| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the beat. I am Harry Melber and we are tracking new developments tonight, |
| 0:03.9 | including this suspicious claim by Trump's defense lawyer in the new coup case. |
| 0:09.6 | What he didn't do is, you know, send in the tanks. Send in the tanks. Yeah, |
| 0:14.8 | we're going to get to that news in a moment. But first I want to tell you as we mark the end of |
| 0:19.4 | this historic week in America tonight that brought defendant Donald Trump's third |
| 0:25.2 | arraignment this year. Just think about this as we start the hour. The New York case |
