Hello, hello, happy Friday, and welcome to this week's Reporters Roundtable on the

Bill Press pod. Well, it's been another crazy week with news breaking on several fronts at

once, which I was reminded of yesterday running into an editor friend on the

street who told me she had assigned several reporters to cover the Munich Security Conference,

but all anybody wanted to talk about was Fannie Willis on the witness stand in Atlanta.

So to recap, this is going to be remembered as the week when for the first time ever,

the House impeached a sitting cabinet secretary, when for the first time ever, a former president

was ordered to appear in a courtroom to face criminal charges, when Democrats flipped a key

congressional seat on Long Island, when Republicans

killed a strong border protection bill, they wrote themselves, and when the main source for

the Republican efforts to impeach Joe Biden was arrested for lying to the FBI. Whoa, so much

to talk about and so little time, but let's try to make some

sense of it all with today's panel. Joining us again, welcome back to Sabrina Siddiqui, White

House reporter for the Wall Street Journal. Hello, Sabrina. Good morning, Bill. Gabe de Benedetti,

back with us again, National Correspondent for New York Magazine. Hi, Gabe. Good morning, Bill. Gabe DeVendiddi, back with us again, National Correspondent for New York Magazine.

Thank you. Hello, Bill. Okay, so it was a case of dueling courtrooms yesterday,

split screen courtrooms on national television. Let's start, Gabe, with the one in New York City, where Trump was given a trial date for March 25.

Before we get into any of the merits of the case, Gabe, this is an historic event.
