watching symone. i m charles enforcement sanders-townsend. crisis averted, even though no one got everything they wanted, president biden says americans got what they needed in the debt ceiling bill. today, the president signed the bill into law. we are talking to the democratic lawmaker about why she voted against it, and what happens next. and republican primaries are about to get more crowded. some high-profile republicans are jumping in next week. will that hurt donald trump, or enable donald trump? our political panel ways and. now, trump may be riding high on the campaign trail, but the thing that could be dragging him down, legal troubles. the special counsel in the classified documents case has obtained a recording of trump discussing a document he kept after leaving office. trump s lawyers said they haven t found it. we will unpack what all of that
what his presidency has done, and that trajectory america needs to move forward. congressman, trump has been able to present any criticism against him as an effort by some deep state or can do you think that that s affecting his strategies as they prepared to take him on and maybe go into attack mode, or not? charles, trump is at his strongest when he s the victim. the victim of the deep state. every indictment will only strengthen trump. and here s the trip that desantis and pence and haley and all of them are in, and charles, they re all in this trump because of their own power. trump says that 2020 election was stolen. that s a bunch of bs. but nikki haley, mike pence, desantis, all of them kind of sort of have to say the same thing, or the base will turn against them. every time trump is indicted, he will say a witch hunt. well, pence and haley and scott
it. all i know is this. everything i did was right. charles, if you were trump lawyers at this point, i about continuing to publicly address these allegations and the investigations, especially now that he is running for office again in 2024? you know charles, you talked about previous conversations about trump s attorneys and what it is they are doing from the standpoint. and i think that if you signed up to represent donald trump you need to understand that you are going to spend the duration of your period representing him in a scramble sort of posture. and i think part of the reason why that is is that we have a client who refuses to accept and abide by your advice. i do not think for any stress that donald trump s attorneys told him hey, it s okay, talk to these public, do the interviews, i think he s been advised repeatedly, do not open your mouth about these pending investigations or the pending case that s going on in manhattan. do not talk about these legal
issues. avoid the conversations. but yet, they know they also have a very typical client who was sub bird, will not listen, thinks he knows better than they do, and leaves them with messes to clean up. he has no aversion to making the degree of difficulty much higher for his attorneys as compared to most normal clients. and so his attorneys have no doubt advised him, charles, stop talking about this. you are only digging yourself into a deeper hole. but he refuses, and ultimately he is going to have to play the part in a court of law. and difficult client is one way to put it. finally, i want to ask you this. the washington post reports that the investigation in fulton county, georgia, looking into election interference by the former president and his allies is now broadening to include activities in washington, d.c., and several other states. i what could this expansion tell us about where trump s legal problems are going? not in the right direction. i think we have known that for
consequential here. meanwhile, trump, desantis points out, couldn t get money to build a wall. he also shows that trump he sets a new narrative for that whole endorsement that he received from trump in 2018. trump has been going around telling people that desantis begged for that endorsement, cried to get it, said he was going to drop out of the race because he was doing so poorly unless he wasould get it. but i didn t think it was the only thing i needed. he actually had a pretty telling passage where he kind of undercuts trump s attempt to paint himself as some kind of kingmaker in the gop. he writes, and i quote, i do not think republican primary voters are sheep who simply follow an endorsement from a politician they like without individual analysis. but i do believe that a major endorsement can put a candidate on the radar of gop voters in a way that boosts a good candidate s prospects. i knew that a trump endorsement
