Former Westchester County, N. Y. , D. A. Jeanine Pirro discusses the weeks biggest legal stories. Or four of them out. Judge jeanine i know you will have more to say tomorrow morning on fox news sunday. Now to my opening statement. You know, americans elected the outsider businessman president. Why . To borrow a phrase from the man himself. What do we have to lose . The economy was in the tank, our Kids Western Living in the basement because they couldnt find a job.

The obama folks called it a healthy economy but there was barely a pulse. 1 annual gdp growth was the new normal and President Obama warned Donald Trumps election would result in Economic Disaster for all americans. Some of those jobs of the past are just not going to come

It took place. Did you know at the time about that meet something. No, i didnt know anything about it. It must have been a very important meeting, because i never even heard that. No one told you a word, nothing . I know we talked about this on the plane a bit. No, nobody told me. Sounded like a very unimportant meeting. Deep cuts there from haberman and schmidt.

That contradicts repeated denials from donald trump jr. And others in Donald Trumps orbit. Did you tell your father anything about this . No. It was such a nothing, there was nothing to tell.
