Week but theres no question overall two big things stuck out to me. First of all this week was an extraordinarily reminder of just how much legal trouble the legal president is in. Its really something to have all eyes glued on the courthouse in washington, d. C. Watching what jack smith is going to do, waiting for an indictment in the investigation and his attempt to overturn the 2020 election, only to have a new separate Superseding Indictment Draft in the investigation into his mishandling of classified documents. All happening within the span of hours. You really cant make this stuff up sometimes. And put 1 figure on this mountain of legal trouble, just last night the Washington Post came out with a new piece detailing the more than 40 million trumps Political Group is spent on legal costs to defend not just trump, but his advisers and others in the first half of this year alone. The first half of this year alone, at 40 million from Trump Supporters all across the country footing l
under anesthesia without his deputy being under aware. also tonight on the 2024 campaign trail, nikki haley now a single digits of donald trump in the first primary state. the question is, does this make a case for narrowing the gop field? we will ask our political experts. i m kaitlan collins and this is the source. with just six days to go before the first vote in the 2024 primary race, donald trump was in a courtroom in washington today, hoping to evade charges for attempting to overturn that last election. but the three federal appeals court judges before whom seemed deeply skeptical about the absolute immunity from prosecution for anything that he did while in office. this case is not only only make or break for donald trump, it could also impact future presidents determining on how they rule. the public can listen in on these remarkable arguments being made, which included moments like this one with a strike in hypothetical. could a president order seal team six
To change the rules so they can confirm President Trumps nominee for the Supreme Court. Also today one week before turkey votes on whether to give president erdogan greater powers, we have a report from his hometown. They call it the weekend white house. Well take a look through the keyhole of tthe president ial retreat, mar a lago. Hello, i am katty kay in washington, Christian Fraser is in london. It is day 77 of the Trump Presidency and a defining moment for this new administration. A short time ago, donald trump left a very rainy washington to fly down to his mar a lago resort in florida for his first meeting with chinese counterpart xijinping. Mr trump is already warning that it will be a very difficult meeting. The leaders will dine together this evening before formal talks begin on friday. President trump wants a better deal for America On Trade and more cooperation from beijing on north korea. But after candidate trump was so harsh on china, what kind of concessions can he get
i could hear pretty well, except for maybe judge anderson. whose voice was a little soft. but i mean, it was absolutely it was one of those moments i m writing a piece in the atlantic that should be out tomorrow. you know, it was like ten minutes into the argument, one judge just completely demolished trump s lawyer. and you knew right then, you didn t have to hear anything else. the lawyer for the special counsel office just could have stood up there and talk for five minutes with nonsense and set down and he s still would have known that he won. i mean, the rest of the event was kind of anti climactic. after those exchanges that you just played. the other argument was that essentially, i believe it was judge pan, that the question of how this goes with what we have heard from trump s attorney. a different group of attorneys albeit in his impeachment. the actual impeachment that happened on capitol hill. i know that was a long time ago.
actually expect the mar-a-lago case to be the hottest one and i think the reason i say that is because it is the most direct line to trump in terms of being able to a display consciousness of guilt as well as actions to put that together. because of the timeline and because of the investigative reporting that we have seen. at the same time simone, i think a lot of people have not prepare themselves for an ending to the story that could ultimately be anti climactic. even if he has prosecuted, even if he is convicted, i think that we have a very wide range of feelings as to what punishment looks like for this person? if we don t get our sort of pound of flesh, are we going to feel satisfied? what would feel like accountability was actually something that carried the day? is that going to be justice? i don t know that to be the case. even if we see a former president actually indicted and convicted which could very well happen under jack smith swatch. i hope you can see my face charles,
