this juneteenth, i m chris jansing. with begin with developments in donald trump s classified documents case and a new ruling from the magistrate judge with strict restrictions around classified documents and warning to him and his defense team that they cannot release evidence to the public or the media ahead of trial. but will the former president cooperate? meantime, the one competitor who trump trails in the polls is slow rolling his start two months after officially announcing his reelect campaign, his first rally over the weekend, and today, his pitch to voters and donors in california. and what we know about secretary blinken s high stakes meeting in beijing, can it calm international fears over the chill between these two countries. and multiple states under dangerous weather warnings at this hour. we ve got the latest on the deaths, the impact across the southern region and that weekend of severe storms and tornadoes we ll have a live report from texas now unde
charges, all the evidence they have gathered in this case, all the testimony they have put in front of grand juries, now donald trump and his attorneys get access to that it will be a gradual process, eventual they will have all of that, including names of the witnesses. they are not allowed to disclose any of that to the public and donald trump is not lieu allowed to keep information a bout that personally this applies to all criminal defense. obviously this gets particular scrutiny because donald trump has a habit of making public information that he gleans from his lawyers in a variety of criminal cases, and witnesses who appear in cases involving donald trump tend to have threats and death threats directed at them there s concern about the security of the witnesses, security of the evidence just to be clear, this does not apply to the classified material in this case that will be subject to a whole
others have argued the president can pardon himself because there s no explicit prohibition in the constitution. it s certainly a legitimate concern, and i think governor hutchinson is right that that s something donald trump would try to do. rethank you very much. and up next a report from beijing on today s high stakes meeting between secretary blinken and chinese president xi jinping. we re back in 60 seconds whenever you re hungry, there s a deal on the subway app. buy one footlong, get one 50% off in the subway app today. now that s a deal worth celebrating. man, what are you doing?! get it before it s gone on the subway app. imagine you re doing something you love. rsv could cut it short.

the cipa law is unfair it gives prosecutors a detailed road map to the trial defense strategy well before the trial begins does this give prosecutors an upper hand i think it does candidly, i think that the way that prosecutors try national security cases is very favorable to the government, and they ve generally been able to get away with that because there are very important secrets at stake in those cases, first of all, and second of all, you know, courts, you know, take very seriously, you know, keeping those secrets particularly when the defendants in those cases are usually people who might be unsympathetic. i think in this case with donald trump being the defendant, obviously former president of the united states, lots of eyes on this, i could see a court listening to challenges to some of these procedures, potential constitutional challenges and otherwise, and so for that reason, i think jack smith would be wise to tread carefully, to
