But when will all that clarify?  Almost surely by this summer, and probably even very soon. This will allow the DC trial involving Special Prosecutor Jack Smith / Judge Tanya Chutkan to proceed some time this summer. About thos

Carroll was one of 13 women who accused CBS Corporation executive Les Moonves of sexual assault in 2019.  Occurred in the
