attorneys, look, you guys take the lead, look at everything, dig through it all. have free reign. let us know what is in there and whether or not we need to come pick it up, which they reportedly according to the wall street journal today did and in the end go down. obviously how this played out is a very big concern for national security. whenever classified documents are involved, something that the president himself has admitted is a very serious issue. so jonathan turley says if this handling story is true, this development is what he calls breathtaking in its scope in this case. we re also glad to have the house judiciary committee chairman now, jim jordan. that is his new title. he s joining us. we ll get his thoughts on what their role will be in the judiciary committee with all of this in just a moment. first, to the white house. they re waiting for this to get underway. we could get a two-minute warning at any time. jacqui heinrich is there in position ready to g
mar-a-largo was a storage room that was given added security. the trump team says they gave the fbi access. the biden documents were distributed around different locations. they didn t know what they had or where it was. all the fbi knew is that highly classified material was uncovered november 2 that this material had clearly been transferred more than once over six years. in the midst of this, or at least eventually, they re given the chance to conduct the search themselves as opposed to using unclear counsel. they declined. so what happened? uncleared counsel found more classified evidence. so you could not have handled this more poorly from the perspective of the department of justice. martha: you know, you d think if you really wanted to they keep talking about how seriously they take this. how transparent they re being with it. if that was really your motive, wouldn t you say, if you re the counsel for we re going to learn more about the circumstances why they were
call was treated as an active shooter. the sheriff says the game was known for gang activity and a search warrant was conducted there earlier this month. the sheriff says he thinks this was cartel related and he partially blames the cartels on the southern border. it s very clear that our unsecure border is impacting public safety across the state of california and across our country. i m very upset with the administration when it comes to president biden s administration and not clearly seeing that the citizens of the united states are in danger. that sheriff says that california has taken a soft on crime approach. this state has to start holding criminals accountable who use guns in violent crimes. martha? martha: thanks very much. less bring in robert almonte, a former marshall with experience in cartel violence. sir, good to have you with us today. when you look at these images and i think as the sheriff said,
