than four separate criminal probes. there s the history making indictment in the daniel s case in new york, where trump reportedly faces 30, plus counts related to business fraud . in washington, a special counsel was appointed by the justice department to oversee a criminal investigation into whether trump tried to interfere with the results of the 2020 election and whether he incited the january 6th attack. we re going to walk down to the capital. there s the justice department s mar-a-lago investigation into whether trump illegally mishandled classified documents when he brought them to his florida estate after leaving the white house cnn now reporting federal prosecutors have obtained new evidence in the obstruction probe. in that case, evidence like texts, emails and photographs and in georgia fulton county d a funny willis is overseeing a special grand jury looking into whether trump and his allies tried to overturn joe biden s 2020 election victory in georgia.
white men without a college degree. and even among that group in this poll, 43% of them. approve of the indictment, so i m not suggesting anyway, that he s running out of steam, but i do think there s there is room here for the facts to play out and perhaps something with trump s support to shift as you know, dana. we re expecting to hear from trump after his arraignment in a primetime address will be back down in florida at mar-a-lago. what s the former president s goal for that speech? to keep that public support on his side among the people who who support him, not just in and around this indictment, but most importantly for him again. politically speaking for his presidential run in this primary process, and so the challenge, of course, is going to be the rub between the politics and his political goals . and the legal, um, situation
that he s in. we ve already seen the things that he has said not in a primetime address, but even on his social media network, get making lawyer hers and his team uncomfortable, like going after the judge, for example, so it s going to be tricky, even though he s going to very much have his political hat on his lawyers, no doubt are going to be holding their breath. and david axelrod, what do you think? i agree with dan. i think that s a terrible position to be in a lawyer watching donald trump at a rally because bad things can happen there. so it ll be interesting to watch what he does tomorrow night. and how closely he sticks to a script. guys thank you very , very much just ahead. new york s hush money case is one of many criminal probes plugging the former president will have more on the complicated web of criminal investigations now underway. that s next. we got pregnant with our dauaughter, ad it was then that we kind of realized that we needed a
about the raw politics of him as a candidate for president again in 2024 in the in the short term , he wants to win and needs to win the republican nomination even to get there and he believes, and i have not talked to really any republican, either strategist or member of congress or potential candidate potential rival to him, who disagrees with the notion that this is helpful to him in the republican primary process because he plays the victim, he says, i m going to fight for you. he says that the democrats are coming after me all the things that we ve heard. but the poll bears out the challenge for not just him. but for the republicans when they think about winning the white house if he is the nominee in in 2024, that is, we already saw that he appeals to you know the base and maybe then some, but this shows that people who are beyond the base and even some republicans um, are turned off by what we re seeing here.
you re right. you know david axelrod. trump s team has seized on the indictment to rile up his supporters and fundraise more than $7 million since last thursday. will this energy have staying power as the former president s legal troubles continued amount? that remains to be seen. listen wolf. my view is that, uh, trump? you know, dana was talking about the ultimate goal of getting elected president, i think as much as as getting elected president trump s motivation and running was to use the campaign as a shield and his supporters as a sword he wants to. he wanted to set up a situation where if he was indicted that he would be that he could portray it as a political prosecution, and he s doing that pretty successfully. we ll see if he can continue to do do it when these indictments if the if these indictments pile up but you know, this is one of the things that keeps the republican mirror the dilemma for the republicans, as trump has a 73% approval rating here
