makes, that is the lesson wyoming congresswoman liz cheney learned the hard way this week once the highest ranking woman in the party, cheney just lost her primary election in a landslide to a trump backed challenger. here is a part of her concession speech. two years ago, i won the primary by 73% of the vote, i could easily have done the same again, the path is clear, but it would require that would go along with president trump s lie about the 2020 election. it would require that enabled the ongoing effort to a rival democratic system and attacked the foundation of our republic. that was a path i could not and would not take. this chinese demise is not an unique here. of the ten house republicans that voted to impeach trump this year, only two will be on the ball come november, they either chosen to retire or knocked out of the primaries, like cheney. the gop is losing what little moral compass has less. . i want to know that liz cheney is a hard-core conservative, there
11th hour gets underway on this friday night. good evening once again. i am stephanie ruhle. here we go, after yet another week of growing pressure, the former president is taking his attacks on the fbi to an even more alarming, and potentially, dangerous level. donald trump and his allies have been escalating their rhetoric against law enforcement, ever since the search of his florida home, which was almost two weeks ago. america s law enforcement officials are now on high alert, and they ve been asking to tamp down the heat of rhetoric. but tonight, here we are again. on trump s social media site, i want you to hear how he referred to the fbi and doj. quote, atrocities being perpetuated by the fbi and doj having to do with the raid and breaking of my home, mar-a-lago. he goes on to write, they have no shame. they are destroying our country! of course, there was no break in. the fbi s search, not raid, was carried out legally, with a signed warrant by a federal judge
nation from pro-trump republicans. white house correspondent peter doocy has that for us tonight. gogood evening, peter. peter: good evening, shannon. president biden is suggesting not so subtly that democrats are the only ones trying to save democracy and that republican political opponents support using violence to get their way everybody is entitled to be treated with dignity. simple dignity. peter: not everybody. i respect conservative republicans. i don t respect these maga republicans. peter: now president biden is accusing trump loyalists of encouraging violence. did any of you think you are as old as i am where we would be in an election where we talk about it s appropriate to use force political violence in america? he appears to be responding to senator lindsey graham who warned that a trump indictment could lead to riots in the streets before clarifying a day later that he is not calling for violence. it s never appropriate. never, period. never, neve
investigators, there were more classified documents beyond what trump turned over to the national archives earlier this year. let s bring in former federal prosecutor michael zeldin. what is your reaction to the reports of an informant here that there was a meeting at mar-a-lago in june, after that meeting someone informed law enforcement that there were more documents that were unsecured? is this a possibility that this informant is from trump s orbit? well, it would make sense that somebody within the trump world, within the mar-a-lago complex, had knowledge of the existence of additional boxes, 12 as we learned, and they decided that it was important to honor the obligations of law enforcement and let them know where these things were and so it went. with all the people coming in and out of mar-a-lago, i mean, you can see why investigators would be concerned if there were documents that would pertain to national security for example. and we know that investigators had
moment. plus president joe biden is ready to make more stops on the campaign trail. but some democratic candidates aren t exactly eager to join him on stage. also ahead, the latest from ukraine. as its forces launch a major counter-offensive to re-take a russian-occupied area in that country s south. good morning. welcome to way too early. on this tuesday, august 30th, i m jonathan lemire. thanks for starting your day with us. nbc news has learned that some of the documents recovered during the fbi search of former president donald trump s mar-a-lago resort potentially contain attorney-client privileged information. according to a court filing yesterday, the team used by the justice department has finished its examination of the possibly privileged documents, sorting through them and reviewing any material that could be part of congressional investigators and it would undermine trump s efforts to have a special master over the files. over the weekend a federal judge i
