You know, if Trump is so "innocent, " then why is he afraid to go to court. You have to tell the truth and nothing but the truth right? Why won't he just go and "prove" his innocence. Why not show the "proof" he claims to have?

Hahahaha Trump's lawyers always end up in trouble or unpaid.

Anyone foolish enough to work for Trump deserves what they get.

[redalert]

I expect the new lawyer plans to tell the judge that Trump's last lawyer is "woke".

[Jletsgetalong]

You guys are awesome interviewers, I love the way you guys tell the truth

When the client is a moron these things will happen.

Ms. Wallace is my favorite! She and Mr. Melber are great together!

tRump should be charged every time he breaks the law. If he jaywalks a parking ticket or has an overdue library book (just a joke!), then charge him. Tie him up in court filings and legal costs until he's bankrupt and has to go to jail if for no other reason than he needs a place to live.

"I've known Jeffrey Epstein 15 years,

Terrific guy.

Jeffrey's a lot of fun to be with.

It is even said that Jeffrey loves beautiful girls as much as I do,

and many of them are on the younger side."

[canadiansociologist]

Great chat! And good job at NOT manpeating, Ari.

Looking forward to the next defense strategy where t'rump blames everything on Eric and Don Jr.

Hilarious interview 😮 my mouth was hanging open from the moment he started grabbing at Ari's paperwork.
Brilliant 😂🎉

[joerogain]

Lawyer/ Liars blaming other Liar/Lawyers.

Who woulda thought?

[Afilliatezero]

That WAS a masterful interview! Great job!

Here's the orange fascist coup-plotter's defense: Lie and Lie and Lie and Lie some more.

[kathrynbriggs-and-terrytufts]

Ari's got a crush. So does she - dig the smiles.

[NicoleAZ]

Nice to see mutual respect and genuine friendship between two respected journalists. These people keep me sane in an era where Fox “News” exists.
