Donald trumps trial on charges he tried to steal the 2020 election. In a court filing today, Special Counsel jack smith asked for a start date of january 2nd, 2024. He said this would vindicate the publics interest in a speedy trial, that will ultimately be decided by the judge presiding in that case, judge tanya chutkan. But even assuming she chooses a somewhat later start, there may be some delays along the way, donald trump is probably going to face trial in this case before the president ial election next november. Though he does have one critical possible hail mary remaining. He and his lawyers could try to somehow find a way to kick the case up to the Supreme Court, where the conservative majority would rescue him.

look, i think it s highly unlikely donald trump has ever read mine comp. they attack what he said, but if you come back to the root of the issue, it s what a lot of american people agree with him on. remember when trump s first wife said he kept a book of hitler s speeches by his bedside? now he s echoing nazi rhetoric, and as unusual, republican politicians are coming to his defense. also, new reporting on justice clarence thomas, and his quest to live like the jones while serve on the court, which could go a long way to explain why he allowed his wealthy friends to give him such lavish, lavish gifts. and fresh off their 148 million dollar court victory over rudy giuliani, the women he defamed, ruby freeman and shaye moss, are now filing a new lawsuit against rudy. but we begin tonight with the phrase, poisoning the blood of our country. if it sounds like nazi talk, it s because it is. in chapter 11 of adolf hitler s fascist manifesto he writes, all great culture
