deciding meaning in their closed room before they decide whether or not to hand them over to the house of representatives. they ve already allowed a redaction today about whose names appear on these tax returns that the bank says they have. so is it very likely, in your view, that that s the way the court would proceed? they d say, okay, let s take a look at all of this stuff in question, we ll look at it, we ll decide if there s material here that is worthy of being fulfilling these subpoenas. yeah, i think it s likely that the court will look at the documents. keep in mind, when donald trump used to go on and on about how they raided cohen s office, they didn t raid an office, a judge issued a subpoena based a search warrant based on documents that had been presented to the court. so the court here are seeing a lot of things that the public has not seen.
confirm what your source has told you, if the court confirms that there are signatures on these loan documents from foreign entities, then that just maybe the house of representatives case even stronger. because that would be indicative to the court that congress has needs to look at the implications of a president who is elected when he is leveraged like this by foreign interests. and, you know, if your source is right, this is this is really going to shake the ground, and if the president wants to clear this up, he could do it by presenting those loan documents tomorrow at a press briefing in the white house. senator mccaskill, let s stay on this for a minute. legally put on your prosecutor s hat as a former attorney general. you said that the court could conceivably examine these documents in kamara before
