beginning of the end, he could continue to go through that road to recovery. we know the president has held his son closely. there was a sort of reiteration of that statement a month ago by the white house again today that they still continue to support their son. as it relates to the politics and what we re hearing from the white house, it was interesting. yesterday we did really get an indication of how the white house did think this was a pivot point where they could pivot away from this matter and focus on republicans and misplaced priorities. karine jean-pierre saying while the republicans are focused on him and his family, president biden is focused on the american people, their families. that s the kind of language you hear from the white house from the biden campaign as they see an opportunity to move beyond this. obviously the degree to which there s still some uncertainty about what could still come down the road for hunter bye, that would get in the way of that. we always kn
the gavel right now allows them to really equivocate between the idea that donald trump is under multiple investigations, multiple indictments as we wait for the third indictment this summer for the former president. they re trying to equivocate those tangible charges and nchgss with the investigations they are doing loosely on the house judiciary and weaponization front into hunter biden trying to connect them to president joe biden. all of this is an attempt to muddy the waters and just attach the word investigations to both candidates for the likely front runners in 2024, nevertheless, you re hearing from people like senator ron johnson who are saying they re happy about the way this plea deal has been derailed. congresswoman lauren boebert saying mark my words saying the biden crime family will go down as the most corrupt family in american political history. again, i think it s really important to underscore that event though republicans are
news broke and talking specifically about how the president, the administration has been addressing the situation with his son and keeping it a personal matter. it seems like they re sticking to that line right now. eventually they re going to have to pivot. this is going to become very much a political matter as the president is running for re-election against someone possibly like donald trump when may be indicted for a third, possibly fourth time, who will very likely bring up the issues surrounding the president s son. yeah, of course. obviously there s the legal issues as harry and tom have filled us in. then there s the politics of it. the politics of today you re going to hear republicans say see this deal is so smelly that the judge wouldn t just accept it off of face value and wants to know more about it. it sound like what she s concern about is a process thing, rather than the substance of the deal, whether hunter biden is getting
what aboutism. the gun charges and tax charges have nothing to do with the indictments that have gone against donald trump, who has been caused of defrauding the public, and claims of unclassified documents and potentially a third indictment involving trying to overturn an election. obviously more serious matters. it allows the republicans to say there s something going wrong in the biden administration. that s what you ll hear them talk about. certainly gives them the fuel and the freedom to do that. i m just wondering if there s a plan within the white house to deal with this going fwapd. it s not going to get wrapped up in a nice bow. this is the weight you take on as the president of the united states. the public scrutiny you take on not only of yourself but of the actions of your family members. every president it seems like has issues with his or her eventually her relatives that
cause them embarrassment. it is, in fact, a traditional situation we ve seen over presidencies. you re right, the plan that they had was to wash their hands of it today, wipe their hands, say we re done, we re moving on. that plan has been blown up. many of us obviously remember something similar playing out or issues similar i should say playing out for the clinton presidency as well who obviously dealt with a brother with some drug charges. if you would, stand by for me. i want to go to the hill. we re talking about how this is all going to play out politically, and ali vitali standing by for us on capitol hill with that. you cannot say it enough, this is really going to throw fuel on this political fire for republicans there. who are wanting to address what they see as problematic with the
