They are expected to take most of the day, and then its a matter of how long it takes a jury to reach a verdict. That is, if they are able to reach a verdict at all. Were going to get back to that. But first, lets not forget that this Hush Money Trial is just one of Donald Trumps many indictments. There was bad news for him this week and one of the other cases against him. And trumps classified documents case, the one in which he is accused by federal prosecutors of illegally hoarding classified documents at mara lago and then trying to hide them from the federal government, newly unsealed documents this week revealed new evidence of more possible Obstruction Of Justice by the former president. Quote, once trump realized that Security Cameras at maralago could capture his employees moving classified Government Information that officials were attempting to ret

Again, with the legal experts, all of them all say its fake, its false. Not true. He said the American People see this trial as a fraud and waste of time. Thats not true either. Back when he was indicted, in fact, 60 of a
