former president. most trump supporters don t trust what he calls fake news, but now if we re reporting facts that while we can debate the politics or particulars can t be spun away. it s a fact that trump seized to own one development this week to demand that he be reinstated as president or granted a new election even though both are impossible. and the next day while release leasing this photo, the justice department accused trump of likely concealing and moving classified documents, some of them top secret, in an attempt to obstruct the probe. last night trump called those involved sick people. we will examine whether the president is rooting for trump to be indicted. it s almost true he may never be charged. whether a double standard is applied to president biden. does the nonstop coverage of trump go too far? that s the question. i m howard kurtz, and and this is mediabuzz. howard: when doj said in that court piling that donald trump had held back at least 100 cla
You dont need to be a news junkie or lawyer to grasp whats driving the trial and why many have made headway with the jury in this case. The reason is receipts. This trial, which is about all kinds of stuff, is currently working against trump as a defendant because there are just so many receipts. Receipts include the onslaught of emails and secret texts and mdas and as i mentioned last night, i was inside the courtroom yesterday in one of the rare, coveted Reporter Seats and i can tell you we also saw along with the jury, actual, literal receipts.
