| 0:00.0 | This is CBS High in the World. I'm John Batcha. |
| 0:08.5 | The former president of the United States Donald Trump, now in history to be the first |
| 0:13.8 | former president, indicted for a crime. That is in Manhattan. However, I learned from reading |
| 0:20.9 | the Washington Post carefully that there is another matter of far more weighty and complex |
| 0:27.7 | than the matter in Manhattan. And that is about the classified documents found at Mar-a-Lago |

| 1:39.4 | Richard, a very good evening to you. There was a special counsel at the Department of Justice, |
| 1:44.0 | Jack Smith, and he is conducting this inquiry, necessarily behind closed doors. It is a federal |
| 1:50.5 | investigation. I have read repeatedly by legal scholars that the Mar-a-Lago matter is far |
| 1:57.9 | more weighty than the matter in Manhattan. Do you agree with that and why so? Good evening |
