reporter: joe tacopino one of the lawyers representing former president trump says he plans to file several motions to dismiss this case against him. on multiple grounds. one of them selective prosecution. in his speech at mar-a-lago last night, mr. trump had harsh words for the d.a. prosecuting him alvin bragg. >> the criminal is the district attorney because he illegally leaked massive amounts of grand jury information. for which he should be prosecuted or at a minimum, he should resign. reporter: yesterday mr. trump pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, including transact associated with ali alleginged hush money payments to adult film star, stormy daniels. a federal appeals court in california ruled daniels

must pay more than $120,000 in legal fees that more trump accumulating defending himself against her defamation lawsuit against him that was dismissed in 2018. in his speech last night, mr. trump defended himself against two other investigations, one a federal investigation looking into his handling of white house documents at mar-a-lago. then a georgia investigation looking into allegations that he tried to interfere with joe biden's narrow win in the state in 2020. liz. elizabeth: thank you jonathan. let's welcome back to the show house oversight chair congressman james comer, do we have it correct are talking with house speaker kevin mccarthy and jim jordan and congressman brian style to discuss the next steps into your congressional inquire to d.a. bragg, he said that would be interference. >> well, we would make a strong argument that he has

interfered in an area where he has no, business that is federal campaign election law, we have been studying this crime issue and trying to determine the sources and provide solutions to lowering crime rates. one of the problems we have prosecutors who are not prosecuting the real criminals on the street, bragg is the poster child for what is wrong is soft on crime prosecutors and wasting their time and our tax dollars advancing a ideological narrative or their own political agenda. we'll talk about it friday and figure out where to go. i can tell you from looking at the charges and listening to my most democrat friends that despise donald trump, that have a goodn 'ting of understanding of the law, the whole case is a joke, we'll talk about it friday. you know what steps to move

forward if it is worth the trouble. now we see the charges, probly will be dismissed at some point. elizabeth: let's talk about that because you know, yeah, political case prosecutors say it will fall apart. the statute of limitations saying, that has expired on the underlying misdemeanor, they did not spell out what they want to convict trump for if federal campaign violation, and trump made business entrance ledgers in 2017. d.a. bragg needs a second crime, what is it? >> i have no idea. we have some sharp counsels on the oversight committee. i know a lot of very intelligent lawyers that are skilled in all sorts of law. many of them don't like trump to be honest with you,

but they are embarrassed by this they feel if you are getting trump it needs to be department of justice, something that the statute of limitations has not expireed and no question of what level of prosecutor should be prosecuting any case against trump. all of the boxes go unchecked with respect to this case ever amounting to anything. elizabeth: reasonable doubt reports that trumps said he paid the money to protect his marriage. that is how a jury decided not to convict former senator john edwards, who made that claim too. overkill part. dolcho34 counts related to 11 transactions. we understand falsifying business records but what is the proof of this with michael cohen saying it. >> there is no proof, john

edwards got money to pay that woman from heir to energizer fortune. donald trump used his own money. the whole argument that it is a federal campaign finance violation is a joke. elizabeth: da bragg said he does not have to spell out what the underlying felony. is watch the media reaction on this. cbs, abc, cnn, saying this case could -- will likely fall apart. >> the indictment does not say what the crimes were. >> let me say, the indictment does not specify, because the law does not so require. first is new york state election law, that makes it a crime to conspire, promote a c candidacy by unlawful means. >> com commentators saying there is not much in

here, raising questions about legal theory. >> speaks of someone who strongly does not want donald trump to get the republican president at nomination, i am distressed by this document. this is weaker than i feared it would be. >> we have find of whipped ourselves up about if they are bringing this case it must be more than what we know. and we looked inside, say, it is just the same stuff we already knew. what changed, you know the 7-year-old case. elizabeth: congressman this critics say this has banana republic stuff there could be constitution rally due process problems not spelling out for former president trump when the underly criminal felony was. >> this is a joke, political stunt, media was so excited about prospect of seeing donald trump in handcuffs and fingerprinted and a mug shot. they never really thought about the pos possible possibility that

is is a political stunt all along it is a waste of time and tax dollars, i believe that meadial turn on bragg. elizabeth: chairman comer thank you. >> back with us now former federal prosecutor and chris swecker. thank you for joining us. let's get your reaction, we will watch manhattan da bragg. >> these are felony crimes in new york state. no matter who you are. we cannot and will not normalize serious criminal conduct. elizabeth: first to you andrew? >> we has a long way to go to prove donald trump committed any misconduct, much less serious criminal misconduct he is alleging. there are so many issues,

they say in the law, if the law is not on your side, argue the lie and visa versa. he is in big trouble. he has to effectively prove beyond a reasonable doubt two separate crimes, i don't think he has come close to establishing even no notice the charges what he is going after. this case has problems from the get go. longer i look at it, the more problems i see. elizabeth: chris, you know violent crime in new york city is up about 23%. d.a. bragg's office is a revolving door for violent reoffenders, his team is accused of letting out offenders a number of them over 100 arrests, with 10 criminals that made up 500 crimes, 60% of those are out roaming the streets. >> we have come a long way since days when nypd working

with the d.a. office, they need to do, drove crime down dramatically in the 90s, they wai arrested the bad guys and re resit. we know that proven that you can reduce crime in that fashion. you have to have a d.a. office doing what they are supposed to do, which is prosecuting bad guys. he reduces half of felony charges down on misdemeanor, he wins about half of those and wins about 29% of his misdemeanor cases. you know we're talking about here ask a disaster of a district attorney office. no matter what nypd does, you know crime is proliferating, increases, i lay that at his feet. elizabeth: what chris said, andrew, what do you think we have about 7 dozen homicides and over 3500 robberies in

new york city this year. >> i think we have to look at the problems that we have very serious crimes, before we get to the far less serious crimes that we're talking about in mr. trump's case. when we have a city that is indated with increase in crime, you have to look at what resources are and prosecution office, is it just a political point that mr. bragg is trying to make by letting criminals go and going soft on crime? or a resource issue. is he misusing his resources or redirecting them to president trump prosecution while there are so many serious crimes going on. i think after we saw amount of resources into trump indictment and how flat it fell, i think there will be huge questions about where the money, where the time is going in the d.a.'s office here in manhattan. elizabeth: what andrew said, chris, that is what house lawmaker chairs want to find out about and speaker mccarthy. given all of the crimes the

misuse of federal funds taxpayers in new york city, voters are getting harmed and minority neighborhoods really getting hurt. >> as former local county prosecutor, you have to -- i know you have to respect the power that you have. you have to use it. >> yo. >> judeish usually -- >> you d. >> you would not squander them to frivolous p prosecution, we dealing with a d.a. who has to buckle up and be an attorney, i think what he was shooting for what the big pop, he was the person to indict trump, now i don't think he can cash a check he, i think it is thrown out in one of the

first preliminary motions. elizabeth: thank you andrew and chris. good to see you. >> we'll give you more details and news coming in on the trump indictment. >> we have this story coming up. finding more abuse of covid aid spending discovered and found. congressman stuebe, with more classified documents exposes china spy threat. now on the move with russia to to the u.s. dollaro "the evening edit." what if there was a community of like minded people ready to support you when you need it most? christian healthcare ministries is an organization with over 40 years of trusted care who understands the importance of family. a group that sees you for who you are regardless of your health history.

importance to the free world. reporter: china sees it different please. chinese embassy in dc sent a letter to bipartisan group of lawmakers who attended today's meeting, warning them to beijing this meeting is a provocation, the white house disagrees. >> it is an unofficial visit, it is private, should not be used for and kind of escalation over raked. overreaction. reporter: republican lawmakers sent a letter to homeland security secretary mayorkas this week, expressing concerns about chinese-made cranes at u.s. ports, they are worried they could be used to collect sensitive info about u.s. military operations and shut down port operations entirely, concerning right now as tensions grow between the u.s. and china. elizabeth: great reporting from grady trimble.

>> thank you. >> look who is back. congressman greg stuebe with house ways and means. you just heard that report, we have the geopolitical problems, now this stuff with the trump indictment, where do you come own on that. >> chinese communist party can't tell american government officials who we can and can note meet with. i support kevin mccarthy meeting with taiwanese president. never would we tell other countries who they could and could not meet with. interesting from white house they are classifying this as unofficial but meeting in the official capacity. it does not matter, chinese communist party cannot tell us who we meet with, we have good relationship with tie an ease. elizabeth: what do you think of the trump diementz. indictment. >> there are so many issues, a li li

politicalization and weaponization of the justice system. of these indictments because they touch federal pieces and federal law and federal elections law. we the house will investigate some of this. it is a sad day in america when you weaponized the justice department to fraufraudulently go after the former president. elizabeth: a huge destruction with things like russia and china trying to supplant the u.s. dollar. and saudi arabia with second production cut. we have talked about this u.s. dollar is taking hits from fed money printing and the blowout in government spending, watch the

president mislead on the ramifications of a spend blowout. >> i cut the deficit over 2 years by 1 trillion, 700 billion dollars, more than any president has in history of the united states of america. >> if we're going to turn our politics over to people who maybe for the hic heck of it making you of stuff, where does it stop. >> do you know wonderful people, well educated who are great, they are successful. nice people, and all that. the way on the other side, of our democracy in our own country, why? they don't want to pay more taxes? elizabeth: critics say, hillary clinton should look to biden for making stuff up, deficit is down because

record pandemic release spending expired. debt, federal debt rose, under biden about 31 billion, but what about nancy pelosi saying people are way on the other side of democracy because they don't want to pay more taxes to pay for their p blowout spenting. >> you could say his comments were misleading, i would say a lie to american people like a lot of things coming out of the white house. when i first got elected to congress 4 years ago deficit was 21 trillion today is it 31 trillion, to say high cut deficit is a a lie to american people it is just covid dollars is being returned because this was nnot spent. any time that republicans to stand to lower taxes, so you could put more money in american people's pocketbooks, democrats say

plan. elizabeth: okay, it has been 3 years since the pandemic, covid aid still not reaching students after that time, house lawmakers demand to know why, mike emanuel with

the story in washington. reporter: pressing cardona for answers. comer and fox and panel chairman brad wenstrup are raising concerns about misuse of pandemic funds on favored social agenda, with examples from illinois, california, and new york where lawmaker say covid relief money was used to implement bias training, and lgbtq plus cultural competencey. >> you look at left wing leaders in many of the cities, in department of education with the bosses at teachers union, you have to situation, let's use this money, a once in lifetime opportunity to push a radical new left wing agenda. reporter: california department of education insists it is untrue that funds were spent as the lawmakers suggested saying:

>> comer's response is they commingled federal money with state funds. >> the lawmakers note that american students continue to suffer from learning losses, due to lengthy school shut downs. liz. elizabeth: mike, always great, thank you. >> welcome back to the show for his reaction congressman byron donalds, a pleasure to have you on. what is your reaction to that report? we see georgetown university, saying about a quarter of the 184 billion in pandemic aid for the schools went toward things like fixing buildings and new conditio construction. >> my response is, this is why we did not want to send that money out and joe biden's rescue plan whatever he called it. they took that money, they

wanted that money, may did not reopen schools. you know the number one thing that would have kept kids on grade level, they listened to the teachers union and followed their radical lead, i'm talking about the unions. they followed home, and now we're finding out that money was sent to the other areas that did not go to student performance. one last thing, joe biden wants to send out the rest of that money, about a half trillion dollars of obligated covid spending, that is to go out the door this year has not left yet oits way out. house republicans are saying why are we sending that money out, covid is over. joe biden wants to continue funneling the pet projects that we do not need. elizabeth: that is a red flag for another failure, this is a presidency that has failed. we don't say that lightly, 538 saying approval rati ting this this president are below every president back

to truman. now with a new more concrete pandemic fraud estimate, 560 billion or 20% of the aid stolen. that is from groups in china, and russia. and federal prisoners. jobless benefits fraud to 21 percent rate from 9 percent. >> all those things are true. we had a hearing in february at the start of this where over site committee is looking into this, we will not stop. the amount of fraud associated with these programs was outrageous. we have to take care of the people's money, we cannot just push this money out no matter what, i get it when covid hit and congress responded on bipartisan basis, with the cares act. it was not perfect going out the door it was a pandemic situation, as the programs have continues to exist, more fraud has shown up.

we have a responsibility to shut it down. elizabeth: congressman, we would like your reaction to more voters on the street in washington d.c. they now say that is a failed presidency, the question is, is this why this white house is delaying president biden 2024 announcement in the fall. >> if there was one lower than f, it would be that. >> we're being mismanaged. to a severe degree. >> as a country, we are getting further in debt, she not helping. >> economically he has worked hard to limit the inflation. >> everything he touches, goes wrong. elizabeth: congressman, what do you say? >> i say, that joe biden is terrible at his job. i have been saying that for past two years, he prove its again. elizabeth: people say, g.o.p. lawmakers, they will say that he is on the other

side if you take out word biden and just average voter what would you say? >> i would say the government is out of control. they are not mindings the store, not doing jobs they are supposed to do, they are involved in other as picks of american life, which they have no business being involved in the economy is a mess, inflation is hurting my pocketbook, there is fentanyl on the street that all falls at feet of joe biden. and quickly if you think you can get rid of joe biden and policies will change, no they won't. who do you get? kamala harris, pete b buttigieg he is a failure and gavin newsom is a disaster as well. >> thank you congressman donalds. >> any time. elizabeth: the media getting called out, reported made up charges not found in the indictment. >> and coming up white coat waste projects. congress' own watch dogs the

elizabeth: let's welcome to the show from watch dog group white coast waste project, justin goodwin, we read through you're reports, you are finding based on government documents lack of oversight. worse than people realized. now congress' watchdog the gao found the same, can you explain it, many think that dr. fauci is a hero. >> i believe he is a mad scientist, because of the pa pandemic that killed over 10 million people, our world wide waste campaign has been documents scary spending overseas by dr.

fauci and others at nih on dangerous, cruel and unnecessary animal experiments like those we exposed at wuhan lab in april of 2020, we were first to expose dr. fauci was shipping tax dollars to wuhan lab for dangerous gain-of-function. he has denied that, but documents we have obtained show he was funds those, that we believe killed millions of people. that is the tip of the iceberg, his division and nih have been shipping billions overseas to animal laboratories in places like china and russia, where we exposed h horrendous cat experiments funded in 2021 by the biden administration and a kremlin laboratory. and also tunisian lab experience that fauci was funding.

with taxpayer funded animal experiments in that lab, now government accountability office as you noted has done an audit at request of congress follo following our investigation confirming everything that we find, nih shipped over 2 billion to foreign l laboratory and there is essentially no oversight, they don't inspect the labs in 38 years of lab oversight they never visited a lab once. elizabeth: we're talking 200 different labs in 44 nations that got over $2 billion over last 10 years, including china and russia, no oversight from dr. fauci or the nih or niaid on what they are doing with cruel and brutal experiments on animals taxpayers don't know, does the nih or niaid

verify what they are getting or they asleep at the switch. >> they are given the foreign animal laboratories a free pass, shipping the money they have no idea how it is spent, fauci admitted that several times during hearings in front of congress he does not know how the wuhan institute of virolvirology how they are spending the money. and then injected to humanize mice. caused a lab leak. this is a shipping tax dollars overseas to animal labs with no act countability and transparency is a recipe for disaster. elizabeth: it is so savage and cruel. i'm sorry it is just horrendous. to what you say, let's listen to dr. fauci testify and senator john kennedy asking him, do you do

oversight? do you can keep tabs. >> you gave them money, you said don't do gain-of-function research. >> correct. >> they said, we won't. >> correct. >> and you have no way of knowing whether they did or not, but you trust them, is that right? >> well, we generally always trust the grant elo do what they say. >> how you can trust the grantee to do. >> it is asinine and insane wwe have to stop money and madness. we're working with members of congressional leadership to works on legislation to defund laboratories in russia china and other foreign enemies and crackdown on other foreign

laboratories. >> justin goodman terrific, thank you so much for bringing this story to our attention. >> thank you. elizabeth: terrific group white coast waste project. thank you so much. coming up my hot take. you don't want to miss it. >> congressman darrell issa on this story, media getting slammed for reporting made up charges, not found in the trump indictment but check in with dagen and sean. >> thank you. we have a great show, with kellyanne conway, diving in to trump indictment and left wing media. under wi wimmed. >> the disaster that is chicago steve moore weighs in on economic implications and douglas murray about the children have taken over ccorpus over

elizabeth: look who is back with us, congressman darrell issa. we don't like to be well whatever the media does.

it is free speech. but they reported on a made up charge of conspiracy that was not even in the trump indictment. >> again to 34 counts of falsifying business record and conspiracy. >> according to cbs news, 34 counts, of falsifying records and conspiracy. >> i think that one of critical things we learned, there is a conspiracy count. >> we have new information out of court that d.a. charging this as a false business record and conspiracy case. elizabeth: congressman. your reaction. >> well, there is also no crime unless you put together two unrelated activities, one of which is in the bastion of the federal government. u.s. attorneys have passed on prosecuting or considering any wrong doing on federal election law. you really have to take a

nonviolation and a maybe violation of a record that was not reported accurately, put those together then call it a felony, you add to conspiracy it is not in the charges. elizabeth: they were tweeting like it was. everyone needs to stop being so hysterical and stick to the facts. the facts of the case show this is a misdemeanor. books and records change where statute of limitations expired years ago. he did not introduce what the underlying felony was. >> it does, and to be honest, is apron a, this is the bastion of the federal government to have this charge valid, you have to move it to federal

court. which this district attorney would never move it there it would be dismissed on its face. elizabeth: the whole get trump, right? we understand that people don't like trump they don't like the way he behaves and says. but you take the word trump out and you look at the facts sunday of his inauguration is gives reasonable sober person pause. >> yes this is like the nevada situation with oj people basically said, we got away with something, we have to find something, then throw the book at him. >> oj was you know guiltez in that case. >> they did, but, they treated it charges differently. but you are right. the fact is, president is not you know without his flaws and certainly he was a playboy in his youth. and throughout most of his

life, that is not in debate. the fact is that -- this is what i try to have your viewers understand, members of congress have had your government dollars spent to silently get rid of accusers of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior, and right now saying this is v valid and serious. in american people pay with personal funds sometimes the business funds or government funds to make them go away s silently there is no crime there. elizabeth: back to you comparing trump case with oj, unclear to viewer what you meant. that seemed like a leap. >> well, the challenge we're facing is that the many people think that the president should be punished for whatever. january 6 or whatever. and the case of this d.a. bragg he was looking for a

crime he found a crime. in his mind, and he will punish it best he can. the president is not guilty of anything more than a misdemeanor. >> okay. we'll stay on this story with you congressman issa. the oj thing was an unfortunate kind of comparison. >> you will be back with us for our hot take, don't move. for severe eosinophilic asthma. nucala is not for sudden breathing problems. allergic reactions can occur. get help right away for swelling of face, mouth, tongue, or trouble breathing. infections that can cause shingles have occurred. don't stop steroids unless told by your doctor. tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. may cause headache, injection site reactions, back pain, and fatigue. ask your asthma specialist about a nunormal with nucala.
