first floor coasting predominant. that begins right now. a lower. >> a sour, and icu, this is don lemon tonight everyone. i'm laura coats sitting in for the great document. and we begin with major, i mean, really big news. a few hours ago we learned from former president trump directly, no less, of an fbi executing a search warrant at the mar-a-lago estate. his resort, of course, in florida. local sources saying the search is related to the handling of

classified documents and were documents were kept. sources are also saying that boxes of items were actually taken during the search. and that documents were seized. trump is calling this a raid. and what he described as a large group of agents saying it was, quote, unannounced. which is what normally happens with search warrants, by the way. that they broke into a safe. he wasn't there, as they carried out the search. but i want to turn right away to cnn correspondent, randi kate, who's actually at palm beach county. also here with, us cnn's chief white house correspondent, kaitlan collins. can anyone being with you here, because look, a search on the former presidents home is absolutely extraordinary. and now we know it is about the handling of classified documents. what is happening right now? what is it all about? >> it certainly is remarkable. these events are unfolding in the way to the former president saying that they are and the state but it does seem to be a pretty huge escalation of but we had already known.

which is that there was an investigation into whether or not he mishandled potentially classified documents when he left the white house. now when it comes to search warrant that was executed today, it was confirmed by trump himself in a statement who said that a large number of fbi agents were there at mar-a-lago we are told that that was about maybe clocked that more nick that they were there and that it was a search that lasted for several hours. trump said in this -- that they say, quote, even broke with my. safe i'm told that it was a safe that was in the presidents office. at mar-a-lago. it was obviously a large resort but there is a section that was reserved just for the president and his family. he has office, there gases residents there it is's primary residence since leaving the white house. when it comes to what exactly they're the investigators and if agents were actually educate -- it we were told it was tied to that investigation how it was handled. we're told it was taken with him when he left the white

house to mar-a-lago. there are concerns as to what kind of information was their kind classified information was there. there is still big questions there as they carried out that. and trump is of course criticizing it and saying that kind of assault can only take place broken third with countries. america has become of those countries crept in a way saying that even, quote, broken in my safe. laura, you'll stop some reporting that saying this is the first time trump has not seen these investigators reading the. back in early june mar-a-lago. >> so this is where there are some backstory here. because part of what trump said his statement, he talked about cooperation and he says the word cooperation his his between the government, between investigators and between his attorney, what happened to this material we are told investigators want to visit the mar-a-lago property in june. back in early june. they want to talk about this material.

now my colleague abby or has told that trump did stop by that meeting and they did greet the investigators we are told he did not, say he didn't answer a question from those investigators then the attorneys did show them with the rainy documents were being stored amar locked. they were told in a basement room where they took the investigator stare, and they looked around, then a few days later trump's attorneys got a letter from those investigators. telling them to further secure the room. and they put havoc on the door. and response that letter. now where things transpire from and that happened in early june to where we are now in early august. that still a really big question into the investigation. but it still is a big dramatic escalation that the fbi has conducted a search of the former presidents residence. it's unbelievable to think about this actually handling, randy you're actually near mar-a-lago. what did the search include? and i, know of course what caitlin is talking about is that the fact that there were still documents that were on site in mar-a-lago that could've been related to what the national archives had

already requested is mind-boggling innovate itself. what are you hearing and seeing? >> yes, exactly, it certainly is laura. we now know that the fbi did removed boxes of items from mar-a-lago today. that's coming to us from our colleagues evan perez and gabby or. according to a person familiar with the investigation, they were told that the fbi search included examining where those documents were kept. so they were very curious about where they were. separate source telling gabby or that document were ceased. that really is the headline here tonight. the national archives, as you mentioned, previously had alleged that classified information and documents had been removed from the white house and brought here to florida, to mar-a-lago. which the president calls home. the fbi also had to verify that nothing was up behind according to a person familiar with this investigation. so, of course, the key finding here tonight is that boxes of items were removed. and documents were seized according to a source and a

person familiar with the investigation, laura? >> and of, course as a former president he would have the secret service onsite or in his nearby presence. i, mean the fbi is their secret service would've been there at some point in time. or at least on the premise of some sort or fashion. did they coordinate in some way? >> yes i mean they had to have from what we understand from our correspondent, he spoke with someone from the investigation and was able to learn that the secret service and the fbi did coordinate. the fbi had been in contact with the secret service to make sure that they had access before the search warrant was executed. this, our kevin liptak would allow for access without complications. laura, there's apparently just a small footprint of secret service at mar-a-lago when the former president isn't there. he was not there today so that is what our kevin liptak learn. >> and caitlin speaking about the former president and this is really i mean i hope america really sees how stunning this moment really is.

you've got an fbi executing a search warrant on the home of a former president in a very distant path. i mean the immediate predecessor of the incumbent president. so, did you hear from the white house in anyway, caitlin, that the white house know about the search? >> we are told that the white house was unaware that basically they found out when everyone else found. out which was at about 7 pm eastern tonight when trump confirmed in a statement that the search warrant had been executed on his primary resident. we were told that it even includes president biden himself wasn't aware of it. that is what dana bash is being told by a senior administration official. so not just other officials inside of the white house but even including president biden himself unaware of this. so, that is remarkable doj we should know is not commenting right now on this we have reached out to them and we're still trying to learn more information on what was behind the search warrant. but they're not commenting. and randy was right, trump was not there at mar-a-lago. he is not often there in the summer. he usually spent his time in

new jersey and new york,, and he was actually at trump tower we should note since word broke that the search warrant had been executed and the search was conducted champ had since left trump tower. it is notable to, say he was not actually there when this happened. we are told some of his attorneys were at the property when the search was carried out. >> thank you ladies. really important reporting. welcome back to his. well and i want to bring in cnn contributor john dean, the former nixon white house counsel. along with stewart, the former fbi special agent. gentlemen let's just talk about this. john, a search on a former presidents home? this is really a first. i gotta know, what went through your mind in particular when you heard about this? >> my first reaction was, there had to be something that caused him to not give some sort of -- a just don't like this to get a subpoena. they had to have had some difficult negotiations.

they have to -- they probably have ended. we know that trump has a tendency to huff and puff. if something broke down and the government decided we have to take action, they're missing documents or destroyed documents, or whatever, and they made a case to a judge who would then willingly issued this search warrant. as you know, laura, you just don't do that by rubberstamp -ing them. we want to hear the case, with potential crime has been violated. why they believe the evidence is there. which they believe the search warrant is going to produce. this was not a spur of the moment thing. clearly, as you discussed earlier, the secret service was alerted to the fact that they were coming to clear the road, and they proceeded to be there just a few hours, i understand. >> stuart, this is astonishing. the idea that they broke into his safety, says, i want to be clear. when you hear that phrase, he

broke into the safe, it makes me think the american public might misconstrue this for something that was not lawfully executed. this was a lawfully executed search warrant. the idea of entering the safe would have followed along with whatever warrant they were seeking to actually get from the judge, but from your impression, i mean working with the fbi in particular, look, can you imagine a judge having a barebones cursory knowledge of whatever they wanted and saying, just go ahead and do what you would like here. it would have had to dot every i, across every t, because there would have been the perception that this was a fishing expedition. what is your thought? >> there is no doubt. this went to the highest level, to make sure as you said, the eyes were dotted, the teams were crossed. i think the biggest concern that the fbi had was really the marshaling, policing of these classified documents. the fact that donald trump, the former president had a safe at mar-a-lago had no consequence to the respective protocols and

procedures that would be required under normal circumstances for a person to be in possession of classified documents, and i think the fact that they came with a safe cracker, that's of no consequence. i went to hundreds of search warrants where we bring a locksmith with the safe cracker for obvious reasons. we want to bear out those fruits that may be on site and so that should not be overlooked and i think the biggest take away from my perspective is the information that was utilized in support of this search warrant had to have been more recent than not. i think this is a perfect example of attorneys just not having proper client control. not being able to convince donald trump that his best interest, should have been more cooperative if in fact he was in possession of classified material. he should've just turned it over sooner than later, but unfortunately this may end up being a devastated blow for the former president. >> on that point, i want to be

clear. the idea of bringing a safe cracker. opening it up. if you have a warrant that offers the judge and explains the probable cause you need. you will find some specific information related to a crime that you believe has taken place, and that this is where you're going to find it, it wouldn't be unheard of to include a safe among that. it wouldn't be a separate warrant to say i want to go in the house, but i want to go in the safe as well. that might be the area where documents are kept, correct? >> that is perfect statement, because the takeaway is not there were people within his inner circle that we're where this safe that potentially housed classified information. let's be clear. this safe certainly would not have been the appropriate safe and we have risen to the level of safeguarding classified information, so the fact that they went and cracked open the save was something that was necessary. >> of course no safe would be an appropriate venue, or when that was housed by the actual federal government, and the

former president had everything because of the presidential records act. we know earlier this year, aids at mar-a-lago were interviewed by the fbi over the handling of presidential records. what concerns do you have in terms of what else could be implicated in all this? >> of course, once they go in and execute that subpoena, i have the right to look around. they may have found documents that they were not anticipating or information they weren't anticipating. laura, i've got to put this in the context. my reaction was, this is very typical of the national archives, and there treatment of presidential records, but in particular of classified records. i know a former nixon staffer who cooperated in a book

project where he had a small trove of classified documents. when that book was published just recently, the next thing he knew, the fbi was at his door wanting those documents. those were not even under the presidential records act, which was adopted after he had acquired the documents, but he willingly turned them over. they were not messing around. they were going after the records they wanted and particularly, the classified records. >> i don't get the sense -- the store you just told, the idea of you're not going in to get snow globes. the idea of having momentous that might be around, this feels larger than the idea of trying to reclaim, if you're sort of a hoarder or if you are a pack rat, this seems like an issue related to either classified documents, something of the ilk that the fbi would get a warrant with the judge. stuart, when it sure search like this happens, there were a lot of fbi agents, walk me through how this happens? what are they looking for and

they know the documents and materials, or are they saying, i know the general thing i might find? i want papers? i want presidential seals? i want whatever might look like that is data during the term of his presidency? what are they looking for and at? >> there is no doubt that the affidavit that was utilized and prepared and supported the search warrant has what is called, enough find, that is a specific person knowledge of fruits of potential criminal activity that has been sworn to and attested to that i have seen or i have been shown certain documents, or i am aware of a certain location within mar-a-lago, that is the content or the container, or the safe that contains these classified documents. what was born out here is not obviously, beyond the presidents reach, there are other individuals that certainly would not have had the topsecret clearance to include, as you said, other employees on premises, or even to suggest other secret service who would not necessarily be in

a position to have a top secret clearance to be in possession of classified information. that is a breach of someone who does not have the need to know, and the fact that this person, donald trump is no longer the sitting president. he no longer has a need to know, and therefore is no longer within his lawful right to possess those documents and most importantly, the retention aspect of those documents is of paramount concern to the fbi. if we look at this affidavit, and by the way, you are viewers should know, if in fact this does not turn out to rise to the level of criminal charges being set forth, this affidavit may remain under seal. we may never even know what was alleged within this affidavit. either way, we might have that

same result. gentlemen, there's so much more to find. out we don't know everything, yet but we do know one thing. if you have a lawfully executed search warrant, whatever you find in the course of that discovery can be used against you and in any and in america. much more ahead tonight on this developing story. the fbi executing a search warrant of the former president donald trump's mar-a-lago property in florida. this is huge. we will be right back.

happening tonight. fbi agents searching former presidents mar-a-lago estate and resort. sources saying it's really that the handling classified documents and boxes were removed from the property, and that documents were actually seized. cnn chief local correspondent dana bash and elliott williams, a former federal prosecutor joins me. i keep having to take a step back. and fbi, more than one multiple agents, executed a search warrant on a former presidents home and the most immediate predecessor of our current president, in fact, and trump put out a pretty long statement trying to get ahead of this in my initial reactions, first of, well how is there that delay? this happened 8:00 this morning. pocket there have been this lag about people even knowing? >> i mean, maybe that's a question i can put back to both you and elliott since you have been in a position that i haven't, which is you have been

on the prosecution side, where you are building a case and you send out or you apply for a warrant from a judge. it is possible, aside from the fact that it's mar-a-lago. it's a lot of people, but it's possible that if the former president did not put out the statement, which i'll talk about and one second, that maybe we would not have known, because the doj, the fbi, they don't do this unless they want to make a statement and in this case it was donald trump wanted to make a statement. you mentioned this lengthy press release that he put up. it's not just that he put it out. it's the words he used. things glut raid and occupied and weaponized. i mean i don't know if he actually said deep state, but he might have well -- he might as well have.

he knew exactly what he was doing. he was trying to get ahead of it, but also to make this as potent a political issue for him. in the short term as possible. i cannot tell you how many republicans i'm hearing from saying, legal jeopardy aside, which if in fact this does not develop into an indictment, and even a conviction, his political future with regard to the republican primary, if he does run, he has just ramped it up so many notches. as the person who's probably most worried politically right now, is ron desantis who is rising and the republican poles. >> because your impression is that this would be used as a

talking point to say another example of why they're coming after me. elliott, on that point, it's a great point, dana. on that great point, this could be very much used as that political talking point as a way of saying there after me again. but i don't get the impression that you make the sort of action, elliott, willy-nilly. in a way philly doing today on a monday after cpac, no less we've talked about other issues, let's just go ahead and raid mar-a-lago. all swirl that ends well. >> there's a couple reasons, laura, as you know, in order to get a search warrant you have to establish number one, probable cause that a crime was committed in the first place, and number two, that you as law enforcement believe that there is evidence of that crime. it doesn't have to be a crime committed on those presidents, but they may not even be on the president. it could be somebody else, but you believe a crime was committed. you've got to convince the judge of that through affidavits and testimony. it is not something that happens overnight. this is a long process. weeks, if not months of preparations to get a search warrant like this.

number two and more importantly, i saw this a lot firsthand when i was deputy assistant to the attorney general. the justice department does not receive with our investigate action against an elected official without making its way through at least the deputy journey general, if not the attorney general himself or herself and ahead of the fbi. they would have been briefed on this extensively going on. it's not rogue agents who decided, like you said, to wake up one morning and start knocking down doors. it has to go with much planning. >> dana, there's no way that merrick garland has been briefed along with the media. that is just not happening. but you make a great point when you talk about the language being used. these aren't dog whistles. calling it a rate? it was a search. i mean, the idea of an execution of a warrant, he was cooperating. this was unnecessary. talking about this akin to a third world country. these statements have sort of been in the works for many months, if not years.

in terms of the talking points, right? >> yes, and our reporting is that the former president, his lawyers and federal investigators have been going back and forth for months and months. even to the point where they went to mar-a-lago and they met with lawyers donald trump stopped by that meeting. this is something that has been dragging out. he, donald trump, has been resistant to give over whatever the contents of these apparent 15 boxes of presidential records that he took from the white house back to mar-a-lago. the national archives have said this is not yours. it is ours. the federal governments, because of the presidential records act. he has dragged it out. we don't know the reason for that, but what we do know is that right now, tonight, what he is doing is using this as a huge, he believes, as a huge political weapon in his short term political strategy.

it is not? when you look ahead to 2024, and short term political strategy, is getting his mojo up with the republican base, some of whom have been going really, do we want to do this again? and maybe looking to people like ron desantis, the governor of florida or other potential republican candidates in 2024. those are the conversations that are happening, and on other right-wing media right now, and another cable network, there is a child of the former president who was beating the drum that i just described, and taking the statement that we just talked about. the donald trump statement. and amplifying the idea, like how can you do this?

there is a very -- whether or not there's ultimately ends up in an indictment or conviction, in the short term, the former president thinks this is a big -- it's hard to wrap your mind around it in some ways, shapes and forms, but has a political win within the realm of the gop. >> elliott, dana, thank you. my big question is always, not how could you do this, because of course, we know logistically how it can be done? i want to know, why did you do it? why did the affidavits say? why did you tell that judge? why did the judge say, yes, go in. that's what i'm waiting to hear more about. you could spin it anywhere you want. i just want the dragnet. just the facts, ma'am. thank you for being here. i will talk to you later, both of you. thank you so very much. it turns out that trump's top general thought trump was doing irreparable harm to the country. my next guest got their letter

of resignation that the general road. that was never sent. i will show you that letter after this.

today the fbi executing a search warrant at the former president trump's mar-a-lago resort. trump confirmed it himself tonight. that's how we know about it. he is claiming this is a witch hunt, but in order to get a search warrant like this, a prosecutor has to establish probable cause that a crime was committed. and i suspect an even higher standard, considering the former president of united states of america. joining me now is the co-author of the upcoming book, the divider. susan, i'm so glad you are here tonight. what a night. it's big stories happening right now as we speak. what is your reaction to the fbi executing a search warrant at mar-a-lago? >> it certainly is a

breathtaking development. as you pointed out, donald trump will find a way and already has found a way, not only to put out a statement about it, but to weaponize it on wet he clearly sees as his own political behalf. there is no action by a prosecutor against donald trump that is not a witch hunt, whether it was the russia witch hunt or somehow the january six attacks. this is a witch hunt to. the rhetoric completely consistent with what we've seen from donald trump before. but this is a level of seriousness that indicates that something is closing in on him, i guess. >> it is inconsistent is that we have not seen this before from the doj. we've not seen the doj pursue this of the former president, really of any president at this point in time. it is a really, really huge development. but if the material in question, susan, were like momentous or i don't know, snowglobes, pens,

is my immediate thought. do you think we haven't seen this as an overreaction? it's gotta be more than that, right? >> there was that very -- a statement about the even went into my safe, suggesting that he had something of value of safe but laura, i went twice to mar-a-lago to interview trump with his book along with peter baker, my coauthor and has been, and the second time we went to trump's private office in mar-a-lago, there were a lot of momentous and things from his time and office and still who knows wet was stuffed in their, but i was struck by the fact that he chose to hang a portrait of himself, a picture of himself and kim jong-un looking very, very chummy with each other on a wall. imagine that that is the thing you take away from your tenure at the white house. there were lots of other things that seemed like they had come straight from washington.

>> speaking of things that were a part of what was written or done during his time in washington, i want to turn to your report from that new book you just mentioned. it's stunning new details. the chairman of the joint chiefs mark milley, -- he excoriated is trump in this unreleased resignation letter dated june 8th 2020. that's a week after he was seen walking with trumped through lafayette square by the white house after protesters -- were cleared out. and just before the photo op, the when you are seeing right now. i want to read part of it, because it's astounding. he writes, quote, the events of the last couple weeks had caused me to do deep soul searching. i can no longer faithfully support and execute your orders as chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. it is my belief that you are

doing great and irreparable harm to my country. i believe you have made a concerted effort overtime to politicize the united states military. now, he never handed it in. he thought it was better to stay and fight from within. is it clear, susan, just how much really saw trump as a national security threat? >> absolutely. i think the language of that letter, when we first obtained it in the course of reporting for this book, it was really stunning. even though you had a sense already at milley and other senior pentagon officials throughout trump's tenure had been concerned about him. this just brings it to a much more visceral -- when you have the nation's top uniformed officer saying the president of the united states is a threat to the international order. the president of the united states is doing great and irreparable harm. he does not believe in some of the fundamental pillars of our system. he said essentially, you believe in many of the things

that we fought against in world war ii. of course, i was thinking of that. there's another part of the book from years earlier, a counter that trump had with the former white house chief of staff. and what demented to kelly, a former marine general, how come you generals, meaning american generals, can't be like the german generals in world war ii? and he leaves the day perfectly up to hitler, which is what trump perfectly wanted. and again, striking comments. there is a through line. here trump sought to weaponize the justice department system to protect him, and he seems outraged now by the actions of the fbi. trump sought to weaponize the u.s. military to be part of his political campaign. part of his political persona as the president. >> this is stunning to hear.

your book details all of this. it's also the new yorker. is there room to criticize these members of the military as well for being there and not resigning? it would have been public, reasons why. had the joint chief of staff had actually said and had the letter published in some, way that would have been quite informative in june of 2020. would it not have been? when we think about the adult in the room conversation. we've always heard of that, or fighting from within. i understand that philosophy in part, but wouldn't publicizing this if she felt that strongly had perhaps been a more prudent course for the direction of the country? >> you know, i think you put your finger on that dilemma. obviously, there is no one right answer. what's interesting is i did a lot of reporting. it's not just a dilemma of the chairman himself, but he spoke with a number of sources that i was able to interview for the book.

people like the former defense secretary and head of the cia, people like a spurts on civil military relations, and they had a very different take and as civilians. they said, look, we don't have a tradition of resignation and protest with the uniformed military. bob gates said to milley very clearly, make them fiery you. do not resign, because that way, at least, everyone will know that you are trying to stand up and do the right thing. he also counseled milley to keep basically all of the joint chiefs on board with him so that trump would understand that if he crossed their red lines he would be forced to have all of the joint chiefs quit on him and not just one person. don't make it about one person. and of course, remember that the uniformed military, they are not political appointees. they are required to follow lawful orders to the commander-in-chief, and so in a way, you might risk politicizing the military so this argument goes, if you were to resign just because you

disagreed with things. it's a complicated issue and i don't pretend to know it is right or wrong, but with a terrible dilemma. when the president of the united states is in this kind of rogue actor in the system. you see an almost horrible dilemma and choices that are forced upon others in the system as a result of someone like trump. >> so well said and fascinating to hear that perspective as a light from the perspective of those within the military, people often talk about potus, but it really is the commander in chief as well. thank you, susan. >> thank you, laura. >> we will keep bringing you more information on the feds search of mar-a-lago as we get it here and we will keep bringing it back up to new information keeps coming out and throughout the entire night. we will be right back.

so how often we cover the

stories of murder. stories that capture national headlines and captivate an entire nation. that serve as a catalyst and also a painful reminder. those that sparked outrage but also change. stories like the death of ahmaud arbery, a young man chased and murdered while jogging. the father and son acting like vigilantes in a small georgia town. they were helped by their neighbor william bryan. these three men were sentenced for their federal -- hate crime convictions. michael was sentenced to life in prison. brian, 35 years. all three men are already serving life sentences for their convictions and state court. one must wonder if the story is really over. it might never will be over for a family who lost their son forever. imagine for ahmaud's family.

when it must feel like, the infuriating focus on people who took that life rather than the person whose name is now on the wrong side of the hashtag. there's a demand for remorse, maybe not an expectation that there will be, and the wonder of whether there will ever be an apology. and of course, what do you do with that if one should ever come? today offered a glimpse into what an apology might feel like to the arbery family. at the sentencing, gregory mcmichael's apologize to ahmaud arbery's mother. here's how she responded. >> the apology was, i considered it. being the person that i am, i think he realized he made horrible decisions back in february. unfortunately, his apology does not bring back my son, but i do accept the apology. >> wow.

the cameras will one day turn off from this again, and the headlines won't necessarily shift. it will be painful in its own right. but we have a choice and how to follow this story. but the bigger choice will always be where we will go, and we must go as a nation from here. next, a big story tonight includes donald trump's home in florida searched by the fbi. authorities seizing boxes, accessing a safe and his office and spending hours inside. stay with us. your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. contestants ready? go! only pay for what you need. jingle: liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. in three seconds, pam will decide... i'm moving closer to the grandkids! wait. i got to sell the house! don't wait, just sell directly to opendoor.

easy as pie. piece of cake. whichever. when life's doors open, we'll handle the house.
