problems. plus both the embattled new york governor loses support of state democratic leaders, including the state senators. governor andrew cuomo said he won t go. let the review proceed. i m not going to resign. will it work? i m jake tapper in washington, where the state of the union is moving forward. we have just under 70 confirmed deaths as we all scramble to adjust, to life in a pandemic. one year ago tomorrow marks 16, 2020, president trump announced 15 days to slow the spread. it would have been difficult at the time to imagine we would still will living under restrictions one year later. in some ways, this moment does feel a bit optimistic. one in five americans has received at least one dose of the vaccine, according to cdc. nearly 3 million yesterday alone. in his first prime time as president, joe biden outlined an aggressive time line saying the u.s. will have enough doses for every adult by the end of may. pointing to the fourth of july is the beginning
orderly conclusion and operating in a transparent manner without any influence from the white house. if you had higher ups weighing in and preventing the weiss investigation or anybody else for that matter from doing their job. that includes, of course, the interests and searching the guest house on the biden property. it is fine for some of the people in the room to say that might look bad. it might but that doesn t mean you don t need to do it in order to do your job. the american people can have no confidence at this moment that this is an investigation occurring without pressure, even if it wasn t applied by joe biden himself but from above to make sure that this was something that they swept under the rug and made go away as quickly as possible. sandra: not only sweeping under the rug but taking hunter biden very publicly out in the form of a state dinner while you were speaking. that was thursday when the president held a state dinner entertaining prime minister modi of india a
investigation. yet fbi is perfectly fine biden spending a few days the location they should have searched already? think they would have given that same opportunity to donald j. trump. they raided mar-a-lago before dawn without warning. we are watching a two-tiered system of justice. equal justice under the law. equal application of our law sadly does not exist with the biden doj. some democrats seized by federal agents in reho best. we don t know if any other documents moved or destroyed before the fbi conducted the search. keep in mind this is the third biden property searched by the
