Summary

Trump's legal team files a new lawsuit to appoint a third-party attorney known as a "special master" to review the evidence gathered during the FBI’s search of his Mar-a-Lago home. The panel discusses this unusual move, why Trump’s attorneys took two weeks to make the request, and the message the former president tried to send Attorney General Merrick Garland three days after the search. Two Arkansas deputy sheriffs and one police officer are removed from duty after a video shows them punching and kneeing suspect Randal Worcester after pinning him to ground. The Governor of Arkansas, Asa Hutchinson joins to discuss the state police’s investigation into the incident. Plus, as a black couple sues after they say their home valuation rose nearly $300,000 when shown by a white colleague, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Marcia Fudge tells Laura about the battle against racism in real estate, and what the Democrats are doing to address appraisal bias and violations of the Fair Housing Law.
