All right. So as I just mentioned, this news just broke, just broke in the last hour.

0:06.0

And I'm going to start there, because this is a New York Times report that outlines this, the seeking of information by the Justice Department about Fawney Willis, of course, the Georgia DA who prosecuted Trump.
