The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4:

6:05pm- Jonah E. Bromwich and Kate Christbek of The New York Times write: “The Manhattan district attorney’s office and lawyers for Donald J. Trump presented opening statements to jurors on Monday, with prosecutors accusing the former president of entering a criminal conspiracy while the defense sought to discredit two key witnesses. A prosecutor, Matthew Colangelo, began by telling jurors that Mr. Trump had conspired with his former fixer, Michael D. Cohen, and the publisher of The National Enquirer, David Pecker, to conceal damaging stories during his 2016 campaign.” You can read more here: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/04/22/nyregion/trump-hush-money-trial/the-opening-arguments-gave-a-preview-of-how-the-two-sides-will-present-the-case?smid=url-share

6:15pm- Speaking outside of the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse on Monday, former President Donald Trump grilled New York Attorney General Letitia James for her refusal to accept his $175 million bond in a civil fraud case. Later in the day, James agreed to accept the bond after minor modifications.

6:30pm- While appearing on Fox News, Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) said that Congressional reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA)—without new safeguards—is similar to giving a fox the keys to the hen house.  

6:40pm- Irsa Hirsi, the daughter of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and a student at Barnard College at Columbia University, was recently suspended for anti-Israel protests and refusing to leave a makeshift encampment on campus. Despite Jewish leadership at Columbia suggesting that Jewish students are no longer safe on campus due to the threat of violence from radical leftist protesters, Teen Vogue decided to write a glowing piece about Hirsi this weekend. On Monday, Columbia University was forced to hold classes online.
