department's investigation into former president trump. we're learning new details from an overnight doj filing in response to trump's request for an independent review of the materials that would be known as a special master following the search of mar-a-lago earlier this month. the doj argues appointing a special master, quote, is unnecessary and would significantly harm important governmental interests including national security interests. the doj points out government review teams have already finished their work and a third party reviewing the documents only would impede the ongoing criminal investigation. the filing also reveals the justice department brought a search warrant for mar-a-lago after obtaining evidence that highly classified documents were likely moved and hidden and that trump's representatives had falsely claimed all sensitive material had already been returned. quote, the government also

developed evidence that government records likely were concealed and removed from the storage room and that efforts were likely taken to obstruct the government's investigation. it goes on to state three classified documents that were not located in boxes, but rather were located in the desks in the 45 office were also sealed, end quote. the doj also included a picture of the documents seized during the fbi's search of the former president's florida estate, several of which clearly are marked "top secret." in all, the filing says more than 100 unique classified documents were seized. some of the documents were so sensitive, fbi agents and doj attorneys needed additional security clearance just to review them. the doj filing reveals the fbi recovered twice as many classified documents than were returned by the trump team, casting doubt over their claim that there had been a diligent search following the grand jury subpoena in may.

joining us is peter baker and ryan riley. ryan you've been poring through this document that came in just after midnight last night, 36 pages in all. it's a response to trump's request for a special master. they said here are some of the receipts, particularly with that photograph. >> that's right. to me, one of the most interesting things that filled in more of the details about what happened in june. as you laid out, there were 15 boxes that were turned over, 14 of which of those boxes had classified information in them. after that grand jury subpoena was issued in late may and executed in early june, you had a situation where there were a number of documents turned over

to the government. that's what we learned more details about last night on top of all this other information, was that there were 17 documents in there that were marked top secret, 38 unique documents that bore classification markings. that's an interesting component of this because after in response to this grand jury subpoena trump officials turned over a bunch of documents they weren't supposed to have, setting aside they weren't supposed to have any presidential records. they turned over a bunch of documents that were top secret. even after that, two months later, lo and behold after the fbi actually searched mar-a-lago, they found all of these additional documents and all of these including in trump's own office. included in this filing last night was the detail that some of those documents were found directly next to those passports. the passports thing is interesting because there's a

lot of controversy about the seizure of trump's passport. but it does suggest that trump was deeply involved in this because they were found in his personal desk and right next to his passports. >> there are top secret documents casually stashed in the desk drawers. what this filing from the justice department lays out is not only were the documents taken from the white house to mar-a-lago, not only were they concealed there and hidden, but then the attorneys for donald trump, that team lied to the justice department, lied to the fbi that it had given everything. yes, you came, we answered your request, here's everything. it wasn't everything. >> that's right. it wasn't everything. the document signed by trump's lawyer believed to be christina bobb has been redacted from the document. it says a diligent search was made and everything had been turned over. whether she knew that was untrue or if she was herself misled,

obviously we don't know. but it's not true that everything was turned over, not even close. that's what's important about this filing last night, which emphasizes something we also saw in the last filing last week. this is not just a question about whether laws were violated. it's an investigation into possible criminal obstruction. not, oh gosh, we just took some documents we shouldn't have had or we had documents we disagreed on whether he's allowed to have it or it's declassified. what the justice department is saying here in this document filed last night is the president or the people around him potentially violated the law by trying to hide and keep the government from knowing what was going on. that is a whole different level of crime if it's something the justice department decides to pursue. that brings this to a whole bigger level.

>> ryan, question for you about what we know so far. stop me if it's something we don't know. we do know that donald trump had these documents and he has not denied that he had these documents, am i correct? >> i think you're right. he made some assertion that he declassified some of the documents in regards to, quote, unquote, russia gate. but i don't think he has a bigger excuse for having all these classified documents. >> so it's also true that there were issues and delays in returning these documents. so if those two points are true, is that in itself any type of violation right there, just what we know so far? >> it is, but i think when you're making a prosecutorial

decision, typically in these cases there has to be some sort of aggravating factor. i think the aggravating factor here is the idea there was an interference with an ongoing investigation. that seems to be what they're solely focused on. i think that getting back the documents was an important component of this investigation, but clearly from the filing last night, that's not solely what this is about. this wasn't only about getting those documents that belong to the government back. this was about an obstruction of justice investigation, because donald trump had all of that warning over months and months that these documents did not belong to him. even after receiving a grand jury subpoena, he continued to hold onto a boat load of classified documents. it's pretty damning overall.

>> by the way, trump's legal team keeps inviting this information being made public by asking for a special master and all these other things. >> it's definitely sort of an own goal here. they've invited this upon themselves. all these filings from the doj wouldn't be made unless they went through and made this initial filing. >> exactly. mika, i'll spare you the full post, but the former president is on his social media site today saying, it's terrible the way the fbi haphazardly threw documents all over mar-a-lago. >> wow. i'm glad i'm not on truth social. the qanon stuff was just horrid yesterday, spreading conspiracy theories and crack ideas. donald trump has hired former florida solicitor general chris

kise to defend him from the investigation into the potential mishandling of classified material. joining us on that hire is meredith mcgraw from politico. tell us about this new edition to trump's legal team. >> chris kise is a top attorney in florida. he was the former florida solicitor general. he has argud four cases in front of the supreme court successfully. he's argued numerous cases in front of florida's supreme court. he's very well connected politically in the state of florida. he served as counsel for the transition teams for florida governor ron desantis and before that rick scott. he also served as a counsellor for charlie crist. he's something who's very well known in the state of florida and who's seen as sort of a top legal mind here. his joining the trump legal team

really comes at such an important moment for them, because they've really struggled to make their case here. >> as you point out, it's extraordinary this is a real lawyer. he's being represented right now in the mar-a-lago case by the former host of an obscure conspiracy tv network. you're also reporting that the republican national committee is not picking up the legal bills for this one. why is that significant? >> yeah. this is an interesting detail that we reported yesterday. the rnc, a source told me they are not going to be paying for trump's legal bills in this instance. this is sort of a departure from what we've seen lately. the rnc has covered trump's legal bills, for example, with the new york attorney general leticia james investigation into trump's businesses. the rnc people have said in the past that's because they believe these cases were politically

motivated. i wasn't given a reason in this case for why they won't be paying these bills, but trump is on his own when it comes to paying for his defense here. >> he's been raising an awful lot of money, more than $100 million off of this stuff. so there's plenty of money for him to defend himself. so peter baker, all of these new filings from the justice department seem to ratchet up the pressure on merrick garland to do something about this. many legal experts and observers we've talked to say just on the publicly available information we have, how could you not indict the former president on this? what is the thinking on that and on the pace of the investigation inside the justice department from what you've heard? >> i think you're right to point out that merrick garland has decided in effect to make the case publicly through these filings. if former president trump is going to make allegations and make untrue assertions, then the justice department rather than

replying on social media or through public statements is going to use these legal opportunities that the former president provided to do it in court and to do it in a public session that allows the american public to evaluate some of what's going on. you're right, the facts laid out so far are pretty stark. i think they do raise the pressure on the attorney general. you can't simply say, okay, all these things have happened, we think they're really terrible but in the end we're not going to do anything about it. he's been very wary about the idea of possibly indicting a former president, there's not a precedent for that. there's a lot of concern about what would that do in terms of public reaction. would it seem political? would it seem legitimate? how would you make clear it's not a partisan effort? all these factors are in his head beyond just the simple checklist of did it violate a particular law or not.

he's been a very cautious person so far. >> i just wonder if a prevailing factor would be -- i mean, look at these documents. we don't know what's in them. but as it becomes apparent to doj officials, can you imagine the message it would send to adversaries and friends around the world if there was no consequence for stealing private information on foreign leaders, for example? let's start with some of the information that's already been reported. the message it would send if there was no consequence, it really actually undermines our supremacy in the world. it undermines our strength in the world. it undermines this country on every level in terms of national security, but also trust around the world. >> i think that's the real

argument here. that's the fundamental argument that goes beyond the red letter of the law specifically, is what kind of statement are we trying to send as a democracy. you're right. this is also january 6th and a lot of other issues for which he has been investigated. if there were no accountability simply because you're a former president, then do you send the message of the traditional american mantra of no person is above the law doesn't really apply here? or the flip side is do you activate or say 30 or 40% of the american public will not accept it and believe there's something illegitimate going on here and therefore damage the credibility of the american system. that's the fundamental argument i think merrick garland is wrestling with beyond the specific tenants of a statute on the books. coming up, president biden sets the tone for democrats,

declaring they are the party of law enforcement. chairman of the house democratic caucus congressman hakeem jeffries will be here. we'll look at the life and tragic death of princess diana and how it's shaped the royal family over the last quarter century. 25 years to the day she was killed in a car crash in paris. and we are remembering mikhail gorbachev this morning.

about two years ago i realized that jade was overweight. i wish i would have introduced the fresh food a lot sooner. after farmer's dog she's a much healthier weight. she's a lot more active.

and she's able to join us on our adventures. get started at longlivedogs.com - common percy! - yeah let's go! on a trip. book with priceline. you save more, so you can “woooo” more. - wooo. - wooo. wooooo!!!!! woohooooo!!!! w-o-o-o-o-o... yeah, feel the savings. priceline. every trip is a big deal.

fierce fighting continues this morning in southern ukraine, where ukrainian troops are mounting a counter offensive against russian forces. this as inspectors arrive in the country trying to prevent a disaster at europe's largest nuclear plant. nbc's meghan fitzgerald has the

latest. >> reporter: fresh artillery strikes by the ukrainians on the front line while a dangerous mission to avoid a disaster is under way. in the south, the ukrainians are on the attack and gaining ground. the counteroffensive launched monday to take back territory in the region of kherson seems to be working. meeting in kyiv with president zelenskyy u.s. senators rob portman and amy klobuchar offering support. >> now there's a counteroffensive happening in the southern part of ukraine where a few villages were liberated even today. >> reporter: but russia tightening its grip across much of the donbas in the east, two schools blasted by shells just days before the start of school and fresh attacks almost daily in kharkiv. this as inspectors from the international atomic energy agency are making the dangerous journey to the zaporizhzhia nuclear plant.

but the russian military could be calling the shots. the inspectors will cross into russian held territory that's recently come under heavy shelling. a russian installed official in the region says the inspectors will have one day to inspect the massive facility, saying they'll be allowed to inspect two of the six reactors and lingering questions around if the team will be able to speak to employees without the watchful eye of russian guards. a critical trip that the globe will be watching. >> the number one is the report for the world. the second thing is that they step up and talk about the need for demilitarized zone. they can do that because this is all about nuclear safety. mikhail gorbachev, the final leader of the soviet union and a key figure in helping to end the

cold war died yesterday after what russian state media reports was a long and grave illness. born in 1931 in the western part of the country, gorbachev rose through the ranks of the communist party. after learning a law degree at moscow holding the party's top position in 1985, he led the soviet union away from communism and into capitalism. in the late '80s gorbachev refrained from sending in tanks to crush pro-democracy demonstrations. one day after his resignation, the ussr officially dissolved. mikhail gorbachev was 91 years old. let's bring in the editor of the new yorker, pulitzer prize

winning author david remnick who has chronicled the new russia that has emerged from the former soviet union. david, your thoughts on what really is the legacy of mikhail gorbachev? >> well, i think he was in so many ways a great figure in history who was the pivotal person in ending the cold war. ronald reagan certainly played a role in decades of foreign policy beginning in the post war era were crucial, but mikhail gorbachev was the decisive figure in this. he liberated the people who had been under totalitarian rule for 70 years and centuries of authoritarianism. he liberated the study of history and literature and journalism. he had the sense that, as he put it, we cannot live this way any

longer. he did not have to do this. as a leader, he could have just kind of kicked the can down the road, made slight improvementsi. he took an enormous gamble and at times he didn't know where that would lead. there was an enormous risk. but he won over western leaders. he liberated eastern and central europe. i mean, there are millions of people who owe their liberation to his decision to do that. so this was triggered in some small part by the nuclear disaster at chernobyl in 1986 when they realized the infrastructure of this country was crumbling and they had to give real information to the people. now we see a nuclear plant in ukraine under attack by vladimir putin, who despised what mikhail gorbachev did.

there's a certainly kind of terrible pattern to what's happened historically. putin feels that he is in ukraine now trying to reverse the era of gorbachev. >> so peter baker, let's start right there, actually. not just the power of the legacy of mikhail gorbachev and what he was able to accomplish, but how much has been lost and dismantled really since vladimir putin took power. >> i think that's exactly right. david, of course, is the expert and we all have followed his footsteps there. but the vision that mikhail gorbachev espoused and tried to realize and this invasion of ukraine is the ultimate manifestation of that. gorbachev, as david said, allowed not only eastern europe but even the parts of the soviet union to break apart and become independent. it wasn't his goal aptd he didn't necessarily want ukraine

to become independent. he could have sent in troops. he didn't do that. ukrainian broke off and became independent because of the forces gorbachev set in motion. he decided basically that even if he was reluctant, he would allow it to happen today. vladimir putin is trying to reverse that. you saw the vision begin to crumble from the very beginning. at the beginning of putin's first term, the first person we went to see was gorbachev. you could see even in 2001 how he was struggling with the reversal of what he tried to do. he supported putin at first. he thought putin could be a successful modernizer in some way. but over time i think gorbachev came to realize putin was the antithesis of everything he had tried to do for his country starting in the 1980s. >> in '89 when the communist

system crumbled around the world and gorbachev was given the nobel peace prize in 1990 there was the old line that gorbachev could have one a presidential election in any country in the world except in russia. how do russians today feel about him? we know how vladimir putin and his allies feel as they try to undo what they feel the damage is that gorbachev did. what is the sentiment nationally in russia about gorbachev? >> it ranged from a tiny number of people admiring him to a broad number of people being indifferent to him. after all, 30 years has passed. to a large number of people who loathe him. after all, the people in russia and elsewhere live inside a kind of propaganda silo or vacuum. they've been hearing from putin how terrible that period was. implicitly and sometimes explicitly that gorbachev

triggered what putin calls the greatest tragedy in geopolitical history, certainly of the 20th search and that is the collapse of the soviet union, which gorbachev did not want. gorbachev wanted to keep the union together in some way. >> editor of the new yorker david remnick, thank you so much for joining us this morning. now to a few other stories making headlines around the world. more than a thousand people, including over 350 children, have been killed this year by monsoon rains and flooding in pakistan. the pakistani army is helping with relief and rescue operations as the government pleads for international aid. more than 1 million homes have been destroyed and more than half a million people are in displacement camps. pakistan typically sees three or four rain cycles during the monsoon season.

so far this year it has seen eight. the u.s. says it will provide $30 million in humanitarian assistance. at least 33 million people have been affected by the flooding. back here at home, jackson, mississippi, remains in a state of emergency this morning. the city's water system has been shut down due to that massive flooding, leaving 200,000 people without clean water. it's not a new problem in jackson. >> reporter: this morning in jackson, mississippi, residents are already lining up for limited supplies of water. the governor declaring a new state of emergency, calling in the national guard to help distribute water to 180,000 people. >> this is not a situation that's going to be solved immediately and it's not going to be solved overnight. >> reporter: if you're lucky enough to get water from the tap, it has to be boiled. caprice young says her kids'

schools have no water, forcing the district to implement virtual learning this week. it also means showering at a relative's house and spending $100 a week for bottled water. >> we have to boil water to cook, to wash dishes, to brush our teeth. >> reporter: football hall of famer deion sanders says his players and other students here need to be supported. >> in the city of jackson we don't have water. right now we're operating in crisis mode. >> reporter: for many more residents, the wait for water could be long. what's your message to the people that had to leave empty handed today? >> we do have water in the system. we are putting it in the city's distribution system. over the next 24 to 36 hours we will see significant numbers of the truckloads of clean water. >> reporter: as officials do what they can, friends and family are relying on each

other. stephanie spent $90 on this one grocery run to make sure her elderly parents had water. >> it is a complete shame that this is not a new thing. water challenges have been there for years. coming up next, president biden feeling some new momentum. plus, will a series of wins in congress translate to the ballot box this fall?

want a permanent solution to homelessness? you won't get it with prop 27. it was written and funded by out-of-state corporations to permanently maximize profits, not homeless funding. 90% of the profits go to out-of-state corporations permanently. only pennies on the dollar for the homeless permanently. and with loopholes, the homeless get even less permanently. prop 27. they didn't write it for the homeless. they wrote it for themselves. man 1: have you noticed the world is on fire? record heat waves? does that worry you? well, it should.

about two years ago i realized that jade was overweight. i wish i would have introduced the fresh food a lot sooner. after farmer's dog she's a much healthier weight. she's a lot more active. and she's able to join us on our adventures. get started at longlivedogs.com 35 after the hour. pennsylvania's democratic senate candidate john fetterman will not participate in the debate next week against his republican opponent dr. oz. fetterman said he is still recovering from a stroke. he called out the oz campaign for appearing to mock his recovery. the oz campaign released a list of what it called concessions it would be willing to make if fetterman would participate in

that debate. they listed paying for any additional medical personnel fetterman might need on standby, permitting fetterman bathroom breaks and allowing him to have his notes in front of him along with an earpiece so he could have the answers given to him by his staff in realtime. fetterman hit back writing, my recovery may be a joke to dr. oz and his team but it's real for me. i will not participate in the debate but look forward to a real discussion about how we can move forward once dr. oz and his team are ready to take this seriously. it's not unreasonable for voters to want to see john fetterman up there debating his ideas and policy positions. but there is this tone that everyone has adopted in the republican party it seems from donald trump trying to be mini trumps, which is to just to be a

jerk as a strategy. >> yeah. it's very trumpy this statement that dr. oz put out yesterday. something ironic about a doctor making fun of somebody else's medical condition. he's trying to inject that into the race. he's trying to make that an issue to possibly get traction, because he's not doing well. this is an important race for republicans. if they're going to take over the senate, they have to win this one. it's a republican seat. they have to hold onto it. it's one where they're facing a real problem. dr. oz has been a weak candidate compared to where he ought to be in a state where republicans have enjoyed some success. the question is whether voters think fetterman's medical issues are legitimate to have second thoughts about him or whether they reject the kind of mockery we saw in that statement. that's going to be a really

interesting question in the next few weeks. president biden meanwhile was in pennsylvania yesterday, where he laid out his plan to combat gun violence. dubbed the safer america plan, it called for funding to recruit and train police, investment in services to address the root causes of crime and common sense gun measures such as comprehensive background checks and a ban on assault weapons and high capacity magazines. the president called out republicans for refusing to fund the police in his public safety plan proposed last year. >> when it comes to public safety to this nation, the answer is not defund the police. it's fund the police. the point is, we ask so much of you, so much of you. i've not met a cop who likes a bad cop.

there's bad in everything. there's lousy senators, lousy presidents, doctors, lawyers. no. i'm serious. but i don't know any police officer that feels good about the fact that there may be a lousy cop. i'm tired of not giving them the kind of help they need. folks, look, we're in a situation in this country where we have to give them additional resources they need to get their job done. every single republican member of congress, every single one in this state, every single one voted against the support for law enforcement. they talk about how much they love it. they voted against the funding, flat out, flat out. every republican in the house, every republican in the senate, every single one. >> joining us now democratic congressman hakeem jeffries of new york.

he is chairman of the house democratic caucus. very good to have you on the show this morning, congressman. listening to president biden last night in pennsylvania, he still plans to address the nation thursday night. what can we expect to hear from him, and how much of what the president has to say about maga republicans will democrats be using in the run-up to the midterms in their argument as to why they should be reelected or elected? >> good morning. it's great to be with you. it's my expectation that president biden will both articulate the list of accomplishments that we have delivered for the american people and putting people over politics and fighting hard to lower costs for better paying jobs and safer communities, but also draw the contrast between the values that we are fighting to uplift, make life better for everyday americans, lean in to freedom and opportunity and

democracy and draw the contrast with extreme maga republicans. they are extreme when it comes to wanting to criminalize health care and impose a nationwide ban on abortion. they are extreme when it comes to wanting to eliminate social security and medicare in five years and they are also extreme when it comes to our democracy. apparently they don't believe in it anymore. >> president biden appears to be on a roll when you look at accomplishments, landmark legislation on a number of levels. yet his approval ratings are beginning to creep up. those in the know might even argue they will creep up higher as time goes by and his accomplishments really are set in motion. having said that, there are reports that some members of congress running for reelection may not want the president to be at their side.

is that wise, do you think? >> every individual member is going to have to make their own decision. we have an extraordinarily talented and accomplished and hard working group of front line members of congress who have delivered a lot for the american people. i can say that i expect that we are all going to lean into the same record. it's an extraordinary record. we passed the american rescue plan, saved the economy, put shots in arms, money in pockets and kids back in school, passed the infrastructure investment and jobs act that will create millions of good paying jobs, fix our crumbling roads, bridges, airports and mass transportation. we passed gun safety legislation for the first time in 30 years that is going to save lives. passed the chips in sciences act to bring jobs back home to the united states of america. and of course passed the inflation reduction act, lower energy costs, fight the climate

crisis, lower health care cost and drive down the price of prescription drugs. that's a record we can all embrace. i'm thankful for president biden's leadership in that regard. >> as you know, mr. chairman, there are republicans frustrated that donald trump continues to put himself at the center of the conversation. heading into the midterms, they feel like they had a good shot at getting a wide margin in the house and taking the senate as well. do you think democratic candidates should be talking about donald trump and what happened at mar-a-lago where there's a new development every day from the justice department? is that an important part of the conversation, or should they purely look forward? >> it's important to lean into the issues, which we have and will continue to do, lowering costs, better paying jobs, safer communities, but also to draw a contrast with what the extreme maga republicans represent, which are values inconsistent with the american people. we should lift up democracy and

freedom and opportunity because that is what we are fighting to continue to protect and deliver for everyday americans and point out that you have a republican party that has been radicalized by the former twice impeached out of control so-called 45th president of the united states where appropriate. we are still dealing with the implications of that radicalization and extremism in the modern day gop that will be on the ballot in november of 2022. >> chairman of the house democratic caucus, congressman hakeem jeffries, thank you very much for being on the show this morning. up next, remembering princess diana, who died 25 years ago today. how her legacy still impacts the royal family. how her legacy still impacts the royal family and consumes, replacing thought with worry. but one thing can calm uncertainty.
