things at once. it is a working office. it is a living museum. it is an enduring symbol of our democracy. but at the end of the day, when the visitors go home and the lights go down, a few of us are blessed with the tremendous honor to actually live here. i think it is fair to say that every president is acutely aware that we are just temporary residence. we are renters here. we are charged with the upkeep and tell our lease runs out. but we also leave a police of ourself in this place. we are renters here. charged with the upkeep until our lease runs out. in 2012, we did not know how precious those remarks were. there was no president biden fighting for the soul of this nation. there was no president trump fighting to stay in office, no insurrectionists storming the capitol. no top secret classified records taken from the white house and stored in a florida closet. none of that had happened yet. in fact, we wouldn t see an official white house portrait unveiling again for an
a moment. coma is now planning to extend his committee s critical investigatiol n into joe biden and his family s lucrative employment at penn biden center that mysteriously coincided with upends lucrative relationship with the communis t party of china during biden s employment at loop in tendste and tens of millions of dollars, we believe. sixty seven up to date fromersiy china pouring into.t the university at the very same time, hunter biden wasit the beneficiary of a very lucrative deal with a chinese energy company. and can you believe it.?at biden s private office upend the biden center made possible. by the communist party of tha china. you can t make that up. thatou is exactly whereed top secret classified obama era documents turned up.mplete but years later, we have full, complete details. grea at specificity. breaking news coming up now. tonight, we are witnessing a white house in full crisis mode. they are panicking in the westk wing tonight. biden visibly shaken a
an informant at mar-a-lago? well, cnn has not confirmed this part of the story, but we ve already reported that investigators believe that trump and his aides had not returned all of the documents, and they also believe that trump s representatives were not being entirely honest with them. trump, meanwhile, seems to be hiding behind the fifth amendment, which, of course, is his right to do. and he did so today during today s session with the new york attorney general s office, who is investigating of course the trump organization. i m going to give you my take on that a little bit later in the show. but for now, let s remember that trump once said that only criminals took the fifth. you see the mob takes the fifth. if you re innocent, why are you taking the fifth amendment? hmm. what a difference a few years makes. today trump saying in a statement instead, quote, when your family, your company, and all the people in your orbit have become the targets of an unfounded, pol
