so, so far we just had the special council jack smith speaking just a moment ago. what more did he have to say until cussed through these new charges? it's all here. let me 1st say one thing we should actually look, this sound vide played again, because it is absolutely stunning historical and absolutely unprecedented. what just happened here? those 4 counts donald trump indicted for the 3rd time criminal indictment also important to know. this is a federal grand jury indictment. this is not some prosecutor having the idea to go after donald trump and charging with something out of the blue. these are people like you and me. citizens of the united states who hear evidence of prosecutor brings and then decide yes, donald trump allegedly did something wrong and we can have this investigation result. and now we're in the dining. and so this is important. this is the p pulse indictment, not just especially counsel jack smith doing what all those counsellors for accounts. the president, ex former president, is now charged with or indicted with a number one conspiracy to

the special council jack smith, who filed the indictment, has blamed to trump for the violence the attack on our nation's capital. on january 6th, 2021 was an unprecedented assault. the seat of american democracy is described in the indictment. it was fueled by lies, lies by the defended, targeted at obstructing a bedrock function of the us government and nations process of collecting, counting and certifying the results of the presidential election. prosecutor say, trump pushed fraud planes. he knew to be on true. we had an election that was stolen from us and pressured state and federal officials to alter the results of the 2020 election. well, i want to do is i just want to find the $11780.00 loads, which is one more that we have. they also alleged that he also inside at the january 6th riots on the us capital in a desperate attempt to clean power the we're going to walk down anyone you want, but i think right here we're going to walk down to the capital and we're going to do on our bruise, senators and congressmen and women, trump is due to appear before federal court on thursday. des

katie, the trump legal team responses to special council jack smith request for productive order from l judge and the judge put the deadline at 5:00 and the trump team is asking what the special council is limiting and restricting the social media post is "overbroad -- it's basically an overreach. it's an irony basically, katie, because this is a case about first amendment rights and they're proposing a red line, which would basically shield past orders. what do you think of this? >> the judge has a lot to balance and there's an interest in having as much of the trial public. that's a very reasonable request and anticipate the judge agrees with them. >> i'd agree. we're talking basic first amendment rights in the ability of the president to defend himself publicly against what i consider to be bogus criminal charges. it would be outrageous for the judge to put a gag order on president trump and the grand jury information that needs protprotected and that's one th. any kind of general order preventing him from speaking about the case would be very unconstitutional. al liz: and the firs

in charging trump to overturn the 2020 election, he rejected jack smith's council which was 13 days before iowa caucus. instead, they proposed an extraordinary delay until april 2026 a year and a half after the 2020 election, clearly a negotiating tactic. joining me to make sense of this, gwen keyes fleming, former manhattan district attorney, cyrus vance, and an npc news legal analyst and former fbi senior official, chuck rosenberg. gwen, you're the newest to my table here and you're the most familiar with georgia's racketeering law. explain why she felt that was the best way to try this case. >> sure. so the georgia rico statute is one of the best tools that a prosecutor can use when he or she is trying to tell a complex tore that involves multiple defendants who did various acts towards a common goal and that's exactly what you see here in terms of the conspiracy to overturn the results of the georgia election. you have 19 defendants, all of whom had a part or are alleged to have a part in effectuating the fraud. >> on one hand i've read if it gets to trial, it's almost an easier guilty

and that this indictment that the special council a jack smith brought forward. now is an a tech on the free speech on the 1st amendment on political advocacy and interference in a presidential election campaign. now that is interesting. others say, of course, on the other side, that's not true because it is about the actions which are indicted and not what the president said. anybody can say anything in the united states that is indeed free speech and covered by constitutional amendment. so that's where we are right now. all right, stephan, thanks so much. let's dw stuff in simon's reporting from washington dc on donald trump. indictment. we're going to bring you up today's, on some of the other stories making news around the world now. on pope francis has judged europe to act as a peace maker and bring an end to the war and ukraine. he was speaking of the status of a 5 day visit visit to portugal. the pontiff is bad to celebrate the 1st well used a sense of the pandemic. poland as sending more troops to its border with bella russell to saying that to bell russi

the federal court building here in washington, dc goes to form president phased the special council jack smith, the department of justice, special ed counsel deck smith, who brought those charges forward. and i bet that made for some awkward moments. however, the platform president was advised by the judge, what he can do, what he can do, you can tamper with written is you can reach out to this person or that person, this kind of stuff. and of course, the judge also asked, do you understand the charges? how do you plead the former president pleaded not guilty to fall for charges, felony charges all. and that was pretty much it and back home to is a golf club in back minster, new jersey. right, so he's done some with denying any wrong doing, and yet he still is competing to leads the republican party. what will this mean for how you associates might see this a well, that's a very, very good question. and guess what? nobody knows really, but i can tell you that that tens of millions of dollars. busy campaign donation money are now diverted to the defense fund of donald trump. he did this before.

it's based on white house visitor logs, hans that jay bratt, he's a top council to jack smith, met three time withs white house general council office officials inside the white house, including a march 2023. hans, this looks like it was right at the height of these special council probes. what do you think? >> look, i can't think of a single legitimate reason why one of the line lawyers and special council office would be meeting with anyone in the white house. there's special council of the defendants and the white house and the attorney general. there's no legitimate reason for that, and i so far haven't seen any kind of explanation about why they would be doing that when there's an active, active law enforcement investigation going on of a potential opponent to joe biden and the next presidential election. liz: yeah, what do you think, sal, what hans just said and john levine is reporting that guy jay bratt on special calm's jack smith's team and he's the same one that visited mar-a-lago in june of last year looking at storage facilities of marla go and was an advocate for unannounce

jack smith special council himself he was in the courthouse with donald trump and his lawyers sitting opposite of him when he was arraigned in florida in the separate case related to the documents. it's quite possible that we see jack smith and donald trump in the same room again today. donald trump is very likely to be sitting at a defense table. he may not address the court at all himself, but his lawyers will and he'll be in that court, we won't have any photos or video of anything that happens inside the courthouse that's how federal court works. however, there are sketch artists that can observe it as well as members of the public and the members of press. expected to be very short but an important hearing because it kicks us off into the road toward a trial after donald trump is arrested facing those charges. lot to look forward to here today. >> thanks very much for the reporting if washington. >>> let's go to bedminster where donald trump is waking up ahead of his third arraignment. what are you hearing from behind the scenes about what they're doing to prepare for this moment

no real evidence of, of, of political motivations in that one that was brought by jack smith with special council as well. but to the i, to republican voters, it had the, the feel of piling off. and here we have another indictment from jack smith and i have no doubt, many republicans are going to see this as more evidence of piling on. it is coming from the joe biden justice department, even though jack smith is a career prosecutor appointed. and special council without political interference. but the optics of the piling on, i think, are going to be a big factor in the g o p primer race. and i think that's a big reason that people like randa santas and others who help to this place. donald trump are treating this very warily because they know that to um, endorse these prosecutions will look like they are endorsing what republican voters see as piling on for pin. okay, that's my michael. let me push it out for a 2nd because then donald trump presented no not guilty plea on the charges of trying to over to and the 2020 us election. no surprises that. but of course, they say significant not exactly

let's bring in former deputy assistant attorney general tom dupree and this is jack smith's special council today and we'll get your reaction on the other side. >> since the attack on our capitol the department of justice has remained committed to ensuring accountability for those criminally responsible for what happened that day. >> trace: problem is, tom dupree, that he's being charged with nothing to do with the capitol riot, right? they're talking about the riot, there's nothing in the indictment about that. what do you think about this? >> yeah, trace, that was one of the more surprising aspects of the indictment today. as you point out by the time you even see the first mention of the capitol riot you're well into the indictment on something like page 40 out of 45. it's interesting that the special counsel is really putting his focus almost exclusively on what happened in the days leading up to january 6th. and i think at the end of the day, so much of this is going to turn on whether the special counsel can actually prove beyond a reasonable doubt to the jury that donald trump knew h

now we've had colin smith, the council leader on the show in the past and at the time there were fivethe outer boroughs that were fighting a legal action against sadiq khan. but there was nothing those london boroughs could do to stop this from going ahead , was there? >> no, that that was right. we tried because we had to try for the for the sake of all those people that you identified that are suffering, the frail, the elderly , etcetera. so it's elderly, etcetera. so it's really important that we tried, but not going to throw but we're not going to throw good money after bad as it were. so we're now looking for other ways. and you've quite rightly, nigel, identified died that particular clause in the act and actually you missed out the first bit of that which says the secretary of state can sanders so all he has to do is consider something and that's a very low bar or you know, consider something it's low bar. it's not beyond reasonable doubt . beyond reasonable doubt. >> but he has to give a direction as well, doesn't it? yes yes. >> so if he so he consider it and then he gives a

the latest indictment against the 45th president is also $45.00 pages long, and its special council jack smith, accuser's trumpet is alex promoting false claims in pressuring state and federal officials to change the results of the election. here's what trump had to say, and response. i am now going to washington d. c, to be arrested for having challenged a corrupt rigs and stolen election. it is a great honor because i am being arrested for you. all of this comes as house republicans have pledged to continue their investigation into the president's own son hunter bided a lot of questions surrounding their on why he was initially offered such a like plea deal. and of course, why the focus has continued to be on donald trump, when they're still so much going on in the corner of the sitting. he was president . now when it comes to donald trump, himself, he has been released and the next court date is set for august 28th, which is notably less than one week after the 1st schedule republican primary debate. as it has become very clear that the various trials trump is facing, have done nothing to d

council. questioning whether smith is even his real name.ll be in the courthouse as well. >> the last arraignment took place in florida, miami. this one in washington, d.c. how significant could this venue be? >> of course, the reason it is taking place in d.c. is it is the is seen of the alleged -- it is the scene of the alleged crime. but there are some of his allies and supporters saying that d.c. is where the department of justice is based. the jury pool will be picked from florida. donald trump was the winner of that state twice. as far as allies and supporters, theyelieve no trial is fair to the president, the former president. >> briefly, we are hearing mor about the judge that will be presiding over the case. >> yes, appointed by former president barack obama, she will oversee the case and is known for being tough when it comes to handing down sentences for those involved in the january 6 riots. remember, the investigation is ongoing. 38 tough sentences. this judge already ruled against donald trump when this was a separate case from

now we've had colin smith, the council leader on the show in the past and at the time there were fivef the outer boroughs that were fighting a legal action against sadiq khan. but there was nothing those london boroughs could do to stop this from going ahead , was there? >> no, that that was right. we tried because we had to try for the for the sake of all those people that you identified that are suffering, the frail, the elderly , etcetera. so it's elderly, etcetera. so it's really important that we tried, but not going to throw but we're not going to throw good money after bad as it were. so we're now looking for other ways. and you've quite rightly, nigel, identified died that particular clause in the act and actually you missed out the first bit of that which says the secretary of state can sanders so all he has to do is consider something and that's a very low bar or you know, consider something it's low bar. it's not beyond reasonable doubt . beyond reasonable doubt. >> but he has to give a direction as well, doesn't it? yes yes. >> so if he so he consider it and then he gives

jack smith the special council pushing back hard against this date request of 2026, april 2026, to startse. what is he saying? >> reporter: yeah, jack smith said at the outset when he announced the indictment he wanted a speedy trial. trump came back with a different proposal, a trial to happen in 2026 after the next presidential election. jack smith yesterday with a new filing pushing back on the claims by trump's lawyers arguing this should be parked back to to 2026. saying it misstated fact. a narrative not based in reality. till contention there. the two sides arguing over when a potential for donald trump in that federal case could happen. >> thank you. it's going to be a busy there this week. that's for sure. >>> this morning fox says it will no longer provide credentials to former president trump's surrogates for the spin room at tomorrow's gop presidential primary debate. several of trump's advisors and top surrogates were planning to attend and represent him in the spin room since he won't be there. now they are working to sort out a resolution with the network and the rnc. alay

and that's not all special council jack smith is also seeking a january 2nd start for the federal case accusing trump of trying to stop congress from certifying the results of the 2020 election. it's an awful lot. so we have frank bowman, a professor of meredith at the university of missouri law school, and a former federal state prosecutor to help us understand all of this. we spoke to him earlier and he does expect the trial in georgia to get underway anytime soon. i the march of 20 before which, which, by the way, i think is extremely unlikely time for the georgia case to go forward with the remarkably early trial date. for a case of this complexity. remember that mr. trump discharged along with 18 co defendants. each of them is going to have to get his or her own lawyer. now there are gonna be a plentitude, a pre trial motions, discovery issues, motions to sever motions to dismiss motion to transfer venue, and so forth. and so on. a case of this complexity, if it were to go to trial. in march of 2024 would be something of a legal miracle. indeed, i think it's extraordinarily unlike
