They name. But certainly the former president s team has spent the day bracing for bad news. They appear to believe that this could potentially reference him. That his name could be one of those on those ten indictments that were returned. Theyve issues taken just a few moments ago. Lashing out at the District Attorney, fani willis here. Something that we have seen the former president doing repeatedly on social media in recent days. They are actually accusing them of Election Interference. Which we should note is, of course, ironic given that what the heart of the indictments potentially. Lets go back to cnn sarah murphy who has been outside the courthouse in atlanta all day. Sarah, obviously we are waiting to see when we are going to potentially hear from baku District Attorney, fani willis, that trump has been attacking here. Whats the latest that you have heard . , thats right, i mean, she is still expected to make remarks to the press this evening. But obviously they want to get t
Jail for several years for counterfeiting one vote. If they try to vote illegally once, he tried to steal the entire election. And his lawyers out there are saying that its just a matter of him expressing his First Amendment rights. And that is deranged. That is a deranged argument. Trumps lawyers also making the case that mike pence will be the defenses, quote, best witness. Today on cnn, pence contradicted lauras take on the Pressure Campaign to block the certification of president bidens election victory. What President Trump did not do is direct Vice President pence to do anything. He asked him in an aspirational way, asking is covered by the First Amendment. In the days before the president was talking about us rejecting votes. And then late in the process, his lawyers suggested that we return votes to the states. But frankly, the day before january 6th, if memory serves, they came back, his lawyers did, and said we want you to reject votes outright. They were asking me to overtur

What theyre doing now is likely expected a not guilty plea where he will formally tell the court he has notice of all the charges against him, and they will set some date in the future in terms of when he will have to either have discovery provided to him, there likely is not going to be a Motion Schedule for the things that you would argue about what would come into evidence, thats going to be longer down the road. But the notion of a rap sheet is so significant with these different indictments, particularly because of this reason normally if somebody has charges against them, trials in the same vicinity, youre talking about maybe if they are convicted theyre going to run concurrent sentences, meaning this one will run on top of the other and the other. Its not going to be youll serve five years for this one, then ten years for another, five for the next. It will
Again. Ive never discussed my business or their business, my sons or daughters. I have never spoken to my son about his overseas dealings. I never discussed with my son or brother or anyone else anything having to do with their businesses, period. And he sent out his spokesperson to apparently mislead as well. In 2020, andrew bates, a spokesperson for the campaign at the time said no meeting ever took place between biden and a burisma executive. This is russian disinformation operations, said Biden Adviser Michael Carpenter to politco. Whats going on here . Its a fair question. Fast forward to this past monday. Devin archer told congress in 2015 in april, biden entered the room where they were having dinner, shook everybodys hand. He came to dinner and then the burisma dinner companions, all they all talked about the world and the weather. Those are archers words to the House Oversight committee. Pat fallon sits on that committee and he joins me now. Congressman, thanks for being here.
