to believe. but yet we continue to see it. we'll see more of it. as joe biden gets ready for his reelection campaign. ari fleischer, there's going to be two major investigationshe and then there will be other investigations as well. some of the otheril investigations will be the origins of covid , withdra the disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan. but two big investigations seem to be coming from house e oversighcomingt. and that's jim comar. and he's going to be lookinge sd into he said t the president himself and hunter biden, that would be ukraine. money's made kazakhstan, china, bu said over 50 countries they've done business with . >> and whether or not there was influence peddling, that is in conjunction with the judiciary committee investigation that's h led by jim jordan into whether or not the fbi has been politicized and the dojonize. is weaponized. how impactful do you ho think those committees will be? >> i t all depends. o there's been a history of
saying he was frustrated by the media coverage. >> mattis resigned. president let him out the door sooner. president trump talking back plans for immediate withdrawl from syria. the original 30-day drawdown plan is physically impossible without significant risk to u.s. forces. four months is closer to reality. speaking to reporters at the cabinet meeting yesterday, the president would not commit to a longer timeline. >> you are describing withdra l withdrawal? >> somebody said four months. i didn't say that either. we're getting out of syria. >> cnn's barbara starr has the latest from the pentagon. >> reporter: dave and christine,
