HAPPENING NOW IN FRANKLIN: Republican #TN7 nominee Matt Van Epps has moved his event from Puckett’s to the gated mansion estate of a right wing billionaire. Police are outside and told us it’s a closed door event.

Seems to say a lot about who Matt plans to represent.

The judges wrote that the Trump Administration appeared to have become frustrated by legal and political barriers that have prevented its preferred U.S. attorneys from leading federal prosecutors’ offices.
