right? and so there s no question that a mistake from someone who is a veteran who is a role model should not have occurred. that s why i think it really, to me, came in as a negative thing for the defense. christen gibens-fedden. always appreciate the analysis and insight. thank you. thank you. also this morning, we could find out whether ghislaine maxwell plans to take the stand in her sex trafficking trial. it s the defense team s second day of testimony. maxwell is expected to tell the judge her testimony on testifying. her legal team indicates they could rest their case after just 12 days of testimony if the defense does rest, closing arguments in that case could happen as soon as next week. it s one of the hardest things lots of women and their families go through. but infertility can also be
