attorney david weiss can't do? >> so -- and it's clear from david weiss's most recent letter, he only has ultimate authority in his judicial district, the district of delaware, so if there are crimes that are occurring so offshoot investigations, these spinoffs, the ongoing investigation, and if those crimes are venued elsewhere, according to his letter, he only has authority in the district of delaware, and he was told that he would be given that authority to pursue charges outside of there, but there's no letter. there's no document, there's nothing that's there that indicates that he has that power to do that. >> you're talking about the june 7th letter that he wrote to members of congress. let me read that in part, i have been graedltimate authority over this matter including the responsibility for deciding where, when and whether to file charges. that's key and for making decisions necessary to preserve the integrity of the prosecution. what specific avenues of investigation do you want pursued that you believ

david weiss said yesterday the 1023 form is still part of an active investigation. i asked a spokesperson for weiss what that means because the hunter biden probe seems to be ending with a plea deal coming up in a couple weeks. i was told the letter speaks for itself. gary shapley also says that one of weiss' deputies, lisa wolf nixed plans to look at a guest home on the president's problem where hunter biden stayed. he said he stopped the plan due to optics. according to shapley, the decision was whether the juice was worth the squeeze. she was named 53 times in shapley's testimony. again, hunter biden appears before a federal judge that may or may not accept this plea deal on july 26 in delaware. martha? >> martha: may not is an open question. we'll see what that judge decides to do. we know you're watching it closely. thanks, david. >> thank you. >> let's bring in mark lytle. great to have you back on the program. thanks for being here. as david reported, this is the third time that david weiss has come forward to basically argue against your whistle-blower client

david weiss, the u.s. attorney in delaware wrote a letting indicating he won't meet that dea deadline. it is to answer questions from jim jordan and other republicans. the reason according to david weiss on why he can't do this, is because technically the hunter biden investigation is still an ongoing investigation. he has yet to formally enter his plea in front of a federal judge. that will happen at the end of the month. that's one of the ropes weiss said he can't answer those questions. in his letter to jordan weiss quoted a prior letter from june saying i have been granted ultimate authority in this matter including responsibility when, whether to file charges. a few weeks later jordan asked to weiss who told him to sign that letter? he doesn't believe weiss called the shots in the probe. he thinks it was the justice department in washington based off the testimony of i.r.s. whistleblower shapley who investigated the hunter biden probe and he insists he personally saw david weiss in a meeting complain

david weiss, the u.s.he republicans have not yet agreed to a date for david weiss to come and testify. jim jordan told me he wants to interview a number of witnesses before bringing weiss forward. they believe it's all an effort to set the record straight. they have not had any involvement in weiss's decision. so they's being prevented to publicly testify. >> just as you know, the prosecutor was appointed by the previous president, a republican. manu, thank you very much. >>> we'll continue to follow this news over hunter biden's plea deal. please do stay with us. all leard their money with chase. the chef's cooking up firsts wiwith her new debit card. hungry? -uhuh. the designer's eyeing sequinins. uh no plaid. while mom is eyeing his spending. nice. and the engineer? she's taking control with her own account for college. three futures, all with chase. freedom for kids. control for parents. one bank for both. chase. make more of what's yours. okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition. toge

attorney david weiss's role in the hunter biden probe. >> what the whistleblower's saying is that weissp is that he was not the deciding official on this case. if that turns out to be true, doesn't that directly contradict what the attorney general has said? >> but weiss is not saying that. isn't the source weiss? i mean, if weiss was saying that, i would have a certain. if weiss was out there saying i didn't have total authority, there was interference, but weiss, weiss is the key person and he's not saying that. >> fox news contributor joe concha joins us now. joe, good morning to you, so david weiss responded to congress's request for all the documents in the hunter biden case and he 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 h

about the irs agent asked david weiss to read the question because of what he said he thought was so important. and it really told that no i was denied being a special prosecutor. then the notes were taken back and a question asked again notes were taken back and sent to everybody in the meeting. so it's very hard to me of all thebe meetings i've been in if someone says one thing to me it's important, so i asked if i hear it right. and you come back with the same thing. i take notes about it and i send it to all of you. so i go back to you do you think that's a misunderstanding? in your meetings when you talk to me, you take notes, right? are you recording me right now? this is, right? okay. so that'sth like a note. with that began misunderstanding? and if you asked me another question because i insert a certain way to reaffirm that i answered, it would really check ball the boxes the way for any misunderstanding. i could understand if it's muffled on the phone call and gets caught away, maybe if i had a phone call from one country to another and that could be a misunderstanding. but

attorney in delaware david weiss asked to be appointed a special prosecutor and was denied by the justiceeiss sent a letter to lindsey graham on that front and he said i have not requested special counsel designation. rather than had discussions with officials regarding potential attorney, file charges outside the district of my own without the partnership of a local attorney. i was assured i would be granted this authority if it proved necessary. maybe he was not asked to be designated special counsel but explored the idea. >> he knew the hunter biden investigation transcended delaware, that in fact he needed global authority which he didn't have. the fact that he said i would be granted it if i asked for it means to me he would be granted it if he asked for it and they approved it because they then looking at what he had gave them an ok, and that's a long way from a special prosecutor who can go anywhere, any time to find the truth, which is really what this administration implied was weiss's authority but it clearly wasn't. >> john: interesting hearing tomorrow with the fbi director. l

attorney david weiss to make that happen. to actually put that testimony in the court transcript or the court record. no word if that will happen. the judge, a trump appointed judge will hear this plea agreement. 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

you look at the letters that david weiss sent to jim jordan june 7th, june 30th.ly giving jim jordan the middle finger. you can't investigate us because we have an active investigation. that's what they always use as an excuse so they've insulated themselves from scrutiny. elizabeth: final word with, jon levine. >> i mean, someone is lying. i mean, the key thing is we have to see the receipts, we have to see the papers. everyones has to put their cards on the table. elizabeth: got it. jon levine, you'll be back soon. he's a great writer. >>> this 2024 race is the kitchen table race. we've got more on even "the new york times" reporting about the, quote, trump economic boom. and again biden misleads. plus a new bombshell report out of house judiciary. why did the fbi work with ukraine to get social media to censor americans including journal is and a state -- journalists and a state department account? that's next on "the evening edits." ♪ ♪ today, my friend you did it, you did it, you did it... ♪ centrum silver is now clinically shown to support cognitive health i

asked david weiss to read the question because of what he said he thought was so important. and retold that, no, i was denied being a special prosecutor. and then the notes were taken back. a question was asked again, notes were taken back and sent to everybody at the meeting. so it's very hard to me, of all meetings i've been in, if someone says one thing to me, it's very important, so i asked, did i hear it right, and you come back with the exact same thing, i take notes about it and i send it to all of you. so i go back to you. do you think that's a misunderstanding? in your meetings when you talk to me, you take notes, right? are you recording any right now? but this is, right? ok. so that's like a note. would that be a misunderstanding? and if you ask me another question because i answered a certain way, to reaffirm what i answered, it would really check all the boxes away for any misunderstanding. i can understand if it's on a phone call and it gets caught away, that it's some phone call. maybe a phone call from one country to another. and that could be a misunderstand

david weiss never talked to him.had to have talked to lisa monico, while ag garland was tending to his ant farm. he's washed his hands of this investigation. >> laura: sol, if you're in the house, or house gop and want to conduct further hearings into this and can get the witness you want to talk to, who would you think would be most important witness at this point in light of how this all went down? >> i want to talk to lisa monico, merrick garland, talk to david weiss and to the u.s. attorneys and the thing is, like i said last week, they have already talked about david weiss and garland and what they authorized and didn't authorize without getting into the detail of the alleged crime. they can come and talk and lisa monico can be asked, are you the one david weiss called? what did he ask for? he already stated he did discuss special attorney status, that is critical. special attorney, not a special counsel, special attorney gives you the right to charge any district. which is what garland said, he always had it, i

attorney, david weiss. you know, what is going on with this investigation. there's a lot of conflicting stories. can you tell us a little bit about what is happening? in moments,ly speak with the speaker of the house, kevin mccarthy who joins us with his first on-camera reaction to director reyes testimony on the hill. first to mark meredith who gets us up to speed. >> the mystery of who brought cocaine in the west wing will go on even though the official investigation has wrapped up. the secret service says they're unable to figure who brought the drugs. at this point they don't know where they came from. this started back on july 2. it was a sunday evening when the secret service discovered powder in a west wing entrance. staffers use these places to hold items. the white house family was not at the white house. they were at camp david. the secret service says there was no surveillance video footage that found any leads or any other evidence to identify who may have deposited the found substance in this area. today secret service officials were on capitol

the federal prosecutor, david weiss, u.s.ttorney in delaware is doubling down once again insisting that not only was he in charge but is still in charge of the hunter biden probe. this despite the claims from irs gary shapley otherwise known as westbound number 1. house republicans want information from david weiss and giving him a deadline for tomorrow. it appears he won't meet the deadline. he wrote to jim jordan late last week saying he won't make the deadline. it all began with a different june 7th letter earlier this month. white said "i have been granted ultimate authority over this matter including responsibility for deciding where and when to file charges. a few weeks later, jordan wrote back to weiss asking him who signed the letter. jordan doesn't believe that weiss called the shots. he thinks it was the top leadership here at the justice department here in washington d.c. jordan believes this based off of win shapley's temperatures. and shapley has been on the record numerous times and insists that he say david wei

on that guy, david weiss, it seems like between david weiss and the attorney general, somebody elset the department of justice is calling the shots. >> right and keeps pointing back to people like david weiss, if not weiss, start you can taking about who it is. we are not done with this investigation and it is not just about hunter biden, we've seen references to the big guy and there are bank accounts we are seeing the administration trying to block and the white house trying to block. you just saw days ago, for years, including during the campaign, joe biden kept saying he never talked with his family about business dealings. we have video of joe biden saying that and a couple days ago, karine jean-pierre changes that and says he never was in business with his family. that is a major change. the white house hasn't explained that, what about the times joe biden chided other people, including during the campaign by saying i never talked to anybody in my family about business dealings. it emzoos clear that is no longer the case, there is evidence of him talking about business dealing

david weiss will have to defend himself.nk we would find it very odd that these are the guys telling the truth and david weiss, someone who had to go through the u.s. senate somehow not telling the truth as a prosecutor. >> laura: oh, the u.s. senate. because they never get it wrong. your response? >> i think he represented himself very well today. i think the american public could see for himself who gary and joe zeigler were and i think it was impressive. >> laura: to you what was the most impressive part of today, i mean one moment? >> for them to talk about quo imperative to them goal to the to tank any particular plea deal or anything else equal justice under the law. >> laura: americans who care about the system. >> that's right. >> ro khanna tried to smear your clients today, their credibility. watch. >> is it true that you have often disagreed, your recommendations have often been disregarded before when it comes to charging decisions? is that true? >> i don't think disregardside accurate representation. >> they have

david weiss, the u.s. attorney in delaware who's supposedly handling the case.ernative general's been pretty quiet other than what he testified to which is david weiss has full authority, but now david weiss tells us he doesn't, and more importantly, gary shapley and ziegler both told us all lu this investigation the investigators and prosecutors were on the same page, and then manager happened near the end of 2022, october of 2022 it all changes, and that's this now-famous meeting where david weiss tells mr. shapley and and others of the investigative team, he says i asked for special counsel status, main justice wouldn't give it to me. that is the key distinct. -- distinction. mr. garland says, no, no, no, he had full authority, he could have had special counsel if that's what he really wanted. we've got to find out who's telling the truth. my gut tells me it's the two whistleblowers. maria: all of this leads to many people in the house saying it is time to draw up impeachment articles. are you moving to impeach attorney general merrick garland? >> this is the

merrick garland and david weiss should be ashamed. bill mcgurn, your reaction to that. >> i agree entirely. look, this plea deal depended on no one asking any real questions. it's amazing to me that the minimum examination was absolved. the judge couldn't say they were ending all charges. they had to say it was ongoing. that's what david weiss and merrick garland used not to answer questions from congress. so i think it makes it a lot harder. i think hunter biden, of course, is a real loser immediately. i think joe biden is the big loser down the road. every day there's more and more information from congress casting doubt on claims, the kind of sargent schultz defense, i know nothing about biden. and monday, we're going to hear from devin archer, one of hunter's business partners that the president -- that joe was on the speaker phone with some high biden business partners. so i think it becomes unsustainable. the white house is still not accepting reality. they've been let off the hook so far by few reporters willing to press them.

attorney fbi agents doj tax attorneys, of course, ultimately david weiss as i said in the hearing mr. weiss wrote to me two different occasions kwa different stories june 7 last month said oh, i have complete authority to determine when charges are filed where charges are filed whether charges are filed totally authority he said, 23 days later wrote me again said well actually i don't, it is just limited to my geographic -- u.s. attorney district which is it? he wrote to senator graham july 10 said something different his story changeing the testimony of mr. shapley mr. ziegler has not they reported contemporaneously, their stuff stands up, what we are hearing from white house, and justice department, doesn't seem to stand up. maria: i know that you've been doing a lot of depositions, in this discovery process speaking to witnesses so i want your take on that. what have you learned mr. chairman, that is most important from all these investigations, whether it be, you know the weaponization of government, and you know doj ignoring real crimes or whether it be the actual money that has

what was the significance of david weiss?r many americans, as the irs saying one thing and fbi saying something else, it's hard to know who to cheer for in this battle. that said, david weiss has the responsibility to share with congress and the american people why he made the decision he did and you either have made a decision based off sound reasoning with evidence on his side or the whistleblowers will be proven correct. if ultimately these proven to try to cover something up, it will be another political headache for the biden administration. stuart: hunters former business partner devon archer is expected to testify next monday. it seems the case is about to be blown wide open. >> an interesting development from the perspective of we've been told by this administration and so many of his allies in the media president biden is this loving father and has been beside hunter throughout all his life and whatever he's been able to help, he has particularly with hunters unfortunate drug problem but now we're supposed to believe

>> from david weiss? >> yes, david weiss. all these names. you keep it straight for us. >> yes, look, i think of the main thing we really want to hear from david weiss is why did he let hunter biden off the hook as the i.r.s. investigators who were on that criminal case for five years have alleged? they have testified that the d.o.j. slow rolled and obstructed their investigations, wouldn't allow them to get search warrants, for instance of hunter biden's locker or joe biden a cab-in on his property where hunter biden was living. david weiss, we were told by the attorney general, had full authority. well, they say ultimate authority about where and when to bring charges. but i think that again they are using lawyer speak because it looks as if ultimate authority is not the same as complete or full authority. david weiss has what he has said about how much authority he had conflicts with what both the attorney general said and also what the i.r.s. whistleblower said. i think it's important that he come before the house and testify, alongside t

david weiss has complete authority. now suddenly he doesn't because you guys came forward and told the truth. i yelled back. >> the chair now recognizes mr. lynch from massachusetts. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i want to thank the witnesses for helping us out. i am surprised, though, that there seems to be a new level of hypocrisy here. as a long-standing member of this committee, i think most of the members who have served a long time you know full well what political interference and what sweetheart deals look like. and i think context is very important. in 2017, we had a situation where a former national security advisor and trump campaign sergei, michael flynn, was indicted. indicted by a federal jury, federal grand jury. he pled guilty twice. and he lied to fbi agents about his communications with the russian government prior to the inauguration of president trump. he was only national security advisor for 22 days. but my colleagues on the other side of the aisle had no interest, zero interest in looking into that

david weiss is now saying he did not have authority.had some promise of future authority if conditions are met. taking his most recent two letters at face value, the attorney general's testimony was not accurate. and this is just a mess. and i really commend chairman comer for having hearing because, quite frankly, other than his committee, congress really has not done enough to to get to the bottom of this. elizabeth: yeah, so -- go ahead, sam. >> they need to move, and they need to move now. elizabeth: got it. >> compare this to the trump impeachment. there was a transcript, the white house released it immediately. all the corroborating documents are in the possession of the department of justice. they are fighting tooth and nail in federal court on a freedom of information act, the decline production, they're refusing to produce to the hill. elizabeth: congressman marjorie taylor greene asked why democrats are not talking about hunter biden's abuse of women, treating women, she said, as if they were, quote, office supplies, asking if

attorney david weiss preparing to meet with the house oversight committee about alleged interferencee hunter biden case. this is what we have been waiting for, at the same time whistleblowers will meet with oversight, which you are on. weiss versus whistleblowers, opportunity under oath to figure out who is telling the truth and whether or not david weiss had authority to charge hunter biden or not. what questions will you ask the whistleblowers when they come on? >> i sure wish it were merrick garland going to the judiciary committee and should be. my message to merrick garland, show up to congress and answer for the potential cover-up we discovered, both on judiciary and oversight committee and really end of the day, who do we trust the most? do we trust the fbi and doj or the whistleblowers? that is what our questions, my questions will be centered on. i will do weekend reading this weekend to get caught up on all the other bombshell evidence, some evidence came out about romania yesterday i want to get on top of to make sure when we have whistleblowers come in and one has yet to

david weiss never talked to him. had to have talked to lisa monaco, the deputy while i guess a.g. farland was tending to his ant farm. i don't know what he does but he certainly has washed his hands of this investigation. >> laura: sol, if you are in the house or house g.o.p. and you want to conduct further hearings into this and you can get the witness you want to talk to, who would you think would be the most important witness at this point to shed light on how this all went down? >> i want to talk to lisa monaco. i want to talk to merrick garland. i want to talk to david weiss. and i want to talk to those u.s. attorneys. the thing is, like i said last week, they have already talked about weiss and garland they have already talked about what they authorized and didn't authorize without getting into the details of the alleged crimes. so they can come and talk and lisa monaco can just be asked are you the one that david weiss called? what did he ask for? what did you tell him? he has already stated in one of his many

he is being used for political gain. >> jackie, weigh in on david weiss. he agreed to testify in front of a republican-held conference in the fall, and he said, and i quote, it is the most appropriate time for any testimony on the subjects after the matter is closed. does that mean it's likely that testimony is going to get kicked down the road considering where we are with this plea deal now no longer? >> that's a really good question. there seems to be a high likelihood that prosecutors and the defense are going to resolve this, although considering how politicized the issue is, i could very well be wrong. but i do think that justice department officials think it's important for david weiss, the u.s. attorney for delaware, who was appointed by trump and led the five-year investigation for hunter biden to testify publicly, and try to dispel some of the misperceptions as weiss has called it about accusations of political meddling. republicans based on testimony from the whistleblowers made a lot of claims about weiss and what he tried to do in his position

david weiss special counsel status. iss has pushed back against the perception reiterating in a letter that he was granted ultimate authority over the matter, including responsibility for deciding where, when, whether to file charges but clarified as we just noted there that the authority lies in his home district, seemingly unless he requests special attorney status from the a.g. who offered this clarification. listen. >> the only person with authority to make somebody a special counsel or refuse to make somebody a special counsel is the attorney general. mr. weiss never made that request to me. >> molly: what do you make of this? >> well, david weiss got tired of being poked in the chest so he had to say something, what he did. but come on, if it looks like a sweetheart deal and it quacks like a sweetheart deal, it's a sweetheart deal. why is it a sweetheart deal? in the real world any defense attorney who can negotiate this kind of deal, which is basically a unicorn because it never happens, would get a medal from all

the next thing have you got do, byron is get david weiss. when are we going to see david weiss?, i think david weiss will probably be something for jim's committee in judiciary. i will be watching with baited breath because i truly believe that merrick garland and the department of justice are simply not telling the truth in this matter. and one of the other questions i have is what does the white house counsel know and when they were advised about all this stuff and when was joe biden briefed on this. now, as president of the united states. because that's going to be very key in a lot of this as well. >> brian: i just don't know why william barr didn't bring some of this forward? did it ever get up to his level. congressman jordan looking forward to seeing you later today and congressman donalds. >> brian: straight ahead, with the first fox debate five weeks away, rnc chairwoman ronna mcdaniel joins us live on the state of the 2024 race. who qualified? who didn't? but, first, the gospel according to president xi. a stunning new op-ed details how communist china is trying to rew

attorney david weiss to release information on just what happened in that botched probe. more. david. >> reporter: hi, liz, good evening. david weiss is a donald trump-appointed u.s. attorney that stayed on during the biden administration to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest. he is doubling down that he has not only been in charge, but still continues to be in charge of the hunter biden investigation. we suppose it's not officially are over until that plea deal is approved by a judge, if it's approved by a judge. but several republicans, house republicans, don't believe that he's actually the one calling the shots, although that's what he's telling congress. house are republicans are giving him until tomorrow to answer several questions about this probe; namely, who has been in charge from the beginning. now, he wrote them late last week warning them he would not meet their deadline. it all began with a different june 7th letter where he wrote, i have been granted ultimate authority over this matter including responsibility for deciding where, when and whether

we knew it was not going to come back together was when david weiss, the u.s. attorney that has been leading this year's long investigation was looking at something with his team and said, well, we can't get around that. pointing to some part of it. that is when a member of the defense team came and said, rip it up. we knew at that point it was not going to come together, sean. >> sean: great reporting all day long for the channel. thank you, sir. here with reaction james comer. house judiciary committee chairman jim jordan. house ways and means committee and chairman's jason smith. jim jordan, let me start with you. i smell a rat here and i suspect that the judge did as well. we are to believe that this critically important point, that this deal would ensure that there would be no further prosecution for hunter biden. somehow they have had a misunderstanding at that point. i am not buying that for one second. >> this is now the fourth time that the doj's story has changed. david weiss said that he had all this authority and said that no, i don't. it limited to

attorney david weiss. this in regard to the hunter biden investigation after bombshell testimony from an i.r.s. whistleblower. weiss is the prosecutor who gave hunter a plea deal on minor tax crimes and seems unwilling to comply and they may have to subpoena him to get his testimony. david spunt, the department of justice updates us today. hello, good morning. >> good morning to you both. mystery over who is actually calling the shots in the hunter biden investigation is taking a new turn. the trump-appointed u.s. attorney david weiss is doubling down once again insisting he has been in charge of this probe, remains in charge of this probe despite what a whistleblower told congress and told bret baier on our air. david weiss is a trump-appointed u.s. attorney based in wilmington, delaware kept on during the biden administration to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest. house republicans want info from him tomorrow, the deadline is tomorrow. weiss wrote a letter late last week warning he won't make

. >> evan, i also want to ask you about david weiss, who is the u.s.y who was in charge of the hunter biden investigation. as we said and you reported on, he came out and said that certain things that were being said about him were simply not true. he is now the focus of a new attack from former president donald trump. what's being said here? >> well, you know, david weiss, of course, is now in the next couple of weeks is going to sign officially this deal with hunter biden. and republicans believe that it's a sweetheart deal. that because he is going to plead guilty to misdemeanors. donald trump, on truth social, his social media platform said this. he said weiss is a coward, a smaller version of bill barr, who never had the courage to do what everyone knows should have been done. he gave out a traffic ticket instead of a death sentence. he goes on, again, on his platform saying the collusion and corruption is beyond description. two tiers of justice, of course referring to the fact that obviously the justice department has been a lot more harsh in it

attorney david weiss to lindsey graham, the third time david weiss has contradicted the irs whistleblower. gary shapley, the -- claims that david weiss claimed that he was not running the hunter biden probe, asked to be special counsel and was denied that and told he could not bring charges outside of delaware against hunter biden. weiss wrote to lindsey graham i was assured that i would be granted this authority if it proved necessary. the whistleblower's attorney responded in a statement in the last hour that weiss's story continues to change. meanwhile, senator chuck grassley and his fellow republicans are eyeing not only david weiss for a sweetheart deal for hunter biden, look at his deputy, leslie wolf, and says nixed the plan to look at a guest house on the president's property, and more than probable cause but stopped it to optics. and said the decision was whether the juice was worth the squeeze. a registered democrat and mentioned by names 53 times in shapley's talking to congress. and asking why there were no irs agents involving leslie wolf about a specific 1023 form. we have t

david weiss, also a trump appointee. it's true.said he was someone who shared his vision for making america safe again. >> jesse: blocked from bringing felony charges on two separate -- >> jessica: he sent another letter saying -- >> jeanine: at the time they made contemporaneous notes that are very important -- >> jessica: because mr. x ziegler, wasn't even in the meeting that he is talking about between shapley and david weiss where this allegedly happened. that's pretty important -- >> jeanine: shapley was in it and he made the contemporaneous notes. >> jessica: he also today has admitted that garland did not lied to congress and garland said that he did not interfere whatsoever with david weiss' investigation. again, a trump appointee. >> jesse: when he says to congress that he had no issue with him bringing any charges anywhere, that's not true, so why didn't he bring charges in california and d.c.? >> jessica: that was his choice. >> jesse: they didn't make that choice! he lied on charges, presented the case to these attorney

attorney, david weiss lie? >> i have no idea what his motives or beliefs are, all i can do is present the fact toss congress and it's for them to determine, and the american people and the administration to make the proper decision on how to move forward. >> so, you're a 13-year veteran of the irs, is that correct? >> i am. >> is the most high profile potentially, the most sensitive case that you've ever worked on. >> i would so. >> when you say you've seen abnormal on this case, what other cases do you compare it to. >> i'm actually working on a bigger case than this, and i can tell you, the assigned prosecutors on that case, have not had anything we went through being completely hamstrung, not following the process, the storage unit that we wanted to search, i think it's important for people to understand that we had a plan to move forward and even david weiss agreed to the plan. they told defense counsel that we knew about the storage unit and you need to turn over the records. we were relying on him and his

attorney david weiss has full authority stood whatever he wants and there was -- to do whatever he wantsal involvement. but gary shapley suggested, said in testimony that, in fact, david weiss did not get to make the decisions about charging, that he'd come up with a case, he wanted to file it in d.c. and in california and was blocked by biden-appointed attorneys there. and the new york times in a story at least confirmed the california episode. so that would suggest that, in fact, we already know that there has been some political interference. paul: bill, where does the congress have to the two go here to basically -- to go here to find out who's telling the truth? right now you have two different stories about what actually happened and whether david weiss was blocked or not? >> well, like kim, i read the testimony, and it's really very particular. and and they name names. he says, you know, david weiss told six people in a room that he didn't have authority that merrick garland claimed he did. also named assistant u.s. attorney leslie wolf as having blocked a search warrant and said

do you think david weiss is lying?en you need to have whoever helped you for this presentation today, and then there was a follow-up letter where he corrected himself and a third let they're corrected himself that said that he did not then have that ability, that he was provided specific content that that would not be happening. so he got back, honestly, with senators that were involved, and the house committee on ways and means and james comer, government reform and oversight, and sent three letters in total that corrected himself each and every time. >> so, you have reports of this committee that you are on, the oversight committee, that have not found a link between hunter biden -- and i think it is fair to say that as we look at the behavior of hunter biden, it raises serious questions, and we've seen that, and he has this plea deal. but your own reports haven't found that -- if i may, because this is the important point i want to make -- developed a link between hunter biden and president biden and that question o

attorney david weiss has full authority to bring whatever charges he wanted, but two irs investigatorsned whistle-blowers recently told congress that was not true. >> it appeared to me, based on what i experienced, that the u.s. attorney in delaware in our investigation was constantly hamstrung, limited, and marginalized by doj officials, as well as other u.s. attorneys >> reporter: meanwhile, hunter biden's foreign business dealings at the center of house republicans' growing investigations into the president that could lead to an impeachment inquiry. >> an impeachment inquiry is allowing congress to get the information. >> reporter: the president has repeatedly denied he spoke to his son about his businesses so far, the gop providing no evidence of wrongdoing, and hunter biden also at the center of another controversy. with president biden facing criticism for not publicly acknowledging his seventh grandchild, hunter's daughter. >> i have six grandchildren, and i'm crazy about them >> reporter: hunter biden and the child's mother recently concluded a legal dispute. the white house ha

also with david weiss, saying that he's a trump appointee.e forget president obama appointed him in 2009 as attorney general and the only reason trump picked him is because the democrat senators in delaware urged trump that he's a good pick. trump is not good with picking people anyway. point being, they gave information about hunter biden and luck, joe biden himself january 23 of 2018 said you are not going to get the billion dollars to the son of the sob and got fired, and he bragged about that at the council. i watched the whole way he did that. both of these guys, trump and biden, they pretty much loath guilty of the same thing. republicans are guilty of it. democrats are guilty of it. both sides guilty of the same thing. we got to stop this picking sides stuff and stop trying to make justifications for things. i'm not saying this because i hate. there's just too much evidence. russian collusion was nothing. i did believe that at one time, but we heard that for nearly three years. nothing. there's too much stuff coming out with this. host

the first one we need to hear from is david weiss. said in the letter that he was able to do any investigation he wanted, bring charges wherever he wanted. that's not what joseph ziegler said. let's find out what the truth is. >> shannon: he is in apparently communications with congressional committees led by republicans on the house side about having some communication with elm. this obviously we are closely tracking. you are always welcome to come here first if you would like to give us an interview as well. let's talk about president trump. we get a date today for his trial related to the mar-a-lago documents. that's going to be may 20th. i think all of us who have practiced feel like it was all the pre-trial motions and shenanigans that's not going to happen. there is also this from the guardian talking about we are waiting to see what the georgia special grand jury has. they say in the trump investigation the fulton county district attorney fanny willis has evidence racketeering indictment influencing wins and computer trespass p

today is july the 6th and it is an important day in the life of david weiss. the u.s.ttorney for delaware. he's guy who's been investing for the last five years the hunter biden thing. today is the deadline for him because the house judiciary committee chairman, jim jordan, sent him a letter asking mr. weiss to explain that june 7th letter that he sent to jim jordan asking him to explain why you said, mr. weiss, that you had the ultimate authority over the hunter biden investigation but now we've got this whistleblower who's come forward and he said that you said i'm not the decider. so essentially what he's asking for is he's asking for information. but it's not about the hunter biden case, because that's still ongoing. instead, he's asking about the retaliation against that man, irs special agent gary shapley, who spilled the beans. and so today's the day mr. weiss has got to produce evidence for the republicans up on capitol hill about the whistleblower. >> kayleigh: and he said he's not going to because there's an ongoing investigation into hunter, it's an ongoing

david weiss was a trump employee.n an absolute truth teller and straight shooter. i think the most interesting allegation that does need to be looked into is that this claim that certain avenues of investigation were cut off. as a prosecutor you're supposed to take your leads wherever they go. follow them wherever they may go. and if it's the case that somebody said let's not look there. let's not push too strongly on that, then we need to know that and i think the whistle-blowers need to be heard on that. >> tdo you think this ends with garland or the u.s. attorney here coming forward publicly and explaining what happens? >> it sounds like after hunter biden is supposed to be in court next week to appear on these misdemeanor tax charges he's facing, then the u.s. attorney is free to appear in congress, and it sounds like it's likely he will be there to answer some of these questions. >> it seems inevitable to some degree and necessary. >> perhaps worthwhile. this is different than an investigation into a former curre

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

what david weiss? do he will not give that material over.an ironclad rule of, doj imagine if doj started opening up its files to congress. it would lead to all sorts of ridiculous results, and problematic results. so let's say david weiss and doj say, no we are not going, to do it from jordan is going to find him in content, maybe, then, what where discontent get set for prosecution, to doj. checkmate. so, i applaud david, weiss and -- as much as it has been, critical i think they're holding the line here. >> does not mean house republicans will stop trying to do that information. elie honig, thank, you let's see what that looks like. up next, we have the latest on the urgent search underway in baltimore tonight still underway after another mass shooting has left two people, that at more than two dozen injured following a holiday block party while raising the reward help track down the multiple suspects that are believed to be responsible, and the latest on another shooting in the u.s.. >> -- in a mass shooting in southwest philadelphia. pol
