5:03 pm
prosecutor considering searching more of the president's properties after a fifth bundle of classify documents were found in the president's delaware home, some during his time when he was senator. we're live in dc with more, david. reporter: this latest fbi search happened while the president was at the white house friday meeting with mayors from the country, we found about it a day later, the fact that fbi certained a sitting president's private home is a massive story. according to the president's personal attorney, this was a voluntary search. no warrant. and fbi was invited to come in, president attorneys, white house counsel and personal lawyers were there too. there is one big difference, that was not a voluntary search, there was a warrant involved and trump's
5:04 pm
attorneys claim they were left in the dark during the search. on surface the cases may look the same in many ways there is a difference, former president fought with national archives and dojfor months. and attorney general garland stayed the course when asked by fox news this afternoon if he had go regrets open special counsel probes into two presidents. >> the role of the justice department to apply the rule of the law in each case. without regard to who the subjects are. reporter: that was this afternoon, president biden's team turned over documents as they found them to national archives and doj, but the problem for president is public perception, we can't say it enough, the first batch of documents were turned over before the midterms in early november, the white house only came out to let
5:05 pm
everyone know about it after cbs news broke the story more than two months later. a lot of questions surrounding that timeline. elizabeth: great reporting, always terrific thank you, david. >> former senior counsel to former president trump kellyanne conway and former arkansas president mike huckabee. >> thank you. elizabeth: we're supposed to be happy the president's own lawyers, were given months to scrub through everything before the fbi showed up. white house said that search was completed. the president said there was no there, there our men and women fought for those secrets to keep america safe. >> right. let's not lose sight of that, and men and women who put lives on the line of day in secret service who have a system in place, as you and governor know called waves, we know who is coming and
5:06 pm
going to see a president at all-time. it helps you catch people who should not be in with the president, we don't have any kind of h visiting on log out of his house where the documents were kept. and hunter biden had a residents. i could that everyone should be disturbed by a couple facts, the papers were from his time in the senate. if not his vice presidency, he left acce -- the senate in 2008, it is is 2023, they have been moved a few times. the public is upset on this one. they think that joe biden gets the gracious exception, they have not been held accountable for been transparent, every time they say, it's just a few documents.
5:07 pm
they are admitting culpability, it is hurting him. >> to kellyanne's point, the fbi involved, it is about probable cause. governor, new twist that white house is growing more rattled, sources tell us that, "new york times" too, is joining "washington post" reporting they decided to keep this secret before the midterms to avoid president getting his own special counsel criminal probe. "washington post" said they worked with dojon this before midterms, what do you think? >> i think it is evident there was a different way of dealing with joe biden than with donald trump, joe biden has had a heck ole going on, who has been in there and taken things, we have no idea. what kellyanne pointed out is significant. some of the documents go to his time in senate, 14 years ago. he had no business taking those documents, he didn't
5:08 pm
have the power to declassify or have the power to take them away from the senate skiff. there is just a lot of questions, to me one of the most glaring, how come down come dorn don -- donald trump's lawyers and his preside. were not allowed to be there when they were looking through the closets. they were under lock and key, it is joe biden's documents that were not. who kept moving them, they are a lot of questions. >> to what governor said, now up to 30 classified documents, kellyanne, his senate records at university of delaware, that should be searchedded too? and reports coming in on another location that biden's team use the u.s. secrets in summer of 2017 to a transition office in dc's
5:09 pm
china town because his office for his think tank were not ready. >> i think we have a cast a wide net and keep searching, we know you can't put your own lawyers in charge of, that you pay your bills, that should be disturbing, need an independent agency to it, president trump exceeded to it they said put another lock, have surveillance camera, and the other thing that i think should bother everyone, since democrat activists in white house, and party -- in mainstream media love to cover people's marriages, anita dunn recommending to president they keep this a secret until after the midterms, she is married to bob bower. the president's attorney you see quoted that is relevant. this whole point about fbi, we have all kinds of independent people who could
5:10 pm
be searching and looking, yoke i don't think we have even scratched surface. elizabeth: majority of americans, say this is serious. the president still maintains it was in in inadvert annually his handelled. let's get your reaction on how the mead and and democrats are turning on him. >> can you give us a sense of how many classified documents we're talking total? >> sure, a good question. the answer is complicated because of this point i'm making about integrity of on going justice department investigation. >> search of a sitting president's home escalates the political fallout, if not the legal problems after
5:11 pm
the white house tried to downplay the significance all week. >> it is obvious at-this-point that people in leadership roles of part don't know what the next turn of the screw is in this investigation, including people who worked in the white house. >> i go to the skiff with secure documents, they ask aare you clean, when you wake out, you might put it in your other papers, but you always double check there. to be held responsible is what we all are. to put those in unsecured spaces is irresponsible. >> a real problem that these documents are somewhere they should not be. elizabeth: governor, the whole timeline fits with timeline of biden family doing deals overseas. daily mail reports an e-mail indicates on hunter's laptop, hunter biden a uncle jim, talked about a multimillion dollar deal to sell, 25 million tons of natural gas out of louisiana
5:12 pm
to their business partners in china. the biden family madi 5 million on that. >> the word -- careless. this was careless. it was also i think beyond beware less, it was an intentional, tevment intent to make sure we never would find out about those business dealings. if i made a 5 million dollar deposit in my bank account, i would not be surprised. i don't think this is near the end of the line there is a lot more. elizabeth: kellyanne conway and mike huckabee thank you for joining us in the new 5:00 hour. >> matthew whitaker is here.
5:13 pm
protesters again. supreme court justice bret kavanaugh's home on 50 answers of roe v. wade. what do you make of this story? >> this group, is trying to intimidate the justice, and get him to bend to their political will, this is not the way our founding fathers incidented our republic to athey fell strongly about people's first amendment rights but this is beyond the pale. that brings up trauma that family experienced when that assailant entered their neighborhood looking for justice kavanaugh. elizabeth: senate democrats. saying, they have no plans to investigate who leaked the roe v. wade decision caught of the supreme court. we have to move on, media
5:14 pm
and democrats calling out the president, he claim w there was no there there. including from time he was senator, nation's secret left unsecured for a decade and a half, watch the president. >> i have no red regrets, i am following what lawyers told me they want me to do, there is no there there. >> stupid sto son of a [bleep], that is not what i said. >> only place in the world that does this. >> when did i say -- >> i said in next 6 months. >> i said, if you don't understand that, you are in the wrong business. >> [bleep] >> thank you. >> >> you are lying dog face
5:15 pm
pony soldier. >> you said you were. >> you are a damn liar man, that sea not true, let's do push ups together. man. let's to whatever you want to do. >> you think he is bully media now? >> this is the complicit media is engaged suddenly in oversight and accountability for the biden administration. i say welcome. but this has been a little long past. you know he has a thin skin. when he is wrong. and i think that is one of his you know political liabilities, media is finally trying to held him accountable. elizabeth: there are reports that white house plans to push back on the house g.o.p. probe of this, saying unless there is al legitimate inquiry. what to you make of that? >> le -- legislative
5:16 pm
branch has oversight and can ask for whatever they want, through long st longstanding tradition, we'll see what they can work out, if it comes to a standoff the white house loses because congress controls funding. >> matthew whitaker, come back soon. >> this story, elon musk, he claims he had major side effects from a covid booster shot that left him feeling like he was, quote, dying. and former white house chief of staff, how is he worth more than 400 million. fact checkers are bracing themselves, president biden is ramping up his claims about the economy. ahead of his state of the union address. >> former white house chief of staff, nick mulvaney next on the "the evening edit."

5:21 pm
the logos there, hillary vaughn on capitol hill with more. reporter: u.s. hit the credit limit, president biden is leaving it up to lawmakers on capitol hill to figure out. republicans' spending cuts, some democrats like manchin say it a mistake for biden to refuse to negotiate, president intent on pointing how the who is to blame. >> the debt we're paying on, has accumulated over 200 years, the big debate, i'll be honest with you. is the fundamental disagreement on what we should do to cut what -- what to we cut? not just cutting, what do you raise? what taxes do people pay. reporter: some democrats like senator i elizabeth warren agree with biden that rising debt is a sign we have a tack revenue problem -- tax revenue problem not a spispending problem,
5:22 pm
republican argue there are things they can cut and should. >> social security is to be saved. people earned it. everything else, look even medicare, that is not going anywhere. but can we bring efficiency do it, but the discretionary spending, democrats raised that by 12% the last budget, this is an outrage. reporter: an idea has been would mi mint a tri trillion dollar pol platinum coin. elizabeth: welcome back mick mulvaney, you heard the report, no negotiating in spending cuts, yes to tax
5:23 pm
hikes. we have pelosi attacking kevin mccarthy. that is what they are focused on? >> thank you, liz. it is hard to know where to start with this debt ceiling. you don't have a revenue problem, revenues have been growing faster than the population and household incomes and gdp . you don't have a revenue problem, the issue is spending is up faster than revenues are. you have that issue to deal work what sticks is this attitude that democrats feel like they can't negotiate, they don't want, to they say, there is nothing to be gained by negotiating that is not how washington works, when one party has control of one house in congress and the other of the other. almost like they are daring people to default on the debt, that makes no sense. my guess is, my guess it is an educated guess, this the
5:24 pm
first marker laid down by the democrats, they know i have that to negotiate, at least a little bit. elizabeth: it is a heck of a marker. american people don't work for the democrat party, dpithe democrat party works for american people and senator manchin may leave the democrat party, now this news, mick, what is your reaction you heard 42 house democrats proposing a new bill to get rid of the debt ceiling, they want to spend their way out of this. after that pandemic fraud, does anyonen 't to explain to american people where all that money disappeared to. vice president harris doling out money in central america who is tracking the money. >> they want to track -- the republicans do. they face obstacles at every turn, democrats have been trying for years to make you think that thering. >> here to see, that spend -- there is nothing here to
5:25 pm
see, that spending is easy and free. there is a reason we have a debt ceiling law, we knew 50 years ago you had to get together every now and then and raise the debt ceiling, why are we more no debt. >> is it necessary to fact check at president's economic claims, he is about to do his state of the union, he is taking credit for things like inflation dropping, which is now 5 times percent when we took office. even obama's former -- what you hear are leaping from logic you get from biden during election seasons. majority of americans disapprove of the president. on inflation att attack -- taxes and gas. >> i used told president trump, that presidents get blamed for a bunch of stuff, and credit for stuff they are not. but they can't have it both ways biden said all of the
5:26 pm
way up, said, it not my fault. you can't have to both ways, i think people see, that i hope at state of union we tried hard when we wrote the state of union speeching to make sure they would survive the fact checkers, i hope mainstream media fact checks biden as thoroughly as they did trump. we'll see how that holds up. elizabeth: they have to get their own relief spending. i'm kidding, overtime pay, because, you know. >> you are not kidding there say proposal like that during covid to bailout media companies. >> man. >> i know that is tongue in cheek but there was floated. elizabeth: good to see you, come back soon. >> thank you. elizabeth: former president trump, reportedly planning to return to twitter and facebook. that story ahead. >> elon musk claims he had

5:35 pm
mandates on things likous airlines, now the mandates are going away. >> i had a lot of respect for jeff zients before the current administration. his work at advisory board. but the school closures, the vaccine mandates, the censureship of people who descended from dr. fauci, and the way that dr. fauci was soal v elevated after making so many mistakes, after the pandemic, that is the concern. there are a group of people u.s. that believe in infinite vaccine boosters for young people, they believe young people should be boosted of year for life. i just think we need to listen to rank and file doctors not pharma. elizabeth: they are talking about vaccines you can drink and n nasa will. -- nasal. jeff zients is 90 million up to 442 million in assets.
