Thats tonight on this side good evening im abby philip in new york and go all the way back to Donald Trumps very first legal filings and you can spot his legal strategy in plain view. One, make villains out of the people who are bringing you the cases against him. And to delay any and all Legal Proceedings until the latest possible day a day that he hopes comes after the 2024 election. Now, tonight, the former president appears to be winning his two front war on the calendar and on the prosecutors seeking to try him, take georgia, for example, Fani Willis Sat there and listen to trumps attorneys accused her of systemic misconduct prosecutors dont act like this. They said they dont hide affairs with coworkers. They said because she did, according to trumps lawyers, at least, they demand that she be cast out of that
was part of some operation orchestrated by fbi agents is ludicrous. your job is to review what they do. your job is to protect the american people from a tyrannical fbi storming the home of a american family. i could not agree more with your description of the fbi being tyrannical. you preside over the fbi that has the lowest level of trust in the fbi s history. people trusted the fbi more when j. ed gar hoover was running the place. respectfully, congressman, in your home state of florida the number of people applying to come work for us is up over 100%. the american people fully understand there is a two tiered justice system that has been weaponized to persecute people based on their political beliefs and that you have personally worked to weaponize the fbi against conservatives. i would disagree with your characterization of the fbi and certainly your description. the idea i m biased against conservatives seems somewhat insane to me given my own personal backgro
calls institutional rot and conservative bias as well. the f.b.i. recently revoked two of the witnesses security clearances. the bureau refact clearances. democrats expected to pounce. last hour we heard this in a moment. dana: all this after the durham report found the f.b.i. was biased against president trump. jordan says it s part of a larger problem. politics is driving the agenda in far too many federal agencies. read the durham report from a couple of days ago where they outline where you had the f.b.i. and the justice department start an investigation with no predicate. if you are a parent attending a school board meeting, a pro-lifeer praying at a clinic or a catholic simply going to mass you are a target of the government. target of the f.b.i. if you re one of these folks willing to come forward and talk about what s going on out there, you get attacked. they will try to crush you. bill: that was a preview. we heard it an hour ago. david spunt at the justice
seconds, ago lawyers for the former president took the next step in the effort to force an independent review of materials taken from his florida mansion. they are court. filing, which we just got our hands on a second ago, caps a day of reaction to a justice department filing. and the picture, this one in attachment f, it shows highly classified documents that the fbi says it s found despite written assurance two months prior according to doj. that none remain there. cnn s learned that trump attorney and former ankara christina bob, was one of the people giving that assurance, signing a letter saying. so the doj filing goes on to say the documents were quote, likely concealed and removed from a storage room at mar-a-lago as part of an effort to quote, obstruct, unquote the fbi investigation. it says that some recovered items were so highly classified that even some fbi counter intelligence personnel and others needed additional security clearances to review them. so, that s
we are standing by to review that affidavit as soon as it comes out, which could be this hour. let s begin this hour with cnn justice correspondent jessica schneider. jess, this affidavit could be released any moment, sometime between now and noon. walk us through this whole process, what we will see, what we probably won t see. yeah, in i minute now, guys. what s interesting about this is it s all been a relatively rapid process. you know, it was less than four hours after the doj submitted their proposed redactions that the judge ruled, yes, in fact, he would accept that proposal and it would be released to the public. like you said, in just two hours here. and what s notable is that the judge seems to be agreeing with what the doj has proposed, despite the fact that what we saw in court just about a week ago was doj pushing back substantially against the judge, saying even if they issued a redacted version of this affidavit, they said that there would be so many redactio
