The final polls closing just moments ago in indianas president ial primary. Well, voters are also casting votes for u. S. Senate, the house and governor. You can see the results as they come in at the bottom of your screen. Were going to keep you updated with any major developments. Plus, in moments, we will tell you what was it like inside the courtroom . As Stormy Daniels took the stand today but, first, its dark and stormy, thats the focus of tonights angle. Laura all right, ingraham rule of thumb, if youre a prosecutor, relying on the testimony of a Convicted Perjurer and a porn star to make your case, you shouldnt have brought it in the first place. Just one thing i have been noticing as this has gone on there has been a couple times where she seems to be cracking a joke, trying to get a reaction from the jury. And our reporters in the room have noted that the jury hasnt seemed to respond to that. They are taking their job seriously. This is some searing crossexamination, so far.
Thank you so much for joining me this saturday. Im fredericka witfield. We begin with the historic autoworkers strike, now in its second full day. Negotiators for the carmakers and the union are expected to be back at the Bargaining Table Today. For the first time ever, workers are striking at plants for General Motors, ford and stellantis at the same time. The carmakers say despite big profits in recent years, the raises being demanded would drive them out of business. President biden weighing in, saying now is the time for the companies to step up. No one wants a strike. Say it again. No one wants a strike. But i respect workers rights to use their options under the collective bargaining system. I believe they should go further to ensure record corporate profits mean record contracts. Gabe cohen is at a Stellantis Plant in ohio where workers there are striking.

donald trump in february of 2022. because people like taylor budacwich, a witness before the grand jury testifying in miami, people like taylor budawich had expressed to donald trump that perhaps he shouldn t make a statement by that, and perhaps he should be consulting with his attorneys. that was not the statement that went out at that time. it s very likely one of those episodes that prosecutors are interested in and receiving testimony on. we don t know the full extent of what that testimony entailed today in the secret proceeding here because the grand jury is confidential. we haven t gotten much indication from taylor himself. he did say publicly on social media that i fulfilled a legal obligation to testify in front of a federal grand jury, and i answered every question honestly. but there are so many questions still about this investigation, including how close an indictment could be in this case
