Trump Has A Date With His Probation Officer Today
Mitch Landrieu summed it well, saying, "Can we just stop on that fact... A guy that wants to be President of the United States first has to go sit down with his probation officer. That is just an astounding statement."
Indeed.

Former President Trump is scheduled to sit for a virtual interview on Monday with a New York City probation officer from his home at Mar-a-Lago with his attorney Todd Blanche at his side after he was found guilty on all counts in the hush money trial against him last month, three sources familiar with the matter told NBC News.
Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, was convicted last month on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the historic case. The probation interview is required by the court as part of the former president’s pre-sentencing report.
Judge Juan Merchan, who is presiding over the hush money case, permitted Blanche to be present for the probation interview after prosecutors did not object. The Trump defense team is scheduled to submit their sentencing recommendation on June 13.
And what is involved in the meeting and why is it being done over Zoom?
