believes will help him remaining officer at least when georgia which of course he had lost, so we did. this indicates that there is still some investigation being done. uh, so perhaps it s not as imminent as we first believed. the problem for the district attorney there is that obviously this has been going on for about seven months , and the clock is ticking right for the political calendar. and so the question is, you know, are they going to bring this perhaps in the next month or two? uh wildest of the political count calendar is going on. and, of course, that s also the political colonel. that calendar that the justice department is having to pay attention to, because as you know, the candidates are declaring and everybody is getting ready for the coming election. pamela alright evan perez. thank you so much for that. so let s dig into the merits of three of the biggest criminal investigations swirling around the former
going on looming and all of this. tell us about the new reporting on that, caitlin. so this is trump s attorney as a defense attorney, evan cork. and they re now before d c circuit court trying to push back on what the judge ruled on friday, which is that they do believe prosecutors have met that crime fraud exception here, and essentially, he would have to testify before the grand jury without being able to say i can. no to that question because of attorney client privilege. they want him to answer lines of questioning. he previously declined to answer for that obvious protection. and so that could be something we see as soon as tomorrow. we don t know. actually we know that it is going before the d c circuit court. we know that they have to make a decision on it or otherwise he does have to go testify. and so it s remarkable to see these two things playing out simultaneously, and it just speaks to the number of investigations that are going on. that s exactly right. and remember, thi
investigation of the four that he is facing. that s for criminal investigations, one in georgia to justice department investigations that have sort of merged into one and this one. this is the one they are. they say they are the least worried about the reality is that i m not sure how much his political advisors actually have their hands around what this looks like. i think what the legal team says matters more here. but if this is where it stays, one adviser said to me earlier today. they feel like they can live with this politically if it starts to become another indictment and then another indictment. that s a lot of freight, and i think they re not really sure how that plays out. republicans are twisting themselves and knots over how to respond. they have been at this retreat in orlando. they put out this letter from these three chairman demanding testimony from alvin bragg. we were talking to one of the house republicans earlier today, and i ve spoken to several on the phone today
