host: when it comes to the tax charges wedded hunter died in here when it came -- hunter biden here when he came to -- when it came to the tax charges? guest: in 2017 and 2018 he has all of the taxes -- that are unpaid. you cannot not to pay your taxes. and hunter biden has maintained this since the beginning. he is pleading guilty on this now as you noted at the very top. we are going to have to see what actually happened in or it. and in 2018 hunter was in delaware -- and in 2018 hunter was in delaware and he was found to be on crack cocaine. so this crime carries maximum and multi-of 10 years in jail. and this shows that they basically decided to divert this prosecution. essentially if hunter biden -- what we have been told is there will be drug testing for a certain period of time. and extra probationary period. if he maintains that agreement for a certain period of time, it will be dismissed altogether. host: how unusual is this type of plea deal when it comes to those charges on the tax side and the gun possession side? guest: lawyers will tell you that millions of people do not fi

hunter and his father, both men accused of corruption as critics focused on hunter biden's businessls in ukraine and china. >> i want to bring in abc's chief white house correspondent mary bruce on this. the president has talked about a close relationship with his son. any reaction from the white house on this? mary: no reaction yet, diane. over recent years and months, the white house, the biden administration often tried to distance themselves from this investigation, not commenting on it, simply instead referring to the justice department. the president has been emphatic that he believes his son, hunter, did not break the law, that he did nothing wrong. we know that joe biden is extremely protective of his family and he's also deeply proud of his son. i think it has pained the president to see his son be used to launch political attacks against him for so many years now. this president also has been very open about the very real struggle his son faced with addiction which is of course at the center and linked to some of this investigation. he said hunter, like so many american fa

of hunter's laptop. hunter's very nervous looking attorney. not the good one abbe lowell who is a serious lawyer who did a good job on behalf of the biden family. but the other lawyer said federal investigators never even brought up the contents in their five-year investigation into hunter of hunter's laptop. they had those laptops for four years. >> do you have any idea of hunter biden's laptop had anything to do with this investigation? was it used? >> i don't. >> have you asked about it? >> i cannot recall being asked about it to be honest. >> republican city the laptop has tons of proof that hunter biden participated in corruption and there is financial proof that president biden and hunter biden were connected and the gains that were made overseas by hunter biden. have you ever seen any proof of that? >> i have not seen anybody make an actual persuasive case. you asked whether or not the laptop was part of the investigation. it has been out there. we don't have any proof of it that there was any kin

if hunter biden was connected to the elite d.c. field? >> yeah, and i think it's important to note that house republicans, since february have launched investigations into joe biden, and those investigations, which are their right to do, and it was made clear the investigation into hunter biden is ongoing. this is still open here, and when you are seeing republicans, they failed -- it's important to note -- to link the serious allegations they made against hunter biden and joe biden as well, including that joe biden profited off of his son's business dealings, and they failed to produce the evidence that clearly the department of justice felt necessary to charge one or either of them. this is in the last week a prominent u.s. senator suggested there were tapes the fbi was not disclosing in which the energy company executive had with joe biden and hunter biden, and then it was revealed the u.s. government did not have the possession of the tapes and the tapes may not exist at all, and that's where you have seen trump try to use this

hunter and hunter's foreiggsn business partner. let's see if we can advance that story. great job toda cay. >> thank you. now, of course, this is so mucho bigger than joe bideu.n as outlined in his brand new article. this is a multiyear government plot to protect biden and sully trump. here with more an. he's the editor in chief of just the news.com investigative reporter . went solomon. you went into chapter verse in i detailnt. you and i have been on the same page on a lot of these issues. put it all together.e durham the durham report, the 1023 report, the irhes whistleblower, everything we know aboutknow pfizer, 2016 destroyed emails.a it looks lik2016e it just never ends, john. >> yeah, listen, there's not any doubt now there was a whole of government effortort mult, m agencies, the fbi, the justice department, the u.s. attorney's office. attorns ths, the irs anc intelligence community to protectt jo joe biden's viability to be president in 2020. and it manifests itself in so s many ways. and the flip side of it is to sully donald trump. the chancesulls reelection.

hunter biden admits that.go through the emails and the text exchanges on his laptop, there is even mountains of more evidence showing how much to the degree to which joe biden was benefiting financially from this arrangement. so to say that there is no evidence is absurd. there is mountains of evidence. and you have to willfully be trying to not get to the bottom of this, to ignore all of this evidence. >> harris: we have to scoot out of here. i will say this. democrats get a little bit of a victory if they continue that investigation into hunter at the d.o.j. even after he pleaded guilty to things because it locks down as leo terrell taught us this hour. "outnumbered" is next. we know patients are more than their disease. that's why, at novo nordisk, we've spent a hundred years developing treatments to help unlock humanity's full potential. these are the greats: people living with, thriving with — not held back by — disease. they motivate us to fight diabetes and obesity, rare diseases and cardiovascular cond

what else did hunter pay for? where do you know hunter's on record complaining about half his salary going to the big guy. house oversight issues, subpoenas for hunter credit cards and hunter's phone records if at&t gives you biden's burner phone records when he was vice president, that should tell us something. if hunter was putting his dad's lifestyle on a shell company credit card, you should be able to draw a line from china to hunter to joe biden. that is your smoking gun. the whistleblowers are done. one delaware fairbairn city went to prison for 2 years for legal donations to joe biden. the bidens came asking him for hundred thousand dollars in donations and to script the legal limit about the biden suggested he had all of his employees donate. you know strong donors. he got caught. joe told him tough luck. and then we offer the fence to wear wire, they said no. big guy is off limits. that beer baron joins us now. chris, how did this shakeout? how do the bidens approach you and asking you for these donation

today, an attorney for hunter biden, christopher clark, spoke to msnbc. how does hunter biden feel?ppy to move on with his life and his recovery and keep doing i mean, the one thing nobody talks about is how long hunter has been sober and moving forward with his life being a good person, his lawyers would say this is it. this is the end. it's all behind him. but the congressional republicans are making it clear that they don't view it that way. and joining me now, former trump administration justice department official sarah isgur. you know, sarah, some republicans are calling this plea a sweetheart deal. what's your take? well, at the top level, what republicans are arguing is that you have donald trump facing 37 felony charges, that all carry jail time compared to hunter biden, who will now have no jail time. hunter biden was negotiating with the department of justice. donald trump has shown no interest in meeting with the department of justice to talk to them about a potential plea negotiation or deal. and the other part of the hunter biden news that we learned today is tax evasi

attorney to charge hunter. asked for authority from doj and denied. congress man, did garland commit perjury well? >> i think we gotta find out that is disturb and contradictory to everything in the transcripts y. what motivation would the whistle blowers you pointed out during before the show democrats used to love whistle blowers what motivation have to make this up? so much fun should >> we asked them questions about anything related there is no motivation. they have been you know doj gone after for coming forward. other thing to think about in my time doj no one let's the statute of limitations run out the tax the statute of limitations are -- yea. >> i mean everything everyone it is obvious it is embarrass -- hunter was careless in the messages. he is a dope, sorry. i'm sure he is proud but so obvious what was going on in the messages. shaking down the chinese and chinese wanted influence. not looking for business or acoutput he has none. he has the last name biden that's all that china wanted >> intentional protection by the doj because he was t

that is what hunter biden is pleading guilty to. and what you have heard from kevin mccarthy there is giving you a preview of what the justice department is going to be able to withhold a lot of the information of what they have been doing in this ongoing investigation, and that is going to end once the judge gavels and accepts whatever the deal is here between hunter biden's lawyers and the justice department, and one other thing to note here is 2017, and 2018 is a period in which hunter biden is getting money from a company from china, energy company, and serving in a bord in burisma, and keep those two names in your head, because you will be hearing a lot more from republicans who want to know more about where that money went, and is it possible that it went to other places for that they need to investigate. guys. >> and also, 2017, and 2018, evan, to be clear, joe biden was not in office, correct? >> that is correct. he was not in office at that time. and again, hupter biden was having the financial dealings and his work that he

this is also what he says about hunter. hunter believes it is important the take responsibility for these mistakes he made in a period of turmoil and addiction in his life, and he is looking forward to continuing the recovery in his life, and the key operative parts of the statement are that at least in their discussions with the prosecutors in the u.s. attorney's office and again this is u.s. attorney david weiss by donald trump appointed to oversee this investigation, and this deal that resolves the investigation according to hunter biden's attorneys believes this resolves everything, and really, that is an important part of this plea agreement, because this investigation as we have talked about spanning five years and three attorneys general have looked at a lot of information including his dealings with ukraine and things that republicans are not going to let go of, and they believe more investigation needs to be done, and even if they believe this investigation is done, criminal investigation with the attorney's office

this has never been about hunter biden and hunter biden's troubles. it's always been about what hunter biden and other members of the biden family have done to trade on joe biden's name, office and influence. >> hunter biden is front and center. i think joe biden has made the calculation that it isn't going to stick to him. hunter biden is leading joe biden around ireland and is at the state dinner right now. has joe biden made the calculation? i will keep hunter front and center and the american people won't care. >> i guess you could say that joe biden has gotten away with it now for 50 years. look what happened earlier this week. hunter biden got a slap on the wrist. they let the most serious crimes lapse under the statute of limitations. they didn't even charge any crime related to corruption or bribery or foreign influence peddling. so joe biden thinks he has gotten away with it this far with the complicit medium. maybe he can continue to get away with it. >> good luck. 56% of the american people say we think hunter was involved in these business

hunter biden's lawyer came of the and, hunter biden is speaking only for himself, no one else in theily. we'll see where they can go with this but it's obviously not going away. they're going to continue this all the way through the election but they still haven't really made the direct link to the president but they're going to try very hard to do that that. william: this text message carl is talking about is a text message where hunter is speaking to, we believe a chinese official. he's saying i'm sitting next to my father. this was when biden was not president yet. he essentially said i'm sitting next to my dad and if you don't do this deal with me there's going to be hell to pay. do you think this adds to the republicans' case there is more here? >> it certainly looks that way. frippetted they weren't moving ahead with some energy deep and to carl's points, hunter biden's lawyers, the white house have all said the president knows nothing about this. there was no connection to the president, then former vice president, who wasn't in office at the time. this also was a time when hu

you remember, the few investigating zero experience hunter was fired in six hours, so hunter can continue to get paid. no experience at all bat. a great country embankment a great life. dad is vice-president. there was a payoff we are toll. did it happen? did they have a bigger payoff we had not known about? we needs answers. few months earlier in late 2019 the fbi apparently verified hunger's laptop from hell with messages that out sign 10 percent for the big guy and complaints from hunt there pops had to take and was taking half his income and forced to pay for pops home repairs and living expenses and prior to 2019 a wave of hard evidence including photos that biden met with more than a dozen of hundredors foreign business partners the thing he said he never did then that july 27 shake hunter implicated his own father in a scheme to charge a chinese foreign national for access to the big guy and bombshell new allegations from two irs whistleblowers that thought democrats and the media love whistleblowers no more apparently who claim joe and hunter were protected by garland and joe bide

in hunter's laptop. after a long five year investigation into hunter biden, the feds come up with two misdemeanor tax charges for missing an irs deadline on just over $200,000 in taxes. on $3 million in income over two years and a gun charge that was deferred. that means hunter biden will not spend a day in jail. that means the big guy does not have a care in the world as long as merrick garland is the ag and christopher wray is running the fbi. that means that joe biden's department of justice is part of the executive branch is a disgrace. our two-tiered system of justice has never been this egregious, but the american people thankfully are not blind to the reality. a majority of america can see right through this and believe that biden is corrupt. 62% believe that the charges against donald trump by joe biden's justice department are politically motivated and you, the american people, as per usual are correct. joining is now with reaction, house ways and means committee chairman jason smith from missou

that's what happened to hunter biden.r was the member of a 75,000 a year private sex club in los angeles. celebrities wearing masks, orgies, dungeons, you name it. they had it all. but hunter biden was such a creep, according to the sex club owner, he was kicked out after his first sex party. do you know how hard that is? that's like getting kicked out of the hell's angels for being too violent. where hasn't hunter been kicked out. the navy, chat to you, office in georgetown, soon the d.c. bar. only place let him in is air force 1. have you ever seen such powerful people protect such wicked guy? it's not because it's about hunter, it's always been about protecting joe. now, if you still need proof of it, here it is. we're learning this. according to the irs whistleblowers, the u.s. attorney's office investigating hunter had charges ready to go last year. but, when they tried to charge him, biden's justice department said no, off limits. they blocked it. irs whistleblowers revealed this to house republicans today. listen.

hunter biden.ich is not part of this, and all of the accusations that they have made, vis-a-vis, ukraine, and the now president/then vice president and hunter biden, again, i think it's important to underscore, none of that is in this plea deal. it doesn't mean that it's not going to be part of the congressional investigations. as we've heard from our colleagues and just know from our own reporting ing and havin eyes and ears being journalists, not going to go away from the republican house of representatives. having said that, i do think it's important to take a stem back for a second and note that we do have the son of a sitting president pleading guilty to federal charges. they seem to be in the grand scheme of things relatively minor charges. and it does -- i'm sure, we will see and hear from hunter biden. when we do he will talk about the fact that this was caught up in his addiction. and that is part of why, maybe, he's going to say, that is the reason why he decided to plead guilty to this.

hunter biden's lawyer also acknowledged that in a statement that hunter biden believes it is important for him to take responsibility as he continues to work through recovery, which people who understand addiction as a disease knows that -- knows that is a long-term lifetime situation. and so from the white house, what has made this politically so difficult is for all the obvious reasons the president himself is being investigated by a special counsel for the documents matter involving records from his vice presidential years that were discovered, there has been this five-year investigation of his son. and, of course, we're in a political season. so we know that republicans, those on capitol hill, who have some authority through oversight, to investigate, are certainly talking about issues related to hunter biden and in the larger political realm hunter biden has been one of those volatile figures that is used against the president, against the administration, and as a very motivating force in politics. so that makes this a very complicated situation when you're talking about a son, a

hunter's laptop. it has material evidence, ,drugr use, gun crimeugs, crimes,es financial information about all of hunter's foreign lobbying. did he register as a under ane fara actfair? doubt it. and sketchy foreign business deals. how much moneyreign bu de he making from china, russia, kazakhstan, ukraine and a dozen countries. what about the profit sharing with the big guyfi or giving haf of his income to pops, meaning joe biden, your president, and zero interest. the fbi has been possession of that laptop since december 2019, according to johnwi solomon. he'll join us later. they verify the authenticityll f that laptop in the spring of 2020. but federal investigatorg of 20s never asked about it. they never brought it up with hunter or his attorney. talk about a weaponized fbi and doj protecting the biden syndicate. it is not a serious investigatio bidsyndicatn and wi a serious investigation. and this is an effort to convincou an effore you that they have the appearance of fairness allng while prote

did hunter biden lie about the gun?> he pleaded guilty to the situation. >> there's no time for him to serve no prison time. they're trying to put president trump in prison? >> reporter: two key house committee chairmen plan to meet and discuss strategy to investigate the investigators. whether or not to call david wise, who is the u.s. attorney in this case. the trump-appointed u.s. attorney held over into the biden administration. the question will be whether or not that comes before the house judiciary committee or house oversight committee. that is what chairman james comer told me today about the plans to pursue the testimony of the u.s. attorney and try to get records. he says there are a number of questions he has about what the investigation into hunter biden pursued and what it did not pursue. >> i wonder if people that have been investigating the bidens knew about the shell companies. if they knew about the money laundering. and if they knew about the money wires. i think the u.s. attorney will be invited to t

hunter biden. unprecedentsed. the first in history for a criminal charge to be made against a president's son while he is in office. so we have soave some -- some -- >> biden will admit to illegally possessing that gun after his purchase five years ago in 2018. as part of the admission, he will enter a diversion program that we were just referring to, which is a lesser sentence that typically applies to people who have a substance issue. at the time he put in his application he had a substance abuse problem that he lied about on the application and able to get the gun. prosecutors would then recommend two years of probation and diversion conditions. now, if he meets the conditions of the program, the diversion program, the gun charge is removed from his record. it is expunged after 24 months and does not appear as some sort of federal charge or felony charge. >> dana: further to your point this is one of the reasons people do decide to make a plea deal to try to get this behind them. hunter biden is 53 years old.

hotel in december 2015 with his sonthat hunter.n the room when they were the chinese he met o with over a dozen of hunter's overseas business s partners. hunter put them on thein speakerphone when he was meeting with these partners. it it's beat. >> the bulk of it though, all of this many divided families taken in for for what? what was thefo business? >> the product was joe biden. lexi particles are by that's it. thank you, please come back sooy we need more time but i'll seeyr everybody tomorrow on mornings with marie on foxbusiness. have a good sunday. to learn more visit treatted.com. that's treatt-e-d.com. yeah, everything's taken care of. -hey, jamie. -oh, what am i up to? just visiting a special secret client. i can't say who it is, but let's just say she bundled her dream house and her dream car for round-the-clock protection with progressive. oh. she has another house in malibu. she's been an astronaut, an architect, a ceo. we're in front of her house, dude. i'd love to tell you who her boyfriend is, but i don't think i "k

hunter has all those answers. they could have gotten every single one of them under oath if they wanted to. but instead they cut a deal designed to immunize the biden family and joe biden in particular from scrutiny when they should be bringing witnesses in front of a grand jury to find out what joe biden did for all that money. now it's left to house republicans and james comer to build up that roadmap so that a new doj can pick it up in 2025. >> now that hunter has reached this excruciatingly difficult plea deal, here is what the media wants republicans to do. say that the developments in the hunter biden case today have a ring of exoneration for the president's son and in some small ways for the president himself because of the attacks that house republicans have made. republicans need to take the loss in the hunter biden probe. it's time for them to move on. >> again, no probing about foreign influence in the middle of this proxy war in ukraine. obviously this involves the ukraine with the prosecutor and every

and hunters team.here's a profound sense of reliefhat hunter will likely not be serving jail time. i think there was a real fear and also some fear on his team that this investigation is never going to end. essentially the prosecutor not wanting to upset either side essentially would not make a prosecutorial final decision until after the 2020 election. joe biden, essentially you wake up every day scared that your son is going to read the apps -- relapse. with this investigation and this flurry of attacks which obviously will not end obviously, but you have this attack hanging over your son ted also -- your son's head while also trying to stay sober is hard. this is a psychological personal relief. you have to remember that hunter is the only living family member after the 1972 accident that killed other family members. hunter is the only person surviving from the accident. it creates a special goal -- special psychological need for him to be there. host: is it over for hunter biden and justice departm

about why hunter should not be charged. he paid these taxes back with fees and penalties and he should not be charged in those. they pointed to a supreme court decision expanding second amendment rights. it's going to be hard to prove your case beyond a reasonable doubt. in recent weeks negotiations have ramped up between biden's attorneys and the justice department, calls back and forth, which finally resolved this deal with this deal. i think it's significant even though it's taken years, right, for this investigation to play out, it really appeared to heat up in the past about eight to nine weeks since the doj meeting and finally they've been able to negotiate an agreement to resolve this. >> take us behind the scenes as somebody who has been a federal prosecutor involved in maybe not the investigation of a sitting president's son, but investigations nonetheless? >> well, about 97 or 98% of federal cases, dana, end up in guilty plea, so the first thing to take away from things is that it's really nothing remarkable for a

in the end, hunter received

hunt hunter biden gets to walk, more or less.ppens here is i think there is a large number of, there's a large contingent of democratic voters who even recognize this and say, wait a minute, y'all come here every four years, you sing we shall overcome, but you don't do the the same sort of justice reform for us that you do the for your family members. people look at hunter biden say that wasn't fair, i don't care if you're right or left, and that's a problem for this white house. maybe not right now, but it could be come november 2024. howard: the media have made hunter biden a symbol of biden family corruption. there's no question his muckraking in ukraine, china and perhaps if elsewhere is just an embarrassment and shameful. so, mary county run -- more -- mary katherine, were the pun pundits december sin thed to be -- destined to be disappointed? >> he's done nothing wrong, i've never talked to him about his business dealings, i have no idea about anything with china, it's going to turn out some of that is false which is a poli

did hunter biden lie about the gun? >> he pleaded guilty to the situation -- that situation. >> well, there's no. there's no time for him to serve. no prison time. but they're trying to put president trump in prison. >> they're different cases, different facts. >> but equal justice here. that's the problem most americans have. >> speaker mccarthy said he believes the result of the plea deal will enhance the house gop investigation into hunter biden and joe biden trying to link the two and business deals overseas with the white house and joe biden's actions as vice president. the question is what will happen if the justice department does not provide the records, comer indicating to me moments ago he has not made a decision whether to subpoena for those records but they plan to call for that u.s. attorney to come testify before the house dme. >> the u.s. attorney appointed by donald trump and joe biden kept him in office. i saw speaker mccarthy department address for that of the your question. it's emblematic of how pres

biden, hunter sex club initiation fees are not tax deductible. even clubs you get thrown out because you're a jackass. hunter is not going to spend a year in jail weiss contemplating a u.s. pointed from d.c. would not allow him to charge hunter in his district, weiss also allegedly says he was blocked from bringing charges in california by another biden appointed u.s. attorney. ultimately this refuel to prosecute meant that hunter's tax crimes alleged from 2014-2015 et cetera stemming from his work from burisma holdings the oil giant in ukraine would be excluded and also meant the statute of limitation was allowed to expire enableing the doj to sanitize hunter's charges and according to the irs whistleblower not just one but the one you heard from, weiss, quote, asks for special counsel authority from the doj and merrick garland but was denied that authority. he said he had more power than a special counsel. here's where things get very, very dicy for all involved. you see, attorney general merrick garland is telling a much different story and he

oh, we got a hunter.while they are going after me under the espionage act, that is like the creation of missiles in your basement. [laughter] they got him for nothing. >> kayleigh: and now the liberal media hyenas are trying to use the hunter sweetheart deal to shut down the biden investigation altogether. >> now we are seeing hunter biden take responsibility and plead guilty. >> this is a day of closure for the president's family. >> historic in and of itself though it may not satisfy some critics of the president and his son who will be looking for perhaps more blood here. >> republicans have been trying to stir up conspiracy theories left and right. one after another have been disproven. they don't like the fact. they love conspiracy theories. well, this is another one that did not play out for him. >> it will cut to hunter biden as being someone with a criminal record and they will insist that the biden justice department gave him simply a slap on the wrist. >> this is not some sweetheart deal but thi

hunter's own attorney confirmed e message. but he just blamed ion hunter being a track head. e midst of a horrible addiction, are solely his own and have no connection to anyone in his family. he went from hunter did nothing e was just as high as a kite deference. but have you ever seen such powerful people go bat this hard for a druggy? if i don't pay my taxes, garland is not going to help me. i'm sure -- i know he is not going to help you either. if you have ever seen an attorney general have dinner with a guy he is still investigating. still slow-walking, well, last night garland had a v.i.p. seat to biden's state dinner. the same dinnerrer hunter went to. i'm sure they enjoyed the best champagne and vegan delicacies that your tax dollars can pay for. garland says he has done everything by the books? some chosen to attack the justice department opponents and claim would he go do not treat case alike. this constitutes an attack on a institution that is essential to the american democracy and essential to the safety of the american people. nothing could be further from the t

even the lynx appears to eat every hunter i breed on the towers, in fact the hunter does not need toown the game. we have already prepared him in advance . he comes out here, we looked at what time he comes out to feed. what time does it enter the water, what time does it leave the salt lick and approximately? for example, after 40 minutes it will come out, we brought it to another field with approach he brought down to the deer that he liked. and now let's go up to the top. check out the view. and since you don't have a weapon permit. you can only admire nature. my maximum is binoculars. according to the international insurance system, how will the rules for entry into those countries that break these agreements to replace green cards change? border insurance contracts will come in the territory of the country of entry both for us and for foreigners; a contract for 15 days for visitors costs 9 euros for cargo cars 17 for cars and 18 euros for buses , a rare book was presented to the history park in the village of sula, what kind of publication is this? this is the first edition of t

kara, what penalties will hunter biden now face?tax charges you mentioned two misdemeanors failing to pay taxes for 2018 and 2019, prosecutors saying hunter biden didn't pay taxes on $1.5 million in income for each of those years. the trump-apointed u.s. attorney david weiss here has agreed to recommend to the jump that hunter biden get probation under those charges. under the statutory statute, the maximum punishment for those charges is up to a year in prison each. now, there's also that gun possession charge that you mentioned and that is a felony. but in this instance, hunter biden won't plead guilty to that charge, instead, it's going to be diverted. which means if he lives up to certain elements of conditions that are set by this agreement then that chargeological go away. that's a common charge that's used in instances where someone has been under the influence. an addict, it's one way to resolve that kind of case. so, you know, clearly a negotiated deal that has been in the works for some time. this investigation has spanned

hunter, front and center, look at my son hunter. and percentages would be higher if the media was not suppressing this or crafting the narrative as biden's struggling son. the state of new jersey is suing three public school districts after they informed parents of a child's decision to change genders. that is next. need to lower your monthly expenses and get cash? here's a great way to do it. the newday 100 va cash out loan. at newday, our veterans on average pay off $44,000 of high rate debt, take out $28,000 cash and can lower the monthly payments by $500. use your va benefit at newday right now and get the financial peace of mind you've earned with your service. so it's decided, we'll park even deeper into parking spaces so people think they're open. surprise.

the hunter biden investigation was never about hunter. it was always about joe. that's what the laptop tells us. the whistleblowers, the bank records. and the house investigation will continue to investigate joe biden and follow the money when prosecutors won't. and today james comer looked at two more secret fbi documents that christopher wray has been holding back. and we'll learn more about those in the coming days. let's turn it over to brett tolman, is he a former federal prosecutor who specializes in tax crimes. all right. bret, is this case a sweetheart deal? >> jesse, let's start with the beginning of a sweetheart deal. you have joe biden who ushered in penalties, extreme penalties for crack cocaine distribution, possession distribution and use. and 100 times the length of a sentence for powder cocaine. and then he just recently signed a bill that if you are a user in possession of a firearm, you are no longer facing up to 10 years but 15 years. so he is willing to be real tough, take off the kid gloves, when it comes to these types of crimes, unless it's

be ni hunter biden. hece owed more than 2 million in taxes and he escaped with just w ita slap on the wrist. and now we learn that the deep state, the doj, the fbi, the irs, they interfered with the hunter biden probe e. . according to house wayss and means committee chair jason smith, therean was a delah divulge and deny campaigern testimony. we have just released details. a lack of u.s. attorney independence recurring unjustified delays, unusual actions outside the normals course of anoutsidy investigati a lack of transparency across the investigation and prosecution teams and bullying and threats from the defensstigatioe counsel. this was a campaign of delay. divulge and deny whistleblower say reoccurring, unjustified delays pervaded the investigation, including an author that authenticating a whatsapp message iann which hunter biden demands payment from chinese officials, noting that his father is in the room . >> they delayed, passed the statute of limitations for some of hunter's crimes. they divul

attorney to charge hunter in his district. and he asked for special counsel authority from main doj at that time, but was denied. congressman, did garland commit perjury there? come close? i think we got to find out. e gothat's very disturbingg and contradictory to the everything that's in these ths y.r transcripts.histle what motivation would these whistleblowers and a s you pointed out during the before the show, democrats, you used to love whistleblowers. right. but what what motivation would they have to jus tion havt what, make all this up? >> they don't have much fun. no. i mean, we asked them questions anng it, anything related. there is no motivation here. in fact, they've been you know,o the doj is going after them for coming forward on this forward. the other thing to think about here, in my time as a federal prosecutor, do j no one lets the statute of limitations run out on these tax charges. they purposely slow walk this. so the statute of limitations. yeahmitation. e it >> i mean, so i mean, obv everything every o

hunter biden's attorney says he agrees this will end the government's investigation but hunter biden's name won't go anywhere any time soon. >> i don't think it will quiet critics. i think we will continue to see that the house will hold hearings. >> reporter: congressman james comer leading investigations into hunter biden called it a slap on the wrist. republicans in the house are investigating hunter's business dealings in china and ukraine as well as investigations into his laptop and election interference. hunter biden has been a frequent foil for former president trump on the 2024 campaign trail. >> illegal censorship of the hunter biden laptop from hell. remember the laptop from hell? >> reporter: trump compared today's plea deal to a traffic ticket. the white house issued a statement earlier today saying that the president and first lady love and support their son and will continue to do so as he looks to rebuild his life. >> as you mentioned, the president and first lady offered a statement of support. do we expect to anyt mo from the president especially as house republicans

this is an attorney for hunter biden.tive leaks have plagued this matter for years. they are not only irresponsible, they are illegal. any suggestion the investigation was not thorough or cut corners or cut my client any slack is preposterous and deeply irresponsible. buff the whistleblower testimony, juan williams, really, many have argued it's not irresponsible. certainly not illegal. >> juan: the testimony is not illegal. nobody is saying that what we have this week was a decision by a trump appointed prosecutor who had full authority over the case by his own account to bring two misdemeanor charges basically against hunter biden. that was it. all these other things that we're hearing about, an app. message? we don't know if the president was involved and he wasn't even president or vice president at the time in was from 2017 last week senator grassley said he had a tape of somebody this week you have an app. message. this looks like a republican version of the steele dossier bunch of rumors and innuendo and no hard ev

let's start with the hunter biden plea deal.nator there deeming it bias, saying it's a two-tier system of justice. we need to insert this important context that this is also happening as donald trump, the front runner to be the republican nominee for president has been indicted twice and may have more charges added to his name in the months ahead, so talk to us about republicans and how they're trying to navigate this balancing act. >> yeah, i mean, it's striking. essentially you have the republicans running for president, including trump himself essentially saying they are potentially going to pardon trump or at least probably make significant changes to the federal indictments against him while they are simultaneously saying they are going to install people in the justice department that will ramp up the investigations into hunter biden and the biden family, so, you know, it is sort of one of those things where everything seems unprecedented but you really have to step back and see that essentially the potential like guilt or

investigation. 2019, the fbi learns about hunter's laptop.ks later, according to shapley, fbi agents confirmed the authenticity of what is on that device and even so, fast forward, a year later essentially, august of 2020, the fbi sits you down and says they worry you're advancing russian disinformation. was the fbi running cover for hunter biden? >> i believe they were. i think it started when they left the jon mcisaac -- john paul mcisaac's computer shop and said it's our experience people don't talk about these things don't get in trouble. and that began their pre sabotage of any news coverage of the laptop. and, by the way, to a certain extent it worked. we had over a hundred articles published against us that we were soliciting russian disinformation, we got that information which was later leaked to the washington post to smear me and impacting the wisconsin u.s. senate election in 2022. but this hasn't been widely reported that the day after senator grassley and i issued our reports in september 2020, mcisaac now finally felt safe enou

number one, that all of hunter biden's clients could have been deceived by hunter. who bamboozled them toive going him millions for nothing. or this is likely, that these foreign entities were getting real value for their money. and a crucial point i think got lost here. these foreign interests are not now encouraged to believe that america is for sale does not matter if joe south out the scheme or knowingly to being a broib. what ever the law says he got rich off gentleman service, his family did the answer is no in pregnancy to this let's have another impeachment. or let's you know have another investigation. because the only way to fix this is if the voters themselves decide to punish the democrats and badly. and again this is yet gop will be waisting time if pursuesen will investigations before president yell election as at the present timing the possibilities are. we know what happened here. it is going to back fire turning biden to a martir. instead we had turn him into a loser at the poleless. and one pillar of the 2024 campaign for republicans should be the

it's not just hunter biden on that.out james the president's brother. when you talk about the president himself. these are the types of things that the american people want accountability on. not a two tiered justice system where if your last name is biden or obama or bush or clinton, you are released on it but, if you are trump, you are actually, you know, incriminated, guilty until proven innocent. so we want to get back to the rule of law and actually holding people to the same standards. >> todd: along those lines, you are a fellow colleague luna anna pa lawn knee moving to censors adam schiff. >> censors adam schiff of california where the allegation donald trump colluded with russia in-to-interfere in the 2016 election has been revealed as false by numerous in-depth investigations including the recent report by special counsel john durham. >> todd: look, republicans couldn't get their whole group to get together when there was a $16 million fine attached to this. will productions pass the censor this time? >> well

this is no longer just an investigation into hunter but admission of guilt by hunter. all right, thank you very much indeed. senator ted cruz republican from the great state of texas. does this hunter deal give the american people justice? >> unfortunately it doesn't remotely do that. yesterday was a bad day for the rule of law and country, a sad day for justice in our country. in my view, this deal stinks and embodies three things. and embodies cronyism, camouflage and corruption. on cronyism, hunter biden got a sweetheart deal he'd never get, i can never get. if hunter's name for hunter smith, he faced real jail time but because daddy is president, he gets a slap on the wrist and not even a day in jail but second, camouflage. this is very important. merrick garland i believe is the most political attorney general our country has ever seen. he entered d.o.j. wanting to end intending to indict donald trump. he needs to indict hunter biden as camouflage to say look how fair and even i am, i indicted trump and biden, i'm really even. this is about covering up vendetta ag

they don't seem to care, it will implicate hunter biden. >> brian: hunter biden will be deposed by isaacare following return defamation suit against him saying, you never should have let everybody see the laptop. what will come out of this, do you think? >> it will be first time under oath hunter biden has to answer questions, he denied or said he doesn't know if it is his laptop. there are 9000 pictures and documents published on the internet. it is his laptop. it is him. this plaintiff, mr. isaac, has important duty to ask questions that have not been answered and see how far hunter biden is willing to go in continuing the -- probably not my computer, but might be, shouldn't have released it. first time under oath hunter will have to answer questions. >> brian: why when isaac dropped off, why treat him like the criminal, and why did you only act after "new york post" published it. why not tell william barr you authent indicated it in 2019? so much going on to protect donald trump and to help joe biden. incredible. you were there for all of it. thanks, appreciate it. >> brian: go to car

hunter biden releasing a statement, i know hunter believes it is important to take responsibility forse mistakes that he made during a period of turmoil and addiction in his life. he looks forward to recovery and moving forward. in a separate statement from the white house, quote, the president and first lady love their son and will support him as he continues to rebuild his life. we will have no further comment. and from republican oversight committee chair james comer, quote, hunter biden is getting away with a slap on the wrist. the charges against hunter biden and sweet hart plea deal have no impact on the investigation. joining me now nbc correspondent and justice correspondent ken dilanian, andrew wiseman, and former u.s. attorney juk rosenberg. it's great to have you all. ken dilanian, take us through what we know howl the deal came together? >> reporter: well, andrea, this case has been investigated as you said for five years by the trump-appointed u.s. attorney in delaware, david greed to stay on and operated as deet factory attorney, independent of those who run the justice
