trapping you in an endless craving loop. nicorette reduces cravings until they re gone for good. my name is shannon knight, and i own little knights daycare. carolina sports incorporated. a paradise for parents. lomita feed, current caretaker and owner. we did not know anything about the employee retention credit. that is a legitimate tax credit. so innovation refunds has really helped guide me through the process. just had to get a few of my records together, submit that, and they made it as painless as possible. i can t thank innovation refunds enough for what they did. good evening, everyone, i m abby philip in washington. and i m kaitlan collins in miami. this is cnn s continuing coverage of the arrest and arraignment of donald trump. there is really in a way to overstate the importance of this day in american history. it is the very first time that a former president of the united states has been arrested and arraigned. this time, 37 federal counts of allegedly mis
for both the prosecution and defense the security perhaps and the impact it all could have on the 2024 election. our expert panels are here to break it down. as the 11th hour gets underway on this monday night. good evening once again i m stephanie ruhle. donald j trump is now hours away from his first court appearance as a federal criminal defendant. earlier today he traveled from new jersey to south florida ahead of his scheduled arraignment tomorrow on charges of mishandling classified documents and blocking efforts to get them back. the government s hearing 49-page indictment lays out more than three dozen counts against the former president including what prosecutors say is evidence of where trump kept america s most sensitive national security secrets in a bathroom, a ballroom the storms in mar-a-lago. trump was asked about his upcoming court hearings in a radio interview earlier tonight. the judge is going to ask you tomorrow how you plead are you going to see anythi
present its case and we don t know also whether the former president might choose to testify in his own defense. i want to start by bringing in cnn senior legal affairs correspondent paula reid who has been all over this story for many, many week, and paula, the indictment is out now. i wonder, what to you as someone following this and every single move and detail, what stands out to you as the most damning information we ve gotten? it s such a strong reminder of how little we know compared to investigators. one of the things that struck me and i think will resonate with the american people are the photographs that the indictment uses to tell the story of how some of the nation s most sensitive secrets were strewn about mar-a-lago. prosecutors in this indictment say that these secrets were in a bathroom, in a ballroom. there you see the photo of them being in a bathroom boxes stacked up there, in the ballroom. these are cardboard, pretty flimsy in a ballroom actively being
bathroom, in a ballroom. there you see the photo of them being in a bathroom, boxes just stacked up there in the ballroom. i mean these are pretty flimsy cardboard boxes in a ballroom that is actively being used for events. there you see sensitive defense information, secrets that are only meant to be shared with a small handful of our closest allies, and they re strewn about the floor of a storage closet. and it s one thing to say that in an indictment, but it s another to support this with photographs. that was one of the things that really struck me in this indictment. but the breadth and the depth of the evidence that they ve gathered in this investigation, it s incredible. i mean, for example, there are two incidents where they say the former president shared classified documents in person. one is a story that we broke last week, a meeting at his bedminster golf club, where he says that he has sensitive information and appears to be urging people in a meeting to look at.
over hillary clinton s emails are now okay with this. then congressman eric swalwell will join me live with his reaction to this historic indictment and so too will sarah matthews the ex trump aide who testified against her or her former boss for the january six committee. good evening i m mehdi hassan, anyone who knows me knows i am not a fan of the george w. bush administration or the so-called republican party establishment that preceded donald trump s hostile takeover of the gop. and yet, in 2016, a group of bush administration alumni and republican foreign policy establishment heavy hitters came together and issued this open letter. publicly stating that they would not vote for their party s nominee, then with aj trump in the upcoming election. these officials warn that the trump presidency would, quote, put it risk our country s national security and well-being. they wrote that then-candidate trump, quote, would be the most reckless president in american history. and
