horseracing. thank you. afternoon. i m trace gallagher in for martha maccallum and this is the story. south carolina senators tim scott a potential ep candidate is here live has former president trump whittles down his list and announces when he s revealing his pickton clay travis and hillary clinton equating the day with the 2024 election. but first hunter biden may take a stand in his gun trial following an emotional day in court. his daughter naomi testifying she never saw her father do drugs when asked if she knows what that would look like, she answered i guess not. we are told the first lady who again sat in the courtroom appeared upset after naomi s testimony. president biden saying this about his son s legal battle. watch. will you accept the jury s outcome, the verdict the matter what is? yes. have you ruled out a pardon for your son? justice correspondent live outside the courthouse in wilmington delaware. david good afternoon. good afternoon. jurors sent
angling for. trace: i know the defence will start the case next week what s the big strategy do you think for the defence going forward? sympathy. the defence should call it quits should sit down with the jury do it s going to do. the defence was trying to carve at this moment in time this hairsplitting defence that maybe it was an addict monday but tuesday he wasn t. that s when he applied. wednesday he is an addict. you can find him guilty. that doesn t work that way. that s not the definitional what the jury instructions will allow. i really don t think abbe will has any more tricks up his sleeve. he he sent sit down shut up and let the jury do it is untrue. jonathan turley had this op-ed in fox news.com. laptop deniers just conspired to make hunter biden s disappear. now he goes on toward the new york post and reporters like miranda devine have received no recognition for their work in disclosing the contents and defying attacks from politicians
know, if you re coming for me, i m coming for you. try to put those words in the mouth of a defendant who is charged with another kind of violent conspiracy forgive me a kind of violent conspiracy. pretend it s a gangland drug leader. pretend it s a person who owns a multimillion dollar corporation and is charged with stoking violence in some other setting. imagine either of those defendants saying, if you come for me, i m coming for you. that is sort of definitional threatening a witness. i want to just give you guys, everybody listening at home what typically happens when a judge feels that a defendant is threatening witnesses or potential witnesses. i sat in a gang case, a pretty famous one called murder incorporated. it involved the sale of crack cocaine and other interesting drugs in d.c. in the 1990s.

so can you kind of square that circle? is it there obviously is a definitional reason for using the term terror, but the mayor used it in a way that is maybe more colloquial. sure. you know, sorting through law enforcement semantics is never easy, but i will try. so in the fbi, we declare an incident or an attack to be an act of terrorism once we have information, evidence that clearly links the perpetrator to a terrorist group. maybe as a member or an operative or maybe just as somebody who is inspired by a terrorist group and is acting independently but in accordance with what they think the directions of that group are. it s clear that we re at the very early stages of this investigation. they probably don t have any information that indicates a clear connection to terrorism. which is why you heard the police commissioner say at this point they re not investigating it as an act of terrorism. they simply don t have enough to
