Donald Trump

So what is your expectation for this cease and desist letter?

And, you know, you're giving the DOJ, what, three days to agree to not release the file.

What do you plan to do if they release it anyway?

And that's the bottom line.

And to that end, Congressman, what is your expectation here or what do you want people to understand about what Kash Patel and his ilk are doing right now, how he's using the Justice Department?

And explain for viewers just how unusual this is, given everything that's come before and in which people walked away going, he did nothing, there's nothing here.

Well, yeah, you just laid it out there very clearly.

And it's important for people to understand and contextualize exactly what you said, because that's how they want to play this out.

We also, Congressman, got some breaking news tonight I want to ask you about.

Tonight, a D.C.

Circuit Court ruled that basically Trump is not immune from ongoing civil litigation brought by former Capitol Police officers and others who were injured on January 6th.

This is a very significant development, and I just wonder what your reaction is to that news, and tell us what you know.

So, I'm going to follow up on that point, because I think it's important, then.

What happens next?

There is—you know, obviously, the Trump people are going to squirm and scream, as they normally do, and make all efforts towards appeals.

But this judge has really kind of opened the door to what you just said, to actual—an actual trial, depositions, etc.

So, what do you see happening next here?

All right.

Congressman Eric Swalwell, candidate for governor of the state of California.

Thank you.
