gas prices may be down, but almost everything else is up. who s to blame, and how do we fix it? as the 11th hour gets underway on this tuesday night. good evening once again, i m stephanie ruhle. we ve got brand-new reporting from the new york times tonight about the likelihood of the prosecution of former president donald trump. katie benner is one of our next guests, she and her colleagues write this. the department could continue potential charges against mr. trump, much sooner in the mar-a-lago documents case then in the january six investigation then the people the report goes on to say that it s an ugly that merrick garland would be in a position to lobby criminal charges against or in the documents also this evening a federal judge in florida has unsealed more information from the affidavit or the fbi used to get the mar-a-lago search warrant done weeks ago. geoffrey berman weighed in on that investigation. what strikes me as the most significant revelation, is t
turned over everything that we found. as my understanding, on very good believe, there s a thorough investigation that there is nothing there. the last thing before we go tonight, where are the lawyers? that there was trump attorney christine about, the she s a former tv presenter, and a 2020 election denier, and is now on the front lines of trump s illegal war against doj, over the search at mar-a-lago. as you might remember, that was a lawyer who signed a letter certifying that all classified material had been returned to the justice department. well it turns out that was not true. we have our friend and msnbc contributor where a summary to tweet this. saga, making attorneys get attorneys. and all of this politics girl thinking. thinking about this. watch. okay, let s work from the premise that donald trump is
gathering tremendous amounts of information to look into whether those connections between whether those strands of that investigation. whether they faced electors that falsely claim that donald trump and others looking at the planning for the rally and whether or not there are any misdeeds happening that could violate a federal statute. and there are also questions about donald trump s financial, he s relied on while in office. well all this is very interesting, not enough information is being gathered, it still needs to be sifted through. i wouldn t expect anything to come out for a little while. kylie, the average person watching, probably doesn t feel like this is happening at a great speed, especially when you consider that this guy likely wants to run for president. you know merrick garland, and you know how these investigations work. when you think of katie s reporting that charges are not coming anytime soon? well, i agree with
we don t know why the special master will end and even without, them investigators thought they had a month or two of work. they want to interview the wanted to determine whether or not donald trump had returned all the evidence he could to the federal government. and that takes you through basically the end of the year. even of the justice department were to appeal the dallas special master case you have no idea how long that would take, and possibly the two other crimes that the justice department put in his application for a search warrant even more. so that is the amount of the investigation into documents. on january 6th what we found is that moving aggressively. from the 30 or so search warrants issued last week. but they have not yet articulated any clear theory around charging the former president. really what they re doing is
