Maria happy we can to all, welcome to the program that analyzes the week that was in position to for the week ahead. I am maria bartiromo, former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty in court on thursday good defense against the grand jury indictment over the 2020 election. He and his team saying the legal battle is purely political. This is the persecution of the person that is leading by a very substantial number in the republican primary and leading biden by a lot. If you cant beat him you persecute them or prosecute them. We cannot let this happen in america. Maria the suspicious timing around this and previous indictments is raising major red flags matching about much to the day each new biden family scandal revelation the latest happening 24 hours after the interview with hunter Biden Associate devon archer, Congressional Republican saying everything is on the table when it comes to how to respond.

They are investigating to see whether or not they should impeach joe biden. When someone has a pattern of lying. Joe biden has lied about the origins of hunters laptop in the debate of 2020. He lied about that. He lied about china and hunter biden. He has lied about his interaction with him, Business Dealings. Why do you keep lying if there is no there there. Sandra i imagine the republicans in that room will listen for any changing wording or messaging. It comes down to that, right . There was the messaging from the Biden White House on whether or not the president had any dealings with his son or had any knowledge of his Business Dealings.
