january 6th investigation in recent weeks. the interview of rudy giuliani finally, right? he s a key figure in former president trump s effort to overturn the 2020 election and then today the georgia secretary of state brad raffensperger, i want to remind people why he is so key here. let s take a listen to a brief cliff from the january 2021 call between trump and the secretary of state. so, look, all i want to do is this i just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have because we won the state. so raffensperger is not only a witness in the special counsel probe. he is also a key witness in the state level investigation. we expect the d.a., fani willis down there to make some sort of announcement about any potential charges she ll bring in august and it appears that special counsel jack smith could be on a similar time line to announce any charging decisions this summer. we are also hearing once again from former president trump responding to our excl
hello and welcome to inside politics. i m john king in washington. thank you for sharing your day with us. relieved of duty. cnn learning a sixth officer now put on administrative leave from the memphis police force and the brutal beating of tyre nichols has a painful memory of missed chances as communities look again at what can be done to change the way cops police. plus this week president joe biden and house speaker kevin mccarthy meet. a debt ceiling stalemate that shows zero signs of ending is issue one. and it s an early test of divided government. today the american secretary of state is in israel. the backdrop for his visit a string of death and destruction. raids, synagogue attacks as it come busts. a memphis police major says a six of the police officer has been now been relieved of duty, in in connection with the stop and subsequent boaeating that l to the death of tyre nichols. it follows the scorpion unit, a police team meant to corral street game no lon
the idea that you have documents that involve life and death issues mixed up in boxes with golf shoes and pants sitting in a ballroom or a bathroom. or a bathroom and then being shared with people because it was bravado. national security isn t about bravado. it s about life and death. so how do you think trump s shifting explanning as here will play out against him in this eventual case? we know the government is going to allege that he did have these classified documents. that s clear from the charges against him, wolf and each of his many explanations because he s constantly shifted from both what happened at bedminster and on his powers. for example, the automatic
chairmen in the senate than what we are seeing in the house of representatives. they want to know about the documents themselves and whether or not any state secrets were spilled in the way that these were handled. not how they were handled, not who was involved in the handling of these documents, not what joe biden did or didn t do. they want to know specifically what is this information and we need to make sure that national security isn t compromised. so i do think there s just a slight difference in what these folks are all asking for. if you listen to senator rubio and warner, it s about the substance and national security. we ll see how it plays out. the senate is not perfect either. but this is james comer, he wants to see some of these too. and again, they want to know all about joe biden. there s a similar issue, much more serious people would say about a guy named donald trump, but but you ve also talked about how you worried about the same situation with the trump fami
should have been impeached, people who believe he should be removed from office, when you ask them why, national security isn t the most top of mind thing that happens. but there is, we ve seen it, a very real impact out in the field. yeah, i m not sure if you can win the hearts and minds of people who are not open to rational discussion. i don t happen to think anybody is deplorable, i think we need to continue to engage people who have radically different views of this president and this presidency. and we all hear that pocketbook issues are front and center, but i think we need to talk rationally and civilly about all the issues, the integrity of the president, his willingness to obstruct ongoing congressional investigations, his national security decisions, and how dangerous they really are to the country. i think we need to continue to frame all of these issues in a way that are civil and that
