The first debate in just two weeks. Then the calendar thereafter littered with debates and caucuses, primaries and convention. Does that mean that trump should not be tried before the election . No. The cases should proceed as they would were the candidate not a president ial candidate. They should not be postponed because of the election, in which he has chosen to run. But nor should they be expedited. I have noted here before that theres a long and Noble Tra Jigs at doj of not wanting to act in a way that might be perceived as political. Five recent attorneys general, republicans ask democrats, have all signed the same memo affirm lg the importance of keeping politics out of criminal charges. A republican in 2008, eric holder in 2012 and Loretta Lynch in 2016, bill barr in 2020 and mek garland just last year, they have all used the same language, include ing this paragr quote, simply put, politics must play no role in the decisions the federal investigators or prosecutors regarding a
li on the difference in 24 hours. susan? a new reality that inflation is higher and may stay elevated for some time. today s wholesale prices are the inflation that producers pay still much higher than a year ago. sure, coming down from the previous month. couple that with yesterday s consumer price jump and we re close to the 40-year highs and that s more than four times the way the federal reserves thinks is healthy for the economy. close to a third predicting a full 1 percentage point rate hike from the central bank. that could be the biggest central increase since 1984 when paul volcker was fed chair. before yesterday s report, that probability was at zero. elon musk weighing in. he thinks the federal reserve should cut interest rates because of the drop in lumber, cop per and oil. nobody is expecting a cut in rates until next year. stock market didn t recover much from yesterday s sell off. you have more job cuts by big technology companies. that s why some are calling
evidence that he was even asked, the trump was even asked, to give his documents back. he was cooperating with him on this issue for months now. so i take it to the extreme extent? i think that s why you re seeing so much backlash from republicans, and seeing everyone coalesce. it doesn t matter what side of the issue they are on with trump. i have seen a lot coalesce around this. because it does seem unjust. this all comes as the new nbc eufaula today says a 57% of americans believe the investigations into trump should continue. at this breaking news this hour, republican senator lindsey graham s granulators to money on election interference. that is now in question. a federal appeals court, today, in fact just a short while ago, temporarily blocked testifying in georgia. setting the case now back to the district court ought to determine if that subpoena should be partially quashed or modified. no reaction today from the january six committee, days after mike pence says th
as a potential subject of this criminal probe. this is one of the documents right here. and there is specific language in here about willful retention of documents. in other words, they say, he knew he had them and knew what they were. this is all part of the argument over whether it will release the affidavit justifying the search of mar-a-lago. prosecutors made the case for secrecy because they say evidence may be destroyed. but the judge did set in motion the possibility of releasing a redacted version of the affidavit, a process that could get into gear next week. and ludicrous, ridiculous, bs, those words coming from several former trump officials who are scoffing at the former president and his allies arguments that he had a standing order to declassify documents he took from the white house. cnn reached out to 18 officials and all of them told us they never heard any such thing. we ll have more on that in a moment. first, let s bring in katelyn polantz with more on
lone at large congressional seat. congresswoman liz cheney, vice chair of the january 6th committee was, well, and isolated, as we expected. she lost by a resounding 37 points, 28.9%, to 68.3, wyoming voters overwhelmingly rebuked cheney, who stood up to donald trump after his insurrection, voting to impeach him and then helping to lead the committee investigating his actions. now liz cheney has earned a lot of praise, especially liberal circles, for taking a stand against trump and his attempt to end america s constitutional republic. fellow january 6th committee member, congressman jamie raskin, has spoken incredibly fondly about her, recently telling the new republic that she has acted with great honesty confront the lies of the trump machinery. raskin also said about his unlikely friend, quote, juul funneled donald trump to the gates of hell, if she needs to make sure that justice is done and the truth is known. and there is no doubt liz cheney has made genuine career pol
