tonight on the reidout are you aware of any members of congress seeking pardons? mr. gaetz and mr. brooks. mr. gohmert asked for one as well. mr. perry asked for a pardon, too, i m sorry. mr. perry, did he speak to you directly? yes, scott perry did ask for a pardon and new reporting sheds new light on why he would have wanted one. his text messages following the 2020 election reveal the integral role he played in trump s plot to overturn joe biden s victory. also tonight, the koch network goes all in for nikki haley. apparently, they see her as a mainstream alternative to trump, but history suggests she s very much a radical right winger in sheep s clothing. but we begin tonight with what has become a new pattern in donald trump s pitiful defenses for his many, many, many, many legal woes. it is no longer enough to attack judges or prosecutors. which as we have all seen and heard, trump clearly has no problem doing. but now, he s shown how small a man he real
will to continue and exist to continue and fight. but they made a mistake. they made a very grave mistake, and the outcome will be the dismantling of hamas. the day hamas committed its terrible murders, it actually doomed the fate of gaza and decided the fate of hamas. any ending image must include clear aspects, one dismantling hamas as a government and military framework organization, and number two, the return of all the hostages to the state of israel. i am fully committed to that. so is the security establishment, the idf is committed to that, and we will carry out this mission of ours. for almost a month, idf forces have been operating inside the gaza strip. they are operating with determination, precision, and lethality. it is achieved through cooperation and combination of ground forces, air forces, and from the sea. everything is accompanied by very precise intel, provided by the intel director and by the isa and other agencies, and we are achieving two very importan
good day to you. i m richard quest. 9:00 in the morning in london. 11:00 a.m. in gaza. and we are following two major developments that have happened overnight. the israeli military says a safe route from gaza city southwards has opened for civilians an hour ago, as israel forces fight their way into the city, the idf says the offer of safe passage to civilians is only good for four hours. that will be until 2:00 in the afternoon local time. one of the refugee camps south of the line, where palestinians have been told to go, was hit by a deadly explosion a few hours ago. a palestinian hospital official says more than 30 people were kid and more than a hundred wounded. the israeli military has not commented on whether it targeted the area. cnn s ivan watson joins us from hong iconic with more. let s start, first of all, i think with the blast. then we ll move to the safe corridors. what more do we know? we re seeing some first images, in daylight today, sunday, the recovery

going well. i had no idea how bad it was. you know, when you listen to the evidence, you listen to everything that hunter went through, how is he still alive? you know. it was scary. imagine being a juror in a high-profile case with political implications and not being terrified of being doxed or physically threatened by the defendant s cultish fans and feeling free to talk about the verdict. huh. late today, hunter biden received a comforting hug from his dad, the president of the united states. on a day that provided very clear evidence that the justice system is not weaponized. also tonight, the fallout from the alito tapes. democrats control the senate, so when can we look forward to hearings on supreme court ethics and political bias? but we begin tonight with justice for all. an ideal enshrined in the motto on the department of justice seal. in latin, roughly, he who takes legal action on behalf of lady justice. the phrase expresses the ideal of a system of justic
