if these aides are found to be witnesses in the case, that s going to be a big decision that jack smith is going to make. he s going to have to be fairly selective, in choosing witnesses who are not going to display favoritism to their current boss in some ways and are going to be able to stick strictly to the facts. frank, over the weekend trump posted his harshest criticism of mike pence so far calling him, quote, little mike pence and calling him delusional. there are going to be trump allies who are going to dismiss this and just say it s, again, trump being trump. but it s in the context of a special prosecution and an indictment. trump is now publicly threatening by someone who by any fair means is a witness in the election-related case. yeah, no question. i also think it will be a totality of the circumstances argument where literally jack
campaign cleanly and clearly knows. especially in the rally. and you could not help but notice that this was a mixed reaction when mr. pence tried to land some of his harshest criticism against donald trump. when he was most forceful. you saw some of the crowd stand up on their chairs, a standing oh. a good portion of the crowd than didn t abroad at all. they stayed seated. and this is a program s crowd. it is going to be a high wire act. how does he separate himself from the man who was his president, he was the vice president to then being running on his own and trying to forge his own path with those three or four years behind him as his legacy. interesting, kyung lah moines, thank you so much, appreciate, let s talk more about this with my panel. jaime can go, in the last three days since sunday night, i did a town hall with nikki haley. i interviewed earlier today chris christie. and dana just did this panel on this town hall with mike pence. where do you, obviously donald trump
believe that he will be able to chip away at donald trump s lead, jake. kyung lah, how did the audience react when mr. pence talked about former president trump? this is the challenge. this is going to be the challenge ahead, and the campaign plainly and clearly knows it, especially in the early. you could not help but notice that this was a mixed reaction. when mr. pence tried to land some of his harshest criticism against donald trump, when he was most forceful. you saw some and the crowd stand up on their chairs, a standing o, but a good portion of the crowned did not applaud at all. they stayed seated, and this is a pro pence crowd. it is going to be a high wire act. how does he separate himself? the man was president. he was the vice president today
between trump s 2016 campaign and russia before the start of that fbi investigation. in his harshest criticism of the fbi, durham says the agency didn t interview any essential witnesses and didn t do a significant review of its own intelligence data bases. adding, the fbi launched the investigation without any of the standard analytical tools typically employed by the fbi in evaluating raw intelligence. he suggested that if the fbi had followed those measures, they would have found no evidence linking trump s 2016 campaign to russian officials. although durham identified flaws in the investigation, he did not suggest any changes to the fbi s policies. former fbi deputy director andrew mccabe defended the agency s handling of the investigation. yeah. i vehemently disagree with mr. durham s characterizations of what we did in the report.
lawmakers and especially all eyes on the speaker today? reporter: santos has been largely roasted on capitol hill by democrats and republicans alike. in fact, it is his fellow republicans from new york who have had some of the harshest criticism of him, calling him a liar, loser, just an embare rantment to the republican party and republicans in new york specifically. those defending george santos outrank those criticizing him. we heard from speaker mccarthy this morning reiterating he would not call for santos to resign. here is what he told reporters today. you have your day in court and go through it, just like when another member inside the house, santos was never put on committee. he won t serve on committee. go through his time of trial. we will find out how the outcome is. reporter: what you normally see with an indictment it s interesting side note that we
