Other. With the basic principles of the republic on the line. A name more famous for decades and decades than nikki haley, in republican circles, came out swinging directly at the Presumptive Republican nominee, donald trump, early this morning. In a post liz cheney saying this, quote, the gop has chosen. They will nominate a man who attempted to overturn an election and seize power. We we have eight months to save our republic, and ensure that donald trump is never anywhere near the oval office again. Then liz cheney sent people to this video originally released in may. Watch. Donald trump is the only president in American History who has refused to guarantee the peaceful transfer of power. Joe biden he lost the election and knew it.

Rather than accept his defeat, he mobilized a mob to come to washington and march on the capitol. Then he watched
But i think its important to note what he said on the Ellipse On January 6th is not actually what is in the indictment. And in fact, i actually worry that by calling it the january 6th indictment that it allows this message that you heard to make it about the First Amendment. He is allowed to give a political speech and say wrong things. The argument has to be it is First Amendment protected for you to say i feel like i lost georgia unfairly by 12,000 votes. You cannot call the Secretary Of State and say find me 12,000 votes. Those are different types of speech and it will be interesting to see if any of the republicans make that argument. You and i have covered a lot of these campaigns. I cannot believe that vivek is not trying to seize upon donald trump being arraigned in Federal Court to try to take advantage of his campaign. He sounded like he was auditions for Vice President or a member of the trump cabinet. What kind of bizarre world are we living in . It is his third indictment.
Indictment of donald trump. The federal judge overseeing trumps Election Fraud case has responded to a court filing from special counsel jack smith late last night. Smith wants a protective order after trump posted this last night. It says, quote, if you go after me, im coming after me. Smith wants the judge to stop trump and his legal team from publicly discussing sensitive evidence and hes citing that social media post as one reason why. The judge has given trump until monday. Smith called it an unnecessary delay when trump asked to push it back. A california democrat who served on the january 6th select committee, congressman, thank you for joining me. Your sense of what has been taking place over the last 24 hours, the special counsel is asking the judge to issue this protective order to restrict trump and his lawyers from publicizing sensitivity evidence. Theyre noting this social media post that came from trump yesterday evening essentially leveling a threat. An unspecified gener

Special counsel alleges trump was central in a plot to overturn the 2020 election. The indictment also says he had help coconspirators. It repeatedly references six coconspirators. Cnn has been able to identify five of those six. They are former Trump Lawyers rudy giuliani, john eastman and sidney powell, former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark and protrump lawyer kenneth chesebro. I want to go to zach cohen. Tell us what we should expect to see tomorrow and included in that what kind of security should we expect to see . Yeah, the expectation right now is that donald trump will be in d. C.

All he wanted to do was impede a process thats, well, its stated there in the constitution. Thats all he wanted. Like a bank robber, all i wanted to do was rob a bank. Take all the money. This is exactly what he is charged for, and he admitted it. Yeah. You know, watching mr. Lauro and political defenders like Lindsey Graham, well talk about him in a minute, attempt to defend donald trump over the last couple days, its clear they dont have a lot to work with. Mr. Lauro is a real attorney, unlike some of the other attorneys trump had around him. He was a prosecutor.
