colleagues olamon, as don t offend k mark, a man smiling sanders-townsend with us from miami, katie phang. the twice impeached and now twice indicted donald trump has become the first ex president to face criminal charges from the federal government. over the next two hours, my colleagues and i along with some special guests are gonna break down the justice department s case against the former commander in chief. a case that we saw for the first time just yesterday when the bombshell 37 count indictment was unsealed. the indictment which also names the trump aide and valet, walt nauta, as his coconspirator. outlined criminal charges related to more than 100 classified documents that federal agents recovered from trump s mar-a-lago resort last august. trump faces 31 counts of violating the espionage act, through willful retention of classified records. he faces another six counts stemming from his alleged efforts to impede the investigation. nauta it was also charged w ....
we re building that wall. the justice department has just announced a special counsel to lead a new investigation into russian influence in the election and whether there was coordination with members of the trump campaign. president putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today. president trump becoming the fourth american president to face the prospect of impeachment. it feels as if, culturally, we re in a cold civil war. [theme music] [donald] when mexico sends its people, they re not sending their best. they re bringing drugs, they re bringing crime, they re rapists, and some, i assume, are good people. when trump announced his candidacy for the presidency, he was not seen as a serious candidate. he, himself, confided to some of his advisors. essentially, what s the downside? this is a great marketing exercise. i will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and i will have mexico pay for that wall. i was prepared to just watch it for a couple ....
before he appears before a judge. now trump says that he ll plead not guilty to charges connected to his handling of classified documents. and of course as you may know, this is his 2nd indictment in 3 months. despite that growing legal peril that he finds himself and during an interview with political last night, trump vowed to continue campaigning for president even if he were convicted. now that s not entirely shocking to be honest. trump never admitted defeat after losing the 2020 election, he s not going to tap out of the 2024 race when it s just getting started. there s more to this move then his inability to back down. it s not about politics, trump s 3rd white house bid has a bigger strategy at its core. as axios explains, for donald trump 2024 campaign is more than a race to return to the white house. this is a fight to stay out of prison, legal experts believe it s unlikely that the criminal trial be resolved before the 2024 election whoever wins the president ....
troubles, as you know, he s already been indicted by the manhattan district attorney alvin bragg in the hush money case, and there are still pending investigations in georgia, and in washington d.c., related to his effort to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential elections. so it s possible that trump could be the defendant in multiple criminal trials, as republicans head to the polls to vote in the primaries. and in a new interview with political yesterday, trump vowed to stay in the race even if he s convicted of a crime, telling the reporter, quote, i will never leave. now, that s not at all surprising, he s previously vowed to continue campaigning for the republican nomination if he were indicted, a threshold that we ve already crossed twice now. and although few republicans have come out to denounce him and call former trump out of the race, the maturity of the party has come to his defense and criticize the justice system instead. yesterday, just two days a ....
