now, it s sickening to see the new attacks on the fbi. threatening life of law enforcement agents and their families. for simply carrying out the law and doing their job. look, i want to say this clear as i can, there s no place in this country no place for endangering the lives of law enforcement. no place. none. never, period. i m opposed to defunding the police and also opposed to defunding the fbi. president biden condemning the attacks on the fbi after the remarks which came just hours before we got stunning new details overnight about why the justice department felt it had no choice but to seize classified documents from the president s florida estate and club. including evidence that some of the documents were likely moved and hidden. we ll have the many new revelations from the late night court filing. also this hour, remembering mikhail gorbachev, the final leader of the soviet union. a reformer who lifted the iron curtain and helped to end the cold war. good mor
unbelievable. those highly sensitive documents, they were all found at mar-a-lago. some of them weren t even in boxes, but rather inside of trump s desk in his office. the doj writing that the fbi seized, quote, three classified documents located in the desk in the 45 office. despite a claim from trump s lawyer that she herself scoured the office and other areas just days before the mar-a-lago subpoena. now all of this is obviously very bad for trump. this filing is the clearest evidence yet that the federal government is also focused on the possibility that trump and his allies were obstructing the probe, and that is a crime. the government suggesting the documents were moved and hidden while they were searching for them. the filings stating, quote, records were likely concealed and removed, adding, quote, efforts were likely taken to obstruct the government s investigation. joining me now on set is donya perry, former assistant united states attorney in the southern distric
information classified at the highest levels. for context that s more than twice the amount that had been handed over in june after a grand jury subpoena. some documents were so sensitive government officials needed a higher level of security clearance just to review them. the doj says government records were likely concealed and removed and that efforts were likely taken to obstruct the government s investigation. we will find out what that could mean and why those seized passports may actually be relevant after all. here is what we don t know at this hour, how will trump s team respond? they have until 8:00 p.m. tonight and how will the judge rule after that special master hearing tomorrow? the doj says a special master would, quote, significantly harm important governmental interests, including national security interests. we will dig into all of that and more with our team of reporters and analysts. let s bring in nbc s julie ainsley former u.s. attorney barbara mcquaid
asylum seekers in new york today and what officials say are the largest single day of migrants in the city so far. a small amount of rain. it is more than enough to force dozens of people to be evacuated from a national park in new mexico. health officials trying a new tactic to protect the most vulnerable from monkeypox by distributing the vaccine at pride parades. we begin with what s been the largest single day arrival of migrants in new york city to date. a mix of individuals now starting a new life in new york. after a 1700 mile trip from texas. these people to some degree are political pawns in a fight over u.s. immigration. texas governor abbott who sent thousands of migrants to cities like new york and washington, d.c. say it is president biden s border policies that forced the hand. democrats like new york mayor called the program inhumane with migrants said to be arriving hungry, thirsty and sick. abbott is just acting out of desperation was political said. this i
june. about that investigators say this, quote, the fbi uncovered multiple sources of evidence indicating that the response to the may 11th grand jury subpoena was incomplete and that classified documents remained at the premises. the government also developed evidence that government records were likely concealed and removed from the storage room and that efforts were likely taken to obstruct the government s investigation. all of this is what led doj to obtain that search warrant for mar-a-lago. during that search agents found more than 100 classified documents at trump s residence. here s what doj says about that misfiling. quote, that the fbi in a matter of hours recovered twice as many documents with classification markings as the diligent search that the former president s counsel and other representative his weeks to perform calls into serious question of representations made in the june 3rd certification and cast doubt on the extent of cooperation in this matter. this
