rhetoric is escalating ahead of the midterms. we ll tell you about an alarming spike in talk of civil war online. and by some republican lawmakers. and later? our reveal of the day s biggest mystery. why conservatives are suddenly freaking out over scooby-doo. and frankly? why i m not surprised. all of that in more is coming up. and, a good saturday morning to you. i am katie fang. breaking overnight! vladimir putin s military facing yet another critical setback on the battlefield. a massive explosion causing major damage to a bridge connecting crimea to russia. part of the bridge collapsed into the sea, compromising the main supply route for the russian military. and it happened one day after putin s 70th birthday. we ve got kyle perry, he is live now in kyiv. cal, good morning. what can you tell us? he catie good morning. it s hard to understate what a moment this is and how important this bridges to russia s military effort. we ve been talking so much about the ukrainian
case. it is the sort of compel production that is akin to violating your right to remain silent. you re right he s not testify against yourself. whether or not that would work i think it s a complicated question. it would probably be the best shot that trump would have of keeping any additional documents who may still have out of the equation for the doj. the doj already has the evidence and has. it can assess that case. the strategy seems to be based on keeping trump out of additional trouble. if the former president still has documents they will come to light and that will be something the doj will be a able to walk away from. there is a heavier lift in terms of keeping his client under trouble. let s talk about the water probe that the washington post and donald trump himself caught the 15 boxes of records that went the national archives back in january. the post cited people familiar
relief to catch this case likely gets called a shadow docket. what were the full court, without proof a case, without hearing gets, kids simply reject it and for it the 11th circuit to continue with the review that it has undertake it. to that point i want to emphasize this. there is concern circulating about the idea that clarence thomas, because he s the justice from the supreme court assigned to the 11th circuit where they mar-a-lago drama is unfolding, that justice customarily make a decision on his own that would favor donald trump. from what i m hearing from you that would not be the case and it would end up in front of the entire panel of the supreme court if it ended up there at all. if justice thomas were to render a decision in the former presidents favor at this point it would be historically damaging with the reputation

the deadline by clarence thomas s for the doj to respond by this tuesday. so a couple of days. trump wants his hands back on the classified documents. what do you think is the likelihood of trump succeeding with his pitch to scotus? so the brief that trump has written, in this case, is a very inside baseball technical sort of issue. it has to do with jurisdiction. frankly, when you consider the overall context of this case and the notion that a former president walked off with hundreds of classified documents, refused to return them when he was asked to, and the doj was forced to resort to the extreme measure of executing a search warrant to get them back, only to learn that they were empty folders, and likely still other documents that were missing. in the overall context is not particularly appealing as a case for the supreme court to give the sort of exceptional
