GREG KELLY (HOST): So, President Trump reportedly is insisting that the DOJ, well, owes him $230 million. And it might even be a lot more than that. He's got a great case. When they dragged him all over the place, right, arresting him — this is just a small portion of his legal issues, right? Remember? I mean, it was bigger than this. There was Tish James, there was E. Jean Carroll, there was all that stuff. It all came to about $1 billion, potentially, in opportunity costs and legal fees. Everybody else in the swamp, if they're anti-Trump, they get free lawyers. President Trump had to pay for this himself. 

Now there's Christine Blasey Ford. Remember her with those ridiculous, preposterous, actually, allegations against Kavanaugh? Everybody in that picture is being paid, not by Blasey Ford, by shadowy donors. George Soros, who knows? But she didn't pay a penny out of her pocket. It's fascinating. I've looked it up. They admit it. All of these key witnesses that have been used against President Trump and yes, he spent $1 billion in legal fees. All of the witnesses, if they were anti-Trump, had their bills paid for in full.
