"fox & friends" starts right now. >> u.s. attorney in delaware constantly hamstrung by doj officials. >> joseph ziegler whistleblower x testifying about two men under scrutiny, president biden and hunter biden. >> the special counsel is necessary for this investigation. >> i'm not running to be somebody. i'm running to do something. >> ron desantis and wife casey vowing to protect parental rights in school in "fox & friends" exclusive interview. >> we are going to fight for your family and our family and america going forward. >> illinois planned to end cash bail. the new law gets rid of cash

bail entirely. it's going to make crime worse. >> you are taking away the motivation for officers to catch criminals to show that there's consequences for action. >> historic flooding disseminated kentucky. >> flash flooding swept buildings off their foundation and put entire towns under water. rescue crews race against the clock to reach the hardest hit areas. >> 7, 13, 10, 24, 11. your powerball number is 24. one lucky person wins the $1 billion powerball jackpot. >> powerball's third largest prize in the game's history. >> ainsley: we begin with a stunning prediction from house oversight committee chairman james comer who expects to uncover even more wire transfers from foreign sources to biden family members. >> brian: all right. this comes after the explosive testimony from two irs whistleblowers. it was riveting. one says the biden family and

associates may have received more than $17 million from overseas. >> steve: that's a big number. lucas tomlinson is live in our nation's capital with the very latest. it kicked off in the afternoon and kept going and going and hard not to watch. >> six hours completely, steve. good morning, steve, ainsley and brian. known only previously as whistleblower x now he has a name. says hunter biden raked in millions of dollars while his father was vice president. here is more from the house oversight committee chairman. >> no one can explain one simple thing the bidens did to receive those payments. now, that's just to the president's son from three countries. there are many more countries where we are just now getting the bank records. in we are fixing to announce more wires from more countries. >> comer says hunter biden received $17 million from foreign sources when his father was vice president. the second whistleblower, joseph ziegler, known referral as

whistleblower x, identified himself and came out for the first time. >> i kind of equate this to the experience and feelings i encountered when coming out. it was honestly one of the hardest things i ever had to go through. i implore you to consider if you were in my position with the facts as i have stated them, ask yourself if you would be doing the exact same thing. >> gary shapley, the irs supervisor who first came forward says he was blocked from pursuing the hunter biden case further. >> the investigators are not allowed to follow up on whatsapp messages from apple back up where he suggested he was sitting next to his father. prosecutors instructed investigators not to ask about the big guy or dad when conducting interviews. >> democrats claim the six hour hearing was all an effort to obstruct from former president donald trump and no smoking gun was discovered. >> we can conclude that this inspect clouseau style quest for something that doesn't exist

turned futility of absurd. >> seems to be a new level of hypocrisy here. >> we are here today because donald trump is exerting an influence campaign. >> i know the american people are confused because we're all confused what we're doing here. nothing this majority harass claimed about the president or his family have merit. >> hearing also included lewd pictures of hunter biden in full grant at a marjorie taylor greene claims was really a prostitute, guys. >> steve: that was kind of shocking. i know that democrats were on -- were a little shocked as well. any repercussions for her for doing that because if people were watching on tv it was like, whoa, there are naked people. >> right she did have the disclaimer beforehand certainly the photos she raised were spread all over the internet and certainly some of our network as

well. >> steve: yeah, it was something. >> brian: all right, lucas, thanks. so many revelations but nobody could touch a glove to their credibility. so they decided to distract. i mean, some of the things they tried to do immediately there is always a constant battle between investigators who think they have got this great case and prosecutors who think more reality-based that didn't get any traction at all. because these guys were buttoned up. they lived this case for five years. they get into details. irs agents by definition are guys or women that know numbers back and forth and they know when they have been stopped. when you hear that hunter was tipped off about the search, you heard it from them. when you heard that they're flat out at odds with weiss, who said he had free reign, they said he did not and told them he did not have free reign, which leads you to believe that garland is lying or weiss is lying or they are lying. i find it hard to believe that two men poring over the books are lying. ziegler said any time we wanted

to go down the road we were told when it came to the dad we would have to get too many approvals so forget about it. hunter went to great lengths not to pay any taxes on something that's very flagrant a salary that gave him 80,000 a month. we was writing off sex clubs and golf clubs and hotel rooms for his drug dealers. you didn't hear it as hearsay. you didn't hear it from come member. you didn't hear it from jordan. you heard it from the men studying it. when he came out and said by the way, i'm a democrat. by the way i'm married to a guy, and i -- the last month since i have come out has been hellacious because no one is talking to me. i have no idea. every no cases to deal with the same thing with shapley it said a month earlier. >> i have been told i'm credible because i'm a democrat, because i'm married to anna i will tell you i'm credible i'm credible because of my experience. i have a lot of experience in investigating foreign transactions and fraud and people who aren't paying their taxes. he said i'm compelled to tell

the truth even though i'm risking my career and reputation and existing case work. he said no one should be above the law even those with particular political affiliations that's what we learned from these two whistleblowers. special treatment for the bidens above the law and can do anything and the doj will have their back. >> steve: that's what it comes down to, it looks like the irs is going to hire 20,000 more employees over the next two years i hope they are all like these guys. they are. >> ainsley: outstanding. >> steve: straight out of central casting. they were unwavering in the fact that they said hunter biden simply going got a presidential deal they thought everybody was on the same page. they realized they were stymied and slow walked by public officials during trump and also biden administrations and if you look at the cover of the "new york post" today, the headline

is don't question the bidens. and what that talks about is how out of the baltimore office in delaware as well assistant u.s. attorney by the name of leslie wolf, this was after the election. after 2020, and joe biden joe biden had won and they were going through an email. big guy. i don't want anybody talking about the dad. clearly. clearly they knew the dad was involved. when you listen to congressman dan goldman yesterday, he was able to -- and i don't know if it was intentional, maybe it was inadvertent, but he connected joe biden knew about his son's business dealings. watch this. >> you describe a lunch where we talked about earlier where joe biden came to say hello at the four seasons hotel to a lunch

that he was having with cefc executives, right? >> that's correct. >> 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. now, let me ask you something. that doesn't sound much 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 and he was talking to his father about the business. >> try to do business. >> steve: ah ha. >> brian: this shows they don't listen to our channel. they don't follow any questions. he stumbled right into a major story without realizing it. because joe biden said repeatedly many different times i know nothing about my son's overseas business dealings. not even the question are you involved in benefiting from them. he says i don't ever talk to him

about it. and dan goldman saying that and then him saying letting me finish afterwards to further define what he said and going back to james comer to do it i think really knocked it home. it's like you can't pretend it's your son -- you don't talk to your son about these billings dealings whether you have business people like tony bobulinski saying he was benefiting from them. and you also heard reference to the big guy from the irs agents. now what you need is rob walker and devon archer, the business people, to tell us exactly who benefited and where is the money? right now it's at 17 million. they are not paying taxes on anything and let alone 17 million and that number is going to grow. >> ainsley: our country is just in a state -- in a place that is shocking to all of us that if you are a democrat you can get away with all of this. just like in other countries if you have power you can do whatever you want and no one will question. that is happening in our country right now, the democrats. they are getting away with

anything. if they are investigated then they shut down the investigation because they don't want to mess with the big guy. >> steve: sure. >> ainsley: they don't want to investigate the president as or at the time the vice president's son. >> brian: you just actually brought up a great point. they wanted access to the laptop. while we were debating and finding out that the laptop wasn't real, we all knew it was real. buff they were telling us it wasn't real. the irs is like we need access to it. they all knew it was real. the fbi knew it was real. >> ainsley: it's just a double standard. >> brian: the irs knew it was real. in the social media world they were destroying and freezing and suspending accounts that's saying it's real. when they went to say i need to geo locate president biden to see if he is next to his son. don't touch anything on the laptop. really? don't touch anything on the laptop? we're told -- we are in two realities. our reality is the laptop not real they want us to believe and the rest of the media does believe it. in their reality they are trying to get do it to investigate it. >> steve: ultimately, it was great to hear from those two guys but we need to hear from

some of these other people who know the answers. we need to hear -- and we were talking about this a couple of weeks ago. put them all in the same room say okay the whistleblowers say this. david weiss, what do you say? you know, leslie wolf, what do you say as well? because i'm sure that the department of justice is going well, brian, you dumped on this a little bit. prosecutorial discretion. the decider gets to decide what the charges are. it's not up to the investigators. or is it because of the approximate location to the election? were there political sensitivities? we don't know. it just. >> brian: we don't know? i think we know. >> steve: we don't know. we just know it looks like hunter biden got a sweetheart deal and we need to know why. that's why one of the guys we have got coming up very shortly is tristan leavitt, he is an attorney for the whistleblower the lead guy, gary shapely is going to be coming up in the next hour of "fox & friends" so stick around. >> ainsley: also going to show you the double standard how trump is treated and how the

biden family is treated. >> steve: meanwhile, let's talk a little bit about how america is being treated by mother nature a fox weather alert. >> severe summer weather is not letting up state of emergency declared after flash floods have left parts of kentucky as you can see right there flooded out and all rump peld. we have a live report on the ground coming up. >> ainsley: plus we have a "fox & friends" exclusive we sat down with ron and casey desantis in tallahassee, california talking about 2024 plus we find out how they met. >> i was out at a golf driving range. i needed to work on my swing i was hooking and shanking. >> i see her looking over her shoulder, i thought she was looking at me and kind of the rest is history. >> ainsley: that's coming up in a big show straight ahead. >> steve: excellent. ♪ i ain't going to waste one breath

♪ >> steve: all right. yesterday ainsley did some globe trotting. she flew from new york to florida after the program for

exclusive interview with the governor of florida and presidential candidate ron desantis and the first lady of the state of florida casey. >> ashley: yes. we had a chance to sit down with them at the governor's mansion and talk about their story, their struggles, their values and what they hope to accomplish on the campaign trail and we met their children. take a look. >> governor, first lady, thank you so much for sitting down with "fox & friends." we're excited to talk to y'all. >> welcome back to tallahassee. >> ainsley: thank you, it's good to be back. tell us about you and how you met. >> how we met do you want his version or my version of how we met? >> ainsley: both. >> so i grew up in ohio, actually, in troy, very blue collared, manufacturing town. and after i graduated from high school, i realized you can go south. it's wawarmer south. i had gone to college at the college of charleston and after that went to jacksonville. working television. i did a report here and there i produced. i ended up getting to be an

anchor which was pretty neat. one day while i was in jacksonville i was out at a golf driving range. i have needed to work on my swing it was pretty awful. i was hooking and shanking all over the place. i had noticed behind me somebody had left a half full bucket of balls and the other side of those ball was this guy. >> i was lieutenant stationed in nay port. i happened to pop out to this range one day. i'm sitting there hitting. she is there. i see her looking over her shoulder. i thought she was looking at me. >> ainsley: she was looking at you of course you did. >> so i saw the balls there but i kind of used the balls as an excuse to start the conversation and so we did. >> and then we got talking and basically the rest is history. we met over literally a bucket of balls and a beer at a driving range in northeast florida. our son and daughter are getting into golf which is cool to see because that's how mom and dad met. >> what does the day in the life of desantis look like. >> no two days are the same.

our kids are on summer vacation so they are not in school. my son did baseball camp. we did tennis camp with the girls. at the end of the day it's a team effort. we bring them with us on the campaign trail as much as we can we just want to spend as much family time as possible. >> ainsley: how did you decide as a couple that it was time now to run for president of the united states? >> so i would say starting in november of 2020, the number one thing i would get on the street is 2024. our view is are you the one to beat biden and actually deliver on this stuff over an 8-year period to serve two terms? and we came to the conclusion that we were the ones to do it and to get it done. and so, you know, there's no looking back. >> we both have this calling and you probably know my story, right? about a year and a half ago, i didn't know whether i was going to see my kids graduate from kindergarten. >> ashley: so october 2021 you are diagnosed with breast cancer. today you are cancer free by the grace of god.

thank goodness. walk me through that day when you heard those words from your doctor and what happened after that. >> anybody will say with a cancer diagnosis when you start hearing those words it's not definitive right out of the gate. it is we see something that is problematic and really hard part for me was that i had a 4, a 3-year-old and a 1-year-old in the house. and it's like very, very difficult when you look at your children and they don't know. ainsley to this day they still don't know. they have no idea what momma went through. as a matter of fact when i was going through six rounds of chemotherapy, six weeks of radiation and three surgeries, couldn't really use my left arm. a lot of times so i told them i was like i hurt my arm because i didn't want to tell them. through god's grace i'm here. and this guy -- this guy helped me more than you will ever realize. >> we got a lot of outpouring of support once we made it public. people were pray for her. >> ainsley: i remember the

video, too or the ad that you put out that was so touching. you said who is ron desantis? >> he was a dad that took carol of my children when i couldn't. he was there to fight for me when i didn't have the strength to fight for myself. you know, you just want to tell it from the heart. and i felt the need to do that because i was so tired of all of the hits he was taking. all of these false accusations about his character. >> ainsley: you have taken some hits, too. >> for many she is the brighter side to florida's angry governor. for others she has become american's karen. >> ainsley: the jackie wannabe and the walmart melania. >> one thing did get right about me i do shop at walmart. when they come after you and just calling you names, that means they don't want to lit gate the merits of their case. they don't want to have that conversation. they want to call you names and try to get to you back down i can tell you the number one thing we will not back down when it comes to our family.

>> ainsley: casey house would you describe your husband. >> i would describe him the love of my wife father of my 6, 5, and 3-year-old and the fighter to turn this country around. i make the assumption that people know who he is there are truths that they don't know that he served in the united states navy beings, that he was a jag officer and defloyd iraq 2007. the troops teenage mutant ninja turtle surge on the ground got the bronze store for ameritoreous service. he saw 9/11 answered wanted to give back to the country that had given him so much and that is why he decided to serve in the united states military. it says a lot about who he is and i think it says a lot about how he views the country. >> ainsley: governor, they say she is the secret sauce. is this true? is she your best asset? >> i think at the end of the day she is just a very genuine person. she really believes in this country. she really cares about the country's future because of our three young kids 6, 5, and 3. when she does things like rally mothers like she did throughout

the state of florida and grandmothers since it is florida we want to include them. and now she is doing it throughout the country. it's because a lot of the issues that these parents are facing we're facing. we are in the same boat. we are very sympathetic to that. so she is somebody that is very, very strong on the rights of parents and the well-being of children. >> we feel that if we can do something to be able to change the trajectory and, indeed, preserve our american republic and we can take one for the team by getting hit on behalf of the people of this country, we're going do it. we're going to fight for your family. we're going to fight for our family and we are going to fight for america going forward. >> steve: that was great. you know, they bring out the best in each other. and when you watch them together, they are a great team. >> brian: the decision for them to go and do this with young kids is really a big decision, right? because now they are on the road constantly. those kids are, you know, little kids aren't like okay, i will

wait here until you are done. they want to be right away i thought -- >> ainsley: they say they feel like it's easier to be a political family when the kids are little because they can take them with them everywhere they go. the two older ones are in school. they say they moved from pond vedra into the governor's mansion in tallahassee three hours away. do you keep your house there do you go back and forth on the weekends. no it's too much. three hour car ride. we pay for that the state doesn't pay for that it's too much to go back and forth. the kids are little. we just take them with us and pack up and go. they said the kids don't read any of the negative stuff because they are too little, obviously, to do it. sometimes with these politicians when you have teenage kids it's actually harder on them they said. >> steve: that makes sense. >> ainsley: she really is an asset to him. when she started talking about his record, you could tell she is -- she is smart. she is a go-getter. she had her own career. she gave all of that up to follow him and to raise the children. he went to yale. he went to harvard law school.

he served our country in the navy. he was a congressman, a governor and now a presidential candidate at a very young age. >> steve: all right. >> we know a lot more about the family than we did about 8 minutes ago. that was great thanks for making the big trim. >> ainsley: i'm so glad they allowed us to do it. thank you to casey and ron for opening up your home and learning more about you. >> steve: it is 27 minutes now after the top of the hour. carley joins us. >> carley: good job on that, ainsley. glad to see the family. the kids are so cute, too. >> they could be baby models. >> ainsley: and the little one maime, she runs the house. she has these big gorgeous blue eyes. >> carley: as she should. got news to get to here. the wife of the second gilgo beach killer rex filed for divorce. spotted for the first time since her arrest last week. heuermann pleaded not guilty to the murder of three women whose bodies were found back in 2010 on long island. is he also the prime suspect of the killing of a fourth victim.

for. thankfully, no serious injuries there it's not just this facility. we are talking about neighborhoods all throughout nash county, including the great glen area where at least a dozen homes we're seeing have substantial damage. over in kentucky, another story. a state of emergency for graves county, catastrophic flooding there after 10 inches of rain fell in a matter of hours over mayfield, kentucky. the same town that was disseminated by ef-4 tornado just over a year or two ago, brian. you can imagine a lot of people across the heartland hurting today. >> brian: absolutely. thanks so much for that update. we will follow it. check in with janice dean following all of this for the fox weather forecast. janice? >> janice: we expect more heavy rain and poo fennel for severe weather today. incredible damage in north carolina. look at a new kentucky state 24 hour rain record. close to a foot of rain in

mayfield we're topping almost the wettest day on record for the state of kentucky in and around the paducah area. this area of flooding is on top of a devastating ef-4 tornado that happened less than two years ago. so there's the potential for showers and thunderstorms across the plain states, the ohio and tennessee river valley today, the mid south. we are expecting the potential for some of these super cells to develop not only bringing the risk for hail, damaging winds and isolated tornadoes but heavy rain and pushing across the northeast which of course is already saturated. a lot of weather to cover. here is the rainfall forecast for parts of tennessee and kentucky. more to come. and then, of course, the heat. the heat is a huge story which we'll also cover as we head into the weekend. all right, steve, i'm going to toss it back to you fox weather.com for all of your latest details. >> steve: thank you very much, j.d. >> janice: you got it. >> steve: let's talk about chicago. as if crime wasn't already out of control in chicago criminals could be set free now on a dime thanks to the end of cash bail in just two months.

actually less than it, zero. our next guest is a city-based reporter who says the court ruling will give some of the city's most dangerous criminals a free pass. william j. kelly joins us once again this morning from chicago. william, good morning to you. >> god bless you, steve. thank you for having me. >> steve: so here's the problem. what it does is it takes away the discretion of a judge, a judge might think you know what? that guy has robbed that place 175 times. he's going to jail. nope. no cash bail. he's out. >> it's worse than that you know, chicago has fallen. it's i hate to say it i was born and raised on the south side of chicago. chicago is officially a no-go zone. brandon johnson, our new mayor, when he was asked what his plan to fight crime was, he said give me money. give me money. give me investment. now we have this safety act, right, which lets the most violent repeat offenders back

out on the street no monitoring, nothing. and who is going to testify? who is going to go and testify in a criminal -- in a violent crime case if the person who is the defendant who just killed your son or daughter is literally standing on the sidewalk in front of your house before the blood has dried on the sidewalk, steve. >> no kidding, the governor of the state you are sitting in j.d. pritzker said this in part. i am pleased that the illinois supreme court has upheld the constitutionality of the safety act and the elimination of cash bail. we can now move forward with historic reform to ensure pre-trial detainment is determined by the danger an individual poses to the community instead of by their ability to pay their way out of jail. you know, you got to wonder, william. doesn't the governor have a tv in the governor's mansion? because you can see, for

instance here in new york state where they got rid of that for the most part, they are now trying to put the genie back in the bottle because it has been a disaster, this no-cash bail. >> well, what about the rights of the victims. you know, it's not just chicago. you know, as chicago goes so goes the midwest. this is a woke blueprint for the rest of the country. make no mistake about it. this is coming to a city near you. >> steve: well, it's tough. let's see what happens because car this effort, what did i just read up 126. >> 95%. >> steve: 126. why bother buying a car. william, thank you very much for keeping us posted on what is going on there in the windy city. >> thanks, steve. god bless you. >> steve: god bless you. coming up on this thursday former president donald trump and hunter biden it legal troubles this week we will dive into how each were treated. you know what?sn't it doesn't look too equal. ♪ 're promises.

>> ainsley: it's a big news week for both former president trump and hunter biden. trump announcing a possible third indictment. this time over january 6th. and hunter's legal troubles making their way to capitol hill once again. >> brian: all right. let's examine the double standard, ainsley. >> ainsley: okay, go to your

side. >> brian: the many investigations that goes on. for example, donald trump, i don't know if you heard, mar-a-lago, they decided they are going to go in and continue to ask and continue to search and then going to just take stuff. and then in june of 2023, you remember, a former fbi agent testifies the department of justice pushed for a search warrant and a raid. a lot of the fbi in the area did not know anything about it. but a federal government did. the department of justice got the fbi involved in politics and it involves that man, a little different for you. >> ainsley: yeah, a lot different, because at the beginning of 2020 early on, irs is ready they are ready to go do this search warrant. they are going to go to joe biden's house in delaware. they are going to search his guest house because that's where his son hunter lives. they get this search warrant. they almost have it approved. then joe biden becomes the democratic nominee for president. and then the doj starts slow-walking this according to the whistleblowers yesterday. the process to get those warrant approved. then in september 2020, top official at the delaware u.s. attorney offers slows down this irs investigation, no warrants, no searches, they say, and the

reason is optics. listen to the whistleblower, this is mr. shapley yesterday. >> generally, any other investigation, if we have probable cause and we believe there is evidence in that location that could prove -- help prove our violations, then we would execute that search warrant. >> so, it was an unusual action? >> yes. >> brian: yeah. i would say. so he was unbelievably credible. all right. let's move ahead and let's talk about the special counsel and how they are handling donald trump. let's look at the problem he has got. he has got a problem in new york and georgia and with january 6th. and he has got a problem with the documents. so the special counsel has interviewed dozens of witnesses in the investigations and they don't stop. if you work for trump, touch trump, you were going to sit down and talk about trump. and then the witnesses include trump family members. jared kushner last week come and talk to us ivanka as well. a lot of people think that's overstepping, especially when you compare it to the bidens. >> ainsley: shapley yesterday says the doj limited to the

investigators, who was in there in their community could interview the biden family, hunter biden, the fbi tips off hunter biden's lawyers. and they say secret -- they tell secret service and the lawyers they say there's going to be a surprise unannounced interview with him tomorrow. investigators are told you can't ask certain questions to joe biden during these witness introduce. and the two whistleblowers said that they were not allowed to ask follow-ups. listen. >> the u.s. attorney in delaware in our investigation was constantly hamstrung, limited and marginalized by doj officials. >> prosecutors instructed investigators not to ask about the big guy or dad when conducted interviews. >> brian: so don't talk about dad. don't go to the storage locker. let's take a look at how the lawyers were handling it with trump as opposed to hunter biden and joe biden tangentially. the lawyer, evan corcoran was told not only are you representing donald trump and what's going to be a challenge, we are going to make you a

witness and we want you to bring all your notes with you. and you are going to have more than one interview. tell us everything your client told you because we think you are involved. really? that almost never happens. and then they are not given any warning on the mar-a-lago raid. remember, they went. in donald trump in new jersey at bedminster and finding out they are raiding his place. the whole neighborhood is on fire and you see the guards in front. they took everything. they even went to the sock drawer of melania and into the room of barron. a little different, ainsley for the bidens. >> ainsley: you say drawer different than i do. >> brian: difference in country. >> ainsley: agent testified that hunter's lawyer was given the opportunity to intercept the irs investigation. that was in deals of 2020. on the day that hunter was supposed to be interviewed, shapley was told that he had to first go through hunter's lawyer. the lawyer, of course declined the interview. and biden's attorneys were alerted to this storage unit that investigators were planning to search.

it didn't make any sense, they say. they were just trying to collect some information, some evidence, and they weren't allowed to. listen. >> i would agree investigative steps by doj never seen in my 14 years and honestly makes no sense. we wouldn't want to collect all of the evidence available. >> brian: so it makes no sense a little bit different. what about donald trump when it comes to his reputation as a former president as opposed to the bidens vice president aspiring president? the department of justice says they are not politically motivated in going after him from january 6th. the documents. alvin bragg's ridiculous charges here from 10 years ago that are supposed to be a federal case and new york case. the georgia d.a. that continues to drag their feet when it comes to what's happening with the so-called go find me x amounts of votes and the phone call. we still don't know what is going on. jack smith is poring all over the january 6th store story. >> the elector story and what

happened since the election leading up to the inauguration. overall, investigating the -- investigating donald trump while he leads the republican side to get the nomination. so it's -- they are actually investigating full bore multiple investigations at the same time he is running for president of the united states. we'll see what it means as it relates to the trial, ainsley. >> ainsley: interesting. because they handled the hunter case completely different. look at this. doj, the men yesterday, the whistleblowers said the doj was dragging their feet. then they issued a cease and desist because of the upcoming election. then these whistleblowers say the u.s. attorney with the doj was very concerned, was very worried about how hunter's investigation was going to effect the doj's reputation. here is congresswoman fox asking if that's normal. >> did you begin to suspect that career officials at doj were, quote, dragging their feet regarding the next steps in the investigation? is that correct? >> yes. that's correct. >> was this within the typical

time frame for the self-imposed investigative pause that dog historically tends to implement in cases preceding elections? >> it was not. >> brian: to tiers of justice, that's the theme. i know it ticks democrats off. we have more show coming up. commissioner don garber going to be here talking about the biggest signing maybe in sports history in my view. lionel messy comes to intramiami. is he going to talk about the impact of that. >> ainsley: plus, brian, you can get rid of all of your clutter and confusion in your house. skip bedell and his space-saving tips coming up next. ♪ ♪ my husband and i have never been more active. shingles doesn't care. i go to spin classes with my coworkers. good for you, shingles doesn't care.
