Lawyers for former President Donald Trump are asking a judge to postpone his criminal trial without setting a new date as he stands accused of illegally hoarding classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.

It could happen while out in public or what its going to look like. with the january 6th case no one knows who is going to be indicted there, what the charges could be. its not as narrow as the documents case where we had a pretty good idea they were zeroing in on trump and his role and potentially walt nauta and other witnesses in that case. january 6th is much broader. its much more complicated. there is clearly a focus on the attorneys who were around trump at that time, the sidney powells an...

Trump in august 2019. the then president sent out a detailed aerial image of an iranian launchpad that experts at the time described as quote, almost certainly highly classified. i could go on and on about other examples like this. but what is clear is that trump has a documented pattern of not respecting our nations secrets. as we now know, its a pattern he continued after leaving office. this week, trumps alleged coconspirator jack smiths documents case, his personal aide walt nauta, pleaded n...

We have. he was acting as a coconspirator helping him hide files from investigators after trump left the white house, the charges include conspiracy to obstruct justice and making false statements not a faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted of the most serious charge against him. against him. lets bring in former u.s. attorney msnbc contributor barbara mcquade, barbara, its good to see you this morning. so at least that finally got walt nauta rained on the third attempt and they saw an att...

>> but justice department, to toluses point has a number of investigations going on. now the documents case weve been discussing but theres also the january 6th case. as we speak of the justice department is pushing to add felony charges in the case of a january 6th defendant who was arrested near former president obamas home while heavily armed. joyce, what exactly happened here. why are prosecutors in this position. its my understanding the gentleman could potentially be -- >> whats going on r...

Revelation in terms of what went into the search warrant, but the government was thinking, and, of course, how trump, himself, acted and walt nauta as well, around the retention of these classified informations. it was a sort of idea, well, once the indictment was released, this was the big reveal. in fact, as most, or all trials are, it is an ongoing saga. we should have much more in terms of revelations going forward. >> eugene, you are speaking to folks at all levels here in washington, d.c.,...

Have a donor legacy preferences, which as you said, cant create up to 70% white folks to be in one, admitted into the school. and that can make up up to 30% of a class just for legacies. so, for each slot in admissions thats taken by one of these applicants who is admitted through these preferences, it takes away another slot from another deserving candidate. and data that we have analyzed and that has been analyzed in connection with the harvard case shows that if those legacy preferences were ...

Hush money the case. those are just the ones we know about. there could be investigations we are not yet aware of. do you think that jack smith is worried that the sheer volume of the number of investigations into the former president could affect the jury, for example, in any of these cases? or any of the prosecutors concerned about that? that maybe it looks overly aggressive on the part of the government? >> i think theres no question that something that hed be taking into account. will it loo...

They are certainly not talking to each other about tactics. so, the answer is no, the investigations dont have a whole lot to do with each other. there was a thought that because jack smith charged the documents case and mar-a-lago that that was it. but this jack smith grand jury that is investigating january 6th is heating up. there are people like john eastman and mike pence entering the grand jury. you dont do that just to play around. you do that if you want to bring charges. i think what ja...
