according to the washington post, but when it s time for the general election is the trump stamp of approval a maga scarlet letter. apparently some republicans think so. and now even the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell is warning republicans may not retake the senate. let s discuss this with former republican congresswoman barbara comstock and former adviser for president, david gergen. congressman, what do you think about this? i know you used to serve in a sort of a swing district there in the northern virginia suburbs, kind of near where i grew up there in fairfax county. what do you think? it seems like a lot of these candidates are treating donald trump like beetlejuice try not to say his name too many times. what do you think? how should they handle this? well, certainly in the districts that make the majority, the swing and the purple districts, donald trump is an albatross, so you already have the situation in these purple states where, you know, as mitch m
tonight on why he s been calling for all court papers to be made public but not doing so in the place that it matters most, the courtroom. clarissa ward is in afghanistan and her harrowing return to a place deeply affected by the war and what she found when she got there one year after american troops departed. we begin with the search at mar-a-lago and the fight against unce unsealing documents. jessica, walk us through what the judge ordered today. anderson, the judge telling doj to go back to the drawing board and find a way to release some of this information from the affidavit. the judge is telling prosecutors two things. propose redactions but also better explain why they need to keep large sections of this secret. so the judge has set a deadline. he wants their recommendations next thursday at noon. after that point the judge says he might have additional confidential discussions with doj before he makes that final decision about what to release. parts of it are li
do those specific words create specific legal jeopardy for donald trump? i m john berman with brianna keilar, and judge bruce reinhart released several procedural court documents used to justify the search of mar-a-lago, providing new details and maybe a sharper focus on the president himself as a potential subject of a criminal probe. this is the document that was released and there is specific information in here about willful retention. in other words, they say he knew he had documents and he knew what they were. so this is all part of the argument over whether to release the affidavit justifying the search of mar-a-lago, prosecutors made the case for secrecy because they say evidence might be destroyed, but the judge set in motion the possibility of releasing a redacted version of the affidavit and that process will kick into gear as soon as next week. and ludicrous, ridiculous, bs, those words and phrases coming from some former trump senior officials who are scoffing
