presidential nomination in a city that he reportedly told house republicans was horrible. this weekend the biden campaign are seizing on trump s harsh words. while trump s campaign and his allies are doing all they can to down play, deny or justify his comments, falling back on racist lies about crime and voter in a city led by a black mayor. joining me now the mayor of milwaukee, wisconsin, cavalier johnson, a democrat. thank you for being with us tonight. i know that you are a democrat and you as a democrat still deeply involved in bringing the republican national convention to milwaukee. now exactly one month away. so how did it feel to hear the presumptive gop nominee had reportedly told house republicans that your city was horrible just two days ago. of course trump is now denying this happened but which kind of conference with what he and other republicans in the meeting have said since but still what are your thoughts on this? well, thank you reverand sharpton. look,
colic invited today to become the first congress in the history of united states to hold someone in contempt for complying with our demands and their target is the attorney general of the united states. attorney general garland gave us the special counsel report on president biden in full. he made the special counsel available to us in committee for hours of testimony where he answered all her questions and provided the full transcript of the president s voluntary five hour interview with the special counsel, all 250 pages of it. the whole world can read president biden s interview and his answers on edited but that s apparently not enough. now they want to hold the attorney general and content are not turning over the audiotape of the interview that we have the verbatim transcript of. and why is that important? in case you lost the thread of this madcap, wild goose chase, america. remember this is an impeachment investigation. do they think the holy grail of the 118th cong
children. they are on the balcony for this iconic photo and this is all a part of the trooping of the color celebration for king charles s birthday. this takes on extra special meaning and we want to bring in our legal analyst melissa murray . melissa, this is an iconic photo given the cancer diagnosis. just one week ago fulks did not think this moment would be possible. what is going through your mind? this is a really diminished royal family but it s great to see her out and about. you used to see that balcony overflowing with extended family members from cousins and children and right now all you see are the duke and dashes of gloucester, prince george, prince louis, the prince and princess of wales, the king and queen, the duke and duchess of edinburg and louise. this looks different from balconies of past. maybe in line with king charles slimmed-down monarchy but there is a question of whether that e is fit for purpose when two of its most senior members have been side
new york, pending federal charges for conspiring to overturn the 2020 election, which culminated in that building, and he returns emboldened, to a party devoid of critics. what does that mean for this moment? what does that for democracy? well, he can back to the scene of his crime, he made no apology to 150 capitol officers , npd, montgomery county police officers, who were injured and wounded by the mob he unleashed against us on that day. there were republicans, who had at least tried to cry foul at that moment, who now have completely swallowed all of their misgivings. mitch mcconnell chief among them. they are trying to pretend like nothing big happened, and donald trump can feel proud that he has consolidated cultish type control and power over the republican party, but it is a scandal and a disgrace for the country. i mean hakeem jeffries had this to say along those very lines about this meeting on capitol hill, and donald trump s return. take a listen, folks
election-year issue. meanwhile, the ongoing ethics scandal surrounding some of the justices could also be a major factor this fall. recent efforts to hold the justices accountable have largely stalled in congress and this week, senate republicans blocked a democratic sponsored bill that would have required the supreme court to adopt a more binding code of conduct and would have exposed the justices to greater oversight. democratic representatives alexandria ocasio-cortez and jamie raskin also announced that they plan to introduce legislation in the house that would do the same thing. but, republicans will likely prevent that from even getting a vote on the house floor and that is just the political reality right now on capitol hill. that means that the future of the supreme court might very well be another important issue that the voters will be forced to reckon with when they had to the polls in november. for more on this, i am joined by molly jong-fast, special corresponden
