If it's Tuesday, former President Trump going on offense on the trail while on defense in the courtroom,

holding a campaign rally this afternoon and once again railing at the Department of Justice and the charges against him.

And voters are voting right now in Ohio in a special election that could have a major impact on the fight over abortion rights,

and will tell us a lot about what's motivating voters ahead of November.

Plus, monumental task. President Biden heads out west to sell his legislative successes to a still skeptical public

and aims to make a grand statement at the Grand Canyon this hour.

Welcome to Meet the Press Now. I'm Garrett Hake and for Kristen Welker on a day in which Donald Trump's political aspirations and legal perils are both front and center.

Today, the former president and current GOP frontrunner was back on the campaign trail in New Hampshire at an event for veterans,

touting his past record as president, criticizing the Biden administration, and continuing to attack the Department

But these incredible numbers are the primary reason that Crooked Joe Biden has weaponized

law enforcement. He has weaponized. He's done something that nobody thought they talked about

it, but nobody

put me on trial during an election campaign that I'm winning by a lot, but forcing me,

nevertheless, to spend time and money away from the campaign trail in order to fight bogus,

made up accusations in charges. That's what they're doing. I'm sorry, I won't be able to go to

Iowa today. I won't be able to go to New Hampshire today because I'm sitting in a courtroom on

bull-h-hump. Trump also insisted that he will talk about the election interference case, even as his lawyers and federal prosecutors continue to clash over a protective order over exactly what he can share and say publicly about the case.

Trump's attorneys are seeking a more narrow limit and arguing that the Justice Department's proposal would violate Trump's First Amendment rights.

The changes proposed by Trump's legal team would include allowing the former president to disclose publicly

recordings and transcripts of testimony from witnesses in the case.
