it's unclear if they provided information james comber wanted. getting the logs seems unlikely. they don't keep that kind of information. also, the secret service did not actively monitor joe biden's house from 2017 -- middle of 2017 until about 2020 when he became the presumptive democratic nominee so there will not be information that the republicans want. there are other communications they are seeking including from the white house which is indicating that it will talk in good faith with comber about trying to get some of the information that he is seeking on these matters. the question though is if it does not -- if the republicans don't get what they want, what do they do next? some are threatening subpoenas. will we see what we saw in the trump years? democrats battling with the trump administration went to court, trying to get information, sometimes successful, sometimes leading to lengthy, protracted court fights. that is still a possibility here as the new house republican majority presses ahead. manu raju, cnn, capitol hill. >>> ukraine's deputy defense minister has r

meanwhile, comber made another request yesterday asking the secret service for information about who letter, comber called on the agency to turn over all documents and communications related to visitor information from january 20th, 2017 through to the present day. earlier this moshgs the secret service made it clear it does not maintain the logs of the president's private home as customary for presidents of both parties. comer reported to a statement where they said the group does generate some records for individuals who may come in contact with the first family. the secret service responded last night saying it was reviewing comer's latest request. this comes amid a series of challenges facing incoming white house chief of staff jeffrey zients. among our favorite canadians, josh wingrove joins us. let's talk about the documents. news came over that ron klain is departing administration. jeffrey zients is coming n how much of his time in the white house, the president's time, is going to be occupied by this growing documents issue? >> i think they're going to try to hope to minimiz

james comber is hoping to put joe biden under the hot seat. he has sent over 200 letters to groups requesting information on classified documents provided in president's home and undermining president biden's -- hunter biden's -- at the southern border. tomorrow they will be hosting former twitter executives on the block on hunter biden's laptop. and wednesday the panel will look into race -- waste fraud around federal covid funds. chairman comber has also pledged to investigate covid-19, and last year spiking gas prices among a number of things it is an ambitious agenda. the role of the bird -- republican kentucky -- kentucky republican representative -- chairman comber has pushed back saying democrats have not done enough to investigate the federal government. noting that they gave the panel and f in oversight hearings. he says that nothing will be on oversight stationary unless it is available. please welcome me in welcoming chairman comber to the national press cup -- club. rep. comer: thank you for the invitation to be here. i am a big fa

they didn’t find anything, all the organic combers weren’t found, but they drowned professionally alone. how are you crying? how are these fakes created? and by whom? why on they should not be responded to without serious evidence. do you agree that you want to speak unproven, let's talk, but the facts on the table are important to understand that if we do not see something, this does not mean that it does not exist. what is a new value, and why they are being imposed on us by a strong enemy, not vygan, who thinks the same or this is something else, we will collect evidence, consider different versions and show a contradiction in the project. this is different. watch in new releases on belarus 24 tv channel. our land through the eyes of foreigners to belarus has a very respectful attitude towards belarusian goods in russia. and in the place where i lived it was always such a standard of quality, i remember well how we arrived in minsk, left minsk, i liked minsk very much. i think it's great. cool. so, lida will probably be the same as they ended up in our country. and why did they stay

take a listen to congressman comber. >> look. he's a -- he's a bad guy. this is something that, you know, it's really bad. he's not the first politician unfortunately to make it to congress to lie. you know, it's pretty despicable, the lies that he told, but at the end of the day, it's not up to me or any other member of congress to determine whether he can be kicked out for ly lying. if he broke campaign finance laws, then he will be removed from congress. >> you heard there from a powerful member of the conference. he chairs the house oversight committee and he said he hasn't even introduced himself to santos. so even those lawmakers like comer who aren't explicitly calling for santos to resign suggest they have very little appetite to work with him, which of course, can make things difficult on political. i would say a space to watch is an organizing strength of residents in the district. they continue to be fired up about this. >> we will certainly watch it. i know you will too, eva mckend there for us from washington. thank you. >>> amy stoddard is t

. >> james comber, who is the new house oversight chairman, said this is a further concern there is a two-tiered justice system. we don't know that. the question is what this leads to, what the documents were, how it is handled, but there are legitimate questions that the biden administration needs to answer on this. and it also comes at a time when the situation for merrick garland, the attorney general, just got a lot more complicated. even though there is a special counsel handling the trump mar-a-lago documents, doesn't this optics-wise and just process-wise complicate things for him? >> one thing i'm hoping the media sort of has learned a lesson from the hillary clinton investigation and the emails on the server and sort of how the media would run with that in terms of comparing candidates, right, and saying this is the same thing. president trump, the former president, is in trouble because of obstruction. because he took the documents and because he fought the whole way in terms of giving them back, okay. so and then saying i can declassify things just by thinking it. that's a

budget and the beginning of february will be a big time in congress because we have representative comber --comer who has announced two hearings that will begin. one will look at the border and one will look at the biden family business deals. this goes into the hunter biden laptop issue and what they believe our efforts to keep -- from big tech to keep information off sweater and sensor news stories --twitter and censor new stores. this will converge and we are awaiting an announcement from president biden on whether he will run again for reelection. that has not been announced yet but it is believed he will. you saw the exit of this former chief of staff. a lot of things are going on and a lot will happen in early february. we are watching to see how all of these things converge. it is an interesting backdrop that the president will be delivering his state of the union as these probes into his administration began. host: question for you via text. guest: that is a good point. this is an issue, bet in the last congress, they look at efforts on asian american hate and that has not really

joining me now is house oversight committee james comber. what's your response to the house statement that came out today? >> ian sams has no shame. give me break. this administration was quick to criticize president trump for having classified documents which he would argue weren't classified, but that's another case that will be determined on down the road. joe biden was quick to call trump irresponsible. joe biden claimed he would be the most transparent president in the history of america. once again, this is another example of how i can make a strong case that joe biden is at least the most intransparent president in america. the reason we know about these documents is because cbs had an investigative report their broke the story. the white house was never going to tell us. this was going to be another one of many cover-ups with joe biden, and we want simple questions to simple answers and this administration fights us every step of the way. >> a hundred percent they do. by the way, they have been gearing up these investigations since i

we have a representative comber who has announced at least two hearings that will begin the week of februaryk at the border. one look at biden family business dealings but this goes back what they believe our efforts with big tech keep information off twitter about the laptop censor news stories and the next day on february 7 president biden will deliver the state of the union address. this will all converge. we are also awaiting an announcement from president biden about whether he will run again for reelection. that is not been officially announced yet. it is believed he will. he saw the recent exit of the former chief of staff. a lot of things are going on, a lot of things will be happening in earlyua february. we are watching to see how all of those things converge. the state of the union probed while via text my question is if any asian americans on house committee is a chair the attacks on atapi committees that's a really good points. this is an issue really in the last congress using american hate. that is not really been seen as a priority in this new congress. there are some members

i absolutely do. >> reporter: comber wants to introduce bipartisan information to tighten ethics lawsttee's first priority is the bidens. important to know there is tho prove the president has done anything illegal. we sent the white house a series of questions. in response the white house sent us this statement, the president has pledged to restore ethics to the white house and has established the most rigorous ethics guidelines of any house in history. no family member will serve in the administration or be involved in government decision making. cnn, washington. >> excellent deep dive there, pamela brown. >>> huge upset at the australian open while you were sheleeping while raphael nadal crashes out. what happened? >> big upset. a record extending 23 grand slam title coming to an end quickly overnight when he was eliminated by unseeded american mackenzie mcdonald. nadal struggled with an apparent hip injury which caused him to pull up midway through the second set. 35-year-old. he was able to continue after a medical time-out. this is only the second time he's exited the australian

house oversight chairman james comber is demanding answers. we'll tell you what he wants from the white house as he plans to congressional investigation. plus, parts of california seeing a new round of treacherous weather. flood watches in effect. president biden approved a declaration after storms ravaged the state killing 19 people. cnn is live on the ground in northern california. in a moment. first though, we begin with the discovery of the five additional pages of classified material at president biden's home in delaware. paula reid and our senior white house correspondent is with me this morning. paula, first to you. what is the latest on the five pages? >> on the five pages were discovered among previously disclosed documents uncovered at the president's wilmington residents. they thought it was just one page. but then someone with the proper clearance started going through them, they discovered it was six pages. now we have 20 documents with classified markings found at two different locations connected to the president. over the weeke

congressman comber, we talk about the raid over the weekend and what happened friday but what is the takeaway for you? the fbi asked to go in and valued lawyers asked to stay and look? >> the biggest takeaway is i still don't leave the doj, fbi are taking this seriously. we learned that initially they just took the president's personal attorney's word that there were no further documents. at the very least, this should put to bed whether president biden's attorneys actually know the extent of his responsibility, or they are not being truthful with the doj. they need to take this very seriously. i think any premise where the president has spent any amount of time needs to be searched. i wouldn't rule out searching anywhere where certain relatives of the biden family, we know has been involved in influence peddling schemes. i wouldn't rule out looking at their locations, which this is a pattern and no one believes the documents delivered five to six different locations where they left the vice president's office. something bad is going on here. this is of the utmost important for docum

let's start with house oversight chair james comber and what you have deemed his two-prong strategy fories. one thing that kicked that off was, yesterday, james comber went to the national press club and had muted rhetoric when talking about the investigations he was going to launch. he reminded he was certified biden's election. he conceded in the hunter bden investigation, there might not be anything there. he wants to work on the keeping of classified documents, which has been in the news a lot. the split-screen moment is to compare that to the way he talks on fox news and newsmax, when he said hunter received gifts from the chinese. he said the biden administration can be compromised by the chinese influence. he's taken a different stripe on the news networks than when he is speaking in washington. if you look at the polling data, independents are not as enthused with many of the investigations, especially into the hunter biden situation, as hard-core republicans. republicans, now they're in power and in the majority, they want to keep the majority and don't want to go too far as th

. >> reporter: house oversight chair james comber wasting no time into its probe on the biden family. >> i want to be clear, this is an investigation of joe biden and that's where the committee will focus. >> reporter: comber demanding financial records and testimony from former twitter executives after they temporarily suppressed a story about hunter biden and his laptop. they want any communications between the white house and the refresh try. the kentucky republican said that former deals could compromise the president. >> what is the biden family business? joe biden was not truthful to the american people when he said he had no idea what his family was involved in. >> reporter: but that is merely an allegation, one the newly minted chairman has yet to prove. >> i have never talked to my son about his overseas deals. >> reporter: the bank reports don't necessarily indicate wrongdoing. financial institutions file millions annually. white house spokesman dismissed the gop moves as political moves in an effort to get attention on fox news. as republicans flex their new investigative p

combers object is . all right. congressman adam schiff thinks that you're interfererw do with these investigations. >> how do you respond to him? te adam schiff is the reason that congressional oversight has. a bad name?ne interfere i mean, no one interfered d wiwith investigations more thn adam schiff. adam schiff always overpromised and underdelivered. you know, every day i havei have to battle the lack ofbecaus credibility from congressional oversight because of adam schiff. so i adaschiff.f our adam schifd probably talk about something else. but att at the end of the day, l we're asking for is equall treatment here. wh y was mar-a-lago raided by the fbi? why the fbi go in and go through every room, including g barens room and melania's closet? why did the fbi take surveillance cameras from our mar-a-lago? but yet they haven't set foot,ak to our knowledge, on the premise of eithert the biden center for diplomacy or the biden set residence. in fact, after the special counsel was announced, we findl out that joe b

i do stand why congressman comber chairman of oversight i get what he's doing it because we don't have any information. doj just learned about it. fact it was the administration whenin they found these documens a few days before the midterm elections didn't tell the public about it. the public found out on accident when a reporter broke the news to much later. so i get the need and desire to get more information. because we just don't have it. and for five years these documents no when you anything, there's been no investigation. but now that there is hope for more information will, as budgets information can be shipped with the public in the coming weeks and months ahead. i'm and encouraged through the president is providing, he said he would reply to some of these letters and we look forward to receiving is responsive. >> also on the oversight committee our members like marjorie taylor green. we know what she has said. lauren boebert, we know some of the things she said. scott perry who's been w investigated. part of the investigation of january 6th. andy biggs, paul gosar. there's a

that means the house investigations jim jordan and comber and others are taking on a high level of newnce. that's not the only critical task facing the new majority. a debt ceiling showdown can taking center stage. the gop better be ready to hold their ground. the senator screwed over the country with the 1.7-billion dollars deal with hundreds of dollars for gender equity and the preserves of salmon. and half a billion dollars for border security in other countries and $3 million for be friendly highways. honeybees. it's time for the house to bring our budget under control and stop robbing our children and grandchildren blind. it can't come soon enough. big banks predict a resignation. the house market is tanking -- recession. we could be headed for serious financial turmoil. we come on set fox news contributor kellyanne conway. >> [cheers and applause]. >> sean: "fox and friends" co-host eve and gregg jarrett. good to see everybody. >> [applauding]. >> sean: i will give you a "hannity" football at the end of the show. i am throwing them out in the crowd. everyone is missing. i am not

the house oversight chairman james comber, one thing he wants to see is visitors logs from the white house for those people coming and going from president biden's home up in wilmington, delaware but the white house and secret service say those logs simply don't exist. the white house counsel's office noting that as has been the case with previous presidents, that the president's personal residence is personal. they don't keep tabs of who is coming and going from there. but this all comes as there are growing questions from this administration, not just about the handling of those classified documents but also for how they've revealed a lot of this information to the public. one of the president's top allies, former alabama senator doug jones telling our colleagues here that in many ways it's an unforced error, that they were not fully offering a complete picture of what exactly was known as the news came out over the past week. certainly these are questions that will continue to face this white house in the coming months. >> one of the things that the special counsel rob herr is goi

joimz comber said his goal was to ensure the goal's work is credible yet republicans are handing theof oversight to the most extreme maga members of the republican caucus. joining us now to predict what's going to happen is brendan book, former top aide to paul ryan and john boehner and msnbc political analyst. this is not your father's white house in terms of a republican takeover of a lower chamber. think back, if you could, to 2010 after the she lacking that president obama received. it felt like the general attitude was far less pugnacious than this one. what does that tell you about how this is going to play out in the advantage that democrats seem to have? >> yeah. i think the white house very clearly sees an opportunity here. i don't blame them. this is what i've been -- as a republican, this is what i've been worried about this whole time is that there's going to be republican overreach. you're going to have people with a big platform who are going to make the party look crazier than it already looked and going to play to joe biden's advantage. look this is what happened -- i

take a listen to james comber who is leading some of these investigations. >> we have his laptop anddence that he took millions and millions from china for influence peddling. what part of that revenue did joe biden earn joy? >> will this go anywhere? >> gop leaders don't want to impeach president biden but what they deal with is that they know they have a base thirsting for revenge. they hope to channel it to impeachment of secretary mayorkas. maybe enough to throw red meat to the base but even then again they can only lose four votes and unclear if the moderate wing goes with it. there's risk if they do that. >> the democrats for a second. we know about the squad. the folks aoc, ilhan omar, these are the progressives. there's a new class of incoming fresh men maybe making a squad but the democratic party is pretty united up until this point. will they flex the muscle in the new congress? >> this is the first time the members have been the minority so i think there's an effort to find the footing because this is a whole new world in the house minority. but that leadership team does

. >> republican james comber said they'll investigate why the classified items were found in mr. biden's former private office. cnn's phil mattingly has more on the developing story. >> reporter: president biden on the world stage but grappling with a serious problem back home. the high stakes leadership in mexico overshadowed by biden's handling of classified documents. ten classified documents discovered in november in a personal office no longer in use. among documents a source tells cnn, intelligence memos and topics involving ukraine, iran and the u.k. >> we want this to be a gathering place. >> reporter: at the university of pennsylvania biden center. the white house in a detailed monday night statement saying the white house counsel was immediately notified. the national archives recovered the materials, quote, the following morning. the justice department also notified triggering a review from u.s. attorney john lausch. the investigation has been completed and submitted to merrick garland without echos of the case tied to biden's predecessor. >> upholding the law means ap

comber says we're looking for equal treatment, that's all we're looking for.s good this is in the hands of special counsels on both sides and the special counsels are both trustworthy lawyers who i think will get to the bottom of it. >> president biden didn't address the scandal during a trip to atlanta on sunday. instead, he rallied supporters of a church where civil right's icon martin luther king jr. once preached. and he delivered a message about social justice and democracy. >> reporter: president joe biden became the first sitting president to deliver remarks at a sunday service at ebenezer baptist church, the same church where dr. martin luther king preached at and it was an opportunity for president biden to remember king's legacy ahead of mlk day. during his remarks, he reflected on the state of the nation, saying that it is at a critical juncture and that it is at an inflection point. take a listen. >> the battle for the soul of this nation is perennial. it's a constant struggle. it's a constant struggle between hope and fear, kindness and cruelty, j

earlier today james comber announced that the first border oversight hearing will be february 6th.border. speaker mccarthy said some hearings would be held at the border. this will be here in d.c. >> neil: thank you. dan crenshaw, he has his own worries about the border. this might need to involve the u.s. military. explain what has you very, very concerned. >> well, we introduced authorized use against the cartels and organizations trafficking fentanyl. why not years ago? the difference is fentanyl. this is not a war on drug problem. it's a poisoning problem. they are killing 80,000 americans a year. the mexican government does little to thwart this. there should be a bipartisan effort in congress to deal with them. that gives our president more leverage trying to get the mexican government to do its job regarding immigration when the cartels control and thwarting fentanyl killing american citizens. these people are more like isis than the mafia. we saw a war after the mexican government arrested el-chapo's son. this looks more like a war. these people are well quipped. well armed

to take a listen to james comber, republican on the air yesterday. >> every american, regardless of partyat we need to stand up to china. china is stealing intellectual property, stealing our patents. continuing to put americans at risk. this administration is tied into china every which way imaginable. >> and yet anna presley says this. >> i voted no because, again, it is another sham effort here. it is really clear that this is just a committee that would further embolden anti-asian rhetoric and hate and put lives at risk. >> a sham committee she says that we'll just put asian american lives at risk. what do you say? >> that is ridiculous. other democrats voted with the republican committee to create this. a terrific initiative from the new republican speaker kevin mccarthy. their reason for that is because we have been talking about a geopolitical competition with china for so long. we need to focus the agenda of the congress and the american people around what will we do about it. we need to explore the economic dimensions of our relationship with china. we need to keep them as an exp

now james comber has sent a demand letter to the white house to turn over evidence for a congressionalnvestigation. he's defending his decision to focus on the probe on president biden and not the former president, donald trump. >> with respect to investigating president trump there have been so many investigations i don't feel we need to spend a lot of time investigating president trump because the democrats have done for the past six years. who hasn't been investigated is joe biden. >> congress has an independent constitutional obligation to oversea all aspects of the justice department. so we will have a role in what's trance pyring here. >>> house democrats are focused on differences between president biden's handling of classified material and the former president trump. >> we were delighted to learn that the president's lawyers, the moment they found out about the documents that day turned them over to the national archives, and ultimately to the department of justice. that is a very different posture than what we saw with donald trump where he was fighting for a period of more t

with some of what you're looking for as well, and that would be the house oversight committee, jim combero the biden family, their farm business dealings and influence pedal, and jim jordan looking into the f.b.i. and doj, as the f.b.i. politicized, the doj weaponized, it would appear that the doj is taking position they are going to stonewall every investigation every step of the way. they will probably end up taking it to court, and they don't want to be transparent and they won't be transparent. that's my guess where this is headed. does congress have any other means available to it? can you expedite the legal process? >> well, not just the legal process, but listen, every one of these agencies, their budgets are approved by congress and have to have oversight. we have oversight over the f.b.i.'s count intelligence division so it gives us an angle over the doj and we certainly have oversight over all of these agencies. these documents they have in their possession do not belong to the f.b.i. or the doj. they belong to the intelligence agencies who authored them and they should be answe

one of the big investigations will be james comber and jim jordan. we're in washington, d.c. we're in the swamp. we're only here for 24 hours or less. we'll be back in just a short time. stay with us. >> sean: welcome to fox's live. for the first time earlier this evening president biden addressed the controversy over classified documents found in his former office, saying his lawyers are cooperating fully. >> i was briefed about this discovery and surprised to learn that there were any government records that were taken there to that office. but i don't know what's in the documents. my lawyers have not suggested i ask what documents they were. >> the white house confirmed yesterday that a small number of documents with classified markings from biden's time as vice president was found at the private office. the revelation sparked a flurry of criticism from republicans and former president trump, whose florida home was raided last year in search of documents removed from the white house. i'm matt finn. now back to hannity. for all your headlines log on to fox news.com. >> sean

the house oversight committee, tasked with looking into the federal government and also as chairman comberthat committee has said into the biden family. so, this is definitely something to watch in a couple months. all these investigations parallel to one another and democrats on all of these committees, concerned. as you heard from adam smith, the soundbite that you played at the top of your show. >> all right, thank you very much, julie tsirkin from capitol hill. appreciate that. we are going to go now to some more alarming news and the details about the january six investigation, and some new clues that suggests republican members of congress may still be under investigation by doj for their roles in the capitol riot. the house committees lead investigator, speaking out in his first television interview. tackling a wide range of topics, including house members who may be in legal jeopardy. >> they were involved in some of the -- that was being put on state officials and state legislators. they were a big part of the context of january six, it was a political coup and the stop the steal

recent report found 47% of federal workers participate in some form of teleworking, congressman james comberislation to require federal workers to go back to traditional settings. the white house says many federal workers are back on a regular basis, and point to groups like the tsa but they say forcing everyone to go back at once could backfire. >> to tie federal managers hands to prohibit them from operating the work arrangements widely available in the private sector, remote work, hybrid arrangements, would essentially guarantee that our recruitment and retention problems would only get more severe. >> it's also clear for d.c. mayor it's about economics, they want to bring more people into the city to keep the economy afloat. but the government union john said not just federal workers are missing from the places downtown. john. >> john: mark, thank you. sandra. >> sandra: hbo host bill maher is putting the white house on notice for the problems in the nation's schools. >> anything to do with schools or education is something really the democrats have to answer for because they control it.

we have problems all around that need to be looked into comber is ready for it. he's going to be one of the most famous because of the demand on this to get this moving. >> don't forget the math in the senate. we're still -- nowhere close to being able to pass a bill in the house. it's going to passes in the senate. in terms of performative actions and performative art and things, this is going to be a congress that's full of messaging. hopefully not too far to the extreme to cost republicans seats in '24. >> let's listen in for mary miller and see if she doesn't change her vote again. >> miller of illinois. mccarthy. >> she stayed there. >> miller of ohio. >> mccarthy. >> next up the question is rosendale, one of the holdouts we've yet to hear from him. we'll dip back in. >> yeah. rosendale is key because of the montana senate race implications. there are a number of republicans in the chamber who may be running for the senate in 2024 and sparks from indiana maybe was looking into the senate race over there. some of the votes here, not just today, but how they a

reporter: congressman comber said this is the difference about treatment.reason on why president trump was treated differently. he withheld these documents for more than a year. doj and national archives expended a lot of different steps to get the documents back and it was not until the judge signed off on a search warrant because there was real concerned that the president was obstructing the ability to obtain the documents and was violating the asby and are shocked potentially. republicans are widely calling for more information on biden but they have not said that they would investigate former president trump's classified documents at home. nick: andow our dumb --and how are democrats respoing ? reporter: congressman adam schiff and others have been calling for damage assessment. here is what he had to say today or this weekend -- >> congress ought to handle the situations the same way. we need a briefing from the intelligence community about any risk to national security about where the documents were and what they contained. reporter: just like they c

. >> reporter: republican congressman james comber of kentucky. reform committee, he's determined to investigate whether joe biden and his son, hunter, are, as we puts it, compromised. >> this evidence raises troubling questions about whether or not president biden is a national security risk and about whether he is compromised by foreign governments. senator this all dates back to 2014 when hunter biden joined a board of a private ukrainian gas company. he was paid $50,000 a month. at the time, his father was vice president and handling some foreign policy in ukraine for the biden administration. at the heart of the planned investigation are dozens of suspicious activity reports that republicans claim banks filed related to hunter biden's financial activities. as the incoming majority in the house, republicans can use subpoena power to get those reports as well as subpoena of foreign entities and others who did business with hunter biden. there is no evidence joe biden did anything wrong and hunter biden has denied any wrongdoing. >> we went to a

by the end of the month and so too did democrat mark warner and chair of the committee and james comberf kentucky who chairs the oversight and reform committee has gone further asking the white house for all relevant documents and communications related to the documents by january 24th. on friday representative jim jordan who chairs the house judiciary committee and representative mike johnson sent garland a letter asking for executive branch documents and communications indicating their determination to investigate as well. let's go to ben in new jersey and lewis is on the line. caller: good morning. first of all, you put adam schiff on there, please. when the russian hoax was going on, every night he was on cnn, msnbc saying he had evidence. he didn't have evidence. the guy's a liar. as far as biden, i thought as president you could declassify anything you wanted. biden had stuff when he wasn't even in office. he sold out to the chinese. who gives a crackhead money to investigate. only a democrat would. thank you. host: next up is maryland, calling from st. petersburg, florida. go ahe

here's some sound from the house oversight chair, james comber. >> they never care about it.s at the top of all of this gain of function research is eco health alliance and this administration just gave them more money even though the ig report and even though everything that has come out about the money that they already received proves that they were never in compliance with the grant to begin with. >> trace: he made two valid points. they did try to brush this aside. and two, the money just kept flowing. >> yeah, i think again, very disappointing. very hard to justify and understand why we continue to fund research that has been shown to be very high risk. and to an agency, an organization that has shown a total disregard for their clients to reporting this research in the manner that they're supposed to. it comes back to the fundamentals of whether we should be doing this gain of function research. i think it's really been concocted that people try to argue that this doesn't meet the definition of true gain of function research. we heard that from our nih leadership. i wa

. >> reporter: republican congressman james comber now chairs the house oversight committee and set his a mysterious laptop, now in the hands of the fbi, and long held conspiracy theory about president joe biden and what he does or doesn't know. >> i have never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything having to do with our businesses, period. >> reporter: despite his denials, a cnn review of the laptop data as well as other public material shows that joe biden did interact with some of his son's associates while serving as vice president, but it is unclear what was discussed. one example the republican site, miguel mignani, a mexican businessman and son of the former president, who hunter was trying to woo. in 2014, he and his dad were photographed at the white house with then vice president biden. in a later email, hunter biden reminds him of the favors he's done for him. we have been talking about business deals and partnership for seven years. i have brought every single person you have ever asked me to bring to the effing white house and the president's house and
