EVERYONE IS A HOOKER. >> NOW I FORGET. >>> GOOD MORNING. I'M JOE FRYER. >> I'M SAVANNAH SELLERS. WE BEGIN WITH THE BATTLE BETWEEN FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP'S LEGAL TEAM AND SPECIAL COUNSEL JACK SMITH. >> THE JUDGE OVERSEEING THE 2020 ELECTION INTERFERENCE HAS CALLED FOR A HEARING BEFORE THE END OF THE WEEK. AT ISSUE, THE PROPOSED PROTECTIVE ORDER. THE MOOSE AFTER A SERIES OF MOTIONS BY SPECIAL COUNSEL MUSKY OFFICE AND LAWYERS DEFENDING TRUMP. THE FORMER PRESIDENT'S LEGAL TEAM ASKED FOR A LESS RESTRICTIVE ALTERNATIVE TO THE PROTECTIVE ORDER ARGUING IT VIOLATES TRAUMA IN FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS. SPECIAL CONCERT ACCUSED TRUMP OF ATTEMPTING TO TRY THE CASE IN THE MEDIA. ONE FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTOR BELIEVES THAT SMITH'S REQUEST IS APPROPRIATE. >> WHAT THIS IS ABOUT IS THE GOVERNMENT IS TRYING TO PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF THE JUDICIAL PROCESS. >> YOU MIGHT REMEMBER THAT FEDERAL PROSECUTORS WARNED AFTER POLICE OF DETAILS FOR GRAND JURY TRANSCRIPTS COULD HAVE A CHILLING EFFECT ON WITNESSES AND THEY CITED THE FORMER PRESIDENT'S SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS AS A CAUSE OF CONCERN. TRUMP HAS PLEADED NOT GUILTY. WE HAVE TEAM COVERAGE OF THE LATEST IN THIS TUG-OF-WAR. JOINING US AS KEN DILANIAN AND LEGAL ANALYST DANNY CEVALLOS. TRAM MAI SKI TEAM AS THE JUDGE TO NARROW THE SCOPE OF THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUEST. WHAT ARE THE SPECIFIC CHANGES THEY ARE LOOKING FOR? >> THIS IS NOT REALLY ABOUT DONALD TRUMP'S ABILITY TO SPEAK ABOUT THE CASE. HE RETAINS THAT ABILITY. IT'S ABOUT WHAT HE AND THE TEAM DO WITH THE MASSIVE AMOUNT OF EVIDENCE THAT PROSECUTORS ARE PROPOSING TO TURN OVER AND WHAT'S KNOWN AS DISCOVERY. THAT INCLUDES IS TESTIMONY, RECORDS THEY HAVE BEEN SUBPOENAED THROUGH A GRAND JURY, ALL KINDS A VERY PERSONAL AND SENSITIVE INFORMATION. IN ALMOST EVERY CASE IN A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION, PROTECTIVE ORDER IS BLANKETED OVER THAT FORBIDDING EITHER SIDE FOR MAKING A PUBLIC. THAT IS STANDARD. IT'S NORMALLY NOT CHALLENGE. IN THIS CASE, TRUMP AND HIS LEGAL TEAM HAVE TRIED TO NARROW THE PROTECTIVE ORDER IN A WAY THAT WOULD LET THEM RELEASE A LOT OF INFORMATION INCLUDING ABOUT WITNESSES WHO TESTIFIED BEFORE THE GRAND JURY AND GAVE INTERVIEWS TO SPECIAL COUNSEL AND THAT WORRIES THE SPECIAL COUNSEL. SPECIAL COUNSEL ASSERTS IT WOULD ALLOW DONALD TRUMP TO TRY THE CASE IN THE MEDIA THE WAY THEY SAID HIS LAWYER ATTEMPTED TO DO OVER THE WEEKEND WHEN HE WENT ON ALL FIVE SUNDAY SHOWS. NOW, THE JUDGE DECIDED INSTEAD OF JUST RULING ON THE COMPETING, SHE WILL HAVE A HEARING ABOUT THIS. IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN WHAT SHE WILL DO. ONE THING THE TRUMP TEAM IS DONE IS SUCCESSFULLY -- BUT THEMSELVES A WEEK OF DELAY WHICH MAYBE THEIR STRATEGY IN THIS CASE. >> DANNY LET'S BRING YOU IN. HIS LEGAL TEAM ON THE SUNDAY SHOWS. THE JUDGE, PROSECUTORS HAVE BEEN TARGETS OF DONALD TRUMP HIMSELF ONLINE ON HIS PLATFORM TRUTH SOCIAL. WHILE THE POSTS ARE NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE ARGUMENTS OVER THE PROTECTIVE ORDER, HE IS OBVIOUSLY DISCUSSING PEOPLE IN CALLING THEM BY NAME. HOW LIKELY IS IT THAT THAT ISSUE WILL COME UP AT THE HEARING? I'M WHAT WE HAVE SEEN FROM THE FORMER PRESIDENT ONLINE? >> IT DEFINITELY WILL. THE POTENTIAL THEME OF THE GOVERNMENT'S ARGUMENT AND IT'S A FAIR ARGUMENT. LOOK, JUDGE, WE HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT DONALD TRUMP SPEAKING AND SAYING INAPPROPRIATE THINGS IN HERE IT IS AND IT'S ONLY BEEN 72 HOURS. THAT'S A STRONG ARGUMENT FOR THE GOVERNMENT. I HAVE TO CAUTION THE PROTECTIVE ORDERS ARE COMMON AND THEY ARE A GOOD THING. YOU DON'T WANT GRAND JURY MATERIAL OUT THERE, BUT AT THE SAME TIME CONSIDER THE DEFENSES HAVING TO MAKE THIS DECISION ON THESE DOCUMENTS BUT SHOULD AND SHOULD NOT BE DISCLOSED BEFORE THEY EVEN SEE THE DOCUMENTS. MORE THAN THAT, THIS IS A UNIQUE CASE BECAUSE SO MUCH OF THE MATERIAL IS ALREADY KNOWN. WHEN WE READ THE INDICTMENT, A LOT OF US WERE THINKING, I HEARD ALL OF THIS BEFORE FROM THE JANUARY 6 COMMITTEE AND DURING THE SECOND IMPEACHMENT. THE QUESTION BECOMES, JUST BECAUSE IT'S A DOCUMENT THAT THE GOVERNMENT TURNS OVER, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT TRUMP CANNOT REVEAL? EVEN IF HE ALREADY HAD IT AND CAME FROM THEM BETWEEN THEM, TEXT MESSAGE, IT'S A MUCH MORE TRICKY CASE BECAUSE SO MUCH OF THE MATERIAL HAS BEEN PUBLIC FOR LITERALLY YEARS. DOES IT SUDDENLY BECOMES SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE PROTECTED BY VIRTUE OF THE FACT THAT GOVERNMENT HEADED ON A FLASH DRIVE AND TURNED IT OVER TO THE DEFENDANT? IT'S TRICKIER THAN PEOPLE ARE MAKING IT OUT TO BE. EVERY FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTOR SEEMS TO DISAGREE. >> THE INVESTIGATION CONTINUES AND WE HAVE FORMER NYPD POLICE COMMISSIONER WHO MET WITH INVESTIGATORS YESTERDAY TALKING ABOUT RUDY GIULIANI'S ELIGIBLES AND EFFORTS TO OVERTURN THE ELECTION. HOW DOES HE FIT INTO THE CASE AND WOULD ALSO BE HEARD OF THE ONGOING INVESTIGATION INTO THE ANONYMOUS ARE SOMEWHAT ANONYMOUS, UNINDICTED CO CONSPIRATORS WHO WERE MENTIONED IN THE INDICTMENT? >> A QUICK NOTE ON DANNY'S POINT. THE PROPOSED PROTECTIVE ORDER DOES NOT FORBID DONALD TRUMP FROM MAKING PUBLIC THINGS THAT ARE IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN. ON KERIK, HE WAS THE CHIEF INVESTIGATOR FOR RUDY GIULIANI WHO WE BELIEVE IS UNINDICTED CO- CONSPIRATOR NUMBER 1 ON THE INDICTMENT. PROSECUTORS WANT TO TALK TO HIM ABOUT EVERYTHING HE WAS DOING TO EXPLORE WHAT WE KNOW ARE BOGUS ALLEGATIONS OF FRAUD IN THE 2020 ELECTION. WHAT HE TOLD GIULIANI AND WHAT GIULIANI WAS DOING AND HE TURNED OVER HUNDREDS OF DOCUMENTS TO THE PROSECUTION AND IT SHOWS THEY CONTINUE TO INVESTIGATE THE CASE AND POTENTIALLY THE ROOSEVELT UNINDICTED CO-CONSPIRATORS WHO REMAINED VERY MUCH AT RISK OF BEING CHARGED. >> DANNY, LET'S TURN TO THE MAR- A-LAGO DOCUMENTS CASE. TOTALLY DIFFERENT INVESTIGATIO . ACRE FILING YESTERDAY, THE JUDGE OVERSEEING THE CASE, JUDGE CANNON, ASKED THE DOJ BUT THERE'S A SECOND GRAND JURY IN D.C. THAT IS ALSO LOOKING INTO THIS DOCUMENTS CASE. IS THE FLORIDA ONE. HOW UNUSUAL IS IT TO HAVE A GO OUT OF STATE GRAND JURY CONTINUING TO INVESTIGATE AFTER INDICTMENTS HAVE HAPPENED? IT'S A FEDERAL INDICTMENT BUT WE ARE SEEING THAT ACTIVITY IN FLORIDA. >> IT'S UNUSUAL BECAUSE IT'S AN UNPRECEDENTED CASE AND THE LOGIC IS APPARENTLY BECAUSE THE OTHER LOCATION, WHERE SOME OF THE POSSIBLE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY OH KURT. THAT IS TRUE. ARGUABLY, THERE COULD BE ADDITIONAL CHARGES THAT ARE NOT DUPLICATIVE OF THE CHARGES IN MAR-A-LAGO, THE MAR-A-LAGO DOCUMENTS CASE. IT IS A FAIR QUESTION AS TO WHETHER THE INVESTIGATION WILL CONTINUE AND THERE WILL BE POSSIBLE CRIMINAL CHARGES. I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT WOULD WORK EXCEPT YOU CAN IMAGINE THERE MAY BE ACTIVITIES THAT HAPPENED IN D.C. THAT COULD BE CHARGED UNDER THE SAME STATUTE IS THE MAR-A-LAGO CASE BUT THE DEFENSE IN D.C. AND HE COULD BE THE GRAND JURY DISCOVERED WE DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT. IT'S FAIR INPUT. >> THANK YOU BOTH. >>> NOW TO THE LATEST ON THE SEVERE WEATHER THAT CONTINUES TO HAVE A GROUP ACROSS THE U.S. STORMS ARE EXPECTED IN PARTS OF THE SOUTHEAST. A LINE OF SEVERE STORMS MOVE THROUGH TENNESSEE HEAVY RAIN, LIGHTNING, DAMAGING WINDS. TREES AND POWER LINES WERE TOPPLED BY THOSE GUSTY WINDS. NO SERIOUS INJURIES WERE REPORTED.

THINGS ARE LOOKING MUCH BETTER THIS MORNING, BUT WE ARE STILL PLAYING CATCH-UP. >> WILL THINGS GET BETTER?
