Republican delegate Dan Cox and Wes Moore went head to head exchanging criticism. When asked about gun control, Cox made clear his push to get guns off the streets, pointing out more positions. Their approach was to refuse the felony approach that if you've used a gun in crime that you should go to jail instead, they want them to run the streets. More shot back. Which, by the way, I never said. Making clear his endorsements. The irony is the blue doesn't back you, because the police officers have endorsed our campaign.

Recent polls show Republican doctor mehmet Oz getting closer to Democrat John fetterman. The lieutenant governor still leads by a few percentage points, but his health continues to get scrutiny after a stroke. In an interview with NBC News, he read a reporter's questions from a computer as she spoke, but says his recovery is going well. Having interviews and getting around all across Pennsylvania, that gives everybody and the voters decide. If they think that it's really the issue. Oz continues to charge an ads that fetterman is soft on crime. John fetterman supports decriminalizing dangerous drugs. The two candidates have a highly anticipated debate on October 25th. On Capitol Hill, Mitchell Miller, WTO. A former Mar-a-Lago employee tells FBI agents about moving boxes of documents at the Florida resort on the instructions of the former president. That's according to reporting by The Washington Post, citing people familiar with the Justice Department's investigation. The witness reportedly told agents that mister Trump ordered boxes moved to his Mar-a-Lago residence back in May after Trump advisers received a subpoena for any classified documents that remained at the resort. The post reports the witness testimony was backed up by security camera footage, and the former employee is cooperating with the Justice Department's investigation. The January 6th House select committee is holding its next and likely last public hearing tomorrow afternoon starting at one. Ahead of the meeting, The Washington Post reports that new evidence from the committee includes Secret Service text messages that show that former president Trump was repeatedly warned of the violence that was going on outside the capitol last January 6th of last year. Washington Post live anchor Lee Ann Caldwell tells WTO, this new evidence contradicts previous testimony from Trump. Despite testimony in previous hearing, saying that Trump was fully aware of the violence on that day. Trump told New York Times reporter Maggie haberman that he wasn't aware until very late in the day. What was happening outside the capitol, which seems to contradict reams of testimony and now once again, perhaps from the Secret Service.

A member of the oath keepers who traveled to D.C. before the January 6th attack on the U.S. capitol testified today about a massive cache of weapons, the far right extremist group stashed in a Virginia hotel room. Terry Cummings showed jurors an AR-15 rifle and an orange box for ammunition that he contributed to the so called quick reaction force that the oath keepers had staged at the hotel just outside D.C. and Arlington in case they needed weapons. The quick reaction force is a central piece of the Justice Department's case against oath keepers founders toward roads and four associates charged with seditious conspiracy in the capitol riot.
