The cabinet position since february of last year. He had been scheduled to appear in march but, of course, the china virus pandemic interrupted that. Chair jerry nadler further delayed the hearing today. He got into a car accident on his way to capitol hill.

Rioters are embedded in them. As democrats continue to blast the president for trying to stop the destruction. People are warning there is not peaceful or mythical about officers being assaulted with power tools, commercial grade fireworks and lasers that blind them and buildings being set on fire with people inside of those buildings or cop cars being burned. Also tonight, you would think the twoyear trumprussia probe was based on high level russian firms with connections to russian intelligence the way the media and democrats talked about the story for three years.
