tim parlatore. thank you so much for engaging with me tonight. now i want to turn to cnn, senior law enforcement analyst and former fbi deputy director andrew mccabe. andrew nice to see you. i think i see you all the time now. i wonder what the connection could possibly be, but listen, let me ask you about this because butler ed that he and walt nauta, who was the so-called body man of trump and a codefendant. now loaded ten to 15 boxes, approximately onto trump's plane. >> but the question i >> have is okay, now they're in the friendly skies. what happened to the boxes? how does law enforcement track that to our colleague, tim parlatore is point well, that's a great question and we don't know the answer to that despite the fact that the special counsel's office spent months and months >> doggedly pursuing mr. trump and his attorneys and trying to get a legitimate search of those properties. i'm not sure why they didn't pursue a search warrant. maybe they could have had witness like mr. butler onboard at the time but nevertheless laura is, you kn

. >> worse, let's discuss with one of donald trump's former attorneys on this case, tim parlatore. tim, thank you so much for sharing part of your afternoon with us. essentially, the goal here for trump's team in one of these motions is to hang this on an interpretation of the presidential records act. i'm wondering whether you would have taken that approach oh, there's no question that'd be any competent lawyer would pursue that. there is precedent from the from the clinton administration that president essentially has unfettered discretion whether to designate something as a personal record are presidential records. so the question of whether that extends to classified documents or national defense information is something that hasn't yet been tested. so i think any attorney would at least make the motion but in this case, it's not just about the kind of record. it's the way that he in his view, designated them declassified just by thinking about it or just by moving them. is that really a strong argument to say that a president can declassify something just by having the thought

documents case following the raid on mar-a-lago tim parlatore joins us now. great to see you.educed. the president says he has got the cash. what about on the actual appeal itself, what you know about in new york? >> >> i mean, i think he has a pretty good appeal. there were a lot of procedural issues. i think that the way the judge handled it and, you know, partially this may be because of the way that trump pushed him. but he did show his bias. but, ultimately, what have you here is a case where no victim lost any money. the victim testified that they knew about the true value of the properties. they were paid in full. they made a profit. and so, you know, who lost and how do you go from that to a half a billion dollars judgment and so it does make sense that it would get knocked down. >> brian: going to be months until we get some type of verdict to see if the president is going to get his money back in the fall. let's talk about the case that's going to happen with jury selection beginning on april 15th. yesterday, the news was the judge imposed the gag order on president

elie honig, thanks so much with me now in studio, former trump lawyer, tim parlatore. tim, thanks for being here. big, big picture. what's your reaction to? the ruling by the us supreme court today? bar in colorado and any state from removing trump from the ballot under the 14th amendment is not a big surprise. i think anybody watching the oral arguments expected that it would go that way. not only that, it would go that way, that it would be unanimous and i think it was a good decision particularly on the issue of this is not a state's issue. you have the states don't have the power to pick federal officers. >> so what do you make? the court choosing not to address at all whether trump's actions on and around january 6 qualify as engaging in an insurrection eli's said a correctly, it wasn't an issue. there's really before them and i think that they would really want to try and avoid that and keep it as narrow as possible. and obviously that was one of the issues between the different opinions is how narrow they were. but to actually come to a factual finding, i don't t

tim. parlatore, both of you. thank you so much. so what impact may this all have on trump's chances come november? we are 225 days away from the election. i mean, i'm counting i don't know if you are. cnn senior data reporter harry enten pulled up some numbers for us. harry, what can you tell me? >> so, laura, as we look at the effect of the trump court cases, obviously the manhattan hush money cases going forward, and if there's one case that trump would perhaps be okay with going forward, given the politics of it, it is in fact, the new york hush money case, because take a look here. view charges is very serious. only 32% of the public view. the charges in the new york hush money case is very serious, significantly less than the classified docs case at 51. the georgia election case at 54, or the federal january 6th trial at 56. so new york hush money far below those other cases. but of course, let's broaden this out, and let's just talk about the effect that the indictments have had on the general election between joe biden and d

here's what all this now forward top attorney tim parlatore, i'm so glad that you're with me here today because get out your law textbooks and refresh recollection about what it all is the excessive fines portion of it. now, when you look at this, you've actually said that it is in play here and it does apply to civil cases talking by excessive fines. but do you think it really does apply in a case like this where the judge seems to have lined it up, not through punitive damages, but almost the compensatory line for line of these so-called in gut and gate gil gotten gains i think that it is something that you have to at least raise and the bond is kind of a separate issue, but the substantive >> appeal here. and i think it's something that you by using a us constitutional amendment is something that you can bring it up to the top of new york and then over to the us supreme court on this exact issue. the first question is, does it even apply to a civil case like this >> and >> generally is applied primarily to criminal cases. and so i think that that is something that's unsettled right n
