Episode 745: Trump Trial Recap; Republican Wants Gag Orders Outlawed; Did Trump Lie to the FBI?

This week on Ring of Fire!


The defense team rested their case in Donald Trump's hush money
trial a little before noon on Tuesday, and the former President
never took the stand. Trump had promised multiple times that he
would be testifying in his own defense, and the consensus was
that this would be a horrible idea for his trial team. Apparently
he took the advice of his lawyers - and the prevailing legal
scholars - but that doesn't change the fact that he still
chickened out of doing what he said he would do.


Republican Representative Andy Ogles is so angry about the gag
order against Donald Trump that he is pushing legislation that
would make ALL gag orders ILLEGAL in this country. Ogles is part
of a Congress that has achieved the least amount of
accomplishments in the history of this country, and THIS is the
kind of legislation that he is focusing on, rather than actually
trying to do something to help the country.


Mitch McConnell is sick and tired of all the reports about the
corruption of the conservative justices on the Supreme Court, and
this week he came out and said that everyone just needs to leave
the court alone. This comes after last week's report of the
upside down American flag hanging outside Justice Alito's house
following the 2020 election. But there's a reason McConnell wants
everyone to shut up about the court - HE picked these people that
are now under so much scrutiny.


Following the release of court filings this week, Donald Trump
falsely claimed that the FBI, under President Biden's direction,
was given orders that they could assassinate Trump when they
executed the search warrant for government documents at
Mar-a-Lago. This is not true at all and is a complete
misinterpretation of the order, but Trump used it as a
distraction so that people would ignore the fact that the
unsealed documents also said that MORE classified documents were
found at his golf resort months after the FBI conducted their
search.


All that, and much more, on this week's Ring of Fire Podcast!
