Well, former Vice President pence did not dispute trumps right to ask. But he is once again drawing attention to what he was asked to do a day before january 6th, he came back as his lawyers did. He said we want you to launch those votes outright. They were asking me to overturn the election. I had no right to overturn the election. I know we did our duty that day. Well, the federal judge Tanya Chutkan in d. C. Has set a timeline for tomorrow at five pm when the trump team must respond if they object to the governments request for a protective order on evidence in this case, a request prompted by trumps activity on social media as of late, effectively setting up the first showdown of what is expected to be a protracted court battle. Now, the indictment remains the top story on the front pages of the New York Times and the wa
Department of justice at the time. Hes also accused of lying to investigators. Again, it is not the crime, folks. It is the coverup, but there is a delay. De oliveira hasnt secured local counsel to represent him in florida so the judge asked him to return later, next thursday, to go about the arraignment. If all of this sounds familiar, thats because the other trump aide indicted in the classified Documents Case, the valet, walt nauta, twice had his not guilty plea postponed for the very same reason and perhaps youre saying to yourself, what a stroke of bad fortune. Both indicted Trump Associates somehow unable to find a florida lawyer, thereby delaying their trials with the 2024 election fast approaching. Go figure. This afternoon, there are also significant concerns surrounding de oliveiras legal fees, specifically who is going to pay for them. Its reportedly a trump pact and that raises a number of major questions that we will address throughout the hour, but first, consider how thi
