investigating the former president s role leading up to the insurrection and standing in the way of the peaceful transfer of power. and he said no plans to meet with smith as of yet. so this just shows how quickly they want to get this process moving, and they want to get the attention of the department of justice. as soon as they wrap up the proceedings today, they re going to make sure this information is in the hands of prosecutors. and of course not just the referrals themselves but the evidence to back it up. and, andrew weissman, as you pointed out earlier, people at the department of justice and jack smith are going to take this seriously to the point where they re going to look at it and they know they have to be able to respond, you know, very affirmatively and responsibly to references to what referrals they get. absolutely. and the part about the underlying evidence is really key. and although everyone is focusing on this stark nature of
it went well. it was a long way to go, and the tooth is going to come out, the truth is going to come out! and i have all faith in my lord and savior jesus christ, it s going to be fine. so that s him outside of court today. i was in quite watching the proceedings today, and i will tell you that the truth according to prosecutors is that he and the others try to stop the transfer of power. that is why they are facing a very serious charge, the most serious charge, so this is conspiracy. they defendant attorneys, basically say look, they did a lot of talking, a lot of bombastic things. but you cannot you know say it s illegal to what they are talking about. that they are not responsible for this. so it ll be interesting to see how this all plays out. but there s a whole lot of evidence, don. all right mike, these prosecute, federal prosecutors, are alleging the oath keepers in d.c., d.c. recordings seem to really help that argument. yeah exactly.

we don t know what s in it. obviously several media outlets, including my own, have argued that it should be released. the justice department is arguing against it. trump s folks gain more by saying see, they won t unseal it. if they thought there was advantage to this, i think he would be getting into this fight himself. his lawyers have not filed anything in this case. his lawyer was there observing the proceedings today, but it s allies of trump who are going about arguing the same case as the media. i think he sees more advantage in being seen as somebody being victimized. because as we saw with the warrant, when the warrant was unsealed, it was not good news for trump as a lot of people around him had been intimating. if not good news, neutral news. the statutes there are problematic for him. and so i suspect that the affidavit would have similar issues. we should point out cnn, the new york times and other news organizations have been pushing for the release. maggie, apprecia
proceedings today, but its allies of trump who are going about arguing the same case as the media. i think he sees more advantage in being seen as somebody being victimized, because as we saw with the warrant, when the warrant was unsealed, it was not as a lot of people around him had been if not good news, at least neutral news. the statutes there are problematic for him. and so, i suspect that the warrant, the affidavit, would have similar issues. we should point, out cnn new york times, other news organizations, have been pushing for the release. maggie, appreciated. thanks very much and because this former president, unlike any before, it was often connected to more than one court case at a time, there s this tonight. allen weisselberg, his former longtime chief financial officer, standing up in a new york courtroom today pleading guilty to multiple felony counts that went on for years. for more on that want to plea deal he agreed to entails, we are joined now by cnn s some
