chinatown and dc, and even more boxes at the universitys f pennsylvania, and documents strewn all over his garage floo rkr where he parks his corvette and which is secured by only a garageor door that. is paper thin and open. most of the timeump also. trump also said he has been summoned to appear at the federal courthouse iurthousn miami, florida, next tuesday. another quot ie i never thought it was possible that such a thing could happen to a former unite president of the ud states. i am an innocent mann innoce, hd this is indeed a dark da sy forf the united states of america. matthew whitaker is the former acting attorney generaorney gelr former president trump. he joins me now with reaction. first first of all, just your in reaction to what the formet jur president just said. this is a dark day for this nation. yeahs, harris, good to be with you. it s a really sad day for our countrd da y. i mean, if you believe ine the rule of law and if you believe in equal justice
concerning. and, you know, i join a lot of americans that kind of have a sinking feeling that this mayn be, you know, the best days,ow the united states may be behind us if this ds of is how our polu climate is going to be. you mentioned thapoliticat hd have declassified those documents. do you know why he wouldn t have done that? yeahd thos . yea yeah, i don t i mean, i think, again, it was the my understanding that the special counsel putd that witnesses in front of the grand jury that said that donald trump ha d declassified certain documents, especially the ones that were, you know, ine of the presidential residence at the white house. but, you know, again cuments , eacheral one of these documents is going to have a story in each one of these documents. nt is goavthe federal governmenr to have to explain to a jury beyond reasonable doubt thatd ts president trump couldn t have e and shouldn t havet had these. and it was illegal for him to have them. and, you know, again, we ha
similar but treated very differently and biden as opposed to a seriousl one thing we could see is if this this other special counse l says, you know what, we live by the rule of law. mod what the biden family did and monetizing their their i remember joe biden, who was vice president, likely a candidate foandidater preside, they made a lot of money. we re going to have a full fledged investigation and we re goin ave to ag to have to apply the a standards through the papers that were taken oun t by vicel president biden, and that would be restore some type of model. but i don t think they re going to do that. i think the door we may have lost, victor davis hanson shotca and he stayed with ushe technologically as long as h e could. thank you, victor. if you can still hear me, i want to go to kevin corke, hi our correspondent who s working on this in washington, dc. form again, former president donald trump indictede for having classified documents after he was president ande no
all the resources they possibly could and tried to prove anything cou they possibly could. and they never got a single charge out of that againstt ag donaldains trump. and i just see this is another example of that where the department of justice is for some reason, probablyan because donald trump isn t beholden to anybody. ally, yoand can actually, you kh take this country in a betterat and improved directioney re go,a that s why they re going after him, because they want to stop him in the swamp. ean and the people that live int are real and they don t like donald trump. do you think that he has aron the legal team around him at this point that can handle allh? of this? do you see himdo you bolsteringt at all? and would you want to be on it? ityeah. f time so i spent a lot of timetrum. with president trump. i just saw him in iowa lasthe week. you know, he s going to have to determine whetherras the r hs the right people in the right positions. and, you know, ultimately, that s
clear. but i was i did receive confnews from a journalist first and then confirmed it immediately after. but, yeah, that s that s sadly that just tells you everything, i think. right. it sayeverything, righs a lot. have you talked with the president tonight? yes. yes. and what, s what is hisf this mood right now? where is he in all of this? we sawt on the the posts on his true social social media platform p. where is this head right now? well, it s not really a different day for president trump, right? i mean, this is something that he s gone through, unfortunately, befor e and i wor would love to tell the world that he is shocked. i that is upset. he s only sad for the country. and i think that justhatt embols him. it emboldens his base. it emboldens the people that tho don t want to see a biden administration take over for another four years. we don t have that ine. us anymore.
