good morning. it is sunday, july 2nd. i am michael steele filling in for my good friend ali velshi. donald trump s third presidential campaign is unlike any other presidential campaign in american history. as that twice indicted, twice impeached former president waits to see what other legal troubles might be coming his way over the next few months, he s used his campaign rallies to air out his grievances, and rather than focus his efforts on his legal defense and actually trying to find a lawyer who is going to represent him, he s chosen to litigate his case on the campaign trail instead. yesterday, trump made a stop in pickens, south carolina, a small sleepy town near the blue ridge mountains that has a population of about 3000. he was supposedly there to campaign, but mainly, he was there to complain. a former president spent roughly 90 minutes on stage, spewing out disinformation about his legal predicament, and vowing to take revenge against those he considers his poli
Joining us tonight. Cnn prime time with abby philip. Starts right now. These days it seems like the epicenter of american secrets isnt the cia, the pentagon or even the white house.

Good evening, i am abby philip, and tonight, abc and the New York Times both reporting that, after lady leaving the white house, trump told a club member at maralago Sensitive Information about u. S. Nuclear submarines. That number is not only a for national, but hes also an australian billionaire who allegedly spread that information to more than a dozen foreign officials.

ukraine, and vladimir putin will have ceased victory from the jaws of defeat. point well taken there. but on the topic of what the former trump white house press secretary, stephanie grisham told me recently. this is what she said about her experience, personally, with the former president. take a listen. i watched him show documents to people at mar-a-lago on the dining room patio. so, he has no respect for classified information. he never did. are you at all confident that trump s legal counsel can ensure there are no further risks of national security leaks? no. of course not. and i would actually go a step further. it s not that donald trump has no respect for just classified documents, donald trump is no respect for the rule of law. over his 15 year career in a private and public sectors, it has been one long conspiracy against the law, one long trail of litigation to try to avoid accountability from the law. and finally, the buck needs to
