about what harlan crow says the one thing he has never done in the garden of eden. my mind just went to some very dark places immediately. rachel, when you call your backyard garden of evil. i mean? hey, rachel,, caught some bad news today about the canoeing trip we have planned for this summer. with stephen colbert and seth myers and jimmy kimmel and . turns out that only john oliver and i can go because all of the rest of you have just been sanctioned by vladimir putin, you are not allowed anymore to enter russia. so, you know. it is really going to be a drag to miss mosquito season in siberia, but i will be trying to hold it together, i will make alternative plans and just hoping there is a typo. a lot of fascinating things on the sanctions list like attorney general letitia james. it turns out, and brad raffensperger in georgia, like, people have absolutely nothing to do with foreign policy in any way. i don t know that brad raffensperger has ever said a word
weekend. let s dive right into the week s top stories. the big story, of, course we have two hot wars for the president to navigate on the world stage. the republican-controlled house has voted to formally authorize its impeachment inquiry into president biden despite failing to provide any evidence of wrongdoing by the president. the vote was strictly along party lines with all 221 republicans voting yes, all 212 democrats voting no. republicans say the move will grant them the ability to better enforce their subpoenas in the courts. house oversight chair republican james comer has accused hunter biden and other biden family members of engaging in, quote, shady business practices. but as we said, has yet to reveal any evidence of wrongdoing or influence peddling by the president himself. so here is what several house democrats said ahead of the vote. see the biden impeachment investigation isn t a who done it. it s a what is it? it s like an agatha christy novel where the
