launches a probe. i signed an order appointing robert hur as special counsel. how will this investigation change biden s presidency. and top priority, house republicans launch their own probes into the biden administration. i am concerned about ethics and transparency in the federal government. does that apply to both sides of the aisle? i ll speak to the chair of the house oversight and accountability committee, republican james comer and then the committee s top democrat, jamie raskin, ahead. hitting the limit. house republicans make plans to try to handle the fallout if they carry out on the threat to only raise the debt ceiling accompanied by spending cuts. we ve got to change the way we re spending money wastefully in this country. is the u.d. headed for fiscal catastrophe? hello. i m jake tapper in washington where the state of our union is classified. president biden is in atlanta focusing on the legacy of the late reverend martin luther king jr. here i
very hard to do. but in that commandment, in my view lies the essence of the gospel and the essence of the american promise. when we see each other as neighbors, not enemies, the progress and justice come. when we see each other as fellow human beings, as children of god, we begin to walk the path of dr. king s beloved community. the path is dream inspired, and his legacy propels us forward to this day. here s what i learned in my life and career along that path, as many of you have learned along your path. we re all imperfect beings. we don t know where and what fate will deliver to us and when. but we can do our best to seek a life of light, hope and love. and, yes, truth. truth. that s what i try to do every day, to build the future we all want. we re reminding ourselves that nothing, nothing is guaranteed in democracy. nothing. every generation is required to keep it, defend it, protect it, to be repairers of the breach. and to remember the power to redeem the soul of ame
hello and welcome to the programme. in iran, a fire has broken out at the notorious evin prison in the capital tehran, where political prisoners including dozens of foreign nationals are being held. in videos posted on social media, gunshots and an alarm can also be heard. the state news agency has reported that a riot by inmates has been put down and the situation is back to normal. it comes as iran enters its fifth week of nationwide protests, sparked by the death in custody of a young woman detained for not correctly wearing the mandatory headscarf. the internet was shut down across much of the country on saturday, but videos have emerged showing protests in a dozen cities, including tehran. in the northwestern city of ardabitl, there have been reports of the security forces opening fire on demonstrators and protesters throwing rocks and chanting death to the dictator . and a couple minutes time, we will speak with the correspondent with more details about what we do and

and saying that he was able to declassify whatever he wants. joyce, put that make sense of that for us? explain that to us. well, i d love to make sense of it, katy, but it doesn t make much in the way of sense. it is a shocker that the former president would try to distract from his own problems but invoking barack obama who by all accounts including this official one complied fully with the presidential records act. when it comes to these new suggestions that trump could have declassified these documents on his way out the door, this rings a little bit too good to be true. and certainly the president has declassification authority, he can do it with far less need to dot the i s and cross the t s than someone else could. but if for instance i had walked out of my office with tss, ci information which we re being told what was recovered in the execution of this search warrant, it is clear that if i had refused to turn it over or tried to keep it hidden saver a request was
