is it strange that aileen cannon hasn't done anything to advance this case? would be looking for is the hearing on the classified information procedures act. there was a request by the government that be handled so everybody would have an understanding going forward of how the material would be addressed. the may be the reason she has not scheduled that hearing, it was once scheduled and canceled. is that the defense lawyers do not yet have their security clearances, and so the government is not yet able to turn over the material. that could be a reason not to hold that, but i imagine, though, if you're the government, your view would be, we don't need to give the material before we set the rules for handling the material. so imagine there is some frustration on their part. she's set a trial date, so it seems that things are moving at a reasonably good pace, but that's the one hearing i would look to be scheduled sooner rather than later. >> here's the thing, it's also interesting to me, and again, we can't judge whether a judge is going to be partial or impa

last month judge aileen cannon allowed mr. trump to review the documents at issue in his mar-a-lago club while he prepare said for trial. that request was fairly outlandish given the fact the charges in that case all stem from trump's decision to take classified documents down from mar-a-lago in the first place. special counsel jack smith's team argued that those documents should be treated like all other highly classified material and that trump's team should only be able to view them in a sensitive comparted information facility, what is known as a skiff. today judge kansas n issued her decision on this matter. it's important to note her judge cannon did not specifically deny trump's request to look at classified documents at a florida beach club, but she did not grant it either. any classified information the defense discusses with the defendant in any way shall be handled in accordance with this order including such requirements as confining all documents and materials to an accredited skiff or other location authorized by

believed by the jury, and we see similar trends in the mar-a-lago case where just today, judge aileen cannonshe will hold garcia hearings to look into possible conflicts of interests, if that becomes a sustainable narrative, it feeds into what we have already discussed, this notion that trump routinely engages in practices in an effort to obstruct justice. >> joyce and leah, you're going to stay with me a little bit longer. we have more both of you coming up. later tonht rachel maddow is sitting down with cassidy hutchinson for her first life interview since the january 6th hearings. that interview with rachel maddow is at 9:00 p.m. eastern. >>> up next, why the latest clarence thomas scandal is a big problem for him and for the supreme court as a key case blooms this fall. >>> and later, what to expect from the arraignment of senator menendez on federal corruption charges. r menendez on federal corruption charges. ... there are places you'd like to be. like here. and here. not so much here. if you have chronic kidney disease, farxiga can help you keep living life. ♪ farxiga ♪ and farxiga re

he appears to have a bit of a willing partner in judge aileen cannon, presiding over the classified documents case in florida. judge cannon, who trump appointed himself, is keeping that case moving at a snail's pace. we're coming up in a month since canon issued any meaningful order, or rulings in the mar-a-lago case. that's a general application of the word meaningful. legal experts have called those most recent rulings, ordering the two sealed filings submitted by special counsel jack smith to be struck from the record, quote, dolby and constitutionally dubious, and of course on trump's allies on the bench extend all the way up to the supreme court, where the conservative majority includes three justices he appointed. what's clear, especially from trump's perspective, his plan for the court is clear. he is going to find an issue in that most serious case against him, the federal election case, the one under judge tanya chutkan, about the greatest crime he's ever committed, and he's gonna try to get it before those justices on the supreme court. known trump will expect at least five conserva

reports, quote, the last month, the former lawyer of taveras, stanley woodward junior, asked judge aileen cannons overseeing the matter in florida, to strike him from the record, complaining that it had been improperly obtained through potential grand jury abuse. what does that mean for non lawyers watching? >> after a case has been indicted by federal prosecutors, you're not supposed to use the grand jury to obtain additional evidence in support of the crimes that they have already charged. they can, however, continue to use the grand jury to obtain evidence concerning different defendants, or evidence of additional crimes. so, that is the sort of notion that the lawyer was alluding to, that this grand jury activity is going on. but by itself, that doesn't really tell you much or conclusively determined any sort of misconduct because what actually happened here was in fact that the government obtained new evidence of a crime, and in fact charged that crime, right, and their superseding indictment. so, yes, i don't think that the claims of abuse are particularly compelling here at all. >> we wil

. >>> we have flutter in the jack smith documents case, where judge aileen cannon has a big decision to make, is she going to throw out the testimony of tabarras, the team member who's cooperating with the team. ken, good to have you. talk to me about the meadows appeal and the request he's making of the court while the appeal goes forward. >> he's requesting that the judge grant a temporary stay of his own order. which ruled obviously that mark meadows could not have his case removed to federal court but that it should go back down to state court. meadows is saying he could be irreparably harmed by this decision. he wants to appeal and have the judge put a pause on things while he appeals. if this judge doesn't do that, he's going to ask the appeals court to do that. generally you get a stay if you have a chance of winning on appeal, and this judge's opinion was pretty resounding that mark meadows didn't meet any of the tests to remove his case to federal court, and what the judge said is it was clear that mark meadows, when lobbying georgia state officials on behalf of donald trump

in a new decision, this afternoon, judge aileen cannon appears to have basically ignored one of the trump team's most recent requests in the entire classified documents case. last month, trump's lawyers asked judge cannon to allow mr. trump to view the classified documents that issue in his mar-a-lago club while he prepares for trial. that request was fairly outlandish, given the fact that the charges in that case all stemming from trump's decision to -- take classified documents to mar-a-lago in the very first play. special counsel jack smith team argue that those document should be treated like all other highly classified top material, and that they should only be able to view them in a sensitive facility, what is known as a scif. well, today, judge cannon issued -- judge cannon did not specifically deny trump request to look at classified documents at a florida beach club, but she did not granted grant it either. this is from her decision. any classified information with the defense discusses what any classified information defense discusses with the defendant in any way, she will shal

while at the same time not saying anything about the judge he appointed in the mar-a-lago case, aileen cannon doing any measures, or taking any measures. the perception that he thinks she's going to be favorable, that speaks for itself. stick around, we've a lot more to discuss after the break. we'll talk about the other big story of the, we kevin mccarthy's pathetic impeachment inquiry announcement, and his balance -- to the pressure of the extreme maga house republicans. ouse republicans my customer was enjoying her new car, when her windshield cracked.

district judge aileen cannon, limited former president trump's access to the case and barred him from publicly discussing sensitive material. despite trump's claims he had already declassified all the documents that fbi agents found when they searched his florida resort last year, the order refers to the materials in question as still being classified. and judge cannon wrote trump and his defense team can discuss or review the classified information only inside a court approved compartmentalized area or authorized area quote-unquote. it was a scif which was housed there during trump's presidency. a 16-page order by the trump appointed judge is largely in line with a proposal submitted in july by special counsel jack smith's team for how trump and his attorneys should handle national security information related to the case. judge cannon's ruling did not completely shut the door on trump's declassification arguments. she wrote that her order is, quote, entered without prejudice to any potential challenges including to our news raised under the presidential records act. meanwhile, forme

when it comes to the other federal judge overseeing a trial against him, florida district judge aileen cannonhe appointed in the waning days of his administration, as he was blocking the coup, actually. he's notably refrain from attacking her. and really doesn't seem to want to get her removed in this case. in the attempted coup case, his attack jack smith and the prosecutors, calling them a litany of derogatory names. trump established that attacking and threatening the prosecutors in this case would be his de facto method of fighting the case just three days after he was indicted, when he posted this in all caps, quote, if you go after me, i'm coming after you. now, what do you think the prosecutors in that office do with that? in fact, in this newly unsealed filing tonight, jack smith includes a screenshot of that post. he includes several screenshots of threatening posts, in fact. when it comes to that specific threat from august, trump made his clearest intent to issue public attacks related to this case, when the day after his arraignment, he posted a threatening message on truth social

aileen cannon.annon appalled the legal community when she ruled that the justice department could not use the over 100 classified documents found at mar-a-lago in their criminal investigation of the over 100 classified documents found at mar-a-lago. she said the doj had to wait, they had to wait until those documents had been reviewed by something called a special master, which she said would take until november 30th. november 30th! that would give the president way too much time to hide all the remaining evidence. i can imagine how he would stuff his thanksgiving turkey. [cheers and applause] the justice department warned cannon that they would appeal her ridiculous ruling unless she modified it in some way. she said she wouldn't. so they appealed it, and last night, the 11th circuit court of appeals ruled that the justice department can use the mar-a-lago documents in its criminal probe! oooh, boom! boom! awww, shucky ducky! something means something. it's happening! actions have consequences! i'm

i remind, you the court of appeals is the very one that when judge aileen cannon wrote some rulings that were way out to black, we check to the rulings right away. this is the same course that just this week rejected alabama's attempt to try and get around the voting rights act and say that's absolutely permissible. so, there is no real merit to this appeal. there is no real merit should donald trump try to file a motion for removal. every thing judge jones said yesterday about mark meadows applies and states to donald trump. >> one more thing, neil. there was one more footnotes that gave me pause. it is on page six. it says that one of the jurors voted against indicted loeffler and perdue because the jurors, quote, believed their statements following the november 2020 election, while pandering to their political base, do not give rise to their being guilty of a criminal conspiracy. why might that be music to trump's ears once this goes to trial? >> we have always known donald trump's defense here is, hey, i was just, you know, i thought i legitimately won the election. i was talking to

today, florida federal judge aileen cannon that was appointed by trump finally issued the simple possiblefied documents case about how classified documents will be handled. the judge agreed to every single point requested in writing by special prosecutor jack smith a month ago and did not agree to donald trump's request to allow him to re-classify documents in the case at his residence in florida. judge cannon said that the security officer assigned to the case, quote, shout established procedures to ensure it is accessible during business hours, and at other times on reasonable request is approved by the classified information security officer, in consultation with the court of the united states marshal service. the rules that judge cannon is required to impose on donald trump are, in effect, identical to the laws donald trump is accused of violating in the case. the judges orders say any unauthorized disclosure or mishandling of classified information may constitute violations of federal criminal law. and the judge also says contrary to donald trump's public claims that the documents be

i think some people were expecting him to be like the second coming of aileen cannon. we saw a judge today firmly in command of his courtroom, but also extraordinarily knowledgeable about georgia law, practical, and as you noted, not tolerant at all of the sort of conflagration of temperaments between him as the they accused each other of lying. >> lisa, katie, and ankush, thank you for being with us. it's so important we get to understand these issues. i thank you for helping us with that. >>> up next, the shocking thing that house speaker kevin mccarthy just told the republicans who are threatening to remove him from his position. we're back in 60 seconds. you're watching jose diaz-balart reports on msnbc. i have moderate to severe crohn's disease. now, there's skyrizi. ♪ things are looking up ♪ ♪ i've got symptom relief ♪ ♪ control of my crohn's means everything to me. ♪ ♪ ♪ control is everything to me. ♪ feel significant symptom relief with skyrizi, including less abdominal pain and fewer bowel movements at 4 weeks. skyrizi is the first and only il-23 inhibitor for

. >> quickly, there's news out of florida involving judge aileen cannon, and what she has decided aboutnald trump's ability to view classified material. >> donald trump and his lawyers wanted to look at and discuss classified material, not only in a special classified information facility, otherwise known as a skiff but perhaps as mar-a-lago as well, and she sort of said, no, but not quite. she said, you can look at that stuff and discuss it in a skiff or any other facility approved by the classified information security officer in this case, someone that she's appointed some time ago. >> lisa rubin, thank you so much for joining us, and we're going to talk about the other news that is out there and that is what's happening on capitol hill. it's getting dramatic over there as well. speaker kevin mccarthy's frustrations with his conference appear to have reached a boiling point. and two sources tell nbc news that mccarthy has dared his hard liners to quote, file the fudging motion if they want him out. except he didn't say fudge. >> i showed frustration in here because i am frustrated wi

perhaps in the way we're seeing things play out in judge aileen cannon's court in florida.s coleman skrr. donald trump's argument is designed to spoil the jury pool and get jurors to think presidential records act means he can have them, taint the jury pool. that seems to be the only explanation that makes sense to me. he cannot be dim enough to believe that because you're president for four years everything shown to you at that time belongs to you. that's like saying i stayed in this airbnb for four days therefore i can clean the place out and take it home with me. or i have a job and when i leave my job, i get to take everything in my office that was the work product of my profession and take it home. no one believes that. but do you think this is a successful attempt to poison the jury pool? >> joy, i'll put it this way. if i have $100 ipmy bank account and go to the bank and take $100 out of their safe without telling anyone or talking to anyone and walk out, it doesn't matter if can believe that money is mine. i'm going to jail for burglary because i have stolen $100.

district judge, aileen cannon, who he appointed, to somehow or another consider the fact that he was a candidate, and therefore, maybe, maybe, maybe his trial should be put off, until after the election. that seems to be like special treatment, if i've ever heard of it before. but i'm grateful that my colleague on the other side of the aisle is taking at these tax evasion very seriously. i would welcome also hearing on the former presidents history of tax evasion? and how long it took to see his tax returns covering ten years, and what was the outcome of that decision. you know, the trump organization was hit with one point $6 million in manhattan state court, being convicted of attacks scheme. let's be real when we talk about this. it's not just hunter biden. as long as we're seeing hunter biden, we need to get everything else. again, hunter biden -- i do not file taxes in two years, yes, i have a gun charge. all take responsibility for. i love the fact that we are so earned so much love with the irs. in fact, speaker mccarthy said, when he was elected on the 15th vote, that the fir

district judge aileen cannon limited former president trump's access to evidence in the case and barredal. despite trump's claims that he had already declassified all the documents that fbi agents found when they searched his florida resort with a warrant last year, the order refers to materials in question as still being classified. judge canon wrote that trump and his defense team can discuss or review the classified information only inside a court-approved, sensitive, compartmented information facility, or scif. or another authorized area. the judge did not mention the scif that trump's attorneys requested she reestablish at mar-a-lago, which housed one during the trump presidency. the 16-page order by the trump-appointed judge is largely in line with a proposal submitted in july by special counsel jack smith's team for how trump and his attorneys should handle national security information related to the case. judge canon's ruling did not completely shut the door on trump's declassification arguments. she wrote it is without prejudice to potential challenges, including arguments rai
