National security lawyer thinks Trump is too scared to have cameras show his trial

National security lawyer Bradly Moss doesn't think that former President Donald Trump wants any of his federal trial to be public. Typically there are no cameras in federal courts, and to get them would take a willingness from both sides to petition the Supreme Court.

MSNBC host Yasmin Vossoughian said that there is a lot of distrust in the justice system. Already, Republicans are demanding the firing of FBI Director Christopher Wray, a Trump appointee, and Attorney General Merrick Garland. At the same time, the U.S. Supreme Court is at its lowest approval rating in history, in part, due to a lack of transparency. The Supreme Court has fought cameras in courts from the beginning.

'Trump looks like an idiot' for blowing chances to avoid indictment: Morning Joe panel

Panelists on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" mocked Donald Trump for forcing prosecutors to charge him in the Mar-a-Lago documents case.

The former president was given the chance to return the classified materials he took from the White House and avoid criminal charges, but instead he held onto those documents and tried to hide them from authorities -- and he was finally indicted last week after a months-long investigation.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough pointed out that Donald Trump's inner circle had turned on him and was mocking his bizarre and possibly criminal behavior in conversations with investigators and reporters.

'If that’s his defense — he’s in trouble': Analyst tears apart the Trump camp's latest argument

A Washington Post report Wednesday night included a statement from former President Donald Trump's spokesperson, arguing that paints a unique picture of the Presidential Records Act.

"President Trump has consistently been in full compliance with the Presidential Records Act, which is the only law that applies to Presidents and their records," campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said. "In the course of negotiations over the return of the documents, President Trump told the lead DOJ official, ‘anything you need from us, just let us know.’ Sadly, the weaponized DOJ rejected this offer of cooperation and conducted an unnecessary and unconstitutional raid on the President’s home in order to inflict maximum political damage on the leading presidential candidate."
