congressman, i appreciate your time. thank you very much for being with me. thank you. and next the dire warning from one of it last working hospitals in gaza. as we have a special investigation into whether israel s targeting of hospitals in the gaza strip is justified. plus live pictures out of iowa tonight. a blitzered is forcing candidates to cancel their final events before the state s caucuses. in fact, we re learning trump has just canceled three out of his four rallies. which candidate does this hurt or help the most. and the judge in the fulton county case tonight addressing for the first time allegations that the d.a. is having an improper relationship with the lead prosecutor.
this widespread racketeering case. now, we know the u.s. secret service has already been there a couple weeks. they ve been scoping out the jail. this is what you expect. you don t want to show up with the former president at a jail where he needs to be processed totally blind, not understanding how that process is going to go, how you re going to move him through the building, make sure he gets in and out safely and of course doesn t interact with the general population of the jail. and some of the other details, though, still need to be worked out. we re also learning trump s attorneys are expected to continue their conversations with the district attorney s office early next week. you wanted to show up at that jail with a bond agreement already set. so whatever the conditions might be for bond for donald trump, any conditions of release, you want that hashed out ahead of time, you want a judge to sign off ahead of time so you re not lingering around to get processed at the jail. y
