attorney david weiss.litico" has new reporting that hunter biden's attorney, abby lowell, sent letters requesting the treasury department -- request the inspector general there to probe why a former trump official had access to what are called suspicious activity reports. lowell is also requesting an ethics investigation into congresswoman marjorie tailor greene's verbal attacks. a whistleblower that argued the probe into hunter biden not being handled property. they've probed hunter's overseas business dealings, tax dealings and democrat senator chris coons says detail about the whistleblower are sketchy at best. >> nothing has been presented yet. this person hasn't come forward in any detail. >> the whistleblower's attorney told fox news last week the mystery is somewhat by design and why there are protections in place. when the time is right this i.r.s. agent will come forward. >> he knows that he will be attacked and really attacks like this are what he was worried about. but he wants to come forward,

david weiss is the u.s. attorney in delaware. he was appointed in the trump administration, not really known as a real political act of longtime delaware lawyer when merrick garland came in with the biden administration he camp david weiss on and said i'm going to have him run this investigation to give it sort of a modicum of impartiality. it doesn't look like the biden administration is directing what happens in it. u.s. attorneys have wide latitude to bring cases they think are appropriate. in specific instances like in tax cases they have to get signoff from the tax division at justice barrett headquarters but that doesn't mean they need the attorney general sign-up. >> host: besides there close to some sort of movement whether an indictment or otherwise? >> guest: it does seem like we have to assume they are getting close to it we have heard from mines investigators at least some of the agents and probably had enough to charge and. we understand there's been a bit of a delay, prosecutors are weighing various other factors. t

that's a man by the name of david weiss. so, if you connect the dots of what we have learned yesterday from the whistleblower's attorney, and what we learned back then, you have to figure somebody has given mr. weiss, the u.s. attorney in delaware, some information that is not accurate about the situation of mr. biden. >> brian: there is also speculation that the attorney general merrick garland who vouched for the independence of david weiss, who is a trump holdover, that he might -- he said he has been advised that he is not being denied anything that he needs but the fact that he, merrick garland, vouched for his independence could be called into question is david weiss' hands tied? or was he able to keep his job if he possibly guaranteed and they wouldn't move forward on the gun charge or the irs charge. and there is still that mystery of why someone would write a $2 million check for somebody else because they had an irs debt. that's pretty good. that sugar daddy that he has out on the west coast also lets him live with

there's a huge amount of frustration with david weiss from his team.just been at a standstill for over a year. and this is why we're seeing this irs whistle-blower and no doubt there will be more whistle-blowers coming forward. i think the irs whistle-blower is particularly important because for one thing, he's a nonpartisan, very well-regarded person with a stellar career who just does his job and has had very high profess tax cases, this is not a particular case having to do with hunter biden. he's being obstructed. that's what this whistle-blower complaint is about and this is what he wants to testify to congress about. and, you know, there's some hoops, legal hoops that have to be jumped over before that can be done. but it's a really big threat to joe biden's continual denial that his son has done anything wrong. that there has been any corruption involving him and that his claims that he knows nothing about his son, hunter, and his brother, jim's overseas business dealings. he was the product that they were selling. he met with hunter biden's bus

they have met with the individuals from the tax division and also others from delaware and also, david weisseen overseeing the case, and he stayed on after president trump left office to oversee this politically sensitive probe. we know that evan perez said that channels had been whittled down to a few tax crimes and false statements related to the purchase of a gun where biden did not disclose issues with addiction, but before that, that this is the first public occurrence related to the investigation since then, and right now, he has not been charged and unclear if he will. both representatives for hunter biden and the justice department declined to comment on the meeting. >>ly be curious to know if we find out what went on behind those doors. thank you, paula reid. kate. >> there is a trend with republican state lawmakers to restrict the care that transgendered youth are allowed to receive. by the last count there are more than 110 state bills to barring transgendered persons from receiving gender affirming care. in tennessee, the justice department is challenging a bill to prohibit gende

attorney david weiss was there as well. there is no indication hunter plans to fly under the radar even as a potential indictment looms, because there is no certainty he will actually face charges. we have seen him tacking alongside his president father. he was in ireland shake hands with throngs of excited people. and he was strolling around the east lawn of the white house in the easter egg roll. his dad running forral second term wants his son with him in public. liz: joining kneel, tom dupree. the "washington examiner" reports three former u.s. intelligence officials who signed that influential letter before the 2020 election falsely claiming the hunter biden laptop story was russian disinformation, they got jobs in biden's white house administration. >> it's very troubling. this letter which you point out was signed by a whole bunch of former national security official was orchestrated by the biden campaign to take the spotlight off the hunter biden laptop story. now we are learning that the people who who kowtowed to

the meeting was requested by hunter biden to meet with david weiss, u.s.ney and department of justice officials, the department has been investigating biden for a few years now yet not no charges. hunter's team wants to know, the status of the investigation but the same week his father's expected to announce a run for office again so then you have the whistleblower that worked for the irs coming to congressional republicans to say the probe into hunter is not being handled properly. maybe he's a little nervous, maybe he wants more disclosure because there's complements of events happening. stuart: you are right about that. secretary of state blinken, he wasn't secretary of the state of the time, he was advised of the biden campaign, he urged intelligence officials to write a letter dismissing the hunter biden laptop story called russian disinformation nonsense. lance gooden is on the house judiciary committee joins me n now. i called this a dirty trick, do you agree with that? >> but are we surprised? par for the course for the administration and what we s

jurisdictions where hunter biden lived and should have paid taxes, and merrick garland assured grassley david weiss has every authority and power he needs, i am backing him up, this is all independent. that is just the opposite of the truth. and really, if merrick garland doesn't know that he is not doing his job properly. the attorney general of the united states can't commit crimes by definition. that's got to be the end of him as our attorney general, i would think. >> it would be if you could prove it. all these people are clever. they have plausible deniability, layer upon layer in which they can pretend they don't know what's happened. that's what biden's entire business model is all about. his relatives go and get the bribes and he pretends he doesn't know about it. >> such a smart point. thank you so much for that summary tonight. we'll be talking again i hope. thank you. >> thank you. >> by the way, should say based on something miranda pointed out for all of the grouching we've done about the republican congress, it has been chuck grassley of iowa, ron johnson of wisconsin, two republican

the meeting between david weiss and hunter biden's legal team, this week but unknown where it will happen. weiss is a trump-appointed u.s. attorney, will he charge the biden or let him walk. all are possible. but a big decision, no doubt. congressman comer has talked at length about the whistleblower last week, irs agent came to congressional republicans via his lawyer, arguing the probe into hunter biden not being handled properly. this according to a source confirming this to fox news. we have reported that authorities have probed hunter's overseas business dealings, taxes and lying on a federal form related to a gun purchase. the whistleblower attorney told fox news the mystery is by design because that's why there are whistleblower protections ins place. when the time is right, the irs agent will come forward. fox has complained it is related to the younger biden. democrats claim they have not received significant information from the whistleblower's attorneys. and as for this meeting this week, john, multiple sources confirm it's just a meeting that has been planned for several weeks

we are told represents from david weiss's office were there, it's not clear if weiss was in person or perhaps joined virtually. no indication hunter will fly under the radar if a potential indictment looms, and i use the word potential, no certain he will face charges. here he is in ireland tagging alongside his presidential father, joe biden, they were there, you see hunter shaking hands with fans, and really to tell you, sandra, a few days before that he was also out in public strolling along the south lawn of the white house for the annual easter egg roll, another sign he has no problem appearing in public and clearly his father running for a second term wants his son right there next to him. sandra. >> sandra: we will be watching for all of that as we head into a new week. thank you. >> you are welcome. >> john: now that story we promised at the top of the hour, and that infamous letter signed by 51 former intelligence officials days before the 2020 election casting doubt on "the new york post" report on hunter biden's laptop. former ci occasion chief of station dan hoffman was as
