the f.b.i.'s investigation of trump campaign associates. in 29 applications that the f.b.i. made to the fisa court, i.g. found in 25 of them, there was unsupported, or inconsistent information totalling more than 200 instances where they were unsupported or omitted information. the f.b.i. was unable to even locate the woods' file -- yeah for the other four applications. and found over 400 instances with woods' procedures over 29 samples. director wray testified before this committee and told the people should not lose any sleep over the vast majority of fisa applications. former director comey labeled fisa a top-entire program. it was revealed that they failed to recognize the significant risk poe posed by the noncompliance of the woods' procedures which provide the justification for fisa applications. in may of this year, john durham released his report. that report not only backed up inspector general horowitz's findings but political and bias lied to the foreign intelligence surveillance cour

the f.b.i. bothered to ask. mr. nadler: thank you, i yield back. >> again, thank you to the panel. thanks for indulging us to go vote. we hope everybody votes with me. anyway -- we'll be back probably about an hour. feel free to make yourself comfortable here.

the f.b.i. on the other hand has abused its fisa authorities and violated american's rights. several investigations and audits, the special council exposed the tex tent to which the f.b.i. viemented fisa authorities. for example, 2019, u.i.g. issued a report finding that the f.b.i. has abused its fisa authority to legally, illegally surveil former trump campaign associate and american hero carter page. the report found 17 significant errors or omissions and 51 wrong or unsupported factual assertions in the applications to surveil mr. page. the f.b.i. relied on uncorroborated information, support its application to surveil mr. page because they wanted to keep donald j. trump, the greatest president in my lifetime from office. furthermore, the f.b.i. cherry picked facts to support its application, ignored exculpatory evidence, even doctor doctored evidence to support its application against page. the applications were based almost entirely on debunked allegations in the steele dossier with no prob

and f.b.i. are conspiring to shield the biden family from public criticism and giving hunter biden special treatment in its investigation. they have demonized law enforcement officials working with this case at every turn which has led to increased threats against f.b.i. officials, law enforcement that they pretend to support. i want to place to the record two excerpts from recent transcribed interviews and copies be made available to you. first is from a june interview with jennifer moore, f.b.i.'s former executive assistant director for human resources. f.b.i. received so many threats it had to stand up an entire 10-person unit just to deal with them. it is unprecedented. it is a number we have never had before. the second excerpt is from an interview earlier this month with thomas, the special agent in charge of f.b.i.'s baltimore field office. here is what he said. i joined the f.b.i. 25 years ago for a reason, to protect the american people. up hold the constitution. i've been to war and my

the items that the f.b.i.ered are -- uncover ready discussed in the indictment which i encourage all of you to read carefully. let's look at just some of the items. s you can see here, this is the mercedes-benz that we allege that uribe provided as part of the scheme. here are three kilograms of gold. these three kilograms together are worth approximately $150,000. and of course here you can see just a fraction of the cash that was uncovered as part of the scheme. i want to make a couple of things very clear. first, my office remains firmly committed to rooting out public corruption without fear or favor and without any regard to partisan politics. that's in our d.n.a. always has been, always will be. second, this investigation is very much ongoing, we are not done. and i want to encourage anyone with information to come forward and to come forward quickly. they can do that by reaching out to the f.b.i. tip line at 1-800-call-fbi. now, a case of this magnitude requires tremendous partnership and i want to than

according to the f.b.i. agent, the assistant director in charge of the washington field office, the search was a complete departure from standard protocol. when we interviewed him, he said, first, the miami field office did not do the search. instead, they said folks from d.c. he said there was no u.s. attorney signed to the case. instead it was run by d.c., in particular, jake pratt, who is now on the special counsel team. he said the f.b.i. did not get president trump's council approval before they did the search. and that he told us, he had recommended that when the f.b.i. got to the home of mr. trump, they waited for counsel to do that together. but the doj said no. who does the attorney general name is special counsel and that case? jack smith, the guy who a few years ago was looking for with the prosecute americans, looking to prosecute the very victims of the weaponized government, the weaponized irs. jack smith, the guy who prosecuted governor mcdonald, only to have the supreme court overturned that

s tip line at 1-800-call f.b.i. a case of this magnitude requires tremendous partnership and i want to thank our partners at the f.b.i. who have been with us since day one and absolutely incredible every step along the way. i also want to thank our partners at the i.r.s. for their assistance in this investigation. i want to thank our colleagues from around the department of justice who are far too many to name here and to thank specifically. they have also been invaluable. of course, i want to thank the career prosecutors from my office who are handling in investigation. they have done tremendous work. and their supervisors. the chiefs of our office's public corruption unit. i now want to invite up to the podium f.b.i. assistant director in charge, james smith. jim. >> good morning. i won't go any further into the case as u.s. attorney williams explained but what i want to talk about is the f.b.i.'s p investigative public corruption is one of our top priorities and we'll continue to investigate public corruption cas

according to the f.b.i. agent, the assistant director in charge of the washington field office, the search was a complete departure from standard protocol. when we interviewed him, he said, first, the miami field office did not do the search. instead, they said folks from d.c. he said there was no u.s. attorney signed to the case. instead it was run by d.c., in particular, jake pratt, who is now on the special counsel team. he said the f.b.i. did not get president trump's council approval before they did the search. and that he told us, he had recommended that when the f.b.i. got to the home of mr. trump, they waited for counsel to do that together. but the doj said no. who does the attorney general name is special counsel and that case? jack smith, the guy who a few years ago was looking for with the prosecute americans, looking to prosecute the very victims of the weaponized government, the weaponized irs. jack smith, the guy who prosecuted governor mcdonald, only to have the supreme court overturned that

epps, the f.b.i. has said he was not an employee or informant of the f.b.i. mr. epps has been charged and there is a proceeding, i believe, going on today on that subject. >> the charge is a joke. i yield to the chairman. >> time of the gentleman expired. recognize the gentleman from california. >> my colleague just said you should be held in contempt of congress. and that is quite rich because the guy who is leaving the hearing room right now, mr. jordan, is about 500 days into evading his subpoena. about 500 days. if we'll talk about contempt of congress, let's get real. are you serious that jim jordan, a witness to one of the greatest crimes ever committed in america, a crime where more prosecutions have occurred than any crime committed in america, refuses to help this country and we get lectured about contempt of congress? jim jordan won't honor a lawful subpoena. are you kidding me? are you kidding me? there is no credibility on that side. mr. attorney general, you are serious, they are not. you are decent, they are not. you are fair, they are not. so i wel

marshals that haven't been corrupted like the f.b.i. this is what the situation looks like today. that's the status. and short version, there will be more detailed versions on vivek2024. com laying out the reorganization plans. this is deeply pragmatic. 35,000 employees at the f.b.i. 20,000 of them are in none essential roles. many of them report. the j. edgar hoover building right here. they are going to and 15,000 of those employees are going to be reorganized into the u.s. marshals and financial crimes enforcement network into other parts, the d.e.a. taking on the drug enforcement problems. because part of the problem that runs the bureaucracy is that they find things to do that they shouldn't have been doing. post-9/11 they took on counterterrorism, from drug enforcement to child sex trafficking and financial crimes and white quoll collar crime. they had no specialization in the first place and less effective in enforcing the laws on the books while creating the formula for the corruption that we suffer today and we face a choice. do you want incremental, replace christopher w

f.b.i. headquarters about the hunter biden investigation. you know what his answer was? he said, i don't recollect the answer to that question. really? so let me get this straight, i told him, the attorney general of the united states cannot remember if he discussed an f.b.i. investigation into the son of the sitting president of the united states? that's your testimony under oath? yes, it is, he said. it's extraordinary. mr. speaker, frankly, we didn't expect transparency and his lieutenants demonstrated over and over they hold no regard for the rule of law and really are just acting as political hatchet men, protecting their boss, president biden. the attorney general was clearly unwilling or unable to provide the essential answers we needed today and we will continue to press for them. that's our job. that's our constitutional duty on judiciary to provide oversight over the d.o.j. mr. speaker, we have a great lineup of members here to speak this afternoon on some very important topics to

the f.b.i.ued warnings to at least three people active in the sikh in the community after a murder of one in canada. the canadian prime minister mid it on the india government based on one of canada's partners in the intelligence sharing alliance. the new reporting suggested that partner could have been the united states. indiana india -- india conditioned it and "washington post" said it saw a is video a 90-second recording of with his murder which points to a larger and more organized operation than previously been reported. i must point out we've not seen the video so we can't verify it but we can speak to a reporter who has watched it who joins us from washington. thank you for coming on the program. so, describe it for us what. do you see in this 90-second video? >> hi. you can see seeing the car pull up and see his car drive toward the exit in british columbia and 10 on the left-hand side you see a white sedan come toward it and at one point both cars are driving by each other and you noti

the f.b.i. and defendant of defense have tracked more than 100 such incidents with chinese nationals dubbed gate crashers in these secure site. authorities are sounding the alarm the chinese government could compel national to report back on security practices at military installations. >> dana: mike gallagher will join us in a minute with his thoughts on this potential spy threat from beijing and more. >> bill: we begin with eric shawn, live in the new york city newsroom with more on this. eric, good morning. what did you find out? >> good morning. unbelievable. it seems that china's infiltration of america is reaching alarming levels say u.s. officials including trying to send spies posing as tourists. they have been detected more than 100 times trying to access u.s. military bases and intelligence facilities posing as tourists. the "wall street journal" reported chinese national resort to claiming they are visitors trying to find the nearest burger king or mcdonalds that happen to be at or ne

. >> it was your f.b.i. that did this. it was your f.b.i. that was sending -- we have the memos, we have the emails. >> harris: eventually he went on to say no, catholics are not extremists. it's a two-minute segment of him trying to walk it back, walk the dog, i don't know. finally he said no. fox news contributor and "new york post" columnist miranda devine says merrick garland wilts on the hot seat. david spunt with his reporting. >> in that clip with congressman van drew the attorney general was referring to his family escaping nazi persecution during world war ii and appalled by the f.b.i. memo removed by f.b.i. systems. the big topic of yesterday as you might have guessed was special counsel david weiss or hunter biden. watch this. >> the fix is in. even with the face saving indictment last week of hunter biden, everyone knows the fix is in. 4 1/2 years the department of justice has been investigating mr. biden, an investigation run by david weiss. an investigation that limited the number of witnesses agents could interview. >> garland

between whistleblowers, f.b.i. informants, allegations that both biden and hunter received millions of dollars in exchange for changing policy to fire a prosecutor, actual interview with the prosecutor saying he was fired in exchange for these monies, at a minimum i think we need to look at whether the taxes were paid on it, whether there was money laundering, whether there was illegal foreign lobbying and violation of farah. there is a lot of exposure here. in addition to this emails and texts of oligarchs thanking hunter for time with his dad, of hunter saying my dad is sitting right here and you better pay up, look, there is so much smoke here that i certainly think it warrants a vote to get to the point to see if there is fire and to see if the person, vice president biden charged with policy over china, russia, and ukraine actually changed policy in exchange for this bribery scheme. >> harris: all of it really, if you just kind of narrow it down, comes to national security. was the former vice president via hi

we do know an f.b.i. informant has alleged to the f.b.i. many years ago that the vice president that there was a bribe and you wouldn't find the money because of shell companies. we do know now the biden company created 20 shell companies. we do know now that hads 20 million went to them. we do know now what president biden told the american public was not true that he never talked to his son about his business dealings. not true, thr talked to his son about his business dealings. we do know now based on the testimony of hunter biden's business partner that they were selling a brand, that the vice president would get on phone calls, that hunter biden went on 12 international trips with then vice president. we do know he went to meetings and when he went to these dinners, the son got a new porsche and got more than $3 million moved and transferred. we do know now when the shell companies got paid, nine members of the family got paid. we do know now that the government, while it was investigating hunter biden was treated differently by the bi

and the f.b.i. political opponents are being targeted and americans with different opinions are treated differently than those with regime-friendly viewpoints. showing very real constitutional due process concerns once again. and i fully support impeachment, but impeachment is not a replacement for accountability through government funding and the power of the purse. we find ourselves hearing from those on the left right now, the very same people who shut down american communities for well over a year, who destroyed tens of millions of families, small businesses, schools and churches, that they will block government funding if it happens to fix many of these problems. that's problematic. republicans should challenge them to do so by putting forward a c.r. that legitimately addresses these concerns, including border security, covid tyranny and the national debt. finally, i applaud all of those conservatives standing here, signaling that enough is enough that, it is finally time for republicans to tak

>> the f.b.i. falls under the department of justice, which falls under the commercial, justice and science appropriation and i would imagine, i can't speak for everybody, but i think generally speaking, we don't want to fund them at their current level. we want to send them a message that they obviously have too much money, they're weaponized and using the taxpayers' money against the taxpayers. we're done with that. yes. reporter: i want to ask you. [indiscernible] mr. perry: i think we agree with the speaker that impeachment should not be done for political reasons. if the facts take us to that location, that's where it will take us. it has nothing to do with the debt and deficit. they should be dealt with separately. the american people should not be forced to suffer under this economy where they can't afford their interest rates, credit card payments are through the roof, can't afford gas, electric, food, because biden needs to be -- to have an impeachment inquiry done on him. the president has

we didn't know about the f.b.i. form and trusted informant saying he bribed the president and hunter. we had so little information, devin archer, emails saying biden had signed off talking points supplied by hunter business partner. so we have a lot. it is worth noting chairman comer supports an inquiry. i'm in favor of one. it is disingenuous. i think dane with a was alluding to this, to say we have no evidence when you are finding all the attempts to gather evidence and see what you are there. president biden, if he did nothing wrong, could say look, take a look at all the records. here is the stuff. you'll see there is nothing wrong. but the more we learn, the smellier it gets. joe biden's public statements have been untrue. he told people in the debate his son took no money from china. well, hunter just admitted in court that he did. he said that the laptop was a russian disinformation. it wasn't. so i think an inquiry is a good idea also because i think a vote is crucial. it forces accountability. all these thi

f.b.i., u.s. customs and border patrol. department of emergency services, sheriff's department and every single person who went out into the field in the most horrendous conditions. we had weather problems, we had terrain problems and a ton of obstacles that prevented our capture from occurring as expediently as we wanted. we have the best people in the business and we never lost faith that this capture would occur. we knew it was just a matter of time. the scope of this manhunt was extremely impressive. the brave men and women who went out there every single day are our heroes and i am proud to be a part of this collective team of people who worked around the clock to bring this man to justice during this monumental challenge. they utilized every piece of advance technology, dogs, drones, helicopters, every asset available was put out for this capture. i can't express our gratitude deep enough to all of them and to the community for their support. we received dozens and dozens of donations, well wishes, and kind support th

and the f.b.i. recorded in 1023 form. the same form that the justice department didn't want to let this committee see. and all those facts, all of that was further confirmed yesterday with the information that the ways and means committee released from the whistleblowers shapley and ziegler. a communication from hunter biden from an executive with burisma. we feel comfortable with blue star strategies and the ability of sally and karen to deliver. hunter biden put burisma in touch with blue star strategies. what were they going to deliver? that was in a communication released yesterday as well. u.s. officials in ukraine and in the united states need to express support for burisma and nikolai to the highest level decision makers, the president of ukraine, the president's chief of staff and the prosecutor general. that's what they were going to deliver. were they successful? the interior minister confirmed that he is no longer wanted. we won in less than the year. communications between the folks at blue star and eric sher

remember what we also have, we have an f.b.i. informant that we found that had alleged the bidens took a bribe. we also have found you have a staffer that worked in the vice president's office that talked to hunter biden's business partner and said the vice president has signed off on the talking points. we learned during break that hunter biden, along with his business partner on the board, the ukrainian energy company, when he got those hundreds of thousands of dollars he never had to pay taxes on, and we learned that the statute of limitations had run out knowingly by the department of justice allowed that to happen. but what we found during this break period was there was a lot of pressure on hunter biden to call washington and do something about it. then we have watched where the vice president literally bragged to america that he took that billion dollars of taxpayer money and leveraged the ukraine government to fire their prosecutor. so knowing your whole job is always asking questions trying to find answers, you would wan

the f.b.i. and relied upon often alleged that president biden received a $5 million bribe for services rendered. the house oversight committee investigation has been going on for a while and the investigation has yielded many important facts. the investigators have found, here's a couple of samples. number one they found that hunter biden flew on air force 2 at least 15 times and engaged in activities which devon archer testified was to sell the brand and enrich the biden family. they found an email from biden associate james galar which break downs the profit agreement for a deal involving the chinese communist party linked cefc include, quote, 10 held by h for the big guy, unquote. they found a text message later that month from galar to tony bobolensky which read, quote, don't mention ejoe being involved. it's only when you are face-to-face. i know you know that but they are paranoid. this is a sampling of what we already know. this impeachment inquiry will offer house investigators greater s

we've been obstructed by the media and democrats on the house oversight committee, f.b.i. list goes on and on. >> harris: let's talk about that obstruction with republican senator joni ernst of the great state of iowa. good to have you have in "focus." tell me about that and where and how far you think republicans can get on this in terms of the investigation. >> thank you so much. i am so glad that we have chairman comer doing a deep dive. hunter biden got a sweetheart deal and we know that. we see it for what it is. it is protecting this president's son, who illegally obtained a firearm while the biden administration continues to go after law-abiding second amendment supporters. so i think this entire administration is corrupt. we have a d.o.j. that is intent on covering up for hunter biden and the president and yet socking it to the rest of america. >> harris: when you put it that way i was reading if you lie on a gun form like that, that will get you some jail time. this is more than sweetheart. this got kisses and hugs all over it. >> you are exactly right, harris. an

. >> dana: there is a stark warning from the f.b.i.r christopher wray says the number of russian spies in the u.s. is way too big. his remarks come as paul whelan remains wrongfully detained in russia. today marks one year since his family met with president biden to try to bring him home. senior correspondent rich edson live with the latest. hi, rich. >> now paul whalen's sister is in washington again securing another meeting with president biden to bring her brother home after nearly five years as a russian hospital. she is pushing to meet with the president this week. it appears she will meet with white house officials and members of congress ahead of one of her congressional meetings she told us she was struck by f.b.i. director christopher wray admitting last week that the russian spy presence in the united states is still way too big. >> that took me by surprise because i would think if there were russians here spying, wouldn't that be a great idea to arrest one of those guys and trade them for paul? i have questions when i meet

and this should be concerning considering that the f.b.i. has just confirmed that isis is smuggling uzbeky asylum seekers across our southern border. isis. and an iranian national was caught in the interior after iran has threatened revenge andujar, retaliation -- and harsh retaliation against the united states and they said they're going to conduct terrorism on our soil. yes, the same iran that joe biden just gave $6 billion to. 107,000 americans have died from overdoses last year. that's more than 2/3 of those deaths -- and 2/3 of those deaths are attributed to mostly fentanyl. the d.e.a. recently made over 3,000 arrests of drug cartel networks operating right here in the united states of america, thanks to joe biden's open border. the deaths are equivalent to a commercial airline crashing every single day. so i ask my colleagues, on the senate side, when are you going to pass our h.r. 2? our border security act. if the president's not going to undo his executive orders, we need to take action, the house passed it. unfortunately i think ev

the f.b.i.or said chain camera is the biggest threat to our economy threatening to invade taiwan. they are now entertaining helping russia. so president biden's view of china is disconnected from reality. >> harris: it's almost like they give him talking points at the start of the day and then he just sticks to those because china just bought the largest pork plant in america. i mean, china is making a land grab for farms and other purchases here in new york city for these empty buildings since the pandemic. they are already here per xi. how does that begin to change? >> can you imagine how they took what president biden said? he is coming over to china to assure them he doesn't want to hurt them. he is not apparently going to challenge them. i don't want war with china but you need to make it real. if you invade taiwan it will be the biggest mistake you ever made. if you poison america through fentanyl you will pay a price. you need to stop stealing our intellectual property. that's what i want

and f.b.i. and department of state and usaid and many others from our government and our allies and partners. hold your head high. you served, you did what your country asked, and each of you serve with honor and courage still, and dignity, and never forget that. [applause] today, our joint force is ready. right now, as we are here, fort myer, on this field, there are 60 to 100 united states navy warships sailing the seven seas to ensure freedom of navigation. and our coast guard has saved countless lives at sea. right now, last 24 hours, we flew other 5,000 sorties and we do that every day to protect our homeland, support our allies and keep the skies safe. our space force is rapidly expanding into that new domain. and our army and marines are currently forward-deployed to maintain peace and stability throughout the world. simultaneously, this join force is preparing for the future, investing in capabilities to sustain our military overmatch and modernize the force. and our pace forward will no

when the f.b.i. searched, they found them. once heard anybody have a good explanation, especially someone in public office, for having that kind of cash in their home and not deposited in a bank somewhere. >> dana: can i ask you, sir, what happens if this goes forward? you have a presidential election, you have bob menendez up in 2024. this is the second time in a decade he has been charged with corruption. six years ago he beat it with a hung jury. now are the stakes higher? what happens in new jersey if there is a change? >> well look, you know, new jersey is a pretty straight forward process. we went through it when i was governor from another senator passed away. it is the choice of the governor of new jersey to make an appointment that would last until the next general election if bob menendez were to resign or be removed from office after a conviction. phil murphy's term runs until january of 2026. so, you know, the idea would be if menendez had to leave or volunteered to leave, it would give the democratic governor an o

d.e.a., f.b.i. and local authorities in new york trying to put together the pieces of tragedy at a bronx daycare resulting in the death of a 1-year-old last week. fentanyl was hidden inside the daycare. three other kids were taken to the hospital. you see them there. so sad and tragic. two people charged. investigation is far from over. others could be charged. the boy was just a year old. >> sandra: david spunt live from washington for us. thank you very much. >> bill: three minutes past the hour now. a big reveal for you at the moment. the republican national committee announcing seven candidates have qualified for the second primary debate and for the first time right here on "america's newsroom" we can tell you exactly where they will be standing on the stage. so here we go, florida governor ron desantis once again center podium. entrepreneur vivek ramaswamy flanks the governor to his left. nikki haley is on his other side shoulder right. south carolina senator tim scott in position four. former

>> have you had personal contact with anyone at f.b.i.the hunter biden investigation? >> i don't recollect the answer to that question. >> tell us about any briefings or discusses that you personally have had with mr. weiss regarding any and all federal investigations of hunter biden? >> i would not intrude in his investigation. >> what stage are we in? >> i'm not per misted to discuss ongoing investigations. >> isn't that convenient? >> i don't think they felt like they got a lot but enough to feel like they were on the right track. >> bill: we have covered a lot of these hearings, grant me that? >> dana: yeah. >> bill: i was surprised yesterday that every other network was on this and something that we don't always see. i don't know if they pushed the ball one direction or the other if merrick garland was successful. people are paying attention to that hearing. >> dana: maybe next time they'll send people to the border to cover that story. >> bill: a jury in wilmington, delaware unable to reach a verdict after a brutal assault captured

massive influx of fentanyl, human trafficking, sex trafficking, the department of justice and the f.b.i weaponization. when there are memos circulating targeting catholics as potential terrorists and parents going to school board meetings, the power of the purse is really the way that you hold those agencies accountable. some of the guys in the house like chip roy, who are raising the alarm about this, i think are right and part of the reason our bureaucracy is so out of control in this deep state developed is congress has not been willing to use the power of the purse to discipline these agencies. >> bill: let's talk about disney. a month ago you said disney will lose that lawsuit. just yesterday that lawsuit has been trimmed down and some would argue significantly now only applying to free speech and you and what you said about the company. can you win it? >> they are going to lose that claim. it is a bogus claim. these were acts of the florida legislature. they had every right to make sure disney is going under the same laws. we have great laws for new business and here is the thing.

they're called gate crashers, f.b.i. and department of defense tracking more than 100 incidents of chinese nationals posing as tourists here in the u.s. their goal appears to be breaching our military bases and other federal sites. fox news senior correspondent eric shawn with more on the growing national security concern. >> it seems the chinese infiltration of our country reaching alarming levels according to officials, including chinese citizens trying to get on or near military bases more than 100 times. "wall street journal" reporting chinese nationals have been found claiming they're simply visitors often trying to find the nearest burger king or mcdonalds. it just happens to be at or near military sites. the alleged ploys include chinese nationals making reservations on hotels on military basis. they have been caught walking across missile range in new mexico and scuba diving near a rocket site in florida. officials say the chinese citizens are being pressured by beijing and families back home threatened. republic

the f.b.i. is investigating if officials tried to gain access to menendez through his wife.continues to say he won't resign and will be exonerated. >> why won't you resign, sir? >> because i'm innocent. what's wrong with you guys? >> more than half of menendez's democratic colleagues, 30 senators, are calling for his resignation. even in the last few minutes. yesterday three senators. the list includes majority senate whip dick durbin who initially said menendez was innocent until proven guilty. durbin tweeting this morning leaders in new jersey, including the governor and my senate colleague cory booker have made it clear that senator menendez can no longer serve. he should step down. durbin said new jersey's leaders and cory booker's decision swayed him in this decision. now all eyes are on senate majority leader chuck schumer. he will have his weekly press conference today and hasn't yet called on the senator to resign. by the way, senate democrats are having a closed-door lunch for the first time meeting since menendez was indicted. >> harris: perhaps they will be snacki
