Former President Trump’s eldest son and daughter have refused to comply with subpoenas issued by the New York State attorney general’s office as it conducts a civil investigation into the way the family real estate business valued its holdings.

In the morning show’s first broadcast of the new year, Kilmeade echoed former president Donald Trump by declaring that there is just “too much testing” going on. “There’s way too much testing!” he exclaimed, adding, nonsensically, “There’s testing to do testing, testing to go back to school, testing to go back to work, we can’t afford it!”

I Love This Idea To Grow Bamboo In Florida
