and barack obama. they don t find out for a year what s contained. and when they do, that s when their alarm rings. they still forebear for four months, because trump says i want to look at national executive privilege materials, lighting at the doj and fbi know. finally, they say, forget about it, and sent this letter that says, you have no executive privilege claim. we re turning it over tomorrow. by the way, that s the claim, and the only claim he is still trying to sow. and it s then that it rolls in quick motion to subpoena, personal visits, and finally, this just tells us, just tell us there s nothing more classified, they signed a piece of paper that they find out is wrong. that is, as you say, 20 months and 20 months that they halfway through finding out that he s been juggling radioactive material, the entire time, with the stomach wrenching consequences that frank and others have brought out.
including that the fbi has not yet identified all potential criminal confederates, nor located all evidence related to its investigation. this afternoon, the current president described how he handles highly sensitive government documents. for example, i had in my home a space that is completely secure. i am taking home with me today it s locked. i have a person with me. i read it. i lock it back up, and give it to the military. to speak about an hour ago, the former presidents legal team, we filed his request that the government stop reviewing the material seized at mar-a-lago. trump is asking for a neutral special master to sift through the documents. drums original request was filed on monday, but a judge asked for clarification to his motion be submitted by midnight. with that, let s bring in our lead off panel. tracy walder peter baker, chief
of staff said this afternoon. here you go. in trump world, they are in a full panic. they are in a mall hunt. in trump world, they are trying to find who these people are who are clearly around, and clearly rabid donald trump out. and the investigators want to protect the security of those individuals because they know. from donald trump s history. that he tries to root out, and puzzle punish whistleblowers. there s been a lot of reporting about the growing paranoia within trump world. given that environment, how are these lot enforcement agencies protecting the sources? that s going to be incredibly difficult. because really, that s what he is making his soul mention. finding out who the moles are, who gave the fbi or the judge department of justice that information to go in and apply for that search warrant. and so i think, really making sure that all of the names are redacted are going to be incredibly important here. and also making sure that everything that is absolutely sea
classified documents with national defence information would wear at mr. trump s residence. and it was probable cause to believe that evidence of obstruction will be found. but the affidavit with entire pages blacked out leaves many unanswered questions about the extraordinary search of the former presidents home, that sparked fears blow back from republicans and mr. trump, who today said, the judge should never have allowed the break-in of my home. and slammed the redacted affidavit as a public relation subterfuge by the fbi and doj, after arguing he d been turning over documents, that the investigation is politically motivated. our thanks to peter alexander for that report. the justice department filed a memo along with the unsealed affidavit, explaining the many redactions. the doj says some idiots are there to protect people involved in the criminal investigation. prosecutors referred to, quote, the safety and privacy of a significant number of civilian witnesses, in addition to
the fbi separately, is investigating, at, best scammers, at worst, potentially, depending on where this case goes, some kind of intelligence operative. we simply don t know. the message is clear. it s not the first time the fbi has had investigations regarding persons authorized, lurking around, penetrating mar-a-lago, chinese nationals, at a minimum, in the past, a couple of, them have done so. so, the question, what s going on with the security posture around mar-a-lago, around this president? the tone for security is always such from the top. if he doesn t want a vetting of people and guests, it s not happening. and apparently, it isn t happening. and so, it proves the point that this is one of the worst places you can store information. and then, his approach to doj, saying i double locked the doors, don t worry about it. i got discovered. it just simply doesn t fly, when you ve got, at best, scam artists were coming in, under false i. d. s, false names, taking the photos with the
