On the stand right now, attorney Robert Costello who according to Michael Cohen formed a back channel to donald trump himself in the year 2018.

this is the fourth debate, the fourth debate that you would be voted in the first 20 minutes as the most on obnoxious blowhard in america, so shut up. 25 minutes into the debate, he has insulted nikki haley s basic intelligence. not her positions, her basic intelligence. she doesn t know regions. she wouldn t be able to find something on a map that his 3-year-old could find. look, if you want to disagree on issues, that s fine. nikki and i disagree on some issues. i ll tell you this, i ve known her for 12 years, longer than east even started to vote in a republican primary. while we disagree with issues and disagree about who should be president of the united states, what we don t disagree on, this is a smart, accomplished woman, and you should stop insulting her. republican presidential candidate chris christie saying i think what everyone is thinking, attacking one challenger while coming to the defense of another. we ll have more from the fourth gop debate, the final o
trump s running mate. that s hi, on newsmax good evening. i m abby phillip in new york tonight. family, friends, and maga country mineral playing the ponies, except the horses are men, three men. new cnn reporting shows the constant cajoling and lobbying and pleading from people in donald trump s orbit to pick their guy to run alongside trump atop the ticket the shortlist is seemingly shorter now, marco rubio, jd vance, and doug burgum they are all reportedly at the top of the list of trump s choices to tap. now, that doesn t mean that the others are ruled out, including tim scott elise, stefanik, byron donalds ben carson, who will join me later on this show. all of them, cnn is told have received some level of vetting paperwork and the vip stakes power rankings are in constant flux according to our sources why? well, it depends on trump s mood of course, and it depends on how trump thinks everyone in his vp casten call is performing on television. they re standing really d
