mark, good morning to you. happy friday, president biden is yet to weigh in on the developments on his son or the possibility of the talk on congress held that might lead to impeachment inquiry. he ignored questions from reporters, but the white house insists that the case remains a private matter. you may remember the plea agreement between federal prosecutors and hunter steacker team fell apart after a judge appointed by former president trump question if theo much immunity or protection from further prosecution there still is an ongoing investigation into his overseas business dealing, the white house insist they have nothing to do with this and are keeping their hands off of this. and the president was never involved in the dealings, but in a surprising twice the white house also ruled out the possibilities of ever helping hunter expunge his name. from the presidential perspective was there any possibility that the president
christie puts on it, that this is a cooperating witness who was been told to stay out of the public s eye. but the other possibility here is that he is still a potential target of one or more of the investigations involving january 6th, and that he is lying low for that reason, not making the mistakes that donald trump is making, where he is making public statements day in and day out that will undoubtedly be used against him at trial. and more equivocal than chris christie is on this one, if i had to guess, i d say we are looking at a witness. luke, mark meadows used to be a big deal within the republican party, right? he served in congress. he had a lot of influence. it was obviously close to donald trump. what are republicans saying about him now? yeah, i mean, mark meadows actually still has a fair amount of influence on capitol hill. he is he was one of the founders of the freedom caucus. he is still at the conservative partnership institute, which i think that video, he is
that is tonight s last word. the 11th hour with stephanie ruhle starts now. ruhle starts now tonight, with a stunning new twist in hunter biden s legal drama, after his plea deal unraveled. what happened in court today, and what happens next? and inflation numbers slowing and low unemployment. how bidenomics will play in 2024. would republicans be able to keep up their current attacks? then, testimony before congress
look out through donald trump history, you know who he said he was all my money to? absolutely no one ever. and he s not going to. michael steele, david plouffe, great to see you both. thank you for being here. but before we go to commercial, i want to check in on congress and ask, is it just me? in a matter of days, the house and senate will depart washington for a five, one, two, three, four, five-week recess. but the senate took some time ahead of its busy schedule to officially recognize july as national blueberry months. is it just me, or does it seem like there might be some more pressing issues to attend to in the last hours before they head home to their districts for more than a month? bipartisanship is a rare, rare commodity these days. they are agreeing on very few things. but perhaps, it is a silver lining that they are coming together on fruit. let s hope when they return, they ll come together on a whole lot more. coming up
biden s ongoing, and the deal would only absolve hunter of legal issues between 2014 and 2019, and only on drugs, taxes, and firearms charges. hunter biden today pleading not guilty to the tax charges. the delay in the case, a further political headache for the white house. this case was handled independently, as all of you know, by the justice department under the leadership of a prosecutor appointed by the former president, president trump. reporter: the original plea agreement sparking outrage from republicans, blasting it as a sweetheart deal for the presidents son, which allowed them to avoid prison time. the attorney general has said that u.s. attorney david weiss has full authority to bring whatever charges he wanted. that two irs investigators joined whistleblowers who recently told congress that was not true. it appears to me based on what i experienced that the u.s. attorney in delaware and our investigation was constantly ham strong, limited, and marginalized by doj of
