'I've left more than enough evidence behind': Friend of Nashville shooter opens up about final texts
March 28, 2023
The last person to speak to Nashville, Tennessee mass shooter Audrey Hale was childhood friend Averianna Patton, who played basketball with the shooter when she was younger. Patton received an Instagram private message from the killer at 9:57 in the morning, 16 minutes before the 911 call by Covenant School.
"I wanted to tell you first because you are the most beautiful person I've ever seen and known in my life," said the message from Hale, who also identified as male and used the name "Aiden" on some social media accounts. "One day this will make more sense. I've left more than enough evidence behind."
On CNN Tuesday, anchor Erin Burnett discussed that experience with her.
"I can only imagine the shock that you feel and having received this and, in a sense, been so close to it," said Burnett. "What more can you tell me about these messages that you received from the shooter? I mean, when you receive the messages in that moment. How did it even make you feel to get these messages?"
"I was just, like, shocked," said Patton. "And initially I was, you know, trying to comfort her. But soon as I got it, it was just like, this is strange. Let me send this to my daddy. I screenshot to him. I was like, do I call somebody? He was like, yes, and I was like, okay. Who do I call, like, how do I deal with something like this? Like so then he was like, call the suicide prevention. And then that's when I started that process of trying to reach out, right?"
ALSO IN THE NEWS: Is this the real reason Trump keeps making vapid jokes about parents hating their kids?
"You did, I know, call suicide prevention," said Burnett. "And this one part: 'One day this will make more sense.' At this point, from what you know, does any of this make any more sense to you?"
"I mean, it's just, I'm just still completely mind-boggled, like none of this makes sense," said Patton. "Like, I just wouldn't never imagined this. Like this is crazy."

Fox hosts ridiculed on MSNBC for being exposed as Trump's foes while crawling back to him for ratings
March 28, 2023
"Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em," MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace said showing clips of former President Donald Trump speaking to Fox News host Sean Hannity this week.
Court documents in the Dominion lawsuit against Fox, Hannity was revealed to have been among those who tried to fire a fact-checker.
"The twice-impeached ex-president who is under a lot of legal scrutiny, as Sean Hannity just said, and Fox News, which is facing a lot of legal scrutiny," said Wallace. Trump, she said, "appeared last night with Sean Hannity, who is an important figure in the $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit. The ex-president, interestingly, went on that network's airwaves and pedaled his bogus and disproven election conspiracies at the heart of that suit. He called the multiple criminal investigations into his actions before, during, and after his presidency an effort at rebranding. We think, Donald Trump is a master of projection. His delusions and rantings, and conspiracies about a deep state, the election, and Democrats aside, the timing of Trump's appearance on Fox News is notable because it comes at a time when efforts by Dominion to hold Fox News accountable for the lies it broadcast on its programs exposed how those at Fox News privately dismissed and disparaged and despised Trump and his election fraud claims."
MSNBC contributor Jeremy Peters cited the information revealed in the lawsuit that Fox was suffering from a significant rating drop that freaked out everyone in the network from the top executives to hosts worried about their stock.
"This is important," Wallace interrupted. "This is important. Explain this. I mean, Fox News became the juggernaut that it is during the Clinton/Obama presidency."
"Exactly. Roger Ailes, the former CEO and co-founder of the network, told people it was better for Fox to have a Democrat in the White House than a Republican because Fox always got ignored by Republican administrations," said Peters. "He felt like the Bush administration, in particular, kind of pushed Fox to the side, we don't need to worry about you. It also kind of bored their audience. they weren't as interested because it wasn't adversarial television. To have a Democrat in the White House, that was good television, combative, and made them such a ratings powerhouse. Since 2022, they have never not been number one in the ratings. Now they are, in the most recent quarter, not just the biggest, or the most highly rated network in cable news but all of cable. Think about that for a minute."

Donald Trump's lawyers motioned for a summary judgment in the E. Jean Carroll case. If approved, it would mean that the judge would look at nothing more than the evidence presented and the statements given and make a ruling based on that.
In a new filing on Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan denied Trump's motion.
"The contrasts between Mr. Trump’s assertions in his Carroll I answer and his October 12 statement show that a reasonable juror could find that his statement had a different effect on a reader than his denials and affirmative defense in his answer," the judge wrote. "For one, 'a reasonable juror could find that [Mr.] Trump was complaining of a far broader and more corrosive conspiracy than anything that was at issue in Carroll I in October 2022,' including based on his statements that Ms. Carroll 'completely made up a story' that is a 'Hoax' and 'changed her story from beginning to end [(in an interview where she was promoting her book)]. .. to suit the purposes of CNN and And [erson] Cooper,' along with his comments about the judiciary and Ms. Carroll's counsel."
The judge explained that the court doesn't decide whether Trump's statement is or isn't "fair and true."

The Court need not and does not now decide the ultimate issue of whether Mr. Trump's statement is or is not a "fair and true."
"It suffices for the purpose of denying summary judgment that a reasonable jury could find so as a matter of fact. For the foregoing reasons, Mr. Trump's motion for partial summary judgment is denied," the 22-page document closes.
