Donald Trump doesn't want anyone looking at those top secret documents that were seized from his Florida home last month, CBS News political analyst Leonard steinhorn on how Trump's attorneys are trying to stall or stop the investigation. Today's filing by former president Trump's legal team to keep the FBI and prosecutors from looking at documents seized at Mar-a-Lago last month is not merely a legal document. It's also an effort to portray mister Trump as the victim of a Biden administration investigation when amok to insinuate political and malign motives to the FBI and the Justice Department.

Right now, it's 79 in fort belvoir, 80 and foggy bottom and 80 in Silver Spring. It's one 40. In a new 21 page filing from former president Trump's legal team is fighting to keep in place a federal judge's ruling for a special master to oversee materials taken from Mar-a-Lago. CBS News political analyst Leonard steinhorn explains what's been learned from today's court action, the Trump team's goal is to slow walk this investigation to keep it out of the news to hope it becomes old news when the FBI and justice apartment have a chance to release more information. They want to portray the former president's arguably illegal withholding of classified material as merely a storage dispute, even though his representative said in June that he had returned all classified documents. The prosecutors and FBI have said that any delay in examining these documents will hinder the intelligence community's analysis of any potential harm caused by the former president's decision to keep mounds of classified material at Mar-a-Lago in a place that may not have been secure. The federal judge overseeing the case was appointed by then president Trump shortly after he lost the 2020 election.

"Were calling their family to say goodbye because they were in fear for their lives. I mean, that's compelling. That's on the ground immediate tells you how scared people were, tells you how close we came to an utter catastrophe in this country, not really a constitutional crisis, but basically a violent potential violent overthrow of our government, if the Secret Service were calling their family to say goodbye because they were in fear for their lives, that is a compelling bit of evidence about what was happening at that moment. And then there's that next step that this hearing is really talking about, that it wasn't just the mob. It was Donald Trump. I think it was Adam kinzinger who said that Donald Trump didn't fail to act. He chose not to act. What he was doing, this was not a sin or an act of omission. It was an act of co mission that he was actually coordinating, encouraging, giving a green light to the riders. That is the larger storyline and the impact as you're mentioning before of what the Secret Service agents were saying. This was real, this was palpable. This was really at the edge of a constitutional crisis and beyond. Let's bring in Loyola university professor Laurie Levinson, who's watching this hearing with us. Lori, that the committee is making the cases Leonard steinhorn describes it that doing nothing was itself and overt act on the president's part. No, no, dereliction of duty is a crime in the military. This is the question for a lawyer such as yourself and law professors such as yourself, is can it be a crime for a civilian who happens to have been commander in chief to commit dereliction of duty? Well, it can be if the theory is as a fact he had a duty to act. And he failed to do so and he failed to do so with a specific purpose in mind because he did want the rioters to succeed. That's exactly the case they're lying now. It's not only that he encouraged them earlier when he was giving his speech to them and told him march on the capitol. But once they were marching, he had the ability to stop them, and he didn't. In fact, he did exactly the opposite. He issued that tweet and everyone understood in those circumstances that tweet was an encouragement. You can be an accomplice if you want or a co-conspirator

A New York Times Sienna college poll indicates only 49% of Republican voters would back a Trump presidential run in 2024.

Obama urges Americans to honor John Lewis' legacy by voting
"For the funeral of Congressman John Lewis rose to its feet with an up roar of applause during a eulogy from former President Barack Obama. Mr Obama talked about the selfless sacrifice of the civil rights leader and that the voting rights he fought for our under siege by President Trump, who's floating the idea of delaying the election. Joining us live to talk about CBS analyst Leonard Steinhorn. Great to have you, Leonard? Happy to be here so to other presidents were on hand. But it was poor former President Obama, who offered this impassioned defense of democratic ideals that he says are being threatened. He's been more outspoken, but not like this. Can you talk about it? Look essentially what President Obama was saying is, if we wanna honor John Lewis's legacy, truly honor it. We need to finish the work of John Lewis's lifetime. Which is to ensure voting rights, for all with no obstacles in anyone's way and in effect. What he did with his rhetoric is he entered the political fray not directly not through partisan attacks, but with clear and pointed assaults on those Particularly Republicans, who were doing exactly what John Lewis fought against all of his life, which is to undermine the voting rights of the American people, So he did it through lofty and impassioned rhetoric. But his message was clear. He was definitely part former president and part preacher today, talking about the protests as well, something that Louis energized in his day is a civil rights leader, nearly losing his life in the fight. Can you characterize what Mr Obama said, and its relevance at this moment in history? So, in essence, what President Obama did was draw a straight line from Bloody Sunday on the Edmund Pettus Bridge from Bull Connor in Birmingham. ER, George Wallace. The black lives matter. And the civil rights struggles of today are voting rights struggles of today. So you know, he basically said Bull Connor may be gone, But today we witness with our own eyes, police officers. Kneeling on the next of black Americans. George Wallace may be gone. But then, he said he worries about the federal government's sending agents to use tear gas and batons against peaceful demonstrators. Clearly referencing what happened in Lafayette Square when President Trump wanted to go to the church and hold up his Bible. So he drew a straight line from John Lewis in the 19 sixties tow what's happening today, and clearly, that was a strong message that this next generation now has to take the torch. And continue on with the fight that John Lewis began when he was just Ah, young, a young man in 1960 CBS News political analyst Leonard Steinhorn Thanks so much for being here. Thanks Always. By the
