ALERT: Today, closing arguments begin in the Sean “Diddy” Combs sex trafficking trial. I asked criminal defense attorney, Donna Rotunno, if the defense poked enough holes in the prosecution’s case to raise reasonable doubt. #seancombs #diddy #sextraffickingtrial #donnarotunno

BREAKING: Iran has fired 10 missiles at two U.S. bases in the Middle East. In the meantime, how concerned should we be about Iran potentially retaliating against the U.S. on our homeland after the bombings of their nuclear sites over the weekend?
