We start this evening with this.

Get caught in a hot mess called a dawn bono law.

That is an ad for the legal services of the new Florida lawyer who is representing former President Trump's

alleged co-conspirator Walt Nauta in the Marilago documents case and just

from the layman's perspective here yes it sure seems like Mr Nauta is caught in a hot mess. Today in

Miami Mr. Nauta finally pleaded not guilty to the charges that he schemed

with Trump to hide classified documents at Trump's Florida Beach Club and

then attempted to cover it all up. For weeks now Mr Nauta has been delaying this

arraignment claiming that he has had trouble finding local Florida representation.

And today, well, we learned he has found that local representation.

Did Don Bonnalaw?

Now, we don't know for sure who's paying for for Mr Nauta's new local council, but the other lawyer,

the non-local council that Mr Nauta has had for a while, who, by the way, was also in court today

and entered Mr. Nauta's plea.

That lawyer is an attorney named Stanley Woodward.

And we know from public disclosures that Mr. Woodward's law firm is being paid by former President Trump's political action

committee Save America. That little tidbit matters because if the past is

prologue here then the lawyers and who pays for the

lawyers can make a world of a difference when it comes to actually getting at

the truth.

I was in the vicinity of a conversation where I overheard the president say something to the effect of.

You know, I don't effing care that they have weapons.
