judge and what stood out to you? >> the justice department made this filing in response to what the supreme court did this past summer. they ruled that trump and future presidents enjoy substantial immunity from prosecution for official acts. but the special counsel and his team maintained that trump was acting as a political candidate and not the president when he attempted to overturn the results of the election. this court filing today was filed under seal is short while ago. there has been some back-and-forth about how much the public should be able to see. the judge mostly sided with prosecutors and released this filing with some reactions. there is some really interesting

mentions of notes that mike pence took about this all being up to him. there is some new detail from prosecutors that maintained that trump was in the dining room knew the oval office tweeting on january 6 as mike pence was in danger. trump allegedly said to someone who asked him, so what? there is a lot of new color and vivid detail about his actions and his state of mind and his knowledge in those weeks. >> we knew this was an argument that jack smith was going to layout. even though trump is holding the official office of president, his scheme was a fundamentally private one. how does he make that case here and how compelling a case is it? >> he goes through all the

different facets of the scheme. the pressure on state legislatures. his comments not only at the but in the lead up to that. he emphasizes it at every step. how many co-conspirators were involved in these efforts. he makes a point about there being executive branch officials involved in these efforts. that shows his capacity as a candidate. when he is pressuring state legislatures and government officials, he is only pressuring republicans. he never calls the michigan democratic governor or secretary

of state. he only pressured republicans. he pressures state legislatures. he never refers to the election in general. you would expect to be calling into question a number of different facets of the election. but instead he focused only on himself. jack smith paints a vivid picture in his legal analysis and his application of the law. the law that the supreme court laid down. >> i want to underscore that moment you briefly mentioned about his reaction to learning that his vice president have been taken to a secure location. here is what is written out in

the filing. jack smith writes that on receiving a phone call about it, a redacted person rushed to the dining room. hoping that trump would take action. he looks at him and said, so what? what else do we learn from this about the many efforts vice president pence gave him? >> we learned a lot about conversations they had. they were advancing bogus claims. after they tried all kinds of other efforts in the courts and states they basically failed at all of those things and it came down to them for mike pence.

they put enormous pressure on him and try to signal that he had the power to overturn the will of millions of voters. he was not buying it. we get a lot of detail about that. he tells trump, why don't you try again? trump was not having it. he called mike pence on january 5 and the morning of january 6 and asked him to be tough. he was under enormous pressure. but the held firm and refused to go along with this. >> there are some newly disclosed details in here. much of it was known from the result of the january 6 hearings. the big question is what kind of impact will this have on the case moving forward? >> now it will be mr. trump's

legal counsel's turn to file a response to this and make arguments in opposition. he has argued that for each facet of the scheme, mr. trump's conduct and putting pressure on the vice president, the supreme court has said that is official. they can show through the evidence that prosecution for this illegal pressure on mike pence would not create any danger of intrusion on the functions of the presidency. for every other category, he argues that the acts are private and not official. he can rebut the presumption of immunity by showing the prosecution would have no danger of intrusion on the functions of the presidency. amy coney barrett pointed out
