It's a good explanation of what is known so far about what looks like the collapse of the Republican effort to impeach Joe Biden. The whole thing has been based on lies and conspiracy theories. The centerpiece of the Republican charges was the statements made by what they called "a trusted and highly credible witness" accusing Hunter and Joe Biden of accepting bribes. That witness, Alexander Smirnov, has been thoroughly discredited and has now been charged with lying to the FBI and making false statements about the Bidens with the intent to harm them and help Trump.

Leaders of the Christian nationalist movement incorrectly believe that the United States was founded as a Christian nation, so they intend to rest the government and public life on what they consider to be Christian values.
In December, Trump promised: “Upon taking office, I will create a new federal task force on fighting anti-Christian bias to be led by a fully reformed Department of Justice.”
