You already know what occurred, and also you’re attempting to control the media. The encounter in query happened in the course of the day at her invitation, and now that seems to be a deliberate setup.”

Sharpe didn’t deal with the audio that Buzbee put out … although he ended his video by proclaiming he will drag the lawyer and his shopper to court docket for “defamation and attempting to take me down.”

“I do know my household and followers know precisely what that is about,” the Professional Soccer Corridor of Famer stated. “And I’ll be on the market telling you no matter I must say, similar to I at all times do. I like all you guys. Thanks.”
