maggie, let's talk to you you've been doing a lot of reporting on this. the documents being torn up, flush down the toilet that people left back, it's not funny, but ultimately the former president is here in new york, the fbi is there at his house. why do you think it was done this way, do you think it was calculated, and how dangerous may it be, if he would have known that all of this is going on beforehand? >> it's hard to speak to danger. we don't really know we're talking about. we will be held on to documents, that should've been returned to narrow. we don't know if there is additional information or seeking, we don't know a lot about anything about the underlying surest warrant or material. there's a lot of unknowns, a lot of people who are speculating on both sides of this issue. those who are against donald trump and his supporters, about what this means and there's a ton that we don't know yet. what we do know, at least a portion of this if not all does relate to these boxes, these boxes were supposed to have been returned. the fact that this ha

maggie hassan. even though it is a clear and undisputed fact that crime and drugs in new hampshire is directly linked to gangs running out in massachusetts. even though this was a major debate in the u.s. senate, we almost never vote on u.s. attorney nominees. it has been decades. i insisted that we had a recorded vote on rachel's nomination. every democrat like maggie hassan need to be on the record, where there should be a federal prosecutor who refuses to enforce laws that she does not like, refuses to impose sentences that are required by the law. that is exactly what maggie hassan voted for. you see it all across america. excusing criminals. there are two victims in every crime. there is an actual criminal cleared releasing felons from prison early, not arresting them in the first place, eliminating bell system so they can turn around and commit more crimes. you see it in the drug trade across america come over the tragic toll for so many families. you have hundreds die of opioids every year. i

maggie h. voted for. but you see it all across america. excusing criminals, thinking that really there are no criminals, there are two victims of every crime, the actual victim and then there's the criminal who was a victim of society or circumstances or what have you. releasing felons from prison early. not arresting them in the first place. eliminating bail systems so they can turn around and commit more felonies. to intimidate the witnesses of their crimes. you see it in the drug trade all across america. with a tragic tool for so many families. here in the granite state, you have had hundreds diet of opioids every year, year after year. in america for several years, it's been over 100,000 overdose deaths every year. think about that. more than 100,000 deaths. that is almost twice what we lost in the entire vietnam war. every year, after year, after year. and the democrats do nothing about it. in fact, they make the problem worse, by opening our border and creating the worst crisis we have e

how is his camp responding to this, maggie?hed by axios, by mike allen first and i believe the spokesperson for the former president gave a statement suggesting that, you know, it requires desperation to run something like this. that's fine. i mean, this would be a story regardless of who the president was. >> and, maggie, to be clear, when you put out this reporting before they attacked the reporting, but this proves what you wrote to begin with, right? >> right. they attacked the reporting, attacked me personally, you know, this is -- this was a trump white house source, you know, identifying pictures that according to the source showed that what i reported was accurate. >> and to be clear, you can't destroy white house records. this is something that raises all kinds of questions, has come up in the hearings, the january 6th hearings. maggie haberman, thank you for sharing your reporting this morning talking about these pictures and of course the new book "confidence man: the making of donald trump and the breaking of americ

as maggie was saying, it is very p.r. related. they're very critical of the judge doing that, and the doj says they will respond. >> john, when you read this, is this a substantive legal document, or is it -- i mean as maggie and kaitlan are saying, a lot of public relations? >> i think it's a lot of public relations. in fact, it is so weak that the law they rely on -- first, they don't even cite it properly in their brief. but it's u.s. versus nixon, they claim gives a presumptive privilege to all presidential documents. well, that's nonsense. if they'd read the case, that's citing a court of appeals agreement, and then the court -- the supreme court immediately marches away from that and says there is no such privilege presumption. in fact, it is subject to the rule of law, which embraces grand jury information of this nature. so it is a p.r. document. that's all it is. >> judge, have you ever seen a filing like this? i mean is it -- you know, as these filings go, how does it relate to others you've seen? >> i don't even know wh

maggie, thanks for joining us. these pictures of documents in toilets in your new book. what can you tell us about these documents? do we know who flushed them and why? >> so, wolf, i got these pictures recently after i had reported based on research that i was doing for "confident man" that trump had been flushing things down toilets. they were clogging white house residence toilets, and this was a source of discussion and some consternation among some aides and again reported that previously. again, this is trump doing it, as i have been told by multiple sources. initially it was described as people believing he had done it. others described it with more certainty. one of these photos is from the white house, one of these photos is from a trip overseas. both of them are very visibly his handwriting if you blow them up. >> it's interesting because in a statement to axios, a trump spokesperson insinuates that this reporting that documents were flushed down toilets is a fabrication. what do you say to that? >> i say

let's discuss all of this, and more, with maggie haberman of the "new york times," and elliott williamslet's start on the legal front. we are awaiting possibly some more information about why the fbi took the extraordinary step to search trump's home. but there is just a kind of field of problems, a mine field, frankly, of problems for trump. what do you think he should be the most concerned about? >> oh, goodness, abby, all of it for a number of reasons. no investigator can even get in the door, literally, for a search warrant unless probable cause for a crime is found. it's important to step back and realize that number one you have investigators in georgia getting close to that point and number two you had a search warrant executed at the president's home. and then number three, legal woes in new york city. all of it is incredibly concerning, all of it particularly given that it's the former president of the united states being investigated. it's very hard to say that there's one because the totality of it is such a problem. >> we don't know a whole lot. but maggie, what strikes me a

maggie haberman, you've reported and brilliantly extensively on trump's habits over the years. is it at all surprising to you to learn that these highly classified records were actually intermixed with other records and were not properly identified even? >> no, that's the least surprising thing here, wolf. you know, and it's also not surprising that trump dug in and was refusing to give documents back, when he was told to. and thinking of things that were government property as his own. what was striking to me today, in part, about the prrelease of this affidavit, and "the new york times" was among the news organizations that wanted the full thing released, so i understand the justice department has a decision about an ongoing investigation, you know, this is obviously a huge public interest, to see as much as possible. and we saw part of it, but not all of it today. but what you saw was the trump people have been sort of painting this picture of, we've been cooperating. they've been saying this over and over again. the justice department laid out in no uncertain terms that tha

maggie makes a good point. the former president is going to announce and is going to run again. and it is simply because it could just as easily be a ron desantis or someone else that could hype up his base and energize them. >> state by state, are these maga candidates, the election deniers strong or weak candidates in the general election in your view, alissa? >> largely -- statewide, they're largely weak. i worry as a republican for some of these candidates. j.d. vance is not doing nearly as well as he should in consummately red ohio against tim ryan, a popular moderate democrat. i think that there are some instances statewide. in georgia, herschel walker is not doing as well as he should be. but to be honest, in reality 60% of republican voters think that either the election was stolen or there was some sort of significant fraud. so this is an issue that is about educating the voters, like we can't just blame the candidates so much as party leaders at every level have embraced this lie and it's bled down in

maggie -- axios published maggie haberman's reporting. she reported they found documents in trump's toilet. looks like they were flushed down, intentionally disposed of. axios showing these photos. one in the white house, another one is during some kind of a trip. i know people are going to make all kinds of toilet jokes here. the bottom line, these are documents that are supposed to be preserved being destroyed here, dana. >> it's not legal. i mean, there is a law that is in place since the era post-nixon that you have to preserve presidential records. that is the people who work in the white house and the man who was elected to the white house. and that is the rule. which is why you have seen reporting from maggie and others, the then president had a habit of ripping things up and throwing them in the trash. his aides would come quickly along and take them out of the trash and tape them back together, because that is the law of the land. this looks nefarious. we don't know the specifics. i don't know if we're going to get to the bottom

you see what a trump white house source tells maggie haberman is a white house commode.p paper. you can't read most of it, but it is clearly president trump's writing, in his sharpie. the one bit of writing you can make out is you see the name of congresswoman stefanik, a member of the house republican leadership, upstate new york republican who is a defender of trump. trump spokesman, jonathan, tells us that he sees this as a promotional plan for the book. he doesn't really deny it, though. he says people will fabricate things to impress the press but doesn't dispute the authenticity of these photos. >> i can't believe we're doing this. there they are, there are the pictures. >> you're speechless. that's a first. >> let's hurriedly change topics. axios also reports on new data that offers a deeper look of where americans are choosing to live based off their political affiliation. what can you tell us about that? >> this is super interesting. this is why we move. axios, in this election year, has a two americas index, where we're doing polling to illuminate the red/blue
