new cnn reporting spotlights the momentum and the maneuvering inside the house gop effort to impeach the homeland security chief. and a revenge plot stoked by delusions of a rigged election. police arrest a former republican candidate in new mexico. they say he paid cash, gave gunmen address, even pulled the trigger in a scheme targeting the homes of elected democrats. up first for us this hour, the president of the united states unable to escape the gravity of a self-inflicted crisis. just moments ago president biden at the white house, you hear it there, appearing with the dutch prime minister. you can hear the president getting shouted questions. he gave no answers about the documents story that simply will not go away. the president s public posture sticking to the confines of what his lawyers have already said or avoiding questions altogether belies private angst inside the west wing. sources telling cnn the west wing mood where aides waiting along with everyone el ....
Wrote a great piece about governor ron desantis, one of the questions for ron desantis is he s not a back slapper. he is not a gland hander. could he be more likable? it marys in politics especially with donors in a great column about a recent event. what was more of a thrill to the donors than spicy rigatoni. i want that so what happened during the dinner? desantis and his wife went table and table thanking the attendees. he s absorbed the critique about aloofness. to many listening, if you re trying to raise money in a crowded primary and convince trump donors, dump trump, come to me. you re spending a few minutes with them. all you see here is their individual attempts to try to carve out their own lane or distinguish themselves or address liabilities because former president trump consumed so much political oxygen. he just automatically gets attention for who he is. so desantis is trying to address the likability issue. ....
The truth. reporter: well, the truth is that there s now this investigation of fairfax county schools in northern virginia, the whole scroll district is being investigated because at least three high schools failed to notify the students who had received the national merit scholarship corporation s comme commendations. this is an honorable mention saying these students are the top 50,000 of those taking these tests, 1.5 million taking tests to win these scholarships. those students were not told about this commendation in a timely manner. this is the sort of thing that it is an honor, something you d want to include in your early decision applications and gives you access to some special scholarships down the line like corporate scholarship, business sponsored scholarships usually smaller in number but does mean they re out of the running of the national merit scholarship competition. so this is a commendation but not like taking money right out of their pockets but you heard the gov ....
Would be an uncertainty to say pretty quick investigation and get a finding, does it drag on for months for whatever reason. one of the hopes of president biden s team and the democrats house republicans overstep. that house republicans just take this too far, get out over skis politically and help the president out of a mess of his own making. this is james comer, the chairman. he wants answers which he has every right to. the congress should want answer, democrats and republicans. the question is, is this too far? at the end of the day all we re asking for is equal treatment here. you know, why was mar-a-lago raided by the fbi, why did the fbi go and go through every room including melania s closet and take surveillance cameras from mar-a-lago but yet they haven t set foot to our knowledge on the premise of either the biden center for diplomacy or the biden residence. he s playing to the republican base. i get the politics. he s the chairman and important ....
And shifted in tone and still not rushing to do this. there are a lot of parallels to when speaker pelosi came in in 2019 democrats on the far left were immediately calling to impeach trump. she really took her time and did not want to do it and knew what a political football it was and here, remember, democrats still control the senate. they are not going to convict him so even if he were to somehow get the votes in the caucus, in the house it s not going to work in the senate and then at some point you have to govern, right? you have a debt ceiling to deal with in the summer. i don t see the politics here of rushing into this and doing it. it s yet another issue of a very legitimate issue for congress to look at. the question is will they do a performance review and raise questions about the biden administration? not just secretary mayorkas. he has a boss, the president of the united states, there s a white house team in charge of the border asking questions but, again, how does mc ....
