I'm Ben Myceles from the MidasTouch Network leading to the January 6th insurrection.

Donald Trump was accusing his own top White House lawyers of being coup plotters and engaging

in a coup against him. That is the deranged dangerous madness that was taking place in the White House

leading up to the January 6th insurrection. We are now learning about this from the release

because Judge Barrel Howell, the federal judge in Washington, DC, who oversees the criminal grand jury

proceedings currently investigating Donald Trump for numerous crimes, has ruled that Donald Trump's

assertion of executive privilege is without merit in the secret grand jury proceedings. So Pat Cipollone,
