we re already looking at this material, and we have got a process in place to protect it. reporter: in a new court filing, doj says it has identified a limit set of materials that could contain attorney/client privilege information. the progress report coming after former president donald trump s team asked a judge for a special master, to oversee the evidence uncovered in the search. we have a lot of problems accepting everything in face value that s coming out of doj these days. it s a very politicized place, i m sad to say, and there s still a need for a judge to get involved on every aspect of this. reporter: this as the fallout continues over how trump handled classified documents after leaving documents. this guy we now know 184 classified documents, 25 of them top secret. and by the way, countries that want to do us harm want to see these documents. reporter: avril haines tell congress officials are conducting a damage assessment, including an assessment of t
overturn the election results. that man is donald trump s top white house lawyer pat cipollone. he sat down for a transcribed interview under oath with investigators this morning. as far as we can tell, that interview or that meeting is ongoing at this hour. punch bowl news reports this about the parameters of today s testimony from cipollone, quote, sources tell us that the select committee does not have an agreement about what investigators can or cannot ask him. prior to hutchinson s testimony the panel had discussed an arrangement with cipollone for an on the record interview, but cipollone backed away from it, sources tell us. cipollone is expected to claim executive privilege over conversations he had with trump, but there is plenty that the committee is interested in outside of that category. for example, we expect cipollone will be asked about conversations with former white house chief of staff mark meadows. the possibility that cipollone could provide gamechanging i
just seems like and this is really the entire four years, but this episode, people basically ignored lawyers and ignored white house counsel, number one. number two, why did they do it? i m sure most thought they would get pardoned and the morning of january 20th they were aren t pardoned and i m sure some of them thought they might be successful because the more we learn about this, we know that this was not a ram shackle effort. this was highly coordinated and highly resourced and led by the most powerful person on the planet. my guess is, and i m glad to see the committee. this can t go on forever, and the american people have shown great interest in what happened. i think you are try starting to hear donald trump, and thooed hearings are making him look

the debate is, quote, repugnant and cowardly. the nra offered this explanation to nbc s andrea mitchell. children of presidents have been off limits for decades. there has been an understanding that we don t talk particularly about the minor children of presidents. but nobody was talking about his children. the video very explicitly nobody was doing that. david keene has a tough job. wayne lapierre and goes out there and does what he does, and david keene has basically cleanup operations. it s the toughest job in washington right now because they keep they keep making mistakes. two points. if the white house does what norah says, i think it s a big mistake. this is to allow to vote for background checks, i think the white house would make a big mistake if thooed allow this to be broken into bits. this is a moment to go big.
