From October 27, 2018: There is a caravan—you’ve probably heard something about it. Stephanie Leutert, director of the Mexico Security Initiative at the Robert S. Strauss Center for International Security and Law, has heard something about it. On Friday, Benjamin Wittes caught up with Leutert to talk about her time on the Mexico-Guatemala border traveling with migrants who are following a trail not unlike that of the caravan. They talked about why people are joining this caravan, what are alternatives to it, why certain migrants are shunning it, the factors pushing people out of countries like Honduras and Guatemala, and what it’s like to be a child on the long trek to the United States.

President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, spent much of the week in a Wilmington, Delaware court with his federal gun charges front and center. Hunter’s defense attorney devoted his time to trying to prove that his client was not a habitual drug user when he purchased a handgun back in 2018. Despite witnesses and text messages with evidence suggesting that Hunter was using crack, the defense team remains adamant that wasn’t the case. FOX News Washington-based correspondent David Spunt explains how the President’s son’s legal issues will impact the 2024 Presidential Election.
Tensions in Washington, D.C. are high as some of the highest-profile officials were in front of Congress panels this week.

FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram weighs in on both hearings and analyzes the current political landscape on Capitol Hill.
