robert herr's special report and the investigation to the uncovered evidence that president biden was willfully retained and disclosed for materials after his vice presidency was a private city. citizen and report called biden an elderly man and poor memory and diminished faculties and is the 25th amendment now on the table to remove him from office. we're going to ask congressman byron donalds and claudia tenney later in the show and how he's going to stop biden's $95 billion ukraine aid package and senator katie britt taking what joe biden said regarding prime minister. first up, let's go straight to our own edward lawrence standing by at the white house after a very roucous news conference. reporter: yeah, it was interesting and you've been on the other side of some of the big questions smear there were a lot of big questions and news conferences as well as white house press secretary and press briefing and the president defiant over how the special council robert herr characterized him in that report over mishandling classified documents and in the report, he described a man being

herr? then on page six, he claims that a reason he wouldn't bring charges against the president for whom he found no crime is that biden is an elderly man with a poor memory going as far as to say his memory was so poor that biden couldn't even remember when his son beau died. despite the untimely death of beau biden from cancer being a thing that joe biden talks about literally all the time. last night, biden did not hold back in his response. >> i was very honored as a man, viktor orban, he's the leader of -- right, the leader of turkey. by the way, they never report the crowd on january 6th. you know, nikki haley, nikki haley -- nikki haley was in charge of security. we offered her 10,000 people. soldiers, national guard, whatever they want. they turned it down. they don't want to talk about that. >> you saw that guy? biden didn't respond. we're going to play that in a moment. we're going to go with what we got on the scene. it was news to me as i read the report that being old and havin

cheryl: democrats are accusing herr of this political hit job because herr was a trump appointee andow appointed special counsel to do the investigation. if you look at the pictures of the documents in the garage, for instance, it looks like the same as what we saw with president trump in mar-a-lago, they're open boxes, laying around. i'm not defending either person for having these documents just laying around, sensitive classified documents, it's not right on the other side, but joe biden isn't getting charged for that. because he's too old apparently. i don't know. interesting reasons here. >> i'm of the opinion that neither one of these men were selling see cre crest to the ruh --y --secrets to the russians oe chinese. you see the scales of justice weighed differently for president trump versus president biden. if the prosecutor wants to make the argument that no jury would convict a sl sleepy old nice gu, joe biden, i think that's a bibigger problem. the pros you c prosecutor made t during a high pressure moment for the president and for him to report that this is not someone th

all of them seizing on the words in herr's report. but trump himself still not really touching it, anderson. >> what did he talk about? >> well, look, it was a speech for the nra, and it was tailored completely to that. donald trump has kind of now started to tailor his speeches based on who he's talking to. he's never going to have a presidential pivot, but he is going to try to folks s on certain groups. so most of this entire speech was about guns. it was about the second amendment, about bashing the media, making sure no one was going to take away anyone's guns here. and really a big focus on if he was re-elected to the white house how he would seek to protect the second amendment. >> kristen holmes, thanks very much. now breaking news in the former president's own classified documents case. jack smith in new court filings documenting numerous threats against witnesses, judges, and prosecutors. joining us with late details is cnn's evan perez. what do we know about the nature of these threats? >> anderson, the special counsel is s

>> you're talking about herr. >> herr from trump university. i'm sorry.rt. ken -- ken dilanian, so bizarre, and there are so many people that immediately heard this -- these random conclusions, irrelevant conclusions, politically charged trumplike ramblings who first of all, wondered why in the world he would put that in the report. his neurological assessment of joe biden, and secondly, why merrick garland would release garbage like that in the justice department report. can you give us any insight? because it sure sounds like james comey in 2016 who july couldn't indict hillary clinton legally so he decided to hold a press conference and indict her politically. >> joe, i understand where you are coming from in that. i think a lot of people feel that way, but let me give you the explanation that i have heard from justice department officials and from insight into why that was in there, though it did seem gratuitous to a lot of people. if bob herr is saying i have evidence that joe biden willfully retained classified information, then, in fact, he didn't

he very much leaned into and highlighted the distinctions robert herr made between how he handled the classified documents versus former president donald trump, saying he immediately turned in the documents. he allowed for multiple searches, that he sat down for a multi-hour interview. but clearly, sara, this is a white house that is fuming about the fact that almost 400 pages were released when at the end of the day, there were no criminal charges. >> yeah, mj lee, i know the story has legs. we'll be talking a lot about this. thank you for all of your reporting. >>> white house in full damage control mode this morning. >>> also this morning, donald trump is the proud winner of republican caucuses in nevada and the u.s. virgin islands and the supreme court appears to be leaning his way in his fight to stay on colorado's ballot. cnn's kristen holmes is in harrisburg, pennsylvania, where trump is scheduled to speak later today. kristen, any word yet if trump plans to lean in to biden's issues when he takes the stage later? >> reporter: well, it's been so notable that in response to robe

. >> reporter: herr's report about whether he's fit to serve a second term. >> yes, okay, we know.nt biden is old, okay? yeah. it double sound like breaking news to me. >> reporter: it comes amid a string of slipups including thursday when biden mixed up the leaders of egypt and mexico. >> the president of mexico cici did not want to open the gates to let them get in. >> reporter: he couldn't remember the age of his son's death from cancer. the fury even more direct, telling a group of democratic lawmakers, quote, how would i ev effing forget that. >> mr. biden said the name of the french president who led france in the '80s and '90s instead of the current president man yell macron. >> i went to the g7 meeting with all the nato leaders. i was in the south of england and i sat down and said america's back, and the leader of france looked at me and said -- said, you know, how long you back for? >> mr. biden also misspoke during another event this week. he used the name of the german chancellor in the '80s and '90s when he meant the former german chancellor angela merkel. he's not the

herr added that the evidence does not establish mr. biden's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. but later in the report the special counsel wrote that the president could also portray himself at trial as a, woet, elderly man with a poor memory who would therefore be sympathetic to a jury. let's be clear herr's descriptions of biden's memory are the most politically damaging aspects of this report. the special counsel claims biden was confused about when he was vice president and also had difficulty remembering the timing of his son, beau's death. the president then defended himself saying his memory is fine. during a hastily called news conference hours after the report's release, biden blasted it especially over its allegations that he couldn't remember when he his son died. take a listen. >> i know there's some attention paid to some language in the report about my recollection of events. there's even reference that i don't remember when my son died. how in the hell dare you raise that. frankly, when i was asked the question i thought to myself was it any of their damn busines

note robert herr. what's worse?t that he didn't remember or the fact that he didn't remember that he was the one that brought it up. >> i think there is a fairly direct answer that serves the interest of the american people. forget republicans and democrats. forget the congress. and that's to release the transcript. take out anything which involves a genuine secret, and release everything else. if it's true, that, in fact, herr did not ask the question about biden's son and biden himself brought it up, then what does that tell you, that part of biden's deliberate defense at a white house press conference is to lie to the american people, or it's possible, once again, he just forgot. he didn't remember who did what. i think it's a very serious issue. as you know, i think it's way beyond politics. i think, if it's true, that we have a commander-in-chief who is literally incompetent, and the issue for the attorney general is pretty straightforward. merrick garland aside, is it true that they can't prosecute joe biden b

, it appears robert herr is saying were met. what he ends up doing is looking at the soft factors. and you have to do that as a prosecutor. and he takes into consideration things like what he says, maybe this is overstated. maybe not. he says essentially, joe biden would have created a sympathetic picture in front of a jury. he had memory issues, he had age issues, and that goes into was he able to form the mental intent? and the jacket that joe biden cooperated. you can't say i cooperated. it cancels what i did. but it is perfectly appropriate to say from the moment we engaged with them, they were cooperative and to give that a plus. >> is it a given that the entire framing, that this is a comparative scandal. meaning, it's about what trump did versus what biden did or pence did. so fundamentally, the thing that trump is still in trouble for is not cooperating. so in isolation, you're making a very specific argument. but politically, he's going to look out in the public and say fundamentally i did what was asked. he didn't. tha

lot to unpack there but perhaps i will start tonight with a quote from the special counsel, robert herr in his report, noting that sanction between the trump and biden documents cases that he says quite the opposite of what you just heard there. he writes, quote, after being given multiple chances to return classified documents and avoid prosecution, mr. trump allegedly did the opposite. not only refused to return the documents for many months but he also obstructed justice. in contrast, mr. biden turned in classified documents to the national archives in the department of justice, consented to the search of multiple locations, set for a voluntary interview and in other ways, cooperated with that investigation. we're joined tonight by dan goldman who was federal prosecutor in the southern district of new york and the lead counsel for house managers in the first impeachment. thanks for being here. you saw the distinction we just laid out in the two cases but on president biden's itself, does he bear response ability for having these classified documents and for sharing this material, dis

and angrily rebutting some of the allegations specifically when it comes to one particular session herr makes that president biden had forgotten the date of his son beau's death. listen to a little bit of what he said. >> in addition, i know there is some attention paid to some language in the report about my recollection of events. there is even reference that i don't remember when my son died. how in the hell dare he raise that? frankly when i was asked the question, i thought it wasn't any of their damm business. let me tell you something. i wear since the day he died the rosary he got from our lady of. every memorial day we hold a service day for him. i don't need anyone. i don't need anyone to remind me when he passed away. >> reporter: so you hear there, president biden forcefully rebutting the claims about his memory. now we should say the special council robert herr declined to bring criminal charges and made a favorable comparison between biden and former president trump's own handling of classified documents. but certainly the political ramifications of this report will reverb

wrongful materials and the justification was based again on his lack of mental faculties, which herr suggested would lead to problem securing a conviction. that was the bone he threw them and i don't know what they're looking for, but i guess both. elizabeth: what katie said, on top of that, the thing is, gene, he's not allowed his vice president or u.s. senator to have u.s. secrets at all. he was blaming his own staff for keeping u.s. secrets in multiple locations like his basement den, his garage, and open boxes on things like afghanistan and more. we're in a strange world today and it's being prosecuted and essentially the same exactling. thing joe biden has done whenever. they've seen the pictures of the garage and supposely full of classified documents and one of the primary reasons why the commercial council can didn't recommend going farred with special prosecution was because of joe biden's mental faculty and if you're in such a bad place and individual that you cannot be prosecuted or a criminal offense and then how in the world are you properly serving and confidently servi

him is mentioning any of the lines about biden's mental fitness when he's talking about the robert herr report. he's leaving it to allies now. unclear that's going to change, but it's notable given he has campaigned largely on the fact he's stronger than joe biden. >> kristen, thanks for the reporting. >>> and joining us now, democratic congressman from new york, daniel goldman. i wanted to ask you, behind closed doors at the house democratic caucus yesterday, i'm told the president gave a preview to how frustrated he was with a little more maybe less tv friendly profanity to some degree. are you aware -- did you get some of that information last night before that hastily called press conference? >> i did not personally get that. i think he met with leader jefferies and some of the other leadership members. but what i did understand from talking to folks at the white house is that part of the problem and part of the frustration with special counsel herr, a republican appointee, cherry picking very few remarks from a five-hour interview, is that there are other occasions where president

we want to know exactly what those documents were and we want to know if herr actually interviewed jimn because, look, this family as you know very well has been involved in influence peddling for decades. this is shady. this is counter to everything we stand for in america and it's a threat to our national security. maria: joining me right now is michigan congresswoman, house oversight committee member and house armed services committee member, lisa mcclain. lisa, great to have you. congresswoman, i think that at this point we all want to understand where this investigation is going and now we know that there were these classified documents about ukraine. what are your thoughts and what specifically does the oversight committee think they'll find? >> well, first and foremost, what we're trying to deliveries transparency and truth to the american people. i think with having bobulinski come in on tuesday and actually sit down and do a transcribed interview with him, we will find out the connection on what specifically were you peddling. one, the president has repeatedly denied that he e

herr, they may be valid but i don't like to presume a prosecutor is acting in bad faith, because i was never a prosecutor and i wasn't a criminal defense lawyer, but i used to write reports for clients as a result of internal corporate investigations. and when you reach a conclusion and you're trying, you reach a conclusion probably because of two or three principal reasons, there's a tendency among us lawyers to add the other 50 reasons. just in case, to basically bolster our conclusion, to make clear to everybody we did a lot of work, and also, we don't want to be faulted if somebody said, why did you, you asked a lot of questions about that, why didn't you write that up? it could very well be that he was just being a nerdy lawyer inserting all that stuff. maybe he should not have done it, maybe he should have phrased it differently. i find it hard to second-guess that. in any event, the notion that somehow, that joe biden is getting trashed on for forgetting a few things, whatever they are, you showed that clip of donald trump. you could do a five hour, a weekend special on all the

this is special counsel robert herr looking into the handling of classified records that wouldn't be in joe biden's possession after he left the senate and vice presidency found in two locations connected to him. president joe biden did speak to this, along with other witnesses. when this report is released, the special counsel has to get findings to congress and to the attorney general. it will lay out the findings of what happened with the classified documents. important point that the sources are telling others on this story, there are no criminal charges expected in this special counsel investigation. the special counsel has the power to bring criminal charges. the other expectations here is that politically, this report -- and its release, could invite comparisons to the case against donald trump. the criminal case against donald trump, related to the mishandling of classified roar records after he left the white house at mar-a-lago. to reiterate, there's a difference in the special counsel's report, where one results in criminal cases and the other is a report of, this is the l

we saw an emotional response to that from the president last night as he basically said to robert herr, how dare he ask that question. we are also learning this morning that in private yesterday he really erupted in anger again about that issue related to his son, but he said in a private meeting with democrats in virginia, how would i effing forget that? obviously, the issue here we are talking about is not about the white house taking issue with these unflattering and gra tus us to, according to them, comments about his memory lapses and, you know, recall problems, and that they do speak to this broader issue that voters have raised about his age and his mental acuity that is going to be a big issue heading into november. here are some of the ways the president answered a number of those questions last night. >> i'm an elderly man, and i know what the hell i'm doing. >> how bad is your memory? can you continue as president? >> my hememory is so bad i let u speak. that's -- >> do you believe your memory has gotten worse -- >> look, i'm the most qualified person in this country to be p

now, president biden, his number 2 and democrats alike are all blasting robert herr for the remarks in that report about bidens age and his struggle to remember things in his interview. >> the comments were made, inaccurate, inappropriate. they are calling this the sequel of the attack of the six foot monster. >> james trashed hillary clinton. >> there is a feeling like this. >> herr went so far. >> he is out combing it is not good >> this is not like what he did. according to the legal team for starters, james comey worked for the f.b.i. but he is running the department of justice, he legally required to right a report. compiling a report highly critical of trump even though he was not charging trump, either. while it is fair to question how hur came to his conclusions, it is questionable to suggest that he should not have included them at all. now, republicans, their view depends on the letter next to the name. while mueller was investigating trump you heard this. >> the big complaint have mueller was not senate approved. >> you tweeted about bob mueller and his thugs >> bob mueller

. >> let's turn now to the report from special counsel robert herr who concluded he's not going to bring criminal charges and one of the reasons he's not bringing criminal charges is because he thinks it would be difficult to prosecute president biden because he might appear quote, sympathetic, well meaning, elderly man with a poor memory. the white house is pushing back. one official telling cnn they viewed some of the criticism well out of line and just wrong but this is going to be used quite a bit. it's already being used by speaker johnson. if you're too old and feeble, i'm paraphrasing, then you're too old and feeble to be president. >> here's my take, jake, and i say this as someone who publicly doesn't want donald trump anywhere near the white house again. this is troubling. and kate and i have talked about this before. this age issue is a huge issue. and i think only joe biden can address this issue. even before this report today, this was going to be a huge issue. biden's got to get out there and aggressively show the american people he can do the job and if he can do that, he'

. >> that's right, amanda, special counsel robert herr released a report after his investigation into president biden's handling of classified documents. now in the report, herr, who was appointed by former president trump, wrote that his assessment of mr. biden's mental acuity and his power of recall was hazy, fuzzy, faulty and having significant limitations. the report suggests that the documents could have been brought to his former office in dc and at his home in delaware by mr. hirsch said the evidence does not establish mr. biden's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. the president is lashing out at his assessment of his memory, especially his statement claiming he did not remember even within several years when his son beau died. >> how in the hell dare he raise that? frankly, when i was asked a question, i thought to myself, wasn't any of their business. >> former president trump called this report selective prosecution action since he is facing criminal charges over his mishandling of classified documents at mar a lago. now, in contrast to president biden, who cooperated with the

it is worth noting that this is a situation where bob herr and jack smith agree. rob herr is a special counsel who appointed to investigate the president of the united states. that would never happen under a trump 2.0. there is a special counsel now who is investigating and prosecuting hunter biden, his son. none of that would happen with a presidency that didn't believe in the rule of law. and here where you have a special counsel, who is heading that position, he himself is saying these are two different types of cases. so you really don't have -- it is going to be hard to sort of smear jack smith when you have rob herr saying the same thing, . >> i won't play it again. but when you look at the irrefutable reality as articulated by bill barr, that this case is open and shut, that trump is in the deepest of all deep legal doo doo, so said bill barr and every other republican who hasn't, you know, carry around their maga 2.0 membership cards. what do you make of every legal maneuver coming from the trump side? >> so, we agree with bill barr. i don't get to say tha

robert herr submitting his report after a year of investigating biden. in case you forgot classified documents going back decades were found at joe biden's house, in his tkwarage. at one point they were housepugh in china town. despite that reports show no charges against the president. despite his gross negligence. a million migrants encountered at the border since october. that's already a record. that's more people than live in austin, texas. border patrol arrested 160 gang members but many got away and infest our neighborhoods. where is the fbi? the bureau is busy catfishing american citizens. en trapping a dad in tennessee, paul f. ey. a under cover agent messaged the dad on-line. he was suspicious and asked are you with the fbi. they said no, for a year they built a relationship. paul f. ey fantasized about taking a sniper rifle to the border. he didn't do that. he wasn't arrested for that. instead a under cover agent asked paul about a silencer. paul said i can get that for you. he gives him a hundred bucks and paul gave him a silencer. now paul i

. >> special counsel robert herr also writing the evidence does not establish mr. biden's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. the report did establish that biden kept sometimes top secret material pertaining to the military and foreign policy. they also said that biden kept handwritten notebooks that had information implicating sensitive intelligence sources and methods, some found inside his delaware home. next to ordinary items, which they deemed was considered junk. the special counsel, noting that that set him apart from trump, stating biden turned in classified documents to the national archives and the department of justice consented to the search of multiple locations, including his home, sat for a voluntary interview, so shah, abc news, los angeles, is. >> my mom was a hero. >> a son's pain put into words as police in the east bay say they've now identified his mother's killer for more than 50 years ago, a california woman false dozens of feet down into a hole. >> and you would not want to be where she ended up. we'll tell you how it turned out. plus, hey , sa

robert herr saying they didn't have enough evidence to fully establish his guilt beyond a reasonableowel. this has pain staging details about the notes in the garage, the den, the offices that contained classified materials in some decrepe i documents. one is a handwritten memo that was classified that the vice president wrote to president barack obama, encouraging him not to send in more troops, but what's more problematic, some of these materials were shared at the time with the president's ghost writer working on his memoir. what is striking about the report is many, many harsh details about they memory problems that the president had, including when he was being interviewed by the special counsel. a couple examples, it says the president didn't remember what years he served as vice president. another example is that it says in a trial, biden would likely present himself to a jury as a sympathetic, well-meaning man with a pier memory. the report also lays out the full scope of the president's operation in this matter. turning over the documents immediately, all of that, of course,

but the issue is how he chose robert herr to explain why. did he paint outside the lines, in your view, when he included what democrats to be editorializing about the president's age? >> there was a generous amount of editorializing, no doubt. but i'd rather be an indictment of my memory and ability to understand certain things than an indictment of a grand jury. no doubt the special counsel pointed to president biden's age, his ability to remember things and that it would be convincing before a jury that, you know what, maybe this is a regular guy. but it went a little more than one would expect. >> when you talked about that and said, well, you'd rather have this than a grand jury saying, okay, you're indicted, but there is politics at play here. >> of course. >> and it is being used politically. i'm just curious if you've seen something like this, not when it comes to a president but a special counsel talking about such personal things as he couldn't remember the date, as he says in the report, of his son's death. >> the relevancy of that

he gave robert herr wide latitude to write the report. it comes back to merrick garland's aimed -- aims to politicize the justice department. he said he let them reach their own conclusions. host: destruct that out? guest: i think people inside the justice department think that merrick garland should have narrowly tailored the report so it wasn't so descriptive about bidens memory. host: less than 10 minutes left with hugo lowell from the guardian. this is john waiting in new york, thanks for waiting, independent. caller: i've been watching this but i get the impression that this journalist is focusing like a laser beam on donald trump. i wouldn't, journalist, i would call him a lobbyist for the democratic party, that's my opinion. host: how long have you been working on political investigations and what other ones do you cover? guest: i've been covering the trump investigations and week covered the january 6 committee as well as biden. before that, i covered sports corruption like the national olympic committee and the russian doping sca

is doubling down insisting his memory is fine and he defends the findings of the special council, herr's report. roll tape. >> president biden, something the special council said in his report is that one of the reasons you were not charge second-degree because in his description, you're a well meaning, elderly man with a poor memory. >> i'm well meaning and an elderly man and know what the hell i'm doing. >> if the american people have been watching and have expressed concerns about your age. >> that is your judgment. that is your judgment. that is not the judgment of the press. stuart: steve, that was a hastily called press conference and made things worse and came across like an angry old man. >> exactly but that's what he s. there's plenty of reporting about that that in private, he's not even the nice old man like special counsel report said with good intentions and mean and yells at his aids and loses his temper the whole time and the truth is this man, he never evey biden is nothing but a completely empty machine politician that doesn't believe in anything, never has. he's just ri

the attorney general sent a letter to congress saying herr has submitted a report to the attorney general but that report has gone to the white house counsel's office. they're reviewing it for possible privilege. our reporting is there are no criminal charges expected here. this is expected to being a very detailed report. >> anxious to read it. paula reid, thank you guys very, very much. big day coming up tomorrow. >>> just ahead, we'll have the latest on the diplomatic efforts to secure a hostage and cease-fire deal in gaza as u.s. and israeli sources are weighing in. two leading candidates for senate. two very different visions for california. steve garvey, the leading republican, is too conservative for california. he voted for trump twice and supported republicans for years, including far right conservatives. adam schiff, the leading democrat, defended democracy against trump and the insurrectionists. he helped build affordable housing, lower drug costs, and bring good jobs back home. the choice is clear. i'm adam schiff, and i approve this message. >>> secretary of state antony blin

colonel benjamin scribner, herr of the 38th indiana, wrote that, the ridge is steep and crooked. the road much of the way is composed of logs one end of which rests on side of the mountain. the other end supported in a horizontal position by props, thus forming a sort of corduroy road. at one point near the summit, a stream of water runs down the mountainside. the logs, it was rickety, insecure, makeshift, a road and was so narrow that only in places could to teams pass each other. now the drought ended about the 2nd of october first. second october that night, pouring down rain and the anderson turned into a mud bath. mules were mired up to their bellies. wag were stopped up to their hubs and the road. it was so bad that it would take two weeks to make a round trip and the mules would have to eat two thirds of what was in their wagons in order to even make it to mules would die of starvation on the road. they'd fall into the off the mountain and road was just lined with mule carcasses. it was a nightmare. to make matters worse, on october the third, joey wyler's cavalry made a r

because what special counsel's robert herr's report did is put not writing what many in the democratic establishment have already known but didn't want to say out loud that biden is not fit to serve out the rest of this career let alone another four years. but now it's out in the open. they cannot put these concerns back in the box where they've kept them so the question is, what do they do now? >> trace: yeah, that's the question, what do you do now and i want to put this up because an attorney general in west virginia a idea, mike, i'm going to get your take on this but first the abc news ipsos poll showing you, not this, the abc poll where it says 86%, is it 86% people say that he is not going to make it, too old to serve another term. now if you can put the west virginia attorney general patrick mores situate letter, i am writing to urge you, talking to kamala harris, to invoke your powers under section four of the 25th amendment and declare that president biden is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. mike davis, some are asking, maybe at least get the ball roll

explaining why all of that extraneous stuff was irrelevant and why the relevant conclusion by robert herris a very conservative republican, the relevant conclusion was that joe biden committed no crime. he was careless. a lot of people are careless. but he did not commit a crime and the distinctions between his careless retention of some documents that were classified then cooperating fully with the government's request to get them back. the distinction between that and the blatant obstruction of justice that is charged against donald trump in the case pending before judge cannon's court, that distinction is sort of night and day. and the suggestion by donald trump and his quite frivolous motion that this was selective prosecution, the latest gambit he's claimed before the judge is just without any merritt. although given judge cannon's record, you never know what she's going to do next. i think the time has come and it will i think be upon us soon, for jack smith to seek in the 11th circuit to have her removed from this case because she has handled the prosecution in mar-a-lago in a way

. >> we think robert herr the special counsel decided not to charge the president with anything.the attorney general should make it public. so we will know what joe biden did. we know the white house is worried about any photos that might exist of classified documents, maybe in his garage or some other place and here's the thing. democrats will point out that the difference between the biden case and president trump's case in which he has been indicted on dozens of counts involving classified information the difference there is that trump is accused of obstructing justice in the and biden is not. but on the basic issue did they mishandle classified documents, i think in the end you will have a lot of republicans saying biden did it, too? what is the big deal here? >> bret: right. then you have the possibility alleged some of the documents go back to the time of senate. that's where you have a scif, an area in the senate where you can't really take the documents out of there and senators even on the democratic side say how in the heck did that happen? the attorney general's letter

the first lady suggesting in a fund-raising email special counsel robert herr was trying to score political report. willie? >> aaron gilchrist with the president in wilmington. aaron, thank you so much. kristen welker is the moderator of "meet the press." great to see you. a lot to wade through. you had the decision from a federal appeals court this week that donald trump does not get immunity in some of these cases and that special counsel report, we should point out, said no charges should be brought against president biden in the classified documents investigation. but all of the focus seems to be on president biden's mental fitness. of course he's skipping that super bowl interview again today. is there new strategy from the white house to attack what is an issue not just for republicans but for democrats as well? >> well, willie, i think that the white house, the biden campaign, are in the process of working on a new strategy, because if you talk to allies of president biden, they say this is a five-alarm fire. that scathing language in the special counsel report, which, you're right,
