Out front next, the breaking news, a major setback for Trump tonight, a judge denying a desperate

attempt to delay his first criminal trial, which starts in just days. This is the judge he appointed

0:12.9

in the classified documents case is facing accusations that she is delaying the trial for the man who

0:17.8

appointed her, Trump himself. Also breaking Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green speaking to Armani Raju and tripling down on her threat to oust the Speaker Mike Johnson.

0:27.6

Will she really do it and can she succeed?
