>> fox news obtaining a copy of rudy giuliani's notes outlining the testimony of the fired prosecutor who was investing hunter biden's company where he was sitting on the board. he claims he was forced to drop the investigation but democrats still don't buy it. the secretary of state for george w. bush, robert charles, thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. let's begin with a portion of the notes that fox news is privy to. in this it says the prosecutor attempted to continue the investigation but the us ambassador told him that the investigation has to be handled

with white gloves which implied do nothing. does this concern you? what are your thoughts? >> we are in very serious waters and it's important for people to understand that impeachment is dangerous. it is a disenfranchisement of the american people. if you are going to conduct an impeachment you better do it right and better have the fact that they better be on your side and better have no question about that and that is not what we are seeing here. yesterday the state department inspector general rushed to the hill to present exculpatory evidence you are describing to the 3 chairman and you end up in a situation where they are describing they were trying to get to the bottom of the russia collusion debacle and doing interviews around the world, get to this point and they begin to learn joe biden has intimidated or the obama administration intimidated this prosecutors to break off the investigation of

the gas company which had the son of the vice president on the board. the significance goes beyond that because there's another report that indicates adam schiff who is acting as the prosecutor in this case was involved in such a way he might have been coordinating with this whistleblower to create evidence and if that occurred against the defendant in this case, the president, what you are seeing goes beyond prosecutorial misconduct. it gets into the realm of malicious prosecution where you prosecute with bias or malice. >> let's move on to that and i want to bring up a statement from schiff's spokesman who is saying it happens all the time and you can speak from experience and tell us if this is true, that this is a regular occurrence given the committee's unique oversight role and responsibility is consistent with long-standing procedures. it now point to the committee review will receive the complaint in advance.

>> impeachment is not a standard procedure for anything. iran oversight committee for five years and we should very few subpoenas. there is a subpoena machine underway that is clearly cranking things out like salt at the bottom of the sea to do everything they can to undermine his president. i would argue that chairman and each of the chairman involved here have to be extremely careful and they are not being extremely careful. what it appears they are doing is coordinating with a witness in a way that would cause that witness to reflect their own malice. at that point that is completely different place when you come to the law. that appears to be a violation of the canon of ethics. someone needs to look carefully at that. lasting i will say is you have to look at why are the democrats rushing desperately to use a constitutional tool that is

usually only used in extreme cases of obvious high crimes and we don't have that. why are they doing that? appears a big train is coming into the station. we are about to get the report from the inspector general, the department of justice, the fisa warrant process, the united states attorney is turning up information about what really was at the source of the origins of the russia collusion debacle, you had 120 interviews at the state department. what is about to happen is we are going to learn the origins of an extreme nightmare for the american people, to watch the fictitious case brought against the president. >> we are going to learn it goes back a long way prior to the election itself. thank you for joining us, we appreciate it, you've been through watergate and you say this is no watergate. have a great day. it is 18 after the top of the hour, donald trump mocking the bidens on twitter with some help from mikel back. >> have never spoken to my son

behind-the-scenes. >> everybody can see it. >> it lives on in their memories forever. >> a shout out to whoever thought of that. >> kamala harris is ramping up calls for the president's twitter account. >> suspended on twitter so she says jack dorsey a letter saying donald trump has repeatedly violated twitter's was a few saying this, the president compared the was a blower to us by who may have committed treason and further in 5 the punishment for that should be death. these are blatant threats. no one should be exempt from abiding by twitter's user agreements but in june twitter announced some tweets from world leaders even if they break twitter's policy will not be removed because they are a matter of public interest and fellow presidential candidate elizabeth warren disagrees with donald trump's removal from

twitter. >> donald trump be banned from twitter? >> know. >> henry on twitter says i agree twitter should not band trump from its platform. we may not agree with trump but he has the right to voice his opinions under the constitution. another twitter user says i love how elizabeth warren handled that. not going to happen. >> let's move onto someone we don't want to see banned from twitter, a lot of folks don't, the rock, a 100-year-old superfan. >> happy birthday to you ♪ happy birthday dear marie grover who turns 100 years old today, so honored, happy birthday to you ♪ >> more celebrities need to do that. >> just do her laugh and then she gave her the best advice ever, she said eat cake, get

intel committee chair and continuing his familiar line of attack. >> he went up to a microphone in front of the american people and in congress, he went out and he gave a whole presentation of words the president of the united states never said. it has to be a criminal act, it has to be and he should resign and some people even say it was treason but it was a very sad thing. >> spokesperson confirmed the times report explaining, quote, like other whistleblowers have done before and since then the republican and democratic controlled committees the whistle blower contacted the committee for guidance on how to report possible wrongdoing within the jurisdiction of the intel community. of spokesperson clarified that shift himself is not met with or spoken with the whistleblower or their counsel leaving open the possibility of likelihood that staff did.

shannon: it would not be the first time that happened. >> reporter: got to listen to each individual word. appreciate it. house minority leader kevin mccarthy claims his colleague adam schiff has a history of deceiving the american public, he said congress should do more. >> democrats are trying to discredit democracy. this is exactly what it is and we should go further than censure, two years ago he lied to the american public where he said he had proof and evidence beyond circumstantial that carried us through this nightmare for the last two years. he met with michael cohen and his staff three times, ten hours, he met with glenn simpson with fusion gps and now he met with this whistleblower and lied to the american public. every time they have attempted a coup there has been one common denominator, the lies and deceit of adam schiff. he needs to recuse himself today. the speaker needs to remove him

as the chairman of one of the most sensitive committees we have, the intel committee. >> house speaker nancy pelosi is also facing scrutiny for telling 60 minutes she knew what was in a before the transcript had been released. much more developing on all of this. in the meantime homeland security preparing to expand dna testing of migrant detainees. the agency is already running a pilot program called operation double helix to determine family ties between children and parents in custody. we told you about that but the new dna test will help identify migrants apprehended at the border. critics call it an intrusive form of surveillance. a judge could decide tomorrow whether the special prosecutor in the jussie smollett case have a conflict of interest. dan webb cohosted a fundraising event for top prosecutor kim fox and wrote her a check in 2016. web is looking at whether fox's

office did anything wrong when all 16 charges against jussie smollett were suddenly dropped. the virginia officer suspended for turning illegal immigrants over to ice returns to work tomorrow. is for the in documented immigrant, he is still in the us so why is it okay to punish an american citizen who serves our country, other than the person who's breaking the law, dan ferguson's daughter was killed by illegal immigrant, to share his perspective. thank you for joining us, we do appreciate it. >> thank you. >> your daughter amanda was 28 years old at the time. tell us a little about what happened. >> my daughter was killed ten months and 11 days ago on thanksgiving day. she was killed by an illegal immigrant who came to the

country in 2012, was arrested on an assault charge, was deported, he reentered the country which made him a felon. he again committed another assault charge, was arrested, this time they didn't call ice or border patrol, just released him into society. he went out and had a drinking spree that night, drank 6 or 7 beers on thanksgiving evening, he was driving 70 miles an hour in a 45 miles own, he ran two red lights and killed my daughter as she was crossing the street in a crosswalk. he fled the scene, dumped the car, tried to change the evidence, white his figure prints off the car and stuff and this is all because people who arrested him on that assault charge didn't make one phone

call to ice like this officer did in virginia. he would have been arrested, would have been in jail since he was a convicted felon for reentry and he would not have been around to kill my daughter. this is why i think -- >> i was going to say i am so sorry ten months and 11 days ago i'm sure it just seems like yesterday and i cannot imagine how angry it makes you feel when you hear of incidents we keep hearing of like what happened in virginia. what do you have to say about that? >> how can anybody justify a city or police chief to suspend an officer for following federal law? this guy in virginia had no license, no insurance, he was in an accident, the officer ran his information, found out he was an illegal immigrant who had a warrant for violating his deportation, what a surprise he didn't show up for his

deportation hearing. the officer had a right to call ice to have them taken off the street. i was supposed to just give him his keys back and let him drive down the road with no license? the guy who killed my daughter had no license, no insurance, these people -- without any accountability. >> shouldn't have been on the road at all. a couple things in here and get you to respond because the fraternal police agree with you, police are not politicians, people can look at the statement in its entirety, police don't have the luxury politicians have in terms of which laws are good and which are not, we enforce them as written. they are supposed to. here's the fairfax police chief, what he had to say. this is an unfortunate issue where the officer was confused, first time we've had a lapse in judgment and the officer is -- he was confused about the law he was supposed to be upholding? do you think that officer was confused or did he do the right

thing? >> i think he did the right thing. in my opinion he is 0. shouldn't have been suspended at all. confused about the federal law? i don't think so. the sanctuary cities overlook this law to protect these people, these people are criminal aliens, they should be removed from society. you should not release them back into society to kill our kids. this hundreds of angel dads and moms across this country kids have been killed because of these policies. >> thanks for joining us, we appreciate you sharing your story, hopefully the more you share your story and others like you it can maybe make a difference and stop the craziness. our hearts and prayers go out to amanda as well, you and your entire family. we will be right back, stay with us.
