Bret im sorry. I couldnt help it. I will tune. In thank you. Good evening, welcome to washington. Im bret baier. Breaking tonight, former President Donald Trump says the quarter billion dollars civil Fraud Lawsuit against him is a scam. The former president making the comment as he arrived at the Manhattan Courthouse where the trial began. He is accused of deceiving banks and insurers. No one is above the law.
