So at some point she s going have to give a very solemn assessment of this, and it ll probably come sooner. as you said and suggested this is working against his interest and in fact he wants to delay this as long as possible. just another sort of legal note, barb, i mean to your point this evidence will be sort of digested in a way that is not like reading war and peace. there s also the man power concern, right? it s not just one lawyer going to be tasked with doing that, presumably. but we talked about this last night, trump does have a weirdly skeletal legal crew assisting him in all this. i think tom blanche has a law firm with two lawyers. the question is when will trump spend money to hire more lawyers? that seems like a necessity at
What has happened. they don t necessarily want to have this complicated by having revisiting the conditions of donald trump being released from custody. it s such an interesting conundrum for a normal person. we know he s totally he s not nothing gives him pause. i mean what we call witness tampering he calls just doing business. i mean how do his lawyers bake in sort of how he rolls with the defense they re going to try to mount, glenn? well, i think there s sort of a threshold question here. who are those lawyers going to be? again, one of the most consequential moments of that arraignment was when christopher kise and tom blanche, the two people representing him in court, said they intended to be permanent counsel. that kind of came as news to all of us because in the prior 48 hours we ve been hearing all these rumors about trump appealing to other florida based

And what do you make of this? it doesn t make sense, yasmin. you ve got riley, and you ve got jim trusty. who have been leading the charge in the defense, they basically they ve been interacting with the federal government and investigators. literally, within 24, hours when the announcement of an indictment is imminent, they resign. now, you and i both know there could be things going on behind the scenes. we know tim, just a few weeks ago, it resigned because he was not getting along with epstein who was the, quote in-house counsel for donald. trump let s see what tom blanched can. do the problem with tom blanche, number, one he has a deal with donald trump. number two, he s not a national security attorney. there s big challenges for top blanche, among the two i just listed, yasmin, the worst thing for todd blanche is dealing with donald trump. katie phang, thank, you good to talk to you. the former president is set to deliver his public remarks, his first public remarks since
