experienced donald. trump going after his son, hunter biden. this was back in this timber 2020 debate. when president trump said that hunter biden had been dishonorably discharged for using cocaine from the military to be clear, he was administratively discharged, which is different. he also mocked a hunter biden, if you ll recall saying he couldn t get a job until president biden had become vice president. so who up the defense, if you also remember that president biden gave at the time saying, look, yes, like a lot of american families are families. one that has dealt with the problem of addiction, but i m proud of my son and i love my son. eighth had said at the time that that ended up being actually one of the most resonant moments coming out of the debate. but i think all of this just goes to show the biden team s broader strategy of trying to prepare for anything and everything. but donald trump might throw his way thursday night in christian. i understand. you have
Government to get her 7yearold son. She told us, as a mother, you must fight to get your child back. You think if they anticipated it, do you think it would be that complicated . No, not at all. Reporter jody goodwin represents 100 migrant parents. They didnt think this through in which way to match up which parents. Liz, i want to start with you because the department of Homeland Security doesnt answer the questions of the families and advocates like the ones that spoke to Gabe Gutierrez there. They are asking the government to provide. What is your sense of how the administration is trying to fix this blunder . The fact sheet is the first time the government has told people how many of the Young Children that they took from their parents have actually been reunited. And the number is 522.

David Gura hosts coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Wideranging conversation the two of them had. Let me play a tape here from senator Lindsey Graham, senior senator from south carolina, responding to all of this. When it comes to Michael Cohen, you should be very suspicious of anything he says. Hes on the hot seat. Mr. Cohen, if youve got something new to say, you need to come to congress and say it under oath. Everyone is a lawyer. I should say, Lindsey Graham is actually a lawyer. So he has some justification there weighing in, i guess, on what happens on the hot seat. Sara, give me your perspective on this. We have seen teases here from Michael Cohen, lanny davis releasing that tape, memobly on tuesday night. We listened to it in realtime as it was played out on cable news. Weve heard it subsequently.

David Gura hosts coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Opportunity for a politicians challenger. In this case it is a democrat named nate mcmurray. I reached out to him a couple of hours ago and got this statement. He says this. It is absolutely true that Chris Collins should not be running for this or any other seat, a fact that the local Republican Party knew full well when they endorsed and celebrated him while he was under investigation for securities fraud.
