The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4:
6:05pm- Ben Protess and William K. Rashbaum of The New York Times write: “The New York judge presiding over one of Donald J. Trump’s criminal trials imposed a gag order on Tuesday that prohibits him from attacking witnesses, prosecutors and jurors, the latest effort to rein in the former president’s wrathful rhetoric about his legal opponents. The judge, Juan M. Merchan, imposed the order at the request of the Manhattan district attorney’s office, which brought the case against Mr. Trump. The district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, has accused Mr. Trump of covering up a potential sex scandal during and after his 2016 campaign.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/26/nyregion/trump-trial-gag-order.html
6:10pm- At 1:30am on Tuesday, a shipping vessel lost power causing it to collide with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland—causing the bridge to collapse. Governor Wes Moore said the preliminary investigation “points to an accident” and that he hadn’t seen any “credible evidence of a terrorist attack.” Speaking from the White House Tuesday afternoon, President Joe Biden echoed similar statements and vowed that the federal government “will pay for the entire cost of reconstructing the bridge.”
6:20pm- BREAKING NEWS- Joe Flint and Isabella Simonetti write: “NBC News cut ties with Ronna McDaniel mere days after it hired the former Republican National Committee chairwoman as a contributor, a dramatic about-face that followed a very public rebuke from some of its biggest stars. The move, which was announced Tuesday afternoon in a memo, caps a frantic four days for NBC News, which had looked to bring in a conservative voice to its political coverage ahead of the presidential election but instead became the target of broad condemnations from observers and employees alike.” You can read the full story here: https://www.wsj.com/business/media/ronna-mcdaniel-nbc-610d30bc?mod=hp_lead_pos1
