Finally putting foot down and saying enough. [cheers] and continues to go perfectly to the miami script. Brian all right. Were beginning here with a fox news alert. Former President Donald Trump expected to appear in a d. C. Federal court, let me check my watch. Make it later today, how about 4 00 where he is facing four new felonies claiming he made false statements about the 2020 election. Steve mr. Trump is now fighting to move the case out of washington, d. C. Where joe biden won by 95 last time around, where he says he would not have a chance at a fair trial. Ainsley 95 of them are antitrumpers. And Griff Jenkins is live outside of the d. C. Courthouse with the latest for us. Hey, griff. Griff hey, good morning, ainsley, steve and brian. Security is getting tighter here. A lot of media and
has just happened tonight for the first time ever, former president of the united states has been indicted by a federal grand jury. donald john trump charged with seven counts in the classified documents case. this is a special edition from new york. i m anderson cooper. here in washington, i m kaitlan collins. in keeping with his reality tv roots, the former president preempted any justice department announcement of the charges against him in a series of posts on his social media network. in one just a few moments ago, he wrote, quote, i have been summoned to appear at the federal courthouse in miami on tuesday at 3:00 p.m. he goes on to say he never thought it would possible that such a thing like this could happen, then drifts into boasting about how he won all the votes in the presidential election, which we know is not true. he also wrote in all caps, quote, i am an innocent man. kaitlan joining us now. our senior justice department department correspondent evan pere
