and thanks to you at home for joining us this hour. so it was called damn love, d-a-m-n love. it was a game you played on your cell phone. now i ll tell you, the premise was little bit dark, but straight forward. you see there is a grumpy looking person in the foreground on the left and a happy couple on the right. the grumpy person in the foreground is supposed to be you in this game. and your goal as a grumpy little troll is that you re supposed to break up the happy looking couple behind you. now you play against an opponent, and over the course of seven rounds, you basically have to choose between two scenarios that might cause a rift between this otherwise happy couple. and at the end of the game, the player that causes the most heartbreak is declared to be the winner. now this game does not exist, but these are real screen shots from it. congratulations, you just plunged to the next rank, you awful person. it was little twisted, and it was very, very irreverent, but i

do it for us tonight. thanks very much for being with us. forgive me for having a weird husky voice, which comes from but i just want to thank you for that hour, that 40 minutes with e. jean and this amazing legal team. because roberta kaplan, sean crowley, when you get into reading the transcript of this case, as you know, they re even better than you think. it s like, this is going well, oh no, it s going much, much better, because they re so sharp in every twist and turn in those transcripts all the way through. and it s just an amazing legal team. so i m glad they re all here as a team, because they are three remarkable people there who made this happen. and we can see from the outside, like you said, looking at transcripts, seeing how unflappable and professional and disciplined and prepared they were. but to see e. jean grab both of their hands and call them indestructible, knowing what they ve been through together and the prep they went through with her and knowin
negotiations to plead guilty to perjury for allegedly lying on the stand during trump s civil fraud trial. and while we don t know for certain which lie mr. weisselberg may be owning up to, the testimony the new york times points to, the thing they heavily suggest may be the lie in this case is maybe the most trumpy thing ever. just a few mounts ago back in october allen weisselberg took the stand to defend in new york attorney general letitia james $240 million lawsuit. that s where trump and other defendants are being accused of inflating assets. one of the things mr. weisselberg was asked about under oath was the size of donald trump s penthouse apartment in trump tower, the one that looks like louie xivth on acid. the a.g. believes this asset in particular is a glaering example of donald trump s fraudulent overevaluation. yes, there are monster chandeliers and marble walls, but for years this three-story penthouse was listed on annual financial statements as being 30,00
