The campaign. Plus, iowa not so nice. Hecklers turn up the heat and grill mike pence serving up a side of jeers with their deepf deepfried oreos and calling the former Vice President a traitor for doing his job. And a former republican says he doesnt need to wait for evidence to find out if hunter biden reaped rewards. Im dana bash. Lets go behind the headlines and inside politics. A win, kind of, coupled with a warning. The federal judge presiding over the President Trump 2020 Election Trial sides with the defense and rules against an attempt to totally restrict what their client can do or say with evidence. But that judge did establish clear limits to how trump can use what he learns from the lawyers in public, and this is important. She issued a stern warning to the former president , one, that everything he says is now under scrutiny. Another, is that the campaign will take a backseat to what happens inside her courtroom. Cnns Katelyn Polance is outside the federal courthouse. It s
