this is the same office by doug hunter david weiss of hunter buys bidens business dealings.inal word. >> i agree with you, this is frustrating, there is a look at this information and it goes nowhere. what frustrates the american people and i mean it to be blunt what frustrates republicans, if this were donald trump they would be moving out works breed for an indictment or in the case of public corruption nancy pelosi with the warp speed to impeach him over a phone call which you have here now is getting money from burisma and using their political power here in the united states to get a prosecutor fired in ukraine and to put out this information in the united states using the weight of his office at the time. if you put that together with the fact that is pretty clear we will find out more next week and the oversight committee that you have elements of the department of justice who are slow walking, stonewalling and covering up this activity. working to get to the bottom of it. liz: thank you for joining us, it's good to have you on. let's take a look at something we want

whistleblower shapley who investigated the hunter biden probe and he insists he personally saw david weiss in a meeting complain he was not only not in charge of the probe and not able to charge hunter biden in other districts outside of delaware. >> i even had him repeat that because i knew how important that fact was and i wanted to make sure i understood it. >> late last week weiss wrote to republicans i would be granted 515 authority in delaware or california or any other areas. i asked sources on the hill will you bring him in, they said nothing decided yet at this point. back to you. >> shannon: sounds very capitol hill. >> bill: the attorneys for the accused idaho killer, brian kohberger, got a small win in court this week. a judge granting the request to access training records of three cops who investigated the murders of those four university of idaho students. former nypd inspector paul mauro joins us for analysis in a moment but first dan springer has the story live in the pacific northwest. good morning. >> this is part of the routine pre-trial fight over discovery and th

joe, good morning to you, so david weiss responded to congress's request for all the documents in the hunter said you can't have them because the case is still ongoing. now the wall street journal editorial board says in an op-ed about david weiss his refusal to contradict the whistleblower enhances their credibility. what do you think about that david weiss telling congress the wife blower is wrong and you're just going to have to trust me? >> well, that's not going to fly, right? david weiss saying he never had the authority here, of course he has said that. and, look, what we're seeing here overall, in regards to this hunter biden story, is that we're starting to see more coverage of it, but then you see the row con a's of the world dismissing it like they dismissed the laptop as russian disinformation just weeks before a presidential election in 2020 and then throughout this entire process nothing to see here, no big deal. and, again, the story here carley, ashley, isn't so much about hunter biden, of course it is and the influence peddling that happened in places like china and ukraine,

david. i might disagree with how hunter biden fiasco has proceed over the last five years or so. is a friend of mine and a good guy. and in a tough spot right now. jon: does he have authority to deny to congress materials they are asking for? >> well i think at this moment, yes. i mean, it's look, nobody believes that there's an ongoing investigation. that there's not a -- hunter biden has excellent defense attorneys and think what you want about hunter biden he's got good legal counsel look at the deal he's gotten here, and the slow walk that is happened over the last four or five years. david has the ability the u.s. attorney has the ability to withhold any information from congress until probably after the plea is actually proffered in court maybe for some period after that. if there's some secondary target nobody knows about. but as it relates to hunter biden, no defense lawyer is going to let their -- let their client plead guilty to tax charges and pre-trial diversion for a gun charge when there's other stuff outs there. they lose all of their leverage and it would not make

results but they've pointed out a lot of inconsistencies on how the hunter biden matter has been handled, the inconsistencies with davidh, he had total authority to go after hunter biden. >> steve: right. >> and then the new york times actually confirming in like paragraph 21 of its report, well, actually we have another person who says that's not true. it's just headache after headache for biden and it remains to be seen if this catches up with him in the minds of the voters. >> steve: sure. you know in the minds of the voters and in the minds of everybody else, when you heard the news about the cocaine on sunday night, probably like everybody else you immediately thought, oh, hunter biden lives at the white house. although the white house says he comes in another door so it wasn't him. but this embarrassment just brings more scrutiny to the president and in tock the hunter biden sweetheart deal which a judge in delaware is going to either approve or kick to the curb coming up in about three weeks. they're going to decide whether or not the deal is appropriate. it's just a bad look. >> absolutely. and, look, i'm a lib

david weiss, the u.s. attorney oversees the hunter biden investigation? >> it's not for congress. it's for the american public. the one thing that we learned from an irs whistle-blower is someone is lying. it's either david weiss or it is attorney general garland to not just the american public but to congress as well. if i was accused and knows what was written out there right now, i would want to make sure i cleared my name if i didn't lie. if i lied, maybe i would try to do the exact same thing. say i can't find the cocaine or can't do this or let the statute of limitations run out. that's not what our constitution says. he's held to a higher standard. he doesn't have really the ability to tell us whether congress could find the answer or not. the american people deserve the answer. >> martha: good point. the u.s. attorney should very much want his take on this to be known at least to investigators within the government at this point and hopefully to the larger public as well. there's a lot of stories in complete conflict with regard to what he's up to in delaware. good to have

big news yesterday, merrick garland gave green light for david weiss to testify on his hunter biden investigationdoj released a memo saying weiss says he welcomes the opportunity to meet with the committee at an appropriate time consistent with the law and department policy. the department affirms that commitment and legislative affairs will reach out tomorrow to discuss appropriate timeline and scope of such appearance. what do you think this timeline will look like? >> i sure hope they are not stonewalling again because they are stonewalling the american people. we have seen so much evidence, so many shell companies, tens of millions of dollars and this thing gets above 50 million when we're done with this investigation. the american people deserve the truth and deserve the answers and they should know if david weiss or merrick garland called code red on this thing and decided to cover-up and not investigate the information that came forward from the fbi and doj, who ignored it and didn't go forward with the investigation? >> todd: few good men reference by congressman nancy mace. thank you. >>

shapley, who has said david weiss did not have full authority to charge hunter biden. they totally have this run around could he charge him in california, could he charge him in the district of columbia or was he -- was he confined to just delaware? that's a big question. the whistleblower has far more credibility on this issue. >> julie: had he charged him in washington he would have been charged with a felony not with a slap on the wrist which brings us back to our original point. jason chaffetz. great to see you, love you, buddy. >> thank you. >> julie: rich. >> rich: israel launching its largest military operation in the west bank in two decades. a live report from jerusalem as the conflict enters its second day. >> julie: working remotely is growing in some unexpected jobs. we'll tell you where people are now clicking in. on is complete balanced nutrition. together we provide nutrients to support immune, muscle, bone, and heart health. everyone: woo hoo! ensure with 25 vitamins and minerals. enter the $10,000 nourishing moments giveaway. what do we always say, son

whistleblower gary shapley, the investigation into hunter biden was influenced by politicses. he claims u.s. attorney david weiss had complained about his control being limited. as house republicans were waiting on information on the hunter biden plea deal to be turned over congress, yesterday house judiciary chair jim jordan received a response from weiss who writes he is not at liberty to provide the material sought on hunter biden. quote, first, the department of justice did not retaliate against an irs criminal supervisory special agent and whistleblower as well as his entire investigative team for making protective disclosures to congress. second, weiss says that he stands by a previous letter where he said he had ultimate prosecutorial authority consistent with federal law adding this, quote, as the u.s. attorney for the district of delaware, my charging authority is geographically limited to my home district. common departmental practice is to contact the united states attorney's office for the district many question and determine whether it wants to partner on the case. weiss appearing there to pus

attorney david weiss when he started investigating hunter biden.th carolina congressman, virginia fox, chair woman of the housed case committee and member of the house oversight committee. congresswoman, good to see you. thanks very much for being here. >> good morning, maria. maria: we're trying to understand the relationship between david weiss and a biden aide because we want to understand whether or not he had authority in terms of leading an investigation into hunter biden and his tax issues, or not. your thoughts on what you've learned from your time on the oversight committee. >> well, we're certainly not getting clear answers from the biden administration and we're not getting clear ans answers m david weiss. that's something that we need to have. we need to know what his authority was. there are conflicting stories. the irs whistleblower said that he told them and others he did not have complete authority to do what he needed to do. the revelation from senator grassley of the 1023 and the revelation that all of this material was not given

first david spunt live at the justice department with more on hunter biden's latest efforts on the legal front. david, nice to see you, good morning. >> if you thought the tension on capitol hill was palpable regarding republicans and their efforts to get information from the white house and white house counsel's office or d.o.j. regarding hunter biden, you should check it out today. it is more intense. republicans are constantly being stonewalled when it comes to getting information regarding their investigation. their separate congressional invest into the president's son, hunter biden. expect his legal team to be at it once again this week working with the department of justice, u.s. attorney david weiss in delaware on a revised plea deal or one that provides more information to federal judge mary ellen -- the judge who refused to -- they ignore request for information. some republicans say they want transparency but that also requires cooperation. >> i believe based on what i'm seeing, these appointees are running interference and essentially protecting not only hunter biden but pres

i'm told it is likely david weiss will have to answer questions on capitol hill perhaps under oath if he is subpoenaed there are discussions underway. hunter biden appears in court at the end of this month on the 26th for that plea deal. >> bill: watching that. david spunt, doj. >> dana: kim strassel from the "wall street journal" editorial board. she has an upcoming book called the biden malaise. abby lowell is a very accomplished lawyer, a prominent lawyer in washington. he took on hunter biden's case. one of the things they tried to do over the weekend is go after the whistleblowers for saying this. call for one. the two agents who appeared on may 26 and june 1st were not sworn in or told as any government interviewer does that providing false testimony could lead to criminal charges and talk about the redacted transcripts showing them that they were informed about providing false testimony. we have that here, too. it seems like bill was saying in the break, both things can't be true. so somebody here is lying. how do you see it? >> well, it's right there in the transcripts, dana, if you look at what the house judiciary committee put ou

she will see david weiss and see hunter biden next week on the 26th. there is no indication that she won't accept this plea agreement because there's nothing in the docket that shows she has any questions at this point but she has every right to question this agreement and that could happen in court next week on the 26th. >> sandra: allowed to watch there. david, thank you. john. >> john: let's bring in byron york, fox news contributor. we will hear from these whistle-blowers on wednesday. there may be a transcribed interview that the committee gets with david weiss. it will be interesting to hear from all of them because byron, there are so many contradictions in this case. >> there are. and it's a good thing that everybody is getting to hear from them. especially from whistle-blower x. orb whistle-blower number two who has remained an ominous up to now. we read the transept of his interviews with the committee but we haven't heard him talk. one thing that will be fascinating about these two whistle-blowers as they testify is what democrats do. will t

hunter. they were in camp david this weekend. hite house aids are being told to ignore the existence of hunter's estranged 4-year-old daughter and say the president only has six grandkids. >> good morning to you. first son hunter biden has spoken openly about his addictions to drugs and alcohol. the scandals will continue to plague the white house. questions about one of the president's grandchildren may also have an impact on the president's re-election campaign. we heard from "the new york times" over the weekend that did a deep dive on hunter biden's 4-year-old daughter in arkansas. last month hunter reached a child support agreement with the girl's mother which means he will turn over some of his handmade paintings or the profits from those paintings to help cover her expenses. the times writes, the trial planned for mid july has been averted. the political toxicity regarding this case will remain. we don't know if president biden will address his granddaughter in arkansas. they haven't tried to hide hunter from the cameras an

i mean, the biden family, david, has -- they've formed 20 the plus shell companies. huntermoney. we've got the 10 is 23 from what the fbi describes is a very reliable source, human source that they've paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to that said soll chef sky told him he gave joe biden $5 million, and he has bank records the private. we find to those bank records, you're talking about the largest political scandal in american history. david: finally, the impeachment inquiry, whether there is enough evidence or perhaps if after today's testimony whether there will be enough evidence to start an impeachment inquiry. >> quite frankly and candidly, david, i think we've had enough evidence to open at least an inquiry, an impeachment inquiry, for the last several months, is so absolutely, we should do that forthwith. david: congressman, thank you very much. it's going to be an interesting day. report back, we'd love to hear what you hear. i appreciate it. >>> well, let's check on the futures. they're all going pretty well right now, all in the green. the opening bell is com

hunter biden matter. at issue is will he sit down for a transcribed interview? david spunt live at d.o.j. answer. >> as we monitor what's going on, republicans will get the star witness in the hunter biden probe, david weiss, the u.s. attorney in delaware. attorney general merrick garland making the way for liaisons at d.o.j. to negotiate with congress to get david weiss to sit down as soon as possible for a transcribed interview. the question will it be before hunter biden's plea deal? that's unlikely because the plea deal will be entered before a federal judge next wednesday on july 26th. republican source on capitol hill told me things are moving in a more positive direction between attorney general garland and house republicans. just a few weeks ago there was talk of impeaching garland. that has decreased. there are several other people republicans want to hear from. weiss's assistant attorneys, wolf and graves. d.o.j. did not commit to allowing them to sit for interviews and then on wednesday in two days big hearing in front of the house oversight committee when the second whistleblow

hunter biden as a brother in 2018. he was working under u.s. attorney david weiss at the office at the time. the u.s. hat's like, what? >> and that certainly is going to be something that republicans point to with, you know, one of their big targets this congress which is, you know, digging into what they sees a bias against conservatives, bias against former president trump in the fbi, in the justice system. the interesting thing to watch is there is kind of three different areas where house republicans are trying to dig in here. the fbi, doj, discrediting line where they are really saying there has been bias against former president trump and then there is the hunter biden strands we are seeing pop up again and again and seeing increasingly some pretty significant witnesses come forward with allegations against hunter biden. and then there is the joe biden piece which as we are seeing they are still trying to have a firm tie to joe biden that would allow them to move forward with this impeachment inquiry and something that mccarthy has said they need impeachment inquiry to try find that strand. >> b

good morning, everyone, i'm david asman in for stuart varney. any moment now hunteren's former business associate, devon archer, will testify on capitol hill in a closed door can meeting. he is expected to reveal joe biden's alleged involvement -- joe biden's, that is -- in multiple phone calls regarding foreign business deals when he was vice president. we're following this very closely, and we'll give you updates as they come in. but first, let's get straight to your money how it's doing. as i've said is before today, the markets are kind of teetering in positive and negative but just barely so. there's a lot of hesitation waiting for those financial figures to come in. over 100 companies are going to be reporting this week including amazon, apple, caterpillar, a lot of key key companies. so investors are kind of playing it safe, not moving their accounts around too much. meanwhile, the 10-year treasury is down a tick, it's still trading up towards 4%. it's down just 1.2 basis points to 3.94%. and a look at oil. this is causing some consternation among people who a

business partner was asked whether hunter biden had ever put his father, of course, the president, on a speakerphone with clients? >> reporter: he was asked that, david, and according to lawmakers in the room, devin archer told them that hunter biden would often put his father on the phone during business meetings, apparently to impress clients and associates. archer answered questions behind closed doors and testifying, according to one lawmaker in the room, that hunter biden was, quote, selling the illusion of access to his powerful father, and put him on speakerphone with different people some 20 times. during those calls, democratic congressman dan goldman said the two never spoke about business, instead, he said, archer described the calls involving president biden as casual, niceties, like the weather. and the white house has long said, david, that president biden and his son were never in business together. david? >> david: and to clarify, aaron, the calls involved joe biden when he was not president, this was before the presidency? >> reporter: that's right, well before the presidency, even after he was vice president, out of office, david. >
