Hey ladies and gentlemen this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and after all months of
0:05
really rough news from the courts Trump's starting to get some great news from the courts
0:10
Before we get started please make sure you like, comment, share and subscribe. Those little things
0:16
really help us out and they help our channel continue to grow and if you want Trump back in
0:20
the White House smash that join button and become a member of this channel. Right now Judge Eileen
0:27
Cannon is hearing arguments about dismissing this classified documents case against former
0:34
President Donald Trump that was brought by special counsel Jack Smith. Jack Smith's been up in arms
0:39
furious about this fighting with Eileen Cannon. The judge had to actually reprimand this dude
0:45
and it's just been absolutely horrible for him. But will she dismiss the case? I don't know. I
0:52
don't know if she's willing to go that far. I would. I think it should be dismissed. I think
0:57
there's precedent that other people have done the same exact thing that Trump did and did not get
1:01
prosecuted. Selective prosecution is absolutely a reason for dismissing a case. Political targeting
1:10
of somebody is reason for dismissing a case. There's a lot of reasons to dismiss this case but
1:15
among them perhaps the most compelling is that the federal government who's prosecuting former
1:21
President Donald Trump for mishandling classified documents mishandled the classified documents they
1:27
took from Mar-a-Lago. They are prosecuting him for the crime that they committed when they started
1:33
prosecuting him for. You can't create this in a Hollywood script. They did the thing they're
1:40
prosecuting him for. If that's not reason to kick this case, this ridiculous case, out of the courts
1:47
I don't know what is. I want you to watch this report on it and let me know what you think in
1:51
the comments. Should the case be dismissed? Let me know. The fight to toss the classified documents
1:57
case against him is back underway. There's a federal court hearing in Florida that is scheduled
2:02
to start now before Judge Eileen Cannon and in a late night court filing the Justice Department
2:07
submitted these new images of how quote haphazard some records were found at Mar-a-Lago to undercut
2:15
an argument by Trump's attorneys to throw out the case. Yeah not a great look but his attorneys
2:19
contend that because prosecutors have not maintained the order of all documents inside their
2:24
individual boxes it hampers Trump's ability to build a defense. Let's bring in CNN's Paula Reid
2:31
So Paula what more did you learn from this filing? Their most recent attempt to have this case
2:38
thrown out focuses on how these boxes were handled after they were taken out of Mar-a-Lago
2:42
The defense attorneys are arguing that because some things were moved in these boxes
2:46
that could undermine their ability to defend their client at an eventual trial. They won't
2:50
be able to argue well this document was right behind this news article clearly it was inadvertent
2:55
but the government punching back saying look it was your client's decision to store sensitive
3:00
materials in cardboard boxes along with quote Christmas ornaments and clothing and they said
3:05
quote the integrity of each container in which the evidence was found that is box to box integrity has
3:11
been maintained nothing has been lost much less destroyed and there's been no bad faith and they
3:16
also shared these previously unseen photos that remind people also the fact that when some of
3:21
these boxes were discovered documents were just strewn about the floor so they've tried to dismiss
3:26
this as quote Trump's latest unfounded accusation against law enforcement professionals doing their
3:32
job. And today is the third day of hearings in this case so many hearings in this case by the way
3:39
yesterday were there were some apparent tensions in court there was a prosecutor who actually
3:43
apologized to Judge Cannon for his tone. Well that's good that's progress because I've been
3:47
down there in this court and it's not just because it's hot outside
