Family and a business that has a lot of legal problems over the years. the practice there the fact there are so many investigations with state and federal that are now seemingly reaching a point of traction, i think that that would be a pretty scary moment for the family. i had said, immediately after joe biden s inauguration, the donald trump enters the face phase of life called defendant trump. i did not anticipate that it would be defendants trump, plural. david enrich, tim o brien, thank you very much for joining us on what is the beginning of this case. we are going to need your help on it as it proceeds. thank you very much for joining us. thank you, lawrence. coming up, two presidents, biden and zelenskyy, address the united nations today while in moscow, vladimir putin threatened to use possibly even nuclear weapons against ukraine. white house press victory jean-pierre will join us next. next. on can take you to a dark place.
