He is set to appear in just moments, before the house judiciary committee. And you can see him arriving there at the capitol, moments ago. Hes being held, were told in a holding area before this Committee Hearing gets going. Now, hur is the Special Counsel who investigated President Bidens handling of classified documents.

He was trying to stay above the fray. Brendan, i have not read as mike has, the full transcript. I read the New York Times analysis of it. Again, something for everybody.

That you read. Moat notably given the chance to avoid prosecution, mr. Trump allegedly did the opposite. According to the indictment, he not only refused to return the documents for many months but he also obstructed justice by enlisting others to destroy evidence and to lie about it. You may stop there. Thank you, you mentioned the indictment against mr. Trump for mishandling classified sensitive security information. That indictment says tend of his presidency, mr.
