Again, that wasnt the perceived goal here. That was the perception among his supporters that think its gone too far. Lets get more from Griff Jenkins. Thats right, neil. Fox news confirmed that former President Trump is indeed in the courtroom right now. He entered at about 3 52 p. M. So just under ten minutes ago. Hes wearing a blue suit, a red to you. Flanked by his two attorneys. Fox has confirmed that we expect him to plead not guilty to the four felony charges hes facing in this indictment. Three are conspiracy charges, one is obstruction. Before he entered that courtroom, a little less than an hour ago, his motorcade entered the garage here at the federal courthouse. He was processed and fingerprinted. Theres no mug shot taken because the court says theres plenty of pictures of him to provide. Hes not arrested. But he is obviously being processed. Now we wait for this Court Proceeding to get underway at the time of our note from our producer, jay gibson inside, the Magistrate Jud
first to those remarks we just got from the police chief a short time ago we are going to play them out here. we will go ahead and get started. good morning. my name is chief bill scott with san francisco police department. at approximately 2:27 this morning san francisco police officers were dispatched to the residence of speaker nancy pelosi regarding an a priority well being check. when if officers arrived on scene, they encountered an adult male and mr. pelosi s husband, paul. our officers observed mrd pelosi and the suspect both holding a hammer. the suspect pulled the hammer away from mr. pelosi an violently assaulted him with it. our officers immediately tackled the suspect difficulties armed him took him into custody requested emergency backup and rendered medical aid. the suspect has been identified as 42-year-old david ded purrageous dyna david depeppi. this is an active investigation currently being led by the san francisco police department special investigati
And bret indirectly. the former president is in the room now. jack smith is in the room. donald trump, you know, we re told kept looking at him not kept, but was looking at him. i m wondering how you can explain this sort of stage setting here. almost comes across to me like the stare-off before a prize fight. they re staring at each other and looking at each other and weighing each other. i won t do my mr. t impression. i ll save you that. i m wondering what to make of that. what do you look for? looking at how people are sizing each other up. the president no fan of jack smith. it s clear from the remarks and the statements that we heard out of jack smith. neither her of the former president. play that kind of drama behind the scenes out. it s probably more body language than anything else. what do you think? great question.
That argument. but he has made himself kind of a minefield in terms of doing that. i would just say about this case, to a point that bret made before, for what it s worth, i had indictments where i had co conspirators or accomplice witnesses. i like to put them in the indictment. i know there s a lot of speculation know about people whose names are not in the indictment. typically when you have people cooperating with the government, you want that in the indictment. you want to describe it, you want to describe who they are. they help you in some ways make the allegations that you put in to the indictment. and that goes back to the jury when they re deliberating over the case. so that s the kind of thing that i d be surprised if he s leaning heavily on people that aren t mentioned in the indictment one way or the other. neil: john, we learned that i think martha touched on it.
Be. he believes he will fight it all. i think the bravado is real. but at moments, he thinks about the seriousness of what he s looking at. that judge is in she first ruled on the access by the january 6th committee by the white house files and the background information. in making that ruling, she said from the bench, the president is not king and he s no longer president. she s in a number of these cases about january 6th rioters, made clear her disdain obviously for that day, that moment and what it means for democracy. so in that context, i think she s not probably going to hold the reins tight in this courtroom. neil: does that mean that by that, andy, from what bret said, obviously the trump folks are going to want to push this back and punt it back as far as they possibly can. she might not abide that.
