Wherever teller supporters that the government has given him a fair shake. he always wants to cast to them that he s the victim, that there is something to be very upset about. that the fbi or the powerful people in america are out to get him, and he s on the side of them. so even if they bend over backwards to assure them that the investigation is fair, i m not sure whether donald trump would other really embrace that, or whether he will keep finding new ways to say that he was the victim. he is pretty good at moving those goalposts. luke broadwater, thank you so much, i m really glad you join us tonight. for you at home, do not go anywhere, our breaking coverage on the latest doj filing continues at the top of the hour, we are going through all 36 of those pages, don t go anywhere. t g anywhere
That the justice department took this opportunity to lay out as much as the case that they could, from their side legally, without exposing any sources or any mashed bids, because a lot of what we ve been hearing is just from the trump side. we ve been hearing, they asked us to put a lock on the door, and we were cooperating. you see very clearly, the sort of language in this filing that says, this calls into question the extent of their cooperation, the evidence that we ve discovered here in the search, that they actually weren t cooperating. if they weren t turning over these very clearly marked classified documents to us. so what is, it three weeks now since the mar-a-lago search? if the doj has made it clear tonight, luke, they ve already reviewed and reorganized
Those documents because he wanted to read them. during his four years as president, it was reported over and over. i myself spoke to senior white house officials who said over and over, trump doesn t read. he didn t read. they would have to find headlines that were positive about him, i like them with yellow highlighter in just showing those lines. he doesn t read documents. so the why the question is why northwood he had? the chuckling and let you take a break. i know you want to dig into these documents further, begin to stay with us in the back at the 12 am hour causes more to come. want to bring in luke broadwater in, pull with pulitzer prize reporter for the new york times. we have given you the time to speak. what s your take away. few things jumped out of me right away. it does seem to underscore just how worried doj was about obstruction of justice. there s some very clear language in this filing about
Home. that some records were actually torn up chuck, and we do need to remind our audience where these documents were. they were in trump s club. this isn t just his private home. this is a country club. this is a place, i ve gone to weddings to. strangers go in and out of this place on a regular basis. here we are on the screen right now. the image we are looking at is the photo that the department of justice released showing the documents. you can see what they are. given how clear this is, what will that say to america if the judge says yes, despite you doing all of your work clearly and reviewing all this, we re still gonna need that special master? does that not undermine the department of justice and the respect we have for them? i think it can be argued stephanie, i think you re right, it would undermine the confidence in the department of justice. remember, again the department of justice told the federal judge who authorized the search
In pennsylvania, people who wanted to target fbi agents. so i hope what the president said resonates, and i hope people come back to their senses. all right then, chuck rosenberg, jeff mason, luke broadwater, i m gonna thank you all and say goodbye for now. please don t go far. do some jumping jacks and pushups, have another cup of coffee, because we re still awaiting the justice department s response to trump s master request. the deadline is midnight, we could get it any moment, and when we do will bring it to you, and these gentlemen will be back to break it down. but next, what president biden is not focusing on this today, and what it means for democrats heading into the midterms. and later, my one-on-one interview with the democratic nominee for governor in maryland. why west more says he views his republican opponent as a threat. a threat to our country, and our democracy. the 11th hour, just getting underway on a really important tuesday.
