KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true?

HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart--

Massie: "The president has been saying this is a hoax. Well, he's just now decided to investigate a hoax, if it's a hoax. And I have another concern about these investigations he's announced.

As more and more files come out, Ghislaine Maxwell has less and less leverage for a pardon or commutation. Things are really going to start heating up.
