you raised an important point too. there s so much we can t see. we are getting basically a key hole view of so much of this. i have had many, many people connected to this case say to me, there s a lot you guys don t know. i wish they would then just share it with us. we re doing our best here. but there s a ton we don t know yet. but a lot has come out in reporting. absolutely. a lot of it has come from reporting. yes, we re just doing our jobs. thank you both for joining me here tonight. up next, there s a new development in other reporting that cnn first broke. former president on tape talking about a classified document that he still had allegedly concerning a potential attack on iran. at the time, he tried to link it to the joint chiefs chairman, mark milley, that you see here. tonight you ll hear directly from general milley himself on that and perspective from the former trump national security adviser john bolton. humpty dumpty does it with a great t fall. wonder
where the successor to general joe dunford, who was the chairman of the joint chiefs at the beginning of the administration, was going on. and my own personal view was that mark milley should be chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. it happened that trump agreed with that and appointed him. and i think that at the beginning, he was enthusiastic that it was a good choice. and i certainly believed that at the time. i was gone, i think, when a lot of this interesting material happened. but it s obvious that relationship between milley and trump soured, as trump s relationship with so many other people soured. as we see these investigations ramp up, we re going to wait to see what the special counsel does on this documents investigation, trump is still the front runner for the republican nomination for president. you ve said you re considering a 2024 run. have you made a decision on that yet? no, i haven t. i want to see what happens with some of the other announcements. i would not d
trump and his capacity to obstruct justice. this particular episode, frankly, struck me as a little rude goldberg like, but not beyond the realm of the impossible. i don t remember the geography or the architecture enough to understand how draining the pool would flood this room. but you ve got to pursue every lead in a case this important. it may turn out not to represent anything or it may. there s a lot we don t know, and that may be part of it. a lot of questions remain. ambassador john bolton. thank you for your time tonight. thank you. also today, speaking of that growing field, trump s former vice president filed the paperwork to run against him, begging the question, what does trump think about mike pence s 2024 bid? we know because he s talking about it. we ll tell you what he said. that s next. also, late new information on the plane crash in virginia, which took four lives.
or merely to criticize trump s performance in office, although that would be, i think, an extensive job to do. it would be with the serious intent to win. i think it s critical for the republican party, absolutely critical, and for the country as well, that trump not get our nomination. i think in a race against biden, as unpopular as biden is, trump might well win. so, i think this is a serious matter that republicans are going to have to deal with. i wouldn t count on an indictment in the classified documents case to save us on this. knowing trump, he may well turn it into an asset. how soon do you think you need to make a decision on the like of this since we re seeing how big the field is getting? well, frankly, that s another consideration. if there s a small army of people wandering around seeking the nomination, i don t think there would be a case that i would be adding anything. but i think it s still early. i think this is a very strange
