THE MORNING RUNDOWN STARTS NOW.
THIS IS STRAIGHT-ARROW NEWS.
BRINGING YOU UNBIASED, STRAIGHT FACTS.
TODAY IS WEDNESDAY — SEPTEMBER 20TH
THANKS FOR JOINING US.
I’M KARAH RUCKER.
HUNTER BIDEN IS EXPECTED TO PLEAD **NOT GUILTY TO THREE FEDERAL GUN CHARGES — ACCORDING TO HIS LAWYERS.
THIS IS THE LATEST DEVELOPMENT IN THE INDICTMENT THAT CAME DOWN LAST WEEK ON CHARGES THAT THE PRESIDENT’S SON LIED ABOUT HIS DRUG USE WHILE PURCHASING A GUN IN 2018 AND THEN ILLEGALLY POSSESSING IT.
HUNTER BIDEN IS ALSO REQUESTING THE COURT TO ALLOW HIM TO APPEAR BY VIDEO CONFERENCE FOR HIS FIRST HEARING IN THE CASE –WHICH AN ARRAIGNMENT DATE HAS NOT BEEN SET.
THE INDICTMENT COMES AFTER A SPECIAL COUNSEL WAS ASSIGNED TO THE CASE.
FOLLOWING THE COLLAPSE OF A PLEA DEAL IN COURT IN JULY.
IF CONVICTED — HUNTER FACES UP TO 25 YEARS IN PRISON AND 750 THOUSAND DOLLARS IN FINES —
ALTHOUGH FIRST TIME OFFENDERS RARELY RECEIVE PRISON TIME FOR THESE CHARGES.
FEDERAL PROSECUTORS DID NOT FILE CHARGES LAST WEEK CONCERNING AN INVESTIGATION INTO HUNTER BIDEN’S TAX RETURNS — BUT COULD STILL DO SO.
THE UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY WILL CONTINUE TODAY —
AFTER PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN AND UKRAINE’S PRESIDENT VOLODYMIR ZELENSKYY SPOKE YESTERDAY — IN FAVOR OF THE U.S. CONTINUING ITS FINANCIAL BACKING OF UKRAINE IN THEIR FIGHT AGAINST RUSSIA.
BUT SEVERAL G-7 COUNTRIES IN ATTENDANCE — PREDICT THE WAR IN UKRAINE COULD GO ON FOR ANOTHER SIX TO EIGHT YEARS.
WHICH HAS HOUSE REPUBLICANS QUESTIONING THE CURRENT ASK OUT OF CONGRESS —
BIDEN WANTS ANOTHER 24 BILLION DOLLAR AID PACKAGE APPROVED FOR UKRAINE.
“If you allow Ukraine to be carved up, is the independence of any nation secure? I’d respectfully suggest the answer is no. We have to stand up to this naked aggression today and deter other would-be aggressors tomorrow.”
THE U.S. HAS — SO FAR — APPROVED MORE THAN 100 BILLION DOLLARS OF AID TO UKRAINE.
PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY IS EXPECTED TO FACE CONGRESS TOMORROW.
WHERE HOUSE REPUBLICANS SAY THEY ARE PREPARED WITH QUESTIONS.
MCCARTHY ON UKRAINE SOTVO
<:08-:23> Will you commit to another round of funding for ukraine? Is Zelenskyy elected to Congress? Is he our president? I don’t think I have to commit anything. i have questions for him. Where is the accountability on the money we already spent? What is the plan for victory? I think that is what the American public wants to know.
MEANWHILE THE WAR ITSELF — CONTINUES ON —
AS U.S. LEADERS DEBATE ITS ROLE OF SUPPORT.
RUSSIAN DRONES DESTROYED UKRAINIAN HUMANITARIAN AID STORED IN WAREHOUSES IN L-VIV.

OUR REPORTER RYAN ROBERTSON DESIGNATED TO THE UKRAINE WAR TOOK A DEEPER DIVE INTO THE AID THAT HAS SO FAR BEEN SPENT BY UKRAINE.

THEY HAVE RECEIVED HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS MORE FROM **OTHER COUNTRIES SINCE THE WAR BEGAN.
