8:00 pm
situation? how will investigators get to the bottom of this? >> they got a lot of work ahead of them. clearly there are a number of things that the new york times are reporting. some are indicated there some concern between the first to get cctv coverage that there is something that occurred in later days that made them think that there might be relevant information. the immediate concern that i would have is, of course, were people taking things in or out. where they either tried to hide them or move them somewhere else? again, that is in the context of a much broader counter intelligence concern of just who had access. i mean, clearly the former president trump did. but any number of other people potentially including those mike the foreign intelligence services. mike also have. that is something investigators need to look at. so, there are lot of questions, there's an investigator, and this new information makes me think that there is a lot more investigation ahead. and all of it is really concerning. >> i've been, you wrote the story tonight about a new doj subpoena. what is the latest? >> that is right dog, jamie
8:01 pm
gangel and i were told that there was a second subpoena that was a grand jury subpoenaed that will serve to the national archive to produce additional documents, you remember, that the archives responded to a subpoena from the justice department. back in may. to provide all of the documents that they had provided to the january six committee. it appears that tomlin and the team that are looking at things beyond the riders. they're looking at the effort to achieve the transfer of power and the role of the former president from his allies. it looks like they have decided that there is additional material that the january six committee perhaps did not know about. and did not ask about. that they are interested in as part of their investigation. it tells us that there is more that they know about. >> kim, doesn't tell you anything that the doj is going back to the national archives for more documents about january 6th and does this mean trouble for the former president or who else could it mean trouble for?
8:02 pm
>> well, have always thought this was going to be a 12 punch. that is the january six committee warms up the american public to the idea that a former president could be in serious criminal trouble. it was unthinkable. not that far long ago. and now, we are seeing doj follow-up with criminal process. which is really different. of course, don, we might see the january six committee sort of evaporate in november if republicans take over the house of representatives. so there is an expiration date on. that but there is not an expiration date on the criminal justice system. so i do think merrick garland has said that he is methodical. there is a prosecutor in this way. over 100 lower level offenses. and now we're seeing them climb the ladder. up to the very top. and i think as i said. january six committee has laid out a good case for criminal and potential criminal
8:03 pm
liability on the have donald trump. on the behalf that's just general. six as they said this florida story is very serious. at the new york times indicated that there might be some questions as to whether the government even has all the documents. that were taken. i love the white house. also implicate donald trump look through the boxes. so this is gonna go anytime soon. i think you could be one of the biggest stories around the presidential misuse of power and history of america, frankly. >> watch the way on this because this happened this morning. but i just i thought it was very important. that not enough people are talk about a big enough for maybe i'm reading too much into it. the judge who summed up on this affidavit. and the search for mar-a-lago. he saying he also notes investigators as symbols of the fact. so far, supporting the need for evidence gathering are reliable. having carefully reviewed the affidavit before signing a warrant i was and i'm satisfied
8:04 pm
that the facts sworn by the officiate are reliable. i thought that was pretty important, no? >> yeah. i actually don't that jumped out of me when i read it as well. that was a direct response to the misinformation that is swirling out there. the speculation that somehow there wasn't a fourth amendment basis for the search, he was saying listen, i'm on the job, i'm a federal judge i am the watchdog on this and it. does it does satisfy the legal standards. he also made a point of talking about concerns regarding the threats of violence against fbi agents and those public servants that were involved in getting to the bottom of what's looks like some serious violations of law and probably criminal violations relating to taking a serious record out of the coffers of the united states government. >> what do you make of that, peter? >> i think it's gonna be
8:05 pm
interesting. trump while, towards attorneys filed this recent filing claiming that they wanted a special master to go through the material that the fbi had ceased. i think it is that. the filing, having read it, it seems like a tremendous public relations campaign. much more than it is a serious legal document. so i would expect, i don't see a lot of merit in it, legally. i think that the judge when we get to later this week is going to support doj's request. to essentially blackout and redact, almost the entirety. so i would not look forward to any new revelations coming out in court on thursday. as far as trump's two filing i think it is nonsense. it is designed to get out in front of his supporters, to rally the base, there isn't a lot of legal merit to it. and i don't expect it to go very far at all. >> evan, you've been going through this filing. what stands out to you? >> i think, to pick up on when you guys have been talking about. i think a lot of it is a bit of a pr strategy. look, this is something that the former president could have done two weeks ago.
8:06 pm
shortly after the fbi arrived at mar-a-lago. his lawyers could gone in and said this. even last, week when there is a court hearing. his lawyers were in court and they could've stood up and said something. they could've been hurt. and they did not. you know, when you see in this in this court filing, already just a part of it. where he uses the court filing to essentially air his grievances, and he says, quote. politics cannot be allowed to impact the administration of justice. of course, this is not something that is a big accusation of the trump era justice department. was that it was influenced by politics, don. >> politics cannot be allowed to impact the administration of justice. were you trying to say something kim? sorry, i looked at my notes. >> i started with a few brand-new law students. week it's something really basic about the law. when you file a motion it is because you want some kind of relief. you want something to happen to help your case.
8:07 pm
asking for federal -- is not asking to have the affidavit release. he's not asking for. that he cites a criminal rule that could allow in order getting his property back. he doesn't have first property back. because it is not as property. he talks about suppressing evidence, but he hasn't been indicted. there's no criminal process, there's no trial. so if he gets one he's asking for. special master. that's basically another set of judicial eyes looking over this process. nothing could actually come of it to change the stage that is set for donald trump. and so, from a legal perspective, it is really meaningless. and i agree that it is about changing the narrative. shifting the discussion. to make it look like there is actually another side to the story. so far we don't see one other than some serious serious problems. misusing and abusing classified information by former president. >> trump is also sending a
8:08 pm
message to the attorney general, merrick garland, in his lawsuit. evan, what is that about? >> that was astonishing. to see the former president and his legal team acknowledge something that had been reported that shortly after the fbi search i member of his team reached out to the justice department to send a message to the attorney general saying, quote, president trump wants the attorney general to know that he has been hearing from people all over the country about the rate. the heat is building up. the pressure is building up. whatever i can do to take the heat down, to bring the pressure down, just let us know. don, that reads a little bit like, you know, nice investigation. it'll be a shame if something happened to it. that is kind of the tone of that message, you know. and look, just the fact that it is up just a little bit. we are talking about the mar-a-lago search because it wasn't important. it is a big thing that just
8:09 pm
happened. but keep in mind, the january six investigation, the criminal investigation is going on, palm with them in the u.s. attorney's office here in washington. there is a grand jury that is focused on that. that thing is probably more perilous to the former president and there's a lot of effort to distract from that. by using this legal process here. >> you know peter, this lawsuit is full of grievances like this. the fbi and the doj demonstrate a willingness to treat president trump differently than any other. citizen the former president goes on to mention, you, by name. what do you have to say that? >> you know don, it is a tired story, i thought at this point in 2022 i would no longer be at the point where i am living in the presidents head rent free. and the demons come at night. there i am. it is a little surreal. it is obviously nonsense. the things that were demonstrated by the fbi's investigation, by special counsel robert mueller, were
8:10 pm
unequivocally illegal acts. which led to any number of prosecutions. and so, for him to say that there's any sort of political motivation behind this is absolute nonsense. in, fact i left. and evans was pointing out that the early or one of the four sentences is just issued not be political. you know the very next sentence is? i am the leading candidate for the republican party of the president. so on one hand, it should be political, but let me really need to make it political. because i'm with a shot around how great. i'm gonna be the next candidate. so it is all, the end of the, day this is not. since it disappoints me to see my name and their. unfortunately, it doesn't surprise me. and, again, i think at the end of the day the reason it is there is because he perceives some value to rally his base. it has no relevance to what the court is ultimately gonna find. in the, and i suspect this is going to be quickly dismissed and have no real impact with the doj is doing that in mar-a-lago. >> it is to distract from the real issue of his potential
8:11 pm
wrongdoing? >> can listen, could this wrongdoing from trump have -- because, the deadline for the doj is that has to be kept secret. >> yeah so special master i think it's to go over the return of the documents they had. but who's actually in there that i thought was not good for trump. that is that he suggests he needs to have more information about the people that engage in this to see if any fbi agents worked on the mueller report. if i was a judge reading that this would make the hero manic standup. this is the threats, these build threats to public servants. that's not going to help donald trump. so the special master little bit separate from the affidavit. i think we are going to see the judge say we're gonna have a redacted -- he wants to see with the justice department gives him. and i think it is going to be a lot of black sharpie, don.
8:12 pm
it is gabby pages and pages of black sharpie. that some people would say the show that there's a lot of information they gave, rice as you indicated. the judge's decision. this was reliable. and then the trump side is going to say that the trump side is going to say. and we just need to keep our focus on what really matters here. which is the rule of law. the safety and security of american people. >> can you tell me about this new traumatic details tonight that you're hearing about this encounter between the senate majority leader, chuck schumer, and the proud boys on january 6th. what is that? >> yeah, this kimono filing today. and the remarkable thing about this is that we are learning new details even still. 18 months sense the attack on the capitol. and according to the justice department. you have cops who are trying to rescue an proulx -- and put the leaders of the senate and congress to safety. take them to safety. one of the cops actually made
8:13 pm
island tax with one of the members who is charged their. you can see the video. they come within feet, really, and it kind of falls on some earlier revelations of how close members of these attackers came to the vice president, then vice president. again, they came within yards of him. as he was being moved to a safe location. it really is chilling that these new videos are encouraging and showing you just how close they came to disaster. >> so just looking at here, the general six committee is going to restart in september. and they have been interviewing witnesses. when you think we are going to see? >> i think we're going to see is an attempt to take all of the different threat that they laid out. whether was the violence on the ground, but that was the fake electoral slates. weather was the operations within the department of justice to open the vote. and they want to tie those altogether and bring them back
8:14 pm
to. trump and i want to see more about the department defense and department of homeland security. some of the folks that were possibly involved and responded to the case of the national guard. and whether there is any activity between that and the marine activity at the white house. i hope we do get a little bit more visibility into senior members of the gunman agency and the trump administration. but i think they're going to try and take, that rapid, up and of course they've been doing some-less cheney made a comment that the floodgates have opened. so i anticipate they have been doing more interviews. and i anticipate they have been getting much more content formation. i think they will sit down and do what they have been doing in my opinion a very good job. that is pulling out, really compelling narratives, really compelling interviews and firsthand information, then laying that out for the american people. and seeing exactly what is going on a january 6th. peter, can, even. thank you all. i appreciated. >> a car bomb kills a daughter of vladimir putin ally.

, is this an assessment of your assessment in the situation. well i think that this is one of the box kind of situations. and i think the possibility exists that even if the ukrainians had absolutely nothing to do with this assassination of their geena that the possibility exists that the russians will even get an excuse to actually do something militarily against ukraine. what exactly that would be, it's hard to assess. but we have ukrainian independence day coming up on the 24th which conveniently
8:21 pm
coincides with the six month anniversary of this war, the start of this war. and it is basically an area that is right for this kind of a situation to give development to go out of control. you can't forget also that we have that nuclear power plant down in zaporizhzhia, which could also hurt as a place from which to launch some kind of an attack or some kind of an effort against ukrainian forces. >> it's amazing, it has been six months. where we are to secure that again, it just brings us back to reality. what does it say to you susan that russia's security services announcing that they, apparently, saw this whole case in just 24 hours complete with a name and video of the person that they claim as responsible for darted death? >> well, i think, don, when you look at so many unsolved killings that there have been opponents of the putin regime that have been mysteriously
8:22 pm
knocked out for years without the espy ever finding who did it. and this is really striking. and elements to the store of, course they seem to be ripped right out of a spy novel. not only do they claim that a woman and her 12 year old daughter were involved in surveilling in a mini cooper, fleeing to estonia which often figures a very detailed way, a sort of enemy number one in official propaganda of the russian government. it feels wrapped up in a pretty neat bow and presented as a full package of camera ready propaganda for russians. you know, it's impossible to tell of course if there is any rhapsody or not to the report. but it is certainly striking as he pointed it out. what is happening right now on the ground in the war in ukraine. the war that russia launched. not only are there distractions in the fact from the campaign
8:23 pm
of tourism that's the only word for it, that russia has carried out against the ukrainian people. right now, there's the threat of new color terrorism by holding hostage in the zaporizhzhia nuclear plant. that is just one of many horrific examples that are actually happening on the ground. but this is a monumental changing of the story, certainly. >> cedric, colonel, you heard what susan said. it's a sort of wrapped up in a bowl here. does this attack have the markings of a false flag operation? i mean we know russia has attempted attacks like that in the past. >> my suspicions are that it does don. and i agree with susan, this is a situation where it's all just to need. you don't solve crimes like this in 24 hours. and if you know enough about a crime like this that it's about to occur, you prevent the crime from happening. so we don't know exactly what the relationship between the
8:24 pm
father aleksandr dugin and putin, is there is speculation that he is putin's -- unquote. there's other word that he was probably not so close to putin an attempt to go with that. the thought process but, this is a situation where the crime is just to need. it has all the hallmarks of a professional hit job. but the few people that could commit professional hijabs actually work for putin in russia. at least most of them do. and, so is there something that happened between those people and putin? is there something else that's going on? is there a power struggle that's going? on that could very well be the case. and if he uses, that putin, putin can in the effort to galvanize public opinion in russia. once, again to go after ukraine. this would be the perfect opportunity for him to introduce himself. >> susan, can you weigh in on that? what do we know about darya
8:25 pm
dugina his father and how close he is with putin. and how might that play into the criminal response? >> i, mean there's no question that aleksandr dugin, going back to two decades ago when i was in moscow and i was reporting for the washington post, he was sort of one of the intellectual godfathers of this quote unquote eurasia movement. the idea, essentially that russia's path is not of immigration with europe and the west. but it has its own special destiny, if you. well and he's built the whole infrastructure around that. and a subsequent couple of decades, his daughter was involved in this. she was a spokesperson for her father's causes. she was sanctioned, by the way, by both the united states and great britain in recent months after putin launched the invasion of ukraine. and, she was the editor of a website that was founded -- sorry funded by yevgeny
8:26 pm
prefrozen who was of a family who we were talking in a previous segment. the funder of the internet research agency with figured in the 2016 hacking of the u.s. election. so you know she and her father absolutely part of the ideological underpinning of poutine-ism if you will. does that make him a close confidant of putin? i have not seen any evidence to suggest that they really are as close as some of the stories you might indicate. >>, colonel it's another 7000 and 75 million u.s. dollars in coup being -- what does that mean for the ground game? where is this fight heading? >> i think, don with this package is going to, do this 775 million is going to add to the ability of the ukrainian forces to do things in terms of
8:27 pm
reconnaissance, as well as targeting that they've been able to do. but it's going to improve upon. that it's going to allow them to track and target russian forces in the east, in the donbas region, as well as in the south. the ukrainians are looking at, obviously, going into the south. they are publicly announcing that they will mount an offense to retake kherson that region in the south. whether or not they actually do that with the full blown offensive, i am kind of doubtful that they will do it that way. but, what they are going to do is that they are going to pinpoint a tax special operation attacks that will attack things like arms depots, flight lines on air bases, headquarters, perhaps individual russian soldiers and russian leaders. but that is the kind of thing that this will allow them to do. and they're targeting is going to get, very very precise. especially with drones like the scanning drone which is a part of this package.

with the midterm elections just months away, and the next presidential contest a little bit more than two years away, many black voters have a message for politicians, especially joe biden. pay attention to our economic needs. inflation is hurting a lot of black families and black entrepreneurs. they want more access to

large out-of-state corporations have set their sights on california. they've written prop 27, to allow online sports betting. they tell us it will fund programs for the homeless. but read prop 27's fine print. 90% of profits go to out-of-state corporations, leaving almost nothing for the homeless. no real jobs are created here. but the promise between our state and our sovereign tribes would be broken forever. these out-of-state corporations don't care about california. but we do. stand with us.

so, tomorrow is gearing up to be another big primary day. this, time voters in florida new york are heading to the polls, one of the most anticipated matchups in new york 12 congressional district. the states recently distributing processes behind this race. congressman gerry nadler, congresswoman maloney an attorney surat but tell will face off against each other. at age 30, eight patelis the youngest of the three candidates. congresswoman maloney is 70, six congresswoman -- 70. five for, more i'm gonna bring in our commentator. it seems like we're having an election every day. what's happening? what's going? on >> its the primary season.
8:42 pm
>> democracy is ally. [laughs] >> barely. >> okay, so listen, ashley nadler and maloney our longtime allies. both have been in the house since 1992. now, they're intense rivals with their career on the. line who's got the edge here? >> well, it's unfortunate that they're even in this situation because of the way the lines were drawn around redistricting. if politics were normal, which we know are not, german nadler probably will pull this one out. he has an endorsement of chuck schumer, he's ahead in the polls, but if turnout is high i think -- i don't think patel will win. but i do think it actually does favor patel. he challenged maloney a few cycles ago and only lost by 4000 votes as a first-time candidate. so, you also have the factor of abortion rights. so you have women also showing up to the polls. and if you haven't done your research, and you're going to the polls, i'm not dissing
8:43 pm
women vote for women, but you may say that i wanted women to be representing me right now. but the likelihood is that chairman and that lure will probably pull out this primary and most likely win the district. because it is a blue district. >> okay, so let's go to new york tent district now. more than a dozen candidates are running. among them, is trump impeachment lawyer and city congresswoman mondaire jones. what will this race reveal about the showdown between progressives and more moderate democrats? >> these, from my perspective, it seems like there are too many progressives in the race. and i think that that gives goldman a slight edge. ordinarily, you think the progressives would win. but that progressive vote could be split, potentially three ways. so, i would just have to think that goldman has a slight advantage right now. and we are just talking about nadler and maloney. and i share with both of them. the one thing i've noticed there too is that these are two
8:44 pm
members who are both committee chairs. they've both been in for 15 terms. and i've got to mention, to, this other guy patel, he is talking about being the next generation of leadership. and you have to think that has some appeal when you have two people who are in their 70s. but, it is hard to be to institutions, alone. one so i think that you are right. i think that this is really between nadler and maloney. but this other race, i think goldman right now is in a good spot because the progressives are splitting the votes. >> interesting sitting next to a political crowd last night. they were talking about the need for young people. and the person next to me whispered, do we really need young people? they don't know the history. look, i'm not gonna answer you on that. let's go to florida now. a lot of focus is gonna be on which democrat is going to take the gop ron desantis come november. the congressman in florida, and
8:45 pm
nikki freed are running against each other. do either of these candidates have a chance at beating ron desantis? i don't think they really do at this point. he is very powerful. he's got a lot of money. florida has been trending republican. so, i think that they -- i think it's a long shot. i just don't see that is very competitive situation. although, i will say, the democrats do have a certain amount of intensity after the dobbs decision. that might mitigate or make this race a little tighter than it would be. but it just seems that desantis is in a strong position. >> do you think florida is in for desantis or not? >> if i were democrat, i would also be looking at val demings. >> that's what i wanted to talk about. i want to talk about demings. >> yes, but i would look at it as a package, right? so if you get some excitement around the sentence race. and you're putting ruby, out and voters come out and young people and people of color showing, up that's going to help in the governor races. well i think desantis is
8:46 pm
probably trending most likely to win in the general. but there was also a whole lot of things a week ago where people were saying, in florida, they don't want desantis to be president. so you also have to wonder for independent voters, you have to wonder do they even want him to be governor anymore. he has definitely been on the right of the right of donald trump right now. and i think that some independent voters will show up. and maybe say no. >> since you jumped ahead in the work book, let's go to the senate, race democratic representatives hoping for the nomination to take on republican senator marco rubio in november. if she wins, as expected, how big of a threat do you think that she could be to rubio? you are just talking about that. >> she has a bright political future. she was a part of the impeachment hearings. she is a former law enforcement. she is from the community. i mean, she was on the shortlist to be the vice president for joe biden. so i do think you are seeing her poll numbers turned up. the last couple i saw, she was

up by four points. i think, you know, rubio does have popularity in florida. but i think this is a race to watch. and, the one thing i love about this races that she's keeping a local. you don't hear a lot of conversation, she knows that the way you win florida is to get into those communities and have direct conversation. you don't need it to be a national race. she's doing great with fundraising, and she has a strong possibility. >> it's been interesting to me to watch how she has been keeping a local. she's done a few national interviews. she is keeping a local. and if you go to florida and you watch the airwaves, there you will see that she is all over the airwaves. >> the reason why they do that is because in what should be a decent republican year, you will always hear the party in power of the democrats, you always had to localize the race. because oftentimes you don't want to nationalize these races. the national environment favors the other party. i think it's very hard these days to localize races. but, they really have no other choice. at the end of the day, i still

think rubio comes through there. i think he's got enough juice. i don't bet against history when it comes to these midterms. >> i agree with you, but it's surprising to see how well she's doing. >> she's an impressive candidate. >> yeah. all right, do you disagree? >> i think it's surprising, always when i see florida or arkansas or some red state where i see democrats are doing. well i mean, what is going on? but in order for democrats to win, even in pennsylvania, they have to be really far head in the polling. and i think democrats are exciting, saying, we are catching. up we are edging them out. you've got to be far head in this. >> the one thing, i saw some numbers yesterday and right now the early voting and vote by mail in florida is ahead of 2018. and that is a good sign for democrats right now. >> unless republicans have learned their lesson from 2020. >> the big voter suppression that went on in 2020 was donald
