To the women of Missouri stay the course fight the good fight for all women 🙂👍👏💯🇺🇸

[@paulathepoodlelover]

Oh Yamiche, I love the green jacket. Very professional. Another GREAT show. Thank you for your good, hard work. 💚💚

[@STG44tiger]

Yamiche rocks!

[@youuuknooow7699]

Great reporting Yamiche! 👏

[@KtotheL]

yeah make her the ANCHOR and get rid of Kristen Welker she was cancelled ( by any one paying attention ) by Vivek Scumissame

[@Supersuccessful]

I appreciate how nice and neutral you are keeping your repotting. Respectable journalism. Attagirl.

[@chuchoelroto1318]

I'm sorry. Not to be offensive, but, I'd have a hard time listening to Kennedy in a debate, let alone, having him for 4-8 years and struggling to listen to what he's trying to say. All his speeches or whatever it be, will have to be extended twice as long to get his message across. Plus, I don't like his views.

The opening is like the Game of Thrones

[@dsklava253]

Our lovely, savvy, and stylish host ❤

[@Supersuccessful]

She’s doing a great job

[@bonbons2093]

Audios could be construed With no facial recognition to go along with it It’s leaving it wide open for Republicans to fudge it up to their advantage

[@francesbatycki404]

They have the transcript so why bother? Can’t people read?

[@javierj9345]

You clearly have no clue what’s really happening in the courtroom 😂🤡🤡

[@ytimi5231]

They don't want to accept the truth.

[@AdrianRodriguez-fb9bt]

With AI you can make people say things that weren't actually said. imagine Fox remixing the audio in Trumps favor. Thats the true danger .

[@lizgander9172]

Doesn’t he get tired of saying the same thing over and over and over? Doesn’t his base get tired of hearing the same thing over and over and over again?? Ugh.

[@richdiana3663]

It's a Trumplorable cult.

[@Rosivok]

aparently democrats dont. you keep thinking that Cohen is suddenly going to tell the truth. He is a serial liar, but this time...oh yes, this time hes going to tell the truth. dont you get tired of this? Or are you totally delusional?

What? What did I just watch?

[@mikejohnson8522]

Why should never be Wake up

[@robsantana629]

Imagine trying to cover all of Trump's mis-statements? It would take years to go over all of Trump's lies. Good coverage of Matt Gaetz with no sound. Nothing he says is worth hearing I agree. Just whining outside the court to please Trump.

[@robertgraves580]

The truth is coming out Michael Cohen would lie to his own mother!

[@robertgraves580]

Matt Gaetz for president!

Please change your medication now.

[@corwin8558]

By transcript Trump's lawyer looks like a fool.

[@maryrochefortt505]

Hope the audio is leaked 😂

[@TheHardTruth315]

When do you begin to discuss Ashley Biden admitting the deep self examining journal she forgot at a drug rehab home in Florida in which she describes inappropriate showers with her father when she was a preteen girl, and also the fact she stated on the same page (23) she believes she was molested and suffers trauma? If a grown six foot man is nude in a shower with a three and a half foot tall nine year old little girl, we need to know about it.

[@SafeSpaceCafe]

I hope Kristen Welker is ok & not missing work due to illness cause she's gggrreat!!!

[@jayro2996]

I wonder at national news who report the Republican stance and none other

[@bluegirllove777]

We must place their wanna-be King in prison!

[@Independent_Muslim]

I'm not for any of these 2 old men, but you all know Biden is toast. He's bleeding out public support and making Trump a hero by prosecuting him. I'm supporting Dr. West

[@markcirelli5360]

joke of a case.

[@Stanging84]

how about you people worry about the HEREAFTER and getting to heaven . stop all this politic DRAMA

Believe whatever Trump says. He is always right ✅️

[@solidfuze99]

We won't be able to get the whole story before the election sounds a lot like what they're charging Trump with with the Stormy Daniels case geez

[@jesse-blueforrest2953]

Voters are paying attention, especially we who are moving over to Robert Kennedy Jr. Your are going to have a rude awakening, no matter how you twist it…

[@83994087]

Can Judge Merchand put each of Trump’s sycophants on the stand under oath and ask them if Trump directed them to make the statements they made outside the courthouse and also put the journalists who watched Trump write out and edit the scripts he gave them to read so Trump can be sent to jail for violating the gag order and the sycophants can be indicted for perjury??!!

[@javierj9345]

You need a life

WATCHING THESE INDICTMENTS/ COURT CASES FALL APART IN REAL TIME IS AWESOME.. TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME IS GOING TO GET TRUMP RE-ELECTED..😂😂

[@solidfuze99]

They're holding back and there is no investigation he has some questions that's all he did like they said it's already out there you just are going to really understand how senile the old man is when you hear that the audio

[@tommackean]

As always, Trump is not saying he didn't do it, just that he shouldn't be prosecuted for it because he is running for president

[@AdrianRodriguez-fb9bt]

There is no law against getting prosecuted while you run for president , there was however a internal DOJ memo that says you had to let the Attorney General know. In other words a guideline not a law.

Have you ever noticed how physically attractive republicans and conservatives are?

[@gregblum7484]

This is political, you have to be blind not to see that, or a liberal Dem trump hater😂😂😂😂

Nobody is above the law. Not even your beloved politician.

[@anthonyturner5610]

Lock that mf up

[@bonbons2093]

Putin/Russian banks have been financially aiding Trump since the 90s. Trump has been a part of the BRICS fascist dictatorship since 2014. Trump will sell out our country to save himself and to be a fascist BRICS dictator He is a national security risk And a lifetime corrupt criminal…
