What were the events leading to the classified documents case against Trump?

Stephen K. Bannon 0:00

Hey Barb, just remind us what happened in the classified documents case. What are they likely to ask Jack Smith about? Well, I don't know if they're going to ask Jack Smith about the case, but of course, this goes back to when Trump left office and brought with him to his home at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, hundreds of classified documents and other documents relating to the national defense, very sensitive documents, documents about military capabilities of the United States and foreign allies, nuclear capabilities. And he refused to return them. When the National Archives asked for many, many months, they asked for the return of those documents. He returned some, but not all. They used a grand jury subpoena after many months to get the documents back.

Trump's lawyer gave some, but not all.

How did the investigation into Trump's classified documents unfold?

Stephen K. Bannon 0:47

We know from the indictment that there's at least allegations that boxes were moved in an effort to conceal them. And finally, in August of 2022, there was a search warrant executed at Mar-a-Lago. And hundreds of these classified documents were found there in a ballroom, in a bathroom, and in Trump's private office. Now, one would hope that at the conclusion of a special counsel's investigation, we would get both their report and live testimony public so that the American people could learn about what had happened in this case. Instead, the report has not been produced ever. It has been blocked by Judge Eileen Cannon in Florida. And we now have Congress demanding that Jack Smith testify, but behind closed doors and not publicly.

What challenges has the special counsel faced in this investigation?

Stephen K. Bannon 1:29

And so you can't help but feel that this isn't some sort of setup for a president who is hot to find a way to charge criminally Jack Smith, who was the special counsel who prosecuted him.

Unknown 1:42

Question about that name. And I know the name that you're asking about because a member of the media asked me about it. I am familiar with it. I wasn't familiar with it when the media member asked me about it. I think it was either CBS or NBC. I asked my team about it.

Why are there concerns about transparency in the investigation process?

Unknown 2:01

And I think this is an area where caution is really necessary. There are lots of reasons why a page might be taken down. particularly if there's chatter out there about, to your question, Amanda, about words that were spoken. It's easy to jump from someone saying words that were spoken to what those words are to a particular name that reflects a motive targeting a particular person. That's a really dangerous road to go down. Really dangerous. If that name meant anything to this investigation, we would be out looking for that person. We will let you know we were looking for that person. You know, again, I think it's just a really dangerous road to go down. I know that in today's age, there are lots of things that people read into things.

Unknown 2:48

It's just a dangerous thing to do. And I would leave it to us to identify persons of interest and let us run them down. What the public can do for us today is help us figure out who this guy is. And we hope to have more information out that will help you do that, help you help us do that. And I would leave it to us to identify persons of interest and let us run them down. What the public can do for us today is help us figure out who this guy is.

Okay, so we still don't know what this guy yelled. We're hearing multiple reports about him yelling something. Why can't we hear from any of these eyewitnesses? I've only heard one eyewitness say the guy had a long gun. And so he also said he looked the shooter directly in the eye, and then the shooter didn't kill him. Why didn't the shooter shoot the guy if this is a random attack? He's just spraying bullets around. Why didn't he shoot the guy he came eye to eye with? That's weird. We're also hearing interesting reports that the vice president of the Brown Republicans might have been shot multiple times. We still don't understand if this was a targeted shooting, and they're not giving us any clue about that.

We also need to know, do you need to swipe a card before you get into this building?
