In phone call tonight, President Trump told me this about the death of Ayatollah Khamenei:
"I got him before he got me. They tried twice. Well I got him first."
That’s a reference to what US intelligence believes was a plot to kill Trump in 2024.
“He loved his country, but he hated what people were doing to it.”
How I started @ThisWeekABC this morning
It didn’t take much time. Did you see the whole interview?

And 2) Do you think Mayor Frey is incapable of answering such a question or is it possible that he may have actually appreciated the opportunity to push back against those who attacked him?

Hard to overstate what a remarkable statement this is from a Republican senator — even a retiring one — accusing thte Trump White House of weaponizing DOJ to control the Fed:
"It is now the independence and credibility of the Department of Justice that are in question."

Jack Smith spent more than 8 hours answering questions in a closed-door deposition before the House Judiciary Committee on Dec 17
It’s worth watching — you can see why Smith wanted to testify publicly — and why the committee waited until New Year’s Eve to release the video
