| 0:00.0 | All too often, it seems that Trump gets away with the lies that he says, but not this time. |
| 0:04.8 | A federal judge has just ruled that a defamation lawsuit brought against Trump can continue. |
| 0:11.5 | That and a defamation lawsuit brought by Dominion against pro-Trump News Network NewsMack is headed |
| 0:18.8 | to trial. |
| 0:19.8 | My name is Dean Adol with the Midas Touch Network. |
| 0:22.4 | Let's break this down. The five men that are known as the Central Park Five have been through a lot. |
