witness michael cohen, ty, pat cipollone and maybe christina bob and evan corcoran. >> thank you for your time, barbara mcquade, this evening. >>> we will be joined by one of the reporters breaking all kinds of news in the trump investigation. coming up live on the set, big news out of alaska, where a democrat, a democrat has defeated sarah palin for congress becoming the first native american in congress. >>> live by the chairman of the january 6th committee who represents jackson, mississippi, bennie thompson a lot to get to. stay with us. t to get to. stay with us >>> one day after donald trump files his lawsuit last week, calling for a special master in the case of the fbi search of his florida home, the "washington post" published this piece entitled fbi's mar-a-lago search followed months of resistance, comma, delay, by trump. a documented year and a half effort to stall and prevent the handover of documents to the national archives and justice department investigators. quote, some material recovered in the search is considered extraordinarily sensitive two people familiar with

we will see about evan corcoran. he is still a lawyer.ut we now know that team trump recognizes christina bobb is in trouble because they are no longer, according to our reporting at the washington post and my colleagues -- there are no longer going to have her representing donald trump on any motion. she is not going to be signing anything. and i think evan is going to be in that situation not too long from now. >> oh, to be a trump lawyer, which is what i said at the end of the last block. but it cannot be stated enough. it is amazing anybody wants to represent him at this point. and yet, the investigation continues. carol leonnig, national investigative reporter for the washington post, thank you for your time and wisdom and reporting on everything else. carol, it is great to see you. >> thank you, alex. >> breaking news out of alaska, where sarah palin -- yes, that sarah palin -- has just lost her bid for congress to a democrat. we will joined by political reporter mark leibovitz for more on that southern results and more republican r

we'll see about evan corcoran. >> so harry litman, let me ask you one key point of the trump filing is the claim that the june 3rd meeting between the justice department official and trump's attorneys, evan corcoran, christina bobb, was as the file put it significantly mischaracterized. how do the courts go about verifying which version is the truth? >> well, for now they don't have to. it's funny, because all these self-inflicted wounds that everyone is documenting were really unnecessary. they have got -- she's not going to have to decide who's right or who's wrong. on the other hand, i think given the sort of documentation from are the doj, we have a pretty good sense of what happened. there is these ellipses in there about further investigation and we'll find out about that later. but the point about bobb and corcoran that carol makes is very strong. bobb is the one to signed an attestation after a diligent search, there's nothing here. surprise, there's a whole other cache of things, including in rooms where they told them they couldn't go in, including in trump's desk. that's dev

"the new york times" reports that evan corcoran also met with a justice official at mar-a-lago on junegal jeopardy and for their continuing to represent the former president. >> reporter: a couple of months after christina bobb signed tha after she signed that document, a key passage in the letter when she claimed all the documents had been turned over said, the above statements are true and correct to the best of my knowledge. what if they didn't know classified documents remained at mar-a-lago? is that an out? >> that's an interesting question. that makes them both a witness. that's their best scenario to be witnesses. cooperate with the government. then they could say, we didn't have the intent to deceive anybody. this is what we were told. >> reporter: in its filing this week, the justice department said that during that june meeting at mar-a-lago, trump's lawyers did not let them search boxes in a storage room. a key question is whether donald trump directed his lawyers to mislead investigators. >> if donald trump made the representations, she's now a witness against him. she has

legal jeopardy two of his lawyers may also face doj scrutiny the "new york times" reporting that evan corcoran and kristina bob are likely to become witnesses or targets in the federal investigation. as for a special master, the judge had previously said that she was inclined to grant mr. trump's request, but that was before the doj's response. a decision is expected in just hours after today's hearing. frances? >> okay, brie, thank you for the update >>> former trump lawyer john eastman pleaded the fifth amendment during an appearance before a georgia grand jury investigating interference in the state's 2020 elections he also invoked attorney-client privilege during the testimony the january 6 hearings reveal that he pushed for vp pence to overturn the election despite knowing the plan was illegal >>> president biden is echoing his 2020 message in prime time tonight. he will deliver a speech at independence hall in philadelphia on a battle for the soul of the nation he will lay out the progress made over the past two years but note that rights and freedoms are still at risk. mr. biden takes t

evan corcoran, one of the lawyers, hired to be my local counsel in another case.wyer, fine person, as honest as the day is long. i don't believe her second that he would've been a part of any misrepresentation to the government. i will say this, i do not believe i know him very well now, that donald trump would have in any way intentionally, knowingly, willfully had control documents that he didn't believe he was entitled to have control over or did anything wrong. i firmly believe that frankly. there's a lot more of this story to come out. >> raymond: let's say the judge appoints the special master to review materials. what makes us think doj hasn't already passed this along to the investigators in the other ca cases? >> great question. it looks to me after this to our spirited hearing that the judge is likely to order special master. she's already indicated she's going to unseal the detail inventory of the materials. what happens next, as a judge indicated stay in the hearing according to press that was there, that she is not going to stand in the way of the int

as a result, two of trump's lawyers evan corcoran and christina bobb are now in need of their own legal representation. as the "new york times" reported last week the lawyers, quote, have subjected themselves to scrutiny by federal law enforcement officials. investigators are seeking information from bobb about why she signed a statement attesting to full compliance with the subpoena and they have signaled they have not ruled out pursuing a criminal inquiry into the actions of either ms. bobb or mr. corcoran. as trump's lawyers are in court fighting the justice department over those documents, the former president is now directing his rage not just at the feds but also at the state's republican governor and potential 2024 contender ron desantis. "rolling stone" reports trump is upset about desantis's decision to fly nearly 50 migrants from texas to martha's vineyard last week not because he thinks it was irresponsible and inhumane to target asylum seekers, no, trump is angry because, well, it was his idea first. quote, trump is telling allies and confidantes he is outraged that desantis

evan corcoran, who was in the courtroom today, christina bobb was not in the courtroom today, about whethernot they could go from being attorneys to potentially witnesses, maybe defendants, given they said -- christina bobb signed that letter saying no more classified information left at mar-a-lago. do you see that as a possibility here? >> unquestionably. i fear for christina bobb and her career as an attorney. i would never sign a document that says based on my information, this is all that exists in terms of materials that trump removed from the white house. i'm sure you noticed the government's response, they mentioned she put a little caveat that said based upon the information that has been told to me, this is all that exists. and so i think maybe part of her knew that there may have been more. and i'm sure that other folks in trump's team kept information from christina bobb, so that she could say that all that existed was this accordion folder and she hands that to the government. >> does she need to get an attorney? >> oh, for sure. >> because of her potential exposure and role in

. >> while trump appears to be facing serious legal jeopardy, two of his lawyers, evan corcoran and christina could come under scrutiny from the department of justice on their own. the new york times reporting they're likely to become witnesses or targets in the federal investigation. with that, we have got a lot to get to, so let's get smarter, with the help of our lead off panel. yamiche alcindor joins us, nbc news correspondent and moderator of washington week on pbs. professor melissa murray of nyu law school. she was a law clerk for sonia sotomayor on the federal bench before her nomination to the supreme court. and her dear friend jeremy peters, reporter for the new york times and author of the new book insurgency, how republicans lost their party and got everything they ever wanted. melissa, walk us through this. trump's legal team has now made their move. break it down for us. >> so this is, again, a little bit better than the initial filing that they made before judge cannon, but not much better. it starts off by arguing that there is appropriate jurisdiction here because the preside

way, they use that term diligent search, apparently the talking point, which is untrue -- so now evan corcoranproblem. he's either going to be a witness or he's gonna be codefendant and he should not be represented trump. and what that means is, it's a real threat for trump. because these people are not going to go to jail for him. and it makes it possible -- >> right -- >> and it makes it possible that they are available for flipping. and it's a dangerous position to end up in. >> right. that is a great point. i hadn't put that, two and two together, the diligent search which the reef talks about -- it says, our agents found twice as many documents in a few hours as your diligent search. they don't come out and say you lied to us, but that is clearly what they are saying. and it is hard to not think that that is the case when you look at the voters in the representations on that piece of paper by the lawyer. and then there is all this stuff. it really is like smoking gun territory. cynthia alksne, thank you so much for laying that out. >> thank you. >> still to come. >> seems like donald trum

case, clearly a leading suspect in their obstruction of justice investigation, as trump attorney evan corcoran, who wrote the false affidavit that was handed to the fbi in donald trump's home. donald trump's a new high priced a lawyer, christopher kise allowed obstruction of justice suspect alvin corcoran to sit at the council table today. but did not allow him to speak. no word on how long that condition is going to persist. judge judge canada knows that her future as a federal judge will be decided by this case. because, the republican appointment process of federal judges, has been completely corrupted by the federalist of society, and the republican senate, and republicans sentence. every republican judge knows, that a promotion to an appeals court. or to the supreme court, depends not on independent and wise judicial scholarship, but on performance in the courtroom. delivering the opinions that extremist republicans want. there have been some trump appointed judges, who have to defied republican expectation, and ruled independently and wisely in some cases. judge cannon now has to ask you

issues of executive privilege or attorney/client privilege, two of the former president's lawyers, evan corcoranfered him only broad instructions in late august. assert sweeping claims of executive privilege, after mr. corcoran had suggested that an unspecified chief judge would ultimately validate their belief that a president's powers extend far beyond their time in office. joining me now is a former special agent with the fbi's counterterrorism division and joyce vance, former u.s. attorney and law professor at the university of alabama. joyce, i am going to go to you first. that nugget stood out to me and all of my producers. did that little snippet about this unspecified chief judge stand out to you? >> it's an interesting comment, but frankly, joy, we don't know what it means. there are a lot of chief judges. we don't know what the basis for the statement was. i'm a little bit hesitant to get too far out on this one, simply because there's such a lack of clarity. but that certainly underlines the need for doj to be able to proceed with the criminal investigation in this case, particularly

because evan corcoran, that lawyer, makes the assertion to the department of justice, i've done a diligent search, i've looked everywhere in mar-a-lago where these classified records might be be found, and we found none, no more to provide. that's where the obstruction case lies. why did he think he had done a diligent search? why did he think he had no records that were classified remaining? who told him this is where we keep the white house records? >> in all of this, it may be in part how it provoked the committee chair woman carolyn maloney to send a letter to the national archives asking if it determined that donald trump may still hold any records. here is la she wrote to the archives, in light of the serious risk that mr. trump may still be retaining sensitive government records at mar-a-lago or his other properties, i urge the archives to seek a personal certification from donald trump that he has surrendered all presidential records that he illegally removed from the white house after leaving office. so ken, why do you think lawmakers, and others, are concerned that there may stil

i can tell you this, i know evan corcoran, local counsel for me in another case, i met him through thats correct he is as honest as the day is long. i don't believe -- i have no reason to believe he would have done anything dishonest or otherwise. i don't know what to make of it. there is, again -- the question that's going to have to be answered. >> right. because either it seems there are two possibilities here, right, either they weren't telling the truth -- and i'm not suggesting that's a possibility -- or they were so informed that there was nothing in the boxes, correct? >> i think that's right, or there's some kind of translation issue going on, that is, they believed that things were declassified, however, the subpoena of course says marked classified. so they refer to boxes they went through, are they keeping it narrow and not referring to things that were outside boxes. i really don't know. i think it's a fair question that has to be answered. >> again, could they be in any legal jeopardy. >> could they be? i see a lot of commentators suggesting they are. if they misrepresente

saying she's turned overt everything and that trump authorized her to say that the other attorney , evan corcoran, evidentle othey drafth that document. implicatebod in this and both right now are lookingy very much actively at jail time. >> everyone's going to ntur on him. it's happening at this moment. concof course, that can only lead to one conclusion, something they've been pining for over the past seven years. a what we've seen now having crossed the rubicon and sententw those fbi agents down there tonh do that searcher and seizure. and now the doj has gone to the point where it's laying them out on the floor. they're laidg it o on the floore and they're putting these photographs out not i think they're not justese phot, you k, sort of slamming spikinge the ball. they are implicitlball y oreir ha explicitly signaling they're tipping their hand, too. i just don'tnd understand a wor in which nowun merrick garland d could not in i the end indictern trump. >> and i think that's the wheret we're headedrope.. but what is the reality? we don't put anything past the garland justice department ,thou

it may be evan corcoran or christina bobb or could be rudy giuliani. these people are gonna have access to the crown jewels of our classified intelligence information. and as we have heard, there is some pretty explosive stuff in here relating to the national defense. having that information in the hands of people who are not reliable government actors is definitely a risk to national security. >> i -- the other piece of this is the timeline, the government has wanted to wrap this up pretty expeditiously. we are now given an extended deadline here from judge cannon, to november 30th. but there is part of an appeals process for every batch of documents that either side takes issue with, in terms of classification. could this slide into next year, barbara mcquade? >> i'm afraid it could. one thing she did say is that she asked judge dearie to prioritize these 100 or so classified documents. so, he will look at those, make a decision in turn them over. but of course, that is where all the action is. i could imagine donald trump making an argument there, a

. >> i can say this, evan corcoran, one of the lawyers involvedo be m, was hired to ben local council. in another case, fine lawyerthes fine person. as honest as the day is long,e her i don't believe for a secondse that he would have been a part of any misrepresentation to the government and i'm going tow say this, as i've said before, i do not believe and i know him very well now that donald trump would have in any way intentionally, knowingly or willfully had control of't b documents that he didn't believe he was entitleelieve eno control over or did anythingng wrong. that, frankly. com >> so there's a lot more to this story to come out. i mean, where do you think this goes from here? i mean, let's say the judgee appoints this special master tos review materials. what makes us think doj hasn'tad already passed all of thisg to e along to the investigators? invethe other cases?ses? >> great question.ion. so i looks to me after this, to our spirited hearing that the judge is likely to ordermast a special master. she's already indicated that she's going to unseashe's alingl the detailed

evan corcoran is the lawyer who is sort of hanging on here after he has been compromised by the facteview of records for donald trump in which he falsely said that his review was so diligent and so exhaustive that there were no more classified records at mar-a-lago. well, that just turned out to be not true, and that put him in a bad position, compromised essentially as a lawyer for the president because he's a potential witness. we have talked about this a lot. but my understanding is he's more on the combative side, you know, channelling the president's wishes along with boris, and chris kise, as my colleagues have definitely figured out, is the one trying to give former president donald trump sort of the teachable moments about how to deal with the department of justice when you no longer run it. >> teachable. i think jim comey thought he could give donald trump teachable moments about the justice department even when he did run it and we all know how that ended, neal katyal. this is from carol's reporting. she writes in private those familiar with the conversations say kise has q

evan corcoran and christina bob could be prosecuted themselves and might ultimately be forced to becomeent. it started almost immediately can don mcgahn spending 30 hours with robert mueller's very able and skilled and at least it appeared protective investigators who was reported by your paper ushered mcgahn out of a loading dock. what's amazing is that people keep signing up. i mean docks they think michael cohen's checks to porn stars ar fluke? >> so, yeah, mike schmidt and i took a deep dive over the weekend in an extraordinary month of blowback against trump attorneys. there have been two attorneys named recently as targets or potential targets in criminal investigations. then you had a slew of subpoenas that went out, including to some trump lawyers, in more criminal investigations, and then 17 lesser known attorneys all connected to trump had ethics complaints filed against them within the state courts or the state bar just in the last few weeks. and what we've seen is that a bunch of these lawyers are having to get their own lawyers, including christina bob, one the lawyers who
