let's speak to the man who ran his successful 2019 leadership campaign, will walden. do you think that borisjohnson will put his name forward? you think that boris johnson will put his name forward?— you think that boris johnson will put his name forward? good morning, martin. put his name forward? good morning, martin- the — put his name forward? good morning, martin. the answer _ put his name forward? good morning, martin. the answer to _ put his name forward? good morning, martin. the answer to that _ put his name forward? good morning, martin. the answer to that question i martin. the answer to that question is only if he can win. boris hates losing and i suspect he won't do it if he can't make the threshold of 100 nominees and i don't think he will do it if he can't see a path to second place was that the truth of this is rishi sunak is clearly the front runner among mps but in boris�* case, if he can get a second i suspect he will think he can win. because it goes to the membership and i think this is a membership that elected liz truss. boris johnson to an exten

will walden, thank you for your insights.than not. - the winner is? i think it is likelier than not. looking| the winner is? i think it is i likelier than not. looking at the winner is? i think it is - likelier than not. looking at the publicly declared numbers, which mps are supporting which candidate at this point, it is very hard to see how penny mordaunt can make it through the day as a conservative leadership candidate. she is way back from the 100 mps figure, the magic number you need to make it onto the ballot this afternoon. if she does make it onto that ballot, i think you would have to say it is extremely likely that rishi sunak notjust beat her but beat are fairly convincing day. at that point she would come under all sorts of pressure to lead the country have a prime minister tonight rather than go through the rigmarole of a members ballot and having an announcement on friday. it is a certain rishi sunak will be prime minister later today. shunt; certain rishi sunak will be prime minister later today. any mordaunt

earlier, i spoke to will walden, who ran borisjohnson's successful 2019 leadership campaign — i askeds contest. boris hates losing and i suspect that he won't do it if he can't make the threshold of 100 mps needed to go to a vote of tory mps. and particularly, i don't think he'll do it if he can't see a path to second place, because the truth of this is that rishi sunak is clearly the front runner among mps. but in boris' case, if he can get to second, i suspect he thinks he can win because what happens is it goes to the membership and i think this is a membership that elected liz truss. borisjohnson, to a certain extent, is still the darling of that membership and if he can get to second, he thinks he can win the thing. so that's the simple answer. i think the other more complicated answer is that because he hates losing, i think one of the things in boris' mind that he'll be considering is that there's a 31% gap between labour and the tories at the moment. he will inherit a cost of living crisis that he has to own and, you know, he and the tory hierarchy know that their private poll

will discuss more. that but i want to bring in cnn senior political analyst, john avlon, also jim walden -- jennifer rogers, former assistant u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york. so glad to have all of you here. thanks so much. john, i will start with you. this inadvertent court filing revealing some of what the doj's east from mar-a-lago. what is in there. ? what is this about? >> it is embarrassing, because it should have been posted it is revealing. to the extent that it gives you some insight into what was being hoarded by the ex president. it is hard to say how much detail there is. this is all sort of penny and the stuff. it's phone records. it's medical letter. there's no smoking gun that is evident in this list that was provided. but it does show just how granular this information ultimately is going to get and before us. >> jennifer, listen, you know this better than anyone else. there is this the show that the doj system of filling -- filtering out material, excuse -- me that it is actually working here? how does something like -- this how do documents like this get out to the pub

will not pass. also, national security attorney bradley moss is here, and former federal prosecutor jim walden joinss as well. good evening, gentlemen. jim, i'm going to start with you. your reaction to this new reporting on what we can expect next from the justice department. >> donald trump is bleeding to death from 1000 cuts. the idea that he would continue to have these documents and maryland one other place is astounding, but who can put anything past him? but this is exactly where the pests special master process, despite factor judge dearie, the special master, is a fantastic choice, it should never have been in the first place. there are 11,000 documents that are sitting there that could tell the doj exactly how many classified documents are missing, how they got, there how they might be story. they can't do anything because they're sitting in a database, and reviewed. this is why special masters in the circumstances are almost unheard of, and that is a problem for the doj. but it is more importantly a problem for our national security. >> bradley, with the doj even put out this kind of dema
