the seven criminal charges against donald j. trump are connected to the hundreds of classified documents found at his mar-a-lago resort. we'll go through the charges and what's next in the case. >>> plus, this indictment from a florida grand jury is significant when it comes to a venue for a potential trial. we'll explain why. and we'll have the reaction from trump's republican rivals in the 2024 presidential race. good morning and welcome to "way too early" on this friday, june 9th. i'm jonathan lemire. thanks for starting your day with us. nbc news can confirm that former president donald trump has been indicted by a grand jury in florida in connection with special counsel jack smith's investigation into his handling of more than 100 classified documents discovered last year at his mar-a-lago resort in palm beach, florida. two sources familiar with the matter confirmed the indictment. one adding that trump received a summons to appear in u.s. district court on tuesday. this is the first time in american history that a former u.s. pr

on another country or defense department documents about our capabilities are in no universe donald j trumps personal documents. they are the government documents. shannon: what about, okay, when it came to president obama, president biden was vice president when some of these documents that he allegedly has that's a different question. obama or clinton, the case with clinton, bill clinton, listen. >> to big lies, i think, they are right now, these other presidents took all these documents, those were situations where they arranged with the archives to set up special space under the management control and security provided by the archivist to temporarily put documents into libraries were ready. it was not put in their basement. okay. the idea that the president has complete authority to declare any document personal is facially ridiculous. that opinion had to do with the distinction between unofficial records which are records prepared by government agencies for the purpose of government action and personal documents as opposed to official documents which are things prepared by the president

in 2020 donald j trump 90% of lockman one out of ten voted for donald j trump, those are huge numbersup from 13% 2016 among black women away from 4% to nine an overall 12% which is double what mitt romney got. there is an increasing sense of black voters that doesn't like to put it one of the democrats done for us lately civil rights that was 50 or 60 years ago, how about now you see many black parents thinking can i take my kid to a school where they might learn something and you republican say yes we want school choice, vouchers, tax credits, et cetera to get your kids educated and what are the democrats doing time and time again lining themselves in teachers unions, standing in the way and blocking the schoolhouse door and is a little black kids, it's too bad that's her problem got to keep the money coming from the teachers units. that is a definite movement towards the gop and the best way to keep that going as for republican candidates to go to black neighborhoods not last until last week of the election holding town halls of black churches and black union halls going to hispanic

>> possibly, lawrence, but this case is the ignited states against donald j trump. it's not the united states against evan corcoran. i think the focus has to be on donald trump's wrong doing, not on the others, and that is for a host of reasons. i think the most fabulous is evan corcoran -- when trump tried to get him to do all the, as detailed and paragraph if the four of the indictment, corcoran my thought to himself, we'll, not a distaff was actually classified in the end because trump is telling me that it is the classified and maybe, corcoran did not have experience with national security information, did not know how bananas such a difference would be. so, he could have acted in good faith, it's possible. i think andrew makes the important point that regardless of -- at that point, what ultimately was litigated and brought to this very respected judge in washington, d. c., and then ultimately to our nation's second court, the united states court of appeals for the district of columbia, should attorney-client privilege in the current note speak given over to pro
