Thank you at home for joining us this evening. One of the most important criminal cases against donald trump has been on lifesupport for weeks now but as of today, it appears that the case will live. The former president will likely have to face trial. For the past two months, we have watched as the Georgia Election interference case against donald trump and 14 Co Defendants devolved into a high stakes sideshow.
