former president trump asserts that there was a politicized process that resulted in his prosecution related to classified documents and other things? so for the public, if democrats and this administration say trust the department of justice, trust the institutions, but you re also arguing here gratuitous political cheap shots and false assertions. how are they to process this? i talked about this a minute ago, and i think, you know, when you have the former attorney general, when you have the former acting fbi director, when you have the former general counsel of the fbi, you know, these are experienced people at the justice department who spent decades working at the justice department and they re saying it s gratuitous, this isn t appropriate. this is inconsistent with the doj policy and practice. that s them saying it. we agree. you heard the president speak forcefully about this last night. you heard the vice president speak forcefully about this today. we agree that
where trump will likely pick up all of delegates.ls and we also expect comments on the disastrous for h his political opponent. president biden now facing questionisponent.s about whether he should step down following the blockbuster report from special counsel robert hur, who investigated the classifiect documents stored in the president s delaware garage. hethe report broadly and boldly called into question the president roadlys mental act something biden tried to dispute in y,a very unusualy evening news conference in the white house. the tried to assureameric americans that his mind a sound, but thenan immediately made a series of mistakes, including callinseg leader the president of mexico. and now republicans are asking biden s cabinet to consider invoking the 25th amendment, removing him from office. it all comes while former t president trump is about to claim victory in nevada. we have team fox coverage. senior national correspondent kevin corke live in d.c. with m
