there's no evidence of any wrongdoing by hunter biden i don't know what to tell you i made a mistake. and in retrospect as it related to. creating any perception that there was wrong and so therefore i'm taking it off the table and you know i'm making that commitment i ne body else makes that commitment but that's the commitment that i make in voting is due to finish sooner mozambique's general election the poll is taking place 2 months after the signing of a peace deal between the ruling for a party and its longtime rival the opposition party welcome what has more from up utah. people have lined up at polling stations across the country some waited in line for as long as 3 or 4 hours in similar scenes across the country except calvert delgado where the electoral commission says 7 polling stations didn't because of insecurity the government's been fighting an insurgency there for the last 2 years that conflicts displaced 60000 people so unknown how many of them lost their voting cards and haven't been able to replace them. inside the polling station voters to bring their voters card

government support of ukraine i realize that if you quene pursued an investigation into the bidens and it would likely be interpreted as a partisan play which would undoubtedly result in ukraine losing the bipartisan support it had thus far maintained this would all undermine u.s. national security and at the time that trump was on this phone call with the president of ukraine trump was with holding close to $400000000.00 of u.s. security aid that was supposed to help ukraine ward off aggression from russia and that is why then men and other national security experts have come forward as part of this impeachment inquiry see that the president's demand for something for his personal gain was endangering u.s. national security and in danger in an ally furthermore republicans have been defending the president by attacking the democrats process in this inquiry saying that because they're conducting these hearings behind closed doors there's a lack in transparency and that the inquiry is illegitimate to begin with democrats have responded now by scheduling a full house vote this fall. day t
