Trump & Twitter: from 'Letters from an American'

https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/november-4-2022

TRUMP:
'Trump’s dangling of a presidential bid is almost certainly related to his looming legal troubles. Yesterday, his ally Kash Patel testified with limited immunity before a grand jury investigating the handling of the classified documents Trump took to Mar-a-Lago, meaning he had the option of testifying honestly without penalties or lying and risking perjury charges on this topic. Patel has maintained he is a hostile witness, but there is reason to think he will not shield Trump. Constitutional lawyer and law professor Laurence Tribe commented: “This will break the dam.”'

TWITTER:
'In the midst of all this drama, the social media site Twitter, which was recently acquired by entrepreneur Elon Musk, appears to be imploding. Advertisers are fleeing, and this morning the company fired a raft of employees, apparently illegally in many jurisdictions because he did not give them the warning that laws require. They are now suing.'

Here's a report on the lawsuit: https://www.reuters.com/legal/twitter-sued-mass-layoffs-bloomberg-news-2022-11-04/

If they do as they say it will be front page news.

Marcia Cross was fired yesterday by MSNBC. I am waiting to see what happens at 10.
