Mccarthy also went on offense over tomorrows vote to sit freshman Marjorie Taylorgreene, strip her of her committee assignments. Mccarthy said it was aimed at taking the temperature down. Tonight, greene talked. Weve got the inside scoop. Tonight mccarthy asked why democrats seem to be just fine with Eric Swalwell continuing to hit on the Intelligence Committee despite his relationship with an alleged chinese spy. Are we going to leave swalwell on Homeland Security and intel . The speaker has that appointment. She and i were both down in the skip and we heard what the fbi report was. No way would i ever leave him on intel or home land. I question whether he should still be a member of congress. Shannon hello. Im Shannon Bream in washington. Very busy day. Its been a busy one. Hey, kevin. Reporter
make mel inspired a movement. he s been wronged by the criminal justice system for a decade now. evwin his first post-prison interview, he tells his powerful story. have you seen somebody with their brains blown out? i ve seen it multiple times. he has this energy about him. sentenced to prison for a probation violation. it s like mental torture. it s effecting him like my life. it affects all of us. i m still doing time for that case. he violated, he got a stuff sentence. what s wrong with that. we take you inside his emotional journey to freedom. we re there for every step. kevin hart, jay-z, owner of the patriots. i feel like god put me in the position to be the voice for the voiceless. this is way more bigger than me. hello and welcome to dateline. countless young musicians dream of fame and fortune. meek mill was living the fantasy. he went from rapping on street corners to rubbing elbows with some of the biggest names in hip-hop. then sudd
