rraignment in Miami for the other man accused in the classified documents case is being rescheduled. He is due back in court, July 6th, a lawyer for Trump aide won't notice said that his client, he's had difficulty finding a Florida-based attorney flight from New Jersey was also canceled. Prosecutors say that now to help move boxes around containing classified documents at mar-a-lago and then lied about it to the FBI. Joining me now live is Paul Pelletier is a former Department of Justice Attorn
ey. Paul, thanks so much for your time today. >> Good morning. Good afternoon. I should it is the afternoon. >> Well, you know, if you are on the West Coast, then you are forgiven. It will actually it would be 12 be the afternoon. Nevertheless fall. It's going start with this documents case out of Miami right now with Walton who was a former Trump aide. He was scheduled to appear in court. It's now been postponed in. This is the second time that it's being postponed. Tell us more about what's at
stake here for now. Is facing as much potential trouble as the former president. >> Well, he's facing as much trouble the charges against him and his actions revolve around instruction. Ultimately if he's convicted, he would go to jail. That would be a a jail sentence imposed based upon the seriousness of the crime. So he's he's facing some severe trouble and possibly lengthy time in jail. And that's exactly what the prosecutors wanted to do here because what they've done is charged a co-conspi
rator, someone at a lower level than former President Trump and they get the angle. Is they who would love him to flip on Trump right now it looks like with the rain being postponed. He's having trouble getting longer. Not sure what the reasons that is, he definitely is in a box that that the prosecutor wants and they're going to try and force him to cooperate against former President Trump. That's what looks like is going on. >> Yeah, I mean, he was. Trump's long-time valet for for years. Happy
think this is going to play out. Paul, what outcomes do see for nurse? >> Well, again, remember, there only really 3 outcomes. The first that he's acquitted at trial. The second is that he's convicted at trial. 3rd is that he please you with with the government in their case against and seems to be a likely outcome if he believes he's going to be convicted and go to jail. And the reason why that's a fairly likely up. Come is because it's a lot of cooperate allows the judge to reduce his sentenc
e based upon his cooperation. So if he feels like that is an insurance of a conviction and then usher in some jail based upon the strength in the quality of the government's evidence was just wrong. Then the likelihood likelihood of incorporating is much greater. And that's that's the game the prosecutors playing here. >> I want to move on to some of the evidence now. How could this? >> Newly obtained newly aired audio recording in which >> The former president is discussing a classified documen
t on Iran that he was holding on to. >> Impact the case. >> Well, we saw from the original indictment that was a transcript of that. So the prosecutors had and the obviously played before the grand jury. The difference now is we've heard it and now that we've heard it to shows to us or anyone who's heard that the president hasn't been telling the truth about that event Magellan. The before Brett there on Fox News and he has been telling that to American public about what what that was. What we a
lso know you have to consider is one of a jury gets to hear someone in their own words, in essence, confessed to the crime. And when sure is, can be the prosecutors will call eyewitnesses to that event. People who were at that missed that minister who will say those were classified. See top secret documents that he was showing us. And then you hear own words he could unclassified them because he wasn't president anymore. That's about as damning evidence as you can get your prosecutor and now tha
t we can short it is such a good take. Puts you in the room with them and it is frightening to former president treating this top secret information so cavalierly. So I think it's it's very incriminating. And I think it's very Paul. >> So are you saying that this will be the smoking gun in the case? >> It is one of the smoking I'm sure that the prosecutor Jack Smith has kept over things and we don't we don't know. All the witnesses are going to say. And the reality is there are going to be a lot
of eyewitnesses to the events that are set forth in the indictment and that eyewitness testimony along with smoking gun is going to be critical to a setting for the scenario of which president cavalierly treated confidential and top-secret information and literally laughed about it and said, boy, this is cool. Things like that. That is that is extraordinarily compelling in minutes. >> So, it's going to be really critical here. Paul, as is jury selection and this case, I want to ask you more abo
ut jury selection, how that could impact this. And also this idea about his attorneys moving to see anonymous jury. What does that mean? Exactly? >> On this tour is a jury. >> In which the trash. So the public doesn't have the information as to cool the makeup of the jury is, in other words, they don't know who they are and what their occupations are and they don't know where they live. And the reason why defense attorneys sometimes ask for that is so that they can be influenced by either the pr
ess or other things. They don't want people bothering them. And as as we all know, the Magna has a tendency to try do you if you will, what the evidence is against of former President Trump. So not a missing. The jury keep the public and anybody from sort of contacting finding out these people. That's number Number jury selection. You know, as a former federal prosecutor, it was very very clear, particularly white collar cases or financial crime cases the makeup of the jury was essential to maki
ng sure that you could that both the defendant and the government could get a fair trial depending where the trial is held, it could be held in storage where the judge sits West Palm Beach where the case was effectively indicted. The West Palm Beach jury will be I would say more likely to be against President Trump. More likely to be Democratic. In the cases in Stuart more likely to be Republican and we're going what comes next in all of this. We're running out of time. We've got to get to a bre

Audio was recorded back in 2021. At Trump's golf Club in New Jersey. It was mentioned in the federal charges against the former president. So despite his legal challenges, former President Trump is holding 2 campaign events today. Those events happening as Florida Governor Ron Desantis also campaigns in New
Hampshire. Congressional correspondent Nate Reid has the details. >> Well, despite Democrats changing up the order of their presidential nominating primary, Republicans have left the order as is in previous years with New Hampshire being the first state with a presidential primary. Now it's up to former President Trump and Governor Ron Desantis to make their case to voters across the Granite State from President Trump speaking, of course, this afternoon at an event with women, Republican women
in New Hampshire, Ron Desantis hosting his own event making the case for voters to elect him as their Republican nominee. He also made the case that he has been able to capture much of the Republican electorate Florida and one his most recent gubernatorial race in a landslide. >> Every member before I got on the scene, Florida was a one point state. It was a swing state. You know, I think although elections, including my first were decided by one point or last governor presidential, of course, i
n 22, we did something about that. We won by almost 20 and so people don't talk about it being a swing, say more. But, you know. >> But Florida Governor Ron Desantis has some ground to make up in the Granite State. 13% of likely Republican primary voters saying that they'd support him with 47% of those likely Republican primary voters saying they still support former President Donald Trump. As you can see everyone else there across the field in New Hampshire, still in the single digits with Chri
s Christie up to 9%. But it's going to be up to Ron Desantis to be able to make up some of that gap with former President Trump and get additional Republicans on his side in the Granite State. That could potentially set the tone for his candidate. See as it continues across the other early presidential nominating states. Now former President Trump used his event in New Hampshire earlier today. He spent part of it attacking Florida Governor Ron Desantis. He was clear that the reason for those att
acks, the governor's place in current polls. 57%. President Trump. Sanctimonious at 19% that he's setting. >> Question is when will he go to 3rd place? Somebody said how come only attack and it because he's in second place? Well, why don't you attack of this? Because they've got a second place, but soon I don't think he'll be in second Be attacking somebody else. >> In his speech for President Trump referencing last week's morning Consul poll showing him with a commanding lead among Republican p

As you can see there, though, everyone else, Mike Pence, Ramaswamy a Tim Scott and Chris Christie.

He wants to get that message out to Republican voters w
ho want to coalesce as much support as possible in order to become the Republican nominee in 2024, there are still several more months to go before we even start talking about voters turning out to the polls in New Hampshire, it's going to have to Ron Desantis this summer to make his case to those early presidential primary voters in order to coalesce his support. Nathaniel Reed, Scripps News, Washington. >> And this week is shaping up to be a major week in Washington as we await several rulings
from the sun court today, the high court cleared up some election confusion between state legislatures and state courts. Deputy political director Joe Saint George explains. >> Well, it's that time of year when the Supreme Court issues its most consequential and typically sometimes the most controversial opinions of the term, the Supreme Court could have created chaos when it comes to political redistricting or with the results of the 2024 election in the end with their opinion and more of the
Harper, the Supreme Court kept the status quo specifically. We're talking about the independent state Legislature theory. And if you drew out of the had a party, you might not know what it is. But the Supreme Court had been looking into it for months. It's a theory the state legislature's cannot be overruled by state courts or state judges that they can draw maps as they choose report. Election results as they choose. But the Supreme Court really ended any debate on that theory today. Chief Just
ice John Roberts writing the majority opinion of the court. We're still waiting on the biggest cases of the term. However, 2 cases on President Biden's student loan forgiveness plan need to be issued in ruled 2 cases on affirmative action need to be ruled on as well. Remember, President Biden wants to forgive $10,000 worth of debt for millions of Americans who meet income requirements. $20,000 worth of debt could be forgiven if Americans meet those requirements and had a Pell Grant while in coll
ege, many conservatives around the country would like the Supreme Court to block that policy proposal believing it's fundamentally unfair to some Americans who may not have student loan debt. Other conservatives believe President Biden simply doesn't have the power. The other big case involves affirmative action. Remember, this is the question of whether or not race should be asked in the college admission process. It's something that's already banned in 9 states around the country. The Supreme
Court could ban it nationwide. Many universities have said they need that question in order to keep their communities diverse and inclusive. Meanwhile, some conservatives have argued for years that that question is unfair to applicants going to college Joe, Saint George Scripps News, Washington. >> And speaking of student loan debt in about 3 months from now, those payments will resume as we await a Supreme Court ruling on President Biden's plan, the Department of Education saying that payments
will resume in October. But the interest on the balance is will resume in September. So financial experts are saying if you are a borrower than you want to figure out your potential debt right now, check with your loan company and switched payment plans to one that works better for you. And review your expenses to see what you can cut right now to make room for loan repayments. >> It's a real that and you signed up for it. You're responsible for it. You have to have a plan to pay that back. And
if by some Hail Mary you know, there are cold this. And you getting getting through and we end up, you know, having it for given. Well, that's a bonus, but I wouldn't plan on that. >> Now financial advisors are saying if you wait, then you're going to battling millions of others. Borrowers also waiting until the very last minute. So many recent college grads out there probably trying to figure out what to do and where to go next. Consumer financial services company Bank-rate has compiled a list
of the best cities to start a careers. And it shows some interesting trends, cities that were once hot spots for young people like Los Angeles or maybe New York are no longer near the top of the list. Instead, some recent grads are heading south. Earlier I spoke with Alex Kaylee from Bankrate about the top 10 best cities to start your careers and why places like Austin, Raleigh and Nashville are all topping that list. >> You are saying recent college grads should be heading south, but it used to
be that college grads are always urge to go to the coast, right? There are more jobs in New York or L a O. Why are why are these cities not ranking as high anymore? >> Absolutely. Cities that have traditionally been popular post graduate destinations are just destinations for young workers such as New York, D C L a really not the most market friendly or livable actions because of the high cost of living. And on top of that, we've been battling with record-high inflation last year's. So so inste
ad we've seen cities like Austin, Texas, Salt Lake City, they have become tech and they are attracting a lot of young talent. Have typing salaries and they are ultimately more affordable. At the same time, they have vibrant cultures and a lot of outdoor activities that appeal to young professionals and the post-pandemic era. >> So finding a place to live here is really just half the battle to starting your courier. >> Finding a job is the 2nd half you know, actually, I should argue that is proba
bly the 1st by the Jobbers. >> Is a good time for college grads, looking for the first step in their careers. What are you seeing right now in the labor market? >> So despite high interest rates and talk of a recession and even inflation still being it is a great time to get a job right now. The job market overall is still really tight and it's broadly viewed as strong. We saw a little bit of a cool down in May. But historically speaking, the unemployment rate is still at multi-decade lows the n
ation's employers really stepped up their hiring in May. They added more than 300,000 jobs. Well, above expectations and evidence the strength of the economy. >> All right. So you're saying that they added 300,000 jobs, but what about wages? Would you wages look like right now for recent college grads? >> So we do know wage growth has been elevated. We see that wages are high and that's why it's been so hard to get inflation down And we do know you know, wages are still again high. So we're goin
g to see those young workers still getting being able to have the negotiating power and ask for those higher wages at this time because employers still hiring and they need talent. >> You know something, I've I've witness myself with the younger workers is they do have a tendency to to jump from job to job. How often are you finding that? That's the case? And how often are you finding that people want to relocate for work? >> Now we are seeing that young professionals a lot of negotiating power
right now and employers need them more than they the employer at the end of the day, at least right now on the market. We're in so, you know, workers are job popping air hopping jobs a lot right now ultimately and yeah, do see that they have that negotiating power. >> That was Alex Kaylee. They're now the bank rate study also revealed 37% of Gen X'ers and 34% of millennials are willing to relocate for their careers. And that is compared to 17% of Gen Xers and just 8% of baby boomers.
