again i m stephanie ruhle. alongside my partner ali velshi, covering our breaking coverage of this historic friday as the government has unsealed and estimating devastating 37 count and i meant against former president donald j trump. also the leading tender for the presidential nomination for the republicans. he s accused of mishandling documents and blocking efforts to get them back for mar-a-lago. the charges against him included violating the espionage act, improperly retaining national defense information. within the indictment, photos of what the government says are boxes containing classified material. onstage at mar-a-lago, in the ballroom, stacked to the ceiling in a bathroom. let s take a look at that. there s a toilet or. they re in a bathroom, classified government documents, piled up inside a storage room and spilling out across the floor in another room. today, for the very first time, we heard from the special counsel himself, who has spent some six months
because they ruled in ways you don t like. when in the case where there is something truly outrageous, which took place here, then lawyers can into make these motions. it remains to be seen whether she stays with the case. and she does, special counsel will have to be ready for her at every step of the case. okay, but tali, should, or would ve, could ve, the end of the day of judge cannon s call, is it not whether or not she recuse herself? it s her call whether she recuse. is it 11 circuits recall whether they resign. i don t think either of those things that was going to happen. i think she s going to be the judge presiding on this case. . and how much of a glow is that to jack smith? could she just knock out huge portions of evidence? it s a couple of things. i think it really does matter who the judges. first, there are just the low visibility that decisions that judges are making all the time that have an enormous cumulative effect. i ll give you a couple of examples. in
an appellate lawyer out of boston had had hired an investigator and started interviewing jurors and trying to find out if there was anything they could use to try to get a new trial. during that investigation they determined that juror tapes. they approached this juror and asked if she would be willing to sell them the tapes. first she refused. eventually she said okay, i will sell you the tapes. as soon as she said i will sell you the tapes, they accused her of making the tapes for profit and, therefore, she was unbiased. in some way she was entrapped to selling the tapes. that s true. there was a juror who made tapes and there was a motion for a new trial based on and we had a full hearing on it. i think the conflict though between your recollection and the appellate lawyer s recollection is that the appellate lawyer recollection is that she approached them first or him first offering the tapes for
