thank you so much for joining us tonight. don't go anywhere because don lemon tonight starts right now. >> don't go anywhere. well shls except for kasie hunt. >> i have to say good night. i will have you on. >> see you soon. thank you so much. this is "don lemon tonight." there is news brewing that we are going to try to get to this hour. you'll find out what it is. it involves a herschel walker thing. but we are checking on that to make sure everything is okay with the reporting. we are learning that more and more about those boxes and boxes and boxes and boxes of material, what was in them, including classified documents the former president took to

mar-a-lago. clemency requests, irs forms and entryingly paperwork that appears to be related to the 2020 election, even an email accepting trump's resignation from the screen actors guild, or sag as they call it in the business, according to a justice department list that was apparently inadvertently posted publicly and reported by bloomberg news. that as we have more secretly recorded awedudio from an alleg 2020 oath keepers meeting played in the trial of the far right militia group on seditious conspiracy charges. watch this. >> if the fight comes, let the fight come. if they go kinetic on us, we'll go kinetic back on them. i'm willing to sacrifice myself for that. >> other defendants discussing what weapons are legal to bring into washington, d.c. that according to prosecutors.

>> tasers are legal. stun guns are legal. it doesn't hurt to have a lead pipe with a flag on it. >> no weapons, right, according to only people? right. the secret recordings are the first major piece of evidence prosecutors used to try to establish how the oath keepers allegedly planned to oppose the peaceful transfer of power. what else will it take to make their case? and then there is president joe biden visiting the hurricane zone in florida, promising long-term federal aid and putting aside his differences with governor ron desantis for now anyway. >> i think he is doing a good job. >> also the president having a

hot mic moment with mayor ray murphy of fort myers beach with some true joe biden fashion, we call it some colorful language. listen. >> can't argue outside the house. >> good to see you. >> so biden's words are difficult to make out. the full context of the conversation isn't clear. the white house immediately -- did not immediately respond to a cnn request for comment. plus, tonight maggie haberman is here with new details from her blockbuster book confidence man. the making of donald trump and the breaking of america. i want you to listen to what the former president tells her about why he doesn't think the allegations against herschel walker's personal life would be a problem for him, and i quote here, it's a personal history

that ten years ago maybe it would have been a problem. 20 years ago would have been a bigger problem. i don't think it is a problem today, trump said. why is that, she asked? why do you think that? that's changed, she said. because the world is changes, he said. he did not acknowledge that it was changing because he had helped change it. maggie haberman will be here in moments. i want to bring in cnn's senior political analyst john albalon and jim walder a former federal prosecutors and jennifer rogers, former assistant u.s. attorney for the it district of new york. john, i'll start with you. this inadvertent court filing revealing some of what the doj seized from mar-a-lago, what's in there? what is this about? >> look, it's embarrassing. it's revealing to the extent it gives you some insight into what was being hoarded by the ex-president. but it's hard to say how much detail there is.

this is all sort of, you know, penny annie stuff. phone records, a medical letter. there is no smoking gun that's evident in this list that is provided. but it shows how granular this information is going to get and be for us. >> jennifer, listen, you know this better than anyone else, does this list show that the doj system filtering out material that it's actually working here? how does something -- how do documents like this get out to the public? >> well, this document got out to the public by mistake. doj shouldn't have filed this document. this was a mistake. what it shows is that they have a process in place and, yeah, that process is working. the things that they are separating are things that might potentially be privileged. one thing that's interesting, it's hard to tell from the descriptions, but a lot looks like it's not ultimately going to be privileged. they are putting aside things in an excess of caution that

ultimately i think that they will not need to keep away as privileged. >> you know he filed this, right, with the supreme court about certain documents. but does he have any claim over documents that were flagged like things that related to his business dealings or health? >> he will have claim to the personal documents that they decide should not have been seized under the search warrant. ultimately they will give some things back. i think a lot of that stuff isn't particularly exciting. >> according to the reporting, several other records on the list pertain to legal work for trump, lawsuits and other legal disputes. does that give trump a way to say, well, why did they get, you know, caught up in this sweep? why were they seized? >> i think of it as a low-hanging fruit list. a lot of that stuff looked like things that could be segregated but there were some things that looked like privilege. i agree with jennifer. to me overwhelmingly the list looked like the kind of list you expect. it shouldn't have been filed. but the list you would expect from a diligent process where they are trying to put documents

into different categories and make sure that all of the protections are there. so it's called the filter team. the filter team is working. >> so if the doj brings charges it wouldn't be on documents that they said, right? >> there is a process and ultimately it's judge dearie who is going to make the initial recommendation about which things stays privileged and goes back to trump and which things are not privileged or with where a privilege has been waived or if the document was used in a fraud or evidence as a fraud, it can be removed from the privilege under the crime fraud exception. so that's all something that the judge will decide in the first instance. judge cannon will decide finally. >> did you want to get into it? >> no, i was nodding in agreement. >> so, john, i want to bring -- this is new today, right? a federal appeals court is expediting a doj request to determine whether the special master should review those documents seized from mar-a-lago.

what impact could that have on the criminal investigation? should trump be worried about this? >> well, trump's core game is delay. we know this. this is one of the reasons he has been throwing the spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks with regard to seeing how far out he can get this and whether he can potentially delayer for president after the midterm elections and claim a special victimhood. any acceleration is not what he wants. but he is willing to throw the coyotes as long as he can, obviously, up to the supreme court. what's more revealing and we will get to this, some of the lies that trump and his allies have been saying about how the boxes ended up at mar-a-lago. bloomberg reporting showing that's not consistent with the truth. i know, shocker. >> shocker. jennifer, spell this out for us, if you will. t if the doj gets its way, would that make trump's request to the supreme court over that's classified documents moot? >> no. his doj is, they are appealing

the merits decision of judge cannon, what trump has asked the supreme court to decide is what happens with the 100 documents that are classified, whether the special master gets a hold of those. but what's so notable to me is that as john was saying, delay, delay, we have litigation at all three levels of the federal judiciary on a matter that should not have been litigated in the first place. only in rare occasions do special master issues ever get -- come about at all, right? in fact, that aren't included in this case. what's going to happen if he is charged? how much litigation on every single little issue to the supreme court? it shows you how protracted this will be if it happens. >> i think there is a point to the delay, too. i think the real fight is in that special proceeding that is secret in washington, d.c., where he is trying to block mike pence and other inner circle people, the center of the hub, from testifying and providing evidence. he is trying to slow everything down until that issue can get up to the supreme court. because the supreme court tipped

its hand in january about the executive privilege. for the first time there is a supreme court opinion that kavanaugh spelled out that at least he believes, and it seems like judge roberts may agree with him, that a former president can actually assert executive privilege. and if that's the law of the land, then trump could win a lot of carving back of evidence that doj would want for the investigation and the eventual charges if they are brought. >> a lot of heavy sighing from you. >> no. first of all i think it's a fascinating point. but also because he is talking about comments kavanaugh made before he was on the bench. i believe that he thought nixon versus the united states was wrongly decided. the ultimate gamble in a day delay by the ex-president. that would be a decimation of precedent. >> guess what?

we are all going to see. >> stay tuned. >> thank you all. appreciate it. the former president says he doesn't think herschel walker's complicated personal history is a problem. he told maggie haberman why and she is here next. isisn't that right phil? sorry, i'm a little busy. whatat in the world are you doing? i'm in the metavaverse, bundling my home and auto insurance. why don't you just do that in the real world? um, because now i can bundle in space. watch this. i still don't get it. save up to 25% when you bundle home and auto with allstate. click or call for a quote today.

i'm a vegas hotel. i know what you're thinking. it's cool, i don't want anything long term either. just a few nights of fun. i'm looking for someone who will let loose, dress up a little, see a show, order the steak, and the lobster. some people say i'm excessive, but who cares.

i just want to enjoy some late nights. and some very late checkouts. think you can keep up?

so one month until the midterms an election that will be a test of the former president's hold on the gop and the candidates he supports. that as the legal pressure is mounting here, especially over the investigation, the classified documents seized from his mar-a-lago beach resort. a perp who knows the former president well is here, maggie haberman. she is a cnn political analyst and a senior political reporter for "the new york times." her new book "confidence man: the making of donald trump and the breaking of america." it is out now. it is making news and waves and i'm surprised it continues to. thank you so much for joining us. i want to -- you talked about herschel walker in this book. this was a year ago. it is still going on to this day. all eyes are going to be on this, what's happening down in georgia, and whether or not, you know, herschel walker paid for this woman's abortion abortion

back in 2009. you talked to trump about walker a year ago. you said, you said that walker has a complicated special history, accusations of assault against women that worried over republicans. trump responded, he does, but do you know that is a personal history that's ten years ago. maybe it would have been a problem 20 years ago a bigger problem. i don't think it's a problem today, trump said. why is that? why do you think that's changed? because the world is changing, he said. he did not acknowledge that. it was changing because he had helped it to change. is that his "access hollywood" defense there? >> basically. i think that trump looks at everything as if i survived, i being him, he survived all manner of scandal in his opinion, survived all sorts of personal acc accusations and allegations, therefore -- he always denied them. we should mention that. therefore, other people can,

too. however -- and he started talking about herschel walker. he is infatuated with walker. he played for the football team trump owned many decades ago. this is not the same scenario. what walker is accused of, number one, there is a woman who is the mother of -- according to "daily beast" reporting, mother of one of his children involved in this allegation involving an abortion. there are other allegations about violence. it's just not quite the same. what trump was caught on tape saying, he has been accused of rape in one case, accused of sexual misconduct in a number of others. trump and every other politician are not the same. trump convinced a wide swath of voters over many decades he was a very successful tycoon and they felt bonded to him in a certain way. i don't think that walker is at that level with georgia voters, even with his sports celebrity. >> but listen. the "access hollywood" tape, i wondered if this was a, you

know, grab him by about the "p" moment of 2022. we don't know if it will hurt him. >> we don't. but i am willing to belief it's likel likely. >> i think that was probably the biggest armor in his cloak of invincibility, right, was the "access hollywood" thing having survived that. everyone thought it was over, right? >> correct. >> walker was on fox talking about allegations today. let's watch. >> have you figured out who it is? >> not at all. and that's what i -- i hope everyone can see, is sort of like everyone is anonymous, everyone is leaking and they want you to confess to something you have no clue about. >> you mentioned his, you know, "the daily beast's" reporting. that response is straight out of a trump playbook. what do you think of that? >> i think he is, as you said, using the trump standard of --

and trump didn't invent this. other politicians, deny, say something isn't true, question the credibility of the allegations. walker has gotten a distance from it, gotten to a paint. but i think it is just reaching a new phase for him right now, now that somebody is reported to be on the record talking about it. >> the midterms, that's going to be a test of his political capital as you know. we have been watching these races around the country all year and some of the trump-backed candidates, many have been winning. this will be a test of his political capital and the fracture in the gop right now. what do you think he would consider a win in november? >> a number of candidates who he endorsed winning. and he will, you know, he spins everything. he will say he had a terrific record even if it's a spotty record. in the case of walker, he will point to that if walker wins. other statewide candidates, j.d. vance in iowa.

i think if mehmet oz won in pennsylvania he would be extremely happy. doug mastriano if he wins for governor, that's a longer shot, he would be extremely happy. if he can point to a bulk of candidates he backed or who support his election denialism or support aspects of trumpism, consider that is a win. he says everything is a win or even if it isn't, you asked him what he took with him when he left the white house. this was before. >> that's right. >> this investigation into what happened at mar-a-lago. let's play it. >> did you leave the white house with anything in particular? are there any memento documents you took with you? anything of note? >> nothing of great urgency, no. i have great things there. you know, the letters that kim jong-un letters. i had many of those. >> you took those with you? >> look at what's happening -- no, i think that's in the

archives. but most of it is in the archives. but the kim jong-un letters, incredible things. incredible letters with other leaders. >> sound like he knew something there? >> the statement was very vague and toit meanders all over the place. he actually starts out denying something. my question was memento documents. i asked this on a lark because he was known to wave these kim jong-un letters around the oval office and show them to dignitaries, reporters, he was obsessed with them. he denies everything and then volunteers, mentions the kim jong-un letters. i thought he was suggesting he had them. he registered my surprise and back tracks and says, no, no, but we have great things. it was not clear at all what he was talking about. this exchange is far more interesting in hindsight now that we know what happened on august 8th with this fbi search of mar-a-lago. but his impulse is to immediately say, no, nothing. >> this is a conversation that is between the former gop

governor chris christie and then-candidate trump in the lead up to 2016. specifically trump support from white supremacists by david duke. besieged by other republicans, christi called trump to tell him he had be more forceful in distancing himself from his white supremacist backers. christi paul said trump to issue a strong statement. trump assured him that he would get to it, but it didn't have to happen too quickly. a lot of these people vote, trump said, and ended the call. over the weekend trump made a racist attack, as you know, against his former cabinet member, official elaine chao calling her cocoa chow. are we going to see more of this? >> i think so. he is leaning into it pretty aggressively. he has been much more since he left office. he was doing things like this in office as we know. he seems to be leading into racist statements. there was also a veiled threat

against mitch mcconnell, not so veiled, in that social media post where he said mcconnell has a death wish now. his backers say, no, no, he meant political. there is no justification or for doing something like that after january 6th because it's clear the impact his words have on his supporters. so i do think that we are seeing everything that he sort of hinted at or leaned into or left something open during the first campaign in 2016 and then the presidency and the 2020 campaign, i think you are going to see much more overtly now. >> listen, i know the answer to what you are going to say, but i think it's backed up by the evidence and i went on the air and said the former president of the united states -- i said the president of the united states at the time was racists and i gave the evidence of why i thought that. many said i can't believe you are saying that about the president. others said finally, you know, i can't believe you didn't say this sooner. do you believe that he is racist? >> i have gotten this question a lot in the last couple of case. i think he made a series of

racist statements over a long period of time and incorporated racial paranoia into his public persona and political persona for decades now. there were pieces of information that i learned occuduring the ce of reporting on this book. one was what you read. others related to car a young, a bi-racial model he dated in the 1990s. it's at a certain point his backers will say, no, no, he is being misunderstood. how many times is someone misunderstanding him? >> thank you, maggie. fascinating. i appreciate your honesty and appreciate you coming on.

so now less than five weeks until the midterm elections that decides who controls the house and who controls the senate. democrats are counting on the supreme court's decision overturning roe v. wade to work in their favor while republicans are hammering home inflation and rising crime across the country. let's get some perspective on this from representative cori bush, a missouri democrat, she is the author of the book the forerunner a story of pain and perseverance in america. glad to have her here. thank you for joining. appreciate it. >> yes. >> i have been wanting to talk to you about this. you actually talk about it in your books. but let's start with the midterms, okay? you have been one the most outspoken progressives in the house. but the political wind changed

over the last couple of years, as you know. there is a pretty strong backlash to things like defund the police. you have been getting a lot of questions about this. for example, did defund the police, did progressives go too far in hurting democratic chances in the far -- in the fall with slogans like defund the police? >> no, because the data has not -- there is no data that actually shows that saying defund the police costs actual elections. not that that one thing specifically did it. there were other factors. someone lost elections, you know, we look at what happened two years ago. there were other things at play. the way that they campaigned, how they didn't use zul technology, many other things. and when we talk about right now, we have republicans saying defund the fbi, you know. where are we -- where is our

narrative? democrats, there were nom democrats scaling walls on january 6th when i was at the capitol. they weren't the ones outside scaling walls. democrats didn't kill police officers. that came at the hands of those that felt like that their candidate should be the president of the united states. so defund the police is not the issue. but this is my thing with that. people are more upset about defund the police than they are about the fact that black people are still killed disproportionately in this country and with impunity. they won't fix the problem. fix the problem and i never have to say defund again. >> you were talking about what happened -- when you said scaling the wall, january 6th? >> yes. >> there were police officers that -- there was a police officer that was -- >> there was a police officer -- >> that died. if you could do it again, would you still double down or use that slogan, defund the police? >> absolutely. yeah. >> so listen, democrats gained some ground after roe v. wade was overturned and enraged women

across the country. republicans are pushing as i said in the open pushing inflation, crime, illegal immigration. do you think pocketbook or cultural issues will motivate voters more in november? >> more? no. i think it depends where people live. we have seen gas prices continue to go down. even though utility costs have gone up, the president has, you know, made steps to help lower inflation, you know. he used the defense production act recently for clean energy. i think that we have to look at everything that's on the table. right now the numbers have shown us that reproductive freedom, reproductive rights, talking about bodily autonomy has made a difference in elections recently. we see that people are still, the numbers are continuing to grow. as a matter of fact, there was a poll that came out in my state.

missouri was the first state to enact the trigger ban law. well, i'm going around the state in october 8th through the 10th into communities that where there are democrats, but also independents that may say, you know what? 60% of missourians say they don't want restrictions to abortions. hey, we need you to turn out to vote, get registered if you are not registered because what is at stake is that possibly there will be a national ban on abortion if we allow republicans to take hold of the house. >> and you talk about this in your book. you have come forward to talk about your personal experience with abortion. you have been forthcoming, very candid about this. what do you say to constituents who say they are losing a fundamental right, control over their own bodies and it is more than just another issue? >> it is more than another issue because people die when they don't have access to safe abortions. we are talking about people who need the procedure in order to stay alive.

we're talking about someone's personal decision. you know, i think about when i had my abortion, i was the only one on that table. that was a decision that i had to make. i would have been the only one to take care of that child. i was not in a position to take care of a child at that time. what happens when that child is born? years later i had a child and i was physically sick and i couldn't take care of my child. i couldn't go to work. and so then i got slammed for being on -- for food stamps. i got slafrmed for trying to get benefits when i could not physically work. which one is it? you know, do we want to fully fund our social safety net? the point is, it's someone else's body. mind your own business, you know? so i will continue to stand up for the freedom of people's reproductive health. >> you just mentioned it, but you are personal in your book, too, about including things that happened to you, terrible issues

you had. you talked about homelessness, domestic abuse, sexual violence. what is that like to be out there so publicly and put that down to write that down in a book for all to see? >> it is hard. i didn't -- i mean, who wants to b bare all for people to criticize them and attack them? but in this -- at this time we have so many people that are continuing to go through what i went through and some worse, and it's allowed. how can we fix this? if policy violence opened the door for some of this, then policy should be the reason -- should be a way for us to fix it. what i mean by that is if i couldn't afford to pay back my student loans. i was working a full-time job, couldn't afford to payday care, car note, student loans. right now president biden just made it so that pell grant

recipients, $20,000 forgiven. what that would have done for my life, how i would have been able to feed my children differently, been able to, you know, to not worry about the lights being on, not getting an eviction notice, how that would have changed my life is huge. and so but people need to know the steps that we've gone through to be here. and another thing with this book. people criticize me about, why do you fight so hard, keep pushing, saying those these things? because somebody is hurting the way i was hurting and i remember wondering who speaks for me? who is gonna help? how do i get relief? will relief ever come? well, i know what that feels like. i know that pain. i know what it's like to have your rape kit sit on the shelf for four months. i know what it's like not to get accountability or justice. to be brutalized by the police and you can't tell anyone because no one will help you. i know what it's like to be hungry. i know what it's like to live out of a car. i know.

so because i know, i got to use this power that i have and this seat to help and i have to do it as quickly as i can because people die when we don't act. >> thank you, cori. i interviewed you when you first were elected on my podcast. >> yes. >> i really appreciate you. i appreciate your candor. let's put the book up again. it's out now. "the forerunner by cori bush." check it out. >> thank you. and we've got news just in on herschel walker. "the daily beast" reporting the anonymous woman who says she had an abortion paid for by herschel walker is also the mother of one of his children. "the daily beast" agreed to withhold personal details about her, but the woman has now told them that she decided to share this after walker's denial of her allegation. she said she wanted to stay anonymous to protect her family's privacy. "the daily beast" reported the

woman provided proof she is the mother of one of walker's children but did not say how. cnn's senior political an nist john albalon. this is what i promised at the top of the show we were working on, new reporting, and he wanted to make sure it checked out before we did it. this is another bombshell, john, from "the daily beast" about this woman who came forward saying that walker paid for her abortion after a relationship in 2009, that she is the mother of one of his children. what is this going to do to the senate campaign in georgia? >> it should have a massive impact. and the woman came forward, apparently, according to the "daily beast" reporting, after walker denied having any knowledge of who she was. denied that, you know, denied the existence of this, saying he didn't know who this woman was, you know, despite the evidence put forward in the initial reporting and that caused her to come forward. again this is "daily beast" reporting. still not directly confirmed by

cnn. but in any rational political world the lie, the hypocrisy would be disqualifying. and i think what the question republicans in georgia have to confront is what is too much? the folks who rallied around him and said we take him at his word, we believe him, we want the policies, we don't care about the person, can that hold in the face of this level of hypocrisy and lying? is that the new normal? if you are a person of faith, given that he is running against a reverend, raphael warnock? when do we vote for the person, not the party? >> i played this. i want to play it again. this was him denying today that he knows the woman. listen. >> have you figured out who it is? >> not at all. and that's what i -- i hope everyone can see, is sort of like everyone is anonymous, and

they want you to confess to something you have no clue about. >> okay. this is her quote here still anonymous woman about walker's denial. sure i was stunned but u it doesn't shock me that maybe there are just so many of us that he truly doesn't remember, she said. but then again, if he really forgot about it, that says something, too. cnn has not independently confirmed the woman's allegation about the abortion or that she is the mother of one of his children. but talk, john, about how this whole scandal has been handled and how could he not know that this was coming? >> well, politico reported that the campaign knew something like this was out there, yet they were still unprepared to deal with it. the candidate seems to be embracing that donald trump playbook of denial, of lying where trump has normalized lies. anybody with a heart and soul

can look at that statement, that is every different kind of bad in the book. and so the self-identified pro-life groups who have been condemning abortion, they are going to stand by him after this. to what end? the people of faith whose faith drives their politics, stand by him after that? to what end? i mean, it's the definition of party over country. and we depend on people who don't just vote straight party line. this has to be disqualifying as a matter of character. if it's not, i think those voters are saying character doesn't count. >> it's the definition of double standard and hypocrisy, right? >> yes. >> the woman is a democrat who had a long relationship with walker even after the abortion and that she wanted to protect her family but still came forward. this is another quote. it has been very civil thus far. i keep my mouth shut.

i don't cause any trouble. i stay in the background, but i'm also not going to run over time and time again. i'm not going to get run over, excuse me, time and time again, she said. that's crazy. now, cnn did reach out to walker, the walker campaign, for comment. he flat out denied the original report. hard to believe this woman can remain anonymous. this is getting uglier and uglier. again, i cannot believe the doubling down on this story, especially when you consider what his son, christian walker, basically christian walker and this woman are kinda saying the same thing. >> they are. and if the people who know you best trust you least, that's all you need to know. i mean, to your point, over the course of this campaign, three previously unknown children of herschel walker have been identified. one would presume this woman will be identified. and her wanting to keep her

privacy is understandable. but in the face of this hypocrisy, this disrespect, this denial of her personhood, again, the question will be for the voters of georgia, for republican voters in georgia, voters who are voters of faith in georgia, if this isn't too much, what is? does character count? or is it just party over country, party over character. >> it's about power. people say they don't care or whatever he did and some even calling the woman a derogatory name. they just care about control of the senate, which is sad. >> you know, again, it's about the character of the people you send to the senate. and again, i mean, he is running against an actual reverend who sits and preaches from martin luther king's pulpit. >> if a christian or evangelical, a reverend or -- >> well, what we have been hearing at least until this revelation, as you and i know, many of our republican friends have been saying, so what?

at the end of the day, i want the vote. i want control of the senate. that matters to me more. but we have not seen the kind of shambolic incoherent, i mean, amoral lying of this woman in addition to the hypocrisy about abortion. >> a reverend or a hypocrite? >> that's it. >> thank you, john. appreciate it. again, the reporting is "the daily beast" reporting that the woman who came forward saying that walker paid for her abortion after a relationship in 2009 is the mother of one of his children. we'll be right back.
