DOCUMENTS UNCOVERED AT HIS
FORMER PRIVATE OFFICE WAS MARKED

PRESIDENT BIDEN IGNORING SHOUTED
QUESTIONS TODAY AFTER SAYING
YESTERDAY COOPERATING FULLY WITH
WHAT IS NOW A SPECIAL COUNSEL’S
INVESTIGATION INTO HIS HANDLING
OF CLASSIFIED MATERIAL AS HE WAS
LEAVING THE VICE PRESIDENCY. THE
PRESIDENT’S LAWYERS FINDING
SENSITIVE DOCUMENTS FROM THE
OBAMA ADMINISTRATION AT THAT
WASHINGTON OFFICE AND MR BIDEN’S
DELAWARE HOME THE FIRST
DISCOVERY CAME RIGHT BEFORE THE
MIDTERM ELECTIONS. BUT WHILE THE
NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND JUSTICE

PRESIDENT TRUMP’S HANDLING OF
CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS. IN HIS
CASE ROUGHLY 300 WITH 100 OF
THOSE SEIZED BY THE FBI IN A
SEARCH OF HIS MARA LAGO HOME.
THE FORMER PRESIDENT INSISTS
HE’S BEING TREATED UNFAIRLY. I
DID NOTHING WRONG. WHAT THEY DID
IS NOT GOOD. WHAT THEY DID IS
BAD, BUT DEMOCRATS POINT TO
STARK DIFFERENCES TOTAL CONTRAST
TO PRESIDENT TRUMP, WHO STALL
STONEWALLED FOR A WHOLE YEAR.
THE BIDEN TEAM SELF REPORTED ITS
DISCOVERIES AND IMMEDIATELY
HANDED THE DOCUMENTS OVER WHILE
FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP RESISTED
REPEATED REQUESTS, INCLUDING A
SUBPOENA. THE WHITE HOUSE
INSISTS THE CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS
WERE INADVERTENTLY MISPLACED AND
TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW THAT
HAPPENED. SOURCES TELL NBC NEWS

INVOLVED IN PACKING UP PRESIDENT
BIDEN’S VICE PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE

BAR LOCAL 4. OKAY ALICE. THANK
YOU. ALSO IN WASHINGTON TODAY,
TREASURY SECRETARY JANET YELLEN
WARNED THE US MAY HIT THE DEBT
CEILING BY NEXT THURSDAY. YELLEN
SAYS THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT
WOULD THEN NEED TO MAKE
EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES TO AVOID
POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC DEFAULT
THAT WILL ALLOW CONGRESS TIME TO
NEGOTIATE A DEBT LIMIT INCREASE
. THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION IS HIT
WITH A $1.5 MILLION FINE FOR A
LONG RUNNING TAX FRAUD SCHEME.
FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S COMPANY
WAS CONVICTED ON 17 COUNTS LAST
MONTH, INCLUDING CRIMINAL TAX
FRAUD. AND FALSIFYING BUSINESS
RECORDS. PROSECUTORS SAY TRUMP
FIRMS GOT OUT PERKS LIKE
EXPENSIVE MANHATTAN APARTMENTS,
LUXURY CARS AND TRIPS TO
EXECUTIVES WHO FAILED TO DECLARE
THEM ON THEIR TAX RETURNS. TRUMP
HAS REPEATEDLY CALLED THE CASE
OF WHICH HUNT LANSING MAN IS ON
HIS WAY BACK TO MICHIGAN, ONE
DAY AFTER BEING RELEASED BY
RUSSIA 35 YEAR OLD TAYLOR DUDLEY
WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY BY
RUSSIAN BORDER PATROL NINE
MONTHS AGO WHEN HE CROSSED THE
BORDER FROM POLAND. SHAWN LEY
JOINS US LIVE WITH MORE ON HIS
RETURN, AND SEAN, HIS RELEASE
WAS QUIETLY NEGOTIATED FOR
MONTHS. ABSOLUTELY THIS IS THE
CASE THAT WE HAVE NOT HEARD
ABOUT BECAUSE TAYLOR DUDLEY’S
FAMILY FOUND IT BEST TO KEEP
THIS QUIET WHILE NEGOTIATIONS TO
GET HIM OUT CONTINUED. ANOTHER
AMERICAN JAILED IN RUSSIA AND
NOW HEADED HOME. THIS IS TAYLOR
DUDLEY. HE’S FROM LANSING. THE
35 YEAR OLD WAS BACKPACKING IN
EUROPE AND THEN WENT TO POLAND
FOR A MUSIC FESTIVAL AND CROSSED
OVER THE RUSSIAN BORDER WITHOUT
THE PROPER PAPERWORK. HE’S BEEN
HELD IN RUSSIA FOR NINE MONTHS
UNTIL NOW. BACK IN WASHINGTON

THOSE WHO HELPED GET HIM OUT,
INCLUDING FORMER NEW MEXICO
GOVERNOR BILL RICHARDSON, WHO
IMMEDIATELY MENTIONED PAUL
WHALEN, METRO DETROIT MAN STILL
BEING HELD IN RUSSIA ACCUSED OF
BEING A SPY. OUR WORKERS NOT YET
DONE. WE’RE CONTINUING TO WORK
ON THE RELEASE OF PAUL WHELAN
AND OTHER AMERICANS HELD IN
RUSSIA. WHOSE CASES ARE LESS
KNOWN WITH DUDLEY’S RELEASED
THERE WAS NO PRISONER EXCHANGE
AS WE SAW RECENTLY WITH
BASKETBALL PLAYER BRITTNEY
GRINER DOUBLY DID NOT SPEAK AT
TODAY’S ANNOUNCEMENT. RICHARDSON
MAKING THE POINT THAT THE U. S
WILL CONTINUE TO WORK TO GET
PAUL WHALING OUT, ALONG WITH
OTHER AMERICANS BEING HELD IN
RUSSIA. IN DUDLEY’S CASE, HE WAS
DEPORTED BY RUSSIA. IT’S
IMPORTANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT
DESPITE THE CURRENT. ENVIRONMENT
BETWEEN OUR TWO COUNTRIES, WHICH
IS NOT GOOD. THE RUSSIAN
AUTHORITIES DID THE RIGHT THING.
BY RELEASING TAYLOR. BACK HERE
LIVE. DUDLEY NOW HEADED BACK
WITH HIS MOM TO LANSING FROM
WASHINGTON. AFTER THIS ORDEAL
AGAIN, HE’S A NAVY VET, BUT IT’S
UNCLEAR WHY HE CROSSED OVER INTO
THAT RUSSIAN TERRITORY. WE’RE
LIVE TONIGHT. SHAWN LEY LOCAL
