people to flip late in the proceedings. as late as sometimes as perhaps the eight of trial. sometimes defendants join together and form a joint defense agreement. it is actually quite comment. that means we are going to a lot of, so we are going to share our attorney-client privilege, we are going to for my team. there is a separate question about will they request to be tried together, at the same time, or separately, which is a really important strategic decision that ultimately parties may argue about, the prosecutors usually want to try everyone together. the defendants sometimes want separately. that is going to be up to the judge. judge cannon. different just wrote different ways. prosecutors, they want to be able to tell the whole story, they want to mitigate. it walt nauta may be afraid of sitting at the trial table with trump, but then i want to sit together if they can catch a sympathetic juror. it is interesting to me, that someone would remain loyal to someone, who if the
it just doesn t apply when you re using someone like an attorney to commit a crime. let s talk about the butler, the valet, walt nauta, who we have seen over the last 24 hours still very close to the president and walt nauta and the former president not speak directly about the case. how is something like that enforced when we can all see they re still very close. yeah. it s not. even in the real world and practically speaking, each of these people will have an attorney. there s going to be what s known as a joint defense agreement which means that the attorneys can properly speak to each other about strategy, about the case and consult with their lawyers and their clients at the same time. so it s it s a standard warning that s putting all of these post-indictment warnings, bii really don t think it s that meaningful here. how challenging does it become when the president,
yeah. trump s worried about that. come on. why do you make that claim. it seems to me there should be a more of a line of separation and that judge wouldn t wouldn t the judge have the ability to require that? absolutely. to require that they not discuss the case. however, they will have, in all likelihood a joint defense agreement, the attorneys they re co-defendants in this case, right. unless, again, unless nauta decides with his attorney or maybe he leaves and gets a different attorney, things could go, you know listen, we don t know how this is going to go. that seems really this i say kid, this guy, i mean he s totally going to be hung out to dry here. yeah. and his lawyer, you talk about you talk about ethics and the spotlight on his lawyer who is being paid by people who are loyal to donald trump, you know, his interest rates and
very odd, trumps lawyer talking to nauta s lawyer. unusual in that these two are charged in a conspiracy together and it i don t know that their interests are 100% aligned. can you make sense of them talking to each other? i can. we do not know if they have a joint defense agreement that would give some structure as to how they talked to each other but their individual lawyers are supposed to represent their separate interest and i think the reason they cannot speak to each other directly, which is a very common condition and one of the ones imposed today, is that we don t want them to coordinate their stories with each other and somehow distort how do you stop them from doing that? yes. on the other thing is that we really don t want one of them to unduly influence, pressure, tamper with the other, and you
of lastly, what are the munitions going to look like? the f-16 is a platform and does a lot of different things. this pilot training is a reason why a number of the members of congress are calling on the biden administration to start training earlier in case we got to this point. let s talk about what was signed overnight. the president had to cancel the leg of the trip. he didn t go for a first ever, what would have been a historic visit. but secretary blinken went. they have come out with a joint defense agreement, a maritime agreement. can you speak to the significance of that given the rising influence of china in the region? yeah. big win for the administration diplomatically. it is a location right north of australia. provides tremendous place for the navy to project power from naval assets. we saw the chinese make deals before. there is this pivot to the pacific that is finally now taking place. i think it s very important that this administration did that very big win for t
