dies. it will lay out case of what is at stake is that -- and 74 days. everything that matters about liberty and freedom in our future. if hannity.com, amazon.com. set your dvr, let not your heart be troubled. there she is. hi. >> laura: hannity, i left -- >> sean: everybody knows who you are. >> laura: i should hope so, it's been a few years now. hannity, by the way, i love the biden team response to the unmasking. this is so typical of the clinton-obama-biden obama denial deal. the documents have nothing to do with any fbi investigation and they prefer -- i felt like they said -- why didn't he just say it was all done by the book? [laughs] >> sean: by the way, you don't have to be a thinker to understand that reference. by the book, that's the 15 days after the memorialization on inauguration day of donald trump by susan rice. i'm going to tell you something, laura, he said on monday, i

don't know. he's lying. he had his own unmasking request. this is not the country with a fourth amendment and constitution that i know. >> laura: no, but we are going to try to reclaim it, phenomenal job tonight. you unpacked a lot and we're going to pick up the baton. thanks a lot. i more increment this is another big ingram angle from washington tonight. everything you need to know about what we just talked about, this obama era unmasking scandal, why it matters, why it's important. dershowitz, eastman, weiss and berg all in moments. plus remember marie yovanovitch? she was held up as this great saint, this hero by the press in the last -- for standing up against time, but did she tell the truth about her knowledge of marie's mom? oh, yeah, we are tracking that with john solomon, breaking news for us tonight on that. you won't see it anywhere else. joe biden's media fillers get more embarrassing and revealing and hilarious. all from yesterday's covid

hearing, we have those histrionics also from raymond arroyo, has it all and "seen and unseen." but first, senators chuck grassley and ron johnson earlier today released the list of obama administration officials who didn't make those requests to unmask information on my plan, reveal who it was on that phone call and after four years now of wondering and speculating, we now know -- we've been asking this, i think i've been talking about this since day one, who in the obama administration was so curious, especially in those final days of the obama administration? who was it? well, we should note, the practice itself, unmasking, isn't illegal, but passing the info around for illicit purposes, linking it to the press, oh, yeah, that is illegal. and we know that that occurred here. so since there are a number of dates and names on this list, i think it's important that we walk you through it. the timeline of events to make sense of it all because it can get a little confusing, but it

will all be after this. the first important date to note is december 23rd 2016. okay? right before christmas. according to court filings, that's when russian abbasid or sergey kislyak contacted flynn and spoke to him about a u.n. security council resolution that obama had orchestrated that condemned israel. that same day, samantha power, former ambassador to the u.n. made an unmasking request regarding flynn. in fact, it was the sixth request that she had made regarding the incoming national security advisor, and that's pretty interesting given what she told the house intel committee in october 2017. she said, i have no recollection of making a request related to general flynn. six times she did it, so if her memory is as bad as biden, or she's lying. only two options. the next important date in the

flynn case is december 28th. okay? just five days later in 2016. that's when kislyak contacted flynn after president obama announced new sanctions against russia for election meddling. now, who do you think made the unmasking request that they? none other than former director of national intelligence, james clapper. so according to the documents, clapper made at least three unmasking requests, so keep adding it up, six from power, three from him regarding flynn. which is a different number than old clapper told congress. >> mr. clapper -- did either of you other request the unmasking of mr. trump, his associates ory unmasking of members of congres? >> yes. in one case, i did. i can specifically recall but i

can't discuss it any further than that. >> laura: i set up a time that long pause was meaningful. now we know why. so now we fast-forward to january 5th, 2017. it's all a tight timeline here. that's the day of the infamous white house meeting where obama himself revealed that he knew about flynn's contact with kislyak. and that surprised acting attorney general sally eights at the time. she was like, why did he know that? well, that could be odd though because on that same day, his chief of staff, dennis mcdonough, made an unmasking request on flynn. so the chief of staff for the president asked for the unmasking of flynn later on that day. okay. over the next five days, januar, even more unmasking requests were made. we are very curious. and then comes january 12th

2017. that's the day david ignatius published a column mentioning the call and the possible logan act violation. who made an unmasking request that day? ready for it? we need the drama. there he is, vice president of the united states and future presidential candidate joe biden. stand up, people, give him some applause for that one. that might strike all of you as odd given that this was -- what was joe's recollection of the events surrounding flynn just two days ago? >> i know nothing about those moves to investigate michael flynn. >> you were reported to be at a january 5th 2017 meeting for you and the president were briefed on the fbi's plan to question michael flynn. >> i thought you asked me whether or not i had anything to do with him being prosecuted. i'm sorry. i was aware that there was -- that they asked for an investigation, but that's all i know about it.

>> laura: what was going on with the earpiece? just popping off, that was also odd. it even seemed believable in the slightest to anyone with half of a brain cell. you might've noticed a couple of names were not on that timeline, a former cia chief john brennan. his name is on the list along with jim comey. they made unmasking request regarding flynn between decembe. but why were they making them back in mid-december weeks before flynn's call with kislyak? what was going on at that time that prompted those unmasking request to in fact, the earliest unmasking request for flynn came from samantha power herself right after thanksgiving, november 30th, 2016. that was ten days after trump named flynn as national security advisor. so why so many early unmasking requests? answers to questions like that are still outstanding and

perhaps john durham will uncover those answers. we have our own theories. in the meantime, what is clear is that the effort to unmask flynn was done in an act -- or set eisai acts of pure political calculation and malice. and then leaked to the press for those same reasons. americans better start asking for accountability and start themselves getting a little curious about how many of these same folks would find themselves once again serving the public interest in a biden administration. joining me now is alan dershowitz, harvard law professor emeritus and author of "guilt by accusation." also with me as john eastman, senior fellow at the claremont institute and constitutional scholar. professor, the biden campaign said in a statement today there was nothing improper about all of this, that this is gross politicization.

thoughts? >> the politicization is certainly happening. the question is on whose side and that's what attorney -- u.s. attorney dunham is going to have to look into. he is highly regarded. he has been given a very broad mandate and he's going to have to look into who sought the unmasking, why they did, what they knew when they sought it, whether it was done for political purposes or legitimate national security purposes. once we have all the facts presented in a nonpartisan, nonpolitical way, will know what the consequences are. political debt that has to be paid, but we have to wait to hear from the person who's in charge of the investigation. i have faith that he will do a very good job. >> laura: jenna meant, for some reason comey's former chief of staff thinks that revealing

the unmask errors themselves makes the trump administration look bad. check it out. >> is there anything else afoot in this declassification? >> i can think of a nefarious reason. the trump administration trying to exact revenge on enemies perceived and real, most the perceived of course. the pattern we see with this administration, this justice department, is that we usually move to the nefarious reason and where proven right. >> laura: john, a lot of comments blow me away, but that really does take the cake. it's trump who was trying to get back at enemies? can you imagine if it turns out that biden wins in november as a great national review columnist wrote today and then it turns out trump had like all these unmasking request but his incoming national security advisor in the same facts ended up four years later and then everyone is just going to say let's move on? which laughable. >> the double standards here are

amazing. but the number of crimes that seem to have been committed is exponentially increasing with every new download of information. so it's true that we have the ability to conduct surveillance on foreign nationals in this country, particularly russian ambassadors and it's true that sometimes americans will get caught up incidentally in that surveillance. the law requires that we keep those names masked unless there's a specific reason for people to unmask them and only specific people high up in the administration have the authority to request for a name to be unmasked. this is the name of an american citizen. one of the grounds is to put the conversation, the foreign intelligence, in context. another ground is to keep evidence of potential criminal activity by the american citizen. otherwise, the information has

to be destroyed within 72 hours. this is why you get the phony charge and maybe flynn violated the logan act, which is preposterous. one, nobody has ever been convicted under the logan act and the 200 years it's been on the books. and two, he was the incoming national security advisor. part of his team duties statutorily authorized duties as part of the transition team is to start having conversations with his counterparts around the world to ensure a seamless transition. so the claim of logan act violation is this hook to authorize the unmasking. it's just preposterous. >> laura: congressman jerry nadler, professor dershowitz, is thinking of ways to punish the department of justice now. watch. >> we will do what we have to do, whether that's a subpoena for that's deciding the department of justice doesn't really need all the appropriations it's getting, or the attorney general doesn't need us appropriations.

we will consider all those methods. >> laura: it sounds like impeachment part two there. >> well, the great tragedy is that the american public doesn't know who to trust. they don't know who is using politics and misusing national security. everybody seems to be weaponizing national security and other issues for political advantage. now, enter judge sullivan. he has become the most partisan, the most political in this effort to try to resurrect the prosecution again. >> laura: we are going to get into that in a moment. >> it's just outrageous in the american public are the big victims here, because we don't know who to trust. that's why it's essential that john durham do his investigation and tell us what the facts are. let the facts be revealed and let the chips fall where they

may so the american public can judge. >> laura: well, i just go back to the idea that if the same set of facts were carried out by the trump justice department against an incoming national security advisor, heaven forbid, in my view, in a biden administration, the same exact people, players, and the press would just have a collective yawn? i don't think so. >> i agree. >> laura: that's all you need to say about this. we've got to move on because without to get into sullivan, but both of you, thank you for joining us. that's the way it is in the new covid world. i want to bring in sol wisenberg, whitewater deputy independent counsel. the other elements in this case, and you heard dershowitz get into it outside of the unmasking is this presiding judge now over the flynn case. judge emmet sullivan. given how sullivan has been a little bit out of line along the

way, a lot of people are wondering why he still on the case and i'm hearing in late 2018, sullivan admonished flynn for being an unregistered foreign agent of turkey, something he wasn't even charged with. then he asked prosecutors if flynn could have been charged with treason, noting later that he was "not hiding his disdain. i clerked for a couple pretty great federal judges on the appellate court, the second circuit and then in the supreme court. i can't imagine a sitting judge making those types of statemen statements. but sullivan is now preventing the doj from dropping the case, so he's allowed now outside parties to file amicus briefs, tonight an editorial in the journal spreads the move saying if the prosecution and defense both want to drop a case, can a federal judge reviews and sentence the defendant anyway? the easy call should be no, which makes all the more bizarre

federal judge emmet sullivan's decision tuesday to invite outside brief from the michael flynn case, which amounts to the de facto outsourcing of the prosecution to partisan legal analyst who want mr. flynn to hang because he worked for president trump. where are we here? >> keep in mind, that editorial was written before judge sullivan did what he did tonight, which is even more shocking. he appointed former federal judge john gleason to be the amicus, the one person on that issue of what he should do with the motion to dismiss, but he also asked the judge to look at whether or not michael flynn should be held in contempt, presumably because he perjured himself when he said he was guilty for lying to the government. that's really, really shocking and keep in mind, it's even worse than you said how he acted, how judge sullivan acted

if that initial sentencing hearing. keep in mind, that was the sentencing hearing, when a judge goes to senate somebody, they're supposed to know the case from mars and backwards. for supposed to know all the facts and this was at a point where both the prosecution and defense were asking for no jail time and judge sullivan wouldn't let them do it and judge sullivan, as you pointed out, said you were an agent of a foreign government. when you were national security visor, which wasn't true. you sold your country out, which wasn't true. and then asked the prosecutor is he a traitor, which of course was outrageous and not true. why do i bring it up? -- i bring it up because it shows that -- and intemperance of this judge having to do with this defendant. if i had been the attorney at that time, i would have -- i would have moved to have him recused from the case. really shocking behavior but that gives you an idea of what is motivating judge sullivan here. >> laura: luck, someone -- we

both have a lot of respect for the federal court system, we want to believe the best of people, even if we disagree with their judicial philosophy, but this just seemed vindictive at this point. and you brought up the clinton appointed judge, john gleason, who sullivan just appointed to present the arguments against the doj's attempt to drop the case. a lot of people follow this year. just days ago, he wrote this in "the washington post." flynn's guild has already been adjudicated, so if the course finds dismissal would result in a miscarriage of justice it can provide the commotion. proceed to sentencing. >> he's wrong. >> laura: okay, hit that. >> aside from everything else, he's wrong. that's very misleading. in fact, under the d.c. circuit, binding circuit law, the case has the ungainly name -- under that case which just came out two years ago, the d.c.

circuit which you cannot refute -- if the government wants to dismiss a case, the district court not refuse to do so because he doesn't like the government's theory, because he thinks the government should continue the case. and it doesn't matter if the defendant has pled or not. the law is clear and former judge gleason in his op-ed made it seem like it's all up to the judge now and it isn't. the judge has a ministerial function. here is what's going on here. i believe judge sullivan is trying basically to force donald trump to issue a pardon if he wants mike flynn to go free and that's not right. bill barr has given his reason for why the case should be dismissed. he's the executive branch, he represents the executive branch in the courts and he is allowed to do that. >> laura: this is a lot of information and you've made it really clear and easy to understand for a lot of

laypeople out there, thanks very much. >> thank you for having me. >> laura: we have more breaking news on the russian narrative imploding now with john solomon. he has an exclusive later in the hour, but up next, my mini angle exposes america's coronavirus truths, tyrants, and fraudsters. and then dan bongino and chris hahn debated. stay there.

♪ >> laura: and now covid truths, fraud and tyrants. first the truth. told you seven weeks ago that eye drops of corbin is likely saving lives. now another study confirms that conclusion. it was conducted by nyu's grossman school of medicine where researchers looked at 932

covid patience who were on a drug's apartment along with zinc and azithromycin. they concluded that the triple combo, they were 44% less likely to die from the coronavirus. good news. take that, fda. second piece of good news, the two states that opened up first, florida and georgia, both are continuing to see declines in covid infections. while, shocking to liberal haters, but not to you, because we told you that the virus was probably weakening and that people would innovate to stay safe. and now onto the fraud. let's start with rachel levine, who weeks ago ordered nursing homes to admit covid-positive patience. well, while thousands of residents saw their loved ones and family members die, levine quietly extracted her own mother out of harm's way. , reportedly moving her from a nursing home

to a hotel. >> my mother requested, and my sister and i come as her children, complied to move her to another location during the covid-19 outbreak. my mother is 95 years old, she is very intelligent, and more than competent to make her own decisions. >> laura: i would rather have her mother be health secretary of pennsylvania, frankly. but once again, liberals like levine and her boss, it's, you know, it's good for the same old hypocrisy. the rules are for thee, but not for me. while the little people have to suffer another bad decision, the connection the powerful always have an escape path, and that's what happened there. and swear on the fraud patrol, we have to point out illinois' own state health director who at a recent press conference just casually admitted this. >> if you were in hospice and had already been given, you know, a few weeks to live, and then you also were found to have

covid, that would be counted as a covid death, even if you died of clear alternate cause, but you had covid at the same time, it still lifte listed as a cov death. >> laura: okay. at the cdc, the state health offices in these blue states, no wonder the president doesn't trust their numbers. and by the way, whatever happened to one of the worst flu seasons on record? wire those numbers not tabulated and actually segregated out, not lumped in altogether in some cases with the covid that's? that brings us to our tyrants, and for this category we stayed illinois because billy billionaire governor j.b. pritzker apparently thinks that he can save the people of his state by threatening them. especially in counties that decide to go their own way and get back to work. >> the state already provides a lot of support for cities and counties. and so i would just suggest there are a number of enforcement mechanisms that are available to us.

and i don't want to utilize those. >> laura: i'm sure he doesn't. maybe he will invite all the unemployed in his state to live in his new $50 million caribbean getaway. i will wait for that. but what would a rundown of, let's say, gubernatorial tyrants be, where would they be without washington state's jay inslee? he's decided to take cues from china by empowering an army of government contact tracers to monitor you. i mean assist you, if you get sick. and if you resist, don't worry, the government will make sure you have zero reasons to leave home. >> if they can't get a friend to do their grocery shopping, we will help get them groceries in some fashion. if they need pharmaceuticals to be picked up, we can help make sure that they get there pharmaceuticals. >> laura: isn't that reassuring? and finally we saved the least appealing for last. michigan's gretchen witless

witmer. how to persuade your students to support this economy crushing shutdown? attack the first amendment rights and call them bigots. >> certainly not an exercise of democratic principles where we have free speech. this is calls to violence. this is racist and misogynisti misogynistic-based protests and perverse way make it likely that we're going to have to stay in a stay home posture. >> laura: are you just clambering to have her heartbeat away from the presidency? or maybe as your attorney general, won't that be a fun world to live in? now, any of these blue states control freaks, well, all of them, they need to keep away from our children and away from our businesses. heck, i don't want them near my dogs at this point given what they've been saying and doing. it's long past time for the shutdown to end, period.

joining me now as dan bongino, fox news contributor, host of the dan bongino show, also chris hahn, former aide to chuck schumer and host of the progressive progressive -- aggressive progressive podcast. go ahead, defend the tyrants. >> the governor's just trying to do with the cdc and others recommend. if people are sick, they should stay home and the state is going to assist them in getting what they need if they can't get it for themselves. why did that make him a tyrant? that makes him a leader trying to control this virus. with got to stop making this a partisan issue. this impacts all of us and i don't understand why the right feels that government officials trying to do the right thing and keep the citizens healthy if somehow evil or bad. look, i want to be out of this is much as anybody else does, but the quicker we -- the more we isolate people who have the virus, the quicker it's going to pass. >> laura: what happens in washington state, chris? we will ask dan this, what happens in washington state if

someone resists maybe they tested positive ten days ago but they walked out of their house to go get the mail or are wearing a mask and still want to get the mail and they violated some new norm in the new normal? >> well, that's with the uselessness of mass testing outside of limited scenarios is. this is not like tuberculosis where if you avoid high-risk behaviors you get a negative test, you're generally free and clear. you could walk out of your house 5 minutes later after a negative test, touch your mailbox and someone sneezed on it and come down sadly with the coronavirus. but what chris said there is quite absurd. this is a hallmark of liberal thinking, sadly. first order of thinking. it's not any kind of a deep analysis. they say things like -- and they appeal to your emotions, they think you're stupid. they say the governor is just keeping you safe. how is that exactly? by straining the food supply, by bankrupting hospitals, by

avoiding medical procedures and scaring people to death. we've seen cancer diagnoses go down dramatically. does chris think that's because cancer has left the planet and gone to mars? that's because people have cancer are going to the doctor. but chris doesn't think about that. and one more thing, chris is a lawyer -- >> i've got a question, dan. >> the constitution does not take a break and it's not on vacation. >> laura: go ahead, respond. >> i agree with that last point about the constitution but if testing is such a bad thing, why is the present -- >> i did not say that. i did not say that. [inaudible] >> laura: okay, guys. >> pipe down, dan. >> i did not say that. >> that's what you said. >> laura: hold on. hold on. basta, basta, basta. >> chris is lying and he does this all the time peered i did not say testing was a bad thing.

i said universal testing outside of his limited circumstances is not the answer. that's not what i said. >> laura: yet. >> right around him but not for the rest of us. just want to make sure that's what you're saying, it's only good in the limited situations that protect your body donald trump, but not me and my family. >> you really are humiliating yourself on national television. >> laura: guys. okay, guys, guys, hold on. i think even some people pretty high up in the health establishment have said that there also limits to testing, right, because you could test some person one day and then maybe they don't get tested for a week, right? so all i'm saying -- it's all i'm saying. fauci has had there are limits to the vaccine because it might not -- they won't be 100% effective, we might need multiple vaccines. he also said it's not going to be ready by the fall and then today they said the virus is going to be here forever. so at some point we just have to go want to live our lives. i just have to ask quick, quick,

chris, about garcetti essentially saying we're not going to open up anytime soon. yeah, we will go to the sound bite, when the city could finally reopen, this is what he said. >> it is as dangerous today as it was the first day that it arrived in our cities and our countries, so quite frankly, there's no so-called open state or open country that doesn't continue to have health orders. we've never been fully closed, we will never be completely open until we have a cure. >> laura: dan, not opening, really opening anytime soon. how is that freedom? >> or member the sequel to escape from new york, the dreadful escape from l.a.? is going to make a return here. i don't know what garcetti is doing, is he trying to drive people out of the state? you can go on the beach i guess and run, but you can't stop and actually lay down, like i forbid, we are just in goofy time now. >> weight, two points, escape from l.a. was an excellent mov

movie -- >> it was horrible. >> laura: quick. quick. >> second point, if the president had stopped this at the source like other presidents have with other pandemics, we wouldn't be in this mess at all. >> laura: dan, hold on. what i'm going to say at the end of this is if you think joe biden, seeing him would have handled this any better, you've got to be kidding me, the man doesn't know what zip code is in. you know that. biden was right at the pole. [inaudible] >> laura: right. biden was at girl scout pinning ceremony is one that was happening, but thanks. coming up -- got to go. coming up, all joe biden, tries reaching out to the young ins and doesn't go well. raymond arroyo is here next

as a doctor, i agree with cdc guidance. i recommend topical pain relievers first... like salonpas patch large. it's powerful, fda-approved to relieve moderate pain, yet non-addictive and gentle on the body. salonpas. it's good medicine. hisamitsu.

>> laura: time for are seen and unseen segment. we expose the big cultural stories of the day, course training with all the details, raymond arroyo, fox news contributor. raymond, the biden campaign, they are restricting old joe to mostly local interviews, but he doesn't seem to be faring too well. >> no, he isn't, laura, but it's clear the campaign is trying to contain the gaps and protect their punchy candidate. biden was asked the other day during one of these interviews if he was concerned about people calling him creepy or sleepy joe online. then they questioned his stamina. he answered this way. >> the vast majorities of voters

out there that have voted, including young people, are not getting all their news from the internet. but i'm trying to compete there. we're getting started late in a comparative sense. look at all these young people now for getting out of high school, they're doing part-time jobs. their driving. i think it's just important to speak to that. and in terms of energy, i'm -- i don't have any problem comparing manager level to donald trump. [laughter] >> he was right the first time, i fear. he doesn't have any energy. it's gotten so bad. the biden campaign now limits biden to seven minute interviews. look, this is like speed dating. last week one of his staffers audibly cut in on a poor local florida reporter saying, great, last question, your time is up. last question. they did the same thing the other night when text flashed on the screen from the campaign.

it was a warning that the time was up. biden's time will be up if they continue this, laura. >> laura: i love he says the kids are getting their news from that thing called the internet, they're out there driving ubers. i guess some of them are. >> the moment young people start paying attention and come out of quarantine, this is not going to look good from the biden camp's perspective. we learned a lot during this virtual senate covid hearing the other day, which took us into the homes of those making our health care in washington. you might call this lifestyles of the glitching and aimless. dr. robert redfield of the cdc appeared before a turquoise backdrop at his home. it looked like andy's room from toy story. it's got a kind of -- kind of a young -- you look -- perhaps an underwater theme. then dr. fauci appeared. via an aerial camera from his house. was the shot from one of those

social distancing drones that are following us in the neighborhoods? it captured someone in the background. if you look closely, i couldn't tell if that was sally quinn or brad pitt taking notes, one of the two. and then your favorite was there. >> laura: let me just say, this was odd though because he knows he's going to be testifying, raymond. and i mean with all due respect to all of them, if you don't know where the camera is on your computer, why should we trust our entire health care policy to you? i love chairman alexander though situated himself screen left so his dog rufus and that log cabin office could be prominently seen. that was nice. what happened there? >> at one point he started to fall off the frame completely, laura. rufus should have been operating the camera, it might appear in a better but my favorite shot of the day was senator tim kaine, who appeared to be freshly returned to the capital following a train robbery. he had that mask on, all he

needed was a six iron. it was quite disturbing. you see him there, it looks like he's holding everybody up. >> laura: got to get him one of those little cap guns on those tassels. the tassel gloves. the little cowboy office. raymond, there was a huge dustup the other night over the price is right and prime time? acrimony is even reaching the price is right, what's happening? >> it started innocently enough, rupaul showed up to raise money for charity. >> going to play alongside the contestants and whatever you win and the rest of the contestants win emma we are going to match and give to a special charity. what's the charity? >> well, i am playing for planned parenthood, which provides vital and often -- services to both men and women. >> $266 for planned parenthood. >> as you can imagine, laura, viewers thought the price was wrong. plan parent longtime viewers wee

horrified. one viewer tweeted watching tonight's episode giving away $97,000 to planned parenthood, you've got to be kidding me. you've lost a lifelong fan. laura, you know -- people look to these shows to bring us together, particularly during this pandemic. it's a commonplace for people. for the price is right to politicize a game show and divide people, this is a showcase showdown nobody asked for. >> laura: showcase showdown, you've got the lingo in, raymond arroyo, as i knew you would. all right, do you know how much a price of raid hornet spray is? right now -- coming up -- killer asian hornets. if you thought the obama administration's abuse would stop at flynn, you're wrong. no details about what marie yovanovitch new about hunter biden and burisma. john solomon and commerce ben lee zeldin have exclusive for us and just moments.

♪ >> these are patriots, the people like marie yovanovitch -- hers and honorable patriotic american. she rest everything. had nothing to gain. >> she's been a real hero to her colleagues. >> ambassador marie yovanovitch, our hero. >> laura: new document suggest that impeachment darling marie yovanovitch wasn't complete leonidas with congress when it came to hunter biden and burisma. joining me now with the exclusive details as john solomon, journalist and fox news contributor along with new york congressman lee zeldin. john, while ambassador yovanovitch, ambassador to the ukraine, claimed otherwise -- she claimed she knew more about burisma then she let on. tell us.

>> absolutely, because of his questioning for this is what we know where she testified everything should know about burisma and hunter brighton -- from press reports. congressman kept -- only know about press reports, she said yeah, that's all i remembered. it turns out she had meetings directly with burisma representatives. she received letters, detailed letters from burisma representatives it detailing their efforts to get out from under a criminal investigation before donald trump became president. she didn't mention any of those and there's only two good options here, right? won a sheep also testified knowing that she had this context. the second to she didn't review her documents before she testified and it was a proceeding where we were removing the president of united states possibly. not a good situation for the hero of the hearings. >> laura: now, here's what she told congress about the optics of hunter biden's job at burisma. >> was that ever, you know, a concern, or at least the perception of that concern

addressed? >> as i said, i arrived in august of 2016. several months before the election and several months before president trump took office. and it was not a focus of what i was doing in that six month period. >> laura: congressman, these new documents so that she sent 150 pages worth of emails about burisma. >> she was full of it. and this is a woman who was highly regarded as an intelligent woman. she's a princeton-educated -- she someone who i don't believe actually didn't recall, didn't remember, when i was pressing her for additional information beyond the press reports, what else did she know about burisma? and all we could get back is i don't recall, i just don't buy that. i think we are essentially seeing is a whitewashing attempt from that moment she arrived in august of 201621 vice president biden goes to ukraine in january of 2017. as john solomon, citizens united

produced all of these different documents between emails, meetings, discussions, there's just no way that she showed up at that impeachment deposition under oath actually not remembering any of this. >> laura: john, wasn't this important than that the elites in the media, msnbc, the folks at abc and cnn, i mean, they lionized marie yovanovitch. she should have been up on rushmore at the end of what they were saying. it was like colonel vindman, lieutenant colonel benjamin and maria bonaventure and all the other cast and characters who were clearly very displeased with president trump at the bottom of all of this. >> listen, right now they're building in amount, mount schiff, there's going to be like christopher steele and marie yovanovitch on the mountain. what we have our group of witnesses who gave us a false narrative and it takes months after adam schiff presents his additives for we and the meter to get the truth to dig it out.

everything about the schiff show is falling apart, whether it's russia or ukraine. i expect a lot of big revelations coming up in ukraine in the next few weeks. senator ron johnson tonight announced it's going to issue a subpoena to the very group that met with her to talk about burisma in december of 2016. that's a major new development. >> laura: it's hard sometimes for regular folks out there, congressman, to keep this venn diagram of, you know, lies, deception, and unfair persecution of people that has taken place over the last really four or five years, we are now beginning to see it. we are now beginning to see it. >> yeah, americans are seeing the double standard. they know that if marie yovanovitch was there to remove president barack obama from office, that you would have many of these same mainstream media outlets calling for there to be a perjury investigation into her, but instead they will fact-check all of this and claim that nothing that she said was dishonest, protecting clapper

and we are seeing with power and others others and schiff was mentioned -- exactly. >> laura: we would have journalist, gentleman, who actually dug other than john solomon and a few others. gentlemen, thank you, up next, big breaking news involving a u.s. senator. to give back to younger people. i think most adults will start realizing that they don't recall things as quickly as they used to or they don't remember things as vividly as they once did. i've been taking prevagen for about three years now. people say to me periodically, "man, you've got a memory like an elephant." it's really, really helped me tremendously. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

>> laura: fox news has not confirmed this, but many reports that the fbi seized richard burr's cell phone after searching his home. part of the doj investigation into the g.o.p. senators massive

stock sell-off that happened in february after a closed-door briefing on covid before the market collapse. serving a warrant to more important things, senator wyden would not have that approved if the attorney general had not okayed that. that is a big, big deal. a lot of implications for control of the senate. shannon bream and the "fox news @ night" team take it from here. that was a mouthful to try to get in. >> shannon: you did it. and we have an update in just a few minutes. thank you, laura. >> laura: i will be watching. >> shannon: breaking tonight, michael flynn answering questions of whether he perjured himself. by withdrawing his guilty plea after pleading guilty. the federal judge overseeing the case has called a retired judge to brief him on why that should not happen. and as that retired judge figuring whether flynn should ce
