Nothing will change, Trump will still be in office for the next three years.

Trump Cult members, conservatives, Republicans, others on the blind partisan right will ignore the facts and truth.

The rest of America will just shrug in acknowledgement of the fact that the wealthy and powerful can never be brought to justice.

Where they went over it pretty thoroughly.
In the same segment they also highlighted the new reports on the epstein files and finished out the hour with the ice barbie new years eve party.
Than they went onto Venezuela in the second segment. They are now addressing his health an apparently trumps claim of yet another cognitive test.

The problem as I see it is there is so much going on with this administration that it is hard to cover everything immediately.

Ms now is making a pretty good effort in my opinion.
