baseless attempts to deny that he lost the election their behinds is a former prosecutor in the u.s. state of maryland and founder of legal speaks a legal and political issues blog she says that donald trump may continue to try and overturn the election despite losing the lawsuit. i don't count now for trying to just do something else even though it probably won't get anywhere because it is over as of monday when the electoral college meets but we cannot be in the head of donald trump to think what he might try to do next but this was really his last hail mary it was really like child's play i mean what i practice a lot of times you know i have clients and they'll say well we can we do this and i'm like we need proof you can't just say it on a piece of paper and that's basically what the tribal leaders were doing there just basically making allegations on a piece of paper they had no evidence to back it up in the judicial system works in a world that had the evidence and facts to support what your legal premise is so that's the irony of the whole thing i mean for the judicial system i mean you know

they felt that their end of the bargain i mean they have to show that we do have 3 parts of the government and they have done the right that they should did they were not trying to in any way trying to be corrupted by any political means or any political gains that donald trump was trying to do so that light is good but it has basically the morale of those voters who voted for donald trump and who do believe in some way shape or form without any basis in fact that the election was a fraud because their guy didn't win joe biden has unveiled more key picks for his incoming administration many of them of a 1000000 names with close ties to former president barack obama's cabinet heidegger castro has more now from wilmington in delaware. well i think if you asked some progressives they may have been hoping for some new blood here but that is not what president joe biden is going for he is showing definitely a trend of selecting people who he has close relationships with who he has worked

agriculture to have a repeat stint as well as obama's chief of staff denis mcdonough to come back but this time as the secretary of veteran affairs today there were reporters from the country in southeast asia but your 3rd wave was corona virus infections. a surge in global gave me the industry celebrates its success during this year's. that was looking largely dry in quantico secured parts of the middle east a few showers just around the back seats was called seas towards the apostle of around the south of that it is generally settled and following quite a brisk wind blowing through the gulf that's was us haricots a temperature is 2324 celsius as we go on through the next couple of days that
