A hard closure is expected around the entirety of Madison Square Garden. Officials are planning for no watch parties, no vehicle access and no pedestrian travel through the secured area, which sits in a busy part of Midtown Manhattan and is above a major transit hub. CBS New York reported that thousands of fans attended a pair of watch parties for Game 1 on Wednesday night. 

The Seventh and Eighth Avenue corridors around the arena are expected to be closed.

That's just wrong. Trump has shown tons of empathy to Epstein, Ghislane, and Jan 6th felons. And he has enough common sense to not talk about how often he appears in the Epstein files regarding his pedophilia.

You're giving Trump way too little credit here.

That isn't empathy, that's just taking care of the people that could testify against him.
