b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 The years-long, ongoing Trump Crime Spree continues to implode. A federal court rejected Sen. Lindsey Graham's (R-SC) attempt to quash a grand jury subpoena for his testimony in the Fulton County, Georgia probe of Trump's conspiracy to steal the 2020 election. The Fulton County, GA District Attorney also informed Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani that he is now a 'target' in the investigation and is likely to face criminal indictment. The FBI and DHS issued a joint bulletin warning of an 'unprecedented' surge in far-right extremist threats to law enforcement and government officials in the wake of the FBI's court-approved search at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago to retrieve classified national security documents stolen by Trump. Congressional Republicans escalate their efforts and move goalposts in attempting to defend Trump's indefensible, unlawful theft of government documents. Justice Department rejects calls to release the original sealed affidavit finding 'probable cause' that Trump violated several laws, arguing release would 'harm' ongoing investigations. NBC reports that the Trump Organization's Chief Financial Officer, Allen Weisselberg, is preparing to plead guilty to criminal fraud charges brought by the Manhattan District Attorney against the Trump family business.\\xa0 Also today: Author Salman Rushdie 'on road to recovery' after an assailant attacked and critically wounded him.\\xa0 Callers ring on all of the above..."
