we appreciate melanie's sort of former federal prosecutor, so donald trump know in court due to appear at any moment now it's 4 o'clock here in the united states. this is the time that he was due to make that appearance in court. if me, i mean, is anything to go by, it'll probably run somewhere around 40 to 50 minutes, and then he's out of here. there's some told that he may even speak to the media afterwards. there's a media band traveling with him. like a, a president would have so there's every possibility we'll hear from donald.

here they demonstrate their indignation towards georgia melanie.pro-russian rallies, italy people for cooperation with russia, uh, really, that is, the italian society. it's split. that is. uh, even the same parliamentary election results someone and that is, it's 50 to 50 50 really voted for tunes in due to the fact that there was simply no other candidate, that is, the melody for them was a candidate, like faith in change. well, so, they also believed in traditional values , obviously. she played on it. no, that is, just all the other candidates. they have already been either deputy prime ministers or prime ministers and so on, that is, all the other candidates. they have already tried them italians and the country is in crisis, there is no improvement. and it was at least some kind of fresh version for them. actually, therefore part voted for the melody part voted for other political forces. well , the classic ones are always interesting for us to understand, in general. where does it come from? yes, here is a person changing his position like t

all right, now that many thanks a lot of thanks also to madison's melanie slide. less closely with the heidi joe castro who's standing by. because we believe donald trump is entering ever closer to the courthouse. heidi, none of this needed to watch. do you happen to impose activities in one of these vehicles? so it go ahead hard. no, but you know he, it's no surprise that he is up here. i am person and we're expecting him to be and one of these vehicles are passing behind me. this is sort of the backside of the court house or we were just talking to alan. and these police cars are part of the motorcade that are supporting the former president from the, the nearby airport. they are expected to make this round this corner, and then most likely they will go into an underground garage. so you may not see trump himself at all. you may see him drive by as we're speaking here. but you can see the level of security. it was really ramped up in the last hour or 2 as his arrival was eminent. i'm actually squeezed between uh, 2 dump trucks. these are parks here. there's about a dozen of them bloc

well, joining us also from washington dc now is melanie sloan. she's a former federal prosecutor and an attorney with expertise to and government ethics . melanie, let me start by asking if you're surprised by the length of the sentence as in the biggest case, it was just a, a hoff big is that prosecutions requested. you know, it's not surprising. it's stewart roads. another leader of the proud boys earlier was sentenced to 18 years. so the judges have made clear that they take these cases extremely seriously. oh, it's now saying the proud boy is essentially decapitated in terms of its leadership . is this a way to try to assess an example, send a message to other extreme districts? absolutely, i think there's a lot of concern going into the 2024 elections, especially with former president trump running again and speaking regularly about the problem of fraud. there's a lot of concern in the united states about how the elections will turn out, and they want to make sure that we don't see a repeat of what we saw in 2020. of course. well, let me ask

just as long as you're alive , melanie tsarev won't want to kill me. do you think i gave up on them? so it was an informant from my department who worked with you. who was that? you figured it out yourself. stand well, who are you the new guard your chance for salvation? and what should be done? i want you to arrange a meeting with the king for me. now i'm not that person. of course, if you don't want get. i can prove to the king that you are not to blame. and why should he believe you at least, because i work in the makar department . well, you say? what if i say yes, then i'll lock you in here and come back tomorrow. and if i say no then. because if i told you no, you would have killed me for fear that i would betray you makar, but i will tell you yes and not at all because i am afraid of being killed. i hope you understand this, now hold on and get out of here. i need to be alone to think. careful doctor, well did you manage to extract the microchip you that jokes wanted to joke our look, it looks like i'm joking, well, there is a fairly fresh scar

melanie zanona has the details for you. >> reporter: house republicans are inching closer and closero launching an impeachment of president joe biden. i'm told kevin mccarthy has told fellow republicans that he plans to open up an impeachment inquiry and he hopes to start the process by the end of september. behind the scenes he has started to seriously strategize about what this process would look like and how he will message on what is still a very politically risky effort. let's take a listen to what he said on fox news. >> if you look at all the information we've been able to gather so far, it is a natural step forward that you would have to go to an impeachment inquiry. there is a lot of questions still. and to be able to get the answers to these questions, you would need impeachment inquiry to empower congress. >> reporter: so mccarthy clearly trying to get republicans on board by arguing that an impeachment inquiry would give them more leverage in their investigations into the biden family. but as of right now, republicans do not have the votes for impeachment. and that is bec

and now, we are joined by melanie from the hill. >> this is a familiar playbook from the republicans,estigate the investigators. and we did receive this inquiry into fulton county d.a. fani willis. they want to know if there is any coordination and communication between her office and special coukcounsel jack sm who indicted trump on two other cases, which she has flat-out denied. and also, they want know if any federal funds were used in the state level probe of donald trump's state election interference, and also, using some things down the line, that the house judiciary committee is looking at a bill to allow former and current presidents to move either civil and criminal cases from the state court to federal court. that is something that was first introduced after trump was indicted by the manhattan district attorney's office, but it is gaining new steam after this georgia indictment, and lawmakers don't have a ton of jurisdiction over the state level issues and even on the federal level, they are running into resistance in the efforts to intervene in the ongoing criminal case, bu

cnn melanie zanona has more from capitol hill. >> reporter: house republicans are turning up the heatn hunter biden. the house oversight committee on monday held a deposition with devin archer, he is a former business associate of hunter biden. he served on a board of ukrainian energy company along with hunter biden. and republicans wanted to bring himt in because they thought he could reveal key information about president joe biden. and whether he was involved in any of his son's foreign business deals. that is a link that the white house has furiously denied and a link that republicans have yet to establish. but one of the things that republicans were particularly interested in was whether president joe biden ever spoke with any of hunter's business partners. democratic congressman dan goldman was print for that deposition and he confirmed that hunter biden did put joe biden, who was vice president at the time, on speakerphone around 20 times in the presence of his business partners, but goldman was adamant that no business was discussed and those conversations were casual. there s
