Thank, you alex. I want to begin tonight with a special word to and about don trumps criminal defenders, all of whom are offered a Standing Invitation to appear on this program at anytime. All of Donald Trumps Defense Lawyers have failed more spectacularly in the representation of donald trump than anything they have ever done in their professional lives because they have all failed at the most basic task, the first task, of a Criminal Defense Lawyer, which is to control your client. Donald trump is Out Of Control, spewing poisonous hateful, racist, sexist lies about the prosecutors and judges who are involved in the cases, the criminal cases against him. Or, as in fani williss case, still investigating him. And every one of Donald Trumps criminal Defense Lawyers knows that every poisoned, filthy word donald trump has said about the prosecutors, every one of those words is a pathological lie. And not one of those criminal Defense Lawyers has the professional dignity or Human Decency to
She used to be the District Attorney of the neighboring county i. Want to get her reaction to this. This is something weve never seen before in the history of american prosecutions. Georgia has never seen it, and i just want to get her feeling about what the impact of it is. Yeah, i mean, funny willis is not issued an indictment against on trump and hes already using everything at his disposal to undermine her and threatened her. So this is absolutely tara incognito it should not go under noticed or under discussed. I will be watching. Thank, you alex.

Large interest most significant federal indictment of donald trump ever. This is in a way that well document more significantly than the legal headaches he already has. This will be tonight the first time any former president has been indicted by the Justice Department for trying to steal an election. Now, i mentioned, if you have been walking our breaking coverage, we have been going through what is a voluminous filing. Jack smith found six other coconspirators that are named in the filing. It alleges that trump spread lies, that there had been outcome determinant fraud, fraud that would have swung the election back to him, and these claims were false. And trump knew they were false. Ill put on the screen what were watching for. Want to share what were learning. S this a day we have been trying to hew closely to what we know and dont know. In the last several moments, the most heads up youll get from an agency that jack smith will approach the podium you see here. Some of the local Be
President at the United States. The only person who could possibly have told jack smith and The Grand Jury about those phone calls is mike pence. The january Six Committee invited mike pence to testify, but he refused. The january Six Committee did not bother to issue a statement to mike pence since they knew he would ignore it, just as some other elected republicans ignored subpoenas from the committee. Mike pence could not ignore jack smiths subpoena. Mike pence went to court in what he knew was a legally hopeless attempt to block jacks mitt subpoena. Mike pence went to court to try to show trumps quarters, whose votes he wants in the president ial campaign to think that he was forced by Judicial Process to testify to jack smiths grand jury. Mike pence did not just testify to jack smiths grand jury. He became the star witness, and he will be the start witness when the case that the United States of america versus Donald J Trump is presented to a trial jersey in washington, d. C. They
