daniel dale lewis starring in my left foot you've given me the perfect reason to spend a holiday weekendanimous on the cover of time daniel dails appeared as an actor chameleon as adherents of a special method are called, the method of the actor's studio puts the body language at the forefront, listberg, actor's studio he is admired by all innovators marlon brando, first of all, he sees in him more than an example to follow his alter ego. this is a shakespearean actor with an ideal speech from julius caesar and a hero of a rebellion on a bounty, then i would have called you to rebellion, you would not have turned against cassia brutus. films to the port of elia rendered, which cannot connect two words and in it daniel deli lewis sees himself. he too made silence an art. martin scorsese was not mistaken in offering him a difficult role in the film age of innocence, a story about cruelty , secrets and conventions reigning among the nobility of new york in the 19th century, who better than a british actor would embody the image of an aristocrat hostage to a hypocritical society. he realized

to spew a barrage of false and misleading claims and no one can do a fact check better than our daniel dale. all right. so where should we start? let's see, let's -- the presidential records act. let's start there. this is what donald trump said about that act. >> under the presidential records act which is civil, not criminal, i had every right to have these documents. according to the presidential records act which was a big deal, i was supposed to negotiate with nara which is exactly what i was doing until mar-a-lago was raided. >> daniel dale i am going to guess that you read -- you actually read the presidential records act. does it say that? >> it says neither of the two things former president trump claimed there it says. so let's go one by one. he said under the presidential records act i had every right to have those documents. it's absolutely not true. you can read the key part 15 seconds online. the moment the president leaves office, records from his administration belong to the federal government and belong to the national archives and there is nothing in there that says a form

dana, i want to bring in cnn's daniel dale.re to fact-check some of what we heard tonight, including nikki haley's comments on crime. this is what she said. >> we don't want to take away the constitutional right for someone to protect and defend their families in america. and when you've got crime at all-time highs, you've got illegal immigrants crossing the border, you've got mental health crisis as much as it is, the last thing i'm going to do is take away the ability for someone to protect themselves and their families. >> daniel, i know you have been looking into this, checking her comments. what do the facts say about this? >> kaitlan, governor haley's claim that crime is at an all-time high is not accurate. crime has fallen steadily with a few short upticks over the last three decades. if you do a graph, you'd see a steep line downward from those early '90s and then a recent flattening out with some ups and downs. we do not have precise numbers for the present day or even last year. crime data takes time to come in. but e

daniel dale. to give folks the facts as they evaluate the candidates out there. thank you very much. thank you all for joining us tonight, cnn tonight with alison camerota starts right now. good evening everyone, i'm alison camerota, looking to cnn tonight. investigators think they've got about 30 hours left before the air supply runs out for five people on board that missing summer supple. disobey vanished somewhere in the north atlantic on sunday after heading out to see the site of the shipwreck titanic. nearly 13,000 feet below the surface. there are plenty tonight and if any can nurse were cut with safety precautions. so in just a moment i'll speak to a team of experts in deep sea searches. also tonight, under biden's plea deal. the president son will plead guilty to two tax misdemeanors and is reportedly negotiating a detailed federal prosecutors to resolve felony gun charges. what any of us be offered the same deal? we have a reality check for you tonight. and a new cnn poll shows former president trump support is slipping following his indictment for mish

mine is peanuts. >> daniel dale joins us now to fact check those latest comments by trump.ut? >> 850 boxes that have no relevance to his case. these are boxes president biden donated very publicly legally to the university of delaware, his alma mater. the key point is they are boxes from his 36-career as a united states senator. well, if you're the president, you're subject to the presidential records act, which says that all of your records are owned by the federal government when you leave office. there is no senate records act. if you're a senator, you own your office's records, and you can whatever you want with them. you can decorate your house with them, give them to your dog, anything. he donated them to a university, and that is entirely normal. the second key difference is that there is no current indication that there is anything classified in these 850 boxes of biden's senate records. the fbi conducted two searches of the university of delaware with the biden legal team's consent, and as of february, there was no sign of any classified marking on any of these doc

with me now is cnn's daniel dale for the first of our two fact checks about the remarks. ll start with trump's claims about the espionage act under which he's charged. >> 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, which just about every other president has done. >> what's the truth here, dishonesty there, jake, in a few words. these were not his own documents under the presidential records act. they legally belong to the federal government the moment he left office. it is not true that just about every other president has done this, he's the only president in the presidential records act era to take sensitive documents to his home and club and refuse to give them back when asked. and this suggestion of the espionage act is only for spies and traitors is just not true. of course the law does deal with spies and traitors, but there is a provision under which he and many other people have been charged, 793e. and just in the trump era, a number of people have been charged for

so, cnn's daniel dale watched to fact check some of that interview. lad to have you on things like this. what did you find exactly? >> i found a whole lot of nonsense, frankly, for mr. kennedy. he repeated his completely baseless claims about vaccines causing autism. and much of obscure wrong is about everything from ebola to wi-fi. stuff that is, frankly, so bizarre and out there, it's not even worth explaining it just to debunk it. something that stood out to me, how badly he distorted the findings of actual experts. he mentioned academic study after academic study, if you go read those studies yourself, as i did, you'll find he was not actually describing what the studies actually said. >> that's not shocking at all, i think if you're familiar with rfk junior. i do want to ask you about this dramatic claim that he made that doctor anthony fauci says the spanish flu epidemic of the early 20th century was not caused by a flu virus at all. listen. >> the spanish flu was not a virus. fauci now acknowledges that. there's good evidence that the spanish fl

and some of what he said, senior dale is with us now. so, daniele vice president made -- the former vice president made a claim about the controversial separation policy when he was in office. what did he say? how does it square with the facts? >> well, he tried to separate himself from the separation policy. let's listen to what he said. >> the family separation policy actually became under the obama administration. and then we continue did until president trump rightly reversed course. >> when president trump said during his plan -- , anderson, but he is simply inherited this family separation policy from barack obama and that eventually entered it. i called that a lie. and now i'm going to call it a lie again now that mike pence is saying it. it is just not true. here is the reality. there was no blanket policy of family separation under president barack obama. rather under obama, children were separated from their parents at the border in rare and exceptional cases, like where the parent would be prosecuted for carrying the drugs across the bor

cnn's daniel dale is here with me not to fact check. daniel, the former vice president made a claim. what do you say? how this is square with the facts? >> he tried to separate himself from the separation policy. listen to what he said. >> the family separation policy actually began under the obama administration, and then we continued it until president trump directly reversed course. >> when president trump said during his presidency, anderson, that he simply inherited the family separation policy from barack obama and eventually ended a, i called that a lie. i will call it light again not that mike pence is saying it. is just not true. here is the reality, there is no blanket policy for family separation under president barack obama. under a bomb of, to separated from their parents at the border in rare and exceptional cases, if a parent was being prosecuted for caring jokes over the border or human trafficking was suspected -- rare and exceptional. what trump and pence did was way different. they created a whole new policy that made

let's get to a fact check on trump's address tonight to his reporters in new jersey, fact checker daniel dalen through trump's speech at bedminster tonight. tell us what stands out to you. >> abby, i usually like to do a deep dive into a couple of false claims into a big speech like this. but president trump delivered so many lies and wildly misleading claims about this indictment that i want to go through a whole bunch of them quickly, because i think they're all important. so trump kept claiming that the presidential records act says he has every right to keep these classified documents. he said they were his own documents. that is not only absolutely false, it's like upside down world. that act is clear and concise. you read it online. the very purpose it was passed in the '70s was to make clear that all official documents from a presidency, classified or nonclassified belong to the federal government the moment a president leaves office. trump also claimed the presidential records act says he was supposed to negotiate with the national archives and records administration about what to ret

. >> daniel dale, kristen holmes, thank you. we'll get back to you in the coming hours as president trump continues to speak there in columbus, georgia. >>> joining us with some legal analysis, a former federal prosecutor and a professor at princeton. thank you for joining me. you just heard kristen mention trump's legal team warning him not to say things. we have heard in the wake of this indictment the former president attacking jack smith, the special counsel. let's take a listen. >> jack smith, what do you think his name used to be? i don't know. jack smith. sounds so innocent. he's deranged. deranged jack smith. i watched him yesterday go up and talk. he talked for about two and a half minutes. he was shaking. he was so scared. he didn't want to be there because ultimately these are cowards. >> he called himderanged. he called him a thug, a trump hater. how big an issue could it be for the former president to go after the person bringing charges against him? >> well, it's something i don't advise my clients to do. ultimatel

. >> well, cnn's daniel dale fact-checked this claim. >> these are boxes that president biden donatedy publicly, legally and normally in 2012 to the university of delaware, his alma mater. the key point here is that they are boxes from his 36-year career as a united states senator. why is that so important? well, if you're the president you're subject to the presidential records act which says that all of your records are owned by the federal government when you leave office. there is no senate records act. if you're a senator, you own your office's records. and you can do whatever you want with them. you can decorate your house with them. you can give them to your dog. you can do absolutely anything. the president like many senators donated them to a university. and that is, again, entirely normal. the second key difference between the biden case and the trump case is that there is no current indication, alex, that there is anything classified in these 1850 boxes of biden's senate records. the fbi conducted two searches of the university of delaware with the biden legal team's consen

i believe i saw one commentator, i think it was daniel dale of cnn saying citing the presidential records act as a way of trump saying these records belong to me is akin to saying i was allowed to keep going when i was driving along the road because there was a stop sign. it's upside down world, the complete opposite of the truth. the whole point of the presidential records act is that information, presidential documents, information one creates or possesses in furtherance of being president or while they're president are not the personal property of the president and certainly of the ex-president. >> and last word to you on this. given the makeup of the court we see in georgia, would you expect given these facts for this to be a case that is easy to prosecute and get a conviction? >> i mean, that will be played out over the coming month, but again, the case seems really strong. the facts seem to be more in favor of the prosecution, and president trump's legal team is going to have to come up with a really novel approach to convince the jury that that case isn't as strong as it is. and as

the former president is doing on the legal side and the political side and we want to bring in daniel dalefact check some. claims made by the former president when addressing the crowd at bedminster. trump claimed that the espionage act shouldn't be applied in this case. take a listen. >> charging a former president of the united states under the espionage act of 1917 wasn't meant for this. 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. >> all right, daniel, the former president's contention. what are the facts? >> two big problems here. these are not his own documents. they are the legal property of the federal government. second of all, though, this idea that the espionage act is only meant for traitors and spies is just not true. there are provisions that target traitors and spice but also the provision under which trump and many have been charged, 793-e and it makes a crime to willfully retain national defense information and refuse to deliver it to the united states. nothing in that provis

daniel dale wa ds back in action and he saw his shadow. >> former president trump delivered just so manyand wildly misleading claims abouldlyt indictment that i want to go through a whole bunch of them quickly. he said they were hiy. he sais own documents. that is not only absolutely false, it's like upside down one world. trump claimed just about every other president has done what he did. don absolutely false. the nit picking this guy, though, daniel diehl, he used to be on tv. laura media did a whole thingy e on this every day he was on tvn or mentioned literally every day of the trump administration. now he gets the airtimministrat toobin. so he's working his way back. he's found an openinand heg. did they ever fact check joe biden's stories about things like where, where and how his son died? >> not that horrible. i've only foun i'vd a handful of biden checks and they were minor things, nobiden cht the bi what amazes me is the media covered donald trump's everynalu move from the house to the car to the courthouse to theve a car to the plane. i'm surprised they didn't have a camera i
