Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump held dueling events in the pivotal battleground state of Pennsylvania tonight with just weeks until Election Day. In Erie, Harris slammed Trump's comment suggesting that the U.S. military should handle “the enemy from within” on Election Day. Harris told her supporters that "he would use the military to go after them…and we know who he would target, because he has attacked them before: Journalists whose stories who he doesn’t like, election officials who refuse to cheat by finding extra votes for him, judges who insist on following the law instead of bending to his will. This is among the reasons I believe so strongly that a second Trump term would be a huge risk for America, and dangerous.” Also tonight, Anderson speaks with Rachel Goldberg and Jon Polin, the parents of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, the 23-year-old Israeli-American hostage murdered a month-and-a-half ago by Hamas.

The document comes from Special Counsel Jack Smith's office and argues that the actions Trump took to overturn that election were in his private capacity - as a candidate - rather than in his official capacity, as a president. That argument comes after the Supreme Court’s decision in July, which granted the former president sweeping immunity for official actions but left the door open for prosecutors to pursue Trump for unofficial steps he took.
