20th 2024. this is obviously later than the december date that jack smiths team was aiming for, but also puts the caution on the indefinite postponement that trump had actually sought not too long ago. is there a middle ground here on who this date benefits? >> i think overwhelmingly its -- well and its one of those things that people have said will neither side go what they want. neither side expected to get what they wanted. trumps attorneys understood that a speedy trial would actually need s...

Understood that a speedy trial would require a judge actually setting a date, but they had no other legal recourse and the idea of a may 20th, 2024 trial date actually provides them a glimmer of hope that they can now develop a strategy around it, heres why. may 20th, by that point, the primary will be over. trump will presumptively be the republican candidate as the nominee for that party, and what thats going to do is its going to reopen their previous arguments around a trial taking place at ...

Supreme court, what recourse does your organization have? >> thank you for having me. were expecting to be heard at the federal court on august 14th. we believe that that initial panel issued a very clear decision. the state appealed, and when the supreme court had an opportunity to review our case, to review, you know, the lower courts decision, they affirmed the decision. they asked our state legislature to go and create a second congressional district that would provide black alabamians an op...

That may be, you know, a theory that suggests that trump knew that he had actually lost. and that is claims of widespread voter fraud were false. he knew that. what trump knew that he had no ability and no legal recourse to prevent trump from certifying himself that day. those are independent theories. but they do both rely on having a very clear position as to what trumps intent actually was that day. >> i want to play some -- from my interview with sarah matthews, former trump white house -- w...

See this in part where she goes beyond the december trial date that they have requested. the indefinite setting of a trial date is simply unconstitutional and i know that she understands, there is no precedent for it, even in the case of first impression like we have here, its extremely unlikely that judge cannon is going to move to have this trial delayed until after the 2024 election. i dont see it happening. and the event that somehow it does, they do have the recourse of filing a -- this wou...

Would lineup in this manner. that is what happened. going forward, her rulings on these motions, and these pleadings are going to be critical and giving some insight to everyone as to how she is treating donald trump. is she dealing with him as donald trump the citizen, or donald trump the former president who deserves some sort of special consideration? all that remains to be, seemed its going to come out slowly. >> on thursday, the doj asked the florida federal judge to disregard former presid...

>> yeah, far-reaching consequences. but what recourse, well, now that its passed out of the house, there is nothing you and your democratic colleagues can do. but once the senate does its job and the conference committee happens, what can democrats do in order to blunt some of the harshness in the ndaa right now? >> were working closely with our colleagues in the senate to try and make sure the very worst of the provisions dont make it into the final version and that some of the good things we h...

>> alyssa? >> i mean, the truth, if the two attorneys who filled it out are the two that are actually going to be reviewing those documents, then thats fine. back with the old team, jim trusty and i, we both have security clearances, and the amount of classified documents were talking about here are not so voluminous that you have to have a huge team of associates, ten different people to look at them. having two people look at them, i dont see the sf-86 issue as being the primary indicator of d...

Security clearances. and, the amount of classified documents we are talking about here are not so voluminous that you have to have a huge team of associates, and ten different people to look at them. having two people look at them, i dont see the s f 86 issue as being the primary indicator of. >> yeah, i think what id say though is, its the kind of thing for which you dont really have a ton of recourse, either if youre the government, or if youre the court. if they are just dragging their feet o...

Future. but again, shes not under, she doesnt have a deadline by which he has to rule on any one motion. >> if she does decide to delay the trial, does the doj have any recourse? >> well, at that point, you dont have a ton of recourse to challenge individual rulings by a judge on things like scheduling. now, as the congressman said a moment ago, shes already ruled in the case in a number of observers, including the justice department, have found to take issue with her ruling. and perhaps, they c...
