Was not sufficiently connected to former presidents duties as an official of the united states, as president, so it should go back to state court where it was originally brought. this was a decision that was anticipated and so now it goes back to the state court in which the district attorney, alvin brag, brought it. theres been no delay to the proceedings there, which are currently scheduled to go to trial in march of 2024. >> garrett haake and jessica roth, thank you both very much. with us ...

Extraordinary as the american republic is, things that have happened elsewhere can happen here. democracy is not guaranteed. this is really a moment to strengthen those institutions and to fight for them. >> to your point about reagan, a vision of america as a shining city on a hill, now to american carnage, a hell hole that only donald trump can save, though he had a chance to save it for four years. chuck rosenberg, more specifically on the charges that we think may be brought against donald t...

Investigation. >> vaughn, one of the criminal statutes mentioned in this target letter sent to trump was conspiracy to defraud the u.s. of course conspiracy by definition means theres somebody else involved. do we know if anybody else received target letters? >> we are not aware of anybody else receiving target letters at this time, but we also know that the special counsels office is not obligated to send target letters to other individuals so they could bring charges without giving them a pote...

Opportunity to be heard and certainly merrick garland will be listening for something they had not thought of. i just dont expect for the same reason that we saw the bragg case and the documents case go forward, that theyre really going to have something surprising. theyre really good at looking at all of these issues at the department so i just dont think thats going to be a terribly fruitful avenue, but it still is one defense counsel of course should take. thats their job is to make those arg...

Smith focuses on that. so that so me to me is the count of the felony. and conspiracy to interfere with the lawful function of government. that is a catch-all. and then the third statute reported as in the target letter is the deprivation of civil rights. i think the theory there would be that the president took actions to deprive people of their right to vote by interfering with the election, by discrediting or attempting to not recognize their vote, their votes for president biden. and so inte...
