focused on in the house. it is not jobs, nor the economy, or ukraine. it s investigations. joining me now, nbc news capitol hill correspondent, ali raphael. ali, welcome. what is the latest on the republicans planned when they take the majority in january? alex, good morning. house republicans are wasting no time letting the american people know what their priorities are going to be for the next two years under this new house majority. they are saying, the new subpoena power and key control over committees is going to be used to investigate president biden and his son, hunter biden, s business dealings. the house is top republican, who is still trying to cement the votes needed to become how speaker, released a statement on this yesterday, saying in part, quote, house republicans will be ready on day one to exercise our article one authority to hold the biden administration accountable. and we intend to finally get answers to the american people that they deserve. now, we know the
martha: a paternity suit involving hunter biden and the mother have his child could shed light o on the vice president ss business dealings. she is seeking reimbursement in child support which could force biden to disclose his earnings from his time on the board of the ukrainian gas company burisma. trace gallagher has the details. hunter biden they have to turn the information over sooner rather than later because the judge in the paternity lawsuit has already scolded him for not giving up more financial documents. now the judge wants five years of financial records from both biden and lunden roberts, the former exotic dancer and mother of his child. ms. roberts and her lawyers want more than just biden s documents from his time on the board of
impeachment. he s held off saying he wants an investigation which now appears will be like i wil likely into s business dealings. maybe it s this push to the left that s helping the democrats. biden s performances have been nothing short of terrible. he looks unprepared. the base is not excited about him. and bernie sanders is like, to me, a cranky pessimistic version of elizabeth warren. he really is. elizabeth warren managed to take the progressive message and go out and front and center and have the optimism and the energy that the base likes. i think the biden team is going to get concerned. is joe biden right that he can beat the president like a drum. friends@ fox & friends. people shot overnight in downtown indianapolis.
