david spunt has more from the justice department. david. >> quite a news conference. a news conference that lasted almost an hour long with multiple members of the republican party talking about concerns that they have with not only hunter biden but other members of the biden family, including president joe biden. they say that these companies were set up, as you just heard chairman comer, when joe biden was vice president of the united states. they are going back several years here. as they say house republicans have evidence that the biden family & associates set up about 20 companies and over $10 million they collected from companies with foreign ties. harris, there is a recurring theme. allegations that money went through multiple accounts before landing in biden family bank accounts. hunter biden also a recurring theme, the memo includes financial transaction information as a result of four different bank subpoenas. listen the this. >> if it looks complicated and sounds complicated it was intentionally made that way so you couldn't follow the mon. the white house

hard to keep it straight but that's why david spunt is here to sort it out for us. >> a lot of whistleblowers, no question about it. the f.b.i. is out with a new statement following that testimony yesterday. pretty succinct. the f.b.i.'s mission is to uphold the constitution and protect the american people. the f.b.i. has not and will not retaliate against individuals who make protected whistleblower disclosures. these men insist they are protected whistleblowers and were punished for questioning january 6th investigations. the f.b.i. in a letter to congress explains why two had security clearances revoked. two men questioned what happened on january 6th. one used an unauthorized flash drive to remove files from an f.b.i. computer and an attorney for the whistleblowers said more needs to be done to protect specifically f.b.i. whistleblowers now and those that come in the future. >> f.b.i. whistleblowers have second class status compared to those in most federal agencies. >> the department of justice is proposing strengthening whistleblower protections for f.b.i. agents but as with most federa

david spunt is live at the justice department with more. >> a story that is escalating quickly, no question about that. we know f.b.i. director christopher wray and house oversight chair james comer are scheduled to speak in a few hours early afternoon in this highly-anticipated phone call. comer claims he is being stonewalled by the f.b.i. but the f.b.i. is saying listen, we will cooperate with you but you have to give us a little bit more time to give you a specific reason for why we're not going to just hand over a document to congress. comer will speak with wray. we're told by a source familiar with the call there is a possibility the director will allow comer and a few others to see this document in question but in a secure location. the bureau is not going to email it or send it over to capitol hill. the document is a standard f.b.i. form called a 1023. it is used across the bureau when someone comes to an agent and wants to make an allegation or give a tip. the 1023 may prove true or may not. this specific document contains a claim that then v.p. biden accepted a bribe for a policy d

david spunt as the late freft the justice department. >> we were talking about 278,000 plus searches. this made public in a court filing on friday from the fisa court. the judge himself in this filing said this program needed to have some overhauling and some changes need to be made. the tool i speak of is section 702 of the foreign intelligence surveillance act, known as fisa. it gives the f.b.i. and other agencies the ability to digitally sur veil without a court order or warrant. we know the f.b.i. used the tool on people connected to the civil unrest following the death of george floyd in 2020. those involved in the january 6th attack on the capitol. even political donors. government data shows between december 2021 and november 2022 the f.b.i. conducted approximately a 94% drop from the previous year. the f.b.i. claims to have made changes but these numbers, bret and dana, are staggering. federal intelligence officials are pushing hard and begging congress to fully reup section 702 in the name of safety expiring at the end of this year december 31st. members of congress have a ba

first, let's go to justice david spunt who lays out for us what they were talking about in there today. hi, david. >> quite a hearing. two witnesses say that they were retaliated against by the fbi for questioning the official fbi narrative of january 6 at the u.s. capitol in washington and how some of those investigations actually came about. in a rare move, first of all, the fbi not commenting about today. in a rare move, we see a letter from the fbi to capitol hill that explains why these witnesses lost their security clearances. >> the fbi suspended my security clearance accusing me of being disloyal to my country. this outrageous and insulting accusation is based on unsubstantiated accusations that i hold conspiratorial views regarding january 6 and that i sympathized with criminal conduct. i do not. >> according to this letter, alan sent an e-mail in september of 2021 using his fbi e-mail account to multiple colleagues that contains links to websites and urged recipients to show caution and discretion. stephen friend said his name was damaged by the bureau for questioning january

. >> harris: david spunt at the justice department with all of this.ut protecting whistleblowers they better do a good legal job protectings this one. >> it is gary shapley and been with the i.r.s. for 14 years and he joined the hunter biden probe in 2020 almost three years ago. it was two years after it began. it began back in 2018 talking almost half a decade for the biden probe. here is gary shapley with cbs news last night. >> was multiple steps that were slow walked at the direction of the department of justice. >> had you ever encountered that before? >> i have not. the deviations from normal process each and every time it seemed to always benefit the subject. >> the department of justice declined to comment about this interview when i reached out last night. the commissioner of the i.r.s., who is under pressure to answer questions about i.r.s. whistleblowers and this investigation both to republicans and democrats says he hasn't been part of any retaliation part. i want to state i have not intervened and will not intervene in any way that would

. >> dana: david spunt has more from the justice department this morning. >> good morning. sobering is the word john durham uses himself in this 306 page report. it is not favoring the f.b.i., very critical of the f.b.i. we're talking about f.b.i. in 2016, 2017. the f.b.i. saying it has made numerous changes since then. as you meaningsed it took four years. we are a few days over the four-year mark. he spent over $6 million on the investigation. wrote, we conclude the f.b.i. strict -- the department meaning the department of justice where i join you from. the theme in the report durham says the f.b.i. rushed an investigation crossfire hurricane without the proper legal basis. crossfire hurricane is the code name used to describe the alleged connections between the trump campaign and russia. the f.b.i.'s failure to critically analyze information that ran counter to the narrative of a trump/russia collusion relationship is extremely troubling some. he took two cases the trial. lost them both. but a former f.b.i. attorney pled guilty to a minor charge. a claim the clinton camp

david spunt is following that live from the justice department today. hello, good morning. >> good morning to you both. we know that james comer says that deadline is tomorrow for the f.b.i., which is part of the justice department, to turn over the document. that deadline is at 12:00 p.m. eastern time. we'll see if the f.b.i. will make or miss that deadline. comer, along with his colleague in the senate, republican senator chuck grassley, specifically want a form called an fd1023. it is from june 2020 and it lays out allegations from when biden was vice president. sources familiar with the specific form tell fox news that type of form simply memorializes and interview with a source. it doesn't mean something is correct or incorrect on that document. details of the document are limited. both comer and grassley admit they haven't personally seen the document in question. also tomorrow comer will hold a news conference to lay out the findings on the biden family and their business dealings. in addition to a hunter biden probe on capitol hill, we have to r

first, let's go to david spunt at the department of justice. hi, david. >> hi, martha. in duelling probes relating to the president's son, hunter. first, let's go to an interview the president gave that aired late friday. he makes comments about the federal probe in to his son. watch. >> first of all, my son has done nothing wrong. i trust him. i have faith in him. it impacts my presidency by making me feel proud of him. >> the probe to hunter biden's finances, lying on a federal gun form and overseas business dealings began in at least 2018 and potentiallierlier. federal prosecutors are close to making a decision about potential charges. the second probe of the president's son comes from capitol hill where house republicans are calling on justice department officials to hold off indicting hunter biden in that federal probe, but there's a catch. >> do not indict hunter biden before wednesday when you have the opportunity to see the evidence that the house oversight committee will produce with respect to the web of llcs, with respect to the number of adversarial counties

let's go to david spunt who is standing by. the justice department, we know attorney general merrick garland received this report from special counsel, john durham last friday. garland read it with his team. we're told by the senior doj official. he didn't take anything out or didn't add anything to this 306 pages. directly transmitted it to capitol hill and now we know the report is public. it's important that we go back to the years when this happened. 2016, 2017. a very volatile time in this country no doubt. so when we hear about the fbi, we're hearing about under the leadership of then fbi director james comey. the fbi out with a new statement. there's some scathing observations about the way the fbi handled what some would say is preferential treatment to the hillary clinton campaign. the fbi pointing out that they put many different policies in place since 2016 in the early days of the president trumpsy and 17. had the reforms been in place in 2016, the missteps identified in the report could have been prevented. this re

. >> dana: david spunt is live at the justice department as it gets underway. >> 2.1 million cases, that's the backlog as of this morning. think about that for a moment. that number only expected to grow when title 42 is lifted. that number will only swell over the coming weeks and coming months. right now the backlog is about 4 to 6 years. some experts say it could go 8 to 10 years to get into court to hear your case because of title 42. one of the reasons only about 600 immigration judges right now that are active in the united states. obviously the department of justice wants more. they have appropriated more. clearly the judges are overwhelmed. that immigration backlog includes cases from 200 countries around the globe. not only border crossings but title 42 ending spells a disaster for the courts according to multiple people in the system. the judges fall under the department of justice umbrella and depend on the d.o.j. to make more of them. right now the d.o.j. hired 104 judges in fiscal year 2022. the total now around 634. more judges will be hired and brought up to speed i'm told.

oversight committee chair james comer will have more on that in moments, but first to fox news david spunt in batesville, arkansas. >> today's hearing lasted almost two hours, focus on a child support dispute, the overarching theme was hunter biden finances, he's been under federal investigation by the department of justice since at least 2018. so the president's son, hunter and his legal team walked into court 20 minutes before court, we were there, he was inside with london roberts, and his attorney abbey lowell. no opportunity to question hunter biden as police kept the media back and mentioned london roberts, she's suing hunter biden, says he needs to help more with child support involving their 4-year-old daughter, she is right there. dna test showed with near scientific certainty it is hunter's and originally they agreed on childcare can payments but she believes he is not living up to his end of the bargaining and stalling. but in court, learned several important facts. hunter biden is paying london roberts $20,000 a month. we also learned today that roberts has cooperated with the

david spunt live in washington with more. >> good morning. house republicans hoping to find a direct link between overseas money and joe biden. they haven't done that quite yet. still they continue to release bank records relating to hunter biden and his finances. newly revealed emails reviewed by fox news digital indicate that divorce attorneys for both hunter biden and his ex-wife kathleen were aware of payments to hunter which were $120,000 and called the romania deal. hunter's ex-wife said in an interview she wasn't aware of his overseas business dealings. >> i kept my head so deeply buried in the sand. i honestly have nothing to contribute. >> dana, while it is possible she did not know about the romania deal it appears her attorney at least did. sullivan, who represented her during the divorce proceedings wrote in december 2016 to hunter's attorney on the disclosures help me understand why it's taking so long to get this basic information? hunter's office confirmed a deposit of more than $120,000 in hunter's td accounts as funds from th
