it looks like they were telling senator chuck grassley and house oversight chair james comer that thes have unclassified documents alleging vice president biden committed bribery under the obama white house, got money from a foreign national to the alter or u.s. foreign policies. but first, let's get to the economic mayhem. the fed again raising interest rates a tenth straight time, this time in the middle of a bank crisis. edward lawrence is at the federal reserve with the story. edward. >> reporter: well, liz, the federal reserve chairman hinting there could be a pause now in rate hikes. the fed chairman pointing to the lag effect for monetary the policy from when they institute the rate hikes to when they actually are seen in the economy. >> our future policy actions will depend on how events unfold. in determining the extent to which additional policy firming may be appropriate to return inflation to 2 over time -- 2% over time, the committee will take into account the cumulative tightening of monetary policy, the lags with which monetary policy affects economic opportunity and in

like why is it taking this, and why -- chuck grassley is the senator that whistleblowers turn to when they lose hope something will happen through official channels. if this is coming to senator grassley, somebody in the fbi has been trying to raise it through the system a long time and has not been able to get satisfaction, he's going to the senate, to the protector of whistleblowers. >> john: we have no detail on this, but inkling what it is connected to, they ask secretary antony blinken to preserve and provide records he may have related to hunter biden's business dealings overseas, and asked him to provide by may 15 any relevant emails that he may have on this from his personal account. according to a deputy spokesperson for the state department, state has received the inquiry, we are reviewing it appropriately. what i will say, though, is that i would be -- i would hesitate to take everything that the hill says at face value, there's been a clear track record in many instances taken out of context, misrepresented, so don't know the intent or what's going on here. said we have se

chuck grassley senior member and he joins me now. this document that we keep hearing about that is so explosive? >> well, it comes from credible whistleblower disclosures and it is a fbi document investigatory that seems to imply that then vice president biden was involved in some criminal activity we have subpoenaed this document. my focus right now is on the fbi and the department much justice. what have they done with this document? did they follow up with it and the public has a right to know. and it seems to meet fbi ought to get this document to us by no later than the deadline wednesday when we set that in the subpoena. it's five or six pages. it's got a lot of information in it to to but the details we wot know until we get the document. focus on the fbi doing their job. just like you said about the prosecutor divulged something in the last week that took place in 2018, 2019. did the fbi properly follow up on it? evidently he is telling you that it was not followed up even when he could produce somebody from the ukraine that

chuck grassley is a not a theorist or drama queen. i read the transcript from the whistleblower and alleging sean what is consistent with what we see from the companies and llc's. and a pattern by the biden family members to launder money in areas that joe biden has influence as vice president or now president of the united states. this is a very important piece of our investigation and the fbi just gave us the middle finger and said, you worry about yourself, we're worry about ours. that's not going to cut it and demand this letter and use every resource possible to get this information presented to the american people. >> congressman james comer, good work and have you back often and only the beginning of your investigation, thank you. and hearing now reaction of the co-host of judge perorina. how are you? >> thank you. >> a number of things, i want to know if all the bidens paid taxes. i want to know if they registered and complied with the f farro laws. and how much of that money was profit. we know that hunter had no experience w

the way that james comer and senator chuck grassley spoke about it this week. you know grassley has a long history of protecting whistleblowers, of handling them, writing length legislation protect home, i think two senior republicans must be pretty certain this is a very credible whistleb whistleblower. and this information is detrimental to the president. kennedy: and this is a new wis whistle-blower. this has do with the vice president directly. interestingly this fbi document they are trying to gain access to is unclassified. do you think it will remain unclassifi? >> senator chuck grassley says he would not be surprised if it suddenly became classified. because, you the history of the fbi recently has been of resisting oversight, being hosts hostile to oversight, christopher wray does not seem to want to come clean with congress with things that are g detrimental to the fbi. we know about they sent to directory wray they are looking for a form, 1023, that is what fbi uses for confidential human sources which is filed in a restricted server in a sep a separa

chuck grassley just talked about this. >> i want answers and so do america. it's my job to make sure that they cooperate and make sure that the executive branch of government, republican or democrat, doesn't matter to me, that they enforce the law as the constitution requires to equitably enforce the law. their credibility is on the line. >> we reached out to the biden white house in to the biden 2024 campaign and we'll update when we have replies. gillian? >> gillian: thanks, peter doocy. let's bring in republican senator tim scott. he's a ranking senator of the banking committee and exploring a possible 2024 white house bid. sir, what is your response to the latest report on this fbi whistle-blower? >> it's very important information. listening to chuck grassley, what he was saying is nobody is above the law. we have to make sure that we get all the information possible. i heard the tail end of what you talked about. getting all the information is the best thing for us to do the more information the better. >> gillian: does it surprise you to hear your coll

policy for personal gain chuck grassley raising the possibility the white house, may have to block you house investigators from the obtaining the document, watch this. >> it will be -- successful, unless the white house classifies this document. and, they better not because i know it is an unclassified document they could keep me from getting it by classifying it. >> joining me right now is chairman of the house oversight committee kentucky congressman james comer congressman thanks very much for being here this morning. >> good morning. maria: well there is so much to talk to you about you are doing a great job digging into this, what can you tell us about the whistleblower claims? what is the with whistleblower saying specifically? >> well, as you know maria, senator grassley and i reviewed a legally protected credible whistleblower document allegations an exchange of money for policy decisions made by then-vice president joe biden. we have determined whistleblower is extremely creditable based on records we have gen getting, talked talking about for weeks based on fact nine differen

senator chuck grassley and chairman james comer absent a subpoena for the fbi document that whistleblower says links president biden directly to criminal scheme involving money that he and his family taken for policy decisions that he made as vice president the white house has refused to comment but the white house will try to classify the document so nobody can see it. right now and unclassified document. will we be able to see this document that the republicans say ties biden to this influence peddling scheme. >> we need to make sure the department of justice is following up on the allegations, we have to know the truth and truth be darned, you know how the saying goes let's bring it forward and let the american people see what those allegations are, the document that point toward criminal wrongdoing by the president, let's let them evaluate as well let's make sure the department of justice is actually following through, kudos to chairman comer and senator chuck grassley for working with this whistleblower and trying to bring these allegations to light. senator what are we supposed to t

chuck grassley says i believe the f.b.i. possesses an unclassified internal document including very serious and detailed allegations implicating the current president of the united states. what we don't know what if anything the f.b.i. has done to verify the claims and investigate further. that's the key. lawmakers have not seen this document yet and congressional investigations to date have not produced any solid proof of wrongdoing by the biden family. however, some in the senate are already looking beyond the investigations into possible conclusions. >> it doesn't have to be a high crime or misdemeanor. the constitution specifies impeachment lies for treason or bribery. the evidence not only against hunter biden but the evidence against joe biden being complicit and profiting from this corruption is growing and growing and growing. >> we just don't know who this whistleblower is or what kind of a source would have talked to the f.b.i. or the d.o.j. that would produce this document that now these republicans in congress wa

you don't want to mess around with chuck grassley.'m going to tell you that he is like a pit bull. he will stay on an issue. he is on the substance. he doesn't care about the politics. and he's warning them don't play politics with it. even if they do though, if they do classify this, chuck grassley has the ability, the intelligence committees on both the house have the ability to review those documents in a scif. and so at some point somebody outside of the white house and doj has to look at these documents. >> jesse: what does it mean to you that the fbi has just been sitting on something this explosive? >> i am, you know, it's mind boggling to me, jesse. because this is -- it's not just explosive. this is enormous information that would have immediately gone to the attorney general himself and to director wray. now, once that happens. if the decision was made to stall, to bury this or to buy time. that could only come from director wray or attorney general merrick garland. >> jesse: they have this silly rule, you know, no big inves

but that also make sure i like to work for chuck grassley, senator grassley coming in maybe half of iowa did at one point that we take the morning flight out on monday to get back home on a thursday because that is where we do our best work. back in the district, serving the community the folks elected us and trying as best as a possible speaker dads a good husband for. >> what grassley teacher? what senator grassley taught me hard work definitely. he taught me thriftiness of iowans. he also taught about being a pragmatic leader. you do not get to be the senior senator in the country without recognizing the things bigger than your ego. going into with a humbleha hear. that is really what we're trying to emulate now. there a lot of things important iowas families. from going to the grocery store, filling up the minivan to getting cracks in the field you've got to be in the district listen to folks.ra sinner grassley does his famous 99 county tour he visits every county in the state would do the same the third district we just do it everyng quarter versus evy year to all 20 counties gettin

accusation comes from the house oversight chair james comer and senator chuck grassley.ubpoena that document from the feds. the republicans are demanding answers. >> we had credible information that this possible criminal activity took place. i just want to do what congressional oversight responsibilities i have to see what the f.b.i.'s and the d.o.j. has done to follow up on it. >> we need to know what that evidence is and i don't know why anybody would want to hide it. i think the democrats should come forward. if they're so confident that joe biden didn't do anything wrong, great! then release the document. let's get it all out there in public. sunshine is the best disinfectant. >> kayleigh: the democrats, of course, aren't interested. the russia hoax leader himself, you know who he is, adam schiff already downplaying it. >> i don't think you can put much stock in anything that mr. comer has to say because his track record is very poor. when they put before the so-called whistleblowers before congress, none of it has born out. i don't know whether this is just pure sp

i work for chuck grassley. grassley coming in as, i think maybe half of iowa did at one point. but we take the morning flight out on a monday and we get back on a thursday because that's where we do best work back in the district serving community and the folks that elected us and trying as best as possible to be a dad and a good husband. what is senator grassley to you? so, senator taught me hard work. definitely. he taught me thriftiness of iowans, but he also talked about being a pragmatic. you don't get to be the senior senator in the country without recognizing that there's things bigger than your ego. and so going into it with a humble heart and that's really what we're trying to emulate now is there's a lot of that are important to iowa families from, you know, going to the grocery store to filling up the minivan, to getting crops in the field. you've got to be in the district listening to folks. and senator grassley, does his famous 99 county tour where he visits every county in the state, we do the same in the third district, but we just do it every quarter versus ever

chuck grassley is not a conspiracy theorist. he's not a drama queen. he has confidence in this whistleblower. i've read the transcript from the whistleblower. okayqueen., what the whistleblor is alleging, sean , is consistent with what we're seeing with these shell companies in llc. there' with whats a pattern by family members to launder money from foreignpatter nationals ins where joe biden has influence, either as vice president or now as president. prest orof the united states . thest orof the united states . so this is a very importantry ip piece of the investigation. and the fbi just basically flipl gave us the middle finger and said, you just worry about' your stuff, we'll worry about ours. that's not going to cut it.t we're goin o g to continue to demand to get this letter and we're going to use every resource possible to get this information. >> all right, congressman comer james , good work. we'll have you back often. and this is only the beginning to your investigation. >> o i think people need to know this was the beginning, interim report.

chuck grassley invited me to the state and he said, tim, how many of you know chuck grassley pretty well? sometimes he sounds angry when he is not. he said, i need you to come down at iowa. sir, yes sir. i started calling him general grassley. it is our inside joke. in 2015, i started coming here. we did press -- conferences. i fell in love with senator grassley's parks and his wife is a jewel. i think she likes me more than he does. the first thing iran into was senator grassley and his wife -- i ran into was saturday -- senator grassley and his wife and there is a word we use sometimes that is called cheap. senator grassley is not cheap but he is frugal. he said, barbara, don't you bet records, and i said this, he is a man i need to follow his economic policies. he is a solid christian. he had some legislation -- he said, you can listen to me for five minutes or you can read this 30 seconds. i said, thank you very much. we have a great relationship. we have gone through hard times together and we have come out as people who love the lord and spent a lot of time. i campaigned for her. i

chairman of the house oversight committee james comer and chuck grassley say they have new information alleging joe biden was involved in a pay-to-play scheme. they say, the file describes alleged criminal scheme involving then vp biden. the document includes how the criminal scheme was employed, as well as its purpose. >> we have credible information that this possible criminal activity took place and i can't verify whether or not it's really a criminal activity, but i do have faith in the whistleblowers that bring it to me that this document exists. >> lucas: white house understand responding in a statement, republicans have been lobbying political attacks against the president and his family without offering evidence other than u.s. interest. when it comes to president biden's personal finances, he offered unprecedented level of transparency, releasing 25 years of tax releases to the american public. richard nixon was president. grassley and comer have not said when this took place or what country is involved. first time a sitting president and his son have been under federal invest

richard, take a lesson on this to what chuck grassley had said earlier and i want to get your response. >> not once has the fbi or the doj counteracted anything that i've stated publicly about information or the accusations that were making or evidence that we had given to us by whistleblowers. and i think that speaks for itself. >> why do you think the doj has not responded pay. >> is a couple of things happening. based on what is reported that there seems to be a pending decision by the us attorney. it's worth pointing out the sea chuck grassley and jim chart of an author since about the seven had controlled the seventh 2018 talk about this. think what makes us interesting to me is that if you have had help whistleblowers and have these documents, go ahead and call a subpoena and ask him som questions but if you feels there's criminal activity that say this is what we found in ou investigation. they spend more time talking about the evidence but without actually acting on it. and i think that is -- >> what do you say to that. of republicans years into this thing at the goods or they

chuck grassley invited me to the state and he said, tim, how many of you all know chuck grassley pretty well, watched him for a while? sometimes he sounds angry when he is not. i need you to come down to iowa. i need to come with me. sir, yes, sir. i called him general grassley. our inside joke we have been talking about for the past nine years. in 2015 i started coming here. ncwe did some press conferences. we got on the campaign together. i felt truly in love with senator grassley's heart. and his wife is a jewel. i think she likes me more than he does, by the way. which is not a bad thing, in my opinion. the first fundraiser i went to as a newbie in the senate was with senator grassley and his wife. there is a word we use sometimes that is kind of offensive. it iss cheap. senator grassley is not cheap, but he is frugal. he says, barbara, don't need that breakfast. if you do not eat it, we don't have to pay for. >> this is a man i need to follow his economic policies because he is really cool. and he is such a solid christian as well. he gave me a page with four points, leading republ

chuck grassley know what's he's doing here. comer know what's he's doing. i went through with this senator grassley and chairman jordan. there's no way they should take this -- they can look at it in camera but i would hold them in contempt immediately based on that he cannot be trusted. >> former congressman, thanks for coming on. we appreciate it. >> thanks, trace. >> republicans on capitol hill are divided hours before a make-or-break vote on a debt deal forged by president biden and speaker mccarthy. the argument from republicans on both sides of the debate is next. >> under estimated? for damn sure. kevin mccarthy has always been underestimated. the votes will prove why that is the wrong proposition here in washington. veteran homeowners, want to lower your monthly payments and get cash? with a home loan from newday, take out an average of $70,000, pay off debts and high rate credit cards, and save hundreds every month. (vo) if you've had thyroid eye disease for years and your eyes feel like they're getting kicked in the backside, it's not too late for

>> bret: senator chuck grassley working alongside james comer says that new whistleblower here. bi and thej saying the information provided by a whistleblower raises concerns that then vice president biden allegedly engaged in a bribery scheme with a foreign national. the american people need to know if president biden sold out the united states of america to make money for himself. the white house responded in a fairly lengthy statement. this is part of it. white house spokesperson saying they, republicans, prefer floating anonymous innuendo amplified by the mega phone of their allies in the right wing media to get attention to try to distract and deflect from their own unpopular ideas and lack of solutions to the issues the american people actually care about. saying there is not substance here and that the president has been transparent. with that, let's bring in our panel, fox news chief political analyst brit hume, leslie marshall, democratic strategist and morgan ortagus former state department spokesperson. brit, let me start with you. this is now the second whistleblower

the accusations come from house oversight chair james comer and senator chuck grassley. they say the whistleblower flagged a document detailing a criminal scheme. it allegedly happened when biden was vice president. they accuse him of accepting money from a foreign national in exchange for policy decisions. >> bill: comer has subpoenaed that document. republicans spent years investigating the president and his family. some say it is a breakthrough. according to grassley the white house could still block the release. >> do you believe the sub in jai will be successful and chairman comer will be able to obtain this document? what level of confidence. >> it will be successful unless the white house classifies this document. and they better not because i know it's a non-classified document. they could keep me from getting it by classifying it. >> dana: "new york post" saying the clock is ticking for joe bribing. >> bill: let's start with the reaction from the white house today. >> good morning. the house oversight committee and senator chuck grassley are alleging according t

comer and chuck grassley of iowa wrain writing to the fbi demandg a form that describes a criminal scheme exchange of money for policy decisions the white house is dismissing the claim and says republicans are trafficking in innuendo. let's get to sara murray. s what's at play? >> this is an explosive claim from two republicans who spent a lot of time investigating the bidens. they have heard from an unknown whistleblower who insists the fbi has some kind of evidence that joe biden when he was vice president was involved in this criminal scheme that involved paying off a foreign national. we should note they don't offer any evidence to back this claim up. they don't offer it in the press release or subsequent interviews. but comer still has issued this subpoena to the fbi. he's asking for documents that are supposedly related to this. and these documents are the kinds of forms the fbi would fill out when they have someone who comes in. they are memorializing an interview or trying to take information down from a confidential source. but essentially when the forms do is document allegation

you were the first you and chuck grassley first senators to get into hunter biden situation investigate, is it evidence free? >> no there's all kinds of evidence, you saw what happened in 2022 false plea accused of disseminating russian disinformation familiar? this is how media dismissed our report, in, chairman comer, his added to that evidence understand these investigations are not easy people commit criminal acts try not to legislative a paper trail, so it is very difficult to piece altogether particularly when you have the -- the leftists progressives failsly kyiving you disseminating russian information as they falsely accused of laptop of being russian disinformation as well. maria: james comer walked us through web of llcs biden family created, money came from china, and other council by the way not just china going into llcs money from llcs to various biden family members what can you tell us about that what were they getting paid for? >> again, on bankrupt records you are not going to see bribe to change this policy. you have to infer what is happening you have to take a look

>> i'm well, thanks. >> lawrence:. >> sean: let me go to the letter that you and chuck grassley wrote to the ag, very clear on what you say a legally protected highly credible whistle blower and that it came to your attention, and grassley's attention, that the doj, the fbi, possess an unclassified form, an fd 10 23 very 23 form that describes an alleged criminal scheme involving then vice-president biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions. what can you tell us, congressman comer? >> well, senator grassley and i have both reviewed that discloser. we find it very credible. we are very concerned. we have a lot of questions as to whether or not the fbi even looked into this. we know from your previous reporting that you've already stated on the show that they turned a blind eye to anything pertaining to joe biden, and they just assumed the worst when they look into anything that pertains to former president trump. so we're very concerned about this. and i'll tell you why, sean. as you know i possess bank records from the biden family now and the

our attorneys are dealing with his attorneys, and chuck grassley's actually the lead person in this.s a close relationship with the whistleblower. so, you know, the fact that senator grassley's involved, someone who's spent a career of building relationships with whistleblowers, protecting whistleblowers and protecting the institution says a lot that the fbi would basically tell chuck grassley to go fly a kite. [laughter] david: and final question for you, congressman, is -- have any of the other members of the team that this whistleblower says have all been eliminated from the investigation, have they spoken to you? is it still just this one whistleblower you're listening to, or have there been others who have come to you about particular incident? >> well, with respect this one, i've just heard from one representative of the whistleblower, one attorney. so right now i'm dealing with one, but grassley may be dealing with more. look, this is a wide-ranging investigation. there are a lot of committees of jurisdiction involved in some different aspect. you've got jason smith with ways

howard: republican senator chuck grassley told fox news that he's looking into an accusation of possiblevity when joe biden was vice president related to his son hunter biden. he and bop congressman -- gop congressman jim comber have is -- james comer have is asked fbi to turn over classified document. >> this is the yet another whistleblower who fingers biden as the head of a corrupt political family. >> also stunning, i would argue more stunning, the republicans making this claim admit they have no evidence, just an unverified tip. howard: mollie, i don't see any problem with the lawmakers asking for this document, but until they've got it, should journalists play up these vague accusations? >> i don't know, should journalists have pushed the russia collusion hoax for four years based on unsupported -- >> you did have a special prosecutor there. >> there should be a special prosecutor on the biden family business already, but once the media are hysterical at the level of four years of winning awards for pushing stories about a russia collusion hoax, then we can talk about whether it's

has. >> you couldn't findwo a report who could tell you that chuck grassley has ever lied to themte about somethinllg, whereas we'v just been through five years of all of us democrat voters, everybody being lied to by all these democrats in electedo the officials who were supposed to blaste the last line of defem protecting citizens fromru a runaway federal government o there. they're lying on behalf of thefm and doing what they can to protect this government against the citizens. and that's really messed up.i d' and i you know, i don't know what the answer is . >> i don't know how we get tos a better place. but this is nuts. >> it's nuts. there are lies. there are lies. and then there's the biden doj right now. and what they're willing to do across the spectrum to cover up for the big guy, charlie hurt.d miranda devine, thank you both for joining us . >> all right. now we turn to another disturbing development from your federal government. yeah, we'll cheeour you up a little bit more . three weeks after twitter files, journalist matt taibbiosd exposed the government's collusion wit

maybe you don't like chuck grassley but nobody would say chuck -- you could not find a reporter that would tell you grassley lied to you about something. we have been through five years being lied to by the democrats and elected officials who were supposed to the last line of defense to protect supports from a run away federal government. they are lying on behalf of them and doing what they can to protect this government. that's messed up. i don't know what the answer is. this is nuts. >> pete: it is nuts. there are lies and the biden doj covering up. charlie and miranda, thanks for joining us. we turn on to another disturbing development from your federal government. three weeks after twitter files journalist exposed the government's collusion with big tech, the irs opened an investigation into his tax returns on christmas eve on a saturday. the same day taibbi was set to testify in front of congress irs agents visited him at his home. here with reaction the author of "trial of the century" gregg jarrett and pam bondi. once maybe a coincidence. twice the same guy releasing dangerous

, he is arrogant, he doesn't answer questions and remember the time where he left early, told chuck grassley he had business to attend to and got on the fbi jet, which he treats as his private plaything and flew off to the adirondacks. >> the court revealed the fbi had been misusing that surveillance tool that i would argue is essential and nece necessary. it is probably time for it to go. if they are abusing that power. if you remember the first story i did, unraveling russian collusion. the fbi has only augmented the amount of abuses. they say they take corrective action but the problems keep getting worse. there is no reason to be deterred. they never really get punished. the only way they will get punished is if someone takes a big chunk of their budget. >> i enjoyed the story about hunter about the latest child support hearings. took a private jet that could have cost as much as six months of payments to the child, the grandchild of joann jill biden, the one they refuse to acknowledge as their own grandchild. if i were a judge in arkansas, i might take note of that. >> it came at a bad

chuck grassley also runs likenet seven miles a day anyway, right?ob msup next, the social mg claims another victim after falsely smearing a nurse as a o racist, karen, for fighting over a bike. make rowlings take me where they put your start your day with nature. >> the number one pharmacist recommended vitamin and supplement bran. >> this is annie. she started a school for docs but had trouble getting a loan. she needed to grow smart biz loans. .com found them a bank which got an sba loan with a great rate. >> it was fast. it was easy. they were super nice. and i got the loan apply today at smart biz loans, .com for every purpose, for every cash , every sold, for every season. there's a ram now during the ram memorial day sales we' event, get ten percent below event, get ten percent below msp on the 2023 ram 1500. do you ever worry we'll live forever now? i my mind. what if i liveco to likeuld tota one hundred thirty five years of being retired? i don't want to outlive our money. our money. rted wor're ableget all ouyou ie stupid. stupid. i totally

have already a whistleblower who came forward to the fbi and exposed the connection to biden and chuck grassley the documents, it is reliable. that is in. that is information a nonpolitical doj and fbi would have utilized to expose what may be one of the greatest episodes of corruption our government has seen in history of the this country. mark: yet the fbi, christopher wray, who strikes me as either way over his head one of the dumbest guys to be fbi director or controlled by his un underlings. on the take by foreign governments. last time i checked fbi is not in the constitution. but congress has an oversight role, not a phony demand for tax returns, as you said, a whistleblower came forward. putting their year on the lineclear on the line, said -- kre career on the line, and they'd there is a document you need to see, when we come back. we'll p pursue this f further. we'll be right back. mark: welcome back america. we're here with brett tolman, former u.s. attorney for state of utah. what you say is convincing. if you were a u.s. attorney, you would have brought a case. and work worked that

the hearing itself as being a partisan affair, republican senators like lindsey graham, like chuck grassley said they hope the court will impose beefed-up ethics standards upon itself. they said they will not support some of these pieces of legislation that democrats are offering in the senate that would impose it on the court but that they did hope the justices would impose stricter requirements on themselves. and in saying that, they are going farther than what chief justice roberts has said himself. because in that letter he sent to the committee that you read from a woman ago, a chief justice tried to convince everyone the existing standards are enough. they had a three-page letter signed by the justices saying these are the rules we look to and try to follow even though none of them are binding. so he said we have discovered, don't worry about it. here are all the citations of the existing authorities we refer to that will have to make judgment calls. republicans joined democrats yesterday saying we hope the court goes further. now we are not arguing about whether more should be done b

any escalation under circumstances is unnecessary and senator chuck grassley firing back saying he andave been more than patient with the fbi, failure to comply with constitutional oversight comes with consequences. he says congress must defend oversight perogative. comer joined hannitt, listen. >> he's given us the run around for three weeks, he's stalling. he says good faith effort. they have not even admitted they have a document. we will do everything to hold him accountable and not messing around. this is a credible accusation and we want answers. >> brooke: contempt of congress charge will resemble those brought against steve bannon and he was sentenced to four month says in prison. >> todd: bring in joe t joe con this is one document the fbi had years to sanitize for release. how bad does the fbi look here that it is willing to allow the director to be held in contempt to protect the biden family. >> joe: when you say years, we're talking five years, this investigation has been slow walked, as we heard from whistleblowers now. it is not like this is he said, she said thing, this

senator chuck grassley said the fbi failed to produce the specific document to provide accommodationour the judgment request indicates the document is real. christopher ray would not confirm or deny the existence of the document but says the fbi will work with the committee. stuart: take a look at this. m covering that report on the biden family members. the editor-in-chief of the washington examiner joins me now. here's my position was the media is again interfering in the election. what you say to that? >> there is comfortable in curiosity on the part of the media. we know this is been going on for a long time but the great majority of the news media side with democrats and the report you were just giving about the 51 intelligence officers downplaying or trashing the hunter biden laptop story deliberately to help the biden administration was played out by the media and the media used that to ignore the legitimate story. the news media are on the side of the democrats and will distort things. they are interested in the hearings that have revealed a network of biden family recipients

house committee oversight chair chuck comer and chuck grassley learned the fbi is in possession of at least one document that claim that biden and a foreign national were part of this bribery scandal. now, this revealed in a letter, the two republicans sent a notice to the department of justice demanding this record and answers about what, if anything, the fbi did to pursue the matter. now this record reportedly details an alleged deal that involved the exchange of money for policy decisions. >> we have credible information that this possible criminal activity took place, and i can't verify whether or not it's really a criminal activity, but i do did have faith in the whistle blowers that bring it to me, that this document exists. >> and you say that this whistle blower is very credible. >> well, i think you've got to go by what i have been able to expose from wrong doing by the fbi or the department of justice from various whistle blowers, that none of it has been refuted or contradicted. >> laura: grassley is very serious about these types of matters. not a fly by night. comer and g

>> it sure sounds like it and we are dealing with -- and this is true of chuck grassley and appears increasingly true about jim comer. these are serious guys. he has not been promising things he has not been able to produce. you know, this is not the same sort of circus that we have seen over the last couple years where everything gets politicized and then you have members of the congress lying about what they are going to produce. we shall see. but particularly interesting that you have jim comer warning doj not to pursue these much smaller charges against hunter biden before wednesday and it sort of suggests to me that the concern there is that comer thinks doj might actually go for these lower charges against hunter in order to distract from the much, much bigger charges against the entire biden family that hunter biden, of course, is sort of the ringleader of. but, it's -- you know, even that, it's not about hunter biden, per se, it's about joe biden, it's about the president who was vice president when these, all of these deals took place. >> sandra: so they are basically saying comer and g

now, if that's not enough, congressman james comer and senator chuck grassley are planning on toldingect to be a bombshell press conference tomorrow where we expect we are going to see some hard evidence that could show this thing goes all the way up to will joe biden. oversight chairman james comer joins us now with more. >> tomorrow american people are going to see actual bank records that show wire transfers from adversaries around the world into a web of llcs that were owned or controlled by the bidens and then those transfers were made back into the biden family accounts. so, this was one reason why the biden family received so many of the gank violations known as suspicious activity reports. the banks knew this wasn't normal business activity. we're going to see whether or not tomorrow, jesse, joe biden was telling the truth when he said that his family never received any money from china. we're going to see tomorrow whether or not joe biden knew about his family's business dealings, which we know that he said several times that he didn't. tomorrow is judgment day for the white

party supposed to respect whistleblowers legal protection so i think it's a nightmare to have chuck grassleyover this, and the movie that won the oscars everywhere all at once it seems we are at that moment now for the biden witt. >> there are questions about hunter biden. let's go the washington post headline, it says prosecutors nearing a decision whether to be charge hunt weather tax and gun related violations. according to people familiar with the matter . . . the biden family is corrupt. kevin. concerns about the possibility of charges for the first son? >> certain problematic but as i said during the situation with donald trump in that indictment nobody in this country is above the law or should be targeted because who they are with the law and i think what you've seen out thursday administration is an effort to restore the integrity of the justice department, the president has not fired any justice official has not removed any investigators including that state, that federal attorney investigating the president's son and i think the process needs to play out in a transparent and fairw

evidence of the fbi for six and a half years according to whistleblowers tha went to senator chuck grassleyoffice that then vice president joe biden corruptly took a form drive. for the last two and half years we have on loan from the new york post that the birds were correctly in the chinese and ukrainian payrolls. know we are learning it is a romanian payroll as well. yet what is the biden justin tobin fbi doing? they're going after a congressman, a backbencher congressman who's been in offic for four months >> ingraham: as i said earlier flying lying on your resume is federal offense joe biden is in trouble. all right, coyote the washingto examiner reported today the fbi refused to hand over -- went over your form allegedly of you color scheme involving then wen to the biden. then, issued a subpoena with a wednesday noon deadline. what kind of question is this pulskamp d1023? what reason with the fbi have t withhold that? from the oversight committee? why? >> yeah i kinda predict this in front they were going to do the classic opera it's an ongoing investigation cronkite excuse and we're

think this is a travesty and by the way, it is not just comer who is pursuing this, it's also chuck grassleyt for. we also have respect for comer but i mean this is an outrage against the american people and it's only one of many where the fbi has basically shrugged off its responsibility to pursue an unbiased law enforcement ajen dam i think it's shocking. i hope they bring in wray. i hope they do start consistent dreamt proceedings against him -- contempt proceedings against him. he deserves it. maria: so do i, greg. people are sick and tired of this what behavior from the fbi, interfering in elections, pursuing lies, we saw it with the russia collusion story, the hunter biden laptop, the twitter files, with people in government telling twitter to suppress truth and amplify lies. enough. >> you're right, maria. this continues to be a very big battle here and certain things are just very straightforward. you have a subpoena here, congress is entitled to the documentation a. yet the fbi is trying to withhold that information. so no one is above the law here and at the end of the day when you

comer, along with his colleague in the senate, republican senator chuck grassley, specifically want a form called an fd1023. it is from june 2020 and it lays out allegations from when biden was vice president. sources familiar with the specific form tell fox news that type of form simply memorializes and interview with a source. it doesn't mean something is correct or incorrect on that document. details of the document are limited. both comer and grassley admit they haven't personally seen the document in question. also tomorrow comer will hold a news conference to lay out the findings on the biden family and their business dealings. in addition to a hunter biden probe on capitol hill, we have to remember that probe that's going on here at the justice department that has been underway specifically with the u.s. attorney in delaware since at least 2018. multiple investigations. late last week the president once again defended his son, hunter. >> president biden: my son has done nothing wrong. i trust him. i have faith in him. enhances my presidency by making me feel proud of him. >> on

. >> harris: the president of grb strategies and senior coms advisor to chuck grassley. jonathan kott, former advisor to senator joe manchin and partner at capital counsel llc. i will toss to you first, garrett, with your view of desantis on the ground in new hampshire. >> i disagree with him there are three viable candidates for this race. there are only two viable candidates if you look at the polling. he is losing to president trump over the last 2 to 3 months by over 30 points. more people are jumping in the race, sununu thinking about getting in the race, chris christie, mike pence, tim scott is about to declare as well. he did an exploratory committee. not because they think ron desantis is doing well. he is polling closer to ramaswamy than to donald trump. that's a massive problem for him. in a recent poll, too, head-to-head versus joe biden in an abc poll donald trump is winning 49-42 and doubled the lead in the real clear politics average. talking points out of the desantis camp that somehow he would be more of a viable general election candidate is false if you

today fbi director christopher wray spoke with chairman james comer and iowa republican senator chuck grassleye. those two want fbi director wray to hand over an internal document they say will shed light into an allegation that then vice president joe biden was involved in a criminal scheme of some sort with a foreign national. comer is threatening to hold fbi director wray, who was appointed by trump, in contempt of congress if the fbi continues to refuse to comply with the subpoena. cnn's sara murray joins us now. sara, fbi director wray made quite the offer on the phone call. what did he say? >> reporter: according to sources familiar with the call, wray basically said he will allow james comer view this document that comer has been seeking. this is an accommodation we've seen other members of the administration make when it comes to other committees doing oversight on other things. we're also learning that comer basically told wray on the call, look, this doesn't mean we're not going to proceed with contempt. the view of comer is this is not the same, getting to view the document as havin

ashlee: richard shelby in particular and chuck grassley.rd shelby has always had a thing against new space. he is much more aligned with the traditional aerospace players. he fought quite hard to put blockades in front of space x before all of this happened. he would prefer, again i argue, he would prefer to see companies doing their thing and quite literally made life a living hell for pete when he was trying to do these projects. susan: so pete retired from nasa ames in 2015. has ames continued its entrepreneurial aspect with space after he left? ashlee: no, it is quite sad. nasa centers receive grants when they do these huge missions, may be something like sending a rover to mars. nasa does amazing things, and i think that is the kind of stuff should be doing. you don't hear a lot of day to day news about these nasa centers, it is almost these moments. nasa ames was the outlier. pete had turned this into a fascinating place. they have deals with google to lease real estate, to build young's like bluemoon and google mars. it was a very en
