raised around conversations between trump and the ukrainian president which is why i supported the inquiry. it needs to be done in a narrowly focused way and must be done transparently. i don't know what is going on in closed doors. we in congress don't have access to the information being shared and the american people deserve to know what the facts are in the evidence being presented as the inquiry goes on. todd: the controversy, tulsi gabbard said the questions only hunter biden can answer. two men charged in the shooting difficult when you deputy including the person who called 911. christopher ross is charged with manslaughter for leaving out crucial details that could have made ryan ishmael's life. >> sure. todd: he revealed the man called 911 when marijuana was smelled on his property.
