newton john has died. olivia has been a symbol of triumph and hope for over 30 years sharing her journey with breast cancer. do i expect you to help? yes i do. president biden applauding passage of the senate bill. some g.o.p. members remain skeptical. people in country can t afford everything in their daily lives. this bill does nothing to address that. ainsley: we start with a fox news alert. republican lawmakers are demanding an investigation into the fbi s raid on mar-a-lago. steve: meanwhile former president donald j. trump released a campaign style video on his website, truth social, calling the united states a nation in decline. lawrence: kevin corke joins us live from washington. kevin, what can you tell us? good morning, guys. certainly a day to remember in the nation s capitol. if you ask republicans not for a good reason. president trump s home mar-a-lago comes under siege by the biden administration s department of justice, with the approval of a
me, like a very much an intentional shot across the bough to try to, you know, sort of make donald trump look like he is under investigation for something more serious than this actually is. because, steve was mentioning earlier, ainsley. that the presidential records act is not as clear cut as maybe some people on the left would like to suggest. you know, the records that they were looking at or things like, you know, a fox news alert kim jong un i read or, you know, other types of artifacts from his presidency, and this do have easily been negotiated or otherwise requested by a subpoena. lawrence: matt, this goes to the question of why. and the political aspects of the fbi. we know, you had early on michael sussmann going over to the fbi just to help them out. we know the inner workings of mccabe and lisa strzok and
