stepian s recorded deposition to try to establish key facts about today s theme, the big lie, that donald trump knew he lost election, but continued anyway to rally his supporters around the false claim that he had won. we re also moments away from the supreme court releasing new decisions possibly on the key mississippi abortion case. we ll bring you any of the big cases as we learn about them. let s start with today s hearing because this missing stepian throws a wrench into the committee s plans after laying out how this would play out during the first prime time hearing last week. indeed, it does. because as we ve seen before, in-person testimony is so much more powerful even than the clips they showed of ivanka trump, for instance, on thursday night as we were showing on friday in the hearings. so the appearance in person would have been much more impactful. of course we re excited for them and his wife and their impending new baby, but that is the reality of what ha

Harrington, argan Virginia Tech student from roanoke, went missing after a concert in charlottesville five years ago. Her body was found three months later in a rural area. Hannah graham was in downtown charlottesville early in september, and they say jesse was the for last to see her. Inthew, arrested last week texas, is currently being held in the albemarle jail. I cannot imagine what it must feel like for her parents. The search continues for hannah throughout southern albemarle county. Tivo in charlottesville hope todays news people in charlottesville hope todays news is at least some hope to the harrington family. They hadd love it if some closure, but i would also like to know that we have closure. Authorities announced a dna connection between the morgan of Morgan Harrington and a Sexual Assault in fairf
In between those two things. Again, we anticipate that after the governor, jay nixon, makes his statement around 6 30 this evening, the st.
