and we are told that this will not affect donald trump, this will not cover his legal fees, but this is for those associates, as you ll remember, in the mar-a-lago documents case, both of his co-defendants are people who are represented by lawyers who have been made an enormous amount of money from that save america pac. but we do know about the legal defense fund. it s going to be called the patriot legal defense fund and run by trump s long-term political adviser, michael glassner. again, waiting to see what those details actually look like, but their clearly money when it comes to these legal fees. it s interesting to see some of trump s 2024 rivals using this as a new form of attack on like desantis, for example, when he s not going after trump for so many other things, he will with this. absolutely. we already saw that at a campaign stop. we can take a listen to the full sound of what he said when it came to being asked about this enormous amount of money.
it s monday. big week ahead. good morning, everyone. we re so glad you re here. welcome back. thanks for having me. how was your week? it was good. it was good. what did i miss? lots of news. nothing. yeah. there ll be lots of news this well. let s start with five things to know. this morning, twice-indicted former president trump is bracing for potentially more charges, but it s not hurting his polling. look at this. a new york times siena poll shows him with a dominating lead. 54% of likely republican voters picking trump. and a mar-a-lago maintenance work set to appear in court. carlos de la vera is reported to tell another maintenance work that trump wanted the security footage deleted. we re learning that trump s leadership pac spent $40 million on legal fees since start of the year. an american nurse and her child kidnapped in haiti. they were abducted from the
boss request to delete the footage. this comes as we wait for more charges against the president. the special counsel s office gets ready to meet with a key witness in the fake electorate scheme. and then there s georgia, where new security barriers are up now outside of the fulton county courthouse, as the district attorney there confirms that by september 1st, she will decide whether to charge anyone for the efforts by trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election there. the work is accomplished. we ve been worng for two and a half years. we re ready to go. so exactly what doeth mean? what will happen? will all of this impact the former president s poll numbers. this new york times /siena college poll shows 54% of likely republican voters say he s their pick. we ve got this story covered from every angle, from miami tlto atlanta to here in new york. let s start with randi kaye, outside of that miami courthouse where we are expecting to see the mar-a-lago property manager
that target letter, he changed attorneys. so it is possible that that makes a difference here of why he was not indicted alongsideday oliveira, but it s something we just don t know. but obviously he is at the center of these allegations here and they chose not to indict him at this time. but someone who was engaged in what the prosecutors say was this allegedly obstructive conduct, who there is no evidence that any surveillance tapes were deleted. so whatever he did with that information, nothing was ultimately deleted, but someone who is an important person here, someone who can potentially be a witness if this goes to trial. as an outsider that s watching this from afar, you are our legal expert and you know all the things, so if this is a dumb question, i apologize. i m trying to piece together the timeline. the first indictment comes, then the target letter to lucille taveras, the superseding indictment has new information in it, taveras has not been charged. taveras has changed
understanding. i m just trying to connect dots here. i know you re saying that we don t have specific information of cooperation, but doesn t this seem to look like he may be cooperating? yeah, that is what you expect to play out for someone who is cooperating, because he doesn t get charged in the superseding indictment, where there is an opportunity, i mean, they were char charging de oliveira, using the name employee number four. they re not going to identify someone who they re not going to charge with a crime and they don t call this person a co-conspirator or an unindicted co-conspirator, they re choosing to name him as an employee, so that would signal that he s unlikely to be charged. but with all of this, we don t know until it happens. and david schoen, last week on friday, who is trump s second lawyer in the impeachment hearing said so much rest on the credibility of employee number four in this. and so now we know the name.
