charlie gasparino has been following this. charlie? for what it's worth. he did work for twitter. twitter says he's a disgruntled former employees. he's making outrageous claims. if it's accurate, twitter faces more problems than the elon musk trauma. this is sec, enronesque stuff at large. he says he has evidence that twitter over the years has essentially fudged the numbers on how many bots that it has to sell ads. it's doing this essentially what musk is alleging, but he claims to be on the inside. if that is true, neil, we're talking a scandal that sun believable. if this is true and he has good evidence, this will be cut in half. it says that for years in public disclosures, twitter misled the investing public. that is securities fraud and could be criminal securities fraud. depending on the level of foreknowledge and intent that they can prove. again, you have to prove intent. twitter says this is all a bunch of baloney and this guy is a disgruntled employee. he's not given us any evidence just yet. he knows this goes on and he w

charlie gasparino has been all over the story. >> sold six billion dollars worth of stock. liz: nearly seven. >> close to seven. i think if you totaled it it is 35 since the beginning of this this -- liz: billion. >> billion. he is almost at the ask price he put down, 44 billion. he sold 35 billion worth of stock. that is significant. here is what i can tell you, liz, i'm bouncing stuff off bankers before they stalemated. it is over in the chancery court right now. everyone of them say they think it is going to get done. they think it will get done on a lesser price. not significantly lesser price but they think the two sides will come together at some point. you know, if you look at the stock, we should put a stock chart up of twitter today. liz: they're both up 3%. >> that is kind of where people think it will end up. i think he has to pay more. i think he pays close to 50 but that is about in the range. if the market thought twitter would not be sold to musk right now that stock would be significantly lower. it would be in the 30s. liz: he didn't want to be forced to do

charlie gasparino joining us now. what are you hearing?arget which would essentially mean a bunch more rate increases of the 75 basis point variety to get it above some level that you bring inflation down. it's, what, at 8.1% now? or 8.5. david: yeah, 8.5. although the wholesale prices are high or. >> so there is a debate going on, and here's what i'm hearing. this is kind of -- it's why i never give advice. i can just tell you what i'm hearing. a lot of people believe that he will pause after one more. he will hike it 75 basis points, we'll have a if.25 -- 3.25 fed funds rate, i believe, and then pause and watch. now, that's what i think is factoring in the market. now, does that mean that we've dealt with inflation, that there won't be any more rate increases? there's a lot of people on the other side of that trade saying he may do that, but he's going to have to come back to the well. because inflation is still pretty high. despite low gas prices, a lot of that is recession-related, people are just not -- gas is too high -- david: deman

this just came in from charlie gasparino that goes to exactly what you're talking about.coop, donald trump and his legal team will seek a court order to force the fbi and a justice department to turn over a physical copy of a search warrant, the affidavit and the inventory of what was taken in the mar-a-largo raid. that would suggest their take is that they did not receive full disclosure on those things or what they got was a computer version or it was too vague. they want hard copies of all of that. we'll see where that goes. have to leave it there. thanks very much, geraldo and mark. we'll be talking about this. another huge bust of deadly fentanyl crossing our border to poison america, which is happening every day and it's a story that you will only see here on "the story." that's next. hi, i'm steve and i live in austin, texas. i work as a personal assistant to the owner of a large manufacturing firm. i've got anywhere from 10 to 50 projects going at any given time. i absolutely have to be sharp. let me tell ya, i was struggling with my memory. it was going downhill.
