12:01 am
live from cnn center, this is cnn newsroom with rose richards. >> good to have you with us. we are following details in relation to a classified document stored inside former president donald trump's florida home. multiple sources tell cnn the intelligence community has been working with the fbi since mid- may to determine the level of the document secrecy. the review has allowed the agencies to determine whether
12:02 am
any immediate efforts are needed to protect intelligence sources and methods. this is in addition to the damage assessment officials are conducting to determine if national security was put at risk by his handling of the documents. we also learned some seized documents may contain material covered by attorney-client privilege. this is the developing story from washington. >> reporter: the justice department suggesting it has already gotten into way in digging through documents seized from former president donald trump. >> it's too late. we are already looking at this material and we have the process in place to protect it. >> reporter: the doj says they have limited materials that could attorney client information. this is after a judge was asked to get a special master.
12:03 am
>> we have problems accepting everything at face value. it's a politicized place. there is still a need for a judge to get involved on every aspect of this. >> reporter: the fallout continues of how former president donald trump had a classified documents. >> 184 classified documents. admiral haynes told congress officials are conducting a damage assessment of those documents including the risk to national security resulting from the disclosure of relative documents. the doj says they are working alongside intelligence officials to facilitate a review of these materials. >> it is disgusting in my mind. no president should act this way, obviously. >> some allies are leaping to his defense like lindsey graham
12:04 am
. >> i will say this, if there is a prosecution of donald trump for mishandling classified information after the clinton debacle. >> reporter: chris didn't do wonders about the timing of this. this is unprecedented. >> reporter: there were concerns about the timing and admitted he should have returned the documents immediately. >> he should've turned over all the documents. he knows that very well now as well. >> it is a privileged material that came out of the search at mar-a-lago. a judge is inclined to have a special mass you assign.
12:05 am
she's having hearing tuesday. brian kemp will have to testify before grand jury investigating election meddling. he can wait until after the november election. he wanted his subpoenas squashed altogether but the judge has ruled his claim of sovereign immunity applies in civil, not criminal actions. the fulton county district attorney's office is slamming senator lindsey graham for what they call his extreme position and wanting his subpoenas squashed the secretary of state says he called election officials suggesting they throw out votes in counties that joe biden one. >> i went to bring in michael moore, former u.s. attorney and partner at the moore hall law group. thank you for coming. let's talk with this investigation into the attempt
12:06 am
to overturn election results in georgia. a federal judge ruled buddy that the governor, brian kemp must testify in that investigation but he can wait until after the midterm elections. what is your reaction to that delay and how significant will that be once he gives it? >> i am glad to be with you. he has been supervising a special grand jury here. he does a governor that some claims did not matter and he was not to be prosecuted in a criminal case and there could be negotiations about some areas that could be out of bounds. the interesting part of the order was the suggestion that this would not be politicized. you know, he is up for reelection in november and the timing is a little bit suspect here.
12:07 am
just before the election he had to appear here and it is not unusual because the same thing happened when the da named an associate as a target just before the election. i think the judge is keeping a good finger on the case to make sure nobody abuses their authority. at the end of the day she is already granted many waivers until 2023 for the grand jury to operate. this short delay should not impact the case for consideration i think it was the right move by the judge. >> when that happens, what you expect to come out of this special grand jury investigation? how long is the case to be
12:08 am
against former president donald trump? >> i think she will be interested in pacific threats and what might happen and conversations in that way. it's for people close to him in his inner circle. i think that is the type of information she is likely looking for. the case, as you know as been -- there is a tape recorder, a case was made that is on the tape recording alone. he suggests that he has won the election and the secretary of state needs to find his votes and the total he asked for is one vote more than he lost the state five. he has federal charges and a case involving the secretary
12:09 am
fee does not do these things. there is clear intimidation there. those were considered to be intimidated. >> there are new developments in the legal development. a small portion of those documents could contain material covered by attorney client privilege. how likely is it that there will be a special master appointed with a ruling on that this thursday? >> there is nothing unusual about asking for special master. what is unusual is the length of time it took to ask. the documents were not just being reviewed by the fbi. >> why did it take them so long? is this just trying to play for more time? what is going on here? >> their reports about difficulties that the former
12:10 am
president and in securing counsel. i don't know that. i think it was a mistake to wait that long before you make a motion. this is something that should have been done immediately and typically would be done immediately if the documents were already being reviewed. so i was a little surprised. there was nothing wrong at all with making the motion, the problem is they waited too long to make it. so these are -- attorney-client privilege information. we found some of that in their review and there were some documents there. i don't think this is a hard call to make. at the end of the day it will be the difference between a belt or suspenders.
12:11 am
okay. thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate. >> always great to be here. thank you. >> okay. the secret service director left the agency monday. it is a significant departure which comes two months after his name came up during testimony to the house select committee investigating january 6. you will recall the white house aide testified in june that former president donald trump became irate when he learned his security detail would not take him to the capital on january 6. the house select committees that it believes there could be information about movements and intentions leading up to and on january 6. president joe biden is set to deliver a primetime speech in philadelphia on thursday with the white house saying he
