that comment from his former attorney general really got under trump s orange tinted skin as he prepares for tomorrow s historic arraignment. the first former president to face federal charges and the possibility of prison time. also tonight, the extreme denialism of trump defenders. what they get totally wrong about the presidential records act, how declassification works, and the biden and hillary clinton false equivalencies. and we begin tonight with donald trump s reverse snow bird commute to florida. the twice impeached, twice indited liable for sexual abuse president arrived today in miami, and is spending the night at his doral resort as he awaits his unprecedented arraignment tomorrow. he faces 37 felony counts of illegally hoarding classified documents and obstructing the justice department s efforts to get them back. while this is his second indictment, this one carries the very serious prospect of significant prison time. he and his personal valet and alleged
the security preparations for tomorrow and what else you re seeing and hearing in miami. reporter: hi there, joy. yes, the former president ended up coming here to doral just several hours ago. he was greeted here by a few dozen supporters, as he went inside, and joy, over the past hour or so, he has been defiant in several radio interviews. he s been conducting with radio stations in iowa. he said several things and mentioned some of them. vowing to appoint a special counsel to investigate the bidens and also calling his former attorney general bill barr a coward. of course, barr over the last several days, yesterday in an interview, saying that the indictment against the former president was considerably strong. local authorities here in miami today, they did describe how they re preparing for this. and the intense security measures that are under way, and that there will be enough resources to potentially handle thousands of people, more than 5,000 potentially, tomorrow in
