i interrupt you with i m sorry to interrupt you, we re going to go with leticia janes. howard: and new york s democratic attorney general who had postponed her press conference until biden was off the air, announced a civil suit against donald trump, his adult children and the trump organization. donald trump falsely inflated his net worth by billions of dollars to unjustly enrich himself and to cheat the system. howard: and that is the trump-obsessed media environment we all live in. msnbc spent hours and hours talking about almost nothing other than the suit against trump which he denounced as a political witch hunt calling leticia james a fraud. cnn was more balanced but devoted plenty of time to the lawsuit including an interview with michael to cohen who showed up on hsnbc as well. fox news covered the story but much less than its rivals. as for the president, russia and ukraine, i m sure by now joe biden is accustomed to being blown off the screen by the former pr
