Inside Edition for Monday, February 17, 2025

It's Donald Trump’s 77th birthday, and it comes just the day after he became the first president in history to face federal charges. Now we're learning there was a major drama right after he plead not guilty to mishandling classified documents. During a stop at a Miami sandwich stop a reporter yelled out a question Trump's supporters didn't like, so she ended up being dragged out of the restaurant. Steven Fabian has details. And the laws are supposed to apply to everyone, and when a sheriff's deputy spotted a local cop doing 80 miles an hour in a 45 mile an hour zone, he did what he'd do to any such driver - he pulled him over. That's when the fireworks started. Plus, here's a word you may have never heard before: touron. It's a tourist who acts like a moron. There are plenty of examples of them out there, but this guy has been such a fool, that Les Trent says there's now a manhunt to find him. And back in the 80's, more than half of all retail sales were in malls. Today malls around the country are closing, and the owners of the biggest mall in San Francisco now say they’re done. In part because of changing consumer habits, but also because rising crime has left shop keepers and shoppers no longer feeling safe.

Donald Trump was escorted by motorcade to a Miami courthouse today where he became the first president in history to face federal charges - all in connection to allegations he mishandled highly sensitive documents. Police said they were ready for anything, and that included massive traffic jams, a bomb scare, and a gathering of trump supporters and detractors that turned out to be much smaller than expected. In addition, at one point Fox News reported former First Lady Melania Trump was at her husband's side... but it was a case of mistaken identity. As Ann Mercogliano reports, it's believed Mrs. Trump was more than a thousand miles away in New York where yesterday she was spotted having her hair done and going to the dentist. Plus, he nearly died trying to save his son and his niece in a rip tide. For weeks it was touch and go with former NFL player Peyton Hillis being put on a ventilator. Now, in his first TV interview since - he says there's no doubt in his mind, it's a miracle he's alive. And here hasn't been an incident in its more than 40-year history, and authorities are still trying to figure out why a tourist boat with 29 people on board capsized in an underground cave near the Erie Canal. It’s an accident that left one man dead. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
