And i dont have any cookies either. Thanks, dana. Bret good evening, welcome to washington. Im bret baier. A rematch of the 2020 election between President Biden and former President Donald Trump, seems inevitable on this wednesday after the Super Tuesday primaries.

And put 1 figure on this mountain of legal trouble, just last night the Washington Post came out with a new piece detailing the more than 40 million trumps Political Group is spent on legal costs to defend not just trump, but his advisers and others in the first half of this year alone. The first half of this year alone, at 40 million from Trump Supporters all across the country footing l
