Notable Quote:
Ben Meiselas [03:00]: "Donald Trump's approval right now. Some polls have him in the mid 30s. The best polling he has right now is in the low 40s. It's the worst polling of anybody at this time in presidential history."
Special Prosecutor and Ongoing Investigations
Ben discusses the potential appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate Trump's alleged involvement in covering up the Epstein files and connections to pedophilic networks. This move underscores the severity of the allegations and the unrelenting scrutiny Trump faces.
