a group of lawyers including former aides to senator chuck grassley, part of a constellation of groups facilitating gop investigations in congress. what led you to do this -- what led you to this story? guest: when one of the irs whistleblowers wants to come forward initially with his allegations about what he was seeing internally on this investigation, he knew that he might be potentially committing a felony, that these tax records are so secretive, you can't just give out somebody's tax returns, you can't just share tax information. he had to figure out a way to do this legally. he approached the former federal prosecutor he had worked with in the past, who is now in private practice. they needed someone who could help them get through the byzantine rules of congress, understand how to get this information to the hill legally. who better to do that then a former staffer for chuck grassley, who in some cases wrote the whistleblower statutes and understands the way congress works? there was this very technical process they had to go through. some had to be deputized as agents of congr

senator chuck grassley from iowa. we'll speak again. you were at the white house yesterday.ou were in the briefing room after all this went down and what was your impression of what you learned? >> we didn't get answers to a lot of questions. even the answers we got didn't really resolve the question that was asked talking about the shifting language around whether or not the president spoke with his son or in business with his son. i this i the biggest question that we still have is does the white house support a special counsel for this? as the senator was talking about, that 1023 and all the information there could potentially be part of the ongoing probe. the prosecution said charges might come in the future. >> bill: we are taking a step into another area not known. no one predicted yesterday. in a moment ukraine said to be ramping up its counter offensive. general jack keane will set with us on set and we'll talk to him where it stands now. >> dana: third party candidate sparking concerns the white house, could they encourage democrats to break from president biden? >>

senator chuck grassley released it in full.owa republican has been working alongside house oversight committee chairman james comer, as republicans deepen their probe into alleged corruption ahead of the 2024 election. while members on the oversight committee have already been able to review some of the information, this is the first time the entire document, which the fbi has called not credible, has been made public. joining me now is punch bowl cofounder, and msnbc political contributor, jake sherman, and rnc chairman, and current political analyst, michael steele, jake, what's senator grassley doing? >> it's a good question. you put the finer point that we all need to focus on here which is alleged. this is alleged. these are effectively notes, katy. notes from somebody who is making allegations, who is making claims about something that hunter biden might have, might not have done. this is in some ways, katy, this is like a really good encapsulation of where we are in american and congressional politics now. one side is go

we don't have to rely on chuck grassley or james comer's interpretation of it or adam schiff for thatatter. what new information, if any, can we glean from it? >> shannon: there is so much more detailed information here dates, times, people's names and locations of meetings. so, again, what democrats object to is they say this is one source who is unverified we haven't had a chance to run this down. but, according to the person who gave this information to the fbi, we have a lot more nuances exactly what conversations were happening. the allegations of what was said about the biden role here. democrats again they are saying it's unverified. republicans are running with. this it creates more problems than it solves. republicans say you heard senator grassley's explanation i want this thing out there to so that people can look at it not through any lens of anybody interpreting it but then just reading it for thenselves. >> gillian: i think the big question now for the government to answer for the justice department to answer is whether they ever investigated the claims made in this comp

senator chuck grassley sent the white house coms team into scramble mode, he drop said fd-1023 form, detailing how the bidens coerced burisma ceo to pay them millions to get rid of the ukrainian prosecutor investigating the company in 2016. the fbi interview detailed inside was highly credible source who said burisma hired hunter biden to protect the u.s. through his dad from all kind of problems. i'll let joe biden explain next. >> president biden: i said, you're not getting a billion dollars, i'll be leaving here, i think six hours, i'm leaving in. six hours, if prosecutor is not fired, you are not getting the money. - got fired. >> laura: someone got money. joining me now is jonathan ec turleyei, fox news contributor. after receiving information from the fraud, christopher steele, fbi filed for surveillance.iall after this, no such move, essentially just dropped it. very interesting. >> jonathan: right. it is interesting, the fascinating thing about thisy story, it gets worse by the day. onine of the more interesting r things we saw in recent weeks in was bill barr being interview

explosive new allegations against president biden, senator chuck grassley releasing an fbi informantwhich alleges that the president and his son, hunter, coerced a burisma ceo into paying them $5 million apiece to get a ukrainian prosecution investigating the company fired. the file also revealed burisma hired hunter to protect them through his father and that the executive was pushed into paying the bidens. prior to the 2020 election, biden said he was never investigated for his work with burisma. watch this. >> and there was no investigation going on at burisma and that prosecutor we fired should have been fired, period. maria: miranda divine's latest column in the new york post titled the joe biden bribery allegations need a special counsel now. joining me now is the p woman herself, columnist and fox news contributor miranda divine. it's great to see you. thanks very much for being here. of course, we've been talking about that what's app post for a couple of weeks now, which was revealed in that same form where hunter biden is telling his counterpart, you know, i'm sitting here

then we get chuck grassley, some of the republicans, now it is the law of the land.ost: that sounds like textbook of what you were trying to achieve. guest: it is. i often use the example of senator booker visiting oklahoma and center and half visiting new jersey as an example of seeing how another constituency lives. that is a metaphor for how we can do this better. we think of congressional delegations visiting foreign countries, but over breaks a person who represents a majority republican district or democrat will return to those counties, that district. just the perimeter as opposed to visiting another state. they are bringing life to this concept every day, often folks on the hill will point to micro-examples of bipartisanship , how they forge empathetic learning and understanding and deliberation. there can be more high-profile instances, i often fantasized in conceiving this idea of the late senator mccain and retired senator lacey, waking up with them every morning, seeing their dog, cat or other animal, watching you or colleagues. seeing day in and day out,

i found out about this because yesterday in the middle of the night chuck grassley gave a speech, a passionateech, about 15 minutes. he brings up this 1023 form and he says the reason why he is giving the speech because national whistleblower day is thursday. >> ainsley: there day for everything. >> lawrence: there is a day for everything. i learn something new for congress you always learn about new days. he talks about this 1023 form and he talks about wray not handing over this letter until he found out that chuck grassley had already seen the letter. so i am interested to see how this is going to play out. but it is something that christopher wray was so protective of this certain document threaten not just because they have oversight but saying christopher wray, i already know the contents of this letter. you better release it or i'm going to haul you over. >> steve: right. historically the 1023 is never released because it's just a work product of the agent or agents who took the thing. usually it's another form that winds up in the public venue. >> ainsley: the first, house republicans

the form was released by senator chuck grassley today.s after two irs whistle-blowers came forward with allegations that federal officials interfered with the hunter biden investigations. kimberly strassel a wall street journalist and she is here in washington today, not alaska. a wonderful surprise. >> but it's great to be here on set. >> john: here it is. this is the big prize. this is 4 fd 21023. chuck grassley's office released it a little while ago. i guess he said, look this is not classified and i will put it out there. here is what it says in part according to a confidential human source, "they, and this has buries men, hunter biden to protect us through his dad with all kinds of problems. it cost $5 million to pay one biden and $5 million to another biden. "confidential source, who was the founder of burisma might have difficulty explaining suspicious wire transfers to elicit payments to the bidens. he responded he did not see funds to "the big guy." you have read through this. what do you think? >> even though we had not seen th

maria: this comes as iowa republican senator chuck grassley released an fbi document this week alleging hunter biden coerced the ceo of burisma to pay them for getting the ukrainian prosecutor who was investigating the energy company fired. the fbi document claims that that burisma's vino told the confidential human source that it cost $5 million to pay one biden and another $5 million to pay the other biden. joining me right now in a "sunday morning future" exclusive, congressman jim jordan. mr. chairman, thanks very much for being here this weekend. >>ed good to be with you, maria. maria: explosive hearings this week. can you take a step back in what was most important in terms of what you've learned from these whistleblowers and this testimony. >> well, yeah, i do think if you step back, there's sort of three fundamental questions here, maria. the first was what were the bidens doing to get the money. 20 different shell companies, 9 different bidens, what was the service, the product, the value they had? the only logical explanation is it was access to then-vice president biden. the

when senator chuck grassley asked about the case, garland testified the united states attorney has been advised he has full authority to bring cases in other districts if he needs to do that. he's been advised that he should get anything he needs. after the october 7th redline meeting, there was no way to reconcile the statements, his office's actions, with attorney general garland's public testimony. i am 100% certain of what delaware and the district attorney's office did in california. "the new york times" reported and has independently confirmed the charges brought in california if you're plenty of other witnesses are familiar with these facts in addition to those who witnessed weiss' private admission. i encouraged him to tell the truth about what he heard. although these facts contradict the testimony and raise serious questions, i have never claimed to have evidence that he knowingly lied to congress. whether attorney general garland knew his testimony was false it is for you and the inspector general's to determine, not me. the same is true for weiss' three letters to congress.

chuck grassley last week released that fbi document known as the 1023.e heard from my friends in congress that apparently the republicans in the house are planning to use that 1023 form as the basis to impeach joe biden. and that is why kevin mccarthy came as close as he has talked to the i word about this president last night with sean. watch this. >> we now have some of the most credible whistleblowers. these 10-year irs agents who have come forward, said that the biden family has been treated differently, that what weiss has told us is different than what garland and weiss has told the public. you are sitting here today where now you have found millions of foreign money just with the 1023 alleges they did to biden's family. now we have found it has funneled through shell companies. this is living to the level of impeachment inquiry which provides congress the strongest power to get the rest of the knowledge and information needed. because this president has also used something we have not seen since richard nixon, used the weaponization of government

a court killing machine during thursday's hearing republican senators john kennedy and chuck grassley accuse democrats of trying to punish the conservative-leaning court. this could be abused. >> to disqualify justices. what could possibly go wrong? chief justice john roberts acknowledged the court can do more to comply with its current ethics code. and in a letter to senators all 9 justices reaffirmed their commitment to those rules. however, democrats say that's simply not enough. >> the bill will next head to the floor for a full senate vote in washington. raquel martin. >> in alabama, police say they have no evidence to support the claim of a nursing student who says she was abducted after stopping to help a toddler wandering on a highway. investigators say carly russell vanished in the 5 minutes. it took officers to respond to her call her car and belongings were still at the scene. 2 days later, russell showed up at home claiming she'd been kidnapped by a man who came out of the woods. she had a minor injury to her $100 under sock during their initial search. police found what t

relations with pro whistle blower legislators on capitol hill, especially people like senator chuck grassley for example. um, have they reached out to you to discuss these issues and have they, if they have reached out to you, have they offered to put you in touch with members of congress who may not be sitting on the oversight committees, but would be sympathetic to the information that you have yes, and i think the biggest benefit that we've garnered from the relationship between myself and the end of you see and in some champions in congress is looking at it through uh, contrasting with civilian whistleblower law, especially in the uh, securities regime. fcc wise and so with uh, is it frank, dot, uh the name eludes me now, but there is, there is a, an act which incentivizes in a way, whistle blowers to come forward in the financial sector. right? to the tune of, if there are sanctions that whistleblower is by law, are required to receive at least 10 percent and sometimes up to 50 percent of those sanctions. that's right. and the take away from that, in contrast with the military and espec

chuck grassley said the bribery allegation may not be true. edwards seems like the only honest republican on the oversight committee said that president biden hasn't been implicated. then you look at someone like jim comer, who should stop doing interviews. he was on ted cruz podcast and ted says what's going on here. he says biden has been selling access and ted cruz says how do you know that. jim says if you study joe biden, like i have, he's always been cash strapped. okay. that means that you took $10 million from ukrainians. also this controversy about the ukrainian presidenter that was fired, this story has been gone over a million times. that prosecutor was removed by the entire western community, by the prime minister of the uk, french, germans, the ims, senate republicans supported removing him because the guy was not investigating corruption. it ended up hurting him to remove victor from his position. you'll say or won't be allowed. >> i haven't interrupted you. >> i'm saying what will come. >> did you want to order the appetizers? i

documented allegations of bribery from a trusted human source has been released thanks to senator chuck grassley. its contents are devastating. we are going to break it down for you with john solomon, who will join us in a moment. before we dig deeper, remember this very important thing. this is not a story about hunter biden. it is not about jim biden. it is about the big guy himself, joe biden, a corrupt, career politician who is accused of public corruption on a scale this country has never seen before and having top officials covering for him. simultaneously going after his number one opponent, which we will also get to. this may sound complicated. it is not. the fbi and the doj did not want the house oversight committee to see the 1023 form documents about several conversations between a oil giant in ukraine and a confidential source beginning in 2015. this source, they called a chs, was previously paid hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars by the fbi for other information he gave them. clearly the fbi believed he was a credible source. his documented by this 1023 f form. they paid

that is one part of this unfolding saga, last week senator chuck grassley released fd 1023 summary of human source reporting that ukrainian oil and gas company burisma paid hunter and joe biden each $5 million in bribes. today "the federalist" reports the pittsburgh fbi office corroborated several details, among those pittsburgh office obtained travel records for the confidential human source and confirmed the locales detailed in the document, including kyiv, vienna, austria and london, despite pittsburgh fbi providing the delaware office with summary of the findings, to date, it appears the delaware office did zilch to investigate. joining me is john ratcliffe, former director of intel. john, the delaware prosecutors ignoring what seems to be critical information provided to them in these fbi documents and corroborating details and travel schedules, what do you make of this? >> john: folks in delaware and the doj should hope that reporting is not true. if it is, laura, there is no excuse. start with the fact the 1023 came from what was described as highly credible fbi source to begin

chuck grassley has done an enormous service to the country by highlighting these problems but this istage donald trump. he's right in that republicans need to go after president biden and do what they can to do what the media refuses to do. but this is vintage donald trump because this is why a lot of people love him so much, he takes an opportunity, in partisan politics, nobody ever goes after its own team and it is what so many americans hate. donald trump never misses an opportunity to go after his own team and urge his own team to do better, to do more. republicans hate it. it is why republicans in washington hate him but in engenders so much enthusiasm and loyalty from his supporters. stuart: he has a legal calendar that's very crowded. will those proceedings, legal problems increases base? >> yes. the short answer is absolutely it will but he's like teflon don. never seen anybody who takes more hits than this guy and turns it around to his strength and even in this case, indictments, the idea that you would have court cases and threats of jail time hanging over, any normal polit

the 10 th 23 revealed by chuck grassley, they never saw that. joe: people made this distinction between the legality in the political application but first thing at play isn't that hunter biden forgot to put income on his taxes. the accusation, it was a scheme to hide the income because of where the income was coming from and why. it was less about paying taxes and more where the money was coming from to begin with, and the other side is this david wise conundrum they are in. if you listen to the whistleblowers, david wise wants to prosecute and go further and is told at some point he can't. if you listen to merrick garland that's not the case. bringing wise in, it is less what he would have to say and more discerning why he is saying it. rachel: it's where the money came from but where this shows the money went as well. they are afraid this tied to president biden as well. joe: i don't trust grown men the carry backpacks. am i wrong on that? it seems like he has outgrown the backpack. joe: are you of a fanny pack guy? pete: i could be. rachel:

last week senator chuck grassley released that now infamous fd 1023 summary of a confidential human sourceseporting that the ukrainian oil and gas company burisma each paid joe biden $5 million in bribes. today the federalist reports that the pittsburgh fbi office had corroborated several of those details. among those the pittsburgh office obtained travel records for the confidential human source and those records confirm that the source had traveled to the local detailed in that document including kyiv, ventriclena, austria and london but despite the pittsburgh fbi providing the delaware office with a summary today it appears that the delaware office did zilch to investigate. joining me now john ratcliffe former congressman, former trump director of national intel delaware prosecutors ignoring what seems to be critical information provided in fbi documents and corroborating details and travel schedules. what do you make of this? >> well, all those fo folks in delawares in the fbi and department of justice should hope that that report something not true, because, if it is, laura, there is l

investigation, our committee became aware through whistleblower disclosures provided to senator chuck grassley that the fbi had an unclassified record that details and extortion and bribery scheme involving then vice president biden and a burisma executive. this record was generated by a confidential human source that the fbi has used over a decade. it -- with a burisma executive complaint that he paid joe biden $5 million in exchange for certain actions. the burisma executive told the confidential human source that he didn't pay the, quote, big guy, and quote. directly, but that he used so many black accounts that it would take ten years to unravel. now that sounds an awful lot like how the biden family conducts business, using multiple bank accounts to hide the source in total amount of the money. today, we have to brave incredible whistleblowers who have risked their careers to come forward and provide testimony. thank you all for being here today. i know it was not an easy decision. their testimony about the doj, the fbi, and irs investigation of hunter biden confirms the committee's findi

. >> david weiss got another letter to him from senator chuck grassley about an fbi 1023 form. an fbi 1023 form contains an allegation from a source a standard source form. the allegation may be true, may be not. grassley has see a 1023 possessed by the fbi that includes an allegation then vice president job took a bribe from a foreign country. the white house denied the allegation. david weiss said yesterday the 1023 form is still part of an active investigation. i asked a spokesperson for weiss what that means because the hunter biden probe seems to be ending with a plea deal coming up in a couple weeks. i was told the letter speaks for itself. gary shapley also says that one of weiss' deputies, lisa wolf nixed plans to look at a guest home on the president's problem where hunter biden stayed. he said he stopped the plan due to optics. according to shapley, the decision was whether the juice was worth the squeeze. she was named 53 times in shapley's testimony. again, hunter biden appears before a federal judge that may or may not accept this plea deal on july 26 in delaware. m

the deadline comes as senator chuck grassley reveals irs investigators were not allowed to attend a briefing on the bidens saying in a letter, quote: irs whistleblowers have affirmed that assistant u.s. attorney leslie wolf prevented investigators from seeking information about joe biden's v in business arrangement. yankee slugger aaron judge will face first all star game in two years after tearing a ligament in his toe last month. the patriotic star also explaining why he sings god bless america before games every time i see a soldier or marine or policeman or firefighter i say thank you. i can't thank them all so i do it by singing there will still be plenty of stars out in seattle tomorrow for the all-star game. can you catch it at 8:00 p.m. eastern on fox. >> ratings up across baseball. will this is a big year. >> ainsley: still get tickets. i was just looking a ticket $284. that looks like the lowest. >> steve: it's in seattle. >> ainsley: we have viewers that might be up. >> 3:00 a.m. there. >> 4:16. thank you very much, ashley. piers morgan said last week. apparently baseball is borin

these two allegations come from an unclassified fbi document made public by iowa senator chuck grassley a document ziegler says he was barred from seeing. >> i had never seen that document before. i had never seen the 1023. the reason why the 1023 might have been important is that can further validate some other evidence that we are trying to prove in the case. that is why all information is necessary. especially for that lead irs case agent you have. >> arthel, net of the fbi document can be verified. although some said about the same thing about the steele dossier. that former president donald trump for many years. recall donald trump was impeached after asking ukraine a president to investigate the biden's over these same bribery allegations. now, some republicans say they want payback. >> the substance of the allegation and you also have the obstruction by the fbi into the investigation of hunter biden. >> that is an impeachable offense. that is quid pro quo low that is influence peddling and that is bribery precooked as it your essence of a two-tier justice system we have going on

really on the back foot whistleblowers and material particularly what chuck grassley brought out yesterdayre so damning and so convincing and leading all in one direction that they have to either lie or destroy the messenger con distant stories about donald trump. >> laura: miranda, the irs whistleblower spoke to our own shannon bremen last hour about leslie wolf. remember, she is the prosecutor in delaware who is accused of obstructing the investigation into hunter biden. listen to what joseph ziegler said. >> our really first big disagreement would have been related to the storage unit. the search warrant related to the storage unit. when i found out that she told defense counsel that we knew about the storage unit and that the records request included that, i just knew that we weren't -- it just -- it was kind of like a shot to the gut. we didn't have a seat at the table. that was really a defining moment for me. >> well, meranda, it certainly sounds like a prosecutor giving a heads up making sure the defendant has ha heads up. >> i think joseph ziegler and his gary shapley are real her

among republicans, senator chuck grassley.s both parties, all members are 80 years old or older. doug collins, former republican congressman from georgia. isaac divine, former obama campaign advisor, sarah get and former democratic candidate for mayor of columbia, south carolina. great to see you both. this is a difficult conversation. each of us is going to age differently. if you have a contribution to make it, you want to make it. >> i agree, and this is not a partisan issue. we have seen these come up with both senator mcconnell, and senator feinstein. the senator feinstein one concerns me greatly as well. it's sad, because i think this time, the staff knows what's happening. the family knows what's happening. she has had a great career. i may have disagreed with her a lot on policy, but she had a great career. to see it end like this is heartbreaking. mitch mcconnell, a talk -- he was out of the senate for a while. we had that episode yesterday. he does seem to come back on like dianne feinstein who seems to not be coming

. >> jessica: i am just saying and chuck grassley has been clear about this on ron johnson, when pushedonsible anchors, that they do not have it yet. they are working on it, that is what kevin mccarthy is doing commode doing the we are working on it, but what he is not telling the viewers is 18 republicans were elected in democratic districts who are not going for an impeachment so you are not going to get it. and also, just quickly on dana's point about what peter baker pointed out, democrats will remind you of this, "the new york times" was responsible for getting hillary email server scandal out there and uranium one, so it is not like we think -- >> jeanine: coming out with -- they had the laptop. >> jessica: what i am saying is "the new york times" does not help democrats all the time here at >> greg: all right, they are yelling at me. they are yelling at me. who are they? i don't know if he. >> dana: weird, i never met them. up next, cnn suddenly discovers america's out-of-control crime crisis. ♪ ♪ i was told my small business wouldn't qualify for an erc tax refund. you should get

ago back when i still have all around here and was working for then financial chairman, senator chuck grassley across the aisle. a good man from iowa who recognize this and believed talked with your predecessor about how dangerous this could be. in fact, in 2004 he proclaimed that that would be the end of seem to execution of treats for many retirement plan investors. so mister chair, it is my understanding that swing prices currently adds an option for funds used today, isn't it true that no funds have utilized swing since the authorization in 2016? >> well, i would have to get back to you, i think that it has had limited use at most. >> the answer is no. if no funds have found it worthy why would the fcc mandated? >> it is really to address the systemic risk issues, and it voluntary system to do something to protect the overall system, sometimes does not work as well as when you actually have to -- >> i believe that is your perspective but we have had so many folks who have told us the opposite and i hope you would be open to hearing them, or providing feedback, comment, overwhelmingly it se

chuck grassley said that there were tapes and what would be very interesting as the connectivity betweenlegation and joe biden it, we note that when you laid it out, but if there is indeed takes and conversations with joe biden name on it. that is the kind of connectivity that gets to the ballot box. that is the connection that equals the corruption in the minds of those independent voters that are out there in wisconsin, pennsylvania, and michigan that can make a big difference. joe biden had a terrible week this week. he cannot get his message straight on biden now makes. his polling is still upside down with recent polling showing that american people saying that we are on the wrong track with the economy and it is the number one issue while he is out there spiting. they have cornell west who is well-known running as a green party candidate -- got a note labels for tuition and they have got three entities swimming in the same democrat pond, and on top of it all you laid out what could be a growing cancer that if this connectivity is there with his voice, has been alleged, and who know
