  • Independent journalist Matt Taibbi says he is not taking a side on the special counsel appointment in the Hunter Biden case. Taibbi joins “CUOMO” to discuss his concerns, saying both sides of the political aisle are wrong and the optics are bad. Plus, why is he suspicious of everybody's motives involving this UFO whistleblower?
