coronavirus pandemic. no surprise there. with the monkeypox outbreak happening now, the big question is, are the changes coming too late? big questions as the 11th hour gets underway on this wednesday night. good evening once again, i them stephanie ruhle. , and his allies played in the days ahead of the capitol riot. even trump white house records, and quote, have issued a grand jury subpoena to the national archives, for all the documents the agency provided to a parallel house select committee inquiry. according to a copy of the subpoena obtained by the new york times, those materials included records from the files of mr. trump s top aides, his daily schedule and phone logs, and a draft text of the presidents speech that proceeded the riot. the times says the subpoena is not related to the fbi s search of trump s florida home. so, that means, the department of justice is running a separate probe into the trump white house, and what the former guy was doing on january 6t
his lawyers mistakenly sent years, years of his texts to the oppose counsel. oops. we begin tonight with samuel alito. the supreme court justice who played partisan god or at least thought he could when he authored the majority opinion that overruled roe. now we imagine today was a hard day for justice alito, but, no, we don t feel especially badly for him. remember, he s the one who cited in his opinion a 17th century jurist who supported marital rape and witch burning so it shouldn t surprise us at all that alito in the first public appearance gloetd over making women suffer and mocked his foreign critics during a speech he delivered in rome. i had the honor this term of writing i think the only supreme court decision in the history of that institution that has been lambasted by a whole string of foreign leaders. one of these was former prime minister boris johnson, but he paid the price. what really wounded me was when the duke of sussex addressed the united nations and
folks that are under investigation a roadmap to where the investigation is headed. because that would permit them to interfere with it. it could mean that witnesses would become intimidated and might not become available. and since the government s whole goal in these investigations is to get to the truth, it is essential that they have access to those witnesses. that, i think, is one of the primary reasons. but also, this sort of an affidavit contains material obtained through the grand jury. that has to be kept secret. that is a legal requirement. there is likely a lot of classified material in this search warrant that needs to be protected. and even the rights of people who are under investigation but have not been charged, their rights are best protected when something like this affidavit remains sealed. so, i think it is awfully unlikely that we will see the entire affidavit unsealed tomorrow. we ve got another one, andrew. abc reporting that weeks before the mar-a-lago search,
within days of each other. because you can imagine, the department saying, you know, there is top secret material at mar-a-lago, and we have kash patel, a designate of the former presidents, talking about making this public. so, from a national security perspective, you can really see the urgency of the department taking action. to protect all of us. if andrew weissmann actually said on our show, coincidence, i think not, i would be the happiest person in the world. joyce, something else happened today that made very big news. mike pence said he would consider an invitation to speak to the january 6th committee. here is what i do not understand. why in the world has he not been subpoenaed yet? you know, congress is running into a little bit of difficulty trying to enforce it it s subpoenas. it has to rely on the justice department and except in the
would take the classified documents and published them on his own website. what in the world is he doing? is he basically putting the crime out there and trying to normalize it? because the department of justice is paying attention to this. so, the kash patel case, i find fascinating. and i am sure doj is all over this. kash patel, in june of 2022 so, just a couple of months ago was designated by trump as his representative to the national archives in terms of the presidential records. i don t know what in the world kash patel can be thinking in terms of saying, i am going to spread out in the world, classified documents. but when you look at the timing of when cash patel s saying this. when he gets appointed by the former president be the representative the national our guys, and the search that was done in mar-a-lago, i don t think there is a coincidence, that this is all happening
