ruth ben-ghiat. history professor at nyu and charles coleman junior, msnbc legal analyst and former brooklyn prosecutor. okay so ruth, when a reporter asked trump whether he agrees of his lawyers will this whole thing that he can order a seal team six to assassinate political opponent. this is how he responded, listen to this. >> if a president of the united states does not have immunity, he would be totally ineffective, because he will be able to do anything. it will mean he will be prosecuted, strongly prosecuted perhaps, as soon as he leaves office by the opposing party. so a president in the united states, i'm not talking just me, i'm talking any president, has to have immunity. >> so ruth, is he avoiding the question? or is he continuing to make the case for, in the words of emperor palpating from star wars, unlimited power? >> yeah, the dream of every authoritarian, and the reality of all of the leaders that trump holds up as his role models. because they are not democrats,

before and after the fbi issued its subpoena for those classified documents. at this point, walt now to is now corroborating with doj prosecutors. he gave them some conflicting narratives in separate interviews about what went down as a pertained to the moving of those boxes. after prosecutors threatened to charge mr. nauta with a crime. he ceased communication with the special counsel's team. but trump's lawyer, evan corcoran, the one who took all those notes, he is cooperating. he has to. he's been ordered to buy a federal judge. and the detailed journals mr. corcoran just handed over to special counsel, jack smith, those journals tell a very interesting story about walt nauta and his role in all of this. this is from the guardian, about what happened after the doj first subpoenaed almost mystifying classified documents. quote, the notes described how corcoran told nauta about the subpoena before he started looking for classified documents.

the food that you've gotten your plate. and figure out if it's enough to pass some of the legal benchmarks that they're looking for. for instance, do you have enough evidence, both to obtain and to sustain a conviction. so, sometimes, we see a little bit more legal work going on in the background. i think it's relatively rare for prosecutors to consider these sort of extraneous factors like other investigations that may be underway. setting aside the timeline, which, of course, is a mystery to all of everybody except for jack smith, probably. devin, the strength of the case here, the evidence that we're learning about, the fact that evan corcoran was a copious notetaker, down to the reporting in the guardian says, in addition to his exchange with trump. corcoran described trump's facial expressions and reactions whenever they discussed the subpoena. then usually detailed nature of his notes said to have irritated trump, who only learned about them after the notes themselves were subpoenaed.

particularly fulsome witness for the government. i think those notes and the broader picture of what corcoran says he was told is important to understand the presidents own words and actions. >> yeah, i would say, joyce, i wonder how you read this, the very fact that trump's lawyer, who, by the way, is still working for trump, the fact that he's taking these notes in the first place suggests to me and other people that this is someone who maybe knew the kind of client he was dealing with. it doesn't seem like common practice for a lawyer to be jotting down notes about what his client's facial expression was when i talked about the subpoena. that seems out of the ordinary, at least to me. does it to you? >> it really does, it's much more a stock in trade of a prosecutor, which evan corcoran once was. and the district of columbia. it's what you do when you're interviewing a witness, and you're trying to figure out if they're credible, and what kind

>> right, that just a really important factual point in this case, it's important remember, vertically with evan corcoran. evan corcoran has brought brought into this late. after other lawyers talk to trump about this. evan corcoran, comes into this cold got a lot of this from the former president could've evan corcoran it at the mercy. of trump's lawyers of events. when he spotted late. and i think it's part of the reason why his notes are so important. and part of the reason why what evan corcoran is told maybe significantly different than the facts, because he is new to the issue. >> there's another piece of this that i think is important if not specifically legally but for the narrative which is why didn't trump want to hold on to these documents? and dublin, you've had a piece that i found similar, it's pockmarked on our browser, about trump's sort of motivation for all of us which sounds like it was vanity. and yet you have some new

we still do not know. but the special counsel's investigators, they just might. because they have talked to almost everybody involved in this whole thing. they have talked to maids, staff, and mar-a-lago. they've talked to high-level officials. they have obtained the cooperation of an insider witness. and they have subpoenaed a ton of documents. i just the past 24 hours, the new york times in the washington post both report that the special counsel has subpoenaed records from trump's businesses going back as far as 2017, as part of that same mar-a-lago investigation. no, the special counsel's investigators appear to be ready to reach a conclusion. the wall street journal reports today, jack smith is wrapping up the mar-a-lago investigation. which means we could know any day now whether the former president of the united states will face yet another criminal

because corcoran needed nauta to unlock the storage room. corcoran then described how nauta had offered to help him go through the boxes, which corcoran declined and said nauta should stay outside. going through 60 boxes in the storage room, took longer than expected, and the search ended up lasting several days. the notes, again, evan corcoran's notes, they also suggested to prosecutors that there were times when the storage room might have been left unattended, well the search for the classified documents was ongoing, such as when mr. corcoran needed to take a break, and walked out to the pool area nearby. okay, so, consider all of this information for a minute. trump's lawyer asked trump's body men to unlock the storage room. hey, walt, the other key for this room? trump's body made annette then asked a lawyer ponytail, hey, evan, do you need any help? corcoran says, no thank you. walt. can you also please stay outside.

knows the stakes are getting higher. and this week, there's a ton of new reporting, suggesting that when it comes to special counsel, jack smith, the stakes are, indeed, about to get a lot higher. for starters, we've got a whole new host of reporting about how the special counsel -- prosecutor, is now in possession of detailed notes taken by trump's former lawyer, evan coker, in notes that describe exactly what was happening down at mar-a-lago. while trump was refusing to turn over classified documents to the fbi. they are very detailed. these notes, taken by mr. evan corcoran, they tell us a lot. about one key figure, and all of trump's orbit. this man. his name is what -- he is trump's longtime aide. his body man, in the white house parlance. no, prosecutors have been circling him for some time, ever since it was discovered the trump told him to move boxes of classified information out of the storage room, both

attorney's case against him. now, today, mr. trump appeared in that courtroom again, virtually. by video conference from mar-a-lago. the reason for this hearing was that the judge in this case needed to explain to former president trump why he is not allowed to post any of the evidence from this case on social media. which seems like it was probably quite necessary. because donald trump has a real tendency to post about his various legal entanglements. this weekend, for example, the former president went on a truth social tirade, the radical left democrats will step up their fake investigations on me because they they now see they can't win at the ballot box. trump hating special prosecutor jack smith, whose family and friends are big-time haters and, will be working overtime on this treasonous quest. >> mr. trump tends to do that kind of frenzy posting what he
