CNN and fox at either end of the 9 tv monitors. Only 2 people took any notice of the news, I was one of the 2. Other guy and I shook our heads in disbelieving acknowledgement - while trump was still live, finishing up. Banners proclaiming powerful, breaking news.

Perhaps, over the road, where the annual Marine Corps Marathon is running, there will be more notice.

If the continuing trump ad lib falsehoods keep on getting uncovered, fox may not mention this, starting soon.
