Lawyer was saying you could do legally. it was actually part of the criminal conspiracy thats alleged here. then the final piece that we just saw was this idea of, did he have the requisite intent because he thought he had won the election? i will say theres going to be a lot of proof he didnt think that. its not clear thats required under the -- all of the legal statutes that are cited here. for instance, once the courts had said that you lost, thats it. you dont, for instance, get to go to con...

Could be finished by that point? potentially, yes. the special council has charged donald trump alone, not his co—conspirators, and the statutes that he chose in part out of try to get this case tried as soon as possible. the department of justice policy prevents taking any enforcement action close... people start voting as far as the beginning of next year, he was... to get this case adjudicated sometime in early 2024. it might be of adjudicated before the election. mr trump will try to draw ...

Defense, the trump defense team has been mentioning and kind of underlining is a change of venue. wondering how possible is that change of venue and what is it in a trial like this that a change of venue would be seen as something that could be done? >> so, he should not be able to obtain a change of venue under the legal rules. under the constitution, and relevance statutes, criminal cases have to be tried in the district in which the offense was committed. so the prosecutors dont have a choice...

Here in the district of columbia, and sets forth the crimes charged in detail. >> that was special counsel, jack smith, who looked like a bedraggled nervous wreck, dripping with anger and highly emotional. the last time jack smith charged the politician, the case was so we could get tossed out of the supreme court unanimously. joe biden justice department is using obscure federal statutes, to put a former president in prison for the rest of his life. these charges are not bribery, not assault, t...
