Peacefully. It which was not how he, played not at the university of illinois, certainly not throughout the 60s and 70s with the chicago bears. He was a terror on the field, and a champion in the every sense of the word, both on and off it. Hall of fame but chris was 83 years old. That is it for, us the news continues with kaitlan collins. Tonight, straight from the source, a major new report, that donald trump allegedly revealed sensitive u. S. Secrets about nuclear submarines, to a Billionaire Member of maralago. He could potentially get a lot worse, because that businessman, reportedly shared those secrets with dozens of others. I have new reporting on that story, in just a moment. Also tonight, one of the deadliest attacks yet on civilians in ukraine, is now prompting new calls from the white house to keep u. S. Aid flowing, while some republicans, including at least one who is a leading contender to be the next House Speaker, still say no more money. And today, President Biden has said that walls do not work, yet his administration is expanding one of Donald Trumps signature policy goals, even after biden said not another foot will be built on his watch. Im kaitlan collins, and this is the source. Tonight, i have new reporting on the Trump Classified documents investigation. This comes as abc news dropped this report tonight, that months after leaving the white house, donald from allegedly discussed potentially Sensitive Information, about u. S. Nuclear submarines, with a member of his maralago beach club. And, not just any member, that member is the australian billionaire Anthony Pratt, who runs the Worlds Largest packaging companies. And, sources are confirming tonight that federal investigators have interviewed pratt, as part of his investigation into whether trump mishandled classified documents. He is someone who had a close relationship with trump, when he was in the oval office. His company, that industry has actually opened a plant in ohio, when trump was president , in 2019. You can see him here, at that opening together. During that, prep and trump unveiled an official plaque, commemorating the opening. But, a source tells me tonight that during that visit, pratt also wanted to unveil a second, secret plaque, in honor of trumps catchphrase, which read, make america, and australia, great again. We was told that pratt was advised against that move, and ultimately, did not do so. Now, according to abc, front has told investigators that during a conversation they had, trump allegedly disclosed the exact number of nuclear warheads, u. S. Submarines carry. And also, exactly how close they can supposedly get to a russian submarine, without being detected. Perhaps allegedly that went on to share this information with at least 45 other people, including more than ten australian officials, three former australian prime ministers, 11 of his own employees, and six journalists, not this one. Trump spokesperson has put out this statement tonight, saying quote, these illegal leaks are coming from sources, which totally lack proper context, and relevant information. They say President Trump did nothing wrong, he has always insisted on truth, can transparency, and acted in a proper manner,. I should note, according to the law. I want to go straight to former Deputy Director of the fbi, and cnns senior Law Enforcement analyst andrew mccabe. Andrew, when you read this, and you see that this information apparently spread far and wide, from journalists to former foreign politicians. If trump actually was telling an australian billionaire this information, how damaging is that . Oh my gosh, kaitlan, it is so unbelievably sensitive. Nuclear information about some of our most Sensitive National defense assets. And, before i talk about this, i should just say in response to the trump teams public statement, there is no proper context, there is no context that makes disclosing National Defense information, to a foreign national, acceptable or lawful, really under any circumstances whatsoever. So, that is where we are, this information is so sensitive, that it is one of the very very few categories of information, that even a sitting president cannot unilaterally declassify. So, congress has carved out special laws to cover Nuclear Defense information. This clearly would fall within that purview, so it is not something that trump could declassify, even if he was president. And we know of course when this conversation took place in april of 21, he was not. So, it is just incredibly concerning. Well, and it is not even just that he told this one person. And, apparently pratt then went on to allegedly, i should know, because he hasnt responded to our request for comments, totallys 45 others. I mean, you are in the fbi for more than 20 years, what does the Intelligence Community think, when they read a report like this . Folks in the Intelligence Community, and in the military, i should add, are, they spend their lives collecting, perfecting, and disseminating very carefully, National Defense information, top secret, highly classified information. So, to see someone, anyone, so blatant ali abuse, and misuse that information, and handlers so irresponsibly, communicated, to disseminated to a foreign national. It is just like an offense to everything that those folks hold sacred, everything they have spent their lives defending. It is just an absolute, disgusting offense. I am hearing, from sources, that pratt has been questioned by jack smith investigators, by his team. If you were in that room, what kind of questions would you be asking Anthony Pratt . Well you, know, you obviously want to establish, with as much granular detail, exactly how that interaction took place, where they were, when it happened, who might have been around them, who might have been standing with the former president. The details of everything that he said, questions that practice may have asked, or what his reaction was to the things he heard the president say. And then, you would want to move on to find out, who did he first speak to after hearing that information. We know from at least one former maralago employee, Who Overheard Pratt then relaying that information to a another person. So, you literally have to track the chain of disclosure here, from pratt to all of those 45 people, and then you are investigating all of those 45 people, to find out who they told. It just becomes an incredibly burdensome investigation, but one that is essential to pursue. Yeah, and apparently pratt is on the list of people who could be called to trial, we will see if that ultimately does happen. Andrew mccabe, thank you for joining us tonight with your expertise on this. Thank you. I want to get more reaction now from someone who is challenging trump for the 2024 republican nomination, former new jersey governor, and maybe more importantly on this subject, former u. S. Attorney chris christie. Governor i mean, when you hear that trump allegedly discussed potentially Sensitive Information about u. S. Nuclear submarines, with a member of maralago, and an australian national. I mean, what is your reaction to that . It just shows you how unfit he is for the presidency. I mean, its just that simple. You know, this is him, though. He wants to show off, he wants to make himself seem important. It is not enough for him to have been the former president of the United States, now he has to spew secrets, Sensitive Information, to people, to show off on the balcony at maralago. Its just, it is both completely on thinkable, but also completely typical, at the same time. It is why he does not have the temperament, the self control, the self discipline, to be president of the United States. Do you think that is why, if he did this, why he did this . He was just showing off . Oh, no doubt in my mind about it. I have known him for 22 years, he wasnt trying to do anything nefarious, he cant shut up. He cant help himself. If he thinks its going to make him look good, or important, or in the know, for a second to somebody, he does it. He has done it his whole life, he has never been able to keep a secret. And, even when he has access to some of the most important secrets in our country, he cant help himself. Its, its just so typical, and its another reason why he is unfit to be president of the United States. Well i mean, and everyonewheo many times and he was actually in the oval office, that it was kind of a nightmare for intelligence officials, whether it was bringing the u. S. , the Russian Ambassador to the u. S. Into the oval office, other instances. But in this case, if he did actually tell this australian billionaire this information, and then he went on and told at least 45 other people, apparently. And trump is under investigation for mishandling classified information. If you are a prosecutor, how much does this factor into your case, to make your case . Its just more whipped cream on a sunday, kaitlan, thats it. It is just more and more evidence, that he is not only willing to mishandle secrets, but anxious to do it. I have told people all along he took those documents, he kept those documents because, it made him feel important. You know it allowed him to show off to other, people you have seen the examples, allegedly of him flashing the documents around on a table at maralago. Hes got intelligence reports, in the top desk drawer in his office at maralago. I mean look, this is a guy who is so insecure, a guy who is just so needy, that you have to get through these things. Being one of only 45 people, that has ever been president of the United States, aint enough. He has got to keep showing off. Who do you think it matters to Republican Voters . Though i think it will matter to Republican Voters. Look, what Republican Voters should understand is two nights ago, we saw our own party, a very small element of them, eight of them, who are trump supporters, dispatching the speaker of the house. And when this tumult is going on, in our house of representatives, and our caucus, where is the guy who is the nominee for the party twice . The guy who is the front runner right now . Was he there in congress, helping . Was he on the phone, talking to folks, trying to convince them to support the speaker . No, he was in a courtroom, defending himself against civil fraud charges. I want everybody to understand out there who is watching, that is going to be the scene a week after week after week, from now through the election, and after. A guy who is not leading our party against the democrats, a guy who is not making the case, a guy who is sitting there whining and moaning, and complaining about his own misfortunes. And, then spending all this time in a courtroom, because that is where he is going to be compelled to be. I mean, and now, youve got some people in washington, who are talking about making him speaker of the house, for even five seconds . I mean, this is outrageous. Trump is talking about that. I mean, what do you make of. Well, of course he is. Of course, it would aggrandize him, it would give him another title, he could plane around there like the peacock he is, and act like a big shot. It wouldnt do anything, this is the guy who didnt get obamacare repealed and replaced, when he had a majority in both houses. This is the guy who had 7. 8 Trillion Dollars to the national debt, when he had control of the house and the senate. This is the guy who said he was going to build a big beautiful all across the entire border with mexico, and build 52 miles of new wall in his entire presidency, and mexico hasnt paid the first pay so towards it. This is the guy who gets things done as speaker of the house, who as the president of United States couldnt get anything done. He should not be speaker, and every president ial candidate should be out Tthe Exactbut remember, thes people who raithei, o, y be the hou me and asa hu it was well, pence weighed today, sshould not be t bi thank o Kaitlan For Ha appreciate source. Absolutely. Up n refe about on candidates to ja the list of republicans angling for a chance to be the next speaker of the house is continuing to grow, ranging from a long shot, seemingly donald trump, who is actually planning a trip to capitol hill on tuesday, we are told, even though his multiple criminal indictments would seemingly disqualify him from that job, to the underdog, oklahomas kevin hern, who is also said to be considering running, and throwing his hat in the race, to the current number two, House Majority leader steve scalise, who says he is officially in this race, working to get votes from his home state of louisiana, in recent days. And then, there is jim jordan, a man the former speaker, john boehner, once called a quote, legislative terrorist. By the end of the, week there may be even more republicans lining up to be the third in line, for the presidency. And joining me now is Louisiana Republican congressman garrett graves. Congressman, thank you for being here. Obviously, when liz cheney was on capitol hill, you worked with her on several issues. Here is what she said recently, about one of the contenders for the next House Speaker. Jim jordan knew more about what donald trump had planned for january 6th, than any other member of the house of representatives. Now, somebody needs to ask jim jordan, why didnt you report to the capitol police, what you knew donald trump had planned . If they were to decide that, there were no longer be any possible way to argue that a group of elected republicans, could be counted on to defend the constitution. Congressman, what do you make of what liz cheney was saying there about jim jordan, possibly becoming House Speaker . Look, i dont know anything about what liz is talking about. I know that obviously, there is a bit of animosity there, with her and some house republicans. But look, i want to tell you something that i think is really important. Jim jordan came to congress before i started, and had been there a number of years. And, the number of members of congress who said to jim jordan of 2010, or 2020, it is a night and day difference of the jim jordan of 2023, and there has been a lot of change in, i guess maturity in the way he has approached things. I think he is a great communicator, and i think that jim is absolutely a viable candidates, i think that steve is a viable candidate. But more importantly, i think one of the things that we need to be doing, is really focusing on the stability, or structure, of the job, the position of speaker of the house. Jim jordan obviously, defied a congressional subpoena from the January 6th Committee. Is that a factor at, all of whether not he is the right person to succeed Kevin Mccarthy . Look, the January 6th Committee was a partisan effort. If there had been a committee that was actually set up, that republicans got to choose who was on it, and got to appoint their own members, i think that would have been a different story. But to go out and structured the way they did, at the beginning, you really did undermine the integrity of that committee. While every other committee in congress, you have the respective parties, that get the choose who their members are, with expertise to serve. Well that was a decision of, by Kevin Mccarthy, there were two republicans on, including liz cheney. But put into committee aside, it sounds that youd be willing to potentially vote for jim jordan, as the next House Speaker. Look, i think what is most important, and what i am prioritizing, is stabilizing the structure of the position of speaker of the house. Kaitlan, after that, yes, we need to have a robust discussion about who is best. Is it steve scalise, is it jim jordan, is it a third candidate out there . But what i am focused on is the functionality of the house of representatives, undoing this disaster that matt gaetz and the rest of the chaos caucus have done to the house. And, making sure that we get back on track, doing the things that we need to be doing, for this country. Okay, so it sounds like you dont think it is a two man race, at this point. You are a close ally of Kevin Mccarthys, you were there during his 15 rounds to become speaker in january. Are you disappointed that the former president didnt try to come to his defense more, as he was in the throes of being ousted from his job . I am disappointed that matt gaetz went out, and fabricated this narrative, and then acted on it. I mean, this was the Jack Abramoff of congress, the disgraced lobbyist that created problems for his clients, and then charge them more money to fix them. Thats what matt gaetz did, thats where my frustration is. This is something that is internal to congress, this is not something that is external to outside sources. Well, thats interesting you said that, because trump is coming, apparently he is considering it, likely im told, by sources, to the capital on tuesday, as you are having your Candidate Forum the day before. You are going to have your actual speaker, and he is claiming tonight that he is actually going to take the job, as House Speaker, on a short term basis. Do you believe that that could happen . You know, there is a part of me that just sitting down and buying tickets to watch the
