NY AG Laticia James Gets Trump to Talk and Jury Kept Anonymous in Trump Rape Trial

Alvin Bragg suing Congressman Jim Jordan for disrupting his investigation of defendant Trump in the Stormy Daniels hush-money case. Then he discusses Trump answering questions during his deposition to Attorney General Laticia James in the New York civil fraud case. Glenn wonders if Trump talked during his deposition - did he lie under oath and commit perjury? Next, Glenn says it's even more LOSING for Trump as a judge once again denies his request to learn the identity of his own jury in the E Jean Carroll rape case.
