carrie cordero, someone took a different route in trying to defend donald trump. take a listen. >> you've got vice president, secretary of states and presidents handling this stuff. you had bill clinton with tapes in his sock drawer. i would like to review the system. but here is the point i'm trying to make. i think the espionage charges are completely wrong and i think they paint an impression that doesn't exist. this is not espionage. >> these are lawyers, so they know what they're saying is crap. but explain to us about the espionage act. >> okay. so there is a set of statutes under federal criminal law generally known as the espionage statutes. within those -- and those are the statutes under which individuals who actually engage in espionage, spying for foreign governments, that is the set of laws that they're charged under. it also has a set of provisions of law that individuals who are charged with mishandling classified information or in this case willfully withholding national defense information are also charged. it's interesting the arguments senator g

we'll pose it to carrie cordero with us. before we get there, carrie, if you could, make the distinction between someone being the subject of an investigation and a target, the way we know trump has been informed that he is. >> right, so the target letter that his team received and him being informed he's a target is a much more serious stage of legal exposure and jeopardy for him. it means that the investigation has revealed conduct that provides information that he may have committed crimes. he himself. not people around him. not he's wrapped up in a broader investigation, but he himself is potentially culpable and could be charged with federal crimes. that's different than a subject which there would be more subjects in an investigation individuals who are involved in some way who are under scrutiny but they're not being informed that they are on the path to being indicted. doesn't mean they absolutely will be indicted but a target is on that path. >> this is also unusual in that he is a former president, so there's nothi

biologist keylor cordero is sounding the alarm.ientists counted 109,000 turtles nesting on the island. in 2021, there were only 44,000, a decline of more than half. keylor: there are important hunting areas in los cayos miskitos, in the caribbean areas of colombia and venezuela, where between 8000 and 12,000 turtles are hunted each year on the nicaraguan side. reporter: in some areas, eating turtle meat is part of indigenous culture. hunting is still allowed there. tourists are only allowed on the beach if they're accompanied by a local guide. they all have to wear dark clothing so that they don't disturb the turtles. we accompany the park rangers during their nightly inspection. the number of tourists per group is limited. there's a fine if the rules are ignored. reporter: local tourism is well organized. but monitoring the area is challenging. jeffry: in tortuguero national park, 18 people are responsible for more than 50,000 hectares of marine area, more than 26,000 hectares of land, and 30 kilometers of beach front. it's just n

back with us now, cnn legal analyst carrie cordero and elliott williams. correspondent. john, let me start with you. trump seemed in his remarks that we were playing little clips of more defiant than ever. and he is expected to raise at least $2 million. >> i was looking at least six emails. just today raising money. they're selling hats, they're seeing flags. emails about being besieged. we know that they are good at this. if you don't like donald trump, maybe this infuriates you. but he's very good at this. trump is the bonfire of american politics. the way he keeps his people going is by constantly throwing more wood in the fire, and keeping it blazing. he keeps them fired up. as if they are in the fight. and the theory behind that, his own people admit this to you when you talk to them quietly, that if people walk away, they might read the indictment. or they might listen to one of his rivals, who again, might say, i have long term questions about the fbi or two trucks of justice, or how hillary clinton was handled. but read the indictment. these are h

and what are you hearing, carrie cordero? >> 100% this entire case is just a self-inflicted wound.question about it. at every opportunity that the former president had to keep himself from the legal jeopardy that he now faces, he let that opportunity go, whether it was dealing with the national archives, whether it was deal being the justice department lawyers who kept going down there and trying to talk to him and get him to respond. so, this is of his own doing. i think what the evidence shows in this indictment that is so noticeable to those of us who worked on national security cases before is that it really does move the story forward in terms of our following of the investigation that not only did he have all these documents, not only did he keep all these boxes of information that shouldn't have been there, but that he knew what was in them. that's the key piece that comes through in the narrative of this indictment, that he knew there was classified information in them. and the other piece that i've been looking at that i have wondered throughout the course of the investiga

but it's much bigger than that. >> carrie cordero, earlier in the show george conway went through howald trump and how little there is in terms of the facts presented in the indictment that's even being disputed. we heard donald trump in his remarks basically arguing that the presidential records act allows him to have these documents as his, and he also said about the espionage act, and we've talked about this the other day, and you can do it again. he said the espionage act has been used to go after traitors and spies, it has nothing to do with a former president legally keeping his own documents. as president the law that applies to this case is not the espionage act but very simply the presidential records act, i had every right to have these documents. >> okay. so once he was no longer president he no longer had right to have the documents because those documents belong to the united states of america. >> even if he classifies -- >> full stop. >> even if he classified them. >> if he -- well, they were classified documents. >> right, right. >> even if he had declassified -- >> i'm

carrie cordero, as a legal matter, how serious is the idea that donald trump and his attorneys, more specifically, got a target letter saying that he is the target of a possible indictment? what does that mean for a viewers out there? >> sure, so, if someone is a subject of an investigation, that means they're involved in the investigation in some way. but it doesn't necessarily mean their conduct is the subject of the actual potential criminal violations. the target letter is serious. the target letter means that this is an individual that the investigation is targeting, is directed at him as an individual, not just the people around him, that his conduct is potentially the charged conduct. and i think it does correlate to the meeting that took place recently, where his lawyers want to. sometimes, the target letter can come out before the lawyers go in and sort of make their last case in front of the justice department prosecutors, trying to dissuade them from issuing the target letter. in this case, they had the meeting and then the target letter appears to be coming out after. but

correspondent paula reid, former federal prosecutor elliott williams and cnn legal analyst carrie cordero. i want to start with you because you have been doing reporting on this, what are you hearing? >> what's interesting to me how this is all concluded in the past several weeks. we know the investigation has been going on for years. last summer, cnn reported that prosecutors at that time had narrowed it down to a few possible tax charges and the question of a possible gun charge. then nothing for seven months. and at that time as we reported hunter's lawyers asked for a meeting and back in april they made a pitch about why hunter should not be charged. he paid these taxes back with fees and penalties and he should not be charged in those. they pointed to a supreme court decision expanding second amendment rights. it's going to be hard to prove your case beyond a reasonable doubt. in recent weeks negotiations have ramped up between biden's attorneys and the justice department, calls back and forth, which finally resolved this deal with this deal. i think it's significant even though it's

cnn legal analyst, carrie cordero. thank you for being here. that jack smith's office is asking is there reason to be concerned that trump could potentially share what they've learned, but they are showing with the team? >> there is a lot of witness testimony that will go into the case, there is a lot of potential evidence, there is ongoing investigations of being involved. it could make those investigations harder to pursue an all trump has a pension for getting out there and taking a comes with his mind. it's no surprise they ask for the protective order. will the judge be able to enforce it if in fact it starts violated. >> speaks frequently about this. he's basically going after jack smith nonstop. why he made that video, he put in the top levels of government because this is what they said about their view of how much legal trouble he could be in. >> even half of it is true that he is toast. it is a pretty clear-cut decision. and it is very damning. >> we can all make stakes and get them to the wrong place but you have to turn them then wh

here with me at the table to share their insights and reporting, kerry cordero and laura coates. once again, joan, you are just arriving here from up the street at the court. what was it like? >> it was amazing. you really saw all the tensions in america playing out in that courtroom based on what they ruled and the voices that we heard. first we hear from justice neil gorsuch talking about the free speech rights of this woman who does not want to do a wedding website for same-sex couples. he cast it all in the notion of speech rights for this woman. and when justice sotomayor spoke herself in dissent, she pulled back and said this is not about just speech, this is about discrimination against gays and lesbians, and she likened it to discrimination against african americans ballpack in the '60s, discrimination across the board and talked about what she said and the other one i'll mention when the chief gets into it with justice kagan is the identity of america and the identity of rights. justice sotomayor said at one point look at how much this court has changed. so much has chan

national security institute at george mason, as well as cnn legal and national security analyst, carrie cordero jack smith is asking the judge to do this. but do they have a reason to be concerned that trump could potentially share what they've learned, what they're sharing with their testimony. >> there's a lot of witness testimony that's going to go into this case. there's ongoing investigations of others involved. if any of that gets out, it could make those investigations harder to pursue. and donald trump has a penchant for getting out there talking about anything and everything that comes to his mind. so, it's no surprise they've asked for this protective order. the question becomes, will the judge be able to enforce it if it starts being violated. >> he speaks frequently about this. he speaks freequently about everything. he's going after jack smith nonstop. why he made the government going after the people he put in top levels of government is this is what they said about their view. >> if half of it is true, he's toast. it's a very detailed indictment. and it's very, very damning. >> i

cnn senior correspondent evan perez, cnn legal analyst carrie cordero and analyst elliott williams, allhree of you have had a very long week. a very consequential week for this country as well. and of course, trump is innocent until proven guilty as everybody has said. but you cannot get around the fact that the details provided in the indictment are really, really damning and that includes some from his own attorney which in and of itself is extraordinary. and this is an example of trump according to evan corcoran and the notes that he took at that time, making a notion about plucking something out, plucking the classified documents out of a trove that had been found at mar-a-lago and here is what evan corcoran said. he said, why don't you take them with you to your hotel room and if there is anything really bad in there, you know, pluck it out. what does that tell you? >> it is a colorful anecdote and i think people talked about it a bunch over the course of the week. it is legally quite significant for a number of reasons. what prosecutors have to establish is the intent that the def

i want to bring in carrie cordero and tom dupree.t do you make of this news of the flood in the middle of an investigation? do you think it's suspicious? what do you think this meeting between trump and trump's lawyers meeting with the doj mean? let's start with my roz mary woods reference. for people who don't know, she accidentally erased tapes of the nixon white house. >> i got it. the analogy was apt. that's exactly what it is, potentially. we need to know whether or not this alleged flood actually wiped out the surveillance video. if it did, yes, it's significant. yes, it would be an astronomical coincidence if it happened. i would reserve judgment as to how much to subscribe, but is it significant? yes. we are nearing the end of the special counsel's investigation. we thought we were nearing the end for a long time. i think this is a signal that at least from the trump defense team's perspective, this may be their last clear chance to try to head off a federal indictment. they went in, they alleged prosecutorial misconduct. i'm

. >> kerry cordero, the former president was told he can't discuss the case with his codefendant, waltauta. is that really enforceable, given all the time they actually spend together? they're traveling together all the time. >> they're traveling together, but what i was thinking about is so much of what former president trump did when he was president was in public in terms of the things that he did that later were the results of impeachment proceedings. so even though he is barred from the court from speaking individual to nauta, he can say things publicly. he has a way we've observed over the years communicating things he wants to get communicated, whether it was regarding impeachment, now in a much different circumstance, while under federal indictment, that i'll be curious to see how he handles this publicly, if he continues to use his public forum in a way to get around the rules. >> nia, how does trump's status as the gop front-runner factor into all this? >> listen, i think so far we've seen that this has been fairly good for him in terms of his poll numbers. he was already doi

also with us, our cnn legal analyst, carrie cordero, paul begala, and kristen powers. chris kise, trusted, well-experienced attorney, goes to the former president and says, i have a way to turn down the dial here. give me permission to talk to the justice department to fix this. others in the camp say, nope, keep up the fight. that's going back, before the appointment of special counsel. if that was the approach then, what does it tell you about the legal strategy now? >> of course that would have been a better course to go on than where the former president finds himself right now because it was before the special counsel was ever appointed. it was right after the physical search. so, the government was still going through the materials that they would have uncovered through that search at mar-a-lago. and it was an opportunity to go in and see if there was anything they could do to keep this indictment from ever happening. it would have -- maybe the justice department would have said, no, it's too bad. you obstructed for too long. too many opportunities missed before

>> i want to bring back laura coats, carrie cordero and andrew mccabe.specifics of what we believe is in this sealed indictment and go to an interview that kaitlan collins did with jim trusty, one of donald trump's lawyers. >> and does it say how many charges there are against your client? >> again, it is not perfectly near an indictment, but as language in it that suggests what the seven charges would be. not 100 percent clear that all of those are separate charges, but they break out from an espionage charge, which is ludicrous, under the facts that the case. i can certainly explain it. and several obstruction based charges and phosphate charges, which are actually again a crazy stretch, just from the facts as we know it. there's a lot to pick at from the defense side, but that appears to be the chargers and it appears to be something that will get off the ground on tuesday. >> and, laura, i know that you're particularly interested in the false statement charges. >> i am because i want the public to understand that for statements could mean that you ar

with me is cnn legal analyst carrie cordero, former deputy fbi director andy mccabe, cnn's abby cornishcnn political commentator jonah goldberg, also with "the dispatch." we've been talking about the amount of evidence, the volume of it, the variety of sources the evidence came from. i wonder, there are unanswered questions that are just not in the indictment. we know from some of the reporting that jack smith's team were asking about trump's business deals, for example. we know that a key witness would have been mark meadows. why you expect we will learn even more in a potential trial for this case? >> well, the purpose of the trial would be to prove the charges as they've brought them. so i would not expect that a trial that's about the classified documents case and that is addressing the charges in this particular indictment is going to get into business dealings or other ancillary matters that came up during the course of their investigation. the job of the prosecutors is look at the elements of the particular federal crimes that they're charging, including a substantial number, ove

. >> he was and carrie cordero, he was well known in the white house, white house chief of staff but he was key to various aspects of both of these investigations presumably. that's why they want to question him, the january 6th insurrection as well as the classified documents that were lying around mar-a-lago. >> that's right and as elliot and paula explained, because he was in the position he was he had firsthand knowledge. i think the fact that he has testified now before the grand jury and one of the big questions i have, wolf, is did he actually testify from a substantive perspective, in other words, answer questions substantively meaningfully for what amount of time, how many hours was he in there, or was there a circumstance where he would have been in a position to invoke his own fifth amendment right? one of the big questions is whether or not mark meadows faces any criminal liability in these broader investigations himself. i don't know the answer to that question. but it would certainly affect the length of time that has gone before he testified, whether or not he entered

adam kinzinger, former republican congressman who served on the january 6th committee, and carrie corderoo the attorney general for national security. congressman, 2016 then-candidate donald trump ran on the protection of classified information saying, quote, in my administration, i'm going to enforce all laws concerning the classified information. no one will be above the law. you hear this and it's just a joke. >> it's a total joke. hypocrisy through donald trump's whole administration was an everyday occurrence. this is a huge example of that. and, i mean, the whole thing about protected classified information in 2016, we'll just state the obvious, had nothing to do with classified information. it was a way to go after hillary clinton. that's what led to the whole "lock her up" chants and all that kind of stuff. he has no regard for the protection of classified information when he can sit in front of a group of people and impress them with the papers he has. what i thought was interesting is i think he was trying to act surprised he found it. look at this here. like, first off, come on

. >> back with the panel now, we are joined by carrie cordero, subject of these charges is right in youruse, of course, because you're a former assistant to the attorney general for national security. you hear jim talking there. they don't actually have their hands on this indictment. they have what he said was a summons, basically a summary of the charges. what did you make, though, of him saying espionage, mobile retention of documents, false statements, a conspiracy charge as well, i believe. >> right. so, one of the things that he pointed out that i think is probably worth unpacking a little bit for our viewers is his statement that i think he used the word ludicrous with respect to potential charges under the espionage act. and i think that can be a little bit misleading because when we hear espionage act, people think spies and things like that, working for a foreign government. the statute that we refer to as the espionage act really is the statute that mishandling of classified information is prosecuted under. so, just because an individual is charged with one of the provisions o
