    He's not wrong, but Christie isn't one to talk.

    People shouldn't fake Trump Truths. He's so far out there, its impossible to detect satire. And to confirm if he really did post something, you'd have to sign-on to Truth Social, which normal people don't want to have to do.

    One of the big winners of.


    could be the twice-impeached / recently indicted former president Donald J. Trump.

    Trump has established significant financial ties with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the LIV Golf tour -- financed by the country's sovereign wealth fund -- has
    staged several events at Trump-owned golf courses over its two seasons of existence.

    Now, with the rival tours in alignment, Trump and his family businesses stand to gain even more prestige, influence and money as a result of the merger.
    It may ultimately lead to one of his long-sought goals: to have a Trump course host one of the four major championships in men's professional golf.

    While he was president, Trump maintained especially close ties with Saudi Arabia and its royal family. His first foreign visit after he took office was to Saudi Arabia.
    He also downplayed the kingdom's role in the assassination of Washington Post reporter Jamal Khashoggi, who was highly critical of the Saudi government in his writings.

    Shortly after Trump left office in 2021, his son-in-law Jared Kushner struck a $2 billion deal with the Saudi Public Investment Fund to finance a new investment firm Kushner created,
    The New York Times and The Washington Post reported.

    The PIF, which also runs LIV Golf, provided the financial backing that allowed the tour to attract top PGA Tour stars with guaranteed contracts totaling $100 million or more
    and provide tournament payouts approaching $25 million.

    Leticia James says this case will probably be adjourned because the federal document case ranks higher obviously but some legal analysts on msnbc, not all, said she maybe signaling she has a weak case

    Are you referring to the Trump Org fraud case being expanded to prosecute Trump himself? That’s all I believe James has on her investigative plate, and the Trump org has already been found guilty. So it might be that she’s just saying that it’s adjourned for now because he’s unofficially already convicted for those crimes anyways so it’s just a matter of technicality the state might be eventually seeking.

    I think you are confusing Manhattan DA Bragg’s indictment with Leticia James state indictment of Trump org. If James’ case was weak Trump org wouldn’t have already have been found guilty. There’s almost no separation between Trump org and Trump himself.

    DA Bragg’s case isn’t getting adjourned. Trial is already set and that train has left the station. Bragg is not dropping the charges.
