to start? i d like to get in on the action here. text me. you got my number. let s do it. deal . all right. have a great shilpi. sean, thanks. great show, as always. appreciate it. and sean mentioned on pete hegseth in for laura ingraham tonight. and this is a special addition of the ingraham angle. it is official. the trump show has returned to the big apple, the former president touched down in new york city late in the three o clock hour today. and then with every news chopper in new york city on the scene, was whisked away in more than a dozen car motorcade, presidential motorcade, you might say, to trump tower in midtown manhattan. upon arriving, there was one quick shot of trump entering the building. he gave a wave to supporters outside, then went up to his residence, the penthouse, trump tower is where we find our only boy, nate. what is the latest? what can you tell us ? right now? things are pretty quiet here. the former president has not left the penthous
hi, everyone. here we go. it is 4:00 in new york. oh, to be a fly on the wall behind these closed doors. in the courthouse that has seen no shortage of famous influential or wealthy criminal defendants. 12 new yorkers and seven men and five women are right now debating the fate of a former president of the united states and they have questions. the jury in the historic trump criminal election interference hush money trial is at this moment deliberating on the 34 felony counts trump is charged with by the manhattan district attorney. just in, in the last few minutes, a second note has been sent from the jury, they re asking to re-hear judge merchan s instructions to them and earlier they are requested testimony from david pecker and michael cohen. our journalists are standing watch and they are updating us and we ll update you as soon as we know anything. as of 4:00 p.m., the juries that deliberated for four hours after yesterday s marathon day of closing arguments, more than
presence there. and there ve been a number of problems in the past because they don t use electronic filing in this court. it s all paper filing. the media has got to be very aggressive here and getting full access to all filings in this case. to resisting a gag order and especially a gag order of the breadth that s being talked about in the press. so former president trump has been very critical of this judge. i mean, can he get a fair, fair hearing in a new york city courtroom? considering what he s been up against? well, i don t know enough about this particular judge, david would know that there s no reason to think that he that he can t get a fair hearing. but i think we need to watch it carefully. and if i think that if there is a gag order, like david says might happen, you re going to immediately have heavy litigation on that. but something else your viewers should keep in mind is that in a criminal case, it s often very difficult to get the actual charges knocked off
specifically targeting president trump and promising to convict him when he isn t even under investigation. and third, i would personally move to recuse the judge. i think that there s monkey business going on with the judge, with the judge shopping process. and i have an historic basis for making that claim. but we ll see. i don t think it s coincidental that he was a judge on the trump organization case and the benan case and now this case and they in the past have acknowledged a practice of judge shopping. yeah, it certainly looks like in this case, so i ve got to get your take on this, though, because late tonight, just moments ago, michael isikoff reported and this is just early reporting, that donald trump will be charged with thirty four felony counts for falsification of business records, but he will not be put in handcuffs, as has been reported, placed in a jail cell or subject or subjected to a mug shot. so now they re saying no mug shot, no handcuffs, but three , four fe
but what i want to say finally about this is that we ll go through this process. and if the judge is being fair, i think this case should be dismissed. but if it isn t, then, you know, there are a number of, i think, defects with what we re hearing about this case. and setting that aside, what has been opened here is a pandora s box of politicized prosecutions being touted and being had in this country. and that s incredibly disturbing for confidence. the rule of law, no doubt, victor, we ve all pointed out the fact that this is unprecedented, but set the scene of what this says about the state of our republic and what it says about just us as a country. well, it means elections and politics are going to be settled by other means and that s lawfare. what this does now is it s going to unleash every wannabe, local or state prosecutor who wants to be a celebrity or has a political ax to grind or is in service for the national party to go after ex presidents or anybody. and i mean, it
