got to appoint their own judge. america s education prices. as kid goes back to school the ideological war over the uncomfortable aspects of american history and the book banning all while the u.s. faces a massive teacher shortage. good evening, everyone, as you begin the readout today, one day after donald trump got on a stage and called vicious monsters and just how effective it is when a corrupt president is allowed to put so many judges on the bench. that s because a federal judge who trump picked today did him a huge favor to put it in trumpian terms, on an investigation that could not be more critical to our national security. u.s. district judge aileen cannon released her ruling granting the request by trump s legal team to request a legal master, look for any privileged material. while that process unfolds, the judge is blocking the justice department from continuing its investigation into trump s theft and grossly negligent mishandling of classified documents. now no
