Ellis, they have their mugshots taken, they have been arrested, fingerprinted. they have their bond agreements, rudy giuliani actually yesterday went to a boil bondsman, sew lengths i, to get the loan to put up his bond terms for the court system. so he was able to be released. they have all been released. as we await donald trump to come into town and to also be arrested, we are waiting for two other very recognizable figures in american politics. jeffrey clark, the justice department official, who had been wanting to or had been considered by donald trump to become the attorney general, to try to overturn the georgia vote, the popular vote after the election, he has not had his bond terms released if he had them negotiated, he has not been arrested yet. mark meadows, the chief of staff from the white house. they were trying to hold off their arrests and a judge yesterday came in and said, no, that s not going to be possible.
Just hold on. as you saw there, most of the republican candidates on that stage in the debate in milwaukee last night vowing to support president trump even if he s a convicted felon, despite trump s absence, there was no way for his republican rivals to ignore that strong support despite the legal troubles. the melee in milwaukee was like a prizefight that lacked the reigning champion. at best the debate turned into an audition in second place on a race that looks likely to catapult trump to his third conservative republican nomination zchlt any of the candidates do anything last night to slow him down? let s see what new hampshire s republican governor chris sununu thinks. he joins us at the table. would you have raised your hand to that question? look, i think what we saw last night was the republican party without donald trump. first time in six years.
well, look, every one of us on the stage signed a pledge to support the republican nominee. and, frankly, my hand was raised in that spirit, just in keeping my word. but i really do believe more after last night that donald trump is not going to be the republican nominee. i know that many of you in the media think this is already a rematch between trump and biden. i don t see that. i think last night the american people saw hopefully hopefully, they got a better sense of me and my role as a leader over the last 20 years. also, i think they got a better sense of what a deep bench the republican party has and that we have better choices for 2024 for our party. so i am more confident than ever that our party is going to give us a standard bear fit to the times, someone to lead us to victory in 2024 and i will work my heart out to make sure that s me. a few days ago, laurence
Really misled a great number of americans. so having all of the candidates on the field affirm that that, recognize, because i want people to know that on that fateful day, whatever the process of these various cases will be, is that president trump asked me to put him over my oath but i chose the constitution and i always will. former vice president mike pence, thank you for waking up early and speaking with us. thanks so much. thank you, victor. where do we start? first of all, that was really a brilliant question thank you. on rookie? and he didn t answer it. if it s disqualifying for vivek ramaswamy, donald trump he said ready on day one. a rookie in the same one. so interesting. and the last question about the 14th amendment and this argument from a renowned legal scholar that pence relied on on january
Again. putin is in a much worse situation regardless whether or not prigozhin is still alive. steve hall, former cia chief of russia operations, really important perspective. thanks very much. so, last night eight republican candidates took the debate stage trying to narrow that very large gap between them and former president trump. did it resonate with voters? harry enten with the debate s most searched moments. firefighters in greece, look at this, racing to contain more than 200 wildfires that have been breaking out since monday, including nearly 100 in the last 24 hours. cnn s has been covering this story. this is what is left of one of the most beautiful hiking trails in greece. this is known as the lands of athens. now burned to the ground. we handcraft every stearns & foster® using the finest materials,
