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
