chutkan reconsidered her decision and her new arguments from the special counsel and donald trump s criminal defense team. trump s attorneys wanted it removed on first amendment grounds, but judge chutkan reiterated in her ruling last night that, quote, as the court hasexained, the first amendment rights of participants and criminal proceedings must yield when necessary to the administration of justice. contrary to defend this argume, the right to a fair trial is not his alone, but belongs austin to the government and the public. defendants repeated appeals to broad first amendmentes, therefore ignore that the court pursuant to its obligations to protect the integrity of these proceedings recognize those values, but and balancing them against potential prejudiced from certain types of statements, found them outweighed. the gag order limits what trump says about potential witnesses in the case, as well as special counsel. it does not stop him from attacking president biden, th
attacking president biden, the justice department, or even judge chutkan herself. one of those potential witnesses is trump s former attorney, william barr, who trump slammed on social media last night a little more than an hour after the judge had filed her decision. at a 21 pm last night, trump posted, quote, i call bill barr dumb, weak, slow-moving, lethargic, got loose and lazy, a rhino who couldn t do the job. that s an all caps, if you re listening. bill barr is a loser, all caps. judge chutkan and special counsel s team have not yet responded to the social media attack on bill barr. the remarks are part of a pattern for the former president. while the gag order was on pause last week, trump lashed out at another potential key witness in the case. mark meadows. on tuesday last, week trump weighed in on a report from abc news that meadows, trump s former white house chief of staff had testified in the case under an immunity deal. and a social media post, trump insinuated
On average, 13 inches l along the i85 corridor, from a trace to a dusting south of i85. In the southern upstate, not a whole lot of snow or sleet or rain. Of course, north of i85 in the northern upstate, anywhere from 37 plus inches of snow. In the mountains, 715 less inches of snow.

But troopers say the driver hit a frozen patch, and ended up hitting andy. He died at the hospital, and the crash remains under investigation. I cant imagine how that driver must feel, knowing what happened. You know, after this happened, im definitely going to think twice about running on the road when its snowing.

But we are looking forward and most important for us and for him, the Justice Department as we look ahead is independent, makes decisions of their own accord including their review of any investigations or judicial steps that have been taken. Thank you, jen. Can i do a follow up . Jen i think were about to conclude it here, but because its my second day, lets take two more questions. Go ahead in the back. About the yes. Is the president going to listen to the pardon attorney . President bush told president obama that he should use the pardon power early on. But we know that the pardon power has been in disrepute in the last week because of President Trumps pardons. What is President Biden going to tr
