jacqui heinrich has the very latest. jacqui? >> hi, neil. we just got out of an event with the president and the golden state warriors. he didn't stop to talk to reporters. at the risk of sounding too inside baseball here, as reporters in the white house trying to get answers to questions, it's frustrating to have your questions referred to doj or to have the press secretary say, you know, i've answered this when the question is about an answer that she gave last week that turned out to be incorrected. to have that press conference stacked up against an event that truncates the amount of time that we get to talk to the press secretary. it's not allowed for a huge back and forth. fox didn't get called on today. as well as a number of other people. the press secretary did point to a background call that was held where we should have gotten questions answered but we did not. it was a half hour long. they preselected who they would call on. we didn't get a question in to that. i want to play a sound bite that demonstrates the circular way that t

jacqui heinrich is there in position ready to go. hi, jacqui. >> hi, martha. we know from a timeline from the president's personal lawyers that his personal legal team has been leading these searches at every stage. when they have uncovered classified documents, they stopped searching and called in doj officials. that's what happened in the latest search last wednesday. so the special counsel to the president came in on thursday to pick those papers up accompanied by doj officials and that's when they found more documents. when we found out about this on saturday, richard said while i was transferring it, five additional pages with classification markings were discovered for a total of six pages. the "wall street journal" is reporting the justice department considered having fbi monitor the search by biden's lawyers but decided against it. at this point, it's unclear who made that call. according to the "wall street journal," experts say not having the fbi present preserves the ability to take a tougher line down the road if the negotiations turned hostile. th

first to jacqui heinrich in mexico city covering this trip of the president of the united states. hi, jacqui. >> hey, martha. the big question coming out of the summit is whether there is any plan to address the cartels which are driving this human smuggling across the u.s. border and judging from a press conference, the mexican president held this morning, it doesn't look like we'll see something in that fashion. he is asking the u.s. to find more development of latin american countries to make migration optional. he even called the president's new border program he announced last week just a start. >> i don't have an option to look for a drug dealer. paying him some money and take the risk to cross the border. i see that. okay? i think we have made some progress. it's interesting that canada has an exemplary system. in the case of the united states, there's reluctance. it's a start. it can work. >> biden's new border plan increases legal migration opportunities for people from nicaragua, cuba, venezuela and haiti and ups the consequences if they cross illegally. mexican authoriti
