| 0:00.0 | Hi, Barb, just remind us what happened in the classified documents case. What are they likely to ask Jack Smith about? |
| 0:07.7 | 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 Maralago in Florida, |
| 0:17.2 | hundreds of classified documents and other documents relating to the national defense, very sensitive |
| 0:22.7 | documents, documents about military capabilities of the United States and foreign allies, nuclear |
| 0:28.5 | capabilities, and he refused to return them when the National Archives asked. For many, |
| 0:35.3 | many months, they asked for the return of those documents. He returned |
| 0:38.7 | some, but not all. They used a grand jury subpoena after many months to get the documents back. |
| 0:44.2 | Trump's lawyer gave some, but not all. We know from the indictment that there's at least |

| 1:24.2 | Congress demanding that Jack Smith testify, but behind closed doors and not publicly. |
| 1:29.1 | 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, |
| 1:38.1 | Jack Smith, who was the special counsel who prosecuted him. |
| 1:42.4 | Question about that name. |
| 1:44.8 | And I know the name that you're asking about because a member of the media asked me about it. |
| 1:49.4 | I am familiar with it. |
