protective gear and training for working dogs who face danger. in 2017, our first profile jimmy as a champion for change. he convinced me to go skydiving with him to raise money for spikes canaan fund. in 2019, after transmitting with yell professor on another skydiving trip, jimmy was encouraged to apply to yells eli whitney program for non-traditional students with exceptional backgrounds and aspirations. >> a few months later i received an email saying that i was accepted. and i was shocked, i looked at my wife and she said, you would be an idiot if you didn't go. >> so age 52, jimmy hatch became the oldest freshman in al's class of 2023. last year, from the united states chaotic was withdraw from afghanistan, i asked me to come on cnn, --
10:01 pm
someone who fought so long and hard. there >> i think the solution is to figure out how not to do it again. >> turns at your university like jimmy's idea. and matt a matter of weeks, there isn't a yearlong clause to investigate what went wrong in afghanistan, produce a report of their findings. they batted jimmy the undergraduate to not only take the graduate level class, but to be an unofficial co-professor. a retired u.s. ambassador and patterson. >> jimmy was basically the founder, the branch behind the course. and he was a huge benefit because jamie had, on the ground experience, in afghanistan. >> my first class was that. >> jimmy, when it came to yale, i think showed us that education to service is to. his service to the country didn't and when he stopped being a navy seal and serving an active combat. this idea that this is a new phase of this service to the country. and that he was there to learn
10:02 pm
something so that the world would be better. >> the class spent months speaking to a number of generals and ambassadors, members of the afghan special forces, and even a spokesman for the taliban. >> i do believe that's one of the things that needs to happen if the military is going to stopping the easy button, for how we saw, things we are gonna have to talk to people we don't want to talk to. for me, the last people in the world i want to talk to was the taliban. >> jamie had hopes the report will inspire americans of all walks of life to hold the countries leaders accountable in america's future conflicts. >> i believe that in a way, a part of the united states of america died in afghanistan. and that's my classmates and i, will pick them up, and brought them to our classroom, and are attempting to bury them with respect, and learn the lessons
10:03 pm
that created them. >> here's the report of germana's class, the link at the bottom of your screen -- also want to find out more about trump's charity, go to spikes canaan fund. org. tune in saturday, 8 pm eastern for the champion for change one all were special. the news continues, time to turn over to don lemon tonight. >> this is don lemon tonight and the former presidents run of that luck keeps rolling in all. we are rolling, rolling rolling. special master just about how that with the legal team, and i remind you this is their handpicked special master this is really a put up or shut up moment 14 trump. judge raymond dearie ordered the trump team to backup his out of court claims that the fbi sent out is such a
10:04 pm
mar-a-lago. back it up, put up or shut up. turned up more than 100 classified documents. the judge wants him to give him a sworn declaration with a list of items that they claim are planted. that's the thing. this is about facts. it's about evidence. you can't just make wild accusations in court without a shred of evidence, even if that is your main mo out in the court of maga opinion. the judge also considering evidence from witnesses with knowledge of facts let's not forget former president would have you believe that he'd be classified documents just by thinking about it. which is not a thing. senate republicans not buying that either. >> up here, we take it very seriously. people can get hurt, people can get killed if it is not stored correctly and if that information gets out. >> plus, problems mounting for
10:05 pm
vladimir putin. at the un today world leaders slamming him over his invasion of ukraine while east lane to his to reclaim his battered were machine and personally giving directions to generals in the field. that is he calls up 300,000 citizens and reservists to fight in ukraine. the mobilization not seen since world war ii. and meanwhile, russians who want to avoid the mobilization are crowding the borders while the families left behind say goodbye to loved ones they know that they may never see again. but is it desperate putin? and a more dangerous putin? and how much support does he still have from the russian people? we've got more to come on this later on in the broadcast. a lot to cover in a couple of hours that we have with you this evening. i want to begin with cnn seeing senior legal analyst atul laura coats, and bradly moss. laura, let's talk about the special master, the special picked special master from team trump, overseeing this mar-a-lago docks, ordering trump seeming to backup their claims of the fbi possibly planted evidence. he is telling lawyers to put up
10:06 pm
or shut up. >> exactly. you can file this under be careful what you wish for, team litigation trump, because you just might get it. you've asked for a special master with credentials who has the experience judicially to be able to understand what they are looking for, the pfizer court experience, about the notion of classified documents versus unclassified, the idea of privilege versus non privilege, but ultimately you have somebody who is in a position to know the difference between the court of public opinion, and the court of law. and what you can say in the court of public opinion might be much more expensive. but what is required in a court of law is that if you make an allegation or an assertion, you have to actually substantiate it. here the special master is saying, look, you have articulated your client articulated all these notions about planting evidence or declassifying documents. where is that statement in a court of law?
10:07 pm
if it's not there, that is not going to bode well for the overall assessment, and frankly, it might actually translate into the court of the electorate or the court of public opinion as to the veracity, credibility of all of the claims that he has made regarding that search on his estate. >> bradley, the special master is also opening the door to witness testimony, which is kind of surprising. there have been a lot of questions about the chain of custody and who may have moved the documents from the basement into trump's office. who do you think could be called as witnesses? >> there is any number of people who work or worked at mar-a-lago who would potentially be relevant. it's obviously donald trump, some of his former, sorry, some of his personal attorneys were not working on this current particular civil litigation. you think of elena hobba. now there is issues. they're there are privileged issues, what they can talk about, and the extent to which
10:08 pm
this is between the special master's authority. but to supplement what laura was saying, this is all a problem of donald trump's own making. he brought this civil litigation when he didn't need to. he gave doj the opening to provide the public with more information about what was going on. he didn't need to let them do that. now he's got the 11th circuit and the special master breathing down his neck, telling, him what are you doing here? you can't just make these wild accusations. you have to back it up with sworn affidavits. you have to back it up with exhibits. you have done none of that. we are not going to play games with this. either you provide the evidence or your case is done. >> laura, you know, this a lot of people will say, especially when it's a high-profile person, they want the court of public opinion, they can sway people, they think they can push the legal system into what they are thinking. i want to continue with what you and bradley said. what is the say about the
10:09 pm
special master and the 11th circuit, taking on trump's public train claims that haven't been pushed forward in legal filings? declassifying? planted evidence, so on ad so forth? >> you mean the idea of what his interview with the -- to suggest you could declassify somehow through telepathy, don? the idea that you could just think about something in all of a sudden it goes away? a nuclear secret, when you think about it i guess it goes away. classified documents, i mean think about it. the absurdity of the statements is a self inflicted wound. the judges have the benefit of really two things. one, the facts before them. the absence of evidence. and also they are remembering back to a time so not so long ago when there were similar statements made in a court of public opinion about evidence of voter related fraud, about election related lies. and then when asked in a court of law to support that, to substantiate in some, way they did not. so in some respects, not only are we seeing the judge is
10:10 pm
learning from what has happened in this particular exclusive matter, but they are learning from experience based on other instances, where there has been a statement made by the former president in the court of public opinion, trying to inject and infuse it with a particular narrative, and then when a court of law, their brethren and sisters of the court, there is crickets there. and so unfortunately he is, i think, now becoming the victim of his own making, in the sense of every web of statements that are unsubstantiated creates an opportunity for him to undermine his own cases before there is a single criminal charge. >> here's the interesting thing. donald trump has been very litigious. that is no secret. that's what the evidence shows. he has been able to wait people out, financially, have them spend a lot of money and have things just go away because people don't want to be entangled with the legal system and they don't want the fees.
10:11 pm
so what do you expect. this instance is different. so what do you expect trump's lawyers to do. they have a client that makes a lot of claims about the fbi, about seized documents, but so far, trump's attorneys have been more restrained. it would be a crime if they had knowingly lied in court, correct? >> correct. absolutely. they don't want to commit perjury or support perjury. the lawyers that came on all know who michael cohen is, who would actually giuliani, is who sydney powell is and they don't want to go that way, they don't want to go to prison or find their licenses at risk. so they are going to find this middle ground with this client who doesn't listen to them, who forgets that he has a right to remain silent, and if he doesn't things could be held against him. they're going to try to thread this needle with what they put forward to the court and the arguments they used, to just try to drag this out. they're not expecting to win anything with this civil litigation, as far as i'm concerned. they know the law is not on
10:12 pm
their side. their goal is one thing, to drag this out, to mark up the process, make it so that the government can't bring itself, sorry, can't get to a decision on whether or not to bring an indictment or not in this case, and make it so that we get closer and closer to november 24, at which point all this could get shut down, if donald trump or someone favorable to him would win the presidency. >> if you lose your client, wouldn't you handcuff an unlocked in the room so he wouldn't go on television and an interview and possibly make things worse for you? why on earth are they allowing him to go on television and make claims, and then have the special master say, oh you can make those claims, then show, prove it. >> well, let's be honest. it's all about the money. the only lawyers he's got that are willing to work for him at this point are ones who are demanding things upfront like a 3 million dollar retainer. you are entitled to get, to hire any lawyer you want.
10:13 pm
the lawyer is not required to agree to be higher. the only lawyers left are those who are simply not ready or qualified to handle the situation or basically told donald trump, look, you can do whatever you want, because it's your life, it's your potential freedom and issue. i will do what i can within the bounds of the ethics rules to defend you in court. i won't support perjury, i will commit perjury myself, i won't do what kristina bob may have done, potentially, committed potential perjury in light of the feds. but you can say whatever you want to say to sean hannity because it's your life. as long my check clears, i've got what i want. >> laura, judge raymond dearie is someone trump's team put forward as a candidate for special master. did they think they'd get someone more favorable? i'm sure they did. >> listen i think don, their hope was that he would be somebody that had an ax to grind against the fbi. remember that judge dearie was on the pfizer court, the court
10:14 pm
that oversees surveillance of individuals. one of the people that the fbi put forward before this judge is part of the pfizer court was carter page. now remember carter page had an infamous three-time renewal warrant to surveil him, but then ultimately, in the generals office of the fbi found that it was problematic, to say the least. so one of the times it was actually sworn to and allowed to go forward was under this judge. so i suppose the trump litigation team may have hope that they had planted enough of the seed of doubt in the mind of the judge to suggest that it was their fair game to doubt the credibility of law enforcement, particularly the fbi. of course, what we found was that this judge so far, and we don't know everything that's going to happen, but so far this judge is adhering to what he is asked to look at. remember, it was classified documents review, they said no, or the idea of privileged documents, neither of which relates to a potential ax to grind.
10:15 pm
and frankly, to suggest that he would proceed under that notion would really be lie what we know to have been his credibility on the bench and tenure for the better part of three decades. >> if you make a claim, you've got to prove it. that's what happens in a court of law. thank you both. i appreciate it. the mobilization likes of which russia has not seen since world war ii. desperate russians trying to escape across borders. family saying goodbye knowing they may not see each other again. as putin's problems multiply at home and in the war in ukraine, what will he do next? what will he do next? it sure is. and i earn 5% cash back on travel purchased through chase with chase freedom unlimited. that means that i earn 5% on our rental car, i earn 5% on our cabin. i mean, c'mon! hello cashback! hello, kevin hart! i'm scared. in a good way. i'm lying. let's get inside. earn big time with chase freedom unlimited with no annual fee.

10:18 pm
since matthew chance has our report on the reaction from the russian people. >> suddenly, an exodus across russia's borders. social media now filled with images like these near the country's southern frontiers of vehicles backed up, out of sight. >> everyone is on the run from russia, this man says. endless cars. it's mind-boggling. >> in the west, toward finland, border officials also reporting significantly higher traffic. nearly 5000 crossing in a single day were expected by the weekend, as russians made for the exits. across russia, there is a growing sense of alarm, even anger at the call up of reservists to fight in ukraine. more than 1300 protesters have

10:24 pm
but florida law makers trying to stop it. he has filed an order against descendants to stop him from busing migrants to other states. jason pizo joins me now. senator, thank you for joining us. i appreciate it. the timing couldn't be better, because you just filed this lawsuit about an hour ago, and you said the governor and his administration broke the law when they paid for flights to move venezuelan migrants from texas to massachusetts. tell us about the case you're making. >> thanks for having me on don, and for reporting on this very critical issue. in the state of florida, this last legislative session, just a few months ago, two bills were passed and signed into law. when was the appropriations bill, where all of the state revenue and budget goes, and the other was an immigration -related bill that prohibited certain activity for people to
10:25 pm
be transported. and both of those bills, which, again, the governor signed into law, very simply said, that only money could be used for the transporting of unauthorized aliens from the state of florida. and by all reports, all accounts, even his own raggedy show, repeatedly, operatives were sent in from the vendor into texas to gather and corral up a group of paper, take a pit stop on the tarmac of florida, called at being from florida, and then off to martha's vineyard. but this is a very narrowly terrier tailored injunctive relief to stop making these payments. >> let's talk about it. this is a justification for the flights. he says, he's pointing to a provision in the state budget that's at the side $12 million for a new program to transport migrants unlawfully in united states. what's your response to that? >> i'm a bit of a textualist. what it actually says is that the florida department of transportation is required to implement a program that receives at least two bids.
10:26 pm
we have no indication there were two bids. and the allocation of appropriations $12 million to be spent, again, very important, on unauthorized aliens. and we can question the immigration status of the individuals brought from texas. not all of them were unauthorized, because they were processed into the system. and second, from this state. don, a very clearly, by all indications, all reports, videos, testimony, other lawsuit filed, nobody originated here in florida. no dollar can be spent outside of florida. >> okay, so the migrants on these flights were not from florida, as you said. he has repeatedly suggested that the action was validated because florida is in the final destination of many migrants. is that a fair assessment? >> it's about a fair of assessment and saying instead flying up to the state capital spending the night with my kids in, anticipation of where i
10:27 pm
might be next week, you have no idea. so try to get into the head of 48 migrants of where they intend to go or may matriculate too is so anticipatory and so attenuated that it should find no place in the law. nor will it. >> senator, desantis has vowed to transport more migrants from the border. he says the flights to martha's vineyard were just beginning. he's now backing down. watch this. >> now everybody is talking about it, and look, they're bossing to new york city, d. c., all this stuff, and that's not the solution, though. the solution is to recognize the policies failed and to change the policy. and you can do that very easily in ways that have been proven to work. so hopefully, we are going to be talking about this a lot more now. this was not an issue of concern, even two weeks ago. now it seems to be on the front burner. so we are proud of that. >> interesting. so senator, he gets a lot of applause for this at his rallies. so clearly it's a hot blooded
10:28 pm
political issue. >> it is to his base. and don, for the past four years that i have been in state senate, it has been less about democrats versus republicans. the ideology or policy. it's more about republicans distinguishing and distancing themselves to their based on showing who could be more right than the other one. here's the deal. it gets sentimental and personal for me. like governor desantis, we both are great grand sons of women who came from italy and were illiterate and struck out a claim for themselves and their families and work very hard and came up to this is done and had the benefit of every thing available to them in the united states. i remember that and work towards that. he likes to forget it. this is cruel and inhumane. that's the focus of our bill, is to stop the wastefull unlawful spending outside the state of florida. >> so you did this tonight. so what comes next for you? >> i'm hoping to get emergency hearing tomorrow. i remain here in the state capital so we will hear from a circuit court here in leon

about this. don't you think, margaret? >> there's enough material. >> i have to go to these names. let me put on my glasses here. the gop has a lot of extreme candidates on the ballot. ninth congressional district the committee seems to be losing jr majeski, pulling their ads. he is an election denier. he was also at the capitol on january six. he has shared pro qanon material and is running against a congresswoman who has been in office nearly 40 years. how is this playing out, margaret? >> it's playing out for a much smaller margin that senator mccarthy is likely to have is in his majority. it's still likely that republicans will still have the house of representatives. but kevin mccarthy was hoping for a 40% majority in the house of representatives, and that keeps ticking down. they put out million dollars of ads in somebody in a trump plus three district in ohio that should have been a walk away race. and instead they've got this, by the way, your question was, is candidate quality what mitch
10:35 pm
mcconnell was talking about when he said this? you just talked about members the people running for house. he was talking about the senate. >> but i thought he was talking about candidates in general. >> to the point, there's still gonna hold the house. maybe not the senate. >> now i'm picking where you putting it down. the gop unconditional john davies once argue that america has suffered since women's suffrage. he ran a think tank in early 2000, and this is what the kfile dug up. the kfile dug up that he said that we conclude that increasing the size and scope of government is on equivocally bad, and since women's suffrage has caused this to occur on a larger scale than any other cause in history, we concluded the united states has suffered as a rolled of women's suffrage. what does this say about the candidate quality here? >> i'll tell you. i just couldn't believe. you just have his picture up. did you notice something about
10:36 pm
him? >> that he's black? >> that he's black. in other words, he didn't have a right to vote for a very long time until the constitution was changed. so his ancestors didn't have it. and so for an african american man to be against women suffrage, to be praising an organization that wants to abolish the 19th amendment is hypocritical. it's crazy. it's shameful. it's 200 year ago type of policy. really, this guy should be running for congress of caveman, not for congress in 2022. >> but margaret, he said that women did not possess the characteristics necessary to government. >> neither does he! >> but how did someone like that end up being a candidate? come on. >> thank you for asking. i was hoping we will get to solutions instead of the
10:37 pm
inanity that has become the base of republican party. closed partisan primaries. say that over and over again. closed partisan primaries cater to the most extreme and the most fringe in parties where special interests -- special interests used to be the problem and i was just conspiracy theories and crazy flat earth society women can't vote or think for themselves. and it is. the party is not just the party of trump. it's a party of conspiracy theories. it's a party of the big lie. all that. this kind of asinine stuff that, by the way, this is a d+ 5 to 9 district. peter meijer, the republican who voted for impeachment and frankly had dccc money run against him so that this clown could lose the seat to the dccc. >> how does that happen? how hypocritical is that? >> it's going to play out and
10:38 pm
-- [laughs] >> can you be a little more specific? >> you say a plus nine? >> it's somewhere between the plus nine to d plus five. peter meijer could've held. this guy is not gonna. >> when we started the segment you said we're gonna talk about good candidates and bad candidates. i say which one because there's such a plethora to choose from. on the senate side it must be very frustrating for mitch mcconnell. not only does he have some very bad candidates in places that should be wins for the republicans, ohio, pennsylvania, georgia. let's just go on and on. but he also has a very bad chair of the national republican senatorial committee with a bunch of money missing that nobody knows where it has gone and a bunch of miss spending that donors want clarified. so mitch mcconnell had to come to the rescue. and all of this are the seeds planted by donald trump.
10:39 pm
having election deniers, conspiracy theories, having herschel walker, all of these people, may not oz, that is a result of what the havoc donald trump's wreaked on the republican party. you've got all these bad candidates. you've got a really bad chair of the nrsc. and then you get people used to be good candidates, like marco rubio, becoming, trying to figure out how to become more maga. marco rubio, who has spent all his career talking about communism and socialism, railing ford tps for venezuelans, is now railing against the venezuelans for suing ron desantis for using them as a political prop. what happened, marco? you used to be the republican savior. now you the republican -- shame! >> thanks for the translation. >> it's hispanic heritage month, i can teach you a few words.
10:40 pm
this is my month. i'm taking it. i'm embracing it. >> to ana's point, it has become tougher and tougher with every single day to say that the republican party is not the party of what you guys were saying. there are people who say it's not the party. >> well, there's a couple of us who are hanging our hats on lisa reelection, on the mitt romney,'s the senators voted for impeachment and will have to tell about it. lisa murkowski, by the way, did i mention, those three words, you know how is a close partisan primary? guess where they don't have close partisan primaries? guess where the moderate candidates who represent the majority of republicans? alaska. my hat was on liz cheney and i have no hat. >> the campaign says that women should be allowed to vote and work and he says this, that

john may decide to provoke the left on campus to draw attention to the hypocrisy of some modern-day feminists. it was nothing more than a college kid being over the top. so, what do you think? >> i already told you what i think of him. should i repeat it? >> the reason that there is all these issues regarding women voting is because there's a lot of angry women. you don't take the right that had become an accepted national right for women and take it, take it all of it away, that because we as women are reading daily about the ten year old girl that gets raved and can't get an abortion, about the woman's got to carry a child without a skull and give birth to. it the consequences with birth control, and those things have got women, hell knows no fury like a woman's wrath. and there's a lot of us who are very angry, because it seems like it's a bunch of old white man like lindsey graham, who i bet you would have a very difficult time being able to

immigrated from ukraine years ago are doing everything they can, including opening their personal holmes and providing financial support. >> mariupol, ukraine, last christmas. mariupol ukraine, now. since the start of the war, more than 7 million people have been forced to flee ukraine. alexander urasov and his wife olga were just two of them. they were trapped in mariupol with their three children. i'm at the u.s. at a park in brooklyn, new york. the daughter was about to celebrate her seventh birthday. it was just months after they left ukraine, and at times, it is still so hard for them to even tell their story. >> an explosion wave took out our front row door and looters came into whatever they liked. shell fragments remain in my back, and there is a hole in my head. >> the urasovs escaped, thanks to another family who lived 5000 miles away. >> he is my childhood friend we. met when we were five or six
10:48 pm
years old. and >> alison's siblings came to united states from ukraine of the past two decades and they started a small but slaving business operating car business. their lives changed too. >> calling our relatives asking how they are there and people were panicking. >> we decided that we have to help them, get them out from their somehow. >> one of the things that sticks with me is that it took the urasovs this 19 days to get from mariupol to the ukraine border they had an eight month old baby. when i left ukraine, along with hundreds of thousands of rescue
10:49 pm
refugees it took 19 hours, and it was a grueling experience. in the context you think, wow, suffering that they endured and what they went through, the trauma, is really unimaginable. they first lived in alex's one bedroom apartment in brooklyn. one bedroom, one bathroom. in that space he and his wife have hosted as many as 12 refugees at once. [interpreter] >> of course we have our challenges. but at the end of it all, i understand that they don't have anything else. they had nowhere to go. [end of translation] >> they reached out to their local jewish organization, and they worked with them and the united jewish appeal to help the family and so many other families who have been desperately feeling fleeing ukraine and trying to come to the united states to start a new. life >> how much money have you
10:50 pm
all spent, and how you managing that? >> it's hard to tell how much money we have. we have to get the taxi and you have to get tickets both ways and it is really hard. >> and then ended up here maybe 150,000. >> alexander wants to find a home for his family. he wants to get a job. he is struggling to find work here in the united states. [speaking non-english] [interpreter] it would be easier if they simplified the job permit process. it is hard. we've been here with five months with no income. [end of translation] >> we are just trying to help them and save as many people as we can, and we already brought 15 families here. five more are ready to come to united states. they approved. and more people are waiting over there in the country, in ukraine. it is very hard to choose. >> it's a choice no one wants to make. but the chosen, in the face of such great loss, are grateful
10:51 pm
for life. [speaking non-english] [interpreter] >> they are doing a noble thing. they help people get out of the country where the war is underway. [end of translation] >> alexander uses the word noble, and that is what alex, angela, and nick are, sacrificing their time and their hard earned success, just to help others have a chance to build new dreams. [speaking non-english] [interpreter] >> i dream of getting a good education here so i can have a good job. >> i want to go to school as soon as possible and make good grades. [end of translation] >> wow. erin burnett is here right now. erin, what a fantastic story. the urasovs so they had been trying to get jobs in the u.s. for five months. what is that? >> five months, don. and it's getting the work papers. they're here under what is called humanitarian parole status. you can get that and then you have to get work papers to be allowed to work. so alex is a crane operator. he simply can't get to work. you talked about it as affecting his dignity and self-worth.
10:52 pm
he wants to provide for his family. you saw some of those other refugees who are actually in alex's apartment right now. among them is a mother and daughter. they were accountants at big companies in ukraine, in mariupol. one of them is taking classes online and the other is working as a nail technician. she is doing now because they can't get work papers. so the word paper backlog is a really huge issue right now. >> after the war we were all doing stories, on each of our shows, about people who are resettled here. and your story we saw how alex has had up to 12 ukrainian refugees in his one bedroom apartment at a time. how can people help ukrainian refugees right now? >> the most incredible thing about this is that they open their hearts and their homes and their wallets, all of them. i know people watch and say, what can they do to help? you can if you want to take
10:53 pm
people in. you can do that. there's a process. you go to welcome dot u.s., is about a new flick for ukrainian refugees, and you can see how to do. it involves sponsoring families. that's what they've done for each of these families, sponsored them. so they can come to the u.s. and to the humanitarian parole status for two years. that takes a huge amount of commitment. more americans can do it though if they want to, and of course you also can donate, i mentioned, the united jewish appeal, and the edith and karl marx community house red cross. there are other ways, of course, that you can help. don, as you know, there are still so much help needed. there they are still coming here and they desperately want to work and to start to build new lives, as you heard those children say. they expect to live here now, maybe for the rest of their lives. >> erin, thank you so much. a very inspirational story. we appreciated. we will continue to share these inspirational stories all week. tune in on saturday at 8 pm eastern for the champions for change one hour special. we'll be right back.

garlique healthy blood pressure formula helps maintain healthy blood pressure with a custom blend of ingredients. i'm taking charge, with garlique. >> it's kind of, careful what you wish for. the trump legal team taken to task in court today by the special master that they requested, raymond airy, demanding that the lawyers find proof for the claims that the fbi possibly planted evidence, opening the door to witness testimony about the mar-a-lago documents. joining me now to discuss this, cnn's chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst, mr. john miller, and former assistant special watergate prosecutor, nick ackerman, and former federal prosecutor, mr. jim walden. so glad to have all of you on. john, i'll start with you. so the special master is telling the trump legal team he wants them to submit
10:59 pm
specifically a declaration of, quote, any specific items that were on the doj's list that they believe were not taken from mar-a-lago. so basically he is saying, his pr strategy that this is planted and making that claim, he is saying, prove it. >> the special master for judge dearie, is a special master, in this case, not a judge. but he's acting a lot like a judge. what he saying, is if we're gonna make these allegations, make them sworn, under oath, and bring proof, starting with, did the fbi plant the classified documents at mar-a-lago. he's trying to speed up the process, which, is put up or shut up. >> how do you think, nick, trump's lawyers will respond to? this >> i think they're gonna hide under the rocks. this whole thing is designed, basically, to get donald trump to come forward with a sworn statement, under oath, saying that yes, stuff was planted by the fbi, or the fbi move things around and they are not where they say they were, or there is
11:00 pm
other stuff that is not on this inventory. so basically he's the only witness, the only guy who can say this, and so what they're forcing donald trump to do is to take what he has done on fox news and actually come forward with real evidence in the court of law that is admissible, it's about speculation, that's not a super conspiracy theory, that he's been spewing all over the pace and come down and really show that he has got something. and he doesn't. the lawyers are never going to let him do that, because if he puts in a sworn statement, he is leading himself open for another charge of lying under oath to a federal court. so the bottom line is, he is toast. there is nothing he can do. [laughs] >> there is a consistency problem here, as he said many times, they're all kinds of things in those boxes, i didn't know what was in those boxes. so it's very hard to get from i didn't have an idea what was in the boxes to i know they planted things. do you agree with that? >> i completely agree. judge dearie is a no nonsense judge. he's not going to take pr statements and say that that has any merit in his court.
