    The News Around Us Jan 31 2021 Biden Sasses Fox News' Peter Doocy Over Question About Putin Lindsey Ellefson TheWrap Joe Biden peter Doocy President Joe Biden got sassy with Fox News' Peter Doocy Tuesday when the White House correspondent asked him about a recent call with Russian president Vladimir Putin. "Mr. President," called out Doocy, who covered Biden during the 2020 presidential campaign. "What did you talk to Vladimir Putin about?" Biden quipped, "You. He sends his best!" Other assembled journalists laughed as Biden put on his face mask and exited the briefing. The moment came one day after Biden called on Doocy during a different briefing, saying, "I know he always asks me tough questions and he always has an edge to them, but I like him anyway, so go ahead and ask the question." Amid a series of staffing and scheduling shakeups, Fox News announced earlier this month that White House correspondent John Roberts would be leaving the West Wing to host his own hour-long program on the cable network. Doocy was announced as the channel's new White House correspondent shortly thereafter. He joins colleague Kristin Fisher in the briefing room. Prior to covering Biden's campaign for Fox News, Doocy worked on coverage of the Democratic primary field. He first joined Fox News as a general assignment reporter in 2009 just after graduating from Villanova University. An equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccine must include noncitizens Rep. Raúl M.

  • Economic Battle Plan™ 111 Playing for Keeps
    APPROVED FOR DISTRIBUTION PLAYING FOR KEEPS CRITICAL ECONOMIC BATTLE PLAN™ Plot to Destroy Our Constitutional Republic 3.111 CLEARED FOR RELEASE 10/29/2020 [Economic Battle PlanTM points: 107) Playing for Keeps The Plot to Destroy Our Constitutional Republic Four years ago, in a secret White House meeting, Director John Brennan of the CIA briefed President Obama, Vice President Biden, James Comey, and a small cadre of the Intelligence Community about a plot involving Russia to alter the 2016 election. That is a fact. But the details are certainly not the narrative that you have been fed. We were told that it was Donald Trump colluding with Russia. That the election was compromised. We spent almost three years and over $32 million chasing that fairy tale. But the Mueller report found nothing. It turns out that Donald Trump was not in cahoots with the Russians. It was all a ruse set up by the Clinton campaign to take the heat off her massive email scandal. Your briefing this week will walk step-by-step through The Plot to Destroy our Constitutional Republic. We’ll explain just how the Deep State and cultural Marxists have conspired against President Trump and our nation and we will learn what they have planned for this year’s election. Win or lose, they have a plot to take down our country. Your Mission: To understand and recognize this plot and prevent a takedown of our country. • To be prepared for post-election chaos and understand the agendas taking place. • Vote, and get others to understand what is really at stake.

  • Trump: Discussing a Biden Probe with Barr Would Be 'Appropriate' - POLITICO
    1/2/2020 Trump: Discussing a Biden probe with Barr would be 'appropriate' - POLITICO Vice President Joe Biden's connections to Ukraine have become a subject of deep interest among the president’s political allies. | Ethan Miller/Getty Images 2020 ELECTIONS Trump: Discussing a Biden probe with Barr would be 'appropriate' Rudy Giuliani, the president’s personal attorney, is urging Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden, raising questions about whether Donald Trump would pressure his attorney general to do the same. By ELIANA JOHNSON, DARREN SAMUELSOHN, ANDREW RESTUCCIA and DANIEL LIPPMAN | 05/10/2019 08:01 PM EDT | Updated 05/11/2019 12:32 AM EDT President Donald Trump told POLITICO on Friday that it would be “appropriate” for him to speak to Attorney General Bill Barr about launching an investigation into his potential 2020 rival, Joe Biden, or his son, Hunter. The question of whether Trump could pressure Barr to probe Biden is coming under scrutiny after Rudy Giuliani, the president’s personal attorney, said he would be traveling to Ukraine to urge the incoming government there to look at Hunter Biden’s involvement with a Ukrainian energy company that has reportedly been in prosecutors’ crosshairs. The efforts appear to be part of a broader campaign by Trump’s allies to damage the former Democratic vice president’s White House campaign and have raised questions about whether Trump’s team is trying to enlist a foreign government to aid the president’s re-election bid. https://www.politico.com/story/2019/05/10/trump-biden-ukraine-barr-1317601 1/4 1/2/2020 Trump: Discussing a Biden probe with Barr would be 'appropriate' - POLITICO “Certainly it would be an appropriate thing to speak to him about, but I have not done that as of yet.
