military sites multiple times and then transmitted information back to beijing in realtime. gillian: the million question now is just what type of information did it collect? the pentagon tells fox news it was limited intelligence value, whatever that means. we expect to learn more when the briefing begins shortly. the government has been studying the wreckage since it was shot down two months ago. i m gillian turner in for sandra smith. general milley gave an update over the weekend. my analysis of china, at least their military and perhaps others have come to some sort of conclusion that war with the united states is inevitable. i think that s a very dangerous thing. i don t think war is inevitable or imminent but we need to be pragmatic going forward. gillian: his message, tone down the rhetoric. john: brace yourself, gas prices may be on the way up. it s a fox news alert. gas prices could be climbing just in time for summer travel. that s the warning coming out to
be indicted. there s huge ramifications. andy mccarthy is here on the trump case and what happens next. first to bryan llenas in new york city. high, bryan. hi, martha. yeah, this is a pretty interesting information coming out. brooks singman confirming that trump has hired a new lead counsel, todd blanche. he was recently a partner at a law firm a top white collar attorney. he was a former u.s. assistant attorney in the manhattan u.s. attorney s office. he will leads the charge in defending the former president here today when the former president surrenders himself to manhattan criminal courthouse behind me. more about todd blanche. he represented paul manafort, the former trump campaign manager. not only did he represent manafort, he successfully represented him, getting state charges that were filed by then cyrus vance, the district attorney of manhattan dropped. he hat state charges including mortgage fraud and a dozen other charges dropped against paul manafort arguin
usually affect independents, suburban moms as far as factoring into that political equation. i think what is going to be fascinating are the pretrial motions. the motions to dismiss. the motions to take it out of manhattan. the legal efforts before this thing gets underway will really tell the tail of the tape. martha: as anyone ever watched a legal process, this will be drawn out, folks, this is not going to be in trial over the next few weeks. it s going to be a very long process and try to basically slow the thing down as much as they can. the issue, one of many issues is that this is just one of many issues, bret. bill barr said this about the mar-a-largo case over the weekend. watch this. one would hope this would be nipped in the bud by people that have judgment. but you know, i m doubting that. so i do think that this is a watershed moment.
martha: it s a beautiful day to fly in to manhattan. no doubt the former president would rather been coming back to his home city for something other than what will happen tomorrow, which is the unsealing of this indictment. that s when we ll get a real first look at exactly what is in here. what is in these charges that merited bringing this case after it had been rejected by the federal officials, also by the sec and others. nate foy is joining us at trump tower where we re told the former president will spend the night tonight. hi, nate. hi, martha. yeah, after the president touches down at la guardia, he will be coming here to trump towers. it s where he and his family stay when they re in the stop. they have the top three floors and a penthouse resident. here on fifth avenue, demonstrators have come out since 11:00 a.m. every thing has been peaceful. we have a strong show of force
bragg is best looked at as a progressive democrat rather than a law enforcement official, this is good politics for him to bring the case. maybe not necessarily good policy for the democratic party. i don t like the idea of a weak case being brought in new york, which allows trump to say the whole thing is a democratic party persecution and abuse of law enforcement power. for bragg s political situation, this is very appealing to the constituency he has in manhattan. he ran on going after trump. the bottom line, i m afraid, for a certain breed of progressive democrat, it doesn t matter how this case comes out in the end. they want prop trump prosecuted. they wants him as put through
