tonight on the reidout we have tens of thousands of pages of documents where we need to sit down and ask specific questions without filibustering, without interruption, without going five minutes back and forth with jamie raskins and dan goldman and little moscow wits jumping up and down. hunter biden agrees to testify before the house oversight committee on the utter lack of evidence that his father did anything wrong. but chairman james comer refuses to take yes for an answer. also tonight, more hostages are freed by hamas, including an american. as negotiators work to extend the pause in fighting. with just hours to go before the extended cease fire is set to end. plus, rejecting the binary us versus them narrative in the israel-hamas war, i ll speak to a prominent rabbi and a labor leader who happened to be married about the importance of a peaceful shared future for israelis and palestinians. but we begin tonight with two very stark warnings about the figh
embattled republican congressman george santos talks to the media as the house prepares a vote on his expulsion a lot of folks now coming forward listen, we were going to wait for his trial to see what happened. others have now become convinced now that that report is out from the house ethics committee. they have seen enough there are a number of people now publicly, including many, many republicans who say they will join a vote to oust him. could that be thursday? could it be friday? we will keep you covered as we look to see what happens there. and it raises further questions about what is happening on the senate side with a possible ethics investigation into senator bob menendez. also facing a trial there are those on that side calling for due process but a number of democrats as you know who have called for his resignation there. so, we will watch to sees a all of those ethics issues plays out more immediately with representative santos in the next day or two. we will ke
i think that s these people in january 6th cases, i think that s so important. because a typical judge you pick a judge anywhere in this country, a typical federal judge and typical defendant, they usually give the defendant a lot of rope to take their time and learn and conduct their own investigation, get familiar with the facts, because they presume the person isn t trying to waste their time, isn t trying to abuse the process. but if, for example, barrel howell or amy berman jackson or someone like that who has extensive experience with donald trump, his associates, january 6th defendants and so on, they may take a very different view of this, and jack smith may suddenly be in a situation where a judge in d.c. is more interested or motivated to move that case quickly. it s possible especially with the superseding indictment in florida that case ends up moving faster, the d.c. case, than the mar-a-lago documents case, even though it was charged first.
before a federal judge trying to pierce attorney-client privilege in the january 6th cases as well, to access attorney-client privilege information. if that happens, it may have already happened, it would expedite the timing, and all the timing would emanate from jack smith s decision. we don t know what we don t know about jack smith s opaque legal maneuverings in the same way we didn t know what was before judge barrel howell. and this is the trump advantage. you were talking about it, his misinformation megaphone. we re piecing together what we believe is happening in jack smith s world, but we only find out when there s a legal filing. and right now donald trump is on the steps giving a press conference at mar-a-lago pushing out that misinformation, saying today we ll go down in infamy. that part is true. saying what he did hillary
has enormous discretion and she could essentially almost have a pocket veto on the case by delaying it until after the republican nomination or even the general election. i think if she were to do that, i think the doj would appeal and do sort of a writ of man dams. an appeal to the 11th circuit. there they might seek her recusal. certainly a faster date. that s one of the ways i think she would do a disservice to this country where people are entitled to hear the evidence and weigh it for themselves and to have a decision one way or the other. whether acquittal or conviction. as to what happened here. the one thing i can assure you, however, is on the point about evan cork ran, while she has a lot of power to decide what comes in and out, that decision is what s called law of the case. that was litigated fully by donald trump and the government before a different judge, barrel
