Welcome to the beat.

I'm Arie Melber joining you live on this Monday to start the week and a holiday.

And we begin with Donald Trump hit with brand new restrictions in his criminal trial.

The criminal's offended there accused of his handling government secrets, allegedly

bragging about it.

Now under court order from blocking him from discussing trial evidence in public.

And this is a kind of a brushback.

It limits Donald Trump's ability, at least the way the rules are said, to respond to statements

that may also quite bother him.

There are new kind of nations, for example, coming from former Trump administration officials

themselves, shredding illegal and other denials and claims that Donald Trump has made.

I don't need to read the indictment or believe its allegations are true, although I'm pretty

confident they are.

It was very disturbing.

Based on his actions, again, have proven true under the indictment by the special counsel

know.

I mean, it's just irresponsible action that places our service members at risk, places

our nation's security risk, clearly it was unauthorized illegal and dangerous.

The fact of the matter is, he is a consummate narcissist and he constantly engages in reckless

conduct.

Those are just some of the brutal rebukes and experienced factual kind of takes from people

who actually work with Donald Trump.
