Good to be back. Welcome to the beat. I'm happy to be back with all of you.

And tonight we are tracking the new evidence that's putting heat on Donald Trump and raising

questions about a possible second indictment of the former president. There he was at his

first indictment, his New York arrangement. But now there's news of this damning tape

that's put more focus on a different jurisdiction on that federal probe in Washington, where Trump

was caught on tape admitting key parts of a possible crime in stealing and hiding classified

documents after leaving office. The tape is from after he was in the White House 2021.

And that's bad for him based on what he appears to admit, because prosecutors are already

using it while gathering their grand jury testimony and it's showing jurors how Trump

himself admits and acknowledges on the tape that he had classified materials. This is

a total breakthrough in the evidence in this case. Now, real talk, some people might say,

okay, all right, didn't we already know that Trump took those documents down to Mar-a-Lago

and the feds seized them in that search and took them back, didn't we know all that? Yes.

But in court, to win a case like this, prosecutors basically must prove one, the documents were

classified. Two, Trump willfully took or directed action to take the documents. And three, he

intended to keep or use classified documents. So just to walk through this, one is proven,

that's why the feds took them back. And no court, by the way, has overruled that. Two,

it's basically proven as well, Trump himself admitting he took all these documents, he hasn't

exactly denied that part of the case. So three was kind of the last hurdle. You have to prove

Trump's knowing culpability about the classified documents that, hey, yeah, I got, yeah, I got

this and it's classified. That kind of thing. So just to be as straightforward as possible,

when you see Donald Trump, admit something like this on tape, acknowledging on the tape,
