And this is the breaking news. I was just mentioning with Nicole a major defeat, a legal blow, a two by four

against Donald Trump pursuant to a case that still has the possibility of felony charges. We're talking

about the special master review of the allegedly stolen documents, stolen allegedly by Donald Trump and his

team. Well, an appeals court, that's a high one, is now saying no dice, no special master, no special

level would be of the Supreme Court intervened to reverse this, which lawyers say while technically

possible is very unlikely. I want to bring in New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg.

Immediately as we tracked the breaking news, Michelle, I was mentioning to Nicole Wallace,

this is something that broke late in the day. I want to share with folks a little bit from the

opinion and get your response, because there's both the legal side to this. And of course, the wider

of national security laws, which are serious. This ruling here says the law is clear. We can't

write a rule that would allow the subject of a search warrant that's Trump to simply block

government investigations after a valid warrant is issued. There's more to it, but that's kind
