Objection, nonresponsive.

I had to look up Elie Honig, whose name didn't ring a bell.
Another fact: When NYC DA Alvin Bragg initially elected not to bring the charges against Trump, two of his prosecutors in charge of the investigation resigned. CNN's reporting indicated that the internal debate, among prosecutors in the DA's office, wasn't whether it'd be proper to bring charges — that much seemed to be largely agreed, at least by most of the prosecutors — but whether doing so would be a waste of time and taxpayer money, given the need for a unanimous jury verdict and the expected credibility attacks by Trump's lawyers against key prosecution witness Michael Cohen.
