children over about an hour? where was law enforcement? those are just fair questions, though they are. they are essential questions. if you want to prevent similar atrocities, you need details, you ve got to find out what exact we happened. if this is a well-known concept. every time a commercial airliner crashes in this country federal investigators painstakingly recruit the final moments of the flight. not because they are ghoulish. want to know what caused it. if and that s the main reason that air travel is so safe. after action reports work. yet somehow our leaders rarely respond as rationally to violent crime, almost never. a mass shooting is just too tempting a moment for them to demagogue. at the public is often grieving and then shock, so it s the perfect moment for the usual opportunists to leap forward and cast blame on the political opponents, to seize all the power they can while the country is too traumatized to notice. if you almost hear anyone in washington a
Doc . About the Stormy Daniels hush money deal. Todd blanche repeating the word lie or lying 35 times so far while questioning cohen. Im chris jansing, alongside my colleague andrea mitchell.

The high point for the prosecution is he was contrite, yeah, he lied. Again, may not want him to be your neighborho
trial. a trial that threatens to upend his personal fortune and real estate business. the former president could take the stand in his own defense on monday, but today the court is hearing from an accounting expert who described new york attorney general s letitia james claims of fraud as meritless, saying, quote, my main finding is that there is no evidence whatsoever for any accounting fraud. this is trump s first appearance since an appellate court reinstated a gag order barring him from talking about the court staff on social media. while the clerks are off limits, trump didn t waste time renewing his attacks on the judge arthur. a case that is absolutely 100%, there s not a judge in the country that wouldn t have given us a total victory, but there s not a judge in the country that would have even taken this case. this is a witch hunt, and a very corrupt trial. the attorney general sits here because she knows that she has a judge that no matter all the evidence, that
