And then it's up to DOJ whether or not they want to move or not.

matched
The president begged Thune to convince the Senate to take action, but Thune is resisting.

matched

voice-verified

voice-verified

voice-verified
The Biden DOJ prosecuted Trump figures Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon for not talking to the committee investigating the Capitol riot.
