Attorney for fulton county fani willis, she could still prosecute the case and do you think that she would change her strategy at all? that is absolutely right. although, the venue for the trial and the case would move from state court to federal court, which of course perhaps for the trump team brings in the advantage of opening up the perspective pool of jurors that potentially could hear the case. i think that the district attorney s office and fani willis will continue the same strategy. based on what we ve seen from the indictment and some of the testimony even today, from the secretary of state who i understand is perhaps still on the stand or wrapping up, i think she s got a good strategy. with respect to the case, i say stay tuned. it is going to be riveting to see how this all plays out. clint rocker and tom dupree. thank you. and governor chris christie will be with us. stay with us. ....
While you re also a former federal prosecutor, a former u.s. attorney. is that too soon? too far away? what do you think? i think it is a realistic date, jake, given that it is a one-defendant case. i remember talking to you at the time of the indictment and there is question about why did jack smith just indict donald trump and have six unin indicted co-conspirators and i think today is the reason why he did that. he decided to get this case moved to trial, he had to restrict it to one defendant. he indicted the person he felt was most culpable. and today i think what the judge did was two fold. one, she gave them another six months to get ready for trial. in a single defendant case. and, two, she made it quite clear to the trump legal team that the public relations games that they and their client play are not going to impact the decisions that she makes in the courtroom. and, so, i think for republican ....
I think the judge and in fact said that was really a little unrealistic to set the trial out so far from where we are today. i think she kind of has planned a flag so to speak and said, hey, we re going to move this case along. i think the government said we re going to help you streamline and prepare. we re going to identify what it is you need to focus on. and i think that that two-year window was just unreasonable. tom, when it comes to the arguments that former white house chief of staff mark meadows is raising in georgia today, as he tried to move his case from state to federal court, meadows is trying to suggest that he was acting in his capacity as white house chief of staff when he allegedly assisted trump in his attempts to overturn the election in georgia. he told the judge, quote, i dealt with the president s personal position on a number of things. it is still a part of my job to make sure that the president is safe and secure and able to ....
So, jake, prosecutors saying, look, trump team, it really isn t that tight of a timeline. we re going to be focussed on 47,000 pages of these documents. you should easily be able to search these with a key word search. you should be able to prepare in time for that trial start date in six months. so that looks like it is the start time. it could slide slightly but the judge determined to keep that march 4th date. thank you so much. from the mountains of evident to the trial set right before the election, is this just the beginning of an extremely messy 2024 calendar. our legal experts will weigh in next. and plus that search for an armed individual near the campus of university of north carolina two days after murders near a florida college campus. we ll go live to that scene. into and a powerful storm headed for florida s gulf coast. a new storm track is due out in just minutes. we ll bring that to you as well. a busy afternoon. stay with us. ....
