on what came of this meeting and whether the president did all he said he would do. jacqui heinrich in jeddah with more. jacqui? hi, neil. this controversial fist bump has drawn condemnation from across the political spectrum, across the media, the washington post publishers condemning it and saying it gave mbs basically the approval that he had so desperately been seeking from biden s visit. the president holding that press conference and affirming that he did bring up jamal khaishoggi s name in his meeting with the count prince. listen to what he said. i raised it at the top of the meeting making it clear what i thought at the time and what i think of it now. exactly it s straightforward and direct in discussing it. i made my crew crystal clear. i said straightforwardly, for an american to be silent on an issue of human rights is inconsist tint with who we are and who i am. i ll always stand up for our values. the president says that mbs responded saying that he w
selection loss, was a letter. mr. donahue, on december 28th, mr. clark emailed you and mr. rosen a draft letter that he wanted you to sign and send to georgia state officials. you testified that this could have grave constitutional consequences. can you tell us what you meant by that? i had to read both emails in the attached letter twice to make sure i really understood what he was proposing. it was so extreme to me, i had a hard time getting my head around it. i read it and i did understand it for what he intended. and i had to sit down and serve , compose what that was an appropriate response. i went next door to the acting ig s office. he was not there. we both had an email. he was not in his offers. i returned my office. . this is not the departments role. to suggest or dictate to state legislatures how they should select their electors. but, more importantly, this was not based on fact. this is actually contrary to the facts, as developed by the department investigati
Decade doing trumps dirty work. Credibility issues are why the prosecution used the 20 witnesses who proceeded cohen to basically corroborate his story before they even put him on the stand. It is also why trumps defense team has singlemindedly sought to state their case on discrediting him. Even in cases that might not be read crucial to rebutting the prosecution. For that reason the defense may think they racked up a victory for themselves today because during the crossexamination this morning, cohen admitted that he stole from the trump organization. In addition to the reimbursement for the hush money for stormie daniels, cohen was also given 50,000. That money was supposed to be a repayment for what cohen spent to hire a tech from to rig an online poll on trumps behalf. We dont have time to get into that detail.

Right now. Hi, ari. Hi, nicole, thanks so much. Today marks a serious, even grim day for defendant donald trump, who of course, was indicted, booked, and had his mug shot taken very famously in an election case regarding possible crimes in the 2020 race in the georgia rico case. He was also indicted by federal Prosecutor Jack Smith in two cases which carry serious charges but, like the georgia case, are actually not currently on track to go to trial by the election. But for trump, the only case where it now matters that he is a criminal defendant is in new york, where trumps trial reached its Inflection Point today as d. A. Braggs team has just told the judge today that the d. A. s office has proven its case based on the evidence and ethus intoning the well known phrase, quote, your honor, the people rest. Thats today in the only case that looks to be going to trial by the eelection. That means the prosecutors literally rest their case and take the position theyve supplied enough evide
