>>> we want to dig deeper now with democratic congressman, robert garcia of california. a member of the house oversight committee. congressman, thank you so much for sharing part of your afternoon with us. these nine new charges are for more serious than what was in that plea deal that hunter originally agreed to. one that fell apart over the summer. republicans are arguing that this is happening because irs whistleblowers came forward saying the doj was taking it easy on hunter. do you think these new charges are proof that the justice department was trying to give the president son a sweetheart deal? >> a couple things are really important to know. first, although the country will be held accountable by the courts, by a judge, and he will be held accountable for all of these charges. he is a private citizen. he will go through the judicial process. it is also very clear that the accusations of the republicans, saying that somehow president biden controls or as weaponizing's justice department, is absolutely false. they are literally taking hundred through a judicial pr
