align:middle line:90% <v Resnick>I want to also talk about the criminal case in Georgia, 85 00:04:24.316 --> 00:04:27.860 align:middle line:90% where Trump has been accused of conspiring to overturn

with 90 00:04:35.784 --> 00:04:38.233 align:middle line:90% a lawyer who she hired to work on the case. 91 00:04:38.666 --> 00:04:39.798 align:middle line:90% Why is this important? 92 00:04:40.219 --> 00:04:44.473 align:middle line:90% And what could the consequences be, potentially, of her being removed? 93 00:04:45.184 --> 00:04:48.815 align:middle line:90% <v Stein>Yeah, this whole thing is messy is how I would put it. 94 00:04:49.043 --> 00:04:53.138 align:middle line:90% What the allegations are that she has had an improper relationship 95 00:04:53.298 --> 00:04:56.945 align:middle line:90% with this prosecutor who she hired to work on the case 96 00:04:57.349 --> 00:05:02.725 align:middle line:90% and that she financially benefited from it because he allegedly paid 97 00:05:02.785 --> 00:05:03.698 align:middle line:90% for her travels. 98 00:05:04.200 --> 00:05:08.652 align:middle line:90% Now, one of the defendants in the case, and a lot more, including Trump, 99 00:05:08.652 --> 00:05:13.615 align:middle line:90% have signed on as this has gained steam, have said the entire case should 100 00:05:13.615 --> 00:05:16.398 align:middle line:90% be dismissed because of this improper relationship. 101 00:05:16.846 --> 00:05:19.996 align:middle line:90% So what we're seeing today is Judge McAfee is going 102 00:05:19.996 --> 00:05:25.646 align:middle line:90% to hold an evidentiary hearing looking at, "okay, did it taint the case?" 103 00:05:25.694 --> 00:05:27.068 align:middle line:90% Obviously, Fani Willis has 104 00:05:27.548 --> 00:05:30.089 align:middle line:90% admitted that she did have a personal relationship 105 00:05:30.089 --> 00:05:34.636 align:middle line:90% with this prosecutor, Nathan Wade, but she said these allegations 106 00:05:34.636 --> 00:05:37.315 align:middle line:90% that it tainted the case are absolutely bogus, 107 00:05:37.696 --> 00:05:39.881 align:middle line:90% and she has not financially benefited from it. 108 00:05:40.334 --> 00:05:43.416 align:middle line:90% <v Resnick>Mm-hm. And I also want to talk about yet another case here. 109 00:05:43.788 --> 00:05:45.481 align:middle line:90% This is the civil one that's in New York. 110 00:05:45.581 --> 00:05:49.416 align:middle line:90% We're expecting a ruling there that could come as soon as Friday. 111 00:05:50.065 --> 00:05:53.003 align:middle line:90% What is the potential impact here for Trump and his businesses? 112 00:05:53.357 --> 00:05:55.498 align:middle line:90% <v Stein>The impact on this one is financial, right? 113 00:05:55.618 --> 00:05:58.743 align:middle line:90% The allegations from the New York attorney general is 114 00:05:58.743 --> 00:06:04.092 align:middle line:90% that Trump and his business associates inflated their real estate values 115 00:06:04.164 --> 00:06:06.505 align:middle line:90% to get some financial benefits out of that. 116 00:06:07.025 --> 00:06:11.208 align:middle line:90% We know that Letitia James wants hundreds of hundreds of millions of dollars 117 00:06:11.208 --> 00:06:16.475 align:middle line:90% in penalties, and it's up to this judge to decide how much will Trump need to pay. 118 00:06:16.938 --> 00:06:19.096 align:middle line:90% <v Resnick>Right. So those are some of the state cases, 119 00:06:19.096 --> 00:06:21.420 align:middle line:90% but let's talk about one of the federal ones here. 120 00:06:21.841 --> 00:06:27.078 align:middle line:90% This one is about the classified documents Trump allegedly kept at Mar-a-Lago. 121 00:06:27.515 --> 00:06:30.384 align:middle line:90% Walk us through some of the developments in that case from this week. 122 00:06:30.998 --> 00:06:33.111 align:middle line:90% <v Stein>Definitely. So what we're seeing in Florida, 123 00:06:33.111 --> 00:06:36.744 align:middle line:90% this is the classified document case where Trump is alleged 124 00:06:36.844 --> 00:06:42.704 align:middle line:90% to have retained documents related to national defense information and then 125 00:06:42.808 --> 00:06:46.795 align:middle line:90% thwarted and obstructed government officials attempts to retrieve them. 126 00:06:46.822 --> 00:06:47.996 align:middle line:90% So those are the allegations. 127 00:06:47.996 --> 00:06:50.098 align:middle line:90% Those are serious charges that he faces there. 128 00:06:50.653 --> 00:06:56.092 align:middle line:90% What we saw this week is Trump has said he wants more classified information 129 00:06:56.495 --> 00:07:00.841 align:middle line:90% as part of the discovery. So, the judge is hearing from both sides, 130 00:07:00.841 --> 00:07:04.021 align:middle line:90% and now it's up to the judge to see if Trump meets the burden of it's necessary 131 00:07:04.021 --> 00:07:07.590 align:middle line:90% of it's necessary and relevant for him to get this information. 132 00:07:07.930 --> 00:07:11.229 align:middle line:90% And if so, also what safeguards they put them on. 133 00:07:11.289 --> 00:07:13.550 align:middle line:90% Like, will there be redactions? Will there not be? 134 00:07:13.550 --> 00:07:16.937 align:middle line:90% And Trump actually showed up to this closed door hearing this week. 135 00:07:17.565 --> 00:07:22.621 align:middle line:90% <v Resnick>And so big picture here, what could Trump's calendar actually look 136 00:07:22.621 --> 00:07:26.008 align:middle line:90% like if you had to chart it out, going forward, once this week is done? 137 00:07:26.516 --> 00:07:30.595 align:middle line:90% <v Stein>I mean, once this week is done, we will have a perhaps better sense 138 00:07:30.595 --> 00:07:32.497 align:middle line:90% in some of the cases what it could look like. 139 00:07:32.557 --> 00:07:36.840 align:middle line:90% I mean, at least, you know, when his first trial would be, which, 140 00:07:36.840 --> 00:07:42.384 align:middle line:90% I think we'll have more answers at the end of the month, but perhaps not all 141 00:07:42.384 --> 00:07:43.133 align:middle line:90% of the answers. 142 00:07:43.723 --> 00:07:46.604 align:middle line:90% <v Resnick>Well, Perry, I'm really grateful for your time.
