“Biden not only kept information he was not supposed to keep but he shared it with people who were not allowed to see it. He shared that information with his ghostwriter. Special counsel Hur said President Biden had ‘strong motivations’ to do so and to ignore the rules of properly handling the classified information in his notebooks. In fact, he ...
Three weeks before their GOP primary, Sens. Deb Fischer and Peter Ricketts took a politically risky move. The Nebraska Republicans had reversed their opposition to a massive national security package and voted to approve the funding even though it included $61 billion for shoring up Ukraine’s defenses.
