Pres Trump in this 46 minute video he just released says this might be the most important speech he has ever given.

What's clear is that it might be one of his most dishonest speeches he's ever given. He's making baseless claims that courts, the AG & DHS have said didn't happen.
Wisconsin has already certified its vote.

But, Trump keeps saying he "miraculously" and "unexpectedly" lost when the mail in ballots were counted. He even brings out charts in this video showing how he lost.

But, it's clear Biden supporters were more inclined to vote by mail.
Pres Trump, who reports say is looking at possibly pardoning himself and family members, has his eyes set on legal problems in NY: "I hear that the same people who failed to get me in Washington have sent every piece of information to NY so that they can try to get me there."
President Trump says toward the end of this video: "Ultimately, I am prepared to accept any accurate election result and I hope that Joe Biden is as well."

It's obvious but note: The results are already in. President-elect Joe Biden won.

Over & over again, Pres Trump has claimed many of the people protesting are part of a domestic terrorist movement.

Over & over again, I have talked to many protesters who tell me they are demanding equality for all people including black people. Here are some of their stories.
Lisa Brown, of Maryland, came to BLM Plaza outside the WH to protest against no officers being charged directly with the killing Breonna Taylor. "She didn't have a chance to fight for her freedom. We have to fight for our own freedom now … That could have been me, my daughter."
Lisa Brown added this about the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg: "I prayed that she would last until after the election. I am so afraid because I have grandchildren ... and what’s going on now is going to affect them more so than it is going to affect me. ... It’s unfair."

Jacob Blake’s dad at the March on Washington told me:
“They didn't treat my son like a human. They treated my son like an animal. He was shooting my son while he was pulling my son's shirt to get him closer to him. What sense does that make?”

pbs.org/newshour/show/…
Jacob Blake’s dad said he felt a responsibility to come to the March on Washington today because his father went to the original march in 1963.

He said he had planned to come to the march with his son. “And then this happened. So I said I cannot not be because of this.”
I asked Jacob Blake’s father what he made of the fact that 57 years after his father marched in Washington alongside MLK that his son and his father's grandfather was laying in a hospital. He said, "That's how diabolical chattel slavery was to us as brown and black people."

Steve Bannon & three associates were indicted by investigators at the U.S. Southern District of NY. Prosecutors allege the group of conservative leaders defrauded donors and that led to raising "more than $25 million to build a wall along the southern border of the United States.
The 24-page indictment says Steve Bannon received more than $1 million and used the money to pay for hundreds of thousands of dollars in personal expenses after the "We Build The Wall" campaign claimed all money would toward their "mission and purpose" of building the wall.
Prosecutors allege Steve Bannon and his three associates routed payments from the wall campaign through a non-profit and another shell company and disguised them with fake invoices and sham vendor arrangements to help keep their personal pay secret.

DHS Sec Chad Wolf at a briefing is defending the use of DHS officials to arrest protesters in Portland. He says they are there for two reasons: 1) “violent criminal activity” for 52 days 2) “lack of action” from city law enforcement

Oregon Gov says there is no need for them. Image
"We will not retreat," says Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf of the DHS officials arresting protesters in Portland.

He says officials are only arresting people who are committing criminal acts which he says have been occurring between midnight and 4/5 a.m.
Kate Brown, governor of Oregon, says she spoke with DHS Secretary Chad Wolf last week. She said, "I asked them to leave, and that their presence here was not needed."

Wolf insists DHS officials need to police streets to protect the federal courthouse.

Fulton County District Attorney Paul L. Howard, Jr. is announcing charges in the death of Rayshard Brooks.

He says officials spoke to three witnesses and reviewed eight videos of the shooting.

Howard says his office is issuing warrants today.
Howard says this is the 9th time his office has prosecuted a case against officers related to a homicide. Nine cases were for killing black men and one was for killing a black woman.
Fulton County DA Paul Howard: For 41 minutes and 17 seconds Rayshard Brooks followed all instructions. He was also never told he was being arrested for driving under the influence which police are required to do.

"Mr. Brooks never presented himself as a threat," Howard says.

NEW: Dwayne L. Palmer & his mother, Rose, were among the families who met w/ Pres Trump for about an hour. Palmer told me Trump was sympathetic but used a lot of "platitudes." "Kind words," he said. "But, speaking for my family, we are beyond kind words. We want to see action.”
Palmer, whose brother Everett died mysteriously in a PA prison, told me this about not wanting to be pictured w/ Pres Trump: "We didn’t want to be used in a photo-op as an opportunity to kind of divert this discussion -- by having black and brown faces next to the president."
Palmer told me families of loved ones killed by police or in racially charged incidents didn't want to be Trump's "props." He said he didn't want Trump to have "the opportunity to claim some sort of victory."

He added, "We're willing to give him credit once the work is done."
