A couple of nights ago, Lawrence vowed that he was not going to cover what trump wants him to cover. Trump wants the media to cover the Kirk murder and to blame Democrats. So he barely covered it that night except to point out that Democrats were not to blame and that Rs are responsible for more violence than Democrats. Then on to Epstein and other stories.

Last night he covered the self-dealing story that was featured in the NYT, about how the Trump family is enriching themselves with the help of the UAE. It was (is) a huge story that was largely ignored on other cable shows. Really mind blowing, and well documented. It is the story that prompted trump's ridiculous lawsuit. Lawrence interviewed the reporter.

Lawrence knows that you cannot let trump determine what should be the story of the day. Unfortunately, most of the WH press corps is more than willing to do so. But the stories that he doesn't want covered are the real stories that make a difference in the lives of the American people.
