that comment from his former attorney general really got under trump s orange tinted skin as he prepares for tomorrow s historic arraignment. the first former president to face federal charges and the possibility of prison time. also tonight, the extreme denialism of trump defenders. what they get totally wrong about the presidential records act, how declassification works, and the biden and hillary clinton false equivalencies. and we begin tonight with donald trump s reverse snow bird commute to florida. the twice impeached, twice indited liable for sexual abuse president arrived today in miami, and is spending the night at his doral resort as he awaits his unprecedented arraignment tomorrow. he faces 37 felony counts of illegally hoarding classified documents and obstructing the justice department s efforts to get them back. while this is his second indictment, this one carries the very serious prospect of significant prison time. he and his personal valet and alleged
indicating that trump wanted to see nauta. less than two hours later nauta who was scheduled to travel with trump to illinois the next day changed his travel schedule and began to make arrangements to go to palm beach, florida, instead. that interaction a key driver of two brand-new obstruction charges that trump now faces. he also received one additional count of willful retention of national defense information. he was already facing 37 federal charges. that s where de oliveira who prosecutors say personally helped move box was nauta at trump s behest, he is also facing construction charges as well as lying to the fbi after he allegedly told a federal agent he never saw anything. of course, all of this comes as trump has been bracing for another possible criminal indictment 12 days have now passed since jack smith informed trump that he is a target of the election interference probe and don t forget that this happens the same day that for the first time trump will appear on the same
emails were traced of information that they were maybe discussing in the emails and the vast bulk of them didn t have that. it wasn t like she was trying to squirrel this stuff away. an important point, too, is what trump is being charged with here isn t actually just possessing the documents. if he had given the documents back, i guess it was may, was it may of 2021, when they first started knocking on the door, we wouldn t be here right now. and the thing of it is so i m hearing republicans say, well, everyone is being treated differently. hillary clinton was treated differently because she didn t do what trump did. it s that simple. despite that, she was investigated for a full calendar year. and she cooperated. the doj hounded her for a year. it s crazy. we got you defending hillary clinton. look what the woke mob has done to me. the reality is, hillary
three boxes. six days later, he removed approximately 50 more boxes and on june 1st, the day before trump s lawyer began his search of the boxes, nauta removed 11 more. so to recap, trump admitted to taking the documents on live tv, on cnn and on fox. as the documents were related to national defense, not only were they not covered under the presidential records act, but it did not matter whether or not they were classified to make it illegal for trump to have them. and even with that, trump admitted that they were not declassified. the documents were strewn about in unsecure locations like ballrooms and bathrooms. and when the time came to actually return the documents under the direction of a subpoena, he tried to hide the documents from both the doj and from his own lawyers. so republicans continue to say there s nothing to see here, they re actually taking a page out of the playbook from the last republican president, who was facing a federal indictment.
