in a number of different people. and they never once spoke about any business dealings as he described it. it was all casual conversation, niceties, the weather. >> while democrats say the closed-door testimony prove nothing, republican said it shows present by the light when he said he never talked business with his son. archer's attorney said in the statement we are aware all sides claiming victory but all devon archer did was show up in answer the questions. the white house has been asked to repeatedly show the president communicated with his son hunter about his business dealings. speak with the president was never in business with his son. >> as they aim to tie president biden's to his son's legal troubles, they are investigating how hunter biden was trying to resolve gun and tax charges with federal prosecutors. a deal collapsed last week in court and republicans called the arrangement unusual and say it

raises serious concerns about preferential treatment by the biden justice department. hunter biden thought that plea deal would end his legal extortion but the prosecutors left open the possibility of additional charges. the judge gave both sides until later this month to present more information to the court, george. >> new covid concerns a number of people testing positive in the hospitals appears to be picking up. stephanie ramos with a reality check what those numbers mean, good morning, stephanie. >> hey, michael, good morning. almost impossible to tell how many covid he says there are a peer stop taking track and most people don't report their cases anymore. the best way to track the virus is those that test positive during hospital admissions. that number pretty small is on the rise. according to new numbers from the cdc overnight, covid hospitalizations increased 12% ending july 22nd to the prior week.

to put that in perspective, hospitalization still remain at record lows. there were a little more than 8,000 weekly hospitalizations and just to compare, peak omicron was more than 150,000. deaths have not increased but there could be reporting delays. the federal government is setting its site on treating along covid with new studies and a new office to lead the response from those suffering from covid. >> okay. >> robin: the u.s. women advancing in the world cup a two-time defending champion came in portugal ended in a drawer. megan rapinoe in auckland, new zealand, maggie, good morni. >> robin good morning you hear the team cheering on team usa at the game wrapped up a few hours ago after a brutal 98 minutes of play and team usa ending in a nail-biter town 0-0 against portugal. you know it was not fitting but the team got the job done and they are making it out of groups

tied to the netherlands. inside it was packed, stressed but the edge of their seat the entire game. portugal scoring in the final few minutes. one moment you're absolutely u.s. legend megan rappa no ran out in the second half. we caught up with her after the game. >> ultimately we got what we won a debt of the group which was to get to the next stage. so we could be going home and that would be very terrible. this has nothing to sad about. >> after the game of the players told us the elimination round as they hold a new ball game, they are ready. guys, we will follow them to melbourne with a face-off much tougher opponent, sweden. they beat them 3-02020 olympics. we will be there cheering.
