What a week for the twice-indicted Republican frontrunner. Jack Smith tears apart Trump's

request for a delay in the documents trial, as we also learn more about what the special

counsel is asking witnesses about January 6th. I sat down with Congressman Jamie Raskin for a deep

dive into all of the legal peril surrounding the former president.

And that's coming up first.

Plus football coach turned Senator Tommy Tuberville is single-handedly holding up hundreds of military promotions over his opposition to the Pentagon's abortion policy.

Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger joins me to discuss why it's jeopardizing our national security.

And later, PGA tour officials testify in a heated Senate hearing on the merger with Saudi-funded live golf.

Clearly, a new phase of sports washing has begun.

The question is, what comes next? If you can't beat it, delay it, that's pretty much thumbs up Donald Trump's legal strategy right now.

This week, the former president and his lawyers asked a federal judge to indefinitely postpone his trial over his mishandling of classified information.

In their filing, they have the gall to argue that, quote,

the case presents a serious challenge to both the fact and perception of our American democracy,

American democracy.

And they say that any trial during the presidential election will impact the outcome.

Now, all of this is pretty ironic, considering the defendant here is under investigation for

trying to literally overthrow a democratic election. But you don't have to be a lawyer to see

through their argument. If the trial is delayed until after the election and Trump wins,

he could try to use the presidency as a shield from justice, either by directing his own attorney general to dismiss his case or by trying to pardon himself.

And his team isn't even really hiding it.

The New York Times reported that some of Trump's advisors have privately said, quote, he is looking to win to winning the election as a solution to his legal problem, saying the quiet part out loud in meetings.

There we have it.
