Even FOX HOST calls out Trump lawyer for RIDICULOUS lie

In a fiery exchange on Fox News, anchor Shannon Bream challenged Alina Habba, former lawyer for Donald Trump and current spokesperson, over baseless claims linking President Biden to legal proceedings against Trump. Despite Habba's insistence on Biden's involvement, Bream emphasized the lack of evidence, sparking a backlash from Habba and Trump. Trump took to social media to criticize Bream's perceived naivety, reiterating claims of Biden's orchestration of the trials. However, Bream remained resolute in her skepticism, questioning Habba's assertions of involvement from the Biden administration. Ultimately, the exchange highlighted the indefensible nature of Trump’s actions, with Habba and Trump shocked that Bream would buck the party line.

Sad, low energy Trump STUNS his own lawyer

Donald Trump's demeanor took a somber turn as he faced jury deliberation, displaying signs of sadness and resignation. His statement, suggesting even Mother Teresa couldn't beat the charges against him, hinted at his apprehension towards a possible conviction. Amidst Trump's despondency, criticism from actor Robert De Niro added to his distress, highlighting the repercussions of opposing Trump within his sphere of influence. Despite Trump's attempts to portray himself as a victim of political targeting orchestrated by Biden, even some Fox News hosts are refuting these assertions as increasingly baseless. Trump's evident anxiety reflects a pivotal moment in his legal battle, where the outcome remains uncertain, and his defense narrative flounders.

From yesterday’s show:

Trump lawyer's closing argument a disaster, "not good"

The first criminal trial against former President Donald Trump is nearing its conclusion, marked by criticisms of his defense attorney's closing arguments. Legal experts, excluding those personally affiliated with Trump, have described the defense's approach as ineffective and in violation of courtroom rules. There was a specific incident Judge Juan Merchan took issue with, which was when Trump’s attorney Todd Blanche attempted to sway the jury by suggesting potential consequences for Trump, such as prison time, if convicted. This was a clear violation of the rules, as juries are not to be concerned with matters of punishment, but instead decide on whether they believe the accused broke the law. As the trial nears its end, questions arise about the impact of Trump's conduct during the proceedings on the jury's deliberations and the ultimate verdict.

From yesterday’s show:

They're pretending Biden was really going to kill Trump

Right-wing figures like Tucker Carlson and Patrick Bet David persist in propagating a baseless conspiracy theory alleging that Joe Biden orchestrated a plan to assassinate Donald Trump during the 2022 FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago. This is based on a routine provision found in the search warrant allowing the use of lethal force during the execution of the search if necessary for public safety. However, this provision is standard in all FBI warrants and does not imply a specific plot against Trump. Furthermore, the former president was not even at Mar-a-Lago during the raid and the FBI made sure of that. Despite being thoroughly debunked, the theory continues to be spread in right-wing circles, contributing to a climate of misinformation and undermining trust in institutions.
