I think its probably unlikely. I think maybe maybe the democrats are putting that out. Who knows. But i think that its pretty unlikely. But, you know, who knows. I hope that if they are doing something, i hope that somebodys going to find out so they can end it. Because that would not be appropriate at all.

They say they thought it was just a pod cost done as a favor for Donald Trumps friend larry king. Cnn washington corr
