Running mate. Ill ask him this morning. Plus challenging biden, the new Special Counsel appointment fuels more criticism from republicans. If he were a republican he would have been in jail a long time ago. Biden is also facing critics from within his own party on his capacity to serve. Ill talk to democratic congressman dean philips of minnesota who is actively calling for more primary challenger to biden. And red alert. That vote in ohio is pretty sobering. Ohioet voers deliver a victory to supporters of Abortion Rights and offer another warning sign for republicans. If republicans are just focused on one issue theyll have a bit of a challenge. Support for legal action for abortion is winning inside red and blue states from kansas to kentucky to michigan. Will it be a motivating factor for voters in 2024. Joining me for insight and analysis are. Politico mriback coauthor eugene daniels. Republican strategist brandon buck. Is imoen sanderstownsend, former spokesperson for Kamala Harri
Thanks alex. The Breaking News at this hour tonight is the astonishing news that Donald Trumps Criminal Defense Lawyer, john lauro, who did a very solid and serious job in the courtroom today during Donald Trumps third criminal arraignment of the year, where donald trump once again pleaded not guilty, that lawyer then went On Television and any fact pleaded donald trump guilty to the charge of attempting to obstruct an official proceeding and conspiracy to defraud the United States. Everyone except donald trump knows the criminal defendants should not speak publicly about their cases. The same is almost always true for Criminal Defense Lawyers.

Most successful Criminal Defense Lawyers never grant television interviews, never. Too many of Donald Trumps lawyers are too eager to talk on trump supporting television about their client. And so tonight trump Criminal De
Stretched these statutes in order to try to capture this behavior. Laura for me the words farcical. Ridiculous, abusive those words came to mind. But, after going over the document for the second time earlier today i realized its far worse than any of that what jack smith and his boss Merrick Garland are doing not just to trump, but to the nation Going Forward is devastating. Now, the doj, the white house, every member of Congress Knows the truth. The rag tag group of maga supporters who busted into the capitol on january 6th it no meaningful effect on the democratic process on that day. Only propagandists could call it an insurrection. After all, the election was certified and Donald Trump Left Office on january 20th. The real conspiracists working to deprive people of their rights are found at the department of justice. And their Press Spokesman include news anchors, reporters, and pundits across the regime media. I think the sum total of their knowledge about law and history seems t

Im max foster. Bianca is off today. But just ahead someone who engaged in that kind of bullying, a process that is fundamental to our system and to our self government, shouldnt be anywhere near the oval office. Sadly the president was surrounded by a group of crack pot lawyers that kept telling him what his itching ears wanted to hear. I strongly disagree with fitchs decision and i believe that it is entirely unwarranted. Hate has no place in our community.
