worst part of the day. since we last met, donald trump responded to that development in the form of a meandering, unhinged 14 paige letter addressed to bennie thompson. we ll spare you the much debunked claims, the kicking and screaming, random sentences, inexplicably in all caps except to say nowhere did trump commit to complying with the subpoena and even reporting trump may want to make that interview with the committee a live one. we ll talk to a committee member to find out if that is on the table. as a matter of fact, though, trump s kwaurl with the january 6th committee is one of a number of separate avenues of legal peril for the twice impeached ex-president. all of these stories every one of them broke within hours of one another. we ll run down the rest. there is this seditious conspiracy trial of far right oath keepers related to the capitol attack an trump is very much present in all of those proceedings. evidence presented in court shows that militia group s memb
search warrant served on monday. that s right, victor. we didn t expect attorney general merrick garland to come out today but he is going to be making a statement from the justice department building in downtown washington. they haven t disclosed yet exactly what it is going to be about, but you re right, there has been pressure building in recent days since this search on monday, this unprecedented search of a former president s home, that we are watching to see whether garland may want to make a statement about this. now, this isn t something that the justice department typically would comment on. it is an ongoing investigation. we don t believe that there have been charges brought at this time. we haven t seen any emerge from this. it s also about national security issues. on top of that, garland is not the type of attorney general that makes a lot of public statements, does a lot of press conferences, even whenever there were charges for seditious conspiracy, another u
he now has obliged and will make some remarks. let s go to caitlyn polanz. the former president can clear up a lot of these accusations. he has a documented inventory of what was taken from his home on monday as part of this search. and he thus far has decided not to disclose that. that s right. really we have heard mostly the trump team, his lawyers, himself trying to fill in the blanks about why they believe there was this search of mar-a-lago. we ve done our best to report out, but we are able to say there are national security concerns, there were concerns that the people at mar-a-lago weren t being entirely forthcoming about what was there, that there was a need to go back in after a subpoena with this search to get boxes. but i wanted to highlight one of the things that director wray said in this letter, he said when all the facts come out, we stuck to the process, and the process here, that is a process that s in court. so the reason that trump is able to go out ther

beforehand, and it was essentially a diatribe against new york state attorney general letitia james accusing her of being biased against him and conducting a politically motivated witch hunt for political gain. he acknowledged he said in the past that if you re innocent, you have no reason to take the fifth amendment. he said recent events in his life have caused him to change his tune including the recent fbi raid search of his compound in mar-a-lago, florida. he said it just made no sense for him to cooperate in any way with this civil fraud investigation. what s interesting about it is his son, eric trump, we re told took the fifth amendment more than 500 times in a deposition in this very case back in 2020. but more recently, his daughter ivanka and other son don jr. we re told did testify and answer questions in this investigation which is about whether the trump organization committed fraud in its representations to banks and insurance companies. leticia james has alr
