back before the court appointed special master, which could potentially throw some sand in the gears of the departments investigation. despite recent reporting that trump s legal team was perhaps looking to soften its tone in this case, the filing today by trump s lawyers is filled with more angry screeds against the department of justice. they accused the department of feigned concern about reported to pin some offense on trump. it is the latest in a series of aggressive and bellicose moves by trump, which he s employed for a very long time to move away from scandals and legal quandaries. and it s more evidence of the mindset with which he approaches both the powers of the presidency and the keeping of the nation s secrets. in a post on his social media website following the filing today, trump told his followers, i want my documents back. that s what he said. i want my documents back. because trump still believes that the classified government records seized from his home
after the august 8 search that there were many other documents. 11,000 documents. there were 11,000 pages, and more than 100 additional individual documents with classified right. remember, each of those documents could have several pages. it continues to be surprising. it s not just kim jong-un s love letter. it s not shaquille o neal s shoe. it s not the momentoes he would waive around to talk about. it s a massive amount of paper that he has rolled away. it s sort of implies some intentionality in all this. i wonder if we can even draw those conclusions. one of the things that was striking about this was that in those boxes, it was all jumbled together. the doj has talked about this. there were news clips, right, in with confidential material, and shoes razor blades, umbrellas at the material. one of the things about him, and this is an effect he had in the white house, it s an effect he s had on our political culture. he has this flattening effect where ever
records. we are tracking the latest developments. first of all, the details of what extent the documents that the trump white house took down there and what is the response to not following the law? they say, in this case, it was not a nefarious purpose. this contained momentoes, letters between world leaders, like north korea, kim jong-un, for example. the relevancy to the january 6th committee in their investigation is not clear. let s go through some of the bullet points here. the great washington post story, what the washington post is reporting is that the trump administration improperly removed these documents from the white house, and took them down to mar-a-lago. the national archives had retrieved the records the last month. these were boxes of momentoes, gifts, letters from world leaders. the trump camp trying to create the narrative that this was all the fun stuff, jim.
against hillary clinton for her handling of information. now is potentially going to be we don t know if the doj will follow up, the subject of an investigation for his handling. let me say this may be a way for the national archives to get all the documents they really feel they need. by going to the justice department, perhaps they feel it s putting a little bit more pressure on the former president of the united states to come clean. if he took personal momentoes, the letter from barack obama. that was in desk of the oval office but if there other things that important documents, they belong to the american people and the american people ought know about it. donald trump has always treated the office of the paresidency a his own. there s no concern about history
momentoes of my wife and stuff. i ended up rescuing some people. tell us about that. how did you rescue people? where were they? they were trapped in their houses. they were sitting outside. they were just waiting on the wildlife and fishery and cajun navy to rescue them. i happen to walk by, cutting through people s yards to get to my house. the water was so high. i got my neighbor s boat and i started to get my stuff. i m walking through the water, i m just telling people come on. i was bringing them to the church up there. i had one girl on my back. the video that you saw, it s what i ended up finishing at like 6:30, 7:00 at night just me going back and getting the gas and water and stuff that i had in the back of my truck for the people that were at my truck.
