there are other factors, which really encourage investors, to modify our rules and revelations in regard to the procedures of financial transfer, and at the same time fiscal policy, and improving certain rules and regulations which are attached to investors and the banking system. the government is very serious to take actions around all these lines, and i want to report the security of iraq is good and iraq has been enjoying a period of safety and security for the last few years. what about corruption? there has been, over many years, a worry about the level of corruption in iraq. a recent news article, the director of the iraq initiative at londons chatham house said: the system of corruption and political patronage is entrenched and has stifled any reform attempts for the past 20 years. what are you doing to address this? corruption is a disease in any society, and it s a serious disease. we have to fight it and we have to really put laws and enforce these laws against cor
presidents classified documents case, and the plea deal for hunter biden. then, nearly one year after the overturning of roe, where things stand on abortion access in america. and we are following the money, hundreds of billions of dollars in covid relief money, stolen or wasted. how did it happen, and who is being held accountable? as the 11th hour gets underway on this tuesday night. good evening, once again, i m stephanie ruhle. one week after donald trump pleaded not guilty to charges of mishandling classified documents, a federal judge set the date for the start of his trial. judge aileen cannon s order sets august 14th since day one for the trial. that is just eight weeks away. it is likely to be pushed back, because of pretrial motions. and complicated rules about using classified documents at a trial. kenyan also ruled the trial and all hearings will take place at her home courthouse in fort pierce, florida. that is north of trump s palm beach home. meanwhile, there
he understands the role of attorney general is to serve and protect the people of the united states, and that is exactly what he will do and do better than anybody else can. jeff sessions was a disaster as attorney general. he s not qualified. he is not mentally qualified to be attorney general. we hope bill barr going to be as good as we think because he is a great gentleman, a great man. by the way, when bill barr, who is a coward. you know, bill barr was a coward. he didn t do what he was supposed to do. i fired him, and he has great chairman. for the joint chiefs of staff, general milley will serve as my top military adviser. i have absolute confidence he will fulfill his duty with the same brilliance and fortitude he has shown throughout his long and very distinguished career. he was, frankly, incompetent. the last one i d want to attack with as my leader would be milley. general kelly has been a star. he s done an incredible job thus far, respected by everybody. a g
welcome to inside politics. i m manu roaju in for dana bash. is donald trump immune from actions he took in office. that crucial question now in the hands of three judges on the d.c. court of appeal. trump says he cannot be prosecuted for trying to overturn the election because they were, quote, official actions he took while president. moments ago, we heard from trump himself. i think it s very unfair when an opponent, a political opponent, is prosecuted by the doj by biden s doj, so they re losing in every poll. and they re losing in almost every demographic. numbers came out today that are really very mind boggling if you happen to be joe biden. and i think they feel this is the way they re going to try to win. that was outside the courtroom, inside the court, with his d.c. criminal trial looming, trump s lawyer and the special counsel s office made their cases in the high stakes hearing today. if a president has to look over his shoulder or her shoulder every time
and for those keeping score at home, it s two democratic appointees and one republican appointee who are hearing this case, which i think lends some optimism to the jack smith s team because of that makeup. it s also true, this argument for donald trump is a pretty extraordinary stretch. remember when we covered the mueller investigation. and there was much sdiscussion that there s is a justice department policy. not a law, but a policy, that says a sitting president should not be indicted. implicit in that policy, of course, he could be indicted later for something he did. that s always been the assumption. gerald ford pardoned richard nixon for his crimes in watergate. if he couldn t be prosecuted, there would be no need for a po pardon. for a former president, for conduct while in office. that s what the pardon was for. everyone assumed without the pardon, he could be prosecuted. once you are out of office, you are an order citizen like everyone else. interestingly
