might in his decision. no, i don t think so particularly in light of trump s railing last week how he would bring hell down on the country if they tried to sentence him. you know, i don t think that in combination those arguments i don t think they can be melded. and i don t think they deserve any consideration. i think those decisions have already been made. all right, ty, thanks. and all staying with me. i want to go down to kristen holmes. she joins us from outside trump s bedminster, new jersey, home. kristen, what can you tell us about the reaction thus far to this surprising superseding indictment on the mar-a-lago case by trump s team and trump? well, first of all, we have just heard from the former president. he did an interview. he said these charges were election interference in the highest form.
legal because they have all kind of melded together as he pursuing this third presidential bid. kristen holmes in bedminster, thank you so much. former president trump expected to enter a plea of not guilty at tomorrow s arraignment of the 37 federal criminal charges against him. trump has been proclaiming his innocence ever since the justice department began investigating him much less handed down his indictment. he s been making a lot of other claims during that time. sarah murray is here with a fact-check. one of the big claims donald trump has made repeatedly is that he declassified the documents central to the justice department s case. is that true? well, yeah, he s made a number of claims like this. at one point he said that there doesn t have to be a process at all, as i understand it. he said if you re the president of the united states, you can declassify just by saying it s declassified even by thinking it. but our reporting has shown that federal prosecutors heard from
insurrection. great to have you joining us, especially on this particular issue. we know that the speaker had been pressured to and ultimately promised to relitigate the investigation into the january 6th insurrection. what was your reaction, though, when you heard that he handed over these tapes to fox news? well, it s kind of surprise, and kind of not surprise. the surprise is i would have thought that he had more respect for the institution. as to, you know, going through and understanding where there are security concerns, turn it over to the committees of jurisdiction first to review. but the thing that didn t surprise me is, look, here s a secret, it s kind of a melded secret that people know about kevin mccarthy. he loves to have famous people on speed dial. in every discussion that you talk with him, he ll mention somebody. by doing this, he now has tucker carlson s friendship and probably has him on speed dial
feel that you seen the worst of the devastation. then you may turn a corner and there s more. you can show pictures of that, and they all melded into one. you then have to get those across. one thing i always find in stories like this, when there are so many people affected or such a big place affected, for me, it s always about individuals and details. i think of this one woman who was waiting for news about her daughter, and somebody passed a bag
things were exactly what they. seem a started out as a big, fancy store. and then basically, it had just declined into a thrift store. perhaps even more concerning to detectives, was the reason julian store was filling. investigators learned julia had a problem with pills. she was taking money out of the till. she was buying chris corruption drugs for people off the street. we found a lot of empty prescription pill bottles and a lot of pharmacy receipts. this was a woman with a serious addiction? she was. but it turns out, julia s financial troubles and pill addiction were no secret. a few years earlier, emily said her grandfather had even stepped in to help. he sent her to rehab. and she willingly went? correct. that must have made melvin really happy? that he could help change her life and spin around to be a positive, yes. when word got out that cops were asking tough questions about julia, many around town thought the police were wasting their time. ever
