Happening now in the newsroom, a heartbreaking loss for u. S. Womens soccer. Off the post sweden can win on this kick. Plus one on one with Donald Trumps lawyer who claims trumps efforts to overturn the 2020 election were aspirational, not criminal. And lost at sea for two days in a boat only 12 feet long. Well show you the incredible rescue. Youre live in the cnn newsroom. Hello again, everyone. Thank you so much for joining me this sunday, im fredricka whitfield. Donald trumps lawyer doubling down that trump was within his First Amendment rights when he told former Vice President mike pence not to certify the election results. The Attorney Says it all boils down to the way he asked. And all of this played out in the open. Its all free speech.

Unfortunately most people dont understand thats just one example of the actions. Its very political. Thats just one
Up Way Too Early on this thursday morning. Well have coverage of the State Of The Union tonight. Morning joe starts right now. January 6th was a disgrace. American citizens attacked their own government. They used terrorism to try to stop a specific piece of Domestic Business they didnt not like. Fellow americans beat and bloodied our own police. They stormed the senate floor. They tried to hunt down the speaker of the house. They built a gallows and chanted about murdering the vice president. They did this because theyd been Fed Wild Falsehoods by the most powerful man on earth. Because he was angry and lost an election. Former President Trumps actions preceded the riot for a disgraceful, disgraceful dereliction of duty. Therefore, i am endorsing donald j. Trump. You know, the one thing we cut off there, and maybe its not fair to mitch, is that at the end of it, right after that, he broke into a rousing tune, had a band, happy days are here again. It was like the 32 convention. I coul

never thought i would, i m running out of things to say. having known you for 1000, years that seems hard to believe, dude. or that we will get to the bottom of that jar of peanut butter. there you go. there s nothing left. we will never tire of the things that you have to say. keep saying them. so many takes. i ll be following. thanks, chris. and thank you to you at home for joining us this hour. we start this evening with this. get caught in a hot mess? call the dawn bomb of law. that is an ad for the legal services of the new florida lawyer representing former president trump s alleged coconspirator, walt nauta in the mar-a-lago documents case. just from the layman s perspective here, yes, it sure seems like he is caught in a hot mess. today in miami, mr. nauta finally pleaded not guilty to the charges that he screamed with trump to hide color documents of trump s florida beach club, and then attempted to cover it up. for weeks now, if mr. nauta it has been delay
those are the only three words spoken by donald trump s codefendant walt nauta in miami today in an arraignment hearing that lasted only five minutes. walter replied yes, your honor, when judge edwin torres asked him if he had read the charges against him and consulted with an attorney. the delay in walt nauta s arraignment occur because washington-based attorney, stanley woodward, took three weeks to find a local florida lawyer who would join the defense team as required by florida rules. walt nauta s local florida lawyer is a least experienced lawyer in the case and has never handled high pressure federal litigation. the new york times reports of the 34-year-old lawyer, sasha dadan, his limited experience with the federal courts. her name doesn t appear at all in pace, or the nationwide database federal cases. but she has handled numerous local cases in fort pierce, florida. that is where judge aileen mercedes cannon, who is overseeing mr. trump s prosecution, is based and
