Gotta love this writer for getting & completing a phone interview w/DJT this morning, &, trying his best to make sense of the typical gobbledegook that falls out his mouth.
That being said, evidently making death threats against US politicians simply wasn’t enough for him.

Reporter: We have 3 videos, 2 breathalyzers, 4 bartenders, and a minivan full of nuns attesting to how the driver was drunk and reckless when he hit the school bus.
Weiss; What did the driver say.
Reporter: He and his lawyer won’t talk. We asked them 5 times.
