it s confusing. justice samuel alito said this issue is going back to states. we know that 26 states will soon, if they haven t already banned abortion. some of those states had these laws on the books before roe. those went back into effect. others has trigger laws. laws that would be triggered to go into effect if roe were to go down. each state, the trigger law goes into effect at a different time. that s why we re seeing confusion nationwide. there s one other fascinate thing going on. just a couple of hours ago, planned parenthood staid it was going to state court in utah because it was going to challenge utah s trigger law by saying that it violated the state s constitution. the reason i keep emphasizes the word state is this is no longer in the federal arena. e everything is happening in the state and that will be a big lawsuit to watch. it s really changing the legal terrain. that is fascinating. wh a twist. what let s take a look at that. i do not have a positi
the prosecutor. providing a plethora of details about the days and weeks after the 2020 election. when donald trump and his allies tried anything and did everything they could to reverse what they knew was trump s election defeat. we re getting a look at what sidney powell and jenna ellis told prosecutors during the recessions. those are the meetings where defendants who take plea deals reveal any information that could be used against the other defendants in this case. which includes rudy giuliani and donald trump. former trump attorney general ellis descriing a chilling conversation with trump aid at a white house christmas party. i said something to him like i m sorry that we haven t been able to do more. and i emphasized to him i thought that the claims and the ability to challenge the election results was essentially over because of the dismissal of the case from the the supreme court. he said to me in an excited tone, well, we don t care. we re not going to leave. i
say anything whether it s the president or other people speaking on beafter of the white house that gets ahead of now this review that s being led by this special counsel. it meeps there s a limit to the clarify he can provide until that is done. we should give the public credit here. i don t think that everybody in the public who is watching is assuming erveg is exactly the same. i agree the headlines will be confusing, but what they are trying to do from the white house is explain and show by action, and this is where they will be judged, they are participating in the process. they are being forward about what they know now. yes, there are questions about why they didn t put it out in december. i agree with those. they will be judged by that as well, which is still a stark difference from donald trump, who is withholding documents. we don t know what he s done with them and not been participating or transparent this any way, shape, orform. it will be a challenge for them.
we fear violence at the clings. we re hearing reports on that. it s a prubling decision. it s the first time we over turned 49 years of precedent. they always say precedent. they pledged they would uphold p precedent. we re assessing what it meeps. we know it means more deaths for women. i want to ask why this is personal for you. i grew up in new york and i know people who lost people with back alley abortions.
