Legal experts flagged a newly declassified memo that the White House called deep-state proof, even though it was about Trump's FBI.

During an interview on "All Rise News," legal journalists Adam Klasfeld and Allison Gill dissected the declassified FBI memo that the White House touted as proof of a "deep state" plot against President Donald Trump, even though it actually revealed that the FBI investigated him during his first term as a possible Russian asset.

The top Manhattan prosecutor in Trump's Department of Justice is alarming legal experts with his behavior.

Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) traveled to El Salvador to meet with Abrego Garcia and advocate for his release.
