weaponizing its attack line on donald trump, but he appeared to have given them plenty of ammunition. let s get the latest from rich edson in washington. rich? good afternoon, neil. much of the respect presidential field has criticized the department of justice over this. they re also taking issue with the former president s alleged behavior. his campaign says it raised roughly $2 million last night at a fund raiser in bedminster, new jersey just hours after the former president appeared at his arraignment in a courthouse in miami. as his federal indictment dominates the gop race for president. i don t think that most republicans support the conduct that is detailed in that indictment. it s reckless, it s harmful to the american national security and it doesn t show the judgment that you need to be an effective president during difficult times. former vice president mike pence told the wall street journal, these are very serious allegations and i can t defend what is
i m afraid not, neil. the law that he s talking about is the presidential records act. it explicitly excludes from coverage of the under the presidential records act agency reports. what the case what the case about is in mar-a-largo are intelligence agency reporting about national defense matters. those are not covered under the presidential records act. i don t take any joy saying that. i d love to see a resolution here where president trump said he was sorry for what he did and president biden especially in view of his own problem made his administration drop the case. i m not holding my breath waiting for either of those things to happen. neil: there s another distinction here i m not a lawyer. you are very good ones.
