hi there, everyone. its 4:00 in new york. theres brand new reporting that drives home the fact that donald trump is his own worst enemy when it comes to his many, many, many legal problems and when it comes to the indictment and the classified documents investigation turning him from a disgraced twice impeached once indicted ex-president. in that case he has no one to blame but himself. "the washington post" reports late last year team trump hit a fork in a road, a point in which trump...

Escalating threats against the department he once oversaw. from that piece, trumps message was that the justice department charged him only because he is bidens political owe poe next. two trump-appointed people are investigating trump. two men who served in the trump administration have emerged as figures in this movement to rid doj of its independence. the former director of the office and management and the former doj official jeffrey clark. more from the reporting. they are promoting a legal
