mr. shapley said that a senior prosecutor working for the u.s. torney in delaware said hey, shapley, stop right there. don't look into joe biden. that's the complicated part. and that looks dirty. >> ainsley: he says the irs is supposed to treat everyone fairly and equally. that wasn't happening. they were telling him who not to touch and investigate. his attorney, his name is driven left. is he going to be on our show at 7:340. can. >> brian: shapley was up for a race he didn't believe he got it and promotion because he inquired and pushed back about what was going on inside. one thing is kind of interesting is that in march, senator grassley seems to have known this by the series of questions that he asked to david weiss, were you ever stopped from bringing there case forward, were you ever -- was anyone ever brought up to you, limitations to your investigation? almost as if to get him on the record because he knew this thing was bubbling up. grassley is really tough to get -- go at him on his integrity. >> steve: just the fact that the "new yor

mr. shapley. u.s. attorney david wise, the attorney general and just say okay, mr. apley, what did you hear? mr. weiss, what did you say? mr. attorney general, what is going on? you can solve the problem right there. because somebody is not telling the truth. >> ainsley: the president was saying fire that prosecutor in ukraine. if you don't, i'm not giving you government money, taxpayer dollars. and then we are learning that last week we learned there's this whatsapp message that is crazy. this is what was released from that whistleblower, mr. shapley. he said we have this what's app. from 2007. this is hunter biden saying i'm sitting here with my father. he would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. he goes on to say if i get a call or text from anyone other n. this other than you or zhang or the chairman i will make certain between the man sitting next to me and every person he notes my ability to forever hold a grudge and you will regret not following my direction. that's a threat. >> brian: by the way garland called a press conferenc

mr. shapley said they tried to pursue this in d.c. and los angeles and were shut down in both places and there's other people that can testify who were in this meeting who heard this said and done? >> yes. attorney weiss told six individuals october 7, 2022 that he was unable to bring these charges in d.c. and in california. until now, because merrick garland denied this a lot of people have asked, is this about shapley versus garland. it's about what u.s. attorney weiss said. "the new york times" reported that they have independently confirmed the account that california blocked charges from being brought. so others are picking up these pieces that the whistle-blowers have brought forward. there needs to be an investigation beyond these two whistle-blowers to figure out what happened in the doj and why does it that merrick garland that is sharing inaccurate information. >> martha: mr. shapley is going to be on with bret baier tonight. we have seen a bit of that interview and watching that closely. i want to give this to everybody at

mr. shapley, he is very famous. and to his credit, he's come forward to tell the story. another whistleblower talked to the ways and means committee and he said he told investigators he wanted to interview one of hunter biden's children about the expenses deducted on their behalf on hunter's business expenses and he was told by a prosecutor, that will get us into hot water if we interview the president's grandchildren, so they did not. congress has to bring people into a room and say, this is what the whistleblower said, is that true? >> ainsley: said prosecutors were tipping the defense team. >> brian: he came back and don't get caught up in the despicable person was and is, it relates to the family on other nations. he was going around the world with american aid, what was he do being in romania saying you get a million dollars. don't be distracted by the sex club stuff. talk about the gop -- >> steve: hard not to think about that, though. >> brian: the nomination, stunned to see donald trump continue to widen the lead, two indictments in, now at 56% to ron desantis on

mr. shapley said he was blocked by senior prosecutor working for david weiss, the u.s.ttorney in delaware. who is that person and why exactly are they the gatekeeper over whether or not you can look into a dirty deal. >> brian: tristan levett will be on with bret tonight. he talked about what will be next. he's already not gotten a promotion and raise he feels he was entitled to. what happens when shapley is questions and maybe david weiss, too. >> this is not about me, this is about information there and attorney general merrick garland tried to make it gary shapley versus the attorney general. further investigation, middle of july, if everyone is bringing this forward, it will be a disservice to the whistleblowers. it is up to congress to interview other witnesses and advance the investigation. >> brian: gary shapley said that david weiss tried to bring this criminal case forward in dc, rejected by matt graves and wanted to bring to los angeles and was rejected. yesterday the "new york times" confirmed l.a. prosecutor did reject and this is new, did reject david weiss

mr. shapley. you can't ask questions about joe biden. merrick garland said he took a hands-off approach to the investigation. that looks like it wasn't accurate as well. those are the questions we have to ask. >> one thing congressional republicans don't want is for attorney general merrick garland to appoint a special counsel to continue hunter's case. it would be like the fox guarding the hen house. >> sandra: jacque heinrich, thank you. even the liberal media spotlighting the problem. >> the lead i.r.s. agent investigating hunter biden telling congress they uncovered evidence the president's son pressured a potential chinese business partner to move ahead with a deal by invoking his father. if true, that would seem to contradict comments from president biden that he was not involved in his son's business deals. >> i said do you plan to talk to the president and she said chuck, no, i don't plan to speak to him about this and i don't plan to address this from the peedium. in many ways creates more questions here about this issue. >> sur

mr. shapley and another unnamed whistle-blower. here she is talking about why this is a deal that this judge has to say "nope, not going to pass." >> i got to page 95 my jaw dropped. that's where the testimony specifies that as early as june 2021 the prosecution team understood that because crimes must be prosecuted in the district where they occur, attorney general garland's failure to make u.s. attorney weiss a special council guaranteed that hunter biden would not be prosecuted for his tax crimes. >> i want to throw a bouquet to special agent shapley for bringing this forward. it is so important that this be brought forward and that congress be able to performance it's oversight function and do something about it. attorney general garland testified under oath to congress in march that he had given u.s. attorney weiss all of the authority he needed to do what he needed to do where he needed to do it. >> let's hope she pulls the plug on that. think about showing up at that dinner, after this election doing a book tour about his st

mr. shapley who put together a timeline, all the things he has done in the course of this investigation. >> president biden continues to deny any involvement in his son's business dealings and even shouted no at a reporter just yesterday. >> president biden how involved were you in your son's chinese shakedown text message? were you sitting there? were you involved? >> president biden: no, i wasn't. >> were you? >> president biden: no. >> the same response we heard from him a few different times. see if it changes today. set to new york city to go there to campaign fundraiser and may have more to say on the supreme court decision. we are awaiting the official white house reaction. >> julie: president biden delivering a new batch of gaffes this week as he gets into re-election mode. he refers to india prime minister modi as prime minister china. it didn't end there. >> president biden: we've appointed more african-american women to the executive -- to the -- to the federal bench than any other -- every other president combined. and he got the first -- [applause] first and brightest justic

mr. shapley, if there were lines of investigation where they were told you cannot go down there, that's anif this was a special counsel scenario, it's not. special counsels given a piece of paper when they start saying here the outlines of what you're doing, and we don't want them going beyond that. we don't want another ken starr scenario. but a normal investigation like this, you don't know where it's going to go and your job is to follow every lead. if it's proven that certain leads were cut off and it was said to this team, no, you can't look down that path, that's a real issue. >> you know, in another universe in which the world and congress was more functional and less polarized, this would be a perfect issue for congress to get to the bottom of. they could have hearings, call leadership of any agency in, investigate and really look into this. the problem is that congress itself is such a partisan body, you would not really get any sort of bipartisan agreement as to how to even conduct an investigation like that. that's really where you'd get to the bottom of something like that. >>

mr.. shapley and along with theg witt other whistleblower, has stated that mr. weiss directly said that he did not have the authority to bring charges that someone else above them did. them that sounds like a first question to me. joestion to me. today that it was just total independence, that he was not engaged in any meddling in any of this at all. >> this is on msnbc. i made commitment that i would not in any way interfere with the justice department who they prosecuted if they prosecuteny wayd, they proceeded. i have not spoken once atfl one single time with the attorney general on any specific cas e not once.s >> oh, congressman, he's basicallyase, saying if thi was any malfeasance. don't look at me. look ovengere war galan's peoplh >> laura, this is the same individual that said he knew zero about his son, hunter weew zero about his son, hunter and we we presented documentation last thursdaresen the ways and means committee that came from the whistleblowers that showed the what to app message from hunter biden to a chines he business associate saying thatw

mr. shapley as well if he wants his own thoughts on this known. thanks very much. >> thanks, martha. thanks for having me. >> martha: take care. be well. so there's jonathan turley standing by, constitutional attorney and fox news contributor and joining me now. jonathan, great to have you with us. you hear mark lytle's concern. why is chris clark making excuses for the department of justice and why are not we hearing directly from them? merrick garland said nothing to see here. keep walking. this was handled on the up and up. >> well, what is missing in this statement that you read, march that one element. a denial. a denial that he sent this message. instead, he said, you know, anything you said back then, that's the old hunter. it doesn't quite work that way when you're the senator of an influence pedalling operation that may have netted millions of dollars from foreign sources. so it's a very curious statement and consistent with what the hunter biden team has done. i think mark has done a great job. he mentioned the two exhibits that i'm most interested in. that is exhibit 10 an

mr. shapley who has put together a timeline, memorialize all the things that he's in the course of this investigation. so i think joe biden has said things that don't square with what the whistleblower said. the attorney general has certainly said things that don't square with what the whistleblower has related to us, specifically, that david weiss had complete authority, complete charging authority in this investigation. that's not, in fact, david weiss wrote me back and said that. but that's not what the whistleblower says. and practice shows that because when he tried to bring charges in the central district l.a. and when he tried to bring charges in dc, he was denied that again, according to the whistleblower. that's what i think this whistleblower's very credible. 14 years working at the irs, handling some of the biggest tax cases in the country, international tax cases. so i think he's very credible. i think what he said is accurate. somebody is not telling the truth, that it's our job to bring people in and find out exactly how this thing all went down. >> okay. so this this first whistleblowe

second whistleblower who worked under shapley as a case agent came forward with his own op sirvations. he wants to remain anonymous. his attorney refers to him as mr. x. he says it was clear to him that donald trump appointed u.s. attorney david weiss in delaware was not calling the shots. according to mr. x he, meaning weiss had to follow the normal process. go to washington, d.c. he really wasn't in charge. he had to follow the process. three weeks ago david weiss wrote and signed a letter addressed to jim jordan over in the house of representatives. we obtained a copy and it reads i want to make clear that as the attorney general has stated, i have been granted ultimate authority over this matter including responsibility for deciding where, when and whether to file charges. attorney general garland has denied blocking david weiss from investigating hunter biden and charging him. he said weiss controlled the probe from the beginning. given the discrepancy, house republicans want to hear from him directly and others in his office under oath. >> we want to talk to david weiss and get answers. the way you do that is talk to the attorneys who handle
