Big news here in our newsroom. We have a beat exclusive coming up tonight. New recordings from

0:05.4

Inside Fox News with top level Republicans in government, as well as a live interview with the lawyer

0:12.6

for the Fox News whistleblower. That is a first. That's coming up in tonight's program. We begin

0:17.2

though with the DOJ Special Counsel, who has a criminal probe that has reached a key and familiar face

0:22.3

today. Trump Legal Advisor, Boris Ebshchine, who knows things about both the coup and the classified

0:27.2
