Before you shot. When i saw the clip and they were showing the gravel pit. Someone was outside the gravel pit with a camera, looking into the gravel pit as she was taking aim.

This means the onset donald trump ends up in a florida courtroom before the general election, those odds are slim to none, which is good news for the former president. But, less apparent good for the former president was the fact today donald trump was back in manhattan criminal court. Today was the 13 of the Hush Money Case against him, and it was by no means a normal day.
