00:00Lindsay Halligan, President Trump's handpicked U.S. attorney responsible for the indictment of

00:04former FBI Director James Comey, has admitted to a trial judge that the full grand jury

00:10never saw the final version of the charges leveled against the disgraced lawman.

00:15Excuse me, what? That is not how the grand jury system works. Halligan revised the charges against

00:23Comey after the grand jury couldn't agree on one of them, and she told U.S. District Judge

00:28Michael Nachmanoff that when she presented the new version, quote, the foreperson and another

00:34grand juror was also present, but apparently not the rest of the group. And grand juries function

00:42similarly to a trial jury, so picture only two out of the 12 hearing a whole case before rendering a

00:49verdict. The judge actually called Halligan a, quote, puppet for President Trump. And another

00:55prosecutor insisted, though, that the revised indictment was only slightly changed from the

01:00original. Still, that's a change. But one of Comey's defense attorneys called for the case to be thrown

01:05out, claiming that the indictment had not been properly secured by the full grand jury before

01:10the statute of limitations expired. And if you'll remember, this came down to the wire. The expiration

01:17date was just a few days after Comey was charged. Now, this latest development is somewhat related to

01:23that issue I told you about earlier this week. Another U.S. judge had ordered Halligan to turn

01:28over all the grand jury documents that are kept under seal. The feds argued against that order,

01:33and that's how they ended up here on Wednesday, with the possibility that this whole thing could

01:39just get tossed out. Now, after Wednesday's back and forth, Halligan told the Post in part, quote,

01:44personal attacks like Judge Nachmanoff referring to me as a puppet don't change the facts or the law.

01:50My focus remains on the record and the law, and I will continue to fulfill my responsibilities

01:55with professionalism. President Clinton's former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers has resigned his

02:01post on the board of OpenAI, that's the company behind ChatGBT, after the revelation that his

02:06relationship with the deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was much more extensive than previously

02:12thought. It also prompted another one of Summers' employers, Harvard University, to launch a probe

02:18into not only his behavior, but any other ties between Epstein and Harvard faculty. Emails released

02:25last week showed that Summers emailed with Epstein frequently in 2017, 2018, and 2019. That's after

02:33his pedophile conviction, for those of you who are keeping track. Summers, who served as Harvard's

02:38president from 2001 to 2006, announced this week that he would be stepping back from public commitments

02:43thanks to this Epstein-related drama, but said that he would continue to teach economics courses at the

02:48Ivy League University. A massive law enforcement dragnet in Florida, dubbed Operation Home for the

02:55Holidays, recovered 122 missing children and led to six arrests. Authorities say that over the course of

03:02two weeks, they were able to rescue the children who were between 23 months and 17 years old. Yes,

03:07the youngest, just shy of two years old. Now, the effort even went beyond the Sunshine State as well,

03:14and children in nine additional states were also rescued, but the exact numbers there just aren't

03:18available yet. Law enforcement used real-time intelligence and field operations to locate these

03:24missing children. And officials note that, heartbreakingly, many of them experienced some

03:29kind of abuse, neglect, exploitation, or exposure to criminal activity. The identities of the six people

03:35arrested in the operation were not made available, but Florida's attorney general said in a statement,

03:39quote, many of these kids have been victimized in unspeakable ways. We will prosecute their abusers

03:46to the fullest extent of the law. For more on this story and everything else you could possibly want
