Today, Liz and Andrew break down a number of stories, all of which are bad news for Donald Trump, and we put all of them into the context of Trump’s crimes. We also preview the forthcoming release of part of the Fulton County, GA special purpose grand jury report. Phew!
First, Liz continues to update us on the E. Jean Carroll litigation, this time focusing on Trump’s post-discovery stunt in which he now is willing to offer his DNA. Find out why this is a disingenuous stunt and find out all the law explaining why.
Then we learn more — much more — than you ever wanted to learn about Trump’s document retention and destruction policies. Hint: it involves nightlights and toilets, and no, we are not making that up.
