Donald trump who still wants us to believe he can legally stash americas most sensitive secrets in a maralago bathroom was back in court today, requesting that the whole Criminal Case be dismissed. Also tonight, Vice President Kamala Harris makes an historic visit to an Abortion Clinic as republicans continue to push for a national ban. And i call this one. The big push to force a Chinese Company to divest tiktok would allow the far right maga crowd to swoop in and gobble it up, which now seems very possible. But we begin tonight with the lone exception to Donald Trumps petulant attacks against the judges and prosecutors in the numerous criminal and civil trials against him. That would be one judge aileen cannon, a trump appointee, where remind you, who is overseeing the federal Criminal Case involving trumps mishandling of classified documents. Todays hearing in a florida courtroom on two of trumps motions to try to throw out the case is the latest exam

Hi, there, everyone. 4 00 in new york. Kicking, claim p xleeming, crying, whining, donald trump and his legal team back dwhoog they do today. Seeking to delay, delay, delay, delay justice. Todays effort at that in the federal criminal case brought by special counsel jack smith for illegally hoarding classified documents at his private club in maralago.
