Florida grand jury may be looking to charge ‘someone who followed Trump’s instructions’: legal expert

A federal grand jury will convene in Florida this week to hear evidence in special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation of Donald Trump’s handling of classified documents, and legal experts are intrigued.

The investigation appears to be heading toward a conclusion — and a likely indictment, based on a meeting between Trump’s attorneys and the Department of Justice — but MSNBC legal analyst Chuck Rosenberg suspects there may be a “parallel investigation” to the District of Columbia case in Miami, and it may involve an associate of the former president

“If somebody had committed acts only in Florida, even if it’s connected to a broader scheme, the venue for that person, maybe somebody who followed Mr. Trump’s instructions to obstruct justice or to conceal evidence would be properly charged and tried in that jurisdiction,” Rosenberg told “Morning Joe.” “Then you would be appropriate in Florida, so absolutely a possibility, remains to be seen.”

“I’ll say one other thing,” he added. “I don’t know which case is moving quicker, although it appears to be the documents case, but when defense attorneys request a meeting at the department to make a pitch that their client ought not to be charged, you know you’re closer to the end than the beginning.”

‘Remarkable’: Reporter stunned by dramatic detail of Minnesota lawmaker shooting



CNN's Tom Foreman called new details coming out about the night Minnesota state Sen. John Hoffman (D) and his wife, Yvette, were shot and seriously wounded during an alleged political attack, "absolutely remarkable."

Fifty-seven-year-old Vance Boelter was arrested and charged with shooting the Hoffmans, and killing Speaker Emerita of the MN House Melissa Hortman (D) and her husband, Mark.

Federal investigators revealed this week that the suspect visited the homes of two other legislators on the same day.

"Unbelievable the details we're getting out of the hospital from these folks here. It really is remarkable," Foreman exclaimed.

"What they are saying now is that they went to their door at two in the morning. They hear this pounding on the door. They say they went to the door with their adult daughter, Hope, who was with them also," Foreman recounted.

"They saw, according to them, this gunman at the door who shot John Hoffman nine times. His wife Yvette, was pushing the gunman out the door as he shot her eight times. She got him out the door. The daughter, Hope, locked the door and called 911 and got help to the house. Remarkable that these people survived this and made it through their serious conditions."

Foreman remarked that "the fact that this family was able to do that at two in the morning out of a dead sleep, absolutely remarkable."

Foreman read from a statement the Hoffmans released Thursday saying, "We are grappling with the reality that we live in a world where public service carries such risks as being targeted because someone disagrees with you or doesn't like what you stand for as a society, as a nation, as a community, we must work together to return to a level of civility that allows us all to live peacefully. The future for our children depends on that."

Yvette Hoffman was released from the hospital Thursday while her husband continues to be treated for his injuries.
