Vice president Kamala Harris of asserts the theory behind new Education Standards in florida. Specifically about teaching that some enslaved people actually benefited from their bondage. She says that replacing black history with lies. We will unpack the settling unsettling response from desantis. I am symone sanderstownsend, i know you missed me and i have something to say. History moves fast, just 109 days, ago a u. S. President current or former had never been indicted. Now, we may see it happen for a third time to the same person. Former president donald trump. And that has unprecedented implications for the 2024 president ial election. On sunday, the former president received a matter from national jacks mitt. Informing trump that he is the target of the federal investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Nbc news reports that the letter mentioned three statutes related to the defamation of rights. Conspiracy to defraud the United States, and tampering with a witness. This doesnt mean a potential indictment would include or be limited to those three statutes. Remember, right now we only know what we can confirm. But this certainly isnt a letter you want to receive former Special Counsel for the recurrent of justice. He especially if you are still facing trial for another indictment from the same Special Counsel. Yes, folks, im talking with the classified documents case. Its all donald trump charged with 37 offenses Important New Development on friday, judge Aileen Cannon Set A Trial Date For May 20 of next year. That is later than the mid december date prosecutorial comport, but also finals far short of the Something Else to know about that may 20 start date, the country will likely know or be knowing the name of the republicans nominee for president. And in addition to the classified documents and i, turned her Target Letter on the 2020 Election Interference, trump is also facing charges for Hush Money Payments in manhattan, and a decision on charges in the Election Interference case in georgia could come next month. That matt, remembers got a graphic on the screen, yall. It would be a moment for his rivals, maybe, trying to mc him as a front runner. To criticize him . Instead, without saying specific charges or the evidence or just looking at any of the facts that we know to be true it now. Some of trumps competitors for the republican nomination are actually rushing to this defense, again. I am not convinced that the President Acting on that advice of current glorious that came into the white house its criminal. I still believe that the doj is in fact weaponizing the tools of our country against their political implements. I think it was shown how he was on the white house and didnt do anything while things were going. I should have come out more forcefully. My favorite one of those is that the lawyers do it. So, those are the folks who are vying for the 2024 republican nomination. A congressional republicans, they are also racing to defend trump. House speaker Kevin Mccarthy said that trump should not be held responsible for the events of january 6th. Its a far cry from what he said just days after the capitol attack. Take a listen. I dont see how he could be found criminally responsible, what criminally activity did he do . He told people to be peaceful. The president bears responsibility for wednesdays attack on congress by rioters. He should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding. Except his share of responsibility, quell the brewing unrest. What is more, there is a growing push among House Republicans to rewrite history in order to sanitize Donald Trumps legacy. They actually want to take the unprecedented step to expunge both of Donald Trumps impeachments. Another desperate effort to ruin every any attempt at accountability for mansours rhetoric endangered many of their very lives. Joining me now to discuss, all of this and more, democratic congresswoman Sheila Mccormack of florida. Welcome to you, congresswoman, good to see you. Around half a dozen swing state republicans, including the congressman that represents the good old district in nebraska are opposing the effort to expunge impeachments, many of them are noting how ridiculous it is, because trump was acquitted by the senate in both cases. So there is actually nothing to expunge. What is your reaction . Well i think that it is clear that the Republican Party is still very much downed by a maga extremists. To see some of the republican Conference Cowering down to the president , the former president , and trying to expunge, and its ridiculous. Everyone has to be held accountable in the court of law. And i really think that this indictment, which is coming, on these three charges for these three statues, it really is going to be the final blow to his candidacy. You know, if donald trump is in fact indicted by jack smith in relation to the 2020 election, how are House Democrats planning to offset republican efforts to undermine the Special Counsels work . There is a track record here, you know, republicans in congress, they have all particularly in the house already demonstrated that their willingness to do just that . Well, i think its gonna be a reckoning where they have to deal with the facts that came out, we already saw several facts that came out after the january 6th Committee Led by benny thompson, which is an Excellent Community that really shows us the facts. And as we get closer to the election, we are gonna have to grapple with the truth, versus what they are trying to make. Up which is very similar to what we see going on in florida right now. But as we get closer towards the primary, i think most republicans will look inside of themselves, or i hope they do, and actually admits that we have to start preserving our democracy, and not ladies kind of atrocities of slide. Especially when we talk about interfering with elections, especially when we are talking about trying to ensure that the president ial election was not ratified. I think that that is the lastditch, and i think republicans when it comes close to what they will actually start stepping back. You know, congresswoman, for a lot of people, january 6th seems like it was so long ago. But it is not. The insurrection the attack on our capitol was, it is very very recent history. And, there are some House Republicans who are currently serving that were actively supporting the former president s efforts to overturn the election. To your knowledge, have your republican colleagues expressed maybe some private concerns about what specifics could be laid out in the potential indictment . And frankly, whether their names might come up . Well there are many people that are concerned about, especially due to the Republican Party, and the reputation of the Republican Party, to be quite frank with, you a lot of it or vying for the president ial position, they are concerned also. And i think people have real concerns about this because the facts are the facts. And more information is coming out about the relation to it. And although it may seem like it was so far away, right now when we are looking at the interference of justice, the difference of elections, these are very hard things to get away from, this is very hard for you to convince people who believe in democracy and love our great country because of their free and fair elections, to say, hey, this didnt, happen he should be able to slide by. I think for some politicians are now in here to say i dont want to be the person to condemn him. If they are trying to roll themselves back because he is the frontrunner. But when push comes to shove and we get to that deadline where we have, there has to be a nominee, i think they are gonna start feeling themselves back. And you are gonna see more of people who are running trying to absorb his base. So i think right now they are just playing, nice but many people are concerned about the terms will take. Lets discuss the latest development on education in your state of florida. The Board Of Education recently approved a Social Studies Curriculum that will teach, quote, how slaves developed skills which in some instances could be applied for their personal benefit. Now, you joined the Vice President in jacksonville, yesterday, to speak out against any curriculum that sanitizes the brutality of the slave trade and even some self as being beneficial. Here is some of what Vice President harris had to say. How is it that anyone could suggest that in the midst of these atrocities, that there was any benefit to being subjected to this level of dehumanization [applause] in the midst of these atrocities that there was some benefit . [applause] now here is Governor Ron Desantis on his recent reaction, or his comments. Explaining the curriculum. Well you should talk to them about, it i, mean i didnt, do it i wasnt involved in it. But i think what they are doing, i think that they are probably going to show some of the folks that eventually parlayed, you know, being a blacksmith into doing things later in life. Congresswoman, its easy to just boil this down to political titfortat if you will. But you joined other members of floridas congressional delegation in sending a letter to education officials, urging them to reverse that decision. Because this is serious. This is about education of children in florida. And frankly across the country. Do you expect a productive response from the board . Well, i dont expect a protective response. But we are gonna do everything we can to fight this. There is no way we are sitting back and allowing this to happen. This is completely crazy, in no other space in this world do we ever hear anybody talking about crimes against humanity. And trying to rationalize and find the good side. Of it if you look at the history of slavery, they had systematic practices of rape, torture, murder, even using children as in the state of florida. The state of florida has committed the most atrocities when it comes to slavery to african americans. The state of florida saying, hey, lets not talk about these things and look at the bright side. That there was some benefit, totally ignoring that the africans that they kidnap from africa, which they traffic to the United States, had skills and societies and african before they came here. No other place where we see. That person who suffered Domestic Violence will not least the year learned how to suffer through trial and adversity. Its ridiculous. Its egregious. We need to a step against it. It is a great, just florida congresswoman sheila cherfilusmccormick, thank you very much for your time today. Thank you so much for having me. All signs are pointing to another federal indictment against former President Trump, but are we so sure . And if so, one could drop . And how could it impact other investigations . What is really going on, well my legal panel brings it all down, next. But first, our colleague Jessica Layton is. Here and she has a look at the days other top stories. Jessica, what is going on out . There thanks, simon. Busy weekend today. We are starting with even more extreme heat around the. Well temperatures increases expected to resume hundred 13 degrees as wildfires burn out of control for a sixth day.

The ox Oscar Winning actor saying quote, to hell and back, in his first statement since being hospitalized in april within unspecified medical emergency.

But what exactly does that mean . That means including at the letter is foreshadowing a third indictment. Thats not guaranteed. Mentions three federal statutes related to the deprivation of rights, Conspiracy To Defraud the United States, and tampering with a witness. That doesnt mean a potential indictment will include or be limited to those three statutes. And now, we learned that trump has hired a new lawyer, john lauro, who says that hell take the unprecedented step of asking for cameras in the Federal Courthouse. To join me now to help sort through all of these new details, former federal prosecutor glenn kirschner, and Atlanta Journal correspondent tea mitchell. All right, glenn, can you just explain exactly what a Target Letter is, why do federal prosecutors and what it means for possible third trump indictments. All very succinctly, so my grandmother can understand. Sure simone. So, prosecutors sometimes will send the target of a grand jury investigation, a Target Letter. But often we wont. When we have a large scale investigations that are overt, in other words, Everybody Knows that jack smith has been investigating donald trump, right . So theres no secret here. So what they will do is theyll send a letter to the target of the investigation, a target is a person they are intending to indict, and they will invite them to come before the grand jury, and if they want to give their side of the story, if they want to explain to the grand jury under oath why the prosecutors have it all wrong, they really didnt commit any crimes, they didnt do anything wrong, the target has that opportunity. People may ask, well why not subpoena the target . Because, a subpoena is a Compulsion Order and a target is a Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate himself. So they simply invite him and they put him on notice that the next step is that we are likely to indict. Very sink, glenn. I knew youd have the information. All right, so that is the other jacks mitt investigation, but then theres the trumps classified documents case. Tea now has a trial date, its set for may of 2024, and that is toward the end of the primary season. Its about five months before the general election, if you will. Before folks start going to the polls and finally casting their ballots in november. So far Donald Trumps indictments, they havent shaken the support of his base, but do you think that this trial will be a liability for the former president . What are your sources telling you . Well, i think that the trial, number one, well just kind of be logistically difficult for the former president , because hes going to have to Cross Campaign to be in court on certain dates. So hes going to have to manage the actual schedule of the trial in concert with his campaign schedule. But as far as its effect on the campaign, if it tries with everything that weve seen thus far, this trial may only just increase his support, further solidify him as not just the front running candidate, but quite frankly, could help earn him the nomination to be the republican nominee in 2024. I think its important for folks at no to know that there will already be something thats called a presumptive nominee. Were going to likely know what the delegate numbers are giving, i eat who the republican nominee will be. It just might not be finalized. In this documents case, Donald Trumps new lawyer, he recently added a new lawyer to the team, he is now requesting cameras and at the Federal Courtroom. He is saying that all americans, they need to see whats happening, all americans need to be able to see whats happening. You are
