appointment of a special master. this is kind of a last resort situation. why a trump appointed judges scoffing at his attempt to slow down the investigation. and then it s election night. steve kornacki is here for all the results. from new york, florida and beyond. all in starts right now. good evening from new york and chris says. we do have a lot going on as you can see from the bottom of your screen there. it is primary election night three states, new york florida, and oklahoma. polls of just closed in florida and oklahoma, to be closing in for new york at 9 pm. new yorkers if he s still watching this 11 hour to vote. florida i can tell you that and d.c. news projects that former governor ankara congressman charlie crist as the project tick leader winner of the he will be then be running against ron desantis charlie crist for his old job as governor of florida. congresswoman val demings is the projected winner of the democratic primary for senate. she will face of
it appears willy-nilly from trump and his lawyers, as this kind of magic cape to throw over things. i don t even understand what s the claim here is about the privilege they are describing when the lawyer attempt to say, well, pro four actively were just claiming privilege you can t go to the fbi. yeah. you are right to be confused. because the claim doesn t have any merit. executive privilege is a privilege where the president says to my close advisors and those communications are things that should not be made public. that is not applicable for a whole oral host of reasons. one of the reasons that this is not a defense the relief of donald trump is requesting. donald trump s executive privilege give the document back to me.
against ron desantis charlie crist for his old job as governor of florida. congresswoman val demings is the projected winner of the democratic primary for senate. she will face off in a row marquee senate race for against marco rubio since november. steve no he will be here to take us through all the races, to watch in just a little bit but, the news continues to break. two weeks now since the fbi searched donald trump s home at mar-a-lago, with every revelation, every day the facts just keep getting worse for the ex president. you don t have to take my word for it. trump s republican allies have made that very clear on their own, and trying to defend and they ve been running around painting in hypothetical experiments about how the situation could. be sure the president took a bunch of classified documents from the white house, but how classified are they really? you can say nuclear weapons but there are things that are highly, highly classified, the things that are not highly class
april, important national security interests and the fbi and intelligence community getting access to this material. they also reveal that just again those 15 boxes they had to kind of pry out of donald trump didn t get till january, they found over 100 boxes of classified documents, comprising more than 700 pages. that was the first batch turnover. doj continues quote, access to materials not only necessary for ongoing criminal investigation, but an assessment of the potential damage resulting from the apparent manner in which these materials were stored, transported and taking any necessary remedial steps. that s a representation of the overall tone of this letter which is quite serious all the way through. which makes sense considering were false and the timeline of the u.s. federal governments many efforts to get these documents back from donald trump. the national archives first contacted all trump in may of 2021 more than a year ago about
mar-a-lago in june. this is not a search warrant, they found more documents that he still holding on to and that s before the fbi finally drove the final mile and with the search warrant two weeks ago. now since the beginning of the story there s never been any question about the basic facts, whether donald trump took documents that were not his to take. he should ve not remove these documents from the white house and brought them to mar-a-lago. they belong to the national archives. so the next question was, was there classified material among these documents? again, as not really up for debate. the answer to that is a clear yes. fact in defending trump many of his spokespeople seem to have conceded a point. so the next question, the one we heard was how classified are they? a lot of stuff is classified in government, and it s lot of stuff is over classified frankly, so we ll be talking about the highest level of classification or more
