eileen canon say they couldn t continue their investigation, but she also cast a lot of doubt that their existence at mar-a-lago may have imperilled national security. so at this point doj lawyers, they re likely parsing through the issues they actually want to appeal and could appeal really at any moment, any day, any hour before the 11th circuit here, anderson. there s also new reporting about what the former president s team told the national archives about what he had in his puseg. she s learned the then deputy white house council, he told the archives in september 2021 that trump s then-chief of staff, mark meadows, assured him that the boxes remaining at mar-a-lago only contained newspaper clippings, nothing classified. and he also said he d been told no documents had been destroyed. so this conversation, it came as part of what was an extensive back and forth between trump s team and the archives. remember they were trying to get
those boxes of presidential records back. of course we know eventually they did get 15 boxes back in january. what we ve learned from the unsealed affidavit it was a lot more than newspaper clippings. it notably contained highly sensitive information that included human source information that could put those sources in danger if it s revealed. really, anderson, this is another piece of information about how there was this very extensive back and forth between trump s team and the archives. and, you know, trump and his team perhaps not being completely forthright when it comes to what remained at mar-a-lago. and then one last thing, anderson, i want to mention that we have learned tonight. that when it comes to the special master case and moving forward with that, there will be a hearing in brooklyn at 2:00 p.m. on tuesday, and that s because the special master here really has to come up with a plan in the next ten days because the clock is ticking. he has to review 11,000 documents an
woo have rules, but we need better ones. this administration, the biden administration is trying to develop those rules. that s leadership. the biden administration, by the way, needs republican partners to help develop those rules and improve them and strengthen them and make them as effective as possible. that is leadership. what we ve seen from the governor of florida and the governor of texas is not leadership. it s showmanship. and sadly, anderson, we get a whole lot more of that in politics today than americans deserve. what actual solution have they offered? none. everybody can see that. it s just another kind of chance to poke somebody else in the eye and poke each other in the rear. so i don t know what it is we decided to turn office offices over to bullies, but that is apparently what we ve done in parts of the country. these governors, they ve all made statements to the effect their states are overburdened with people crossing their
