 NBCOn Wednesday morning, President Joe Biden officially offered to debate Donald Trump, and the former president quickly accepted. The first of two presidential debates is scheduled for June 27, and Trump himself has seemed confident over his upcoming appearance. As he posted on Truth Social, "Crooked Joe Biden is the WORST debater I have ever faced - He can't put two sentences together!"
But as Late Night host Seth Meyers argued in his latest "Closer Look" segment, Trump's debate skills aren't so hot either. Meyers played a montage of Trump's rudest, most incoherent moments in the 2020 debates, remarking, "Trump thinks that made him look good… Even Mike Lindell saw that and was like, ‘whoa, you sound crazy.'"
Meyers noted how Trump agreed to Biden's debate conditions, which included no live audience. "I don't need to tell you that Trump thrives when he's screaming over a live audience," Meyers said. "Biden getting Trump to agree to no audiences is like getting a vampire to agree to fight you at noon on the beach during the garlic festival."

 Fox NewsIt didn't take long at all for some of Fox News' most-watched hosts to frame next month's debate between President Joe Biden and Donald Trump, which was announced Wednesday morning, as unfair to the presumptive GOP nominee.
On The Ingraham Angle, Jesse Watters Primetime and Hannity, each host made a point to depict the moderators of the CNN debate, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, in a negative light.
Laura Ingraham began by claiming the Biden campaign was in need of a "game changer," and they "hope they will get it with the help of" Tapper and Bash, two hard news anchors whose approach to broadcasting differs entirely from the Fox News model.

Donald Trump's ex-fixer offered key evidence about the former president's involvement in the New York hush money trial, but also has past credibility issues.

In the historic criminal hush money election fraud trial of former President Donald Trump, New York prosecutors are wrapping up their case charging Trump with falsifying business records in an illegal effort to influence the 2016 presidential election. On Tuesday, Trump's former fixer Michael Cohen admitted he misled the Federal Election Commission about hush money payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels. In cross-examination, defense attorneys tried to suggest Cohen was motivated by vengeance against Trump. "He's the one who has firsthand knowledge of the actual deal that he and Donald Trump struck in order to pay the hush money, create a phony retainer, and ultimately falsify the business records," says criminal defense lawyer Ron Kuby. "The boss betrayed him. And now he, indeed, is out for revenge." Kuby says Trump and his right-wing allies are using the trial as a backdrop for politics, and discusses the possibility of Trump serving prison time. Kuby is also representing climate crisis activists arrested at Citibank headquarters in New York City during Earth Week last month and pro-Palestinian activists arrested at recent protests at Fordham University and SUNY Purchase. "I tend to view these struggles … as perennial struggles with each generation kind of rising up to do their part," Kuby says. "I just have mad respect for the young people who are literally risking their education, their careers and their futures to stand up for the planet, to stand up against the slaughter in Gaza."
