maria: welcome back. president trump is fighting back, the supreme court will now weigh in on trump s eligibility to run for president. the court agreed the take up trump s appeal to the colorado supreme court in an expedited track. oral arguments are expected by february 8th and a ruling soon after as democrats in colorado and maine are seeking to keep former president trump off of the election ballot. as new york attorney general letitia james is stepping up her pressure in a filing on friday, james demanding that trump be banned for life from the state s real estate industry as well as he and his business associates be fined $370 million. that is, of course, an increase from the $250 million that she was originally speaking. seeking. joining me with reaction and response to all of this is alina habba, attorney for former president trump. thanks very much for being here.
