their installation in court. the justice department filed a federal lawsuit on monday to try to force texas to remove the floating barriers on the rio grande and then file a motion seeking a preliminary injunction on an attempt to put the case on the fast track. the response from governor abbott, texas will see you in court. the mayor of piedra negrs said 600 to 700 migrants arrive there daily, only a third of last year, although the number of minors traveling with their families has recently increased in a nicble way. rafael romo, cnn, atlanta. and a quick programing note. cnn s new original series see it loud looks back on the rise of black unscripted television. a new episode airs tonight at 9:00 p.m. eastern on cnn. we ll be right back. so i started p preparing physically and financially.
schedule i ve ever seen out of any federal judge. so i do think it is something that she s going to take a look at and say, why did you have me go through this exercise if you knew that you were going to do something? you know, this move is very likely going to push this trial, you know, just on its own, out much closer to or past the election. let s talk about the merits of the filing. three new things, right? we have obstruction of the obstruction alleged, a new co-defendant, and a new document. let s start with the obstruction itself. sure. what do you think of the strength of the case here, the attempt to delete the security footage? so here it s interesting because they just have a conversation that apparently wasn t recorded where he s saying, the boss wants this deleted. if they don t really have much more than that, they maybe have enough to charge carlos with it. but quite frankly, if you charge donald trump every single time one of his employees says the boss wanted s
but tavares went a different way. how big a problem is this for trump? is this a possible break in the dam? well, it is somebody who, you know, it s the first person that we ve heard of that has come in to give eyewitness testimony that s directly contradictory to donald trump s story. now, that being said, he s also not able to point the finger directly at donald trump. you know, he s pointing the finger at carlos and saying carlos said this. but that s not something that can even really be used to show that donald trump said it. so it is, you know, the first instance of a so-called cooperating witness that we ve seen in this case. i want to move on to another part of the superseding indictment. that is the fact that they added another document, another charge of willful retention. this document is significant because this is the one that is allegedly mentioned in that recording. what is your reaction to the fact that this has been added now in a superseding indictment? it s sim
those things to appease trump and to appease his supporters. but in terms of the legal element, i mean, i think when president ford did it, he did it for the country to move on from watergate. in retrospect, for history s purposes, it was the right move. but this president has so many charges against him that i think it will be hard for the american people to swallow. yeah, and he also has state charges here, state charges in manhattan, which i don t know if those are keeping him up at night. but in georgia, that s a pretty serious case, and you can t make that go away with a pardon or commutation. so it s a really interesting question for the candidates. i want to talk about another presidential candidate, former congressman will hurd. he was booed in iowa, of all places, one of the most polite states on earth, for criticizing trump at his rally. let s listen to his response. when people start learning when you give money to donald trump, it s going to pay his
former president. you also represented some represent and represented other witnesses in this case. yeah. how do you balance that because there are some questions of what happens if there s a conflict? you have the boss, quote, unquote, and then you have these other people whose legal fees are being funded by a political action committee that supports the boss. the source of the funding is a good attorney, a good and ethical attorney should represent the client and the client alone regardless of who s paying the bill. your duty of loyalty is solely to the client. if you represent multiple people, that s fine as long as you get the appropriate privilege waivers i m sorry conflict waivers, but there are certain things you can t do. for example, if it gets into a situation where two of your clients become adverse to one another. you can t advise one client to provide information that s going to be damaging to another. as long as you provide that information to the clients ahea
