  1. Trump tried to rewrite his father's will in 1990 to strengthen his position as the only person to inherit his father's estate. But Fred Trump foiled the attempt, as he feared his son could strip his estate and use it to rescue his own failing businesses, The Times reported, citing depositions and other documents it obtained. Trump had sent his father a document that would make him the sole executor of the estate and protect his portion of his inheritance from creditors and his impending divorce settlement. Despite his father's will having already been written by a top real estate lawyer, Trump had his own lawyers draft a new copy and sent it to his father in December 1990. Trump sent his father the 12-page document and asked him to sign it immediately. Fred Trump, then 85, and in the hospital, had not seen the document before, and saw the move as an attempt to go behind his back. He showed the document to his daughter Maryanne Trump Barry, a federal judge at the time. She recalled in her deposition that he told her, "This doesn't pass the smell test," The Times reported. Then Fred Trump had lawyers draft new documents stripping his son of sole control of the estate. Notes from those lawyers cited by The Times show that Fred Trump's instructions were to "protect assets from DJT, Donald's creditors." Sworn depositions made by unnamed members of the Trump family during a dispute over Donald Trump's nieces' and nephews' inheritance were obtained by The Times. Those depositions showed that Fred Trump believed the document his son wanted him to sign would put his vast business empire at risk. Had his father signed the document, which he did not, it also would have given Donald Trump sole control over his dying father's estate. Fred Trump was, according to the sworn Trump family testimonies obtained by The Times, angered by his son's attempt to rewrite his own will without his prior knowledge or consent. If Trump would do this to his own father and siblings, what do you think he would do to the country and the American people? If Trump's own father and siblings couldn't trust him, why on earth should the American people trust him?

  2. Fox is desperately trying to convinced it's sheeple that they shouldn't watch the hearings because of how boring it is. Fox says the hearings have been boring because there's no fight scenes, no gun shootouts, no martial arts, no alien invasions,  no sex, no explosions, and no Thanos. Instead of all of that, the only thing your going to see is the corroborated evidence of Trump's bribery, abuse of power, and obstruction of justice.
