I will always ask is any of this shady . Im Harris Faulkner and you are in the faulkner focus. Republicans are saying that david weiss is not the man for the job. They point back to the five years weiss has already spent looking into Hunter Bidens alleged tax and gun crimes. We sent a letter. I was one of those that sent a letter saying we should have a Special Counsel. On the other hand, i have some question about weiss doing it. This appointment is camouflage and it is coverup. I think its disgraceful. David weiss was the u. S. Attorney handpicked to lead this investigation who spent the last five years covering it up. This is a joke. Not only did weiss drag his feet for five years and try to negotiate a Sweetheart Plea Deal with the president s son, he also let the statute of limitations run out.

those who are still missing. we must continue to focus on finding every one of those people. harris: there were a lot of heroes on the ground. leading the search and rescue mission for maui fire response coast guard commander kristin hahn is in focus now. first of all i want to talk to you about the heroes on the ground right now and what they are doing to make a difference and fine survivors. good morning, harris. i would like to express my deepest sympathy for the community. the coast guard has been working with county and state partners since tuesday night. the call came in from american medical response, the local ambulance partner that we work with requesting we transport people from lahaina to the nearest safe haven to get them to the hospital. as we ramped up to send the boat from station maui we heard of people jumping in the water, as
