as where the republican contenders are campaigning today. good morning. welcome to way too early on this thursday, july 6th. i m jonathan lemire. thanks for starting your day with us. we re learning new details this morning about the search of former president donald trump s mar-a-lago golf club carried out by federal agents last year after a less redacted version of the search warrant affidavit was made public late yesterday. the newly public portions of of the document reveal that the federal agents investigating trump s connection to classified materials told the judge who signed the search warrant that they were concerned the location of some of the documents were unknown. the affidavit indicates that justice department officials became concerned after viewing security camera video from mar-a-lago that they had obtained from trump s company. the affidavit reveals the video showed a trump employee since identified as aide and former white house valet walt nauta moving
never thought i would, i m running out of things to say. having known you for 1000, years that seems hard to believe, dude. or that we will get to the bottom of that jar of peanut butter. there you go. there s nothing left. we will never tire of the things that you have to say. keep saying them. so many takes. i ll be following. thanks, chris. and thank you to you at home for joining us this hour. we start this evening with this. get caught in a hot mess? call the dawn bomb of law. that is an ad for the legal services of the new florida lawyer representing former president trump s alleged coconspirator, walt nauta in the mar-a-lago documents case. just from the layman s perspective here, yes, it sure seems like he is caught in a hot mess. today in miami, mr. nauta finally pleaded not guilty to the charges that he screamed with trump to hide color documents of trump s florida beach club, and then attempted to cover it up. for weeks now, if mr. nauta it has been delay
here it sure seems he s caught in a hot mess. today nauta finally pleaded not guilty. for weeks now mr. nauta has been delaying this arraignment claiming he s had trouble finding local florida representation. and today, well, we learn he has found that representation. now, we don t know for sure who s paying for mr. nauta s new local counsel, but the other lawyer, the non-local counsel mr. nauta has had for a while and by the way was in court today and enter a plea was attorney brand woodward. and we know the law firm is being paid by president trump s political action committee, save america. that little tidbit matters because if the past is prologue here, then the lawyers who pays for the lawyers can make a world of a difference when it comes to actually getting at the truth. i was in the vicinity of a conversation where i heard the president say something to the effect of they re not here to hurt me, takes the f-ing mags away. remember cassidy hutchinson? she was a for
my office will seek a speedy trial in this matter, consistent with the public interest and the rights of the accused. trump on trial in august? the first court date is officially set, and it is just eight weeks away. tonight, what it all means for the possibility of a trial before the election and, the motives of the trump appointed judge in charge of it. then after a five year investigation by a trump appointed prosecutor, hunter biden strikes a deal. if trump cooperated with the justice department he might have avoided the situation he is in right now. he chose not to, because he s arrogant and does not care about the law. plus, the impact of the indictment on the polls, and the inability of the republican front runner to just stop talking. you lost the 2020 election but when all in it starts right now good evening from new york, i m chris hayes. and we have an initial trial date in the trump florida documents case. just one week after donald tru
my office will seek a speedy trial in this matter, consistent with the public interest and the rights of the accused. trump on trial in august? the first court date is officially set, and it is just eight weeks away. tonight, what it all means for the possibility of a trial before the election and, the motives of the trump appointed judge in charge of it. then after a five year investigation by a trump appointed prosecutor, hunter unlikely that the august 14th start date, the one that is two months from today, will hold. it s fairly common practice for a judge to set an early start date as a sort of benchmark, only to see the trial slip further and further down the calendar. the prosecution needs time to prepare its arguments, and trump s lawyers deserve time to mount a reasonable defense of their client. the defense has not yet received, for instance, the classified evidence as part of the discovery process, something which, on its own, could had significant
