Welcome to the beat everyone. I'm Ari Malber. We begin with the continuing fallout over this legal

loss for Donald Trump. He had been fighting to try through the courts to slow down something that

you really can never stop, which is an independent criminal probe. This into the documents allegedly stolen

from the White House and brought to Mara Lago. Trump was rejected by the appeals court. This is a

big ruling because it is basically irreversible legally. 99% of cases never go onto the Supreme Court.

There's been no indication that Supreme Court would change what the appeals court is doing.

And what they're doing is telling Donald Trump, you're not above the law, you lose. And this case

is just going to barrel forward. Also, as I've mentioned to you, you may recall, Judge, I should say,

Attorney General Garland appointed this special counsel and he's going to run two probes, January 6th,

and this open Mara Lago probe. So now what the judges did here is really fortify and protect that Mara

Lago probe. There's not going to be any more review of the documents outside of whatever the DOJ does.

Now, if you're thinking, wow, this sounds like quite a rebuke to Donald Trump and you're wondering

how this works in our system. Well, when our system works, judges don't care what part of your

from or whether you're a former president or powerful or even whether they might be nominally linked

to you, for example, let's say you're a former president who appointed them. So take a look

tonight at the three judges who just dealt Trump this loss. All three happen to be Republican appointees.

Two of them are Trump appointees to the court. You're looking at the people who, regardless of

their professional history, told Donald Trump, no. And when you look at this case, several witnesses

have also faced the criminal grand jury, including three close Trump aides yesterday. Another

suggestion that the work is not done and that it is possible all this evidence could lead to

indictments, then you have the other issues I mentioned, January 6th. And while Democrats will

be handing over the Gabbling next month, they still are in charge of Congress and the subpoena power,
