they sent between the cars and 30 agents this is more political prosecution of donald j. trump. >> brooke: fbi agentss looked in every safe without going through the documents on the property and were not judicious about what they took. trump was in -- no need for. watch. >> there was no reason not to issue a subpoena, returnable tomorrow so there is no claim that trump could have destroyed anything, this should have been a subpoena, not a search warrant. if it is search warrants, it has to have a high level of cause demonstrating the evidence would have been destroyed. >> all eyes are on merrick garland who they say knew about this. >> merrick garland almost certainly signed off on this, hard to determine a decision of this magnitude would be made without his knowledge and approval. >> brooke: the white house tells me it did not receive advance notice about the raid at mar-a-lago. >> carley: let's turn to kevin corke who has the latest from washington. >> kevin: the fbi raids the home of donald trump, mar-a-lago, with the approval of merrick garland and christopher wray. the f

and today donald j. trump continues to thumb his nose and his supporters support him including members of the senate, people who know better. they're afraid and they're cowards. and history will show it. >> well, and that leads me to the next question, sam. i know you have been speaking to this already. let's delve into this further. president biden recently met with historians who warned him in recent days that our democracy, the american democracy is facing an existential threat on the level of the civil war or world war ii era fascism. what can we in the media do to better lay out the stakes for the american people and i guess i heard you say you were confident in the american people. is that what it boils down to? we just have to have faith that the american people will sort this out? how concerned are you at the same time that major historians would go to the president and say this? >> you have to be concerned. we were at the brink of the civil war and the union one. we were on the brink of fascism and we

maybe president donald j. trump? i was waiting on him for a little bit and it is worth the wait.cited to be here. i'm excited to be standing with you as the republican nominee for governor of the great state of michigan. i have to tell you the coolest part about this is that that seed was planted at a cpac conference much like this one several years ago as i sat in the audience like you are now. i encourage you today to let that seed grow inside of you. you can be a difference maker in a space that is becoming increasingly ugly. i may be looking at a school board member, future governor, and maybe even the first female president out in that crowd. it is so exciting to be chosen by the people of the great state of michigan to help and the long, oppressive reign of the queen of lockdowns, gretchen whitmer. more than that, i can't describe how excited i am about the opportunities in michigan to finally stand up for families who can't afford gas or their groceries. and for the children who saw their schools closed, the halls of learning locked because the current governor was more in

and that's exactly what donald j. trump is. if you know what?had an incredible strong country, people realize he was an effective president. see biden right now. taiwan is getting circled by military planes literally as we sit here and speak right now. you've got russia and ukraine, a total disaster. everything is happening in iran, which is a disaster. all the things you talk about all night, we are not respected by anybody around the world, our economy is garbage, and they worry that donald trump will come back in and win this very easily. they also worry about the 2022 midterms, which is the only reason they are doing the sham january 6 panel that does not have a single republican on it buried other than liz cheney, who is about to lose her race by 25 points. it's more political persecution of donald j. trump. they can stand that americans love them. even as i watch the channel now they keep on showing his beautiful clips of people waiting trump flags outside of mar-a-lago, his supporters. one has that ever happened in a political movement in

finally, last but not least, thank you donald j. trump for appointing not one, not two, but three supreme court justices. like you, we want to get these men and women confirmed, and it was hard work. but also, prayer. thank you for your prayers and all of your support. i also said, to all of the never trump who accused us of selling out by supporting this president, bless their hearts. >> we are so grateful. you played an integral role by shedding light on this issue. years of activism, marches, what is that they mean to you, walk us through what was going on in your mind? >> took a little while to sink in. we have been working and praying for 50 years. we knew that roe v. wade was unconstitutional. it was a wonderful day, but i had to keep reminding myself it really happened. it was a monumental decision. however work is not over. we need to win this war, we need to continue to change hearts and minds, talking about the unborn child, making sure people understand, that war is not over yet. although we have one a wonderful better we still

but the fact that allen weisselberg is not going to cooperate against donald j. trump or the trump children is the big news here. and it means that it is increasingly unlikely that we will see criminal charges out of the manhattan d.a. against individuals in the trump organization. >> another case, there are a lot, the ongoing investigation of trump's handling of the classified documents, top secret and otherwise, down at mar-a-lago. the phrase that continues to stick out to me, ongoing grand jury criminal investigation as the doj describes it. does ongoing mean they're considering whether there is criminal liability or they're looking for more documents or both? >> both, jim. we used to say that your investigation is ongoing until the minute the jury comes back with a verdict. you're always continuing to look for more information as a prosecutor. and, yes, i think there are sort of two lanes here. some question about, well, did doj go in and seize those documents from mar-a-lago just because they wanted to retrieve the documents for national security or are they looki

the donald j. trump is the classification authority. ified. so national archivists and fbi agents saying we know what is classified not donald trump would be like a heckler at a yankees game actually getting that make the calls when he disagrees with the umpire. donald trump is the umpire of what is classified. this is all pretextual forget trump. say the president has national security memo that he wants to share but he wants to declassify it and he walks out from the oval to the press briefing room and he just reads it to the cameras and to the press back at the moment, that is declassified. because he decided to declassify it. it does not -- it is not the classified two days later once employees pick some markings on it. at the moment he decides to declassify it, it is declassified. >> jesse: correct! the process the bureaucrats create are just that. it is amazing. this is such a refreshing break from the insanity we are seeing on either channels. is like a moment of wonderful amazing clarity and sanity. yes, donald j. trump is the cl

quote, the initial batch of documents retrieved by the national archives from former president donald j trump in january included more than 150 marked as classified, a number that ignited intense concern at the justice department. and helped trigger the criminal investigation that led fbi agents to swoop into mar-a-lago this month seeking to recover more, multiple people briefed on the matter said. but before anyone from the federal government went to mar-a-lago and searched for documents, the times reports, mr. trump went through the boxes himself in late 2021, according to multiple people briefed on his efforts before turning them over. so the times is reporting that multiple people, witnesses, multiple witnesses know that donald trump went through the boxes of classified material himself last year. and obviously donald trump decided to keep those boxes. last week we learned that when the lawyers for donald trump tried to get him to return that material, he delivered the now famous line, it's not there's, it's mine. the two lawyers who donald trump had made his official representatives on t

warrant identifies three potential federal crimes that the justice department is investigating donald j. trump for. they are violations of the espionage act, obstruction of justice, and criminal handling of government records. so, elliot, we're getting a little context from george with that example from manila, three months in prison for that individual. how serious are these potential violations? >> ethey're incredibly serious. people hear the espionage act and think of cloak and dagger and trench coats and spies overseas. it's a far broader act than that, written i think 100 years ago and covers really the mishandling and bad storage of information that could cause harm to the united states. particularly with respect to the documents and picking up on some of the points that have been made here, you know, the language -- the definition of top secret information is information that could cause exceptionally grave harm to the united states if disclosed. and so none of this belongs even for a former president of the united states in an unsecure location out of someone's home. so any of these th

we will secure a border, build the wall, and when we finish it we will name it after president donald j. trump[applause] it has other ideas but you know it my plan says about washington country the democrats say i woke. i am not. and they say i am not serious. i am. they say i am reese's which is something they say about the one they disagree with. -- they roll their eyes when anyone reminds them america is a great of great people. and we will not be stopped. in washington, they tell us the plan will not work and nothing will change. washington is full of do-nothing people that believe no conservative can change ever. but they are wrong but nothing will change as long as they are in charge. that is why we are going to get rid of them. some republicans complain about my plan they mostly do it anonymously but not completely. but the fun part is the plan is driving joe biden nuts. -- he did today again because i have the nerve to write a plan and call him out for what he is. i regard this as a badge of honor. -- people of washington want to be read to tell the truth. joe biden is -- incompetent a

finally, last but not least, i thought and said, thank you, donald j trump, for appointing not one, notwo, but three supreme court justices.

are going to secure borders, build the wall and when we finish it we're going to name it after donald j. trump.

that is exactly what donald j. trump is. he had an extremely strong country. taiwan is getting circled by military planes literally as we sit here and speak. russia-ukraine is a total disaster, iran is a disaster, inflation, gas prices, all of the things you talked about. we are not respected by anybody around the world. our economy is garbage and they worry donald trump will come back in and win this very easily. host: eric trump, the son of the former president talking about what was in the boxes that the fbi took. according to news reports, the fbi descended upon mar-a-lago club because this was part of an investigation related to the national archives records. you will recall, president trump did not hand over all of those records when he left the white house. but he did -- the national archives did retrieve several boxes. they are saying now they are still missing items. from "the washington post" it was not immediately clear why fbi agents would conduct a search related to the documents many months after the 15 boxes of materials were retrieved. a sittin

experience as a law enforcement officer, have you ever authorized a raid like the one we saw involving donald j. trumpiolent and the suspect is a problem and especially in the case that donald trump was hundreds of miles in new york city? >> as federal prosecutor there are many times where i worked with law enforcement to do search warrants. you know, i don't believe anybody in mar-a-lago was going to start flushing fentanyl down the toilet. think about when we use these kinds of search warrants. we are afraid that those in the residents or in the location are going to destroy evidence. i think it's very uncommon when you're going to do this in a document dispute if that is what this is. what i would like to see is immediately for someone to talk about even if they don't come out and give us exactly what they're doing, exactly what's in the affidavit, exactly the charges. if they need that for the integrity of the investigation, at least come out and say why was this the procedure used, why were the tactics used, why did we need dozens of fbi agents at mar-a-lago, there are a lot of questions here and

where rule of law is applied evenly to everyone, no matter ordinary citizen or whether you are donald j. trump of justice and fbi need to take steps to lower the temperature and a lot is transparency, talking about investigation like this, why for the first time in american history, search warrant executed on a former president of the united states. when that upon has, we will have the temperature lowered. >> todd:s peter struck is defending the agency, take a listen. >> absolutely the american public should trust the fbi. the fbi is not targeting one side or the other, they are investigating allegations of law. >> todd: this text exchange between truck and lisa page, his lover, page saying trump will never become president, right? struck replied, he won't, we will stop it. peter struck says nothing to see here, your take, matt? >> matt: this is a red herring, he is the guy that led an investigation into the president of the united states when there was predcasion or evidence that donald trump had a relationship with the russian government. strzok is giving away the goods, there are some at th
