Trump Visibly Scared in Interview So Bad, Even Hannity Can't Save Him
Donald Trump is going ballistic over New York Attorney General Letitia James suing him and making a criminal referral over alleged financial improprieties at the Trump Organization. The former president went on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show to complain about the mess he’s in and didn’t do himself any favors. Trump said, “we've been going over this for years. And I actually thought because our values are really high, the company is great. I built a great company like places like this, so many other places that I have like this . . . I thought because she didn't have a case, I was of the impression she wanted to settle, but I had a problem because how do you pay something, even if it's a small amount of money if you're not guilty?” Even when facing a criminal referral, Trump can’t help himself but brag about how wonderful his properties supposedly are. Clearly, Trump has no interest in discussing the substance of the investigation because he doesn’t have much of a case to defend himself.
New York SUES Trump & Family, Refers to IRS for Prosecution!
Donald Trump and his family are getting sued by the state of New York for alleged financial crimes and the case is being referred to the IRS and US Justice Department. The basis of this investigation is the testimony that Trump’s former personal attorney and fixer Michael Cohen gave to Congress. Cohen alleged that Trump and his team would inflate the value of their assets to get approved for loans and then deflate them when it was time to pay taxes. The remedy James wants is for the Trump Organization to no longer be able to do business in the state of New York. Trump is predictably going bonkers over this, as this is totally separate from the Mar-a-Lago documents case, and it’s yet more legal trouble that’s stacking up against him.
From yesterday’s show:
Joe Biden is Very Wrong, the Pandemic Isn't Over
Joe Biden went on “60 Minutes” and told reporter Scott Pelley that the COVID-19 pandemic is over. The two were at the Detroit Auto Show which prompted Pelley to ask, ”is the pandemic over?” Biden responded, “the pandemic is over. We still have a problem with COVID. We're still doing a lot of work on it. It's but the pandemic is over. If you notice, no one's wearing masks. Everybody seems to be in pretty good shape. And so I think it's changing. And I think this is a perfect example of it.” There are two interpretations of what Biden is saying: The most generous is that society has mostly moved on from the mask-wearing and social distancing phase of COVID and has largely accepted the level of death as a trade-off for getting back to normal. The less generous interpretation is that no more should be done to prevent the 300-500 people in the United States who are still succumbing to the virus every day. Biden would have been better served if he gave a different answer that expressed more nuance than simply “the pandemic is over.”
From yesterday’s show:
The Martha's Vineyard Migrants Were Here LEGALLY
Right-wing figures have been going on television to talk about the Ron DeSantis / Martha’s Vineyard migrants story and are conveniently leaving out the fact that the 50 Venezuelan nationals are in the United States legally. Florida Senator Marco Rubio, for example, went on Fox News and said, “people came into this country illegally violating our laws and the first thing they do is get lawyers and use our laws to sue an elected governor.” These migrants are waiting for asylum hearings so they are not in the US illegally and they are only moving to sue DeSantis because they were lured and allegedly defrauded by him. This lack of knowledge or intentional lying by Rubio showcases exactly why the right-wing is so harebrained and deceptive on this immigration issue.
