Results coming in at the about m of the screen. Any major developments as they come in. First, ya beyond a reasonable dt thats the focus of tonights angle. We are never going to know just how much this trump trial cost the taxpayers of new york, but it has to be, i dont know, in the tens of millions of dollars . And for every hour spent on this was one hour less spent on prosecuting real criminals still terrorizing the city, not that has ever been alvin braggs priority.
