than 300 classified documents were found at mar-a-lago since trump left office, and not all of them in that unsecured storage room. the doj says three classified documents were found in trump s desk drawer. and as one former top fbi official put it, the new information obliterates claims that trump and his lawyers have been cooperating and negotiating in good faith to return the records. the doj response raises the stakes for the courtroom tomorrow. a judge holds a hearing on whether to appoint the special master, neutral third party to oversee the handling of the seized documents. the justice department opposes it and says a special master is unnecessary, and would significantly harm important governmental interesting, including national security interests. in the filing, the justice department also released this photo of some of the evidence found in the august search. you see the documents here to spread out on the floor by the fbi with some of the highest classifica
you can see that there are already long lines forming at check-in points here at the atlanta airport. there are a lot of people here hoping to make it home for a merry christmas, but with the nasty weather and the holiday crowds, there are a lot of folks who just aren t going to make it. we got to the airport and as luck would have it, got out of the car and was hit with a six-hour delay. we were trying to make backup plans for the flight and everything is sold out. unfortunately, if we re not going to make it today, we re not going to make it for the holidays. it s a nightmare for alexis and her seven-year-old son trying to fly out of newark, new jersey to be with family at minneapolis for the holidays. tens of millions who are feeling the effects of an arctic storm system that s delivered dangerous winds, heavy snow and bone chilling temperatures that put more than 200 million americans under a winter weather advisory or warning on friday. the conditions are setting tra
investigation as the testimony, of course, of them, themselves, as well, giving evidence about the coordination of trump s plans leading up to and on the day of the riot, about who spoke to the president that day, who also was in the when things were happening and what the president may have told them. maybe communications about what exactly was happening inside of the white house over those nearly 187 minutes. well over three hours. filling in the gaps. gaps between when donald trump told his supporters to go to the capitol and when he tweeted a video to the rioters telling them that he loved them and to go home. now, we know that s the very focus of thursday s primetime hearing and we have someone tonight who knows the people who were in the white house with then-president trump during those three hours and he knows them quite well. trump s former active chief of staff nick mulvaney, he knows matthew pottinger, one of trump s deputy national security advisors scheduled to t
lay them out for us. that s right. two counts. one each for not appearing for his deposition and failing to a second count for failing to turn over documents that the january 6th committee demanded he turn over. but one of the interesting things that happened today, not only obviously was this was he indicted by the grand jury, but this was initially prosecutors initially asked for this to be sealed, because they felt that it was a risk of either flight or for him to tamper with other witnesses. we learned just a while ago that what happened today was he was actually arrested by the fbi, and most cases like this, the fbi allows people to self-surrender, to show up at the courthouse and surrender. in this case, peter navarro was arrested. he lives just a couple blocks away from fbi head quarters. when i talked to him earlier this week, he was really angry that when they served him his subpoena from the u.s. attorney last week, that they knocked on his door. he said they
we hold our hearings next month we wish to provide members the opportunity to discuss these matters with the committee voluntarily. regrettably, the individuals receiving subpoenas today have refused and we are forced to take this step to make sure the committee uncovers facts concerning january 6th. we urge our colleagues to comply with the law and do their patriotic duty and cooperate with our investigation as hundreds of other witnesses have done, and the committee lays out in clear detail just why they need the testimony of these five congressmen pointing to their roles in multiple aspects of the trump coup plot. the committee writes this about jim jordan, representative jim jordan was in communication with trump on january 6th and participated in meetings and discussions throughout late 2020 and early 2021 about strategies for overturning the 2020 election. regarding scott perry, the committee says, he was, quote, directly involved with efforts to corrupt the department
