Im max foster. Bianca is off today. But just ahead someone who engaged in that kind of bullying, a process that is fundamental to our system and to our self government, shouldnt be anywhere near the oval office. Sadly the president was surrounded by a group of crack pot lawyers that kept telling him what his itching ears wanted to hear. I strongly disagree with fitchs decision and i believe that it is entirely unwarranted. Hate has no place in our community. Even though nothing will bring my dad back, i feel like a weight has been lifted and i can breathe a sigh of relief. Live from london, this is cnn newsroom with maxes s fos and bianca nobilo.

The former president said what he wanted to, and much of it was not true. So i dont have any factchecks of President Biden here. But i think thats for an obvious reason remarkable.
