Right now the state is in the middle of the closing arguments and were in a short recess. So lets start with lisa bloom. Lisa, if we had a word cloud to mark his words in this closing argument, i think the biggest one would be assumption or assume, and second, would be lying.

There were leaks that rosenstein was going to resign during a meeting at the white house today. But multiple sources tell nbc news that rosenstein wouldnt go unless the president personally fired him. Which the president hasnt done. At least not yet.

A remark that sources tell nbc news was made sarcastically. And rosenstein has called the report factually incorrect. Still, there were reports that rosenstein was expecting to be fired. But here is what mr. Trump told reporters today right here in new york city. Are you going to fire Rod Rosenstein . Im meeting with Rod Rosenstein on thursday when i get back from all of these meetings and well be meeting at the whit

Were in college, she alleges he exposed himself to her and made her touch him without her consent. Kavanaugh deny thing allegation, saying it did not happen, and calling this part of a smear, plain and simple. And that brings me to more of his perspective, which is a large part of the story, as is the allegations. Were about to show you something you almost never see if you watch the news. Youve probably seen a lot of Supreme Court battles recently, but here is a current nominee to the Supreme Court, with his confirmation vote hanging in the balance, going on tv for an interview to defend himself. He went over to fox news, with his wife, in this brand new interview that will air later tonight. Did you guys ever look at each other and say, im out, this is enough, this isnt worth it .

Demands during an interview with fox news. We have to have Border Security, and a wall is part of Border Security. I hear so much about the wall is old fashioned. No, the wall is 100 foolproof.
