the jury finding trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation and awarding carroll $5 million. what would you want to say to him? i said it to joe tacopina yesterday. he came over to congratulate me. he put out his hand. i said, he did it and you know it. this hour, disgraced republican congressman george santos now in custody at a long island courthouse facing federal charges, including wire fraud and money laundering and renewed calls to resign from members of his own party. white house and congressional staff negotiators working around the clock ahead of friday s next white house debt ceiling meeting after tuesday s first session ended with angry accusations from both sides. i think he knows that default would be disastrous. and i think he knows it couldn t pass in congress. it s dead on arrival. i didn t find progress in this meeting. we will get back together on friday and hopefully the president then can change the path of the last 97 days. good day. i m a
A press conference earlier today in washington. take a listen. mr. weiss was appointed by president trump as the u.s. attorney in delaware and assigned this matter in the previous administration and be continued to continue his investigation, and continue to prosecute in any way he wanted to and in any district he wanted to. mr. weiss has sent a letter to the house judiciary committee confirming that he had the authority, and so i don t know how it would be possible for him to be blocked to bring a prosecution given this authority. the key part of this, boris, is that attorney general is saying that weiss never asked to be a special counsel which is something that the whistle-blowers is saying that weiss requested and was denied. so reexpect that congress is going to continue to look into the issue. yeah, one of the
