truncated version of our report. it actually reads very similar to vice chair cheney s opening statement in the first of our summer hearings. it was during that period of the first proceeding where she laid out that there is a multi part, intentional plan to disrupt the joint session and prevent the transfer of power and put pressure on state officials, at the department of justice, on the vice president, and ultimately at the capitol. that is exactly what his alleged in this indictment. there is not a lot of new information, other than some details about direct communications between the president and the vice president. the president and pat cipollone, is so the counsel has gotten additional corroborates information that provides some important context, about the president stage of mine. but the core conduct that is described is what we set forth in our report. i know you refer to pence, i know you didn t have a chance to interview him, so there is
notes to the doj. how big of a role do you think of these notes could play? well there are those notes, and remember richard donahue who has the notes of what trump said, just say it as corrupt and leave it to me and the republican congressman, which is mentioned in the indictment, but not referred to in the notes. notes, contemporaneous notes are very powerful cooperation when a defendant, a defense council tries to undermine the credibility of a witness because you have realtime recording of what the individual side. and, so, it is another element of proof because the corroborates and build credibility for what the witness said. but, erin, you pointed out one thing that jumped out at me, which was that conversation about foreign affairs international security issues, unrelated to the election. when donald trump says, 17 days
lifetimes, fewer people want it to be between joe biden and donald trump and we have ever seen, and this is just simply going to make people more turned off on the election and be interesting to see how that all plays out on each respective side. john: karl, great to get your thoughts, appreciate it. back here to the studio in washington and sarah bedford who many of you may remember as sarah westwood, investigative and political reporter for the washington examiner. so, you ve been looking into all of this with the prosecutor, and whether or not david weiss was approaching this case correctly, ties that a very close associate of hunter biden s had with the u.s. attorney s office in delaware, actually worked there for a while as the case was beginning. what do you make of what we saw unfold today? i think everything that happened in the courtroom today corroborates what the whistleblowers have said, every piece of documentary evidence, and some anonymous testimony from fbi official
same one who says he has tapes of joe biden shaking him down for $5 million and says he has bank records proving he paids the bribe. devon archer will also testify that called his dad in front of his business partners dozens of time s. it s how hunter justified the bribes he can get his daow d on phone wherever and whenever a foreign national wanted as long as he was paying. this corroborates what tony bubba alinsks pay said. in fact, the same day that hunter biden shook down the chinese for money, claimingt his dad was sitting next to him and would be reallo hiy mad if the money didn t come through. well, it turns out hunter was da delaware athunter his dad s e that very same day, taking his dad sams for a joyride with two young women, putting joe and hunter at the same place at the same time. archer s also expected sam to tl congress about dinners hunter set up between his dad and foreign business partners from ukraine, russia and kazakhstan. igemails and photographs also pp joe bid
exploded there. you see the initial explosion on a number of those smaller bombs falling around the area. that s what they re staten island designed to do. they re designed specifically to kill people. oren liebermann is at the pentagon. has the defense department confirmed the arrival of these munitions in ukraine now? does it have any sense of when and how ukraine plans to use them? jim, lieutenant general d.a. simms who s the director of operations here at the joint staff, confirmed just a few moments ago on a press briefing that u.s. cluster munitions have arrived in ukraine, so that corroborates what our colleague alex marquardt heard from ukrainian general, which is that they have arrived in the country. simms wouldn t say anything about whether or not they have been used yet. generally the u.s. will leave it to the ukrainians to talk about how, when, and where they choose to employ the weapons that have been provided. simms also made the point that a third country has provid
