Former President Trumps legal team has until tomorrow to respond to the special counsel request to limit what trump can say about the interference case against him. Prosecutors threatening a post online that was made by the former president this weekend. T julie, good morning. Reporter despite a third criminal indictment this week, Campaign Season in full swing for the former president headlining backtoback gop fundraisers, seemingly undeterred about a new development in washington in the 2020 election interference probe. That would set limits on what mr. Trumps legal team can do with the evidence that will be shared in discovery. Under this filing, federal prosecutors ask that trump not be allowed to retain sensitive materials, to prevent the, quote, improper dissemination of evidence that prosecutors said could have a Chilling Effect on witnesses. Pointing to this post friday on trump social media platform saying, if you go after me, im coming after you its something that the Trump Campaign maintains is political speech overnight the former president s counsel pushing back and asking the judge more time to respond to the protective order request and something the judge quickly denied and trump slamming mike pence on truth social saturday night calling him, quote, delusional the former vp willie . A historic week of a former president being indicted again julie, thanks so much. Chuck todd is moderator of meet the press. Good morning we hear mike pence offering some criticism in this later indictment against the former president. This is what trump promised if you come after me, i come after you. Look at the polling and massive managers inside the republican primary between donald trump and everybody else, including ron desantis is criticizing President Trump work for any of these guys and if not what will i do not know i wonder if now is the time to try to find out, right, in different ways if you dont criticize him then yo all youre doing is helping him and i dont know how you defeat him by hugging him and i think a strategy tried now and its pretty clear its not working. I would say this if you look at the history of trump when he gets angry and gets in these sort of holes, his polling does go down people dont like how negative and dire and if he is always constantly on that mode. Now, maybe it doesnt hurt him that much with the republican base, but it really hurts him with swing voters. And ive always thought this, willie you know, the republican dynamic in this primary only changes if there is general election polling showing trump losing by more than five points. If that if we get to that moment, then, all of a sudden, the whole idea that he cant win is actually something that voters might contemplate but right now, the biggest thing that benefits donald trump is the fact that its a tied race and i always have this question. Does it say more about trump or biden that a former president is tied with the current president . Yeah. More polling this week show exactly that youre so right, chuck, that even with this latest indictment, neck and neck, its going to be a close race we will see how it shakes out. Thanks so much, chuck. We will look for more morning on meet the press when chuck is joined by jamie raskin a former member of the january 6th committee and as well as Donald Trumps attorney john lauro.
