Welcome to the beat. I am Ari Melber. We're discussing and tracking several developments that are really going to put legal heat on Donald Trump.

I got special guests for this for you right now because there's a conviction on all counts against the entire Trump organ now.

Tonight reporting on new secret documents discussed in the open criminal case about Mar-a-Lago where Trump has faced one set back after another.

Here's what we know. Donald Trump lost that bid to slow this case down with a special master.

Now his team is finding new secret documents. If you're thinking, well, I heard about these secret documents already.

You did. Your mind's not playing tricks on you, but these are new additional ones and depending on the details, they could be criminal.

The reason these are coming out now is because of a judge's order that requires Trump to have his team scour for any other classified material that is on his properties or in his effective possession.

So at least two items with classified markings now found in a Trump storage unit, this one in Florida, and it was found by an outside team that Trump had to hire.

That material is now with the FBI.

So while Trump loudly and publicly complained about the DOJ search of his home, what you see here is the system working in a way.

Because behind the scenes, he's basically buckling as compared to defying and okaying these several searches by this independent team.

Another interesting thing here that goes into the details, but matters and could be bad news for Trump is these searches, they go beyond Mar-a-Lago, which was originally and dramatically searched by the Fed's ex-presidents don't usually get treated like that.

But ex-presidents haven't usually been caught with this many alleged stolen classified documents.

Now they're going beyond Mar-a-Lago to Trump tower we're learning and to his golf club in New Jersey.

Now the criminal probe here is led by the new special counsel Jack Smith.

That could provide more focus at the DOJ and everything I just told you is at the federal level.

Then you have the other big news, the New York DA, winning a conviction of the entire Trump organization on each and every charge, all 17 charges they pursued.

And these were serious things like criminal tax fraud, conspiracy, lying to the government.

Now this news broke late yesterday while much of the political world was of course focused on the big runoff in Georgia.

The fallouts continuing tonight, Trump's team is rattled by the legal steps that really pierce any sense of invincibility that Trump has been trying to cultivate in his many fights with many different investigators.

The victorious prosecutor, DA Alvin Bragg, made his first remarks about this win last night right here on the beat, saying the criminal conviction is more serious than Trump's civil problems and arguing the jury affirmed.

His case that this was all about Trump's team and company cheating, lying and being rife with greed.
