We have no reason to believe that one was closed. remember that pence earlier this year announced he had found some limited number of classified documents at his home in indiana and that the fbi then engaged in a search that was voluntary to see what else was there. no charges in that case. biden case still open, and the trump documents case very much appearing to come to a conclusion, chris. >> so carol, you reported on the classified documents case involving joe biden, and i know carol leonnig, so i know that even though there may have been no public reporting about where that might be, you'...

Months. a rico case is essentially used most likely for drug cartels, for mobsters, that's where it started was mobsters, especially in new york. and it is federal law and also state law. it happens to be that in georgia, the rico statutes are incredibly broad in addition to less strict, i would say, than federal rico laws. the standards are a little lower than what she can bring into court, and it sounds from our reporters that she is gathering evidence and her team is gathering evidence that sprawls across the nation looking at the broader effort by donald trump and his allies to basically k...
