Welcome to prime time weekend, lets get right to the weeks top stories. With less than two weeks to go before he makes history by becoming the first expresident of these United States to ever stand trial on criminal charges, donald trump is turning to a tactic straight out of a mobsters playbook. The expresident , going after the daughter of the new york judge, judge merchan, who is overseeing the criminal hush money case. In typical trump fashion, his attacks have been filled with foaming at the mouth rage and bluster, and conspiracy theories with a dash of disinformation for good measure.

Approximately 2,000 u. S. Troops have been told to prepare for possible deployment in the middle east if
