Indicted for you. With gop voters have second thoughts about making him their nominee. Plus inside of his legal strategy. Weve never had a situation where a spirited debate about the constitution has become a criminal case. Is that trumps strongest defense . And will a federal judge punish him for a threatening post on social media . I dont think this judge or this prosecutor are going to tolerate that. And President Biden is running for reelection on a strong economy. Bidenomics is restoring the american dream. Could he convince voters that his plans are working . Welcome to inside politics sunday, im abby phillips. As Donald Trumps legal peril grows so does his anger at everyone he holds responsible. Last night he unleashed his fury on President Biden an the Special Counsel. Were kicking bidens ass, and that is the problem.

Off the post. Sweden can win on this kick. Plus, oneonone 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 and youre live in the cnn newsroom. Hello, everyone. Thank you for joining me this sunday. Im fredricka whitfield. Former president Donald Trumps lawyer speaking out this morning doubling down on his argument that trump was within his First Amendment rights when he asked former Vice President mike pence to overturn the election results. And that it all boils down to the way he asked. And all of this played out in the open. Its all free speech. There was a Supreme Court decision, which is right on point, that says when youre exercising free speech, youre not engaging in a fraud on the government. And thats what unfortunately, most people dont understand in this context. Thats just one example of the actions. Thats just one e
The lookout for. He did it in front of everybody. But today, he was nabbed, so to speak. He was arrested and booked. No mugshot was taken at the ex president , but his fingerprints were taken. There are no cameras allowed in federal court. We have these sketches, where donald j trump, the 44th president of the united states, was the rain, 45th president of the united states, was arraigned on four Felony Counts for his attempts to steal the election. The ex president pleaded not guilty, there were no literal handcuffed. But he surrendered and was arrested, he submitted to federal custody in the federal courthouse. Special counsel jack smith sat in the front row during the arraignment. Defendant trump was sworn in. We did not hear a lot from him, but when asked by the Magistrate Judge, he stated his full name, quote, donald j trump, john. When asked his age he said 77, 77. He entered a plea of not guilty on all charges for his attempts to subvert american democracy and end the Constituti
Stephanie ruhle. As Donald Trumps legal problems continue to grow, democrats are making a big push for transparency. More than three dozen House Democrats called for cameras in the courtroom during the doj cases against trump. Its something that trumps own attorney was asking for just a few weeks ago. The first thing we would ask for is lets have cameras in the courtroom, so all americans can see what is happening in our Criminal Justice system. And i would hope the department of justice would join in that effort so that we take the curtain away and all americans get to see what is happening. Earlier today, our friend near called deal laid out the importance of having those cameras in the air is. Why dont underestimate dawns ability to try tostay stuff outside of court to his party, lawyers, and so many others, all of which can undermine decorum anyway.

Effort so that we take the curtain away and all americans get to see what is happening. Earlier today, our friend near called deal laid out the importance of having those cameras in the air is. Why dont underestimate dawns ability to try to stay stuff outside of court to his party, lawyers, and so many others, all of which can undermine decorum anyway. The best check on that, and this is something that one of our greatest justices sunlight is the best disinfectant. Let the American People see this trial for themselves, day in and day out, and make their own determinations. We shouldnt be relegated to secondhand descriptions of some Courtroom Sketches of what is going on in that courtroom. Meanwhile, the former president launched a threatening post on his social media site earlier today, writing this. If you go after me, im coming after you just a few hours later, prosecutors proposed a Detective Order citing that very truth social post. They are asking the judge to stop trump from just
