again. i m stephanie ruhle, and we start this evening with breaking news that says donald trump was warned late last year he could face serious legal trouble if he did not return white house records taken to mar-a-lago. the new york times reports that warning came from one time white house lawyer eric herschmann. you probably remember herschmann s very colorful testimony to the january 6th committee. he talked about his efforts to try to stop attempts to keep trump in power after he lost the 2020 election. the times reports herschmann, quote, sought to impress upon mr. trump the seriousness of the issue under the potential for investigations and legal exposure if he did not return the documents, particularly any classified material. we are learning all of this just as the former guy s lawyers are heading into a new round of high stakes court battles. they have until noon, tomorrow, to file their response to the doj s appeal of the judges decision to temporarily block investig
