Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America with huge breaking
0:05
news out of the Trump trial. It was chaos. Before we get started, please make sure you like, comment, share and subscribe

Judge Eileen Cannon heard arguments today from Team Trump and his co-defendants, particularly
0:25
Walt Nata's attorneys, about the reasons they should dismiss this case. The reasons are plentiful and they include misconduct when the raid was conducted against Mar-a-Lago
0:39
They include what they call unconstitutional actions of the Justice Department and of Special
0:46
Counsel Jack Smith's team. And of course, the mishandling of evidence that is well documented and admitted to by
0:54
Jack Smith's team. These are major, major reasons to dismiss the case
0:59
Jack Smith's team is arguing that this is all nonsense, they did everything by the book
1:05
and that everything is on the up and up. Of course, nobody with a real brain believes them, but that's beside the point
1:13
Of course they mishandled things. They were willing to use lethal force in a raid on Mar-a-Lago
1:19
Are you kidding me? Against a former President of the United States? Went so far as to tell the FBI agents to conceal their weapons and wear plain clothes
1:29
Almost provoking a firefight with the Secret Service? This is insanity. But I digress
1:37
They get to court today and they're hammering this out. And I think Judge Eileen Cannon is going to dismiss this case, ultimately
1:44
They're hammering this out and according to CNN, all hell broke loose in the courtroom
1:49
An absolute screaming match. They had to be separated. It was absolute craziness
1:55
CNN reported it as it happened. I want you to watch this video

Guys, let me know what you think in the comments when you like, comment, share and subscribe

But really, seriously watch this video first before you do that. It's underway in former President Donald Trump's classified documents case in Florida
2:11
The judge in that case, Trump-appointed Eileen Cannon, is hearing arguments as Trump's lawyers
2:17
try to get the case dismissed. It is now the second of two pre-trial hearings today
2:22
And our team that's inside the courtroom is telling us that at one point during the first
2:26
hearing things got pretty tense, devolving into a shouting match, prompting the judge
2:30
to tell one of the prosecutors to calm down. This hearing is happening, by the way, less than 24 hours after newly unsealed records
2:38
revealed new details about Trump's alleged attempts to hide documents at Mar-a-Lago
2:44
CNN's Caitlin Polansky is joining us now. And Caitlin, let's get to that new evidence in just a second because it is important
2:49
But first, explain how Trump's defense is trying to get the case dismissed and what
2:54
led to these moments in court that we were just describing. So what they're arguing in court today is two of the about a dozen or so different ways
3:04
that they believe Judge Eileen Cannon should dismiss the charges, some of the charges
3:09
the case, parts of the evidence. They're challenging all sorts of things. And Judge Cannon has to have hearings or she wants to have hearings on a lot of those things
3:17
The one that's at issue today that really appears to have gone wrong is the one that
