12:01 pm
hopes and dreams of children are following these stories and many more all coming in and right here to cnn news central >> major news this afternoon. senate minority leader mitch mcconnell is ending his history making tenure in the senate. announcing today that he is stepping down from his leadership position we spoke briefly on the floor about the discussion >> father time remains undefeated. no longer the young man sitting in the back hoping colleagues would remember my name. it's tom. the next generation of leadership >> and just a short time ago, president biden reacted to this decision. let's listen
12:02 pm
>> and with that, a high-stakes race for his successor begins. let's take you now live to capitol hill with cnn's lauren fox. lauren, what are you hearing from mcconnell's colleagues about this? >> yeah, a lot of republican colleagues keeping their powder dry right now, they want to hear from whoever may want to fill mcconnell's shoes. of course, all eyes are on those three republican johns, the johns who have been widely scott for a long time now about potentially taking the helm of that republican leadership spot. i'm talking about john barrasso, john thune, john cornyn. all of those members widely seen amongst their colleagues as potential successors but it's really interesting as you talk to republican members, many of them want to use the next several months to have conversations to understand what the philosophy of these perspective senators are, how they would lead the conference.
12:03 pm
they view this as a result lead pivotal time to talk about the direction of the republican party because trump is really ascending at a moment where mcconnell has spent the last several months fighting for additional ukraine aid that many of his own members ended up ultimately they voting against that just raises the question of what exactly is going to be able to unite the republican party? what leader is going to be able to unite the republican? in party? and you have a couple of members who are already saying who they're backing. you have senator mike rounds of south dakota saying he does plan to vote for john thune, support john thune, but a lot of these members don't want to talk about the fact that they may ultimately run for mcconnell's position. you hear from senator thune and others that this is a moment for mcconnell, that this is a moment to reflect on his legacy. i think that this leadership race is going to have some time to three then obviously we are going to be anxiously awaiting what donald trump says about it because it
12:04 pm
was poised to one of the republicans in the senate earlier today. do you think trump is going to have an impact on this race like he had an impact on the speaker's race back in october. and senator kevin cramer of north the cota told us as senator is given the fact were elected every six years, not every two years. my hope is that we would all take our votes very seriously. i hope that we are all going to be weighing this decision independent of what someone else thinks of it. but there's no doubting that donald trump is going to have an influence since here. and that is going to be something to watch in the days and weeks ahead. >> yeah. no question, especially given the rough relationship between mcconnell and trump after january 6, lauren fox live on capitol hill. thank you so much. brianna, as we speak, president biden's son, hunter, is facing questions from lawmakers, his closed-door deposition in the house it's impeachment inquiry into his father is the result of months of negotiations with republicans and much like hunter biden's last appearance
12:05 pm
on the hill, it caused quite a scene. a record number of lawmakers from both parties are expected to be in attendance and more members of congress, of course that means more questions so far he has not pleaded the fifth. that is what we've been told and cnn's paula reid is at the capitol working her sources about what all is happening inside of this room. polo, what can you tell us? >> every one of those so much interest in today's deposition, they actually did move it to a bigger room to accommodate all the members who wanted to be there. and if you're so far that hunter biden is holding his own, he is answering questions he has not. we're told invoke the fifth amendment. and even though lawmakers described him at times as being frustrated, they say overall, this has been pretty civil, but there are no cameras. this is happening behind closed doors, so we are relying on our sources and on lawmakers to give us a sense of exactly what they're learning. the democrats and some republicans have come down to talk to us it's about what's going on. and they are spinning
12:06 pm
very different narratives. democrats have called this a waste of taxpayer time and money. they've called it an embarrassing spectacle. and jamie raskin, representative raskin suggested that if they really wanted to do some legitimate work on investigating corruption, foreign influence than they should open in a bipartisan investigation that would also cover former president trump and his son-in-law, jared kushner. and notably they said hunter biden brought up the comparison to jared kushner money he has made overseas since leaving the white house. now republicans, notably brianna, we haven't heard from many of them. they haven't exactly been racing to the cameras too. just share what's going on in this hearing. we have heard from a few representative nancy mace called hunter biden's performance so far, defiance and dishonest, and even representative matt gaetz asked if the next step would be a vote on impeachment. he said he wasn't thinking in terms of next steps, so not exactly a ringing endorsement or what is going on behind closed doors? and whether they would uncover the evidence they need it
12:07 pm
because of course so far, they have not been able to provide any clear evidence to connect president biden to his son's foreign business deals feelings but we expect this could be could be a late night, but we are also expecting that we are going to get a transcript to learn exactly what happened in this deposition that was something that hunter biden's team insisted on because they said they did not want to sit behind closed doors for a deposition and then have republicans selectively leak certain parts. they wanted the whole transcript released. and that's really what we're going going to need to figure out exactly what was said here and how much republicans have really gained >> all right, paula, thank you so much for that. we do appreciate it. boris. >> we're joined now by republican on the oversight committee, congressman tim burchett of tennessee, congressman. thanks so much for sharing part of your afternoon with us. republicans have made a lot of allegations about hunter biden and his ties to the president and their business dealings. i'm curious about what specific allegation you are most wanting to ask hunter biden about and how he
12:08 pm
responded >> well, i wasn't able to ask him as the 435th most powerful member of congress, i'm generally at the end they bring me in about the dam, the custodian is sweeping across the front of the things i would you want to speak? but the reality is how it just like to know what qualifications he's had to bring in 20 million. and if in fact, if he's paid taxes, we know that some of that statute as possibly run on some of that and in fact, if he had the qualifications, what did he produce? what did that $20 million. in fact, bring in that flowed through his family, through the chinese communist and others. >> i'm curious about the 20 million, sir, because the actual bank records show that 15 million of that money actually went to biden family associates, not the biden family about 5 of it did go to hunter, but i'm curious specifically, how much of that money you're alleging went to
12:09 pm
vice president joe biden back when he was in the white house well, that's interesting part about it, because normal businesses don't have 20 so-called shale corporations or >> 20 bank account i'm just a run their money through, so it's a very circuitous route. but if you do follow some of it, the lightest the health situation where hunter his uncle were involved in and then his uncle was loaned money by this corporation which, you know, corporations, they don't normally no, lone vokes money and on that very same day it was the day that he cut a check to joe for several hundred thousand dollars. so i alone my brother $50 to christmases ago. but 200,000 seems to be a stretch. i don't know what kind of pickup truck he was mine, but that was pretty extensive. i think if we just followed that that smile, that trail right there. i mean you those two confab go ahead. those two are conflated though, because the $200,000 was according to
12:10 pm
documents that are coming out from the oversight committee, was alone that joe biden gave to his brother, james. that was then paid back. the documents support that it was alone. and that also happened in 2017 when joe biden was not vice president. and then you have the pickup truck money that was apparently given to a hunter biden when he was struggling through his addiction and that money was then given back by 100 to his father, also supported by documentation also happening in 2018 when mike pence was vice president. so i'll go back to my question. how much money specifically are you alleging that vice president joe biden made off of his son's business dealings when he was in the white house i don't know, but if it's $1 a he's lied about it and you've got to ask what was the influence there? what is the brand? the brand is the biden family. the brand is they're not cell enough service, they're not selling a product or not. he has no qualifications for this the only reason he was there because he was joe biden's son
12:11 pm
or he was joe biden's brother. and that money flowed through the money you you followed it and it flowed even minor children in the family. now know what qualifications do they have? no. come on. i know you're cnn, but the reality is live now, look, it's about the facts. let's make it so well you cannot make this your again distinction. there was a huge distinction. there's a huge distinction between whether it's appropriate for the family of a president to make money off of his name and whether that's ethical. but the question is specifically about what joe biden did when he was in office in vice president, whether he abused his power or whether he enriched his family members. and right now, there is zero evidence coming from the oversight committee that when he was vice president, he did either of those things
12:12 pm
there's 20 million. >> it flowed there. you saw these accounts. step, sir, the bank records were factor now, sir? >> if things that aren't true, sir? >> so i'm sorry the truth is, is that $20 million flowed through this family, whichever way it went. there's no records of asertax is being paid age statutes and run and you're signing point. was subpoenaed. what does not sure what was in the product records, sir. what's in the bank? >> where did that where did that money go to them? >> to devon archer and business associates related to president bush, over 20 there's over what? there's over 20 shell
12:13 pm
corporations. why would you set up a shell corporation had absolutely thank you. so i can make those corporations have legitimate business dealings. you may define them as shellcode. >> what are you seeing then? what are they some of them were warned that if you want to do manually, you just do the interview, but you're asking me a question. i'm trying to give you an answer, but you're not giving me an honest answer, sir, are you repeating a talking point? blank repeatedly? >> have you read the bank the money seen the bank records have saying, say joe biden's name on them they say hunter biden's name. and what was he wasn't vice president influence to the big guy. he gave name dates tony bobulinski gave names dates, times, and places. tony bobulinski were pretty the question was about to go ahead, sir. go ahead. >> go ahead. no, i just want to say that he gave very damning testimony and all you all want to focus on is one little grain
12:14 pm
of sand in a huge beach that has absolutely nothing to do with the final outcome. the truth is $20 million flowed through this family. that's one shape, form, or fashion or another. they had no, sir. it is not. they had $20 that flowed through it went through shell corporations that went through alternate bank. accounts now why would you have these 20 bank account said? but up if you weren't trying to, why would banks literally send memos app that say they have no product? we have to be careful of this. we need to get shab this. why would they? send those out? why would banks do that? you're focusing on one little thing and you're not looking at everything else sir. >> i honor. the idea that there are questions about out whether it is ethical and appropriate for the family members of an elected official to profit off of something. but i also dispute the fact that we're focused on a grain of sand. i want to get to the point what about these bank investigators? because you're talking about an email from 2018 that we sent out that republicans shared that was about banks looking
12:15 pm
into a deal struck by hunter biden with this chinese firm, the email that republicans shared that came from these people overseeing this deal was actually the last page of a four-page document and earlier in that document, i'm sure you've read it. i hope you have. they quote saying that the business activity is reasonable and consistent also that they do not see any sign signs of bribery. so what you're citing is actually only a small piece of something that overall by senior investigators was declared to be legitimate business enterprise i never brought up anything about bribery, sir, that's your words. >> you brought up a bank investigator. did you not bring up the bank investment said i say i had said that in the form that he said there is nothing that they're doing and there's been more than one of those you're picking one out, but but what what was the product? they were sailing. you say there were consulting. what was his background? other than being the vice president's son, other than traveling? when with the vice president on air force two at taxpayer expense to
12:16 pm
these countries. and then you say these accounts open up in a short time thereafter, what was what was that? you have to have to wonder, wow, hunter biden, i'm going to spend millions of dollars and he's the guy i'm going to hire he's the guy i'm going to hire that that it can't me there's no other thing you can talk about this. all you want. look, i understand you all got a lot of time invested in this presidency, but this thing is about over, it's about unraveled american public knows it, and in is just an haim own ever serve any time you and i both know that this justice department won't even look at it. i mean, how does he get by without paying taxes? it is on this stuff. how does the irs all of a sudden, i have people in my district that make $20.30 thousand a year. there have been audited by the irs, yet. this guys they're letting a statute run. now come on. you got another his influence there, and that's wrong. all this is wrong. >> here's the thing, congressman, there's a distinction again between what is ethical and appropriate hopefully it and what is actually a sign of an illegal
12:17 pm
action, something that would actually need to an immigrant instrument and at this point, given the documents that i've seen, i don't see evidence that you have a smoking gun that shows that when he was vice president, he abused his power to enrich himself or his family members his last name is biden. that's what they were sailing >> congressman tim burchett i've enjoyed the discussion, sir. i look forward to having another one bar is due in the future you can call your weaken both color therapists and say we don't need any help this week, we've already released on both at the thank you, brother it's appreciated, sir. thanks so much still to come on news central, a massive wildfire is tearing through the texas panhandle as it ravages the equivalent of 150 football fields every minute coming up. the latest on the smokehouse creek fire. plus president biden just got his annual

12:24 pm
>> right? >> let's discuss the checkup and what the checkup entailed with dr. f. perry wilson. he's an associate professor of medicine and public health at yale university. he's also the author of how medicine works and when it doesn't dr. thank you so much for being with us. what do we usually learn from a presidential physical >> well, they're quite thorough. >> surprise you that they do a lot more for the president of the united states, than you were. i might get and our physical, although all the usual stuff the blood pressures and the height and weight will all be part of it. biden will also get his attention from a lot of different specialists. we know >> for example, that he has atrial fibrillation, which is a common heart arrhythmia. so there will be cardiologists involved. he's had prior
12:25 pm
issues with skin cancers that needed to be removed or skin lesions that needed to be removed. so no doubt dermatologists will be involved as well. it's going to be quite a bit more thorough or it was no doubt quite a bit more thorough than what a typical 81 year-old would get >> and so he's having this physical on the heels of having of course, his mental acuity here in the news recently, there was a special counsel investigation about his handling of claims classified documents, which described his memory as poor is they're going to be any sort of assessment of that kind of thing that will be part of the physical end. what will we learn or not learn from that? >> sure. cognitive assessment is not a guideline recommended exam that should be performed in people who are of any age, it is not the data says that the united states preventive services task force says there's insufficient data to recommend universe personal cognitive screening for older
12:26 pm
adults in the us. so he may not get any exam like that at all. that being said patients can certainly request this. in which case there are a variety of cognitive exams that can be administered relatively quickly and are fairly accurate at predicting things like mild cognitive impairment, which is what you would see in an older person that doesn't actually rise to the level of dementia or anything like that. the most common tool for this is something called the montreal cognitive assessment we don't know whether he underwent any type of cognitive assessment. i can say that last year when this exam was done, there was no discussion of a cognitive assessment in the dock there's report. >> we just learned from the white house. literally as you were speaking, sir, that the white house doctors, or rather the president's doctors officially decided that he does not need a cognitive test. does that tell you anything specific about the president's mental acuity? >> well not necessarily as i
12:27 pm
said, cognitive testing is not a routine part of a normal checkup for an at what for an otherwise healthy 81 year-old. if there are symptoms or if the patient themselves is concerned that they're having difficulty than certainly it can be performed we, can look at this as saying, well, the white house doctors feel like nope, we worked with him every day. he seems fine. there's no need to do this of course >> there i think >> there's a political implication >> either way >> here, because you could imagine that if you went through it and passed with flying colors, that would probably probably do something to dispel some of the discussion about his age is in terms of his candidacy for president, but maybe there's some degree of risk there, right? if you're, if you're going to go through a rigorous cognitive assessment and you don't come out with a perfect hundred percent. >> what are >> the political implications there? >> yeah. no, it's a very good point dr. wilson, great to have you. thank you >> anytime >> next with his execution just
