that is central to his whole ideology, it is being. so this is kind of the ex central fight for his life that i think he relishes. so alien to me, just as a person. i can t imagine. but, you know. yes, well i will think twice about suing you, yeah. please don t. thank you, chris, as always. thank you this at home for joining us this hour. it is been a bad day for donald trump. this morning he was sued by new york attorney general, a lawsuit that could potentially bring him out of business in the state of new york. and tonight, just in the last few hours, trump has suffered a legal step back in a different case. the one regarding the materials seized from his florida beach club. appeals court has ruled that the justice department can have access to roughly 100 highly sensitive classified documents that were taken from mar-a-lago. trump has been arguing that all of the documents seized from his club are as personal property and that if the fbi found anything classified
hours trump has suffered a legal setback in a different case. the one regarding the materials seized from his florida beach club. an appeals court has ruled that the justice department can have access to roughly 100 highly simplified classified documents that were taken from mar-a-lago. trump has been arguing that all the documents seized from his club or his personal property, and that if the fbi found anything classified in there, well, trump magically declassified it when he was president even though he has no record of ever having done that. trump got a lower court judge aileen cannon who he appointed to agree that a special master should go through all the documents. and in a ruling that was widely ridiculed, kenneth said while the special master s going through all of those documents, the justice department is not allowed to look at the classified documents, or to use them in a criminal investigation into trump having the documents at his beach club in the first place.
sat down with my friend rashid johnson, we went through his process. we re talking about how he is helping artists who are underrepresented in the fine arts world, people who are overlooked, how we help them gain a voice. but he s also one of the most successful artists of our time. and he s living in his success, unlike people, artists who have to wait until they die. you know what i m saying, to be appreciated. i can t wait to see it. sarah, i ll see you. have a good evening. this is don lemon tonight. there is lots happening. all the investigations swirling around the former president. a special master basically telling team trump, put up or shut up. he is not buying, maybe he did, it maybe he didn t over de classification. the judge, his name is raymond dearie, calling trump s bluff. saying that his lawyers have not given any proof that the documents were declassified. and seeing if they do not make that case, he s going to determine that they are classified. this may
response to that ultimatum from the special master. when he said he might have no choice but to accept the government s claims that 100 of those documents are classified, if trump s team doesn t step up with the proof that the former president declassified them. and that s really something that trump s legal team has resisted repeatedly asserting both in person and in court and in legal filings. so we saw a filing last night and they said that they might have to save any evidence of declassification to use it as a defense if trump is indicted, and then today in court, trump s attorney jim trusty, he said that the legal team, they haven t seen the documents yet so they can t fully address the declassification issue. so really, they are dodging this question at every turn and really anderson, they have gotten themselves into someone of thorny situation here. the special master is saying he needs proof or else he will believe of the government. in a separate related but in it
handed over to sara sidner. a special master basically telling team trump, put up or shut up. he is not buying maybe he did it, maybe he didn t dance over declassification, and raymond dearie calling trump s bluff pointing out that his lawyers haven t given any proof that documents were declassified. and saying that if they don t make that case, but he is going to determine that there are classified. this may not be going the way that they hoped when they ask for him to be the special master. the doj is suggesting, and it may go all the way to the supreme court, to carve out about 100 documents marked classified from the special master s review. and there is the return of the january six committee. their next hearing set for september 28th at 1 pm, with new video of what happened on the day the seat of our democracy was attacked. and witness testimony that has not been used another hearings. and chairman bennie thompson is hinting that it may not be the last time that we hear
