The office of New York Attorney General Letitia James released footage on Tuesday of the deposition of former President Donald Trump.

Can’t prosecute Trump’s witch trial that way in my opinion.
Trump was right he said it would be crazy not to take the Fifth Amendment it’s all a set up Letitia James has been trying to rig everything she can for a meme power grab.
She may end up standing on her own trap door.
