➡️ Contrary to rumors you may have heard on the internet, President Trump is alive and well — but his administration isn’t necessarily having a good day.
The “crime crackdown” in Washington D.C. has hit a snag as local federal grand juries are refusing to indict many of the people targeted by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro.
