gershkovich. more on that spray head. but first. the border crisis still a major problem as large amounts of migrants pour across as of the border. including a group of over 1000, many from venezuela for they cross the border illegally just days ago before turning themselves over to border ag agents. hello and welcome to fox news like i am molly line in for arthel neville. so far hypo and eric shawn hello everyone thank you for joining us for it will take a live look now at the southern border this comes as homeland security secretary mayorkas faces more criticism from republicans. he refuses to call the migrant surge of the southern border a crisis. the chief of the border patrol ortiz testified before congress that some areas of the border are in a crisis situation. do you agree? i think we face a very serious challenge in certain parts of the border. do you view what s happening right now the border is a crisis? i view it as a significant challenge. significant c
photographed and then trump flies back to mar-a-lago where he will speak publicly about the indictment against him. his attorney making this bombshell today. we will look at every potential issue that we will be able to challenge and we will challenge it and, of course, i very much anticipate a motion to dismiss coming because there s no law that fits this. alicia: the details of the indictment are typically under seal before the arrangement takes place but there are reports that trump will face as many as 34 charges. if the charges are exclusively along the lines of the reporting before i came on, it ll be a class e felony and there is an upward range that involves prison and downward range that involves no prison whatsoever. so that s what we have to wait and see. really only district attorney bragg knows what the evidence is. alicia: so if the charges are related to the hush money scandal, trump s legal team and many others including former attorney general bill barr s
