(The Hill) – Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R), a GOP presidential candidate for 2024, said the details of the federal indictment against former President Trump are “devastating.” “The fact is that these facts are devastating,” Christie told CNN’s Jake Tapper in an interview on Friday. Christie noted that the indictment accuses Trump of directing what documents were to be packed in boxes upon leaving the White House at the end of his presidency, that they should be sent to Mar-a-Lago and where they would be placed while they were at Mar-a-Lago. He said Trump is also accused of directing the documents to be taken with him to his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, when he went there during the summer and continuing to “stonewall” investigators who were trying to get the documents returned to government recordkeepers. “The bigger issue for our country is, is this the type of conduct that we want from someone who wants to be president of the United States?” Chri...

During that time, he became good friends with “Match Game” co-producer Mark Goodson, one-half of the Mark Goodson-Bill Todman production team.Dawson, who became quite popular with both viewers and contestants, said Goodson took notice and offered him a job hosting whichever game show he produced next.“I had a deal with Mark Goodson, that the next pilot they went [with] — whatever it was — they would have to offer me," said Dawson in a 2010 interview with the Television Academy.“Suddenly we hear they’re going to do a new pilot called ‘Family Feud.’ They’re interviewing people, and it looks as though … [...
