judge cannon seems to say that a former president might be different in her view than a regular joe. quoting her now, as plaintiff articulated at the hearing, the investigation and treatment of a former president is of unique interest to the general public, and the country is best served by an orderly process that promotes the interest and perception of fairness. unique interest, she writes, before granting what the former attorney general under president trump, no less, recently said this about. well, i think the whole idea of a special master is a bit of a red herring at this stage since they ve already gone through the documents. i think it s a waste of time. agree or disagree with that notion and whatever you might think of how judge cannon arrived at her decision, we ll talk about what it portends with our legal experts in just a moment. first, cnn s sara murray who has all the latest on the ruling itself. walk us through what the judge issued today. reporter: as y
but once again, we don t know for sure the identity. we do know for sure that a body has been found three blocks away, 20 minutes away from the college where she was kidnapped. again, that development just happening now. gary, i know you ll keep us posted on that. i understand in the meantime, there s a chilling backstory about the suspect. what have you learned there? reporter: right. so this suspect, who right now is arrested and charged with this kidnapping, back in 2000, he was found guilty of another kidnapping. he kidnapped a man who was a lawyer, who got to escape. he got out of it. and he ended up going to jail, the suspect, for about 20 years. he got out of prison in november of 2020, about a year and ten months ago, and now this is going on. tomorrow he will be in court for his arraignment on this case. john. all right. gary tuchman for us in memphis tonight. as i said, gary, keep us posted on these developments. up next, we re going to have
because my initial instinct was, well, but whatever it takes. but the fact is this is cost prohibitive already for so many families, so you don t want to add to that. that s a real concern as well. that s a problem. thank you, allison. don t miss it. cnn s special report, the baby business. it is tonight, 9:00 eastern right here. thank you so much for joining us. ac 360 starts now. the ruling is being called unprecedented and some are calling the basis for it into question. what is not in question, though, what a florida district judge has just decided in the mar-a-lago documents case has immediate implications and perhaps long-term consequences too. john berman here in for anderson. judge eileen cannon s ruling today calls for a special master to look over materials seized from mar-a-lago and temporarily bars the justice department from using it in its investigation of documents in properly kept at the palm beach resort. now, in part of her ruling,
sword for republicans. well, i m not sure how it s going to impact the midterm. i worry more about if this case continues and continues and continues and it ever leads to indictments or, you know, some lengthy investigation, i mean as soon as the midterms are over, as far as i m concerned, we re in the presidential cycle at that point. so if donald trump announces for president and they have this investigation going on, it s tricky, i think, for the biden administration and for doj at that point to be investigating a presidential candidate that they re obviously already looking into now. i don t know what the ultimate effect of that would be, but i do think it s a tricky situation, obviously something we ve not really faced before as a country. thank you all so much for being with us. i hope you all had a kwufl holiday weekend. tonight, the desperate search continues for a missing teacher in memphis. police say she s the victim of a violent abduction and was kidnapped when she we
that s something that the supreme court reserved just earlier this year in a case against president trump against the january 6th committee. it s an issue the supreme court reserved 40 years ago in a case called nixon v.gsa. i tend to agree with judge gertner. i don t think trump will win that one, but it s going to take months for that issue to get to the supreme court. this gives both sides some kind of space maybe to make this case go away and reach a deal so that we don t keep pressing forward on its own schedule to try to get to an indictment. elie, i ve asked you this about 30 times in the last weeks here. say something is covered by executive privilege. that doesn t mean the documents aren t classified. that doesn t mean the documents don t deal with national offense. why would it mean, then, that they were allowed to be at the president s beach house? right. i don t think it would mean they re allowed to be at the president s beach house. i don t think even if a
