Plus, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky criticizes her own agency over its response to COVID-19, and heat waves raise the risks of fires across the West.

Can't anyone see that Donald Trump always commit some awful Act and then turn the fight back on whoever call him out on it

[sparkysmalarkey]

Convenience will always have consequences, thinking you can avoid them is insanity.

[kitkat]

Anyone else wondering which one of Trump's kids will end up taking the fall for all of this? You know he would sell them out if it meant saving himself.

[Totallygrateful]

So many MAGA getting thrown in jail. 😂😂😂😂

[kidneythief]

I hope trump is super stressed about his situations b/c they ain’t looking’ good.

[justinsternhagen]

Hopefully the judge gives him 5 months for every count. 15×5= 75 months.

[leavingitblank]

I find it interesting that they keep stressing how he has to testify _truthfully._ Isn't that the whole point and requirement of a testimony?

[cymonmars]

Nothing should be released it weakens the case let everyone wait.

[SMS]

I don't feel anything more should be released. Not the video, the affidavit, NOTHING, until Donald Trump releases the name of everyone that has been at Mar-a-log for the last 18 months.

[JamesBondE]

Weissel Berg pleading guilty will be matter of concern for all those associated with him directly or indirectly

[juliotorres]

So much for the ridiculous rationale to vote for Trump: "He is not a politician!" Neither is he an honest farmer.

[jensy]

Whaaat?. I didn’t think that would even be close to happening! Oh well let’s give all the criminals a heads up into the information.

[barrypowell]

And you know trump will say, “ I never knew him, I know many, many people. But I never heard of him.”

[Applecider-Poetry]

my family has a long history of surviving epidemics. my uncle died at 18 from polio. i thought the CDC did a great job. masks were usually up to each individual unless some public place required them. no big deal for me.

[terrijaree]

Just think of this being trump and how much more he will have to answer for - foreboding foreshadowing .

[johndoeOUTOO]

I think they won’t release a full affidavit cause they were the ones in there watching him!!!

[kalijasin]

This guy only got 5 years probation on 15 felony counts? WTF? 🤦‍♀

[DBone]

The Trump team thinking they have any right to make any demands during this shows how delusional they are.

[LovinPeaceVibe]

I'm sorry but I can't concentrate on the story because the way the reporter was struggling while speaking distracted me. Obviously she wasn't prepared for questions.

[SistaVapors]

OMG!! All these Trump crimes are too much. Enough already. When does it stop?
