the problem was not with reinhardt. it was with the attorney general who did not follow his own guidelines. there should never have been a search warrant requested to here. there was a subpoena issued and what i read, and i read it all, of the unredacted material makes a strong case against a search warrant. there was no urgency. if they wanted a search warrant, if it was so urgent, they could have gotten it five months ago. and even when they got the search warrant, they waited two days. there was no justification 4a search warrant. if you want to talk about who is to blame it is not reinhardt. it's the attorney general of the united states. he should never have sought a search warrant. the other important thing is there is enough evidence here to indict trump. but trump will not be indicted in my view because the evidence doesn't pass what i call the nixon/clicks and standards. the case has to be so overwhelmingly strong and need republicans work. the clinton standard is why is this case more serious than clinton's ca

reinhardt also previously donated to democratic and political campaigns. in 2008, he gave 1000 to former president barack obama's campaign and a further 1002 obama victory fund. in 2016, reinhardt donated 500 to the presidential campaign of jeb bush who unsuccessfully sought the republican nomination that was eventually one by former president trump. the fbi reportedly removed around one dozen boxes from mar-a-lago monday and the rate has been met with fear from the former president -- a theory from the former president's allies. it says in the newsweek piece that this judge, this is from home beach county state attorney dave ehrenberg, a democrat, who worked for the republican florida attorney general, he told politico tuesday that reinhardt is known for being meticulous, he will not make the stamp judgments. robert, democratic caller, and massachusetts, good morning. caller: i am from western and i know you cannot pronounce my name.

keep in mind judge reinhardt is an obama donor who recused himself from a prior

we have talked about the threats against judge reinhardt himself. as a former judge yourself, do you think that those threats are affecting judge reinhardt in the way he's doing his job or as a judge, do you conpartmentalize yourself from the culture outside the courtroom? >> i think it would be wrong of me to speculate as to why judge reinhardt is ruling the way he is ruling now. i think that because this is so unprecedented on both sides, it's likely he's just thinking that he's just thinking it's, it's fair to both sides to say there is an interest on one side and on the other and maybe there's a place we can get to where i can give a little bit of satisfaction to both sides. personally, i don't think that's the case. i think we're going down a very, very dangerous road. and i don't think while i don't think the judge is influenced by threats on his life because that is the job of a judge and he appears to be a very good one, to conpartmentalize things, the risk here is that in the future, agents are going to be a little bit concerned about putti

my main question is judge reinhardt here and judge reinhardt who recused himself in one case involving trump has spoken out against trump and social media and donated to barack obama. he is free to do all these things, but it does not make sense that he would recuse himself once, but not twice. why would he kick it back to the doj further reductions when we know they are going to redact anything of value. >> well, you know, i was not that troubled by the political contributions, because that does happen with judges and magistrates. but i was concerned about the statements he made on social media and the earlier recusal. this is an incredibly important and divisive matter. i'm a little surprised that he felt that he should be the one to sign off on the warrants and review the affidavit. after sending it back to the doj, i think that that was an appropriate order. you know, many of us expected that he would just defer to the department of justice and a lot of judges do that even though the department of justice has a long record of using these arguments to prevent disclosures even to cri

the doj will first proposed what to redact and then judge reinhardt will determine whether to accepthose redactions or to perform his own instead. after court heard from one of the attorneys representing the wall street journal. judge reinhardt seemed to have a very good sense that it is his job as the gatekeeper in this case to perform his function of balancing the interest in the public of accessing these materials against the interest in the government in keeping. that the affidavit, which likely contains significant details about the case should be revealed in order to ensure that the justice department is not abusing its power. the deadline for the government to send those redactions over to the judge next week on thursday at noon, that's august 25th, but for now in west palm beach, florida, asked ktvu fox two news. thank you. the trump. organization's chief. financial officer, has pleaded to tax violations. adam weiss entered court today to enter his plea. that's part of the deal that would require him to testify about illicit business practices at the trump organization is cha

i think judge reinhardt used to work for the department of justice. so i think he is basically thing to the government, i'm giving you -- i'm telling you that i think a lot of this affidavit can be the close -- disclose to the public. i will divert your judgment to make recommendations to me, the judge, and i'm going to look at what you recommend to be rejected and i will double-checked you. so if you are too overly broad department of justice and i'm going to step in and tell you if you can't do it. and as you recall, the judge basically to the justice not only are you to submit the reduction. you have to explain to me why you think these rejected those reductions are necessary. there is two parts of it and judge reinhardt will make an independent judgment as a federal judge. >> carley: merrick garland made the decision to raid trump's home. do think he will pursue charges? what will that look like? >> mark: that is the complexion. they don't want this affidavit disclose but this is going to hurt their ongoing investigation. what is really on his the

release the affidavit over the objection objection of the justice depart. >> judge reinhardt seemed to have a very good sense that it is his job as the gatekeeper in this case to perform his function of balancing the interest in the public of accessing these materials against the interest in the government in keeping them secret. >> reporter: the doj says making says making the affidavit public public could serve as a roadmap to the government's ongoing invn ongoing investigation. future cooperation by witnesses and ham and harm other high profile inv. profile investigations. >> they tell us that the investn the investigation not just is at at the beginning but what they expect to do later on. why they think that the obstruction of justice statute was violated. >> >> reporter: the judge is getting the government until next week to propose reactions to the document and says he is not prepared to find the affidavit should be fully sealed. in a separate legal battle thursday, the former cfo of the trump organization pleaded guilty to 15 counts of fraud and tax evasion. allen weg allen

i think judge reinhardt is going to protect the identity of confidential informants and that's probably the right outcome here. we don't want. >> you know, none of the media intervene ers want to jeopardize the safety or security of a confidential informant. >> that was brian into reporting for us tonight. the department of justice has until next thursday at noon to send a redacted version of the affidavit to the judge for review. >> san jose bakery was robbed in the workers were held at knifepoint and was all caught on camera. this is at peters bakery off alum rock avenue in east san jose. you can see the workers come at the burglars come in and pushed a man against a while. the owner says they held employees at knifepoint started asking where the money was. the owner says eventually found a storage area that had some cassian. madoff was less than $1000. he says other small businesses in that area have also been hit by burglars recently, the owner also says the bakery is 86 years old and prior to this break in, they've only experience 2 or 3 burglaries in the last 50 years. chaos at a

at that pointjudge reinhardt will review the requested documents and make a sit to make a decision.reduction to requested reductions, judge reinhardt is the only decisionmaker here so he'll enter an order disagreeing with the government's reductions. but giving the government time to redact that order before he releases the search warrant and its affidavit because of course, if you didn't do that and it became public, the government would lose its right to appeal. so if you disagrees with the reductions he'll give the government a chance to... before he releases the affidavits for the public. figs before he releases the affidavits for the public.— for the public. as far as a timeline. _ for the public. as far as a timeline, when _ for the public. as far as a timeline, when do i for the public. as far as a timeline, when do you i for the public. as far as a i timeline, when do you think we for the public. as far as a _ timeline, when do you think we can see whatever — timeline, when do you think we can see whatever will— timeline, when do you think we can see whatever will be _ timeli

>> yeah, this was a really wise move by the magistrate judge, magistrate judge reinhardt, because ratherorganizations filing a motion, saying we want this stuff released in the public interest. you have the department of justice responding by saying, we can't release any of, it's because we have an ongoing investigation that has national security implications, and we have witnessed security issues, rather than just listening to those arguments and making a decision, magistrate judge reinhardt said okay, we are going to do this incrementally. prosecutors, i want you to provide these proposed redactions so i can see for myself what needs to remain under steel, and what i may be able to disclose or order disclosed without damaging your investigation, and without endangering your witnesses. the reason this is a wise, incremental step is because once magistrate judge reinhardt makes this decision, it will inevitably be appealed by one party or another, and when it's appeals, this will actually strengthen the quality of the magistrate judge's ruling. >> and then, speaking of releasing stuff, t

but not as righteous noted i don't think the personal safety concerns that judge reinhardt might have himself or animating what decisions he's making. if anything, i would caution towards maybe reviewing more information so that you can convert some of the disinformation that surrounding the affidavit right now as hayes talked about earlier. but one of the other safety concerns that i think just reinhardt has to be thinking about isn't just that of the fbi agents. but that of the doj attorneys involved. alex, one of the things that i noted last week in the briefs somebody or jay. there is signed by only two people. jay pratte, who's the head of counter-intelligence and export control video dj who's in this investigation, and one antonio gonzales, who is the u.s. attorney for the southern district of florida. a case like this we were talking about former president you see a whole long list of names. signing on to a motion to seal a search warrant for example. but here, you only see two and they're fairly senior people at that. that suggests to me that doj has its own concerns about the

t reinhardt did the right thing by signing the search warrant.every single judge and magistrate in the unitedus states would have found probable cause based on this affidavit. they may hav thie narrowed the search somewhat, but there is absolutely no doubt there was probable cause. that's number one . number two , the real problem is the professor.m >> hold on a second, professor . . second, i want to ask youk a question there. sure. a tionjudge recused himself leso two months later on a caser on a on donald trump. how does he turn around rul and goes and says, yeah, i can make a ruling on this? every judge would have made the same ruling. so it's no harm, nno harm,o fou the problem was notm was with rhinehart. it wasnowith with the attorney general who didn't follow hiso own guidelinesnot . er hav a search warrant requested herea . there was a subpoena issued.d ad and what i read and i read tod all of the unredacted materialhe makes a strong casd mae against a search warrant. there was no urgency if they wanted a search warrant, if it was so urg

i think that it will have to go probably above judge reinhardt, i have had him on a case before. and i think you will have to go to the district judge eventually, but i think that that is right. i have twitted around today the idea of should we file for property? they know it is in that stuff better than anybody else and -- >> laura: yes, they should have, they're about ten motions that need to be funneled in the case, did you agree with me, mike? you have to have a flurry of motion to respond to the full force of the federal government's coming down on one man. i think were lying on judicial watch and -- you can't just piggyback on their motions. they have to know that former president of the united states is taking this very seriously and that's my view, but you know, i'm just -- mike and david, thank you both. joining me now, former secretary of state mike pompeo at the hudson institute, mr. secretary, great to see you and i want to jump right in. democrats are so worried are they not about protecting democracy around the world and we all are, but when it comes to what is happ

some of the things that need to be considered are, is this judge, the judge bruce reinhardt, clearly showed himself to be biased, is he the correct person to be ruling on these issues? should there be motion to recuse that judge? it's risky to cloud such a motion. there is mention in this filing today a return of property. i think may be that trump team is waiting for the rulings on thursday after judge reinhardt looks at the redaction request and other issues to see about that and get more direction on that. i think this is just the first step. there needs to be a very aggressive response to this because it's not just about president trump. it is about the fourth amendment, it's about the executive branch of government. it's about whether the espionage act should apply at all to a former resident under these circumstances. so for all these reasons it's deeply troubling and i'm glad to see them take this for stephanie to be a lot more. >> laura: like clockwork we knew this was going to happen. "the new york times" tonight got a leak from the feds sang trump in more than three and/or

federal magistrate judge, that being bruce reinhardt, he told government lawyers and lawyers from theganizations that he will not leave the entire affidavit for the mar-a-lago search warrant under seal, won't leave it alone. judge reinhardt also ordered some documents connected to the search warrant to be unsealed later today. if we get that report we'll come right back with it to you. this would include by the wa

hope judge reinhardt allows the public to sit in judgment. after all, who will guard the guardians if we don't have ultimate authority to look over things like an unprecedented -- is the judge said, unprecedented in our histories search when things like that happens, we the people have the right decision in judgment over our judges, the justice department, over the government. >> sean: professor, thank you. gregg jarrett, thank you. straight ahead tonight, after botching every aspect of the pandemic and its response, flip-flop found she is finally stepping down in december. senator kennedy has thoughts. later, jared kushner reveals things about the trump white house you have never heard before. he will be with us straight ahead as we continue. >> sean: dr. doom and gloom flip-flop fauci announced his departure from the national allergy and infectious disease center say that he's ready to start the next phase of his career. isn't it kind of interesting that fauci is leaving days after the cdc chief announced a massive agency shake-up is coming

he goes on to say, justice -- judge reinhardt should not have allowed a break in of a home. he will remind you that the guy did not breaking through they had a search warrant. the entry was facilitated by the secret service. next >> developments we will keep an eye on. thank you. thank you for being on top of the story. we're looking at the s&p 500, once again. closing at those session lows. down about 10. 49 on s&p. in s&p, and the bond market is struggling once again. the 10 year yield, but you're seeing that move on the front entry is something we will in ion, as the trading day moses and i'm pretty good for. this is very. >> the most crucial moments of the trading day. this is bloomberg markets, the close. with caroline hyde, romaine bostick, and taylor riggs. >> it is 2:00 p.m.. 7:00 p.m. in london. we are live. this is bloomberg markets the close. >> i'm katie. >> the stocks are sending a clear message that rates will stay high. that's on top of a market expecting a caucus ecb. taylor has the latest on

but ultimately, it's up to magistrate judge bruce reinhardt to make the final call. >> mike: we'll be back to you if there is breaking news. thanks very much, sandra. >> sandra: now to mar-a-lago, phil keating is live outside the resort there. any trump supporters or protestors you are seeing today? >> phil: unlike the big crowds monday and tuesday, not as much, one boat with the trump flags flying. as for mar-a-lago, the president's residence itself, it has been extremely quiet all week except for monday when the team of fbi agents went in and searched a former president's home. now the president was not there, he has been up north where temperatures are not quite as hot in new york and new jersey. and the big question all week have been what exactly was the probable cause for the court and the fbi to enter mar-a-lago. if the washington post sources are correct, the documents sought had huge national security implications. post citing people familiar with the investigation report that the papers dealt with nuclear weapons, adding the fear of the documents falling into the wrong hands

how unprecedented would it be if judge reinhardt would agree to its release? >> it is hard to emphasize how completely unprecedented that would be for this reason. this would be an undercutting of the probable cause affidavit while a criminal litigation is going on. that is virtually unprecedented. the department of justice could not find a case where that had actually happened before. the affidavit is unsealed after criminal charges are brought, sometimes, or after the case is over. the concern here is that the unsealing of that affidavit, which lays out everything the government knows about this matter, could actually interfere with this ongoing investigation. and, as they point out, it could also interfere with future investigations of any type, because misses and agence would be concerned that anything that goes into that search warrant affidavit might be unsealed by a federal judge against their wishes, prematurely, which could interfere with the unification. and could have a chilling effect on future criminal litigation >>> so, that is the concern, here.

judge reinhardt seemed to have a very good sense that it is his job as the gatekeeper in this case to perform his function of balancing the interest in the public of accessing these materials. against the interest in the government and keeping them secret. the justice department said it could harm their investigation now in its early stages. we don't want cooperating witnesses and informants to be less inclined to assist the government in future investigations. ultimately judge rinehart said in his order quote the government has not met its burden of showing that the entire affidavit should remain sealed. he wants the justice department to submit their redactions and their justification will make the final decision on what if anything, to release a spokesperson for former president trump saying no redactions should be necessary and the whole affidavit should be released. that's why you see trump and his lawyers wanting so much to see this because they don't believe there was sufficient justification. justice department lawyers will have the chance to appeal the judge's decision once h

i think judge reinhardt is going to protect the identity of confidential informants.o propose which parts of the document should be hidden from view and explain why the public should not see them. but he will ultimately make the decision on what information, if any, remain sealed. it won't be months, but it won't be a week or 2 either. in washington. i'm jessi tenure. meantime, the former chief financial officer for the trump organization has pleaded guilty to tax violations. allen weisselberg appeared in a federal courtroom in new york today to answer charges of accepting more than 1.7 million dollars in untaxed pay from the trump organization. >> in exchange for that plea, he will have to testify at the trump organization's trial this fall on illegal business practices. he faced 15 years in prison but is now expected to spend 5 months behind bars and pay fines and restitution totaling 2 million dollars. a key witness giving a bombshell testimony today in the federal case against r kelly. the 37 year-old woman using the pseudonym. >> jane told the court that the r an

whatever judge reinhardt decides it could keep the documents sealed a little longer in washington. lauren blanchard, fox news a new poll shows california voters don't want to see president biden seek a second term in the white house. those new numbers will be part of the discussion coming up this weekend on our political show. the issue is that airs right here on ktvu host alex michaelson. joining us now live from los angeles with a preview of this discussion, alex not much support for the president here in california. yeah of course. alex. if you think about it, joe biden won this state by 30 points. but according to a new poll from berkeley and i, g s, uh, 61% of california's don't want him to run. only 31% of him. want him to run of among democrats? it's 46 46, so he doesn't run who to california democrats want to support tied at first with 13% gavin newsom, the governor and bernie sanders behind them. the current vice president of united states, kamala harris, at 10% on our show this week, we talked to peter hamby of snapchat news and puck news, and he responds to that new poll

as judge reinhardt called, it meaningful gibberish? that's arguably an oxymoron, but meaning less generous, which could be redundant. >> that's what the doj said would be, they anticipated this argument. the magistrate judge is a longtime doj person before he took the bench. he understands that when he seems to be sagging is icy chunks of this, that you could maybe reveal. and doj will try to play ball. but it's endeavor to pull that a document, if it's released, and doj could still appeal, we'll have black, black, black four pages and pages and little words, and will lead into the reason, i think, why trump folks are calling for full release, because they know that could never happen and they will be set up to be aggrieved and point the finger. i will say very quickly, anybody who has ever been in its secure foundation could never mistake, you, know your phone, if you have it's around, the enemy could possibly read. if you go into one of these foundations, it's like going into a maximum security jail in order to read these things. i d

there is also this story, a federal judge in florida, judge bruce reinhardt who signed the search warrantople are digging up facebook posts, social media posts in 2017 indicating bias against former president trump. there is that. we have trump pleading the fifth in the new york attorney general investigation whether trump organization and former president improperly inflated the value of assets. there is a lot going on here, guy. where is all of this heading? >> so you know any competent lawyer, liz, would have told him to plead the fifth given the witch-hunt going on in new york but, just like fancy, what follows me the fbi is not following their own rules. there is only one more intrusive method of investigation, that's a wiretap. otherwise search warrant itself, they had so many other different options, getting a judge involved, a subpoena, a civil matter, document requestions, frankly if i was in front of legal team, bryce reinhardt, i know who is magistrate judge i would ask it all be unsealed tomorrow. let everybody see it. if there is confidential informant, let them see it. if th

mo some other things that needsi need to be considered are is this judge judge bruce reinhardt,hi clearly shown himself to be biased.pe is he the correct person to be ruling on these issues? thshould there be a motion to recuse that judge? it's always risky to file such motion. there is mention in this filing today of return of property. i don't think it is really fleshed out. ay so hopefully i think maybe the trump team is waiting formp the rulings on thursday after judge reinhardt looks at a redaction request and some other issues to see to see s about that get more directioni on that. but i think this is just the first step there. needs to be a very aggressive response to this because this is not just about president trump. there's about the fourth amendment. this is about the executive branchament, ira of government. this is about whether e the espionage act even should apply at all. d ato a former president under these circumstances. so for all of these reasons, t is deeply troubling. and i'm glad to see them takinga this first step. there need to be a lot more harmony like like cloc

federal magistrate bruce reinhardt has asked the justice department to propose redactions, signaling he he could and seal parts of the document. >> i think we could look forward forward to discovering a few more tantalizing details in context. for the most part, we will not see the core of what we we are all very interested in. >> reporter: scott fredrickson, former federal prosecutor said it was rare for a federal affidavit to be unsealed, especially since the doj said the investigation is in its early stages. >> the doj says it is a lot more more that will come. it is a strong message from the department of justice they will go forward full speed and expect expect to gather a lot more evidence. >> reporter: attorneys representing media organizations, including cbs news, petitioned the court to unseal the document in public interest. the doj argued it's details of the probe in the affidavit of the president's handling of highly classified material and would serve as a road map of the ongoing investigation. >> it explains the scope and breadth of that investigation and it has a numbe

it's up to bruce reinhardt. what can he do?he could say okay, i will unseal it but let the department of justice, or read to act what they want made public. and or he could say go ahead and open it up and block it all to gather. with the red action based on what the fbi says we have 95% redacted document so just to date on it. it will not be decipherable. that for the judge to decide. what we don't know is if he will make the ruling from the bench, take this under advisement, or today or tomorrow, could take an hour or 2. and if we do get to read all the details as to why the fbi decided they need to take such a radical move, could be bad news for donald trump, or if it's not that strong it is good news for donald trump. donald trump says go ahead, open it up, don't redact it, let everyone read what they have done to me. interesting stuff. the legal experts will tell you it is unheard of for an affidavit to be released like this during ongoing criminal investigation where there has been no indictment. i suspect if the judge agr

. >> judge reinhardt is the magistrate judge that recused himself from the hillary case a month ago.l i would love to see and understand why you would ask for a raid of the cooperating president, do i believe the judge will reveal it? no, i do not. >> the law professor alan dershowitz said the doj could exonerate itself by instilling the affidavit. watch. >> why was it necessary? why eight months later? why after giving subpoenas? why wait three days over the weekend after you have gotten a search warrant? these are the questions that the affidavit may very well answer. look, i believe presumption of innocence including garland. i want to presume he did the right thing, but the affidavit is the central clue point. >> meanwhile, trump said they returned to his passports seizedduring the raid. donald report of the fbi never took them. he writes the doj and fbi just returned my passports. when they raided my home in morrow local eight days ago and opened their arms and grabbed everything in sight much a common criminal would do and anr post, trump said he had security footage of the rai

so sensitive and so dangerous to remain in his hands, why did the fed wait three days after judge reinhardtarrant? but the leaks did not stop there. maggie haberman's team at "the new york times" has been a variable dumping ground for information releasing a dozen separate articles since the raid. then last night at "the washington post" they were back with a remarkably detailed month-long negotiation over all of these items including the exact number of pages that were sought. joining us now former trump lawyer and chairman of the lawyers association coming up both been terrific this week, back by popular demand. now you have seen this up close and personal, where is merrick garland's integrity for a man that said he was just going to be a department totally involved aboveboard and beyond bias and all all of the rest you just heard. >> yeah, i am shocked quite frankly. this is a man whose united states court of appeals for a long time on the sixth circuit. well-respected quite frankly. i know that he had it subtracted when he was nominated from supreme court but a well respected judge that

the palm beach guards police department saying they're aware of the threats against judge reinhardt.y are working with their federal law enforcement partners, is probably why you see a high amount of law enforcement presence here on the ground outside the federal courthouse. >> without a doubt, cal. you talked about the reports coming from within the courthouse, including one we just got that the trump attorney is in the courtroom. they will not be making arguments, it's important to point out. unseal, don't unseal, or maybe redact. what kinds of things is the judge going to look at? what ultimately are you looking to see here? >> i'm going to go out on a limb and say there's zero chance the judge will rule that the full affidavit gets unsealed. there's national security interests, criminal interests, concerns about witnesses. it's just unheard of. there's no precedent for that. the only thing that i think the news organizations could hope for is taking up the footnote where, as you noted, chris, the government said they thought about a redacted version, but they thought it would not

today judge bruce reinhardt ordered the doj to unseal a redacted version of that affidavit used to justify the mar-a-lago raid. officials have until noon tomorrow to make the affidavit public. with the latest, fox news contributor jonathan turley and ticket for being here thank you for being here. we could get the rejected affidavit at any moment and we were preparing on the show, will we be waiting until noon and what do you think we will see? >> weed could be waiting until noon and i must admit i'm skeptical that it's the same department not a single word of the redacted of the affidavit should be released. on the first attempt they were able to miraculously hit the goldilocks point of getting it just right because it appears that the judge did not push back on any sections. for those of us who have litigated against this department over and over reductions and classifications, there is a certain degree of skepticism that left to its own devices, they maximize what could be released. i'm grateful that something will be released. i'm hoping truly that attorney general garland saw the earl

his name, judge bruce reinhardt.bama donor who also, get this, defended associates of convicted jeffrey epstein, who definitely did not kill himself. the ceo of "the federalist" joins us. great to see you tonight. what a coincidence. >> it is quite a coincidence, isn't it, that this deranged anti-trump judge who quit his job as a federal prosecutor in the office literally investigating jeffrey epstein, magically the next day started representing a bunch of jeffrey epstein's closest colleagues, including, he set up his office and the exact same office suite in south florida as jeffrey epstein's criminal defender himself. so you've just got to marvel at the coincidence they are. >> will: what in your estimation, and we've talked about this with others but you reported on this deeply, you've reported on what we have talked about tonight, the permanent class in washington. what in your estimation is the true motivation about what we watched happen last night? >> i think it's a declaration of war against the american publ

is the fact that a judge looked at this and decided, based on what he saw in the affidavit, judge reinhardtidavit based on the evidence that was presented, based on the witnesses, he said is reliable. again, this doesn't mean that there is someone going to be charged here or that someone is guilty of anything, but what he is saying is, you know, this deserves further investigation and it at least met that bar for this judge. >> then we wait for the thursday deadline to see what happens next. thank you both. i appreciate it. >> sure. >>> coming up for us, stunned by the progress. that is what the father of easton oliverson is saying today. the little leaguer is making a recovery doctors say is nothing short of a miracle, eveven aftea second fall.l. that is next. ♪ when we started carvana, they told us selling cars 100% online wouldn't work. but we went to work. building an experience that lets you shop over 17,000 cars from home. creating a coast-to-coast network to deliver your car as soon as tomorrow. recruiting an army of customer advocates to make your experience incredible. and putting

property judge bruce reinhardt ordered the justice -- departments to submit a redacted version of theent that will not undermine its ongoing investigation. then he will decide one week whether to make that version of the document public. we will have more on that. while we are long way from potential criminal charges from the ex president, let alone conviction, we already have trump's former lawyer publicly speculating about him running for a second term while indicted. >> merrick garland is now crazy. he is going to indict donald trump, they are going to figure out some charge because they want to harm him, to ruin him, too basically cut him off at the knee so he can't run for president. eugene debs ran for president from a federal prison. there is no reason that that is going to happen to donald trump. he is not going to be in a federal prison. but if he is indicted, he will run for president. >> again, no indication trump's going to be indicted anytime soon, but trumps close confidant, allen weisselberg, the former chief financial officer for the trump organization, that's a guy wh

"new york post" columnist miranda devine report's agent even searched through trump's wardrobe. despite aw

magistrate judge bruce reinhardt who you may have remembered not only approve the warrant, he also hadther dealing with donald trump. he said the doj had met its burden of showing that its proposed reactions are narrowly tailored to serve the gove government's legitimate interest in the ongoing investigation which is to say should probably expect to learn a lot less maybe than you might have hoped. other than that, the government will have lots of allegations without proof in that affidavit. it's also important to point this out. critics have certainly said this. they allegations from an agency that has been accused of being, let's just say, liberal with its treatment of the former president is not exactly dispositive, but it's also a lot of people would argue not necessarily an encouraging thing. by the way, it has also been okayed by a judge who's been vocal in his criticism of the former president online. so much so he actually had to recuse himself from another case involving the 45th president. he wrote this in his order. i reviewed the president's memorandum of law and the search
