Trump denies exposing secret Iran paper in heated interview with Bret Baier – latest news

[Social Media]

 

 

 

 

Judge Aileen Cannon has set a date for the trial in the classified documents case against former President Donald Trump.

The Trump-appointed judge has signed a court order listing the trial as starting on 14 August of this year in Fort Pierce, Florida.

 

 

The news comes the morning after the former president denied that he ever possessed a secret document about attacking Iran despite the fact a recording exists that had him discussing a document he kept from his presidency.

Mr Trump spoke in an interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier at his property in Bedminster, New Jersey less than a week after he pleaded not guilty to 37 charges in a federal court in Miami at his arraignment.

A federal grand jury had indicted him for allegedly willfully mishandling classified documents, obstruction of justice and making false statements.

The former president was also confronted by Baier over his insistence that he won the 2020 election — which he did not, as the Fox News host made clear in a testy exchange.

 

Voters may be growing sick of Mr Trump as well. In a newpoll, voters were most likely to describe Donald Trump in one word: a “criminal”.

I couldn't watch that creep for more than a minute or two but I've seen snippets over and over in the news. My biggest takeaway was also how he looks like a cornered rat. Goin' down like the Titanic. He is his own worst enemy, he just can't keep his lying trap shut. Every time you think he can't get in the hole any deeper, he pulls a new shovel out of his pocket.

I DID enjoy the section where Bret just plain smacked him in the face for denying he lost the election. Mwuhahaha!

Well actually there are apparently still millions of "fact challenged"  MAGAs that still think he won the election and who are too stubborn, proud, stupid, delusional, ignorant to to admit that they got conned by a con man.

Careful, Lyndsey may just like prison life if you know what I mean???? 

[Skeptic7]

His BIG flapping ugly lips are his own worst enemy. He confesses his breaking the law along with his supreme ignorance and idiocy at every word in every interview. ALL this will be used against him. His attorneys certainly won't let him testify for fear of incriminating himself, but the orange idiot already has. Tells anyone & everyone with the stomach to watch and listen ???? that he did everything which he's accused...and then incorrectly says he's above the law or it doesn't apply to him.

 

Oh it's gonna be some fun watching him this deranged, corrupt, criminal con-man go DOWN❗???? ????

A circle of hanging jerks. Epstein x3. Now that would certainly MAGA❗????

[bamnutsak]

Well that interview went about as well as a train derailing after hitting a dumpster on fire, then being overwhelmed by a volcano erupting.

 

I guess Boris Epshteyn is his closest advisor, especially on legal matters, so things will continue to get worse for trump.

 

It sounds like he is alone, with few of the adoring sycophants that he finds solace with. And no steadying hand of Ivanka or Jared.

 

The end will be sad, not unlike his consigliere Roy Cohn, or Cohn's most celebrated client.

 

There will not be a Trump International Airport, in the U.S.A. anyway. Maybe in North Korea or Russia?

 

[gargamon]

So where can I see the whole interview? I've found bits and pieces with excessive nonsense from the talking heads but that's useless. I do have a mind of my own and don't need to be told what to think. 

[newnative]

If  we're lucky he will be the Republican nominee for 2024 and he will be a THREE TIME LOSER with the voters.  Sweet.

[bamnutsak]

I think Episode 2 airs tonight.

The interview was on Fox News so I would think you could find it on their website?

 

 

[bendejo]

This is why I want the trials to be televised: after a few days of sitting there like a fire plug he's going to demand to take the stand and we'll get the greatest political aria ever sung.  Hey, ya gotta have hope!

That's a looped 30-60 second preview of the interview. Hardly the whole interview. Maybe the intellectually challenged MAGA crowd wouldn't notice, but...

OK.

 

I just assumed it would be there.

 

I went to the Fox News website and wow, it's a hot mess. I couldn't find it. But maybe that's because it was so embarrassing?

Not televising the trial would be a hit on free speech. The public have a right to know the full facts of this matter as it is decidedly in the public interest.

Yeah, thats my point. Maybe after both episodes are broadcast somebody will put a torrent out.

Interestingly not one single comment from the pro-Trump crowd on Aseannow. Where are all the denials, deflections and attacks that usually appear after a bad-for-Trump news piece? Are you all too busy bankrupting yourself trying to donate to Trumps defense?

Not pro-Trump, but ..............

If the President of the USA can't view and share their countries secrets it just seems wrong.

Surely it's all up to him?

 

If I were president, my defense would be, "They're my secrets to do with what I will"

Trump is not the president.

That is not a valid defense for an elected President, it is a statement for a dictator.

[Bkk Brian]

Also from the same interview, Trump tying himself up in knots over saying he would pardon Alice Johnson over drug offences but then being confronted by Bret that under Trump's new proposals she would be executed!

 

Trump touts pardoning first-time nonviolent drug offender Alice Johnson and says she got “treated terribly,” but then Bret Baier points out Johnson would get the death penalty under his new proposal. 
"No, no, no. Under my, oh, under that? Uh, it would depend on the severity."

It seems to be very difficult for some to admit that they got conned for years.  Whether too proud, too stupid, too ignorant, too stubborn to accept reality or just plain delusional. 

 

There are still millions who think he won the 2020 election not that they have a shred of evidence and in spite of 60 court cases tossed, recount after recount by mostly republican officials.  No rational person could possibly believe that if there was any  evidence of significant voter fraud that it would not have long ago been brought to light....yet they still cling to the BIG LIE because Trump told them so.  If that is not delusional then I frankly don't know what else to call it.
