After he made bail later in the day on Thursday, Chain reportedly said, “America was saved when Donald J. Trump was elected.” Here’s a [transcript of one of the calls](https://twitter.com/Tom_Winter/status/1035167781635981314?s=20). * **Kaepernick's Case Will Go to Trial:** Former quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s collusion grievance against the NFL will go to trial after the league's request to dismiss his case was denied.
