as well. marc thiessen, andy mccarthy, nicole parker and juan william following along as we watch this play out in real time live this afternoon as we wait for the president to finish and to come out. first to mark meredith live there outside the courthouse in miami. hello there. hi, mark. martha, hello to you. the story at this hour is two very different scenes. the former president with his legal team and across the aisle the special counsel and the justice department ready to begin this long and lengthy process following the indictment unsealed last week. shows the former president will face 37 different felony charges as a result of allegedly holding on to classified documents and not turning them back over to the government. that s what is happening inside. outside the federal courthouse in miami a different story. you have a media spectacle where you have trump supporters and trump critics out here ready to make their opinions very well-known. we ve seen a couple hund
happening right now, sentencing is under way for oathkeeper s founder stewart rhodes for his part in the capitol riots, and we will find out the time he is going to get for seditious conspiracy. and ron desantis has a huge gap to close against donald trump and we hear about the plan he has to try to close it. and a man is able to walk for the first time in decades, and we have the latest of what is helping him to do it. this is noouz. this is cnn news central. negotiators are working 24/7 to get a deal on the debt limit as the treasury department is warning that the u.s. could default one week from today. this is what house speaker kevin mccarthy said in the last hour. every hour matters, and this is why the white house is meeting on this, and why last night, the team they have is very professional and very bright. they know where the differences are, and how to work on this. as the talks are playing out, the house will recess today and head home for the weekend,
the republican candidates and the other contenders including r.f.k. and mary ann williamson on where they stand on that. i would pardon president up from based on what i see in that indictment, based on the bad present this sets for the country. we need to yunite the country. i don t think biden should hide. other candidates shouldn t hide from this either. it s one of the things the u.s. president is empowered to do, to pardon federal offenses. i ve been clear about where i stand. that can be unifying. i would have different things differently than trump. a different between a bad judgment and breaking the law when us as competitors say we ll pardon him. especially if democrats did the same thing. that could take a meaningful leap towards unifying the country. martha: have you had response from your fellow gop candidates for the nomination as to whether or not they would agree to pardon the former president?
