S. President ial election anybody any american whether you read the loop should be extremely disturbed by what happened here today but you continue to hold it is a shoe of the Justice Department this is disgusting this is absolutely is it is the continued hold ization of the Justice Department that we have seen and it has to stop if this can happen to the former president s lawyer this can happen to any american gabrielle is on those in new york with more on the investigation. It shows that the federal investigators are closing in on Rudy Giuliani and that their investigation into his him that has been going on for more than 2 years is advancing and advancing significantly also for federal investigators to raid a home such as this of a suspect they need to get permission from a judge in order in order to get that permission they need to show the judge that they have a reasonable amount of evidence that the person the suspect committed a serious crime so clearly they have been able to convince a judge because they clearly got the authorization they needed to carry out this raid d. O. J. And any federal agents are not commenting at all about this raid but the New York Times and others are reporting from sources that federal agents confiscated several elektra onic devices from giulianis home and were also finding out late on wednesday now that there are raids of more people as well associates of Rudy Giuliani outside of new york 2 in particular 2 lawyers that are associates of him have confirmed that their offices were raided wednesday afternoon as well so clearly this is closing in on Rudy Giuliani this investigation by federal officials that we believe is traced back to giulianis ties to ukraine. Well saying in the u. S. Just under 3 hours the President Joe Biden is you give his 1st speech 20 point session of congress hes expected to use it to outline his American Families plan the 1. 8 trillion dollars package will have a strong focus on education and child care with a call for free preschool and Community College by that is also expected to push politicians to take a harder stance against china while stressing the importance of investing in america to compete with the worlds 2nd largest economy all of this comes of course on the eve of his 100th day in office lets go live to our White House Correspondent kimberly how can really what can we expect from joe biden tonight. We got some excerpts from the president of his speech and in it he will talk about how he inherited a nation in crisis but he believes he is turning peril into possibility and to that end he will be touting a number of his big spending packages not only the infrastructure plan which will be financed by taxing corporations but also that family plan that you mentioned that for the 1st time could see direct payments to families in the lower and middle classes as well as free Community College as the 1st 2 years of Postsecondary Education and also that he believes that the way to do this is through taxing the highest income earners in america to help those in the working class now in addition to this he is going to essentially sell the message that he believes that there is a bigger role for government in peoples lives that Big Government works and also hes going to sell the message that he believes democracy works and as well this is sort of going to be the thrust of his message that he believes that there is reason for optimism and even as were still in the midst of the pandemic he will tell some of the successes hes made on that front as well with respect to vaccinations and more than half of america now with at least one shot in their arm to really bring the country together after 4 years of trouble was a big Campaign Platform for President Biden so on how do you think going to address that. Well what we know is that already this is something thats not going to be well received from a lot of conservatism fabric thats of excerpts from the Top Republican that gives kind of the rebuttal speech if you will is from tim scott the only africanamerican in the u. S. Senate and what hes going to say is that just remember guys it was all this vaccine successful it came because of donald trump and all. Gratian warp speed and thats where the vaccines were developing you inherited that to another message that hes going to say is that and this is true before the pandemic there was historically low unemployment in the United States and this included workers of color and that he believes the answer is not these Big Government spending programs but what conservatives believe is that its americans that can build back in that history under donald trump showed that so thats the message that is going to be said by republican tim scott so when it comes to unity it still appears at least from these excerpts so far that america remains divided at least here on capitol hill came over how kate with the latest from capitol hill thank you.
