Mike Pence Rejects Idea He Could Have Rejected 2020 Vote Count: “President Trump Is Wrong”

Jennifer Maas TV Business WriterShowtime’s upcoming “The First Lady” anthology series is described as “a revelatory reframing of American leadership, told through the lens of the women at the heart of the White House.” While the first season focuses on icons Michelle Obama (played by Viola Davis), Betty Ford (Michelle Pfeiffer) and Eleanor Roosevelt (Gillian Anderson), the executive producers are not opposed to a potential future season including possibly the most divisive first lady: Melania Trump.During a virtual panel promoting the show at the Television Critics Association’s press tour Wednesday, “The First Lady” showrunner Cathy Schulman and director and executive producer Susanne Bier playfully tossed a reporter’s question about featuring President Donald Trump’s wife as subject before Bier answered definitively, but with a laugh: “Look, I do think that the series could do with a fun season — so let’s talk about that.” Star Anderson, who was sitting on the panel alongside co-star Davis, added: “I think the hope is that there’s going to be future seasons and there will be the opportunity to have many, many more first ladies represented. So maybe not just four — but maybe 104.”But Bier says that no matter how many seasons they do, she’d like to keep the number of first ladies to three per installment for a very specific reason.“Three is a great number for a season because you can do in-depth contrasts, but it’s also incredibly interesting how the three ladies reflect upon each other,” Bier said.

Jean Carroll, stood by her side.A deposition, Kaplan said, would “inevitably result in an inordinate amount of delay.”“We want the case to go forward,” she said.Attorney Alina Habba, who represented Trump at the hearing, said outside court that she had not heard before that Carroll's lawyers did not want a deposition, a proceeding in which lawyers in civil cases question likely witnesses under oath prior to trial.“It's surprising,” Habba said.As for a DNA sample, Habba said: “None has been demanded.”Kaplan, though, said the DNA sample had been requested after the case was first filed in state court and the demand still exists after it was moved to federal court.The Associated Press generally does not identify people alleging sexual assault, but Carroll has consented to being named in the media.She told reporters outside court that she was looking forward to the trial on behalf of all women “who have been grabbed and groped, assaulted and raped by men in power and are silenced.”“And we are looking to bring justice, at least in this one case, against a powerful man,” she said.Carroll said she would “never settle, never.”“This is about principle.
