at this hour, the fbi is in possession of confiscated documents removed from donald trump's mar-a-lago home. what specifically is the fbi looking for? to the ukraine where the u.s. has announced the largest aid package yet. new and severe sentences for the men involved in the federal hate crime killing of ahmaud

arbery a lawsuiy petito and the world looks back and remembers iconic pop star, olivia newton john glad to be with you on a tuesday. i'm frances rivera >> i'm phillip mena. we begin with breaking news. donald trump's mar-a-lago resort is the target of an fbi warrant. supporters and protesters gathered outside what was often called the winter white house during his administration. he was in new york at the time and declined to comment while leaving trump tower. >> mr. trump, can we get your reaction to the raid can we get your reaction to the raid, sir? >> but mr. trump did release a statement saying that his beautiful home was raided, under siege and occupied by a large group of fbi agents and they also broke into his safe at
4:02 am
mar-a-lago susan mcguinness joins us from washington, d.c. what do we know about what the fbi was looking for there? >> reporter: well, good morning, phillip and frances. a source familiar with the matter telling nbc news that the raid was tied to classified information that trump allegedly took when he left office they retrieved 15 boxes of information. they also were sasked to look into whether his handling of information violated any law trump supporters lining up last night to defend him, calling this action politically motivated. some of them expressing outrage, wanting to know the grounds for the search >> i was the guy who got the call this morning. i called my father to let him know it happened there's no family in american history that has taken more arrows in the back than the
4:03 am
trump family, every single time. and you know what? it's gone on past politics you look at attorneys general, district attorneys across the country, all think want to do is get donald trump >> merrick garland, chris wray, come to the house and answer our questions about this action today which has never happened in american history. what was on the warrant? what were you really doing what were you looking for in why not talk to president trump and ask for the information you're after. >> kevin mrkccarthy coming out with a tweet to merrick garland, to clear his calendar. a veiled threat there if the republicans win back the congress a lot of people speculating how is this going to impact trump's potential third run for president. some saying if he is found to
4:04 am
have mishandled classified documents he could be in violation after presidential records law which could bar him from ever serving in office again. one close to the former president saying that if he wasn't running before he definitely is now. but certainly, frances and phillip, this is a dunprecedent event, a search warrant on a former president's private residence. >> we're going to dig deeper into those questions in a moment former president trump's legal scrutiny with this grows even larger. he is now facing seven investigations and inquiries, including the latest fbi search at mar-a-lago. let's bring in dann dan'y self oes. >> a search warrant is not an
4:05 am
arrest warrant, but it certainly is more than a subpoena, because it indicates that the government wouldn't trust somebody with a subpoena to get all the documents they want. they want to secure the documents. of course it's never a good thing to have a search warrant executed at your home or office, it means that it's likely, well, what we know for sure is that to show a judge enough evidence to get a search warrant, the fbi had to show probable cause that there is evidence of potential criminal activity at the home or the office so we know that at least the mere fact that there is a search warrant tells us that a judge has, they have met that constitutional standard with a judge, a neutral, detached magistrate, who has issued this search warrant for them to go in and seize these documents. so never a good thing for anyone, whether you're a former president or just a regular person on the street but it does not absolutely
4:06 am
follow that president trump, former president trump, will be indicted >> as we just heard susan touch on some republicans have already reacted with fury. house minority leader kevin mccarthy has threatened the doj and warned merrick garland to clear his calendar what's the likelihood that the doj could eventually be investigated for this decision yesterday? >> highly likely if the republicans take the house or win big in the november elections. that we would see an investigation into the department of justice. i have every reason to believe that mccarthy will follow through on that veiled threat to bring merrick garland before the house and question him however, that is not likely to slow mer rick garland down. merrick garland has to be concerned about a lot more other things among those are the fact that executing a search warrant on a former president's home is going to draw a lot of jutescrutiny nw
4:07 am
york city no matter what. they know that this particular search warrant may be one of the more scrutinized search warrants ever in search warrant history >> past the midterms, past that to 2024. if trump runs again there and it turns out that he did break the law, talk about that and talk about how that may cost him the presidency if, in fact, there was a crime here. >> it certainly could cost home the presidency in a very strange set of affairs, it could be that the only thing that would prevent him from running would be impeachment proceedings and not necessarily pending criminal charges. but at the same time, merrick garland and the doj have to think about that we're coming into a number of different election seasons, not just the
4:08 am
midterms, the 2024 election you could argue is already starting now with former president trump. so merrick garland has to consider doj's policy to not interfere with elections what does that mean? if he has to charge a crime, he has said he will do so without fear or favor. that may mean indicting a president sometime during a campaign, which arguably has already begun. not an enviable place for merrick garland as he weighs those issues and issues of presidential immunity which may or may not apply to the former president. and a number of other issues that make the path to indicting trump very difficult >> watching where this fbi search goes and if that will impact an announcement from former president trump about his future, danny, as always, great to have your insight especially at this hour, thank you.
