No, he was making fun of himself there. You have to wonder if the former president is feeling the heat. I expected him to sing myway and with the scarves wipe the sweat off his face and its hard for me to as Special Counsel jack smith turns up the temperature in federal court, amid the back and forth over the protective order in that case. Theres new reporting this morning do you think hes well . No. Im just saying, him sweating that much. Do you think hes in a million different ways, i dont think hes well . Do you think hes unwell . Marco rubio didnt sweat that much. Ron desantis doesnt sweat that much. That was a lot of sweat. Yes. New reporting on a secret memo that laid out the plot to overturn the 2020 election. Were going to go through that Major Development in just a moment. Meanwhile, were getting a better idea of the timing for the next possible indictment for the former president by 2028 . No. The case down in georgia. Can she delay this any longer . I think its coming. 2028,
conduct his work. as i have said before, i strongly believe that the normal processes of this department can handle all investigations with integrity, but under the regulations, the extraordinary circumstances here require the appointment of a special counsel for this matter. republicans get the special counsel they ve been calling for to investigate president biden s handling of classified documents. and it comes as we re learning more about the files and where they were found. meanwhile a prominent name in the republican party says it s time for the gop to move on from fallen president trump, calling him a proven loser. we ll have those comments just ahead. and george santos vows to stay in congress despite more members of his own party saying he should resign from making up just about all of his resume. good morning and welcome to way too early on this friday, january 13th, friday the 13th, folks. i m jonathan lemire. thanks for starting your day with us. attorn
