at former president donald trump s mar-a-lago estate, about two days ago. the new york attorney general is ramping up the civil investigation into the trump family businesses. a lot happening. hello, welcome everyone. mike, great to have you again. mike: great to be working with you, i m in for john roberts in washington. former president trump taking the fifth amendment when questioned under after the deposition of two of his children, comes on the heels of an unprecedented fbi raid at the former president s former home on monday and as calls grow for attorney general merrick garland and fbi chief to address the matter. sandra: andy mccarthy will join us. the latest on the search to his home, but first david lee miller is outside of trump tower. david lee, unexpected that trump pled the fifth today? well, you know, sandra, we all know that mr. trump s behavior can be unpredictable, but this was not an enormous surprise, considering the fact that his attorneys have be
as a potential subject of this criminal probe. this is one of the documents right here. and there is specific language in here about willful retention of documents. in other words, they say, he knew he had them and knew what they were. this is all part of the argument over whether it will release the affidavit justifying the search of mar-a-lago. prosecutors made the case for secrecy because they say evidence may be destroyed. but the judge did set in motion the possibility of releasing a redacted version of the affidavit, a process that could get into gear next week. and ludicrous, ridiculous, bs, those words coming from several former trump officials who are scoffing at the former president and his allies arguments that he had a standing order to declassify documents he took from the white house. cnn reached out to 18 officials and all of them told us they never heard any such thing. we ll have more on that in a moment. first, let s bring in katelyn polantz with more on
