The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 402 of the In The Tank Podcast. President Donald Trump was indicted again this week, and this time, at the federal level. This story has grabbed headlines for obvious reasons. On the other side of the coin, President Joe Biden may be in hot water after Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) reported the FBI has information that might incriminate Hunter and the “big guy” on a bribery scheme.
