[laughter] now, i will take it from some of the laughter in the audience that this is not a room full of hoover admirers, and i would like to say here at the outset that i myself am not in admirer of j edgar hoover. i did not set out to write a biography of hoover because i wanted to redeem him or because i wanted to convince other people to admire him in some way. very early on when i was just getting started writing this biography, i was on

paul schiff berman, a law professor at george washington university says the department of justice'spage indictment lays out a clear kate. this indictment is a conspiracy, not just a lie, but 2 develop a whole slate of electors to change the outcome of a democratic election. trump's legal team says the former president was only following the advice of legal advisors. they impeached should be they indict me. trump and his allies like alabama republican senator tommy tuberville the charges are meant to undermine trump's current bid for the white believe president trump let him run but not every republican is running to trump's defense hoped it wouldn't come to this wednesday. his former vp and now presidential rival mike pence said trump put his own interests ahead of the constitution badly. the president was surrounded by a group of crackpot lawyers. >> that kept telling him what is it years wanted to hear to win their case. the prosecution will need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that trump knew he lost in still pursue his strategy. a delusional belief is unlikely to be a persuas

george washington university professor paul schiff, berman says the back and forth between the 2 sides is only delaying the start of the trial, something he says trump's team is hoping for, presumably in hopes that trump would win the election and could then somehow scuttle the federal prosecution altogether. the next hearing is scheduled for august 28th where the judge overseeing the case is expected to set a start date for the trial. >> right now, both sides are still negotiating a date for the hearing on the protective order. that could happen as early as next week. for now in washington, i'm anna wiernicki. back to you. >> thank you, anna. meanwhile, former vice president mike pence who has gotten a lot of attention for his role in january 6th attack will take part in the first republican debate. his campaign confirmed he's reached the threshold of donors needed to qualify to be on the stage. that first gop debate is set for august 23rd in milwaukee. the former vp will join 6 other presidential hopefuls. however, as of today, that group does not include the republican front runner

let's bring in george washington university law professor jonathan turley good evening, jonathan. >>d evening. >> bret: this is a little different. this is a processing that is handled different and it looks like a mugshot is going to happen here for the former president of the united states it does. this is going to be a particularly demeaning process for the president because of that there is going to be a mugshot. there is going to be bond. it's going to have all the elements of the criminal process. some of which he was spared in the earlier indictments. and in the end, it's going to, i think, reaffirm what people already believe about the case on both sides. you know, many on the left have gotten to a point of salute ecstasy in anticipation of this mugshot. there's a type of thrill-kill environment waiting for that mugshot to come out. on the right this is a frustrating moment. they view this as the weaponization of the criminal process by a democratic prosecutor. and that's why i think this is ultimately pretty damaging to our country right now. we are already very divided. and

. >> sandra: jonathan turley is with us, george washington university law professor and fox news contributorthan, great to see you. roughly half of americans say they have no confidence in the hunter biden investigation. you were writing about exactly that. they are losing face -- losing faith in merrick garland and the justice department. there was not a whole lot of faith in the justice department to begin with. but it's dropping to new lows. where does that leave us? >> garland could not have selected anyone with the exception of possible hunter biden worse at this moment than david weiss. it's not that weiss might not be able to defend himself, to counter these allegations. but he just appointed someone who is under this cloud of suspicion, who has been accused by his own team of running a fixed investigation. and by the way, the only way garland could do that was to violate his own regulations which require him to tell -- mandate that it's someone outside the justice department who should be assuming these positions. so there's not much doubt as what's fueling the doubts in the public r
