Liz and Andrew begin by discussing the latest developments in Fulton County, Georgia. No, it’s not a Trump indictment – but it is the next best thing!
After that, the duo break down Trump’s latest LOLsuit loss in Trump v. CNN, and discuss how Trump may aim to leverage that loss into an argument to overturn the most important Supreme Court case in terms of press freedom: New York Times v. Sullivan.
