The move comes amid growing tensions over Irans Nuclear program and terrorist activities. Mark meredith has the breaking details. What are we learning about this deal . Sandra, good afternoon to you. News of this broke just in the last 30 minutes or so after a letter was published by a lawyer based here in the United States who was representing three of these five people who are apparently moved to house arrest in iran today after serving time in prison, at least for the last several years.

Have missed. January 6th was a disgrace. American citizens attacked their own government. They used terrorism to try and stop us, specific piece of Domestic Business they did not like. Fellow americans beat and bloodied our own police. They stormed the center floor. They tried to hunt down the speaker of the house. They built a gallows and chanted about murdering the Vice President. They did this because they had been Fed Wild Falsehoods by the most powerful man on earth. Because he was angry and lost an election. Former President Trumps actions preceded the riot for a disgraceful, disgraceful dereliction of duty. Therefore, i am endorsing donald j. Trump. The one thing we cut off there, maybe its not fair is right after that, he broke into a rousing tune. Happy days are here again. It was like the 32 convention. I couldnt believe it. But yeah.

One of the things i noticed when i was going through the bond today is that it actually only covers the appeal to the Second Circuit. It doesnt cover any appeal that he would take from the Second Circuit if it affirms the jurys verdict of 83. 3 million. Youre going to have to explain that. If he appeals further to the supreme court, hes going to need Somebody Else to come in and provide that security if he takes that appeal further. Otherwise, he will owe her that mon
This afternoon President Joe Biden is taking his brand on energy on the road after a fiery state of the Union Address in which he laid out the choice facing voters in november. He made a stunning indictment of the gops decision to turn its back on democracy and freedom both here and abroad, all in service of the disgraced wannabe autocrat who is The Republicans presumptive president ial nominee. President joe biden will be soon making remarks in pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is central to his hopes of prevailing in november. If todays speech is like anything we saw last night from the president he will take a blow torch to his opponent and the Republican Party. Standing before congress in front of some of the very same people who aided and abetted donald trump, trying to overturn the 2020 election, and the very seen of the crime that is the january 6th insurrection, President Biden on thursday night painted a picture of a Republican Party that has fallen so far it no longer respects or ad
