About this episode
First: Walt Nauta, the Trump aide who allegedly hid boxes of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago before the FBI arrived pleads not guilty, despite the Justice Department saying he was caught on surveillance video hiding those very boxes. 2024 Republican presidential challenger Chris Christie joins the show to discuss.
