the drama. i m pamela brown, in for anderson tonight. the former president kicked off speculation that an indictment that maybe eminent the social media post over the weekend stating that it may come tomorrow but he offered no proof of that. and his own lawyer told cnn that let they write in the media. everyone is in the dark about what is going on behind the closed doors of the grand jury room. and about when they could reach a decision. all we know is that if the former president is charged, it will be historic. and not just for the reasons we cited, but also because of the nature of the crime being alleged. a payoff and cover-up of the alleged relationship with an adult actress, something trump has denied. but more importantly, because any potential indictment could also be the first of more charges to come for former president trump. those would involve separate investigations out of the justice department and the state of georgia. and to his actions surrounding electio
from msnbc world headquarters to new york. welcome everyone to alex witt reports. developing this hour. the fallout grows on the fbi search in mar-a-lago. as we wait to see if donald trump s legal team filed a motion for a special master to review the evidence seized the department of justice is nearing a major deadline to propose redactions for the affidavit season that search. earlier today, house intelligence committee chair adam schiff spoke on winning the balance of the public s right to know versus the government s concerns. i think the question is, at one point in time does the public get to see that affidavit? i think the justice department makes a powerful case that at the early stage of the investigation, when it could jeopardize the pursuit of justice, this is not the time to be giving essentially the trump lawyers a roadmap into how to intimidate witnesses or how to derail illegitimate investigation. this all comes as a new nbc news poll out today shows americ

Defense attorney, drew finley. why mr. finley, thanks for your time tonight. before we get to the specifics of the george investigation, i want to ask you about a possible indictment of the former president in new york. impact the timeline of the investigation in fulton county, and are you coordinating with the attorneys representing him in manhattan? pamela, i am exclusively doing the case with my team in fulton county. we have a total effort, laser focused on this case. you can see by the massive motion that we filed today, this is all we are thinking about right now. i certainly would hope there would not be political gamesmanship as to who can present a case first. but then again, if you look at our motion and we see the political motivations, the attempts to get the trigger account and raise funds of this case, you may think that it might become political gamesmanship but
