The President’s son, Hunter Biden, pleaded not guilty to tax charges after the judge in his case refused to accept the plea agreement, citing concerns about the constitutionality of the immunity the deal would have granted Hunter Biden. The judge deferred the decision, unraveling this deal in federal court and surprising both sides. Before this, Republicans had criticized the plea bargain as a “sweetheart deal,” displaying political favoritism. The White House and DOJ are refuting accusations of meddling in the Hunter Biden investigations. On the Rundown, Anchor of The Story on FNC and host of The Untold Story podcast Martha MacCallum joins to discuss what may come next for the President and his son in this legal battle, how the collapse of this plea deal occurred, and what political consequences may be coming for the Biden administration.
Vice President Kamala Harris condemned the Florida State Board of Education’s new guidelines to teach the state’s public schools that slaves developed skills that personally benefited them. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was among the first of many to say Harris and other Democrats’ characterization of the new standards were ‘a clear misrepresentation.’ Gov. DeSantis fired back, explaining that the new teaching standards were created with the help of African American scholars. Florida Education Commissioner Manny Diaz Jr. joins the podcast to explain why he and Florida parents are standing behind these new guidelines and why those who helped create the curriculum strongly disagree with the Democratic critiques.
