Im ayman mohyeldin. Lets do it. This week it was extremely maga makeover rnc edition. After locking in the republican president ial nomination, donald trump has now set his sights on remaking the Republican National committee in his own image.

Laura hello im laura ingraham. Thank you for joining us. This could be the night that both joe biden and donald trump clinch their partys nomination. Polls in georgia close just moments ago. Mississippi, they close at the bottom of the hour. Were not going to hear about Washington State or hawaii until later tonight but were going to bring you all those results as they trickle in. But, first, the collapse of the great biden coverup. Thats the focus of tonights angle. All right, Special Counsel robert hurs report released on february 8th painted a disturbing portrait of a mentally confused and forgetful joe biden. Democrats cried foul at the time. Its flatly wrong. Its inappropriate. It is gratuitous. Gratuitous, inaccurate, and inappropriate. Gratuitous and inappropriate criticisms of the president. I talked to President Biden, you know, regularly. His Mental Acuity is great, its fine. Its as good as its been over the years. Laura in response, republicans and the angle, we urge the doj
The lookout for. He did it in front of everybody. But today, he was nabbed, so to speak. He was arrested and booked. No mugshot was taken at the ex president , but his fingerprints were taken.

Florida. Now a Magistrate Judge would have to him to enter his plea at its root what the arraignment is it something fundamental to the rule of law and our constitutional system. You are given a right to hear the nature of the charges against you. The other thing that happens if they decide the conditions of your release. Trump is not expected to be put in jail ahead of this trial, but there will be discussion of the terms under which he is released on his own recognizance. That happens in his federal indictment in florida and we expect that will happen again today. That part of the process is somewhat unpredictable. You never know exactly what the judge will want to talk about. We will know about it as soon as we are allowed to. As we said, cameras are not allowed. We will have no live feed as it happens. Nbc is lucky enough that our reporter is one of the few reporters who have been given a seat in the actual courtroom. We will talk with garrett once it is over. We will also get disp
