To dive deeper into the repercussions of Donald Trump's latest legal troubles and more,

we turn to the analysis tonight of Kapart and Abernathy. That's Jonathan Kapart,

associate editor for the Washington Post, and Gary Abernathy, also a Washington Post contributor, David Brooks is away.

It's good to see you both.

Hi, Jeff.

So Special Counsel Jack Smith leveled new charges against Donald Trump this past week, including an allegation that

Trump and others sought to delete security video of rooms in which boxes of classified documents

were kept.

Gary, how do these additional charges change or expand our understanding of this

case?

Well, you know what's interesting is when I talked to a lot of Trump supporters today or several

of them about this they were very disappointed to hear this I mean of all the things in

this documents case the cover-up is going to be the

worse I mean this is I've questioned whether a lot of these things are going

to be or should be pursued but if they get one of his people to turn on him and say, yeah, he told me to cover up this

or see if we could delete this footage, that's going to be very bad for him.

Now, his opponents, looking at this politically, need to actually

quit resorting to defending him if they want to make any headway against him and start saying,

look, this is a cover-up as your earlier guest said today on

the show this is evidence of doing something wrong now having said that it's an opportunity to to separate Trump from his supporters

but to do that Jonathan and Jeff the DOJ also needs to realize look we've got two parallel things going on here and we can't seem to have a double standard here

here you had a week where the president's son was in court trying to do a sweetheart deal plead to two misdemeanors and he thought be exempted or be immunized from any other crimes that he may have committed.
