i am ari melber. we're tracking new breaking news about donald trump's unprecedented legal problems. today, august 10, 2022, a former united states president pleaded the fifth, raising the topic of his own criminal culpability in a legal proceeding. donald trump spent six hours dodging questions at a deposition. you could see him leaving there in new york today. he stated he pled the fifth under the advice of counsel declining to answer the questions. this striking legal development, which we'll get into comes just two days after august 8, 2022 when the fbi searched a former president's home. both developments show the depths of donald trump's legal problems. neither means that he is in a legal sense guilty of anything to be precise. both mean that the concerns about donald trump's guilt about law breaking, about criminal evidence and criminal activity stretch from the highest levels of the doj to a separate new york probe to inside donald trump's mind. only he can make the decision that he made today

"the beat with ari melber" starts right now. hi, ari. i've got to know. what do you think the trump people are going to do tomorrow before 3:00? >> that is a big question we're about to get into, john. i think they have a hard choice to make that merrick garland is forcing them to make that otherwise they didn't know they were going to make so i don't know if they even know. good to see you, sir. i want to welcome everyone into "the beat." you know what we're doing here, we're beginning with breaking news. the u.s. government searched the home of its former leader for criminal evidence this week. now today for the first time, the chief law enforcement officer of the united states, attorney general merrick garland, spoke out about that unprecedented legal action and he explained to the nation in brief, spare, objective and at times even honestly dry terms what exactly they are doing, and that this grave step was taken carefully after the attorney general says they exhausted the other less intrusive options and, he put it on record for the nation, that he p

i am ari melber. let me start with this question -- is there evidence to support indicting former president trump? and what would that legal step entail? would it be unprecedented? why is this in the news tonight? we have answers we think to those questions in our new special report that's come up tonight in this program after our top story. we begin with the breakthrough for president biden. that is a top story, and by now everyone in the news and politics knows about this. it is a big deal any way you cut it. the senate passing the bill that's supposed to cut inflation, cut drug prices with new negotiating measures for medicare. democrats on offense today making public appearances throughout the nation to tout the very moment when the bill pass without a vote to spare in the senate. >> the yeas are 50. the nees are 50. with the senate being equally divided, the vice president votes in the affirmative, and the bill as amended is passed. >> as amended, that is the bill. the inflation reduction act. th
