The day ended with former American Media Inc. chief David Pecker talking about how he vetted allegations of an alleged affair between Trump and Playboy playmate Karen McDougal in 2016 while in constant communication with Trump’s then-fixer, Michael Cohen.

    DA Bragg wants to bring up Trump’s past cases if Trump testifies

    If Donald Trump opts to testify at his New York criminal trial, Manhattan prosecutors want to use his past legal run-ins to discredit him to the jury. In a filing released Wednesday, prosecutors for the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office say they’ll ask the former president about the recent verdicts against him, including the recent civil fraud trial with the New York attorney general, where a judge found Trump and his company liable for committing persistent and repeated fraud by inflating the value of his assets to get better loan rates.

RE covid lab leak GOP theory

I think we need to be looking months earlier. A client of mine was in Wuhan September 2019, and returned to Seattle early October , very sick. His dr said “he didnt have The Flu, but some kind of weird flu.” Sick for 30 days, fever chills, wicked sore throat. I picked up a slight cough that lasted for two months.

Podcast name

In my opinion, Laura Coats should have her name on show. I listen to many podcast and because she has become my favorite, I know the podcast I need to select to hear her, many do not. I think CNN would benefit if they saw her face and name on a podcast.
