Trumka wrote on truth social meeting earlier tonight to "the corrupt biden administration has informed my attorneys that i have been indicted seemingly over the house, even though joe biden has 1,850 boxes at the university of delaware, additional boxes in chinatown, dc, with even more boxes at the university of pennsylvania and documents strewn all over his garage floor where he parks his corvette." it is worth noting the investigation into expressed in bidens handling of documents is ongoing. ...

Over. im standing between you and them, that the justice department has been weaponized, the fbi has been weaponized. one of the points i think makes it tougher here is this espionage act charge. >> and we dont know if that is one of the seven counts? >> we dont know. based on the search warrant, its the espionage act. when you paint yourself and youre a patriot and youre the president of the united states, i cant imagine a worse phrase to be used with the president of the united states than the...

I cant imagine a worse phrase to be used with the president of the united states and the espionage act. when you hear it, it just makes you sick to your stomach. and so, i think people will viscerally react to it, differently than anything else he has been charged with so far. conspiracy, obstruction. i think those things the president can make go away. and the people who follow the president wont pay that much attention to it. when you push someone and say, the president is alleged to a violate...

Mike pence didnt do anything intentionally. and immediately did the right thing. which is as soon as he found something, he said, you need to come get this stuff. whereas, you could read about the indictment coming out, about chapter and verse, about obstruction. including not just false certification. but it could include tampering with witnesses as people have speculated. >> one thing mike pence did not do after it was revealed that there were documents found in his possession, its go on telev...

Be interpreted as too much time. i ran the justice department of communications during that period. my hope here is that the doj will condense that timeframe and speak quickly when the court allows to the american people. >> you are definitely the expert on this subject tonight, frank. you have been following this closely closely. whats your reaction? >> a couple of things. one is that we are here. the system does work, and yes, it does take a long time, but we got here. i think whats interestin...
