Willie Brown threatens to sue Trump over helicopter ride story

Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown warned he may consider legal action against former President Donald Trump over a story he recently told about almost crashing in a helicopter with Brown. 

In an interview this week with CBS News, Brown said that he has never been in a helicopter with Trump and threatened to sue the former President because “somebody has got to make sure that he stops lying.” 

“If he keeps it up, at some point, I’m going to give him a taste of his own conduct,” Brown said. “If he sues The New York Times for printing that I said he lied, I’m going to sue him.”

Harris unveils economic plans on inflation, housing. Here’s what economists think

Proposals include a ban on grocery price gouging and homebuyer subsidies.

Vice President Kamala Harris unveiled a sweeping economic agenda on Friday, vowing to ease inflation, fix the housing market and slash taxes for middle-income families.

The plans include eye-catching proposals such as a ban on grocery price gouging and a $25,000 subsidy for first-time homebuyers.

Economists who spoke to ABC News offered up a mixed assessment of the newly released agenda. Some experts lauded the effort to slow rising costs and restrain corporate power in key sectors, while others criticized what they consider a misguided attempt to override market forces that risks worsening the nation’s debt.
