NTD News Today Full Broadcast (April 16)

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on April 15 unveiled a plan for separate aid packages for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. A fourth bill would reportedly wrap in a TikTok ban and the REPO (Rebuilding Economic Prosperity and Opportunity) for Ukrainians Act, which would allow the United States to seize some assets of Russian oligarchs to help finance the costs of fighting the war there.

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday criticized the judge overseeing the “hush-money” case in Manhattan, before he attended his second day in court, and said that a gag order that was imposed on him should be removed. The former president added that he should be campaigning for the White House instead of being in court.

Two counts of impeachment against Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, approved on Feb. 13 by the House of Representatives, will be formally presented to the Senate. Eleven House members previously named as impeachment managers will walk from the lower chamber through Statuary Hall in the Capitol and then to the Senate in a brief ceremony that has been repeated only 17 times since the first Congress in 1789.
