President biden finally weighing in earlier today, calling the evidence in the case overwhelming, strongly suggesting that hes hoping for a guilty verdict, but calling for calm, no matter the outcome.

Yeah, so the first thing i would say, nicole, to everyone out there is when you hear journalists like me confidently tell you why the stock market failed, dont believe us. No one knows most of the time exactly why the market rose or fell. Thats why we use phrases like animal spirits. And so yes, it seems like people are getting nervous about a slowing e

The New York Times is reporting this afternoon that the president s lawyers say the president was asked about building a trump tower in moscow and that his responses are, quote, aligned with those of his longtime fixer Michael Cohen. Michael cohens Court Appearance today adds to our understanding of what the president knew and when he knew it when it came to those real estate efforts in moscow. Cohen admitting he spoke to the president more extensively and during the summer of the general Election Campaign about the moscow project. Cohen was charged in a manhattan courthouse today by muellers prosecutors. This is his first charge from the mueller team since cohens guilty plea in august. He has reportedly spent 70 hours with federal investigators. Presumably it was through those hours of interviews that cohen revealed inconsistencies in his own congressional testimony. Today he detailed those i
