Welcome to court side, a discussion of the post-election litigation brought by Donald Trump.

0:05.0

We are day 22 after the election, three weeks and one day. Every sentient being, even the

0:12.0

turkeys, both the country and the birds, acknowledge that Donald Trump is lost.

0:17.0

So that leaves Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, and Jenna Ellis.

0:21.6
