stashed at his retirement home in mar-a-lago. a federal appeals court, just before we went to air, just ruled in favor of the justice department. the justice department can have access to roughly 100 highly sensitive classified documents that were taken from mar-a-lago. immediately we saw the appeals court issue this ruling. i was stunned to see it come out so quickly. it s worth taking a step back and recognizing just how extraordinary this moment, this day is. it was almost easy to forget that trump had never actually been indicted. never been sued, you know, by the state entity or anything like that, but today, things look different. that is where we pick things up this morning, on top of the legal setbacks from donald trump comes news from the january 6th committee that the wife of supreme court justice, ginni thomas has agreed to meet with the committee about her efforts to overturn the 2020 election. good morning, welcome to morning joe, it s thursday, joe and m
