thank you for joining us. alex is off tonight. the biden butter of conservative media for years now husband hyping up an investigation into president biden s old son hunter biden. and never seemed to end. the investigation, which was open in 2018, under trump s justice department, has then a black box of sorts by republicans. they use it to create a symmetry that didn t really exist between trump s alleged crimes, when they speculated was the crime ridden biden family. so long as this case was open, and the investigation was behind closed doors, they could really make it whatever they wanted it to be. even though that was the case even the republicans have been dining out on the hunter investigation for years, they also have been up in arms about how it hadn t finished yet. they were aghast that trump was indicted before hunter. they wanted hunters case resolved immediately. today we have closure in that case. today, we have the news that hunter biden is expected to enter a
trial in argus, we will have different trials in different jurisdictions. all competing to get the same defendant in their courtroom. but as we discussed, this august trial set in the southern district of florida is not a real setting. everyone knows that there will not be a trial in the month of august. but it will be at some point in the future. judges are used to situations like this where they have to coordinate and work together. it may be that the cases that were earlier filed of course the case in manhattan, is the first one. and the federal case will move forward, but that is something that we will have to work out amongst everyone involved in the prosecutions. i want you both to quickly listen to former president trump in an interview with fox just yesterday describing the documents he discussed in the reporting of the july 2021 meeting at his golf club in new jersey. there was no document. that was a massive amount of papers, and everything else, talking about iran and ot
americans should care about. independent of the choices they would personally make for themselves, right? this is fundamentally about freedom. the right to make decisions about your own life, and your own body. this is a foundational principle for our country. we are founded on the notion that government should, at some point, stay out of people s business. joining us now, nancy north, the president and ceo of the center for reproductive rights. a year since the fall of row this added a, take a big step back for me. tell me where you think we are today, in the fight for reproductive rights. let me just start with today. police. which is the first lady, sitting around the table with four women who ve had pregnancy crises. had to have abortions what were denied because florida and texas and louisiana. we didn t say this before the
possible to former president trump in the mar-a-lago documents case. now, the times reports that this is likely an effort to avoid having the case delayed by distracting fights. the end result though, is that trump is getting the kid glove treatment. quote, the judge assigned to handle trump s arraignment did something of a double take during the proceeding on tuesday, when the justice department offered the former president a bond deal that was not merely lenient, but impose no restrictions on him at all. jack smith opted not to request conditions routinely imposed on other defendants seeking to be released from custody, like cash bail, limits on domestic travel, returning his passport. he was so lenient and differential to trump that the magistrate judge actually pushed back against it, and imposed some restrictions on trump against smith s wishes. that is just in the courtroom. the actual charges against trump are actually differential. smith seems to have
hunter biden is expected to enter a plea deal for two tax misdemeanors and that investigation. he is also expected to strike a deal with prosecutors to resolve a felony gun charge. how all of which means, after five years of investigating and after years of conservatives claiming this was the investigation, that would topple the whole biden family, hunter is likely to plead guilty to two misdemeanors and serve some probation. this is what republicans wanted, right? accountability? proof that justice department was fair and balanced, and would prosecute anyone regardless of who they were the should be satisfied now, right? can we talk a little bit about the hunter biden plea deal, and your reaction? my first reaction is that it continues to show the two tiered system in america. if you were the presidents leading political opponent, and the doj tries to literally put you in jail. if you are the president s son, you get a sweet deal.
