Good morning, everyone. I'm Ryan Liza. I'm up in New York covering the indictment of Donald Trump. That's the only thing we're going to talk about today because that is the only thing that anyone is talking about. If you haven't read the indictment and the factual predicates that go along with it, don't read the indictment. It's kind of boring, but the facts and sort of narrative are what's interesting.

Two things about that.

You cannot help but notice what a sensationalistic, crazy, ridiculous tabloid story this is.

These are the characters in Alvin Bragg's indictment.

There is a doorman who apparently made up a story about a Donald

Trump love child. There is Karen McDougal, the Playboy Model, who is paid off to be silent.

There is Stormy Daniels, a woman who has nicknames for her breasts, Thunder and Lightning.

And then there's David Pecker. You can't make up that name, of course, who is head of the company that publishes

the National Inquirer. And then, of course, there's the former fixer, Michael Cohen, who will

eventually be the star witness if this case does end up going to trial. And we're going to be

living with it for at least another year, it looks like. Next, the other important thing this

morning that everyone is talking about are the reactions.

The reaction that lit up the internet yesterday was probably the one from Mitt Romney.

He did not believe that Alvin Bragg's case was that strong.

He said, quote, stretched to reach a felony criminal charges in order to fit a political agenda.

Now, maybe Romney is just setting himself up to be kind of skeptical about this indictment

because he wants to be able to say that future indictments are more worthy of the prosecutors,

other prosecutors' time. But very, very notable that Mitt Romney, one of the original

never-Trump Republicans, sees this as political and not a strong case. The next big

mystery we're going to get to in a second because I want to know and everyone wants to know

what happened in that courtroom that no cameras and no recordings were allowed into?

What was it like when Donald Trump walked in?
