me. some are not. this question over what was the scope of david weiss, the u.s. attorney s authority. david weiss and merrick garland have said he was given a blank check. he could have gone wherever he wanted. david weiss was a trump employee. merrick garland has been an absolute truth teller and straight shooter. i think the most interesting allegation that does need to be looked into is that this claim that certain avenues of investigation were cut off. as a prosecutor you re supposed to take your leads wherever they go. follow them wherever they may go. and if it s the case that somebody said let s not look there. let s not push too strongly on that, then we need to know that and i think the whistle-blowers need to be heard on that. tdo you think this ends with garland or the u.s. attorney here coming forward publicly and explaining what happens? it sounds like after hunter biden is supposed to be in court next week to appear on these misdemeanor tax charges he s facing, then
but they did hear from will russell, this personal aide to him. a man who never testified to the congressional committee as far as we know. we have no transcript of his interview there, but the special counsel s office had questions for him at this late stage in this investigation, and questions about interactions he had with donald trump while donald trump was still in office. he was a person that worked for the white house at the end of the administration. those questions were so aggressive that it essentially derailed him answering. his lawyer came in and there was a standoff that made his lawyer late to go to another hearing for another client in the same building. a judge took notice of this and was quite flustered. didn t know what to do. brought the prosecutors in to talk to them. you never see that in court where the special counsel s office is called out of the grand jury to talk to a judge. still a lot of questions around what s going on there exact sk skly. that s super in
the investigators are moving fast on a lot of different fronts. that is what appears to be happening here. they re telling donald trump that he s very likely to be indicted sending him that target letter and then also scheduling these witness interviews, the ones that we know of so far is that there is a former trump lawyer who s scheduled to come in next month to sit for an interview, and then also bernie kerik, a man who was very close to rudy giuliani who was working on that effort to gather election frauld and come up with plans after the election for donald trump. the special counsel s office also want documents from him. he s pushed back on a lot of inquiries for records that he has in his possession when congress asked for them, when people in a civil lawsuit asked for them, and so that is a track of the investigation that still exists. now, the thing that when you look at this, it doesn t aull mean that the special counsel s office has one case and one case
it appeared to me based on what i experienced that the u.s. attorney in delaware in our investigation was constantly ham strung, limited and marginalized by doj official as well as other u.s. attorneys. i still think that a special counsel is necessary for this investigation. i m not here about hunter biden. i m here about the pbigger picture of all of this. i blew the whistle because i saw inappropriate things being done throughout this investigation. i brought facts. i brought things that had happened as i recalled them to congress. the u.s. attorney, david weiss has made clear that he believed he had the ultimate authority. those are very specific and very damaging claims that have been made under oath. yeah, i think both of the whistle-blowers who we ve seen here. i don t question their motive, and i think they re to be taken seriously. i think some of the things they re saying are a concern to
is free to appear in congress, and it sounds like it s likely he will be there to answer some of these questions. it seems inevitable to some degree and necessary. perhaps worthwhile. this is different than an investigation into a former current president, there s a loft public interest in it so i suspect we ll hear something in the future. thank you both very much. more on the news breaking vo overnight, russia continuing its attacks on ukraine s southern ports destroying tons of grain. we re going to take you live to ukraine. stay with us. every time i dried it! only takes a minute.e. look at that! the heavy y duty cloths are extra thick, for amazing trap & lock. even for his hair. wow. and for dust, i love my heavy duty duster. the fluffy fibers trap dust on contact, up high and all around without having to lift a thing. i m so hooked. you ll love swiffer. or your money back! my relationship with my credit cards wasn t good. i got into debt in college,
