In this pilot episode of America on Trial, your host Josh Hammer introduces the show and takes us "around the horn" from Fulton County, Georgia DA Fani Willis' scandalous corruption to New York Attorney General Letitia James' misplaced "fraud" vendetta, and elsewhere. Josh then does a deep dive on Friday's outrageous and likely unconstitutional award of $83.3 million in defamation damages, including $65 million in punitive damages, levied against President Donald Trump.
