larry: i'll tell you this, you look at the evidence, the walls are closing in on the biden-burisma bribery headachedown scandal. getting tougher and tougher. but the walls never close in on elizabeth mac macdonald, ever. elizabeth: hope not, larry, thank you. great job, larry. it's a great show you did, thank you so much.

picking up where larry's reporting, james comer coming up on how he and senator grassley released today that bombshell fbi document detailing joe and hunter biden bribery allegations. allegations they, quote, coerced the burisma ceo to pay them millions in bribes to help him in a corruption probe. joe biden then got a ukraine prosecutor fired. doj officials block irs whistleblowers from even seeing that document even though they may have had corroborating evidence. and fights today broke out in the house hearing on censorship. it got so bad, democrats accused of censoring in realtime, even during a hearing. and biden now wants to spend hundreds of millions of dollars, your dollars, to buy thousands of electric cars for government workers that a taxpayers don't even want. and biden touts bidenomics today right as another new poll from monmouth shows a growing majority disapprove of bidenomics. i'm elizabeth macdonald.

"the evening edit" starts right now. ♪ ♪ elizabeth: let's welcome to the hoe the chairman of house oversight, congressman james comer. congressman, it's good to see you with. you and senator grassley released that fbi document from a whistleblower, from the veteran fbi informant. the fbi paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in the past. what does it say? >> well, this is from the fbi's most trusted, most credible, one of their highest paid informants in the whole bureau. and what the informant alleges to the fbi is that he was told by the burisma ceo that they paid two bribes, one to joe biden and one to hunter biden, for $5 million each in exchange for certain policy decisions. and we all know the policy

decision was to fire the prosecutor who was investigating burisma for corruption. and we've all seen the tv interview where joe biden brags about withholding $1 billion in foreign aid from ukraine until they fired the prosecutor. so the evidence here is pretty overwhelming that joe biden did something for the ceo of burisma. and what the form also says, liz, is that investigationers would have a hard time, it would take them ten years to determine how they got the money because of the way they transferred the money through so many different bank accounts. liz, that fits a pattern of what we've already uncovered in romania and china where when biden leaves there as vice president, his family starts getting big wires through shell companies that are then laundered to biden family memberses. and the last thing i'll say, liz, is yesterday during the whistleblower hearing i asked

the whistleblowers if they knew about this fbi form, and they said they only knew about it after they read about senator grassley and i talking about it, but that once bill barr gave it to u.s. attorney weiss, he never shared that with the irs team who was investigating the bidens for suspicious wires being received from ukraine. this whole thing is unbelievable. elizabeth: they could have had corroborating evidence. we're going to get to that in a second. this is the same burisma ceo in a corruption probe. he hired hunter biden to, quote, get protection from joe biden for his problems saying, quote, don't worry, hunter will take care of all of the issues through his father, joe biden. doesn't this line up with the whatsapp text the irs whistleblower said hunter biden sent to his chinese associate threatening him to pay up, my father's sitting next to me? >> that's right. i mean, the business model was hunter biden would go in, he would tell these people if you need anything from the united states, if you want your foreign

aid, if you want some type of sweetheart policy decision that would benefit you at the expense of the united states, then you better pay me off, because if you pay me off, you're paying my my dad off. and that's how they operated. and more and more evidence comes forward every day to corroborate that. elizabeth: all right. let's show fbi document, okay? we have the document, brooke singman got the document too. the informant was in burisma's office in ukraine, that burisma wanted to buy a u.s. oil and gas company so burisma could do an ipo in the u.s. stock market. they couldn't do one because they would be blocked because the founder was in a corruption probe. the, you know, congressman, the informant says it was unclear whether those payments were made, but he was basically saying i've got to hold on to the proof that a i made these bribery payments. he's got text messages, 17 audio record toings, 15 for hunter, 2 for joe and documents showing he was coerced to make the payments

meaning wire records and bank records. so how to do you prove -- how do you prove this stateside here in the u.s.? >> we're going to continue to follow the money. we've got some bank records coming in as we speak that pertain to ukrainian wire transfers. according to that form, there were many banks that were used to send the bribe to the biden family. and we all know that joe biden actually did what he was supposed to do in firing the prosecutor. now remember, what came out yesterday in the ir is s whistleblower hearing is that hunter biden was paid over $a 5 million from burisma for sitting on the board. that's more than people who sit on the biggest boards in america at amazon, procter & gamble, pfizer. no one makes a fraction of that for just sitting on a board. he made that much money. but this is in addition to that, what is alleged in the fbi form. and, look, there's wire transfers all over the place. there's shell companies the bidens created. there is a pattern of behavior

that we've seen in romania and china that is consistent with what is alleged in this fbi document. and the fact that the u.s. attorney would not share this with the irs international tax crimes division who was investigating the bidens for, guess what? ukrainian wire transfers. i mean, it is unbelievable. not only are we investigating the biden criminal activity, we're also having to investigate the cover-up. and, yes, there's a cover-up. that's why we released this fbi form. liz, when we first asked christopher wray about the fbi form, he tried to act like it didn't even exist if even though senator grassley and i had already seen it. he acted like it didn't exist. i mean, why is the government doing this? if why won't they come clean and be transparent? the smoke is there, the evidence is there. and as a kudlow says, the walls are closing in every day on the bidens. elizabeth: well, it looks like a quid pro quo here all over the place if the allegations are

true. >> absolutely. this is the quid pro quo. elizabeth: yeah. we don't know if it's true but, you know, so the fbi -- excuse me, the irs whistleblowers were blocked from getting access to hunter's laptop that the fbi had since 2019, blocked from searching hunter's storage unit and a biden residence. they didn't get, you know, the fbi bribery document allegations. let's please watch this, watch -- this is your hearing that you ran are yesterday. watch the irs whistleblowers. >> investigators were not allowed to follow up on whatsapp messages if from hunter biden's apple icloud backup where he suggest he was sitting next to his father. >> i never obtained location data regarding that message. when i asked her about the location data, in her response right here it was, well, how do we know that? it wasn't, yeah, let's try and figure that out, it was, like, well, how do we know that? >> was there other evidence in this investigation you were denied access to? >> hunter biden laptop.

>> who did you infer to be the big guy to be? >> president biden. >> and you testified that he said to, that hunter told his dad, according to rob walker, quote, i may be trying to start a company or try to do something with these guys. that doesn't sound much hike joe biden was -- like joe biden was involved in whatever hunter biden was doing with the cefc if hunter biden is telling him that he's trying to do business with them, does it? >> no. but it does show that he told his father he was trying to do business. elizabeth: yeah. he was trying -- he told his father he was trying to do business, so biden knew. put this all together. what should taxpayers know now about this? >> well, the taxpayers need to know that the reason we're investigating joe biden is we're concerned he's compromised because of the millions and millions of dollars his family's taken in. there's no question his family's taken in millions and millions of dollars. they account -- they can't account for a single penny.

they can't tell the american people one thing they did to receive that money, to deserve that money. here we are now funding this war in ukraine against russia, and we're sending ukraine a blank check, and the whole time the ukrainian government has known and could answer the question that donald trump asked, you know, what really went on here? and i think we're going to be able to find out what really went on here. but you take the policies that this administration is cranking out every day through executive order, put america last and china first. but at the end of the day, the motto for the bidens is put the bidens first and america last. so we're going to continue this investigate. elizabeth: should it take five years to investigate just two misdemeanors for hunter biden? >> no. elizabeth: if everything was so aboveboard, then why bury things in at least 20 shell companies? >> this has been a cover-up from the start. it's obvious. nobody creates shell companies, nobody gets 170 suspicious

activity reports where the banks say our client is laundering money through shell companies, laundering money from state-owned entities meaning state -- foreign companies that are owned by the government. these aren't foreign, legitimate businesses. these are businesses owned by the chinese communist party. everything in here stinks to high heaven. i'm about pulling my hair out, liz,because it's so obvious what's going on. the democrats say we don't have any evidence. well, we released more evidence today. if the bank statements, the e-mails, text messages and pictures aren't enough evidence, this fbi form, this testimony from the irs whistleblowers, hopefully they're starting to realize what enough evidence is, and we're just getting started in the evidence category. elizabeth: you know, your hearing yesterday, the irs whistleblowers testified they had evidence to charge multiple felonieses, that the irs criminal probe was triggerrerred by bank reports that identified hunter biden paying prostitutes

related to a potential prostitution ring. when you saw representative marjorie taylor greene hold up that image of pornography, he was not prosecuted for violating the mann act, tax fraud, deducting payments for prostitutes, democrats were upset. we watched you handle that situation. shouldn't democrats be upset with hunter biden? because he videoed himself in these depraved pornographic acts. a father. he's got children. >> yeah. elizabeth: shouldn't they be mad at him, not marjorie taylor greene? >> and he's living in the white house now. and, look, the democrats kept saying, oh, you don't have any evidence. well, marjorie showed them evidence. she showed them evidence of the president's son committing a crime, violating the mann act. she showed the plane tickets, she showed the pictures, she showed the evidence. you know, there's no question he violated it. that's another thing that he could have been charged with. you know, at the end of the day

when we wrap this report up, hunter biden's going to have between 6-10 criminal referrals. and the fact that he got a sweet with heart plea deal over, you know, a misdemeanor that should have been a felony according to the irs whistleblowers? these guys were the ones that were leading this investigation. he violated the foreign agent registration act, he was money laundering, he committed wire fraud, he violated the mann act. the list goes on and on and on, but yet he gets a slap on the wrist, and the democrats want to talk about the two-tiered system of justice in america is racist. hunter biden's the ultimate privileged white guy here. elizabeth: you've got more bank records coming, more possible government documents. how much do you think the biden family took in from overseas deals? >> i think it's going to ease wily exceed $25 million. and remember, liz, they can't

say one thing they did to receive this $25 million. and none of these are legitimate businesses that they got money from. they're all from our adversaries around the world, foreign nationals. elizabeth: got it. congressman james comer, chair of house oversight, thank you so much. we'll be staying on that story throughout the hour. congressman, thanks for joining us. we hope to have you back on again soon. we will be reporting on that bombshell fbi document senator grassley and chair comer released alleging joe and hunter biden coerced the burisma ceo to pay them millions of dollars in bribes. and also this, biden touts bidenomics today right around the time of a new monmouth poll showing a majority of americans disapprove of bidenomics. and the white house dismissing the dismal poll numbers claiming they don't tell the whole story. plus, fights break out in today's house hearing on censorship. democrats really going after rfk jr., accused of basically

censoring in realtime during the hearing. tonight, congressman chip roy, former texas governor and energy secretary rick perry, lieutenant christopher oliveras with the department of public safety for texas, fox news sunday anchor shannon bream, and tristan love vet, the attorney for irk rs whistleblower gary shapley, we've got a jam-packed, exciting hour for you. stay right there, don't move. ♪ ♪ only at vanguard, you're more than just an investor, you're an owner. our financial planning tools and advice can help you prepare for today's longer retirement. hi mom. that's the value of ownership. your record label is taking off. but so is your sound engineer. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. indeed instant match instantly delivers quality candidates

public and tv cameras. >> point of order. i know that witnesses usually have five minutes, i see ten minutes on the board. is it going to be ten minutes? >> we'll give -- if you want do cut him off and censor him some more, you're welcome to do it. [laughter] >> oh, that's not my job. that's your job. >> mr. kennedy is recognized for his opening statement -- >> i move that we move into executive session because mr. kennedy has repeatedly made anti-semitic and anti-asian comments as recently as last week. >> mr. chairman, point of order? >> gentleman from louisiana. >> is it the custom of this committee to censor viewpoints that we disagree with from witnesses? >> reporter: kennedy was here to testify on how he was censored over covid misinformation and blasted both the trump and biden administrations for engaging with social media sites to try to deplatform him for his public comments on covid-19. kennedy says democratic claims that he is a bigot and anti-semitic are false.

>> if the views that you and others have applied to me, have attributed to me, if they were actually true, i can see why i shouldn't be able to testify here today. those are not true. every democrat on this committee believes that we need to enthat polarization. do you think -- end that polarization. do you think you can do that by censoring people? i'm telling you, you can cannot. that only aggravates and and amplifies the problem. >> reporter: now, democrats say that kennedy does have a right to free speech. they're not trying to stop him are from talking, but they tell me he does not have an inherent right to testify before congress and be given that very public, elevated platform to speak. liz? elizabeth: hillary, it was quite a day. wow. just a portrait in maximum of what's going on in d.c. hillary, great journalism, as always. thank you so much. let's bring in from house judiciary, congressman chip roy. you were at the hearing today. what was your take on what

democrats were doing? because rfk jr. is being criticized for this theory suggesting that covid could have been a bioweapon intended to spare jews and chinese people but targeting caucasians and black people. so that's -- they took that and ran with it. did he explain himself on it? >> thanks. first of all, what we saw out of our democratic colleagues is more of of the same where they're trying to suppress speech and cancel, in this case, the very witnesses we had in the case talking about the extent to which they're clamping down on speech and suppressing free thought. that is the irony of ironies, but it's totally representative of today's democratic party. what's more ironic is that we've got robert f. kennedy jr., the son of the former attorney general, the nephew of the former president, the nephew of the former senator who is sitting here saying i'm still a democrat. i still believe in the core democratic principles. but the party has moved so far away from civil debate and civil

discourse, they're trying to shut us down. and now instead of just deplatforming me, he said, robert f. kennedy jr., because i dared to question covid, dared to raise questions about hank aaron and then twitter shut me down within four minutes, he said now they're trying to do the worst part, label me an anti-semite. that's what they were saying about robert f. kennedy jr. he made the point, and thomas massie inserted into the record, it was an nih record he was referencing. the point here is the left wants to go silence anybody who dares question the orthodoxy in the uni-party town, and they're doing it right now on full display, and you had democrat on democrat violence today in the weaponization committee and the judiciary committee. elizabeth: i mean, just debate on the facts. if he's wrong, hoe that he's wrong. don't -- show that he's wrong. don't go to the weapon of racism and that, you know what i mean

in the american people want to hear what a he he had to say. instead, they shut it down. by the way, he was deplatformed by youtube even announcing his candidacy. supreme court, supreme court. neil: gore such in a ruling lasg last may, pandemic lockdowns were, quote, the greatest intrusion on civil liberties in the peacetime history of america. we've never seen anything like this. this was wad when they did it -- bad when they did it with the covid shutdowns, to the government used the covid crisis to expand its emergency powers and lockdown orders on a breathtaking scale. justice gorsuch saying the american people are are so good and is so honest that they want to do the right thing, but it was so quick that they, how they were abused, that they shut the lights out on the u.s. economy and ordered them to stay indoors. he's saying that's basically

terrifying. >> well, he's right. i mean, let's just look at it, right? this is fox business. we spent $6 trillion in 2020 and 2021. to put that in context, we spent $4 trillion in current dollars for all of world war ii. you want to know why we have inflation? it's right there. you want to know why our children are behind in school? it's right there. you want to know why 100,000 small businesses shut i down? it's right there. you want to know why we have labor problems, mental health problems? it's right there. we shut down the greatest and biggest economy in the history of the world, and now you've got a guy running for president, a democrat, saying, hey, i've got concerns about what we are doing with vaccines, i've got concerns what we were doing with lockdowns, i've got concerns about what was happening hen people wanted to talk about natural immunity like thomas, my colleague, talked about today. and our democratic colleagues want to shut it down. they want to walk away from a reason debate.

when american people see with their own eyes what the power of government did to them. that is wrong. we -- and as kennedy pointed out today, this kind of tyranny, it is the step into the kind of fascism that will destroy a democracy and a republic like we have. we must fight it with everything we have. if we need the truth on covid, we need the truth so this never happens again. we need to repeal the prep a act. we need to go back and look at the liability, the protections for pharmaceutical companies who make hundreds of billions of dollars on the back of mandates, and we need to start fixing this right now. elizabeth: congressman roy, thanks for joining us tonight. we're staying on that bombshell fbi document that was released today by senator grassley and chair comer alleging joe and hunter biden, quote, coerced the burisma ceo to pay them millions of dollars in bribes. the push to verify this very serious charge is now on. and we have former energy secretary rick perry. biden now wants to spend about a billion dollars in taxpayer

elizabeth: did you see this story? biden now wants to buy 9500 electric cars for government workers that taxpayers aren't buying. it's almost triple what they bought last year. edward lawrence live at the white house to break this down. >> reporter: yeah. he's going to go up to 15,000 by 2024. now, the president today is pitching bidenomics in philadelphia. he told the unions there that his force transition will mean jobs. >> a lot of my friends in organized labor know when i think climate, i think jobs. i think union jobs. not a joke.

[applause] not a joke. this law is creating millions of good paying, clean energy manufacturing jobs including offshore wind. >> reporter: now, what he fails to tell you is the price tag. a new government accountability office report found 26 approved plans to buy 9500 vehicles will actually cost $500 million more for this fiscal year than if the administration just purchased gas-powered cars. the gao report found that an extra $200 million would be needed above the cost of a gas car to purchase that more expensive ev, then another $300 million would be needed to design and cup grade government buildings -- upgrade government buildings the handle the requirements for new evs. mitch mcconnell says this administration's policies, like the forced transition, only helps china in the short term. >> america's top adderer share clearly recognizes what the

biden administration does not. you can't win a strategic competition by hamstringing your own economy, and you certainly can't expect to convince your rival to follow suit voluntarily. >> reporter: the chinese president telling climate envoy john kerry this week in no uncertain terms that china's climate policy will never be influenced by others and will make its tradition at -- transition at its own pace, but at every turn the u.s. transition is costing more taxpayer money than first sold to the taxpayers of the united states. elizabeth: edward lawrence, thank you so much. let's welcome back to the show former u.s. energy secretary rick perry. it's good to see you. the gao says the cars, electric cars for government workers, it's going to cost, like, $770 million. on top to o that, more money for infrastructure. could hit a billion. what do you think of this? you know, electric cars are pile being up on dealer lots. people aren't buying them. >> yeah. i'm always humored when i see

the president stand up in front of people and have to remind them that what ooh he's talking about is not a joke, it's not a joke. [laughter] mr. president, it's closer to a joke than maybe you with realize it is. and, unfortunately, the joke's on the american people here. it's our money that's being spent on this cockamamie idea that we're going to force americans to drive electric vehicles. the market will decide whether they're going to drive electric vehicles or not. it's going to be up to those companies, the marketing of that, the building out of the infrastructure. and government's not going to make us do that, i will suggest. now, they may spend literally billions of our dollars making government agencies when it's the postal service or whether it's the military or what have you buy these. but, listen, out here in the rural part of texas that i live in, the idea that there's going

to be an electric car for our postal service or in the military and all the widespread places they get deployed to is, that is a joke, mr. president. and we wish you would quit trying to pull it on the american people. elizabeth: you know, the uaw doesn't like electric cars either because their workers don't make enough money. they don't get paid enough to build them. so his claim that it's great for unions, labor unions are saying, wait a second. you know, sir, biden today touted bidenomics. monmouth just delivered a brute am poll, 52% -- brutal poll, two-thirds disapprove of him on inflation, seven out of ten say the u.s. is on the wrong track. but now you're going to see biden today -- let me just back up. the white house press secretary, kjp, dismisses the polls saying they don't show the whole truth. your reaction to that. [laughter] >> they don't, they don't like what they don't like. i mean, this is pretty straight

forward. the american people are, they're pretty wise. they pay attention. they know what's happening to wages, they know what's happened to the price of goods out there. they go to the grocery store. they understand that this has been driven by policies in washington, d.c. that's driving up inflation. they know that. and president biden and his people can get out in front of the american people and tell them, you know, come up with another cool word, bidenomics or, you know, you name it, that this is good, and my father always told me don't take credit for something that you don't have anything to do with. so when it rained out here in west texas, my my dad said, son, don't take credit for the rain because, you know, when it doesn't rain, they're going to blame you for the brought, and there's drought more than it is raining. these are people who are not in direct contact with reality, all i can say. and the mainstream media has fallen for it. elizabeth got it. rick perry, thanks for joining us tonight. we'll have you back on, we hope,

republicans have said is, listen, this court has operated the same way for centuries, literally, but what you're doing now is taking action to try to stifle, muffle or control the court because you don't like the decisions can coming from the court. so, listen, democrats say we want the court to adopt its own code of ethics, we want them to make that public. we also want to give the public a chance to file ethics complaints against the justices and set up a framework to do that. republicans say no way it's going anywhere in the senate or the house, so we'll see if their prediction's right. elizabeth: interesting. let's listen to republicans on this. watch. >> with what was chuck schumer saying on the supreme court of the united states steps that day? he stood on the steps of the court, we will unleash the whirlwind. you won't know what hit you, justice gorsuch, justice kavanaugh. actually, i think he just said gorsuch and kavanaugh, leaving out their titles. what was it? was it, was the whirlwind the guy who traveled great distance

and arrived at night outside the home of justice kavanaugh to kill justice kavanaugh? was that the whirlwind? >> this effort to smear the courts is not about oversight or accountability, it's about outcomes that they don't like. >> what we are witnessing right now from senate democrats is an organized, concerted, clint effort -- deliberate effort to smear, to try to delegitimize and to try to destroy the supreme court. we're witnessing it because heir angry. elizabeth: what do you think, shannon? >> well, remember the nat judiciary committee tried to call in the chief justice of the united states, john roberts, to come and answer some of these questions and testify to them and talk to them about what they want to impose on the court, this idea of a code of conduct and letting the public file ethics complaints, that kind of thing. the chief justice wrote a letter, and he said we've got this under control. we police ourselves. and here are all the different, you know, frameworks that we have to abide by for, you know,

filing financial paperwork and disclosures and all kinds of things. all nine justices signed on to that letter, essentially all the attachments to it. so what the court is signaling is we don't need another branch telling us how to get our work done, and the nine are united regardless of which presidents nominated them the that bench, hay don't think the legislative branch should be telling them what to do. elizabeth: you know, it involves justice thomas, justice sotomayor, and the ionny is it's coming as -- irony is it's coming as congress is debating a stock ban by lawmakers. i mean, they have an inside perch on realtime information that moves stocks. it's kettle calling the pot black. >> i think that's one of the reasons the justices don't like being lectured by lawmakers. listen, there have been a number of justices current, in previous years who have traveled with people, stayed at their homes, accepted lavish gifts, those kinds of things. it's not just happening on one side of the aisle, and they say

they're in compliance for now. elizabeth: got it. shannon bream, always terrific to have you on. watch shannon tuesdays at 2 p.m., "fox fox news sunday," a terrific, smart show. more coming up on the bombshell fbi document alleging joe and hunter biden, quote, coerced the burisma ceo to pay them millions of dollars in bribes. that was coming out of senator grassley and james comer's office. we just had james comer on earlier. and republicans on house homeland security teeing up a potential impeachment of dhs secretary mayorkas. but first, let's check in with our friends dagen and sean to see what they have coming up next hour on "the bottom line." sean e sean e-mac, we have a huge show today. congressman jim jordan is going to be here talking about rfk's testimony on the hill about government weaponization as well as he's talking about yesterday's hearing on the irs. we also have steve moore here joining us. dagen: we got to see the democrats censor one of their own in a hearing about

elizabeth: let's welcome back to the show lieutenant christopher oliveras from the texas department of public safety. sir, house lawmakers now teague up impeachment of dhs secretary mayorkas, out with a scathing report accusing the secretary of being, quote, intentionally derelict in his duty to the country with a radical open borders agenda. your reaction? >> well, it's great to be with you. it's very evident that there is dereliction of duty from the past two years what we've seen at the border, the amount of people crossing illegally, drug smuggling, fentanyl, it's a complete disaster what we're seeing, of course. it also needs to be accountability not just at the secretary level, but9 from the administration all the way down. we need strong leadership to secure our borders, and that's not happening. we still have a serious issue at the border. we still have people crossing, human smuggling. children are being smuggled in vehicles. our state troopers have recovered over 900 children from human smuggling, trafficking events and have seized over 420

million lethal doses of fentanyl, so we do have a serious problem, and there needs to be accountability. i can tell you even if they do impeach the secretary, no telling who're going to get in place of that. it could be someone that could be much worse. so that's not going to be the end-all as far as trying to solve this border crisis. we need strong leadership, and there needs to be accountability. elizabeth: the government efforts to stop is illegal immigration, we're seeing monthly illegal border crossings drop to the lowest level in two years in june. it's now to under is 0 -- 100,000 for the first time in that time period. what's your reaction to that. >> i mean, of course, they have put some efforts in place, but we're still seeing well over 1,000 a day in the del rio sector. human smuggling and trafficking has not slowed down. drug i somehowing, fentanyl coming across the border, as has not slow ised down. we sill have tens of thousands of americans dying every year. so just because numbers are subsided between the ports of entry, it's all a shell game.

all they're doing is releasing migrants or illegal immigrants at the ports of entry, mass releasing them into the country. what's going to happen is they're not going to show up to their court date x it's going to be a much more severe problem in the future when you have millions of people in the country that are not going to show up for their asylum cases. elizabeth: got it. lieutenant oliveras, thanks for joining us. >> appreciate it, liz. elizabeth: we're staying on the bombshell fbi document released today by senator grassley and congressman james come canner, chair of house oversight -- james comer. next up, tristan leavitt, the attorney for irs whistle blow arer gary shapley. we've got that story and is much more coming up. ♪ ♪ ♪ the biggest ideas inspire new ones.

elizabeth: joining me now, the attorney for irs whistleblower gary shapley it's great to see you. thank you. what did you think of the reaction to your client, gary shapley's, testimony at the hearing yesterday in. >> i think it was great for people to see how credible and professional he is and the same for case agent ziegler. elizabeth: so what do you think of the democrats going a after him? [laughter] >> well, he knew, obviously, in coming forward with this kind of information that it was going to be polarizing, but i, you know, so it's dispinting that people chose not to -- disappointing that people chose not to engage on the substance, but i think what he shared was significant, and people could tell who was

paying attention. elizabeth: is gary shapley talking to you now about this fbi document that a senator grassley and chair comer released today, that the ceo -- it alleges that the ceo of burisma, the fbi informant got this information, a veteran informant paid hundreds of thousands of dollars by the fbi, that hunter and joe biden, quote, coerced him, the ceo of burisma, forced him to pay them a total of $10 million in bribes? this is the same ceo in a corruption probe 40 hired hunter to, quote, get protection, you know, from joe biden for his issues. >> yes. so gary submitted an affidavit before that he hasn't seen any such 1023, my cocounsel and i have been authorized by congress to hear confidential taxpayer information, so we will be reviewing this with him and figuring out if there's a supplemental statement we need to make to the committee about what impact it would have had. elizabeth: so he wasn't shown this fbi informant document, right in is that the issue? >> correct. he had no idea it existed until

there was public reporting about it after senate grassley released the information -- senator grassley -- i guess after the house oversight committee members started talking about it. elizabeth: so if he had known about it, would he have tried to work to corroborate it? >> i mean, without getting into the specifics of what they do, but i think without question he's said very clearly that, yes, this would have been very relevant to their investigation. they would have had to try to figure out if it was accurate. elizabeth: in other words, they would have had to try to trace the money flows. the irs criminal division is very smart about this stuff. the money flows through the 20 or so shell companies the biden family set up to take in their overseas cash flow, and the irs would be the a-team to figure out if that money was bribery, right? >> yes. yes. and not just the i are rs, but their international tax crimes team that gary led, that elite team of 12 agents he talked about yesterday. elizabeth: so do you, does gary think now, has he said that he

feels that other biden family members may have evaded their taxes with these shell companies? >> i don't know that he's talked on that, so i think i can't go outside the bounds of his transcript. but he's made clear that there are, they have received information that could have led to other individuals in the family, would want question, if they'd been allowed to investigate. elizabeth: so what concerns you most when you watched the hearing yesterday. >> i think just, ultimately, again, the unwillingness to address some of these things. i was very happy for joe ziegler to finally, you know, be public, and i think -- again, it's the biden family, i get that, but these are very credible individuals, career professionals. and so i think people need to listen to what they have to say regardless of your ideological predisposition. so it was disappointing that if many members of the committee just wouldn't do that, wouldn't engage. elizabeth: you know, the way to look at it is take out the words hunter, take out joe biden, take out the names.

when you see what happened and you look at the timeline and what went down, you know, a lot of watchdogs are saying this is really disturbing stuff, to have an elected official in the white house engaged in any way near or putting himself anywhere near this kind of activity. your final word. >> yeah, absolutely. there are questions that need to be asked, avenues that need to be followed. and, of course, as joe made clear, his view is it can only be done through a special counsel, so we'll see if that ends up happening. elizabeth tristan lev -- leavitt, it's good to have you on the show. please e-mail us on the show. i'm liz mac don, thank you so much for watching "the even eds admit" -- "the evening edit." we're going the turn it over to dagen and sean right now. take it away, you guys. dagen: thank you, e-mac. elizabeth: sure. ♪ ♪
