It is also day 18 of the people of the state of new york vermont donald trump, the expresident s former Attorney Michael Cohen is just off the Witness Stand. The jury is done with their service for the day. Prosecutors and attorneys for the expresident are dealing with the all important question of what happens next. Its happening right now. A hearing over what the defenses case will look like and if they will make a case, if they have a case to present the updates from that hearing that is happening as we meet well bring them to you right away. All this is in the wake of a rather desperate and uneven attempt to undercut Michael Cohens credibility. It was to be generous, hit and miss, defense attorney todd blanche had a Second Chance at cross examining Michael Cohen after a day of rest yesterday. He moved around from topic to topic so quickly that todd blanche decided that todd should apologize to the jurors who would decide Donald Tru

Invest in this economy right now in order to keep it going. and so it is kind of what we expected in terms of it being a bumpy road. but we are going forward and what this does is only highlight how important it is for the biden economic plan to be passed by congress and done in a swift manner. let s talk about texas and particularly the anti-abortion law that the supreme court allowed to go into effect. i know the president has called on the department of justice to look into what could be done. but what can the president really do about texas? well, we have tasked the attorney general and department of justice to look at how they can ensure and protect women s right to choose. and we ve tasked hhs to do the same thing and how to protect women s rights and how to make abortions available to make that
