mar-a-lago is representative of -- of the sort of trump project and the people who are in mar-a-lago now talking about pizzagate, talking about how january 6th was an inside job, that those are the people you're going to see at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. i mean do you get the sense these are the loyalist trump will want to bring with him if he goes back to washington, d.c.? >> i do. and that's important to remember as we think about trump in a potential next term. people think, well, you know, there was a lot of craziness in his first term but nothing much changed, and that was true in some cases because of people trump brought with him. he didn't have anybody who was sort of mirroring his ideology. he brought a lot of people who were just republican mainstream people, and a lot of them saw their jobs as keeping trump away from policymaking and keeping things mainstream. that wouldn't happen again. this would be a very different administration. and you're right the people around in mar-a-lago now, they're there because they realize that's what he's like. they realize he's malleable an

if you wanted to make a change, mar-a-lago would be a place where no one would listen to.elected -- that's a self-selected crowd around people who want trump to see them. i don't think there is anyone within mar-a-lago trying to change the place from the inside. i think they justly. >> for anybody who hasn't seen it, there is video my pictures, it really brings to life a terrifying subculture that could very well be in the white house in 2025. it is essential reporting from the new york times. david, thank you for your time tonight. still to come this evening, we have new polling about what democrats want in their residential candidate and what they are willing to do, and it is a lot to defeat donald trump. that is next. hi when anyone in this house wears white, it doesn't stay white for long. white? to soccer? i'm not gonna slide tackle. but now with tide oxi white, we can clean our white clothes without using bleach even works on colors. i slide tackled. i see that. it's got to be tide. ♪ ♪ have you always had trouble losing weight i see that. and keeping it off? same. d

but inside the walls of mar-a- lago, that is what actually happened.ot just somebody talking in the corner somewhere. these are people on the stage speaking in mar-a-lago's ballroom. often with trump there. that the 2020 election was stolen. january 6th was somehow set up by the feds and pizza gate is real. if you don't remember that, that's a conspiracy there is a pizzeria here in washington, a place where democrats molest and eat and kill children. a an outlandish conspiracy theory. it is a place where you can deny reality and find a bunch of people to deny it with you. >> i think for what should bring chills down everyone's spine, this is not just relegated to mar-a-lago. donald trump is the presumed nominee. this is a place where his aides gather and where this kind of conspiracy fear mongering is affecting other republicans. do you think like the trump hotel in washington dc, mar-a- lago is representative of the sort of trump project and the people who are in mar-a-lago now talking about pizzagate. how january 6th was an inside job. those are the

israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu traveling to mar-a-lago to meet with former president trump, mending their relationship, shaken after netanyahu recognized that joe biden won the 2020 election. the meeting 24 hours after netanyahu met with president biden and vice president harris and trump criticizing his new opponent. here's abc's terry moran. >> now i'm honored. come on in. >> reporter: today a warm greeting from donald trump for israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu at mar-a-lago. the two men meeting face to face after three years of frosty relations, ever since netanyahu congratulated joe biden for beating trump in 2020, infuriating trump, who to this day denies he lost that election. trump and netanyahu briefly took questions in a darkly lit room. the prime minister was asked about the ceasefire/hostage release deal in gaza that's been in the works for nearly two months. >> do you feel like after this trip, mr. prime minister, we're any closer to a ceasefire deal? >> i hope so. but i think time will tell. we're certainly eager to have one. and we're working on it. >

he will be at mar-a-lago and so will people who want to make friends with him. that's probably the place where the nexus will happen if he's re-elected. >> even the people who want to make friends with him you wrote trump transformed the place into a white house exile and this week on gary's prime minister shared an image from his visit to mar-a-lago after visiting with putin in recent weeks on a self-described peace mission. what have you learned if anything about trips to mar-a- lago by foreign government agents? >> trump was president. he used it as a way to host foreign dignitaries. the president of japan was there, the president of china. those made money for trump. his club charge the u.s. government for everything. rooms, food, plants in the background and water they drink. that was a big moneymaker for him. as he said it's a place where foreign governments, emissaries can come meet him. we don't know any examples of spies undercover agents there. you don't need to be undercover. if you're just someone who represents that government is better for you to b

we will keep an eye on mar-a-lago for any news out of that meeting. 102 days away from election day 2024, hard to believe. the trump campaign trying to spotlight vice president harrah looked dominick harris as a liberal who pushed the button administration to the left. to harris campaign is trying to set its own narrative. >> freedom ♪ ♪ freedom >> you are ultraliberal we don't want you here or anywhere. kamala you are fired get out of here you are fired. ♪ ♪ >> bret: we have complete fox team coverage karl rove and hillary vaughn and moments but first william la jeunesse live in los angeles good afternoon, william. >> good afternoon, brett. one issue she is facing his immigration and while many are quibbling about a job title of border czar there is little debate about the assignment she wat from or through central america and mexico and that did not happen. >> the overall issue which is root causes and then deal with what is happening at the border. >> that was vice president kamala harris' assessment after a four hour visit to the border six months

as "new york times" reports, mar-a-lago is the epicenter. it helps us understand how grave and high the stakes are of november's presidential election. donald trump manages to make the oval office the, quote, seat of criminality, the supreme court tketa ♪ ji brown jackson has -- dozens of members of congress have made the trip to kiss the ring, including mike johnson. "new york times" also reports, since he left office and increasingly aligned with the fringe, photos of people and events at mar-a-lago reflect the right-wing personalities have become more woven into the tapestry of the club, including, according to the times report, more than two dozen speakers from the reawaken america group, let in parkly -- a filmmaker hayes held premieres, one including promoting the like that the election was stolen, and i high-level weaponization of the justice system against conservatives. new video from the times reveals the dangerous conspiracy theory-fueled rhetoric heard day in and day out at mar-a-lago. >> a fringe minority who hates this country

there his new residence is mar-a-lago in florida, as you know. but they have beefed up, out of an abundance of caution number specific intelligence that something would happen at trump tower. based on the events today, you can see any of the trump properties where he stayed, where he might stay, they face increase the law enforcement presence until everybody figures out exactly what's going on here. we see no indication that there are any other individuals involved. on the other hand, nobody, so far, has told us that there are no other individuals involved. and that is obviously part of the active investigation. they do have images of this person. they do have their body. so, presumably, they do have an identification as well. and, so, we'll continue to track the specifics about this person, what may have led up to it. and all the questions that we would normally ask including the type of weapon that may have been used in this. but, obviously, law enforcement, i can tell you up and down the east coast tonight, acutely aware of what happened today

i sat down for an exclusive interview at his home in mar-a-lago. mr. trump was with me just moments before he departed for that rally in pennsylvania. we wrapped up in the afternoon. later afternoon he left on his plane and landed in pennsylvania. an extended interview, a host of issues including his much-anticipated vice presidential announcement. he told me and our own bret baier he will do that today. >> the reports that the biden campaign now is polling vice president kamala harris in the strength against you to see how she would do. so, mr. president, what i realize is it has to almost be her if it's not biden if they want that money, that campaign cash, that $90 plus million dollars. her name is on the ticket with him. if she slides to the top that makes logical sense or otherwise apportioned in different ways. she is younger. do you care if it's kamala harris that you run against? what would you do if it were? >> she has some very radical left ideology. the country is tired of woke. the country is tired of all of these crazy things. open borders

it is striking we are not seeing cameras go into mar-a-lago for this.might get some readout from the campaign. i'm sure they will put something out online. we haven't seen that much of donald trump since kamala harris has become the de facto nominee. he is giving a speech tonight. he will have a rally tomorrow with vance in minnesota, a state the trump campaign would love to put on the map here. we are watching his campaign try to grapple with the change in the environment. how to define kamala harris. they are setting on going after her record on the border. a lot in flux as the former president is in his south florida residence. >> notable that he focused on wrapping up the war because it's bad pr for israel. it's hurting their reputation. arguably, it's true but not because of the suffering of the palestinians. >> a lot of things in terms of the world stage. >> sam, the obamas endorsement, that video, they put that out. we heard from michelle obama before barack obama. she might be the bigger draw on the campaign trail. i think they would both admit

netanyahu will now head to trump's home at mar-a-lago. the two have not met in person since donald trump was president more than three years ago. you see all of this coming in in the last couple of minutes. so we don't have an exact meeting time but we know it is soon. having been there recently to interview donald trump at mar-a-lago, the airport is not far from his house. we'll cover this stem to stern. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." we reported to you that president biden and vice president kamala harris met with the israeli prime minister separately this week. and just how those leaders are talking about the ongoing war between one of our longest allies, israel, is making huge news. she is running for biden's job so maybe that's why they didn't meet together. maybe their plan forward would be different. of course, the hostage taking terror group hamas is at the center of this all recently before this week biden had said and before he dropped out of the race for the white house that he would consider talking t

prime minister orban spent today down in florida meeting with former president trump at his mar-a-lago resort, a meeting that comes just a week after prime minister orban became the first western leader to travel to moscow and visit with russian president vladimir putin in more than two years. that meeting was so out of boundsas compared to where the rest of dwrurp stands on the issue leaders of both the eu and nato itself released statements making clear orban in no way represented either of their organizations with his visit. so the european union and nato distanced themselves from orban, and donald trump embraces him. this is maybe not all that surprising. viktor orban, vladimir putin, and donald trump have a lot in common. in addition to what amounts to a sortou of strong man fan boy cl they are all members of, they are all the intent of upending thete long-standing democratic mejmony. tonight donald trump and viktor orban had a powwow presumably planning what to do after november. so, yes, vladimir putin isaf waiting for november. so is zelenskyy, so is biden, and so is the world.

that runs along the perimeter emitter of mar-a-lago and that road closure will essentially last. we're told through at least election day. we are told that protesters will be kept on sidewalks bucks on the western part of the bridge that connects the mainland out to palm beach. and that really no one is going to be able to get onto a palm beach itself anywhere brittany or the mar-a-lago property, streets around here were told will go into lockdown an hour before the israeli prime minister arrives here at trump's it's mar-a-lago property which we're told will be around 11:00 in the morning. of course, the concern going into today is what is going to happen when some of these pro-palestinian supporters gather? either at the same location that we believe supporters of the former president, as well as supporters of israel, will also gather here later today. here now is the sheriff talking about the overall security approach going into today i know somewhat a protesters like to shut rose down and make a statement not aid going to happen here. >> we're not going to allow it i'll bring

i think we shouldn't lose the sense of what was unfolding down at mar-a-lago today, as we talk about future of the democratic party. >> yeah. you can't trump proof this scenario, alex. first of all, europe cannot make all the kind of defense support that europe provides for ukraine. europe, even collectively its military strength is nowhere near the conversation with united states and so, what that means is that ukraine could be cut off and ukraine could be subject to russian domination in russia could push further into trying to destabilize other parts of europe, but beyond that, alex, the momentum of global politics, we have seen this recently in the french election, it is teetering between a full swing of the pendulum in the direction of the trump's and the modi's and the benjamin netanyahu's, and the orban's we could list a bunch of strawmen, or can the pendulum kind of edge back in the direction of people who just want to at least protect the democracies that we have? and that is what is at stake here, because of trump wins the message that that pendulum will swing hard in the o

visit is capped off with a trip to mar-a-lago.eli prime minister benjamin netanyahu will sit down with former president trump in florida one day after separate one-on-one meetings with president biden and vice president harris. this round robin with american leaders has been met with intense protest in washington, which have elicited condemnation from top members of both parties. it's also been met with mounting skepticism from families of the 111 hostages who have been held in gaza since october 7th. nbc news international correspondent raf sanchez joins us now in tel aviv. raf, here's what former president trump said yesterday about the war in gaza. >> yeah, i want him to finish up and get it done quickly. you got to get it done quickly because they are getting decimated with this publicity. israel has to handle their public relations, their public relations are not good, and they've got to get this done fast. >> you got to think the message netanyahu will hear from trump today is going to be different from what he heard from th

i didn't say that at mar-a-lago. right? i also have another philosophy. whether i like your dislike you, if something bad happens in your life, i want to be the first person to talk to you. one thing i learned in life is we have too many facebook friends. we don't have real friends. the first thing that happens when something that happens in july, everybody abandons you. i want to tell you, not to help you, i want to know how you're doing as a person. i'll do that on both sides of the aisle. i don't take anything else. i think aspr's aqim i'm going to get. you can play anything you want to be going to mar-a-lago but i can -- i i was down the doinga fundraiser. what i come by and see the present? yet. and i think all the attention was luckless to what the back story behind that one? thought so. i get asked if i could come by and see, look, i like president trump. we have good relationships. we yell at each other at times. we have had relationships at times. but my relationship with him is i don't criticize a motive because they don't think it makes a diffe

he's been riding around the golf cart at mar-a-lago talking with his wealthy friends.now me well enough to know this, i ran because i never bought on to the trickle down economic theory. i never bought into the notion that we have to walk away from the rest of the world in a cave to putin or anybody else. i've never believed any of, that and i'm confident that's who the american people are. >> by the way, this morning the president also sent a two-page letter to his democratic allies writing among other things, quote, the question of how to move forward has been well-aired for over a week now and it is time for it to end. we have one job and that is to beat donald trump. joining us now nbc news white house correspondent gabe gutierrez, nbc news capitol hill correspondent, ryan nobles and susan page. washington bureau chief at usa today. this interview and the letter to democrats, this seems to be the beginning of a reset for the biden campaign. >> reporter: yeah, that's right, jose. look, the campaign and the white house have said now for the last several days they do

what can you tell us from mar-a- lago tonight? >> all quiet out here right now. our team has been unseen for about seven hours now. throughout that time, we have not seen a single caravan or convoy of vehicles come or go that would suggest either the former president or member of his immediate family were being caravan to or from mar-a-lago. you mentioned it's, the former president and where his wife melania considers home and where his youngest child, parent trump, considers him. we do not know the whereabouts of those members of his immediate family tonight. we know the former first lady had been expected, i say had been, because this is from before this attempted assassination on the former president. she was expected to be at the rnc in milwaukee this upcoming week. we don't know if she was here in transit or in the rally with the former president. we do not have those details, o but i can tell you we haven't seen anything to suggest they were coming or going from here with the secret service caravan no demonstrable convoys with lights flashing which we often

or the mar-a-lago case. is really stuff that happened before he was president or personal, not official conduct while he was president. and then mar-a-lago is all about the illegal retention of documents after he was president. so i don't think those are covered. but i can't stress enough how big a loss this was in terms of they basically said that the civil standard that official presidential conduct, even if it violates criminal law, is subject to absolute immunity and the only remaining issue is the factual issue about whether certain conduct can be described and accurately described versus official and unofficial. but the court said there's a presumption the activity is official. so this is i think not just a huge loss for this administration, but i just think this is a huge loss in terms of the american public and our relationship to the presidency where the president has given just really a blank check in terms of his conduct. >> and it puts as you were pointing out, the burden of proof on the prosecut

kristen holmes for us, very interesting day in a near the mar-a-lago resort down there. appreciate your time as always joining me now with their reporting and analysis. cnn's alayna treene, jeff mason of reuters and semafor's kadia goba, alayna, i want start with you because you have this great piece out this morning. with our colleague kylie atwood, where one trump adviser kind of framed trump's willingness to meet with netanyahu is like a level of benevolence. i'm paraphrasing a little bit. what would you wouldn't necessarily always associated with the former president and in particular, this relationship. what are the trump advisers want out of this? >> well, so interesting because they actually said that there is no overarching message or goal that donald trump wants to really convey to netanyahu during this meeting that they're going into it. it's going to be open-ended, however, of course, we know that donald trump has repeatedly said he wants to see this war end quickly than it's a public relations nightmare for israel, though. he also provides no specifics on how

netanyahu's motorcade has already left mar-a-lago today. we know he spent about two hours with the former president. trump is expecting to speak tonight at the believers summit in west palm beach at the convention center right behind me. a busy day for the former president, and of course live from their giving you the la latest. >> i want to go to this brigadier general, israel defense and security chairman and founder. general, very good to have you. you have heard what donald trump was saying about kamala harris' remarks to benjamin netanyahu. that they were not nice, and benjamin netanyahu characterize what she said after that meeting that he had with her as not being the same as what was said in that meeting with her. don't know who is right and what is right, but i wanted to get your thoughts. >> i think looking at what's going on inside gaza, these defense forces are fighting. according to international law -- israeli forces are tryig to minimize casualties on the civilian side. there is no hunger inside gaza. there is no crisis insid

the bridge actually closed the mar-a-lago completely closed stopping road traffic particularly because of the protests we have seen and images from the last few days. we know net now met with congress and vice president kamala harris and president biden and dozens of protesters were arrested in multiple american flags were burned. yesterday on fox news former president trump who has been a staunch supporter of israel said in the country needs to find a way to end of the conflict because it is hurting israel's reputation globally. they are in the meeting right now. after that meeting we do know president trump will come to the convention hall behind me for a turning point action conference. we will definitely hear from him they are but we are starting to get those things out of the meeting. the big takeaways at this point are the negotiations for those hostages, one asus fire would be negotiated, and stuff around the relationship would be between these two eat leaders. >> madison alworth thank you. >> gillian: we saw this sound bite from mar-a-lago with prime minister netanyahu and form

yes but i didn't say that mar-a-lago.or that basis. i also have another philosophy. whether i like you or dislike you, if something bad happens in your life, i want to be the first person to call you. one thing i learned in life is, we have too many facebook friends and we don't have real friends.the first thing that happens when something bad happens in your life, everybody abandons you. i want to call you not maybe to help but know how you're doing as a person i will do that on both sides of the aisle. i just think the person of who i am i'm going to do that. you can put anything you want into me going to mar-a-lago but i simply got a phone call and i was down there doing a fundraiser and what i come by and see the president yes. did i think all the attention would go out? no. you want the back story. i get asked if i could come by and see the president. i like president trump, we have good relationships. we yell at each other at times we have bad relationships at times. but my relationship with him, i don't criticize h

prime minister spent today in florida meeting with former president trump at his mar-a- lago resort. meet that comes just a week after prime minister became the first western leader to travel to moscow and visit with putin in more than two years. that meeting was so out of balance compared to where are the rest of europe stands on the issue that leaders of the eu and nato itself released statements making clear that orban in notice weigh represented their organizations with his visit. they distanced themselves from orban and trump embraces him. this is maybe not all that surprising. victor orban, putin, trump, have a lot in common. in a decision to what amounts to a strong man fan boy club they are all members of. they are all intent on what defined the world order for the past 75 years. and, tonight, donald trump and victor orban had a powwow, planning for what they would do if trump regains power again after november. so yes, put sin waiting for november. so is zelenskyy, so is biden, so is the world. >> i will not bow down to putin. i will not walk away from ukraine. i will keep n

let's get the latest from west palm beach with cnn's kristen holmes, who joins us live near mar-a-lago. kristen, you were in the room briefly in-person where these two were meeting. what did they share with reporters? >> yeah, we were able to ask them a couple of questions and i will say we have gotten the former readout of their meeting in which essentially it's exactly what you would expect from the trump campaign. they say that netanyahu came, that you think donald trump for everything? and that he did while he was in office. and then from the trump side, it said that he said that he stood in solidarity with israel after those october 7 attacks. now, when we were actually in the room, we got to ask a couple of questions. one about their relationship in general, what it would be like if donald trump were to win a second? i'm term donald trump essentially ignoring the fact that their relationship has soured, saying that nothing was ever wrong. but of course they would have a great relationship moving forward because it's always been good gas, as we know, that has not totally been the

his new residence is mar-a-lago in florida as you know. but they have beefed up out of an abundance of caution. no specific intelligence something would happen at trump tower but i think based on the events today you can see any of the trump properties where he has stayed, where he might stay to face an increased law enforcement presence until everybody figures out exactly what's going on here. we have seen no indication that there are any other individuals involved. on the other hand, nobody so far has told us that there are no other individuals involved and that is obviously part of an active investigation. they do have images of this person. they have their body and so presumably, they have an identification as well. and so, we'll continue to track the specifics about this person. what may have led up to it and all the questions that we normally ask in some type of weapon used in this. and law enforcement i can tell you up and down the east coast tonight acutely aware of what happened today and following it very closely. and as you and

and so look, he's got a boost from there's the mar-a-lago case. he's going to get a boost from the fact that the supreme court, he named three supreme court justices conservative supreme court. they've ruled that he has essentially immunity and that essentially pushes aside the federal case. and then all the shenanigans evolving the fulton county prosecutor in atlanta, that is essential actually pushed that case until after the election. this is going in people's thought, guys got all of these criminal charges. this is going to derail any general election candidate. now he's gonna go essentially the clean slate. yes, he was convicted in the new york case, but the political impact of that is not been seen as significant as these other cases, the supreme court case, and at least the trump lawyers believe this. they believe that it does affect in new york case and it's going to force the new york case to remove a bunch of evidence that they tried that they used in that case. so as you said everything is being delayed, like donald trump is here in mil

in the meantime following interesting developed with benjamin netanyahu, he's in mar-a-lago meeting with donald trump. this is from during the trump administration but the fact of the matter is whatever relationship benjamin netanyahu had with either white house seems even chillier on the prospect of -- well -- different things. ♪ clem's not a morning person. or a...people person. but he is an "i can solve this in 4 different ways" person. you need clem. clem needs benefits. work with principal so we can help you with a plan that's right for him. let our expertise round out yours. centrum! it's scientifically formulated to help you take charge of your health. centrum gives every body a healthy foundation. supporting your - oops - energy, immunity and metabolism. and yours too! you did it! plus try centrum silver, now clinically proven to support memory in older adults.

freedom, dignity and self-determination. >> reporter: later this morning, netanyahu travels to mar-a-lago to meet with donald trump. he's expected to arrive at 11:00 go the morning amid high security. because law enforcement in south florida said they want to avoid scenes we've seen on wednesday involving protesters taking to the streets to protest against netanyahu ahead of his address to congress. >> claudio, thank you. >>> new this morning, the democratic governor of california, gavin newsom, has ordered state agencies to remove homeless encampments from public property. it follows the supreme court decision allowing tent bans. homeless advocates condemned the order saying it does nothing to address the housing crisis. newsom says the encampments pose a health and safety hazard. >>> one arson suspect is currently under arrest for allegedly sparking the golden state's park fire. morgan chesky has more. >> reporter: a west coast furnace turned inferno. california's park fire exploding, forcing residents to evacuate in chico, north of sacramento. >> the heat is insane. spot fires everywhe

. >> and of course, that is one of the entrance is at mar-a-lago.ormer president welcomes the israeli prime minister into his home. you saw a warm embrace there. and then a group picture with the prime minister and his wife. although this following yesterday when the israeli leader met with vice president kamala harris separate from meeting with her boss, joe biden. kamala harris reportedly urged netanyahu to bring home the hostages. she wrapped up how important it was for gaza and palestinians to happen. that was her focus. the left is being accused of gaslighting in an effort to boost their newly-crowned presidential candidate kamala harris. while those two men meet, you have the left persisting with its own set of challenges within their party. let's get to that. in 2021, president biden put kamala harris in charge of the border crisis. people said it. >> i have asked the vp today -- the most qualified person to do it to lead our efforts with mexico and the northern triangle. >> this will be the first visit of the u.s.-mexico border region since

on top of everything else, why doesn't mar-a-lago have nicer shower curtains?aughter ] that looks like how my college roommate and i divided our dorm room. i could hear him whenever he was hooking up with someone and he could hear me whenever i was playing n64 by myself. [ laughter ] he was getting smashed and i was playing it, baby. [ light laughter ] seriously, if you're going to keep classified documents in your bathroom, you should at least make the bathroom look nicer. put some shelves and a basket or some hand-carved soaps. instead of keeping the documents in boxes, why not store them in a porcelain claw-foot tubs. [ light laughter ] you know the kind. they only have in cialis commercials. you could have embroidered hand towels that say "classified." [ laughter ] i saw it on etsy under the white collar crime section. they also had some beautiful crocheted pot folders that said, "i love insider trading." [ laughter ] and that was today's quick run of dumb jokes because what else are we going to talk about? [ chimes ] [ laughter ] now, trump was given multi

let's go straight to cnn's kristen holmes, right near mar-a-lago, following all the new developments on the republican side, kristen trump says he he's planning another rally in butler yeah that's right pamela but we have no idea what exactly this would look like. in fact, he says stay tuned for details on when i've asked several of his senior advisors if this is on the books, they said that everything is still in the works, but he did just put this on true social saying he's going to be going back to butler, pennsylvania for a big and beautiful rally honoring the soul of our beloved firefighting hero corey obviously at talking about corey comperatore, who was killed during that assassination attempt on donald trump. but again, pamela, we still don't have the details tell us what this is going to look like. we know that he's expected to be in harrisburg, pennsylvania next week on wednesday, but i do want to talk about what you also mentioned in your introduction here. there, which was how donald trump spent his day today. because in addition to sending out this truth social, he had a

time in the white house, that is, that they were lawfully his and that by taking them with him to mar-a-lago, that somehow stems and is rooted in official conduct, there were other charges here including obstruction of justice based on conversations, for example, that trump had with his then lawyer evan corcoran. vaughn was referring to them a few minutes ago. that never could have been rooted in official acts or official conduct. that evidence would have come in -- more importantly, any indictment predicated on that conduct would have been fair game because donald trump was then, while a former president, a private citizen at the time of that conduct. judge cannon had to have had a realization that as robust as the court's decision was on presidential immunity, it would not have salvaged the case for donald trump fully and out right. it would not have eliminated all the charges. this, on the other hand, was a clean sweep. it allowed her to dismiss all the charges. the timing in that it comes after justice thomas's concurrence is also instructive. yet another victory for team trump legally.

the town of palm beach where mar-a-lago is? a place is based is warning drivers there of road closures through the election. cnn aos, holmes, lybrand is joining me now. so holmes, you've been reporting on this since the assassination attempt last week and uncovering a lot of new things you've got new reporting on how the secret service is, rethinking the security around the former president and current friend, republican nominee going forward. >> that's right. so the entire apparatus have trump's security is being rethought from has we talked about his mar-a-lago residents and how road closures are going to be there for the 24 hours a day, seven days a week, up until the election. that is a big change for the secret service. we're also seeing on the ground in michigan today far more secret service than was expected. and they've also called local law enforcement and recent days to increase their presence there as well part of the reason for this is certainly the assassination attempt last week, but it's also because if new feder

nuclear weapons, in boxes piled up around the mar-a-lago estate.harges carried up to 20 years in prison. the judge, who was nominated to the bench by donald trump, wild -- said the prosecutor was illegally appointed and lacked authority to bring the case. federal prosecutors are likely to appeal the ruling. let's bring in richard paynter, professor of law at the university of minnesota who served as white house counsel and chief ethics lawyer to former president george w. bush. good to have you back. can you explain aileen cannon to a vs thinking, the legal justification for this decision? >> first of all, this has nothing to do with the merits of the case, the classified documents and what donald trump allegedly did, removing those documents intentionally to mar-a-lago and refusing to give them back and showing them to people unauthorized to see them. this has to do with whether jack smith the special prosecutor has authority to bring this case or whether the case should have been brought by the attorney general himself or a who was confirmed by t

weigh in on the ruling. >> judge cannon dismissed the documents case, as you may have heard, in mar-a-lago. can i first get your reaction to that? >> i'm not surprised. >> now our thanks to laura for that report. >>> the withohite house is plan to tackling rising housing costs. president biden will call on congress to pass a law that would require landlords to cap increases at 5% or they would lose out on federal tax breaks. the law would apply to landlords that own more than 50 units. the administration also wants to sell extra federal land to be used for affordable housing. >>> ukrainian president zelenskyy is planning a peace summit in november. it would be the followup to his summit held in switzerland last month. zelenskyy said monday he is preparing all the necessary elements for a peace plan and urged russia to attend. but a kremlin official said no russian representatives would be present. for the latest, let's go to danielle hahomogenizen. do we know any details of the peace plan? >> it comes on the heels of that nato summit last week. the first summit you mentioned tackled three

he's headed to mar a lago either thursday or friday, in an effort to patch up what had been a very frayed, this visit. this is not about negotiations. it's not about making concessions. it's myjudgment, though, that once the knesset goes out of recess july 28th, mr netanyahu will be free, should he choose to do so, to cut a deal — because while the knesset is in recess and won't reconvene until two weeks before our election, at the end of october, it's very hard to introduce a constructive no confidence vote or bring down the government. and i think his intention, and he certainly has the option, and he's being pushed and pressed by all sides to conclude a deal with hamas that would at least get a six—week ceasefire and get the two parties through phase one. as you pointed out, the meetings that he is going to be having withjoe biden and, of course, also donald trump in mar a lago. there is uncertainty about who will be in the oval office, but given its most likely to be a trump versus harris campaign from this point onwards, and given both their stance and statements that we've heard on
