Today's Friday, October 25th.
Here's what we're covering.
Donald Trump says that if he's elected, he will immediately fire special counsel Jack Smith, the prosecutor who's pursuing cases against him for allegedly plotting to overturn the 2020 election and illegally holding onto classified materials.
It's so easy I would fire him within two seconds.
The former president made the comments in an interview with the conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt on Thursday.
This is the first time that Trump has said he would step in to personally stop the cases, though it's been assumed the charges would be abandoned if he's elected.
They will impeach you again on day one if you fire Jack Smith or you pardon yourself.
Are you prepared to be impeached again and again and again if they have the House?
Because they just will.
No, I don't think they'll impeach me if I fire Jack Smith.
Jack Smith is counsel.
Trump also said he didn't think the House of Representatives would impeach him if he fires Smith, effectively daring the House to try.
