essentially undergoing more legal scrutiny. what prosecutors are doing is raising the legal magnifying glass and reviewing all the cases that these five officers have been involved in. criminal cases, since really day one of them becoming police officers. and it s not just prosecutors, jim. also defense attorneys in memphis that we ve spoken with that are now combing through their own individual cases and seeing if their clients somehow encountered any of the members from that now defunct scorpion unit. we ve also done a cnn analysis over the disciplinary documents and all those four clips of the body cameras. and that pulled camera and cross reference them to see which officer did what in the beating of tyre nichols. how far did they go? who was the officer who tased nichols? i want to bring you back to that first scene, zeroing in on the very start of the traffic stop.
right now, there are many questions facing this administration about where this object came from. what it was trying to do, the size of the object. it is certainly just another heightened moment as we have now seen three shooting downs of aerial objects over the united states, over canada, over the course of the last week. all right. thank you very much. let s bring in cnn s paula newton. one of the questions hanging over everything is what are we dealing with? these objects have not been identified. what s the latest? absolutely. there s certainly significance as to what has developed. one thing we should point out is the transparency. and how quickly we heard this object was identified and taken down. i want to you hear from justin trudeau who tweeted, i ordered the takedown of an unidentified object that violated canadian air space. norad shot down the object.
in the handling of classified documents. the attorney appeared before the grand jury in washington recently according to sources familiar with that who have talk to cnn about this. she and another trump attorney have faced scrutiny since last year when the fbi discovered claft documents at trump s mar-a-lago estate search. let s talk what is happening in the political world with s.e. cupp and molly. molly, how much of a problem are these mounting legal issues for the trump campaign? i mean, i suppose one could argue that trump will see this as, well, once again, playing the victim in all this. he s a political martyr. i suppose they might think of that one to throw out to the public if this continues to go forward. well, there are all these different cases, right? and there is the doj case, the georgia case.
reporter: that was not the truth. we even heard it from their own police chief who that there was not a shred of evidence. nichols with any reckless driving, nor is there any evidence that he swung at them or tried to hit them in any form or grabbed for their guns as they claimed. in police-worn camera footage. thanks for that. for more on the memphis police investigation, let s talk to cnn s senior law enforcement an liz charles ramsey. what do you think about them reviewing all the cases? it sounds like it could dredge up a lot of uncomfortable information for the city of memphis. no doubt it will. i think the d.a. is very smart to take the initiative doing that. people don t realize, these have far-reaching effects.
