And the man investigating hunter biden, the u. S. Attorney out of delaware had been saying up until now that he never asked for and didnt need the powers that came with that appointment. So why was david weiss made Special Counsel today . We have reaction from the white house. Hunter bidens team, and republicans on capitol hill. Joining me now is nbc news investigative correspondent tom winter, nbc News White House correspondent monica alba, and ms p msnbc political contributor and cofounder of punch bowl news, jake sherman. Tom, i want to get some details from you. Sure. The question that is nagging me is why all of a sudden does this investigation, this case need a Special Counsel . Yeah, i really dont understand. And its a question i think we need some more clarity on. So to be specific, what happened here is there was clearly an ongoing plea negotiation, after the judge said, look, im not going to accept this, im not going to reject this Plea Agreement. You all have to get back tog
Made to look kind of like the civilian version of an m4 rifle but sized down so like toddlers can use them. Not toy guns, not like supersoakers, squirt guns, not bb guns, not cap guns, real guns that fire real bullets. You have heard of the ar15. Now meet the jr15, as in the junior ar15. The company that makes it is just super cute about the whole thing. They call themselves wewon, tactical. They the logos for the little girls and little boys version of this gun for babies. The logos were this little kids Skull And Bones pacifier with a cross bone and this one for girls. Because why should any kid have to wait until theyre done with the teething process before they can start carrying their own Assault Rifle . They advertise the jr15 as smaller, safer, lighter. They apparently recently did drop the pacifier logos and the scoobydoo cartoon font in some of their advertising. But its not like theyre no longer claiming this is an Assault Rifle for babies. I mean, they could change their mar
Unquestionably fairminded he does cardio and weights. His aggressive approach to his personal health and exercise correlates to how he approaches his prosecution and his strategy. Jack smith deliver Donald Trumps head as he sits in prison cell for last day. Laura these people should consider therapy at this point. The real jack smith is another attack dog in the kennel of antitrump prosecutors trying to make a name for himself. The one person who counts most now is saying hey, hold your horses not so fast. Cannon overseeing the trumps classified documents case slapped down the dojs patently absurd request to file motions under seal. Cant have the people knowing anything about this. Right . Judge cannon is putting smiths team on the spot about its use of the a d. C. Grand jury to gather evidence after it already indicted trump in florida using a grand jury in miami. While the case was brought, remember, in the miami Federal District court, after all, so it makes a lot of sense. But a li

Dan i think would happen six of the finest the scope of the plea deal which state may with Hunter Bidens Attorney Sent that is really well i think at the center of this c1 will theyre asking to withdraw it. Dan thats exactly right because it was such a lousy deal and everybody knew that it was the rest slap after all the years of david weiss, it is been investigati
Seen time and time again. And, they will not leave it alone. They wont let it go. And it would be, perhaps more evident, if the congressional delegation from ohio wasnt so outrageously gerrymandered. Yes. Anyway, its a good day for people who like democracy, and Representative Democracy at that. Thank you my friend. And thank you for joining us from home, for this hour of television. Imagine, for one second, what a speech from a former president normally looks like. Maybe its the opening of a president ial library, maybe its a university commencement, you get the idea. And then, there are speeches from our most recent former president. Before i show you his speech today, i have to warn you, it is vulgar. But we are going to play it, uncensored for reasons that i wont will outline after i play you the sound. So, prepare yourself. Im sorry, i will be able to go to iowa today, i will be able to go to New Hampshire today, because im sitting in a courtroom on [bleep], because, his Attorney
