Betel says the agency will leave its DC headquarters due

Speaker 3 (00:26):
We want the American men and women to know, if

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Kamala Harris reacting to the announcement that former President Biden
has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer
that has metastasized to his bones. Harris said in a
post on x that both she and her husband, Doug,
are saddened to learn of the news, calling Biden a
fighter who will face this challenge with the same strength, resilience,
and optimism that have always defined his life and leadership.

(01:38):
This comes as audio recordings of former President Biden's twenty
twenty three interview with special Counsel Robert Hurr are being released,
Biden responding about official documents referenced in his book.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
I Don't Know this is what. Twenty seventeen eighteen, n.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Here Axios obtained a portion of that interview about Biden's
handling of classified documents, a case her declined to prosecute
because he thought jurors would have viewed Biden as an
older man with a poor memory. At the time, the
White House blasted HER's conclusion and fought against the DOJ
releasing the tapes. Virginia's Black Democratic Representative Jennifer McClellan says

(02:18):
tax cuts being floated in GOP budget proposals would hurt
millions of Americans who rely on Medicaid and food stamps.
And that's a refrain we've heard frequently from Black House
Minority leader Hawking Jeffries.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
And so it's my hope and expectation not just in
the next few days, but in the next few weeks,
in the next few months, as we engage in this
legislative struggle, that we can stay together in defense of
the American people.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
Meanwhile, McClellan telling NewsNation the budget is going to make
the tax cuts permanent on the backs of millions of
Americans losing their health care and access to snap benefits.
Some of the proposals include establishing Medicaid work requirements on
able bodied adults and forcing states to share the cost
of food assistance programs.

Speaker 3 (03:05):

We want the American men and women to know, if
you're going to come work at the premier law enforcement
agency in the world, we're going to give you a
building that's commensurate with that, and that's not this place.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Bettel says fifteen hundred employees will leave the j. Edgar
Hoover Building on Pennsylvania Avenue because of its condition and
will be relocated to locations across the country. However, the
FBI director did not share a time frame for the
move or the bureau's new headquarters location. Checking the statistics
