Factor in this case, it just seems that they are skipping that step for other reasons. all right. let s go to kaitlan collins now. kaitlan, we have some new video from doral, the property where donald trump was staying last night and also you have some new information about who was riding in the motorcade with him. there is the video from doral from just minutes ago. kaitlan, i m not sure who was there. i saw jason miller, his former for his current campaign aide. who else is riding with him? reporter: yeah, jake, you saw someone getting out once they had actually arrived here at the courthouse. these are people who we don t believe will go into the room with him, we think that s just the attorneys, but you did see a lot of the political staff that is with the former president today. steven chung his spokesperson who has been handling a lot of inquiries for the many investigations that the former president is facing was there. chris loss vita running his ....
Other person in this country accused of the same conduct would be exactly where donald trump is today and in some ways as i m watching this video, it is actually a sign of how our system is working. he is going in there with the dignity that is afforded to a former president. he has a full motorcade, full protection, all of his supporters are allowed to be outside to say their peace, to protest, to wave their flags. this is america. this is a former president being treated with actually quite a lot of dignity, better than the average defendant, but charged only as much as a regular person would be charged under these circumstances. we have to wait to see how this turns out. obviously he has not been convicted, he is innocent until proven guilty, but for those on the political side who keep saying that this is a banana republic, this is not what banana republics look like. okay? when banana republics are ....

And has gotten better about keeping people close to him and loyal. walt nauta has been under pressure by the justice department to flip in this investigation. he was threatened multiple times that he could face charges. obviously now he is. he will continue to be under pressure to make a decision about whether he is willing to risk this at a trial, potentially face jail time, or if he wants to cooperate with the justice department. i will note right now the torm is not directly paying for his attorney, but walt s attorney is funded by a trump-aligned political organization. if he does not cooperate or if he does cooperate with prosecutors, he would likely lose that representation. as you might imagine it is extremely expensive to go up against the justice department, particularly a special counsel. so walt nauta is arguably one of the most important parts of trump s legal strategy right now, keeping him loyal and cooperating against him at an eventual trial. is mr. nauta in the court ....
At all bear out this notion that jack smith is partisan or democratic leaning. he s first of all a long-time federal prosecutor, not a political appointee but someone who served in high-level positions under administrations of republicans and democrats al alike. part of jack smith s career, and this is the moments that you are talking b jake, he was in charge of the public integrity section in d.c. of what we call main justice meaning doj headquarters. candidly his record is not great there. the three biggest cases that jack smith was even involved in or oversaw, he was a supervisor, all were ultimately failures. there s the two cases against prominent democrats that you mentioned, the john edwards case, which is actually in some respects similar to the other charge against donald trump because it had to do with payment of hush money. the jury rejected that case and then doj dismissed what was left of it. jack smith was involved in the early phases of a prosecution of senator democra ....
