Committee and between hunter biden. the committee wants to do it differently. they believe that this should happen first in a closed door long form deposition, without the spectacle that would come from a potential public hearing. and so that s why this showdown exists. to be clear, it is up to congress to set the rules for these investigations. it is normal practice in an investigation like this for there to be a closed door transcribed interview that would precede a public hearing. that is something that james comer said he would be willing to offer hunter biden if it got to that stage. but his attorneys believe this particular situation is too politically charged and any sort of conversation that happens behind closed doors, excerpts of it could be leaked out and used for political purposes against hunter biden and potentially of course his father, the president of the united states. the sum total of all of this is that the contempt resolution is likely to move forward, it will pass ....
The state and local level about the 2024 race. how prepare ready they? what did they say are their biggest concerns? thank you for having me on. it s my pleasure to be here. the unique thing is we are asking the election workers about their beliefs and attitudes towards their preparedness from a cybersecurity aspect for elections. one finding that we got is about half of the respondents said they are not prepared or only somewhat prepared to deal with cybersecurity incidents, to detect and respond to them, leading up to the election. this is not totally surprising given that in my work with state and local governments, they are often overburdened and overwhelmed, underfunded. it s something that gives us indication that there s significant room for improvement as we move toward the general election. you found that more than a third of local officials say their cybersecurity budget is inadequate to address their own concerns. ....
Leaders see this future, which is something that donald trump started with the abraham accords, and the trump administration, that the saudi piece is the last part of all of this, that israel, the saudis, and the u.s. were hoing could be realized is very much on the table at the u.n. in september. then the gaza war happened. i asked specifically, is it now dead? what did the crown prince in saudi arabia say? and he said, he said that that is still a goal, could still be possible if there is an end it the war and a palestinian state, palestinian rights. andrea mitchell, thank you for all of your reporting. and you can see andrea s full exclusive interview with secretary blinken in the next hour here on msnbc. meantime, pressure points, lawmakers on capitol hill pressing for more answers from the pentagon after revelations of defense secretary austin s cancer diagnosis. you re watching ana cabrera reports. stay right there. re watching aa ....
Possibly secretary austin. this is something they re marking the start of this year as an oversight impeachment year, it is also an election year, so because of this, and all of these political dynamics today will be one to watch. but as ryan said, it is expected that they will successfully report out this resolution and then it will head to the house floor for a vote. julie, i ll let you go, so you can go and see what is happening. barb, the house could vote to hold in contempt hunter biden. that would send this to the department of justice. are there contempt claims legitimate, do you think? would you expect the doj to move forward with charging contempt? so this is really interesting. i think from a political matter, before congress, hunter biden likely is in contempt. that s because he doesn t get to call the shots. if the house wants to have him behind closed doors, he wants to be in public, it is not his call. so i think he could very well be in contempt of congress. now, mak ....
