Pred Biden News Today

good day. im chris jansing live at msnbc headquarters in new york city. new political and potentially legal headaches for president biden after a second batch of classified documents is found at his delaware home. will attorney general merrick garland weigh in when he makes a statement a few minutes from now? plus george santos facing new calls to resign including from even more of his republicans in his home state. but hes making it clear hes staying in congress. can he and gop lead...

got him to this point, and why he chose mr. hur. lets get into it. joining me now is nbc news justice and intelligence correspondent ken dilanian, so ken, was this all made more urgent by the discovery of even more documents this time in a garage next to the presidents corvette, is this why we got a special counsel today? >> that certainly is the sense you get, if there isnt a direct relationship, it certainly had to contribute, because think about what we have here. we have a u.s. att...

This pretty quickly. but the political narrative as we already know, katy, is well under way, and in hand of his political opponents who are doing the what-about-ism, who are doing the, you know, the disparate justice, that theyre treating biden differently from trump, ignoring, as you put up at one point, the clear comparative facts between, oh, my lawyers found this while we were going through some documents and turned it over within 24 hours, versus a year-long effort that involves subpoenas ...

Action they took, by sending in the fbi, and getting the courts involved. so it is very clear the differences here. but youre absolutely right, katy, there is no getting around the good reporting by our reporters, the strong legal analysis that lays out the factual case, that distinguishes between these two in the face, the full frontal assault of the politics of this, to try to stain the president and to be honest, to divert from everything else that the republican party has got going on right ...

Same way, presumption of guilt from the outset, the way president biden was treated. how is that argument going to play when republicans start beating that drum over and over again, michael? >> well, they will beat that drum knowing that the facts belie the drum that theyre beating. they know damn well why president trumps home was raided to use their term by the fbi, they know why, but theyre not going to cede that ground politically because it is a better narrative going after the current pres...

Hur is an outstanding choice for counsel and i knew him from my time at the department of justice and i think he will do a good job in concluding the investigation and reaching sound jums and decision, judgments and decisions to merrick garland. we dont know why there is a haphazard approach to locations used by the former vice president, now president of the united states. it seems to me that at the outset there should have been a blanket surge of activity by counsel on president bidens behalf ...

700,000 refugees and will continue to do so, for everyone that needs it. regardless of race, nationality or religious creed. the attack on ukraine affects europe and its sense of security. poland decided to immediately increase its defense spending budget to 3% of its gdp, beginning next year. as a key country for defending the nato eastern flank, poland has welcomed the alliances swift reaction to a renewed strategy and circumstances. and conveyed to secretary blinken my thanks to president bid...

Fled countries, and that are you a tock -- autocracies that brutalize their own people and the concern is in our hemisphere is putin is lurking in the shadows like cuba and venezuela, propping up dictators and the advance that he is engaged in now is threatening the region there and you are potentially going to see other countries, if we dont stop his advance. other countries, jeopardized as well. and we feel that over here, not only from my constituents, who have fled situations like this, but ...

Russias unprovoked, unwarranted, pre-meditated invasion. and nato, and the european union, the chair in office this year, poland is doing vital work to respond to this crisis. its hosted an increased nato presence. its supported the robust eu sanctions against russia. and it has done a great deal to facilitate security assistance to ukraine. as nato allies, defense cooperation between poland and the united states, i think its safe to say is closer than its ever been. since january 30th, the unit...
