some in the field and we are seeing some like former our concert governor asa hutchinson -- former arkansas governor asa hutchinson telling trump to pull out of the race. he says the country doesn't need to be dealing with. there are others like the biotech entrepreneur who has not only joined others in condemning this weaponization of the federal judicial system and prosecutorial system but also saying he would pardon trump if he reelected to the nation's highest office. there is definitely a difference of opinion among the republicans who are competing alongside trump for the gop nomination. again, when we back earlier this year to alvin bragg's case in manhattan against trump, this is similar to what we heard at that point, a first wave of not only support for trump in terms of standing alongside him and saying this case is not something that should have been brought, but also an overall questioning of the system under which it was being brought. we will continue to see how this statement evolves. it's interesting to point out that we heard from a lot of candidates and fellow republicans

i criticized the democratic party in arkansas because they had a party loyalty oath.e a republican party that's trying to not just protect their princip principles, which i support, but they're trying to protect a particular person and say that the trump party is dominating. i think we're about our principles and about the party itself, the republican party. so i want to be on the debate. i expect to be on the debate stage. this is challenging. wolf, if i might add, i've handled these kind of cases before. i know how long it's going to take. ordinarily you might have this case against donald trump tried next june, but i suspect that it's going to be ongoing and so we're going to be far into the year and not know the outcome of that trial. so, they're asking us to pledge support across the board for a candidate that we don't know what's going to be the outcome and that's clearly mishandled and alleged to have mishandled classified information. >> are you reconsidering participating in the rnc debates if you're forced to make this pledge? >> let's just wait and see how

what's happening in arkansas. do you expect this court proceeding to reveal any truth?i do actually because there's a judge there in arkansas and really means business and he's being fair to london roberts who is the mother of his child and why he had to slash the child support payments he has to make to her and was making to her for the $20,000 a month. he's now crying poor even while he's flying into arkansas in a private jet li living in a $25,0 a month malibu apartment and having his bills paid for him including $1.8 million tax bill by friends. i think that the judge is well within her rights to say to hunter biden, well, do what london roberts is asking, open your kimono and show us all your financials. how can we trust what you've put down when you've not been forthcoming. she's threatening to throw him in jail and hold him in contempt. rachel: he flew to a hearing in a private jet saying i don't have any money and don't want to give money to my kid. he's unbelievable. she may be able to force him to open the i did mo know what the fbi doesn't want to do. i'm pro

wagner: i yield as much time as he may consume to the author of this bill, the gentleman from arkansas, mr. hill, who is the chairman of the digital assets committee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized mr. hill: i thank the speaker and chair wagner and ranking member sherman for their strong words of support for my bill, which as ranking member sherman noted passed out of our committee unanimously by voice but passed this house of representatives twice already. most americans are prohibiting for investing in a wide variety of businesses. unless you are rich enough or what is called by the s.e.c. an accredited investor meaning you make $250,000 a year and you are not allowed to invest in private markets, only in our public companies. meanwhile, new businesses are staying private for longer because of bad policy from washington has made it increasingly expensive for companies to go public and remain a public company. in my view, that's not fair and it's not smart. so the current accredited rules favor the rich and affluent over people who have knowledge that are working
