these extraordinary times. the beat starts right now. hi, ari. hi, nicolle. this is one of those nights. we are tracking several developments, including a brand-new hearing over evidence in a case alleging unlawful lies by fox news. if you re thinking, wait, is this a rerun? did i dvr this? no, this is a different multibillion dollar case that the network is dealing with while reeling from the other original record defamation settlement in the defamation case. that is big. we re going to get to that. also, more tom hanks. we have new material from our interview that s airing tonight for the first time. it will be new, and i m excited to share it with you. we begin with cascading set backs and a political request that s backfiring in public with house republicans pushing on on their deep state in that nothing burger report from trump and bill barr s hand picked attorney general. you can make up your own mind about the evidence, because these kind of things involve eviden
we begin with our chief correspondent, jonathan hunt. good evening. good evening. the first u.s. president to be indicted on criminal charges. donald trump gathered together his supporters to air grievances. i never thought anything like this could happen in america. the only crime that i have committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it. now, among the former president s target was alvin bragg, the manhattan district attorney leading the charge to convict trump on hush money payment to porn star stormy daniels. the criminal is district attorney because he leaked massive amount of grand jury information. [applause] for which he should be prosecuted or at a minimum, he should resign. and the former president hit out of the judge in this case, too. i have a trump-hating judge and trump-hating wife and family whose daughter works for kamala harris and now receiving the biden/harris campaign. before he wrapped up, he criticized othe
Matt agreed to be here. Kennedy will be back tomorrow at noon eastern. Now, heres harris. Harris lets begin as we await the start of a muchanticipated House Judiciary Committee hearing. President trumps former Campaign Manager, Corey Lewandowski, is such testify at any moment as the democrats ramp up their impeachment investigations. You are watching outnumbered overtime. Im harris faulkner. Now we will hear the chairman and Ranking Member giving the opening statements.
