| 0:00.0 | We start tonight with breaking news out of the New York Times. Special counsel Jack Smith |
| 0:04.1 | has interviewed Donald Trump's son-in-law and former top White House aide Jared Kushner. |
| 0:09.8 | The Times reports that in an interview last month, the special counsel focused on whether Trump |
| 0:14.0 | had privately acknowledged that he had lost the 2020 election. In other words, when Trump claimed |
| 0:20.2 | the election was rigged, did he know he was lying? Did Trump have corrupt intent when he allegedly |
| 0:26.8 | tried to subvert the election? Also, today, Jack Smith's senior assistant special counsel, |
| 0:33.0 | a lawyer named Tom Windom, was spotted leaving the DC federal courthouse for the second time this |
| 0:38.8 | week. Mr. Windom is one of the top prosecutors working on special counsel Smith's January 6th |
| 0:44.6 | probe. That was a role he played even before Jack Smith was appointed special counsel. |
| 0:49.1 | And this afternoon, Mr. Windom was back in court indicating that the grand jury is meeting. |

| 1:19.5 | whether or not Willis should indict Trump for his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election |
| 1:24.8 | in her state. And the first of those grand juries began hearing cases two day. |
| 1:30.9 | Now, federal prosecutors do not exactly love when parallel local investigations outpaced their |
| 1:37.5 | own. They want their evidence and their theory of the case to be the first version that the public |
| 1:43.3 | hears. So, DA Willis poses a problem for special counsel Smith. DA Willis has signaled that she anticipates |
| 1:51.1 | announcing an indictment potentially as early as July 31st. That gives special counsel Smith 11 |
| 1:57.6 | business days to make his own announcement assuming he wants to make it first. And that is not |
| 2:03.2 | the only calendar that Jack Smith has to worry about. There has been endless speculation about what |
