it looks like biden s legal team is going to try to force the government to abide by the original and totally ludicrous deal. their statement said that hunter will continue to follow the conditions of that agreement on july 20th, 20233. that the probation office had agreed to and had recommended put into effect. if the court upholds whether a s called this pre-trial diversion agreement. i think it s unlikely, hunter would skate charge or any other tax evasion charges that stem out of that same time period. here to break this all down. other breaking news sol wisenberg former deputy independent counsel, fox news contributor and david schoen former trump impeachment lawyer. explain to us what is going on here. i think this came as a surprise to some people today that indeed the walls may be closing in and not on trump this time. it shouldn t have been a surprise because he is under, you know, there is a criminal investigation filed against hunter on the gun charge, and so speed
judge chutkan might rule on this? i think those are very different questions. the rules and federal courts are clear. cameras are prohibited. media groups have come in and they have argued a couple of different things, and one is that the rule is unconstitutional, that it violates first amendment rights so judge chutkan should set it aside. the other is a technical argument about the nature of broadcast which says that this can be done in a way that wouldn t violate the rule. i think it s unlikely that judge chutkan would go ahead and alter the long-standing practice in federal court, but that s very unfortunate because this is a case that should be put on television so that everyone can see it as it happens. the real problem is that donald trump s response in this case, this sort of last-minute response that he files, saying they jacks mitt is engaging in a show trial that he wants to conduct under cover of darkness, is really nothing other than theater because that is sim
tonight. she s the chair of the usually obscure senate rules committee i know where you re going with this one. it did the weirdest thing today. the senate rules committee voted to change a senate rule and so we ve got to hear about that. don t do that every day. they sure don t. and it s a good tease, lawrence. it took the madness of tuberville to provoke the senate rules committee to actually vote to change a senate rule. the madness of tuberville could be a three by bbc series but unfortunately it s an american drama playing out in real life, right here. it will be the title of a limited series at some point. i am sure. thanks, alex. today, in response to leaks of prosecution video interviews in the case of georgia versus don trump and multiple codefendants, just attorney fani willis did exactly, and i mean exactly, what joyce vance predicted she would do last night on this program. there wasn t a formal protective order in place that i think we ll see
It took place. Did you know at the time about that meet something. No, i didnt know anything about it. It must have been a very important meeting, because i never even heard that. No one told you a word, nothing . I know we talked about this on the plane a bit. No, nobody told me. Sounded like a very unimportant meeting. Deep cuts there from haberman and schmidt. Thats not what Michael Cohen claims, alleging that he and several others were present when thencandidate donald trump gave his nod of approval for the meeting to move forward. That contradicts repeated denials from donald trump jr. And others in Donald Trumps orbit. Did you tell your father anything about this . No. It was such a nothing, there was nothing to tell. I wouldnt have even remembered it until you start scouring through the stuff. The president said he became aware of it very recently, right before this came out, and thats when he was notified. Joining me now is jeff

Anderson Cooper takes viewers beyond the headlines with indepth reporting and investigations. Attorney general Jeff Sessions should stop this rigged witchhunt right now before it can stain our country any longer. Bob mueller and the democrats that are doing his dirty work are a disgrace to the usa. The key sentence, Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this rigged witchhunt. Thats what the president said. He said stop it right now. It sounds like the president , who Chief Executive wants to see jeff session, who works for him and the russia investigation ended right now. That is what it sounds like, because that is actually what the president wrote. Unless, of course, you believe his Press Secretary and tv lawyer who scrambled to try and convince the public that what the president said about what he wants to see happen and happen right now was in no way a directive to actually make it happen and happen right now. No, according to them, it was only some guys opinion, the guy who h
