Hes cocky for a nineteen year old. Youre live in the cnn newsroom. Im jim acosta. There is a new deadline in the new back and forth of the indictment of president trump. The federal judge overseeing trumps Election Fraud case has responded to a court filing from special counsel jack smith that came in last night. Smith wants a protective order after trump posted this social media message late last night. It says, if you go after me, im coming after you. Smith wants the judge to limit trump and his legal team in terms of what they publicly discuss about the sensitive evidence in the case. And the judge has now given the trump team until 5 00 p. M. Monday to respond. Minutes ago, the judge denied a request from the Trump Lawyers to push back mondays deadline. Smith had called it an unnecessary delay. Joining us now to talk about this, jim schultz, a former Trump White House lawyer. Thanks very much for joining us. We appreciate it. Lets start with what the judge is saying. There is now a

the fans. okay, they were vagrants who live under the bridge near my apartment. but that reminds me that we should talk about fentanyl. first of all, yes, it is the reason that greg is out. i promised him i wouldn t say anything but i feel like it s fine to lie to your boss who accuses you of doing drugs every day. more importantly, i want to talk about why fentanyl is a huge problem and why the government can t be the one to solve it. lately there s been a lot of talk about classifying fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction or drug cartels as terrorist organizations or any sale of fentanyl resulting in a fatal overdose as a federal crime worthy of the death penalty. but like that lord of the rings prequel show, all of it is a bad idea. don t at me in other words, even you know it s [bleep]. it s not that i think fentanyl poisoning is not a threat and i do say poisoning because many of the people who have died from fentanyl didn t intend to tap fentanyl at all. it s not lik
investigation as the testimony, of course, of them, themselves, as well, giving evidence about the coordination of trump s plans leading up to and on the day of the riot, about who spoke to the president that day, who also was in the when things were happening and what the president may have told them. maybe communications about what exactly was happening inside of the white house over those nearly 187 minutes. well over three hours. filling in the gaps. gaps between when donald trump told his supporters to go to the capitol and when he tweeted a video to the rioters telling them that he loved them and to go home. now, we know that s the very focus of thursday s primetime hearing and we have someone tonight who knows the people who were in the white house with then-president trump during those three hours and he knows them quite well. trump s former active chief of staff nick mulvaney, he knows matthew pottinger, one of trump s deputy national security advisors scheduled to t
