guidebook that is currently number 10 on the american library list of most banned books. velshi starts now. it s saturday june, 16th ali velshi former president and donald trump is alleged to have absconded with top secret classified documents belonging to the united states government. his defenders are debasing themselves and their preclinical party to defend their dear donald, but first things first, trump did not mishandled with documents. mishandling is careless, a mistake perhaps, not having state secrets at your golf club. not taking u.s. battle plans from the white house, keeping them in violation of the law and the subsequent corridor, and then waving them around in a meeting with a writer and a publisher, neither of whom have security clearances or the need to know any of that information. but perhaps most damning is trump s public defense against the indictments. the fact is he is not really denying the key points, the fact has alleged in the 37 accounts. tr
hello and thank you so much for joining us. it is 10:00 eastern. i m ana cabrera alongside my friend and colleague jose diaz-balart, reporting from miami today. and welcome to the start of a monumental day. in just a few hours, donald trump will become the first former president to ever enter a plea in a federal courthouse. a grand jury voted to indict the 45th commander in chief with 37 counts relating to his handling of classified documents at his alleged obstruction of justice. now, trump has repeatedly stated he plans to enter a not guilty plea. and he will be presumed innocent just like any other american citizen. this won t be like any other trial. no other trial. outside doral, trump supporters and protesters made their voices heard. and on the campaign trail, the current front-runner for the republican nomination is starting to take criticism from his own party. if this indictment is true, president trump was incredibly reckless with our national security. how a
