Pair of legal bombshells here in washington today that could have huge ramifications for the 2024 election. Last hour, attorney general Merrick Garland announced a federal prosecutor who is raiding hunter biden has been Special Counsel, at his question. David weiss requested the status change. Garland did grant that. This comes just a few hour after trumps lawyers and Special Counsel prosecutors appeared for the first hearing in the election interference indictment. A key ruling could come down at any moment. Were on top of this. Lets star with the hunter biden news. Kara, tell us about this special appointment.

That might be a bit of a difficult part of the testimony, and then well get to Cross Examination. That for Michael Cohen is kind of the ball game. The direct should go swimmingly, it is going swimmingly
