Those materials away from federal investigators and the national archives. that s what makes it so grave. yeah. i don t consume a ton of right-wing media content for my own mental health but i consume enough to know that the most dangerous place to be is between bill barr and a camera when he s asked about trump s criminal exposure on the mar-a-lago probe. it almost isn t even a purely partisan analysis, that his grave legal exposure is squarely on the two prongs of the mar-a-lago case, both the mishandling of classified documents and the new public-facing evidence about his knowledge that things he had weren t declassified, his sort of intent to share it by rustling the papers around, as well as the obstructive acts have all been quite public. we have heard him say in interview after interview they re mine. there s been investigative reporting about him wanting to swap this for that, all of it classified. i mean, what do you how do ....

Interviewed mark meadows. has me? that was my next question. you say that, but one of the most significant witnesses in the january 6th investigation and in the mar-a-lago probe is the former white house chief of staff mark meadows. the trump legal team has no indication with what is going on with mark meadows. from our reporting, we also don t know what is going on with mark meadows. it s very difficult to believe the trump team when they are yeah, they have spoken with everyone. so that s the big outstanding question right now, if he s cooperating and if and when he ll go before the grand jury. paula, jennifer, thank you. a busy afternoon here as the u.s. gets closer to a possible default. some democrats are starting to blame their own party for a debt limit deal not having been done. plus, the passing of legendary singer and entertainer tina turner. new reactions coming in, and what led a florida school ....
