and cancellations at airports across the country just as folks are trying to get home from the holidays. charles watson is live at the airport in atlanta. charles, you know, i don t know, was it one hour or two hours ago you were giving an offering the workers there a round of applause. did you go and shake their hands? i hope so. i haven t gotten around to that just yet. i will in just a short time. it is absolutely packed here at the atlanta airport. this is a taste of what we re seeing, long lines like this. folks have been lined up at these delta counters trying to check in and drop their bags off so they can make it onto their flights. with the massive crowds and the weather delays not only are these folks in for a busy day but they could be in for a miserable day. that is possibly the outlook at airports across the country. thousands are still facing flight delays and cancellations as airline disruptions continue to build in large part due to the deadly arctic blas
very different timelines when it comes to the appointment of a special counsel when it comes to the handling of classified documents. merrick garland appointed a special counsel to investigate the handling of some classified documents. his appointment follows the development that a second set of classified documents were found, these in a storage space in the garage of president biden s home in wilmington, delaware. the president s lawyer said it was a small number of documents. watch. on january 5th, 2023, mr. laush briefed me on the results of his initial investigation and advised me that further investigation by a special counsel was warranted. based on mr. laush s initial investigation, i concluded that under the special counsel regulations, it was in the public interest to appoint a special counsel. as i have said before, i strongly believe that the normal processes of this department can handle all investigations with integrity, but under the regulations, the extraord
for the post presidency. is it a lack of imagination, it a failure of policy and politics that there is no mechanism to hold jared kushner accountable? well, it s also a lack of transparency, nicolle. to this day, we still don t know what foreign policy was conducted through the jared kushner office. he had a little tiny office about the size of a closet in the west wing, and i know for a fact that jared conducted diplomacy from whatsapp on his iphone. what happened in those conversation? what did he tell world leaders that the secretary of state didn t or the secretary of homeland security didn t. we don t know. and that s what s really dangerous, that lack of transparency. i can tell you, for instance, when jamal khashoggi was murdered allegedly at the behest of saudi leadership, jared swung by one day and saw us and said, well, you know, you ve got to see it the saudis way.
