asked to produce it in the subpoena, and it took a search warrant for them to get it back, there s strong evidence there of not only a strong violation, but it willful violation of the law. let s talk about what happened this afternoon. at about 2 pm we had attorney general garland s coming out and saying, all, right you want to see the documents? we will give you the documents. then he says, i don t know if it s mcmanus or it legally necessary, he says donald trump and his lawyers should have an opportunity to have to sign off on this. the judge that, you have the 3:00 tomorrow to get in touch with trump s lawyers and come back to us and see if you want to release these documents. then we get katie benner s reporting from the new york times, before i saw the washington post reporting which said that there is some talk that maybe trump s lawyers, or trump s circle doesn t want disinformation released. and i thought that odd because everyone s been agitating to be getting the set for
past of people who either got into the club or got themselves invited in the club, or try to join the club, perhaps with some intent to get access to the president, and possibly, information that is not otherwise public. i want to read you one paragraph from the store and get your take on it because we are expecting that we are going to hear something tomorrow. because attorney general garland has moved to unseal the warrant, and he has said that donald trump s lawyers should have the opportunity to be consulted on this and make a decision whether they want that to happen. in the article, it says, if my prop book, the warrant will probably reveal a general description of what immaterial agents were seeking at mar-a-lago, and what crimes they could be connected to. a list of the inventory that agents took from the property will also be released. details could be limited, however, particularly if the material collected includes classified documents. which you are now reporting might be t
they didn t support donald trump from home. and when people try to take it seriously as you hear on fox news, or as you get on those youtube channels, where they say this as we re all of a sudden. they immediately abandon them. that s amazing. the guy that went to an fbi office, and tried to shoot his way into it. ben, thank you for your coverage as important, ben collins senior report at nbc news. we have much more on all of these breaking stories just ahead. ahead. he s been wondering about the address for seventy years.

justice department was searching for with the fbi were nuclear documents. i m not sure i have words to understand what has happened here. i think it s really stunning that that is the content of these documents. there is no innocent explanation if these documents indeed included information about america s nuclear secrets. one has to wonder, what on earth could be the reason that donald trump would want to possess those things? in my career, i did national security cases, on occasion, i had an opportunity to review, and hold, documents that were at the top secret level. and it made me quiver to read them. i do want to hold it, i wanted to put them away somewhere so it terrified me to have it in my hands. the idea that you can take those boxes and put it in your basement is really astonishing. it s also a very serious crime, ali. the espionage act makes it a crime to gather and retain improperly national defense
restore the norms to the justice department. and as i said, it s important to have norms, and it s even more important to adhere to them in times of crisis. and this is one of them. so he found a way to adhere to the norms. but still provide the information that the public really did need and deserve. and he said there s been strong public interest in this matter. so that is to unseal the document. he didn t talk about donald trump at the press conference, he talked about process, he talked about the [inaudible] of the fbi, and they found a motion to unseal this so it will be speaking through their court filings. as to donald trump s suggestion in kenya betters reporting that he might oppose it after all of this, is really quite rich. as you have mentioned, ali, if it does say things like, their nuclear secrets in this document, you might see why he would want to stop.
