presidency. i m john berman. brianna is off. cnn chief white house correspondent and pinocchio fan kaitlan collins is here. i know a thing or two about trump, we got a lot to talk about when it comes to that. not making any connections. we begin with the new cnn reporting overnight involving a newly revealed email from the national archives, email that shows just how long donald trump has been holding sensitive documents in the archives did not think should be in his position at all. the email indicates records were not returned despite a determination by a top white house lawyer that they had to be, according to a source throughout 2021, there are about a dozen emails and calls including a may 2021 email from the national archives to trump s lawyers that reads in part, it is also our understanding that roughly two dozen boxes of original presidential records were kept in the residence of the white house over the course of president trump s last year in office and have no
administration that they need to be. the washington post was the first to report on this email. also this morning, the justice department has got a clock that is now ticking as they face a noon deadline to turn over a redacted version of the affidavit that was behind that fbi search of trump s house at mar-a-lago. a judge will then decide whether or not to release that version given him by the justice department, or keep it shielded from public view. cnn s katalin palance join pola now. what do you think is going to happen in the next four hour oz or so? hard to predict. we may not see anything today. this submission from the justice department regarding this affidavit is supposed to be happening under seal, so the justice department will make their proposals confidentially to the judge, the judge will look at it confidentially, may even make a ruling confidentially. one of the things the justice department is really concerned about is they want to protect in
members of the new congress will take time to reflect on the impact of the trumpet ministrations confrontations with europe the changing role of the united states in the world and that they will feel empowered to do something about it how did you find out that the mission to the united states had been downgraded. well i had heard a few comments about it confidentially but i think it was going to validate broke the story so congratulations for your journalistic work on that so i think it is very important that people are aware that this is yet another blow to the transatlantic partnership after we ve seen the u.s. stepping away from you know shared commitments under the iran nuclear agreements the paris climate agreements seen a confrontational approach towards europe when it comes to trade by imposing tariffs really striking such a different tone undermining the e.u. really by referring to work with member state governments individually accusing the e.u. of being overly bureaucratic an
report? it shouldn t take long. they will read it as quickly as they can. it will not be used as another reason for delay. does anybody know how they deliver the packets of joy? most senators rely on staff. they have a chief of staff and all kinds of communications people. they sit down with their peeps. they don t go sneaking into a back room and then rip it up and put it in the burner. do you believe that the republican leader thinks he can sequester this document with 100 senators looking at it? seems unlikely, but on the other hand, that is the protocol. you don t release these things publically. the fbi treats it confidentially. suppose the report comes out mr. chad ludington said he drank
home. she was shocked when that happened. it turns out that grassley sent three letters. i provided the letters in a link to my column, in which he offered to fly out staff, do it confidentially, privately, take her testimony. this national disgrace, as kavanaugh called it, could have been avoided. but i m wondering whether these lawyers who were recommended by diane feinstein sean: there s a conflict of interest. whether they never told her about it. and that would be a violation. sean: bingo. of the code of professional responsibility. i cite the code sections in my column. sean: she was like, oh, you offered that? thank you. she said thank you to senator grassley. lindsay graham called for an investigate eight of these lawyers. were they acting on behalf of democrats and not in the best interest of their client? sean: great find. victoria brings up another topic here. that is, if you re going to look
