dealing with the election could somehow provide a writ for the justices to get involved. if you talk to legal experts it seems a narrow path, but is there a path? yeah, bret, there is certainly a path. the supreme court has stepped in in other criminal cases primarily when the death penalty is at issue and has stayed, you know, the proceedings. but it is not unprecedented. you have bush versus gore and ibm. several cases the supreme court has indicated they will put a freeze and hold on it to see if there are constitutional violations that are significant. dana: brett tollman, thank you. fox news alert because right now we re waiting to hear from former president trump. he is scheduled to speak at a news conference this morning at trump tower just a little 59 minutes from now. that is just one day after he was found guilty on all 34 felony counts in his new york criminal trial. welcome to a new hour of america s newsroom, i m dana perino. bill hemmer is off today. hi
election. the way he responded to that is by creating an alternate universe in which he did not lose the election and the country is paying the price. three times. three times? losing in 2020, the new york attorney general case and now the 34 counts. the attorney general case with the massive penalty. you are right to point it out with the devastating nature of the blow in that case. hundreds of millions of dollars that he owes and now in this criminal case. he does not have the option to do it he did with losing the 2020 election. he does not have the option to say that didn t really happen. let s have an alternate universe in which the penalty did not happen, the liability did not happen and the criminal convictions did not happen. from your sense of how he moves through the world and deals with humiliation and failure, what do you think he has left to do that he can do in response to this that we should be prepared for? is going to blame everybody other than hims
