Again, that wasnt the perceived goal here. That was the perception among his supporters that think its gone too far. Lets get more from Griff Jenkins. Thats right, neil. Fox news confirmed that former President Trump is indeed in the courtroom right now. He entered at about 3 52 p. M. So just under ten minutes ago. Hes wearing a blue suit, a red to you. Flanked by his two attorneys. Fox has confirmed that we expect him to plead not guilty to the four felony charges hes facing in this indictment. Three are conspiracy charges, one is obstruction. Before he entered that courtroom, a little less than an hour ago, his motorcade entered the garage here at the federal courthouse. He was processed and fingerprinted. Theres no mug shot taken because the court says theres plenty of pictures of him to provide. Hes not arrested. But he is obviously being processed. Now we wait for this Court Proceeding to get underway at the time of our note from our producer, jay gibson inside, the Magistrate Jud
John yoo. martha, we talked about the enormity of this. i wouldn t say blase about it. first alvin bragg indictment. this is the third time, probably not the charm for the former president. could be a fourth time here. he knows the drill. i think we as the viewing public know the drill. yeah, i m not sure that any one gets use to the part that he just wendt through, which is the standing up and having to magistrate in this case read through the charges against him and the time he would have to serve if he were found guilty on any of these counts. the first one is conspiracy to defraud the u.s., which is interfering with a proceeding. fine up to $250,000 or both. it goes on from there. in some of these cases, the
You had 11 people who said you don t even have probable cause here. you don t want to go forward on reasonable doubt standard. but it doesn t take away their prosecutorial discretion here, even if they were to go forward an indictment, which it looks like they might well do so you have a long way until trial, and there s every moment in time between that moment and then decide whether or not the case should go forward whether you have the evidence to go to batteries hold out. and of course, this is not a case. i think that donald trump would likely plead guilty to sort of go. let s just streamline the process against that s not. but why is it so clear to you that that likely will happen? you said. it s unlikely that bragg would not bring an indictment to the grand jury. why to bring our viewers up to speed who may not be following every twist and turn basically at the end of the road here, alvin bragg has put in all the witnesses that he wants to call that s been the reporting and an i
If they run polls, you re gonna have a big crowd in waco. it s going to be like, you know, the glory days of 2016. people are gonna be there. now how long has that stated that stay through the second indictment. the third indictment fourth indictment. that s the question, right? that s the question. if there are if they do cover if everybody s trying to figure out the politics of it. i do think it s important to point out that you know people are kind of beating up on alvin, if you re the prosecutor. and lawmakers in your state came up with a law. it says. we don t want politicians behaving in a bad way. we don t want him doing lying, cheating and stealing. we don t want a bunch of jorge santos is running the whole state and that laws on the books and somebody violates that law. he s not supposed to care if it s good for democrats, politically or bad or if it s good for republicans are supposed to look at the law. and i think you gotta it s weird to me that everybody now wants prosecut
Investigation of the four that he is facing. that s for criminal investigations, one in georgia to justice department investigations that have sort of merged into one and this one. this is the one they are. they say they are the least worried about the reality is that i m not sure how much his political advisors actually have their hands around what this looks like. i think what the legal team says matters more here. but if this is where it stays, one adviser said to me earlier today. they feel like they can live with this politically if it starts to become another indictment and then another indictment. that s a lot of freight, and i think they re not really sure how that plays out. republicans are twisting themselves and knots over how to respond. they have been at this retreat in orlando. they put out this letter from these three chairman demanding testimony from alvin bragg. we were talking to one of the house republicans earlier today, and i ve spoken to several on the phone today
