Welcome to the VD, I'm Ari Melber and boy do we have a special show for you tonight and I mean it.

I'll be explaining why coming up because we have a lot to get to but let's get right into today.

Jack Smith making a new pitch, pitch on behalf of the DOJ on why Donald Trump must be put on trial before the

election.

If that sounds like a familiar issue, just remember Jack Smith has more than one case against

defendant Trump.

So the defendant was actually down in federal court today

watching as DOJ prosecutors argued for a July beginning to a trial in the other Jack Smith

case. Earlier in the week we were discussing other Jack Smith case.

Earlier in the week we were discussing the big coup case

and the Supreme Court slowing that down.

This is the classified documents case.

You probably remember both.

And they are saying over at the DOJ that there is nothing in their

rules or precedence which prevents this trial on the documents from

occurring in weeks even days before the election.

And remember, it's Donald Trump as a defendant who has been delaying both cases.

On the flip side, I want to tell you, Donald Trump's team are saying,

well, they don't like the idea of this trial happening at all but they

offered August as a possible date we learned about that new development last night if

you haven't been watching the beat because it came through in a filing and that was a

change now today in court with Donald Trump's because it came through in a filing and that was a change.
