Research that resonates.

Schweitzer has not been wrong on any of his years and years of reporting on the Biden's.

Investigations that matter.

If your last name wasn't Biden, do you think you would have been asked to be on the board of Burisma?

I don't know. I don't know. Probably not. But that's, you know, I don't think that there's a lot of things that would have happened in my life that if my last name wasn't fighting. The only entities, the only people that would report on this, and Peter Schweizer, who deserves a medal of freedom, in my view. This is The Drill Down with Peter Schweitzer. Welcome to the Drill Down, where we relentlessly

exposed cronyism, corruption, and the abuse of power in Washington, D.C. seated by my side,
