We start tonight with some significant breaking news. The New York Times is confirming that Mark Meadows,

0:05.4

Donald Trump's former chief of staff, has testified to a federal grand jury as part of

0:10.8

special counsel Jack Smith's ongoing investigations into Trump's mishambling of classified information

0:16.8

and his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. This is a major development and we are going to talk

0:23.7

about it in just a minute with Representative Jamie Raskin, who served on the January 6th committee.

0:28.6

But we start with Mar-a-Lago. At this point you have probably seen a picture of Trump's Florida

report that quote, an employee at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence drained the resort's swimming pool

1:41.2

last October and ended up flooding a room where computer servers containing surveillance video logs

1:49.4

were kept. So, hmm. Now, whether the flooding of the IT room were, oh hey, the surveillance

1:59.2

video logs are kept, whether that was intentional or just a really unfortunate mistake, we do not know.

2:06.3

But we do know that the Department of Justice investigators are very suspicious of the timing here,

2:11.4

because the flooding took place right around the same time that prosecutors were issuing subpoenas
