CNN Anchor Brutally Checks Former Trump Attorney’s ‘Two-Tiered’ Justice System Claim

Trusty, who resigned from Trump’s legal team after the Justice Department indicted the ex-president over his handling of classified documents, defended 45′s “right to be frustrated” with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and New York Attorney General Letitia James before criticizing the justice system.“Look, I don’t have to sign off – or sign on – on anything that the president says.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) was slammed online over her argument for an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.Mace told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins she supports opening an inquiry because “it would give us another tool in the toolbox, specifically to look at Joe Biden’s bank records.”“Any piece of evidence, right or wrong, I want the American people to see all of it, whether it backs us up or not,” she said.“But isn’t it supposed to be the evidence that leads you to pursue impeachment?

CNN Anchor Reminds Rep. Nancy Mace Of The NSFW Label She Used To Describe GOPers

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Friday questioned Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) over why she had called on fellow Republicans to “stop being assholes to women” while also backing a House amendment to block a Defense Department abortion policy.Earlier that day, the chamber passed the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act with an amendment that would reverse the Pentagon policy, which reimburses travel expenses for service members who are stationed in states banning abortion but want to receive the procedure. A compromise on the final legislation is expected after the Senate passes its own version of the bill.Mace, who voted in favor of the NDAA in the House, had sent a blunt message to her party over the amendment Thursday.“If we want to show America that we can come together and that we care about ...
