Hi, welcome back to prosecuting Donald Trump. It's Tuesday, March 26.

I'm Andrew Weisman, and I'm here with Mary McCord.

Hi Mary.

Good morning, Andrew.

Well, I don't know what we're going to talk about today

because there's so little that's happened. I think even our listeners will

know you're being facetious but we'll roll with it here. So here we are the day

after a big day for the former president. He got somewhat of a mix of good and bad news. He of course was hoping that Judge Mershaun in his election interference slash hush money case would dismiss that entire case.

That's what I think he was really hoping.

Or at least put it off for much, much longer than the judge did.

And instead, the judge said, it's starting April 15th.

But at the same time he was there in court by reports

I've read, glowering at the judge and sometimes frankly I think at his own attorneys,

he got some good news that in his civil fraud case,

the appeals court lowered the bond

that he would be required to pay in order

to stay execution of the judgment.

Remember, the judgment's $ million dollars and normally you'd have to put up a bond equal to that but

the appeals division said he could put up a bond of 175 million. Still a lot of money to most of us and gave him 10 days to do it. So we'll talk about those things as well as some other stuff as we get going here.

Yeah, we'll have us sort of at the end sort of what we're keeping an eye out for there various things in the J6 DC case.

Lots to talk about and again, you know, it's so interesting because I was reading yesterday and I got up early to read stuff.

And it's so nice because I could literally tell you what's going on in my head.
