Of telling trumps legal team here? >> i think, they really just want them back. sometimes their strategy to be employed, gamesmanship because you are involved in litigation, you want to get the upper hand and win the case. here, i think the real truth is, they just want these documents back. now maybe it will result and criminal charges for donald trump. these are the crown jewels of the intelligence community. and having these documents fall into the wrong hands can cause, by definition, except...

They just want these documents back. now maybe it will result and criminal charges for donald trump. these are the crown jewels of the intelligence community. and having these documents fall into the wrong hands can cause, by definition, exceptionally grave harm to the national security of the united states. so, they most desperately want to get these documents back. and so, no gamesmanship, just going straight to donald trumps lawyers and saying, does he have these documents? we very much want ...

Hints in some of the justice departments filings in the mar-a-lago documents case which is obviously getting very complicated with appeals all the way to the supreme court now. there are hints in there that they are not sure they have everything. one of the arguments for why they need to have access to the documents now and a special master process interfering is they think that the documents they do have an hand could offer clues as to whether there is anything else out there. we have seen thes...

>> tonight, a source tells cnn the doj has been demanding in recent weeks the former president return any classified documents he still has, making clear they dont believe he returned, or he has returned from the white house. alex burns is here, coauthor of this will not pass. also, national security attorney bradley moss is here, and former federal prosecutor jim walden joins us as well. good evening, gentlemen. jim, im going to start with you. your reaction to this new reporting on what we can...

Lead. but this shows you why the special master process is really imperfect. theres 11,000 documents sitting in a database that could hold the keys to what other documents exist, how they got there, where they might be now and doj is ham strung. theyre in a database they cant look at them until the special master reviews them. doj is in a bad position. trump people are in a worse position. theyre certifying that the documents are all disclosed. other attorneys are coming out saying i would never...

House, from the administration, which would also be presidential records. in part, because they were not using official right house email, and white house government issued phones. they were using apps that would encrypt those passages, making them disappear, so theyre concerned they dont have all the messages, and its unclear whether or not those things can be recovered. >> it is now been eight weeks since the search at mar-a-lago, and still we have not heard any explanation from trump or his l...

Odds with one another over legal strategy. his newest lawyer, chris guys, want them to turn down the temperature or the department of justice but the rest of the team, and trump, they dont agree. this, week trump did get a ruling in his favor from the judge in charge of the case. his 2020 appointed judge alien cannon, overruled orders that would force trumps lawyers to backups on the claims hes making in an actual court of law. just hours ago the department of justice filed a new appeal asking t...

Department doing the hiring instead from donald trump and billing that service to donald trump. judge cannons new order in the case simply pushes back deadlines by a couple of weeks to accommodate this delay in the hiring of a data processing firm, trump lawyers now have until november 4th to file their own description of each of the 11,000 documents that were seized in the search after theyve examined those documents, and they assert any privilege with they believe protects anyone of those docu...

Sign that the system is working properly. i think if i was on trumps team right now, i would be looking for an off ramp, out of that special master process because -- no, you are not going to be able to -- from using the classified material. and to continue their criminal investigation. and the judge is getting right to the point and saying, to donald trump, -- make your claims now, put forward your evident now. -- or whether or not you think there is anything that was planted by the fbi. and so...
