Countries with known nuclear capabilities. the united states, the united kingdom, russia, china, france, pakistan and india as well as israel and north korea. we should be clear, we do not know if it is any one of those countries. it could very well be a different country that is developing nuclear capabilities or talking about developing nuclear capabilities. so it is not limited to these nine countries youre looking at right now. also, from the post reporting, some of the seized documents deta...

Promiing more government programs for them. shes promising the opposite. cutting the taxes on the wealthiest in britain may not be the best way for her to hold on to boris johnsons big majority. >> liz truss will be speaking with the queen in scotland. well go live as she accepts the position today. developments following the fbi search of donald trumps mar-a-lago home and golf club. a request by trumps attorneys was approved for a special master to review materials seize bid last months searc...

But two weeks afterwards the filing looks like an effort to delay and of course the scope that theyre asking for, which is to include attorney/client privilege and executive privilege is really to use barrs words a crock. >> yeah. so if this is a strategy to delay the investigation, i understand it would be by several weeks. and its a motion thats been filed much later than it usually is, does it make sense to you that the judge is saying that shes inclined to appoint a special master? >> it doe...

Privilege or potentially attorney/client privilege. that stuff then will be sent to the judge for review to determine final determination and let the case proceed both as a matter of the criminal investigation and more importantly the national security damage assessment. we dont want to delay on that back end of this thing another day. >> so those empty folders, 48 folders with classified markings on them, what do you make of that? i mean, where are the contents supposed to be inside? could they...

To keep them. >> i also wanted to get your perspective on the appearance before a grand jury in d.c. of former trump white house lawyers, pat cipollone and patrick philbin. whats the significance of their appearance? >> well, i think it could be very significant. you know, all of us who watched the january 6th committee remember moments where pat cipollone was asked a question, he consulted with his lawyer and then he said it was privileged. all of those questions would be answered in front of t...

Special master. that is that third party attorney, someone, typically maub a retired judge. that is going to be the situation at hand tomorrow when trumps legal team is in court, including the new attorney they just added, the former solicitor general of florida, someone theyve been seeking to have florida experience on their case, given so much of this of course is happening in florida where his home is and where this search happened. they still want that special master master. and basically th...

Recasting the narrative that doj very clearly laid out in their previous filing about that give and take that led to the search warrant. so, i dont think those arguments are going to have much impact on the judge, but they have proven to be very effective in activating the presidents base, generating additional fundraising opportunities, and really kind of turning up the volume on the outrage factor. i would expect that president trump likes that part of the brief the best. im just not sure that...

The wide, respected admiration throughout the department, the departments law enforcement partners, the u.s. intelligence community and if hes arguing the matter for the government today, continues to signify both the importance of the case, writ large, and the importance of ensuring consistency and how department enforcement policy is applied in cases involving the mishandling of classified information, including who gets to decide what documents in a search are reviewed by whom, under what cir...

Havent seen the affidavit so let us tell you a thing or two, and the thing or two was really extremely damning. to ryans point that theyre trying to sort of smush together executive privilege. that really, i think, is the ball game here. all their case is asking for a special master involve attorney/client privilege. trump could have attorney/client privilege with is own personal lawyers. what he doesnt have is any kind of standing about these documents, the public documents and the very first l...
