I absolutely hope the probation officer asked Trump if he understands the charges. Whatever answer he gives should be aired on TV.

[bchollis]

When does he get drug tested? apparently parole officers typically ensure that happens.

Probation states it’s ok to commit any crime you wish. If he’s to old to jail he’s to old to be president. Time to jail DT.

[NosmoRex]

Can we stop calling it the "hush money case" and refer to it more accurately as the "election interference case"?

“I don’t care about you, I just want your vote.”

If he's too old to go to jail, he's too old to be president. Put him behind bars, and let him take what comes. IF YOU DO THE CRIME, YOU DO THE TIME !!!!

[rebeccadieter]

No previous Seriously??? What about E Jean Carroll? What about the trump university 🐂💩

[gavinschneider]

what about the drug screening and the DNA collection?

[kimberlykrause]

No one in their right mind could say Trump is not violent!

[ZonDog]

Vote blue whatever you do.😊 save Democracy.

[bellagirlgirl]

I feel sorry for the probation officer -- what a headache!

[brandond]

the fact that the probation officer is a woman is perfection

[jdavies]

Given his rambling incoherent speech in Nevada today, they should recommend he's tested for dementia prior to sentencing.

[russellfisher]

Stay true, stay strong Judge. Stay strong P.O. Don't give him any easier, than anyone else.

[loraoflahrity]

A clear example why, any registered voter needs to contact their Congress person and express their opinions! Members of the Congress are employed by tax payers- tell them how to do their job!

[olanna]

I object! This interview should be in person!

[shermantincher]

Very fraught???? Nothing but more kid gloves extra special treatment for this CONVICTED CRIMINAL. Does anyone else get to do it virtually? Does anyone else get to have their lawyer by their side?? Does anyone else get to skip the drug test?? NO!!!!

[tonyscott]

If people don't realize that Trump is a threat to the whole country, then it's our fault, not theirs. We need to get out and vote Democrat in November. We need to vote blue again, America. There are more of us who want to keep our freedom and fight for this democracy. So if we fail to go out and vote, we can only blame ourselves. Vote!

[einherjar]

If I was the PO and a betting man I would bet on Trump repeating his crimes if he isn't locked up and would not recommend probation.

[benedicthlongwane]

We look forward to hearing from Trump, ad nauseum, how he aced the probation officer's questions.
