donald trump's voice. so the prosecution has a lot of things on its side. >> anthony, stay with me for the next story. concerns another legal case against donald trump. newly unsealed transcripts reveal that a high level trump white house staffer warned him that he could be indicted if he didn't return the classified documents that he took with him when leaving office. yesterday nearly 400 pages of investigative documents were partially unsealed by judge aileen cannon. among them fbi interviews with someone known only as person 16 who, quote, had free access to trump and the oval office was and was regularly briefed on national security matters. this person told agents as president trump never issued a standing order to declassify all documents as he now claims to have done. and the first time person 16 even heard of such an order was in 2022 after the documents had already been seized from trump's florida home. person 16 also told the fbi that they met with trump multiple times after he left the white hou

it is a huge threat for donald trump. the blistering brief we got from the office on friday really paints a picture here but i can just cut to the chase on this. there is a lot of other stuff in here about cayman islands, holding companies and all this other stuff. i encourage people to take a look at this document. the real kicker is math. the company that he got to do the bond only has a surplus of $138 million. this is a bond for $175 million but it gets worse. under new york law, an insurer is only allowed to write a risk of up to 10% of that surplus. so, the biggest thing that he could have done here is 13.8 billion. not 175 million. so, there is a very strong case to be made that night does not have the assets to do this bond and that it should not have been allowed and it won't be allowed and the judge is going to say, nope, you can get a bond, sir, but it's not going to be from them and that is going to potentially result in proceedings taking place to go find assets to cover the judgment. >> so, just the math rig

donald trump, this is governor roy cooper, donald trump is responsible for north carolina's abortion ban, that restricts women's freedom to make their own health care decisions. since donald trump stands between a woman and her doctor, north carolinians will stand between donald trump and the white house this november. i mean, that is some strong messaging. is it enough to be able to say that reproductive rights are on the ballot in november, when you have donald trump waffling on whether or not he supports the national ban? >> we know that the abortion issue is bedeviling republicans. we have seen a trail of republican losses since the overturning of roe v wade. i don't think by itself, it is enough. i think it has to be done in complement with the economic accomplishment story. and also, frankly, the threat to american democracy that the maga republican project led by donald trump represents. but, that trifecta, the economic progress, the dangers of the freedoms that are going to be overturned and have been overturned on abortion, reproductive rights, and the threat to democracy. t

it's paid in service to donald trump. and, again, the key for us has to be if we are functionallyk the speaker how do we convince the voters in november that he should formally be the speaker? and you can't give them the keys to the car that drives government any longer. that is going to be the challenge. we have to keep showing community and competence beats chaos and corruption every single day. >> i guess the other question at some point there is a weird set of choices here. because when we went through this last time the democrats voted to vacate the chair as a group. because that's just the way it works. you guys figure it out. now it seems like there's conversations happening between johnson democrats about maybe raising the threshold. it doesn't seem like they were inventing the notion. would you be open to that? >> totally open to it, helping ha rim keep -- hakeem keep us unified. mccarthy struck so many deals and couldn't hold to the deals when they came to call it in they realized they had all been deceived. and

it was repetition and we know from donald trump for years that repetition is a powerful thing. a lie told over and over can become a truth. and in this case, you saw story after story after story the effect it had. ben carson was doing surgery, leaving sponges in people's brains. and that's the sort of story that they were pushing while at the same time they were grabbing negative information about donald trump and buying it off the market. >> what was it like there in the courtroom? what was truck's reaction, demeanor? did you see what the jurors were doing or not doing? >> i'm in an overflow room. i can't see his reaction to the jurors. for the most part, he had a pretty good scowl on his face. that's how i would describe it. he's not happy being there, of course. so that -- we're looking at him, i got a view of the monitor, that's primarily what i saw. >> and so, coming up next, i know tomorrow the prosecution still has pecker on the stand. there is cross coming. >> right, we're going to see tomorrow karen mcdougal, another woman that had a relationship with donald trump, we
