Joe Biden

Former US president Donald Trump was in a federal court in Florida on Friday for a hearing to set a date for his trial on charges of mishandling classified documents.

Special counsel Jack Smith, who brought the charges, has asked District Judge Aileen Cannon to move the scheduled start date for Trump's trial from the current May 20 to July 8.

Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) revealed that even some Republican lawmakers agreed with Hunter Biden that Jared Kushner was probably more worthy of investigation than him.

President Joe Biden's son testified for more than six hours this week in a closed-door deposition, where he denied his father's involvement in his foreign business dealings and then, Goldman told MSNBC's "Morning Joe," offered a comparison of what he's accused of doing as a private citizen and the actions Donald Trump's son-in-law took while serving as a White House official.

House Republicans continue to press forward with an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, but even conservative media outlets are growing impatient and increasingly skeptical.

The inquiry has failed to turn up any evidence connecting the president to his son's business dealings, and Hunter Biden told lawmakers in a closed-door deposition that his father had no involvement whatsoever, and Fox News and Newsmax hosts have pressed Republicans to prove their allegations.
