Today. Some of the we are not losing the capitol today. We are taking need to capitol hill were former special counsel robert hur will testify in the President Bidens of handling of my documents was serving as Vice President and the Obama Administration. Will to question for members of the House Judiciary Committee. In his report, he said classified records were properly obtained by mr. Pino but did recommend criminal charges. This is live coverage on cspan three. [ inaudible ] is something that u. S. Citizens and Congress Must be concerned with. Gaza. Every single day. And it is happening in gaza. Congress is supporting a genocide. Now it is happening here every single day. Real children have real photos. This is not made up. This is not photoshop. How many children now need to be killed in gaza, not to mention the injuries. Thousands killed. Almost 70,000 injured. 17,000 went down in the last four months. The israelis slaughtering gaza. 1000 children. They have had one or both legs a
Its all political, and i think that in the end that that ends up hurting joe biden and helping donald trump. John jonathan turley, to the point that a lot of democrats are making here, this was a clearly partisan report, that hur was only out to get biden, trying to shred his credibility. He said in his Opening Statement that he had to, because of doj guidelines, present this report to the Attorney General on his decision not to charge. He said i knew from my decision to be credible, i could not simply announce i recommended no criminal charges and leave it at that, i needed to explain why, show my work as he said. Put that into context for us legally. Did he have to go into this level of detail . Because its the part of this that is real ticked off the white house and set democrats aflame is his idea that joe biden is a kindly old gentleman with a bad memory, and that of course brings up the entire conversation about whether or not he can continue to be president now let alone for ano
You read those. Most notably after being given multiple chances to return classified documents and avoid prosecution, mr. Trump allegedly did the opposite. Not only refused to return the documents for many months but enlisted others to destroy evidence and then to lie about it. You may stop there. You mentioned the indictment against mr. Trump for handling sensitive classified security information, says at the end of his presidency mr. Trump, looking for my indictment here, i have it here, hang on. Mr. Trump himself ordered that boxes containing classified materials go to maralago, where he hosted Tens Of Thousands of guests, and he kept these sensitive materials carelessly about the property as you can see here, classified documents ended up in a bathroom, a ballroom, on a floor about, and when a grand jury subpoenaed the documents, what did donald trump do, the indictment again shows against him what he responded by. Suggesting that his attorney falsely represent that the fbi and gra
Thank you for being with us. President biden about to leave the white house to capitol hill to deliver a critical address to the nation in front of what may be the largest tv audience hell get this election season. It is a chance for the commander in chief to reframe the political debate about not only the state of this country, but also his stewardship of it. Earlier today, i went to the white house for a conversation with the president about what hell talk about. He is eager to engage politically with republicans. Cbss ed okeefe is at the white house, and ed, the president tonight will use the phrase americas comeback. Reporter thats right, norah, and as he engages with republicans, he plans to call out how they have lost election for supporting the repeal of roe vs. Wade and promise to sign a federal law to protect Abortion Services if it is ever passed. The president is also planning to take at least a few jabs at his likely republican opponent, donald trump. President biden has sp
Between biden and trumpet. Its hard for me to see why our colleagues think that this hearing advances, their flailing and embarrassing quest to impeach the president of United States. What americans use todays evidence of one president who believes in the rule of law and works to protect it. And one who has nothing but contempt for the rule of law and acts solely in pursuit of his own constantly multiplying corrupt schemes. Are you going back or . Somebody is back without objection, all of their Opening Statements will be included in the record. We will now introduce todays witness. The unable robert for was appointed as a special counsel in january 2023 to investigate the removal and retention of classified documents discovered at the Pen Biden Center for diplomacy and global engagement.
