voluntarily turned over 15 boxes to the national archives and records administration in january. sandra: the with question now, though, what prompted yesterday s raid on his home? fox news team covering now as we kick off a brand-new hour. phil keating has more on former president trump s reaction to all of this. peter doocy, the response from the white house. mike: griff jenkins is following a grand jury probe into the former president s handling of classified documents. sandra: david spunt is live at the justice department. this is not related to january 6th, that investigation? david: hi, sandra, not directly related to january 6th. this is related to the former president allegedly taking sensitive documents after he left the white house. it s important to point out, january 6th happened a couple weeks before president trump left office on january 20, 2021. what we do know, fox news is told by a source that inside mar-a-lago fbi agents looked in offices, safes and
supporters worst impulses. it s flailing around about the classified documents he stole as a judge prepares to make a decision on trump s request for a special master to decide if he can get the stolen property back or decide what happens to it next. we begin with the battle for the soul of the nation. topic of tonight s primetime speech by president biden. he ll deliver that speech in about an hour in front of independence hall in philadelphia one week after calling his predecessor s vision for america semifascist. biden will make the case that the fate of america s democracy is at stake. here s some of what he plans to say, that maga forces are determined to take this country backwards, backwards to an america where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love. for a long time we ve reassured ourselves that american democracy is guaranteed but it is not. we have to defend it. protect it. stand up for it. each
former lawyers. they re going to apparently be in the grand jury. i m going to commend the department of justice. i think it s really important in a public corruption investigation to lock people in the grand jury because you know what, when they get to trial they have a way of saying, i don t really remember that anymore. having a written transcript of exactly what they said, really useful. yeah. in terms of substance, joy, they have so many pieces. one, they have information about mar-a-lago and because, remember, these two lawyers were the ones who were designated by former president trump to deal with the archives and be his representatives. so they re going to have information about that. on the january 6th material, remember, they were in critical meetings dealing with trump s plan to change the leadership of the department of justice so they could put in a flunky to say there s a fraud investigation when there wasn t one. they were in meetings where there was an issue of hav
attorney-client privilege, so they will presumably set that aside. so if they are on a fishing expedition for january 6th, that would be a serious problem. if the motivation here was to collect evidence off january 6th, it would itself be worthy of oversight investigation. this is the same department that mislead judges in the russian collusion as to those searches. and it would be quite breathtaking if they knowingly used a pretext in order to look for january 6th material. i m not assuming that to be the case. i m assuming that this is what was represented, that they were trying to find classified material. but there s a lot about this raid that should be addressed by the attorney general. he doesn t have to reveal the details of the investigation, and i do think the trump family should be able to release a copy of this parent. it would tell us a great deal.
fifth so you can play that tape of him playing that tape over and over again of him saying, why do you take the fifth unless you re guilty? i think only the mob takes the fifth. i am really impatient, as a lot of people are. i have to hope some of the legal experts i ve had on my show is it could be that mark meadow ss a target that he has not been indicted yet. i hope it s like jaws and there s a lot going on underneath the water that we don t know about yet going on at the doj. it seems like there s two systems of justice, one for the rich and powerful, one for the rest of us. i was going to say something in defense of merrick garland and the department of justice. he s taking a lot of incoming on twitter and other places. we don t know what they re doing. and they want yeah. the january 6th material, which hasn t been turned over to them yet because the january 6th committee has not completed its
