00:00:00.000 I'm Lou Dobbs with this Great America Show news update. President Trump indicted. The indictment
00:00:05.860 comes after a seven-month wildly hyper-partisan investigation by Jack Smith and his special
00:00:11.520 counsel secret staff, none identified publicly. President Trump expected to appear in a Miami
00:00:18.200 courtroom Tuesday afternoon for the arraignment. The New York Times reporting there are seven
00:00:23.760 charges including willfully retaining national defense secrets in violation of the Espionage
00:00:29.520 Act conspiracy to obstruct justice and making false statements. All of the charges highly inflated
00:00:35.880 and frankly hyperbolically charged. The Marxist Dems and the Biden regime for the first time in
00:00:42.400 American history have indicted a former president and political opponent of the president. The
00:00:48.440 charges seem to me to be rendered in the most malicious, outrageous and venal tone under color 0.79
00:00:54.240 of public office. Its prosecutorial misconduct in my opinion of the worst kind never before
00:01:00.780 witnessed in this country. President Trump released the following statement after learning about the
00:01:06.280 indictment. Our country is going to hell and they come after Donald Trump weaponizing the Justice
00:01:15.300 Department weaponizing the FBI. We can't let this continue to go on because it's ripping our country to
00:01:22.900 shreds. We have such big problems and this shouldn't be one of them. It's a hoax. The whole thing is a hoax. 1.00
00:01:30.300 Just like Russia, Russia, Russia, just like the fake dossier was a hoax. You saw the Durham report. You saw the
00:01:38.460 Mueller report. It was all a big hoax. You had two impeachments and they lost and we won and we had
00:01:46.400 tremendous support. But that was a hoax and a scam. And now they're doing it again. It's just a
00:01:52.180 continuation. Seven years, even after I'm out. But it's called election interference. They're trying to
00:01:59.700 destroy a reputation so they can win an election. That's just as bad as doing any of the other things
00:02:06.320 have been done over the last number of years and especially during the 2020 election. So I just
00:02:12.680 want to tell you, I'm an innocent man. I did nothing wrong. And we'll fight this out just like we've been
00:02:18.060 fighting for seven years. It would be wonderful if we could devote our full time to making America great
00:02:24.000 again. And that's exactly what we did. But now, again, our country is in decline. We're a failing
00:02:31.740 nation. And this is what they do. I'm an innocent man. We will prove that again. Seven years of proving
00:02:39.600 it. And here we go again. Very unfair. But that's the way it is. President Trump, not the only one
00:02:46.660 indicted in the document hoax. Just moments ago, the DOJ announced they're indicting Mar-a-Lago valet and
00:02:53.460 former White House aide, Walt Nauta. Last November, DOJ counterintel chief Jay Bratt summoned Nauta's
00:03:01.420 attorney, Stanley Woodward, for a meeting at DOJ headquarters regarding an urgent matter that he
00:03:07.840 was reluctant to discuss over the phone. The Guardian newspaper reports that after that meeting, the DOJ
00:03:14.340 attorney mentioned an application by the Trump employee's lawyer to be a Superior Court judge in
00:03:20.780 Washington, D.C. It seemed to some the DOJ was making some sort of offer to Nauta's lawyer to make a
00:03:29.220 deal for him to flip on Trump in trade for that judgeship. This, however, not the only instance of
00:03:36.380 what could be prosecutorial misconduct. Former Trump attorney Tim Parlatori warning us two months ago on
00:03:43.460 this broadcast on The Great America Show about what the prosecutors were likely up to. Here is part of
00:03:51.420 my discussion with Tim Parlatori. They would consistently be asking me about my conversations
00:03:57.160 with the president. And of course, I would continuously tell them that I couldn't do that.
00:04:01.680 And at one point, she actually asked me, well, you know, there are exceptions to privilege, right?
00:04:06.440 Yeah. And in fact, the client can waive the privilege. I said, yes. And she says, and if the
00:04:12.280 president's being so cooperative, why hasn't he allowed you to share his conversations with the grand jury
00:04:17.260 today? Now, had that question been asked in a trial, jury trial, the judge would have flown down
00:04:27.400 from the bench and immediately, you know, immediately declared a mistrial. And yet here, nothing.
00:04:37.120 Instead, I just looked at her and I said, are you really doing this? And she said, yes.
00:04:43.140 And so I had to turn to the jury to explain to them how completely and totally improper and
00:04:50.280 unconstitutional that question is. There are constitutional rights, which we have to respect.
00:04:56.760 And if somebody is invoking one of those constitutional rights, that is not something
00:05:00.520 that anyone in the criminal justice system can use against them. And the fact that the president has not
00:05:07.360 waived his privilege to allow me to come in and tell about all my conversations with him
00:05:12.760 to even suggest that that is evidence of guilt is complete and total misconduct. And in fact,
00:05:20.300 because we got this one tiny window into what happened there, I wouldn't be surprised if we
00:05:26.260 eventually get to the point of being able to see all of these grand jury transcripts and find out
00:05:31.720 that there is persistent misconduct throughout. So is pervasive that the entire grand jury proceedings
00:05:38.820 are tainted and need to be tossed out? Please join us today on The Great America Show. Our guest is
00:05:45.300 judicial watchist Chris Farrell. And throughout the weekend, a reminder, we'll be updating the
00:05:50.700 indictment of President Trump and charges of prosecutorial misconduct throughout the weekend
00:05:56.380 in our news updates. Thanks for being with us. This is the Lou Dobbs Great America Show news update
00:06:02.580 for Friday, June 9th.
