0:00.0	Welcome to the beat, everyone. I'm Ari Melbert. And here's what we're doing tonight.
0:03.5	We have a report on some of the key evidence that can actually inform whether there are charges in the Trump probe by special counsel Smith.
0:10.7	That's amidst new reports crossing the wire late today in the New York Times about his aggressive approach to all probes, including this one.
