raskin is slamming james comber saying the fbi has been very accommodating. see the documents at the heart of this dispute, and my colleague is reporting as soon as today other members can go into a secure room to view this document as well, kate. >> we will see what, if anything, we hear coming out of it, because that was some of the concern coming from the fbi and how far they disseminated the information in the document. good to see you, sarah. thanks so much. >>> this morning the pope is alert and breathing easily. that update coming from the vatican after he under went three hour abdominal surgery. doctors say there were no complications and the 86-year-old will stay in the hospital for around 10 days to recover. the surgery repaired a hernia that was apparently getting worse. the word is the night went well, ba barbie. >> reporter: yeah the night went well. that's what the vatican is telling us, the hospital is telling us. he was in this hospital in march for an infectious bronchitis. he doesn't get around well, using a wheelchair, a cane. it's going to

on the air, the disposition is gagarin, it’s still good that our combers are returning home without droneswe are not waiting in a contemplative mood when guests suddenly appear on armored cars with machine guns, and there is no doubt that guests are already at the doorstep, other belarusian nationalists who, because of ukraine, are ready to die, even underwent training on the invasion without an invitation in the belgorod region, and experience sometimes requires further implementation. in addition, we live in an era when unpreparedness breeds aggression, and therefore we are constantly strengthening our positions even before the sharp actualization of the threat from sabotage and reconnaissance groups in belarus, for example, we created territorial defense, and the actual absence, which russians now regret, but also territories. it may not be enough because in each area there is a unit limited in number and tasks, and the need may be higher. and there are no loopholes, only the general defense system. make it so and decided with the help of the people's militia i already more than once ev

a lot of folks across the party have been looking to comber saying where are the results?nted this document from the fbi, this document called an fd 1023, which collects interviews from folks to fbi sources. it doesn't prove wrong doing. but once they got this document they had been asking for, they dropped this plan to hold christopher ray in contempt of congress but of course republican colleagues and supporters on the outside want to see more from him and others than just reviewing a document they received. >>> speaking of how republicans as we've been reporting some far right members of the body are holding up, well, the lower chambers business. they're blocking votes that would allow lawmakers to introduce republican signature items, kevin mccarthy seems to have a rebellion on his hands and steve scalise, who's one that's been eyeing mccarthy's job has been fanning the flames. >> i remember you and i talking about the speakership fight how this would be mccarthy's reality if he won the gavel. this far right group of extreme members have an outsized amount of power and

republican chairman, jame comber, said he would hold fbi director chris wray in contempt over an fbi document containing a bribery allegation involving then vice president joe biden. ray offered to let you and comer review the document and comer wants it physically turned over to the full committee. what are your thoughts. you're the ranking democrat on the committee. >> the fbi is coming tomorrow so show chairman comber and me and the document that they're looking for. in other words, the republican majority is getting everything they're asking for, in terms of seeing the document, which they say they've already seen. and yet they're still talking about holding the director of the fbi in contempt even though they're getting exactly what they want and the fbi has been overwhelmingly cooperative and accommodating to this request. so that demonstrates to me that what they're really interested in is in holing the fbi director in contempt, not in getting a document that they've already seen and i don't know what that document is because the majority has closed us out. the democrats reaso

. >> one of your most vocal republican colleagues, james comber, republican chairman of the oversightevidence uncovered by the house oversight committee reveals the bidens engaged in a pattern of corruption, influence peddling, and possibly bribery." congressman, have you seen that evidence? do you think that investigation will uncover wrongdoing? >> no, there is no evidence to support those very, very aggressive allegations. and in fact, even in the republicans' own reports and public documents to this point, they have not connected any of the bank records that they have to president biden. nor did the u.s. attorney, mr. weiss, connect any of the financial investigation that he conducted of hunter biden to president biden. there's been no implication that president biden was involved at all in any of the financial dealings they looked at. of course, we know that if there were a criminal investigation warranted into the president, that there would have to be a special counsel. and the allegations that chairman comber is referencing were considered by the trump doj, and they declined t

nothin g to do with the investigations of jim comber in the house oversight committee. definitely nothing that will implicate pops. we asked to give half of his income to and pay his home repair bills or as others refere to him, as the big guy getting his 10to him a%. othing this will be nothing other thano a show indictmen t to cover their overtly political, never endingtical personal utian of . and all things donald trump.goa, it appears the doj has three goals. one, yet trump, as soonhi as possible, prevent him from b becoming president tecomo protet joe biden at all costs. and three, try to save face by using poor old hudner, the crack addict who does portrait's using of a crack addt and sells them for an astronomical amount of money adc for painting by numbers. >> i've never seen money like that for thas i'vemonet. but they'll use him as a minor sacrificial lamb to justifytrum going after trump. so now the question is, when i can we expect these loomingth indictments? all right. here with the very latest himself, he lateste is the editn chief, just the news.com. >>

interestingly, both the chairman, comber, and the ranking democrat on that committee, jamie raskin, haven after reviewing it just yesterday. and joining me now is congressman dan goldman of new york, who is a member of the house oversight committee. good evening, congressman, and thank you for joining us. of course you've dealt with a lot of the hunter biden allegations back when you were working on the 2019 impeachment. with this happening now do you view this as legitimate oversight? do you understand why republicans want to hold the fbi director in contempt? >> no, i don't at all. and i don't both for procedural reasons and for substantive reasons. first on the procedural side the fbi director has substantially complied by providing the chairman and ranking member access to this document which if disseminated to the rest of the committee might impede on the confidentiality of sources. but more importantly is that the substance of this document has been debunked over and over and over again. and you don't have to just take my word for it or the 17 witnesses in the first impeachment inv

this is republican james comber, describing the seriousness of the investigations into the bite and family, and joe biden hunter, by the corruption that may have gone on. this is what we heard from james. calmer of age suggest a pattern of bribery where payments would be made through shell accounts and multiple banks. there's a term for that's called money on. net again is what the, the majority of the suspicious activity reports also says. so we feel that this accusation is consistent with the pattern that we're seeing, frankly, in other countries. we believe there are multiple docs. now the evidence seems to indicate that the biden administration and previously, joe biden, his vice president, had corrupt connections in ukraine. we can recall how hunter bite and joe biden son was hired by barissi holdings and natural gas company ukraine, despite having almost no experience or relation to the issue of natural gas and was paid quite a salary for that. and that the prosecutor and your grand who was looking into it was fired, and joe biden brag about having expired. uh, so now we understand t

. >> tomorrow house oversight committee chairmen james comber to receive a subpoenaed fbi document thation dollar poi bribery scheme, this is interesting it was reported by a whistleblower. the fbi failed to investigate this allegation and part of a pattern of abuse of the rule of law at fbi. >> they were threatening the fbi correct or with contempt charges or a contempt vote in the house. >> document is not classified. but it was hidden behind a wall, fbi director as you have seen, didn't want to release this information they were threatening contempt, then he said he would allow limited visibility. >> finally seeing it. this is called surprise super market deal of the summer, egg prices are going down. according to "wall street journal" they are on track to return to price folks are used to like 2 bucks a dozen. some retailers like top's here, plan to offer eggs at 1.29 in coming month, eggs have become symbol of information. they atributed the spike to avion flu, that good news. >> absolutely. >> i think i eat two dozen's week, that is good for me. >> a big savings. >> a big egg guy.

>> oversight has been hard on the case led by james comber. we have been bringing people in and interviewing them under oath to get a full picture of what has occurred with joe biden and his son and his brother. let's not leave out jim. jim biden is involved as well. we have been getting down to what is going on and we are going to present our case to the american people. we believe it is compelling. we know how the presses and we want to make sure you have all the information so the american people can make their full decision on joe biden which means personally he should not be near the white house. >> does the fatherhood excuse play in this type of investigation. everything you look at in history, the left incentivized a lack of fathers. you look at the tax code that hunter cheated, that is what they have been about. can they say this is about the love between a father and a son? >> it is gaslighting from the left. they are lying and covering for their guy because if the american people knew the totality and reported the totality, if they t

chairman james comber prepares conat the present time of congress against fish ray talk about the latest developments in the case the bribery scheme with joe biden bring in fbi special agent nicole park upper. it is grit to have you on. chris ray must know the people don't trust the fbi. document has been investigated why not give it over? from my understanding christopher ray believes turning over this do you mean could compromise the confidential human source the fbi run source all of the time. source information is important to investigations and in order to get sources to sign on there needs comfort this their safety is importance to you as the case agent and the fbi. when you are asked to turn manage over the request of congress they over see the fbi. you continue is important that you are in compliance with hat requests. >> that is the key frizz they do over seat fbi. congress man raskin said this. >> i understand that the chairman has been saying this is now part of an on going criminal investigation or prosecution. i did not pick this up if true all the more reason that documents

donald trump's chance at reelection and take some undeniable things in the open because of jim jordan comberhnson people who worked for four years to get this to the american people when fbi had a tip paul manafort had a longer with stuff in it they got a warrant and raided it. when the fbi agents learn that hunter biden had his business records moved to storen they met probable cause for search warrant and turned down. when the fbi wanted to interview anyone they wanted russia conclusion mat earth of credibility they did it but when irs agents tried to interview several people were told you can't ask questions about joe biden and can't interview these people including the joe bidened grandchildren hunter biden's children. why? they wanted to ask did you charge some of your personal expenses on hunter biden's credit card and did that become a tax deductible improper expense and e-they were told it's not in your career interest to interview joe biden's began children. that's the example we see. they recommended charges career pim up and down recommended a sweeping indictment and the u.s. atto

same time but it's going to be on a gun application clark and tax charges, none of the things that comber is investigating about china and money and suspicious activity reports and shell corporations. >> and foreign lobbying and not registering as a foreign agent. >> so here's my question. doingt think they're going after donald trump on the issue of documents. >> no, they can't. >> if they do they have to go joe and they have to go after hillary. >> that's right. that's right. >> so i'm guessing they're going after process crime. >> of course they're going after process crime. they can't possibly go after donald trump for these documents. first of all hillary let's get her out of the way. she was never p. she was never vice-president. i think she still wants to run but that's another issue and the truth is for her to have these classified documents on a private email that jim comey said probably was hacked by foreign governments which three destroyed which is destruction of evidence, tampering with evidence, and 33,000 emails. >> subpoenaed emails. >> she knew waits relevant to the inves

in june and only for so long, will he be able to get away with this and if james comber brings the goods like he is promising at some point abc, nbc, cbs, cnn the new york post, they're going to have to ask questions themselves and start digging into this the way journalist should be doing instead of covering the administration. >> tonight that drag a group, that dresses up as nuns is performing at the los angeles dodgers game and marco rubio created and added to air during the game to criticize the group but that address rejected and rubio told fox news this.he said the dodgers are honoring an anti-catholic hate group as community heroes but they are afraid of airing and as showing these sisters out of the community it tells you everything you need to know about the dodgers major league baseball and the media they are no longer demanding tolerance they promote intolerance and hatred of christianity. so this group they will be getting an honor and the community hero award. what you think about the situation and the fact that the ad was rejected? >> this was unfair from the beginning the

secret document jim comber, head of the oversight committee demanded doesn't indicate bribery. allegation reviewed. as we heard this morning from bill barr you asked him. barr said people in pittsburgh weren't authorized. this is determination made under trump white house. >> shannon: sent over to already open investigation in delaware. >> we don't know. i am saying this is an effort to distract from what we know. the reality is, with president trump's base, two indictments now fining of liability and sexual assault, twice impeached. they are locked into his personality. >> the people that love him love that is where he is going to go and stay. to this point about this fbi document i asked bill barr about. he is somebody who has seen the document, this is what he said after seeing it. >> reporting to this point always been joe biden denies any knowledge of what hunter and brother jim have been doing. according to the document, we have both read that is a lie. joe biden absolutely knows and has been engaged in this throughout the entirety of this corruption scheme that has been

attorney david weiss was reportsly briefed on these allegations by the fbi and chairman comber who will join us in studio uncovered shell corporations where foreign money was distributed to at least nine biden family members including grandchildren. then of course there's the newly released text messages from 2017 showing hunter biden all but ex-for thing chinese nationals with threats of receipts abuse from list father all his father's friends and that hunter himself would hold a grudge a long time if not receiver and hunter promised his counterparts the bidens are best i know doing exactly what the chairman wants. what chairman? the chairman of the largest communist chinese energy company that's paying them a fortune. wow. isn't that nice of the bidens to be so nice to the communist chinese? after hunter's threatening what's app messages massive sums of money millions of dollars sent pouring out of china into a biden associated account. are we supposed to accept this conduct business as usual nothing to see here really? what did the bidens do for the energy company considering they ha

comber made it clear he was not satisfied by the briefing. should ha to hand over a hard copy of the document. listen to what they said after that briefing. >> at the briefing the fbi refused to hand over the unclassified record to the custody of the house oversight committee. we will now initiate contempt of congress hearings. >> i'm surprised my colleagues want to try to litigate this in public, much less hold the director of the fbi in contempt for complying with their request when there was a whole process. >> reporter: now the fbi says the move toward contempt is unwarranted. there was some disagreement coming out of the briefing of whether the document is part of an ongoing investigation. comer said his understanding is it is. jamie raskin said his understanding was the fbi looked into it, was unable to corroborate the allegations. jake? >> sara murray, thanks. >>> the chinese government is accusing the united states of trying to provoke a military confrontation. we'll show you the near military collision that led to the confrontation.

now, chairman comber says that they are still going to be investigating this and the claims related tom congressman raskin. he said that the fbi has closed the investigation into these allegations, and so that's the big question that we're still looking for. i will say, i spoke with the fbi, and they told me that that investigation has been closed, but regardless, chairman comer plans to move forward and hold the fbi director in contempt of congress. >> important point there. thank you so much. >>> thank you so much for sharing part of your afternoon with us. "cnn news central" is back tomorrow at 1:00. but for right now, "the lead" with jake tapper starts after a short break. - elites. now that we've made travel so expensive, we have this hotel to our...selves..? - how'd you get here?? - kayak! they comompared hundreds of travel sites to find a great deal on my flight, car, and hotel. - kayak. search one and d done.

there's been an ongoing search, james comber coming forward saying he may have a whistle-blower and it. there may be sketchy foreign dealings. we've heard about the business practices. if it's not a chargeable crime, it frankly doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. at the end of the day, if it's donald trump, is going to look at do you trust joe biden or donald trump? >> elliott, the federal prosecutor in this told jim jordan that he had ultimate authority. what role does the attorney -- can the attorney general have said, well, maybe, you know, let's be soft on hunter biden? >> he could have done that, and apparently he did not. doj regulations say if you are a u.s. attorney you have to notify the bosses, the deputy a.g., a.g., big moves. the a.g. would have the power to overrule. what david weiss said, i made this call, neither merrick garland or any of the top brass had anything to do with it. that's an important point. >> is hunter biden still a useful political tool for the maga wing of the republican party? >> for the maga wing, the more republicans overreach with him, th

they were so tight-lipped they didn't want the committee under representative comber to see anythingdo with joe biden and, of course, we had jason chaffetz on just a little earlier who says it's kind of a coincidence that the indictment falls on the same week that finally representative comer and his committee got to look at what the informant, the now we know credible informant, said about the $5 billion that -- $5 million that joe biden and his son took there there ukraine. listen. >> the allegation from a credible source that the department of justice itself paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for this source and they get to see this document, hours later they come and drop this indictment? are you kidding me? like that's a coincidence? no way. they did this on purpose to smother the idea that joe biden has been credibly tied to a bribery scheme, put $10 million into his family's pocket. that should be the headline of "the new york times", but it won't be. will: let's for a moment presume the worst this both of these cases. on one hand there is no allegation that president trump

that is one issue james comber is trying to figure out behind closed doors, meeting with his attorneys today, and also jim jordan, with yet to decide at what point to try and ring the u.s. attorney himself, david weiss, to come testify before the house judiciary committee, that is an ongoing discussion. jordan indicating he was to see how the actual plea entered in court with hunter biden before deciding on those next steps. also, other republican efforts as well. the house plans to go behind doors tomorrow to look at allegations from an irs whistleblower, alleging that the hunter biden investigation over tax issues was ms. haddad. what comes out of that remains to be seen. it is worth noting, not all republicans are on the same page over all of this. senator romney telling us, he does not believe in the efforts to try and conflate the donald trump situation with the hunter biden situation is the right way to, that republicans need to be more selective in what they decide to criticize. >> very interesting. one of the many important points you made, this has not yet been approved by a j

but as cnn's sara murray reports when asked for any evidence of any wrongdoing neither grassley nor comberas of now been able to deliver. >> reporter: a bold and unsubstantiated claim from a senior senate republican. >> the foreign national who allegedly bribed joe and hunter biden allegedly has audio recordings of his conversation with them. 17 such recordings. >> reporter: even prompting members of his own party to pump the brakes. >> i'm not aware that we have verified that those recordings exist. >> reporter: iowa senator chuck grassley says a foreign national has audiotapes of joe biden and his son hunter biden related to an alleged bribery scheme involving the foreign national when biden was vice president. the existence of the tapes allegedly documented in an fbi document known as an fd-1023. >> these recordings were allegedly kept as a sort of insurance policy for the foreign national in case that he got into a tight spot. >> reporter: now grassley tells cnn even he isn't sure if the tapes are real. >> i just know they exist because of what the report says. now, maybe they don't ex

. >> jamie comber, jim jordan, the things that those committees are finding are incredible, and nobody want to -- they say we caught him here, 5 million here, 5 million there, 2 million here, getting paid massive amounts of hundred to be on the board of an energy company and admitting he knows nothing about energy. rachel: former president trump writtenning into that federal indictment charging him on the very same day the fbi provided stunning documents alleging that then-vp biden received $5 million to him and $5 million to his son from a ukrainian executive at brees a ma. the -- burisma. frustrated critics calling on congress to start drafting articles of impeachment which according to the constitution is requiressed for bribery -- required for bribery. fox news contributor charlie hurt is here to react. charlie, it's mind-boggling to me, i think about what matters more to the american people, a document dispute about where some boxes are -- [laughter] >> right. rachel: you know? the vice president of the united states taking $5 million from this corrupt country, ukraine. we're now

chairman comber of the oversight committee is holding a vote to hold the fbi director in contempt of i believe for thursday or looking likely for thursday. there's a document he has been able to see and be briefed on by the fbi. that happened yesterday for both comer and the democrat ranking member raskin but he wasn't able to take that document with him. he want to take it and leave the room with it and continue reviewing it. he's not able to do that. now, the fbi says they have been in cooperation with him. that they're giving him the information he wants albeit not in the fashion he wants it. for comer, he says this is grounds for contempt and it's why he's moving forward on this. we've seen these kinds of contempt votes before so we know from back during the january 6 days, it gets voted out of the committee and that's what we expect to see at the end of the week and we asked mccarthy how quickly he would move it to the full house floor and he said as soon as we can get it committee. this week or next. that's as soon as we could see a vote on a contempt referral. >> and the refer

meanwhile you got house republicans and chairman comber, who keeps talking about whistleblowers but hasn'tee years. there seem to be a lot of people pumping up smoke about hunter biden and not coming up with anything. in a lot of ways i think it is unseemly. fine, you want to go after the president and use his son as proxy, ok, that's the nature of politics these days. but we're talking about the son of a president who was an addict and went through really hard times and did some really stupid things. i'm having a hard time raising that to the level of a twice impeached, now twice criminally indicted former president who we really should be talking about and asking republicans why don't you talk about him and what's going on with him? because there are national security implications that are at stake. now with hunter biden, not with all the stuff we seen the last few years, come on. geoff: the way republicans tell it, president biden has been complicit in a years long scheme of hunter biden to profit off the family name. they have yet to provide evidence to support that. yet hunter biden h

good afternoon republican house oversight committee chairman james comber is taking the first steps tosed a resolution today which takes issue with the fbi's refusal to hand over a document that allegedly describes joe biden accepting a bribe as vice president. the fbi says it cannot release the document because it is bound by justice department policy >>> pro wrestling legend the iron sheikh has died at amping 21 he rose to prominence in the 1980s when tensions between the united states and iran reached a boiling point during the tehran hostage crisis his team shared the news on twitter but did not give any details of how he died. >>> soccer star lionel messi is reportedly set to join the mls the argentinian legend is joining inter miami after his exit from paris saint-germain. it includes a collaboration from brands of adidas and apple, something had a we're watching closely. >> thanks very much, seema seema mody. >>> ahead on plufrp, liv golf becoming a live wire the backlash over the deal and outrage over saudi arabia's human rights violations and fears that they could invest more

. >> and frank, what is your read of the claims that a bribe was made, chairman comber saying there wasribe in the document, senator grassley saying so. we've heard quite a different version of this from the democrats on the committee? >> senator grassley, of course, also said publicly that he wasn't concerned about whether or not the allegation was accurate or not. he wanted the document in hand. i think that tells us volumes about what this is really about. look, let's recall here that a republican, trump appointed attorney general, barr, handed this allegation, which appears to have come from a tranche of documents brought back from ukraine by rudy giuliani, handed it to a republican appointed u.s. attorney in pittsburgh, told him to look at it, look at the allegation. it came back as not credible, which barr agreed to. so what's really going on here is not so much the idea that fbi didn't fully investigate or is covering something up about biden, but rather, a battle of wills about whether or not this oversight committee can get anything it ever asked for from the fbi and the fbi di

. >> now, comber gavntempt oe they nearly a month to turn over a document related to a a potential criminal bribery scheme involving then vice do president joe biden. the fbi didn't produce iheme int and offered instead to show it to colmer. that's not really how subpoena i work. so ray's finding himself init a bit of a pickle as all that's happening. this disgraced former fbi head y james comey, he's out on an publicity tour, speaking to allt the usual suspects and , of course, defending his successor director raise a person of principle. and so i'm sure he's tryin inciple gright to ascertain what's the right thing to do consistent with department of justice policy. are consartment ofusticetraditi. and these are the kind of o the kerfuffles that blow up every so often in d.c. now it's ensnared the fbi. it'lit'sl pass .>> it will >> it'll pass . all right. joinin pass. g me now is johnr of radclyffe, former director of national intelligence under president trump. john , this person of principle seems to be slow walkinged. and investigation. we checked. it doesn't seeit doem --m it cob be wr

is there a chance that whahatt comber has is that other evidence that can verify or ored disputed? >> oh, absolutely.bsolutel so there are multiple things that could happen here.would wa and you woulntd think the fbi would want to be there saying they are going to cooperate, but the cooperation is pretty easy. congress has oversighteasyersigy . wants congress has classification authority to see anything at once. so why is there this this pretense of, oh, we haver sour to protect our sources and methods? you don't proteccemethod t classifieds anyone information from congress. and this isn't even classified. is is unclassified based on the reporting that we've seen, which means whatmeans exy do they think thatf cong they're keeping away here from members of congress? rent to seso who want to see it? so, yes, joe , to your point, it could very well be that they have additional pieces ofaf the puzzle and this could be essential in all of that. at but also, i have a sense that you're going to see if this comes out. they didn't want to know about these allegations. >> so that's kind of t

james comber teamed upn on thi with them. they have the evidence that they. ave the evidence joe biden has been corruptly taking millions fromgovernme governments for a long time. >> the fbi has had this thatvide joe biden took a foreign bribe of $5 million when he was the vice president. the fb he wasthi sat on this evv for 2017. the fbi is now pretendinge they're there. there's an ongoing aneestigation and they'r trying to pretend like they're protecting sources and methods. they're not protecting sourcesee and methods, but protecting joe biden and david, whens you look at this in its totality tonight, i mean, it and it is incredibly dark day for the country. an is excitedngressn about what they've uncovered. wed as i can't wait to seewo more, but we have to go to th back to the fact that the man who is leading by 30, 40 points in some pollg bys, is now unders federal will, will be shortly under federal on seven different counts potentially. i mean, if if ifpotent could be in jail. yeah, that's i mean, that's jail they mean what want. the most fanatical amo
