“But are Trump’s legal problems going to be part of your campaign against him?” she asked.
“No,” Richmond said in response.
“Those emails go out – you know, you get five and six of them a day. So, I wouldn’t read much into that,” Richmond added.
“Even though it was the Fulton County Jail’s opening day. Okay,” Raddatz chuckled and continued the interview.

By Sunday, 5.9 million people had seen Biden’s message, which infuriated the GOP and its allies.
Ben Shapiro, Editor Emeritus of Daily Wire, was one of those who criticized the message, saying, “Look at the timing on this tweet: precisely the time set for Trump’s arrest last night. Trump says that this is election interference; Biden says it isn’t. This tweet is pretty good evidence Trump is right. Biden is now saying the quiet part out loud.”
Despite facing indictments in four separate counts, Donald Trump recently had his first mugshot taken during his processing in Atlanta last week. The campaign swiftly transformed the image into a means of soliciting funds, utilizing its website to sell items. This strategy purportedly resulted in a substantial financial gain, amounting to millions of dollars during the subsequent 48-hour period.
Donald Trump was granted release from custody in the state of Georgia upon posting a bond amounting to $200,000.
The anticipated arraignment of the ex-president and a group of over twelve associates, scheduled for the beginning of the next month, pertains to allegations of conspiracy and racketeering in connection with the 2020 electoral process. President Trump has consistently and categorically refuted any allegations of misconduct in relation to the several criminal and civil proceedings he is now involved in.
