the burisma years, it was david weiss in charge and david weiss allowed the statute of limitations toexpire. is that not true? those were the burisma holding money years? if that happened and david weiss, correct me if i'm wrong, was it his original plan not to charge hunter and the whistleblowers came forward and that led to the sweetheart deal that blew up in court because a judge read the agreement and said she had never seen anything like this in her life next and even got the defense to say they had never seen anything like it in their lives. that led to david weiss finally having the power that he had at one point and then said he didn't have two go after tax charges in washington and california? >> that's exactly right, sean. what's interesting is that this sweetheart plea agreement, the original one, came out two days before the ways and means committee released the irs whistleblower testimony. that whistleblower testimony is what blew up that sweetheart deal. if that sweetheart deal wouldn't have blown up, the charges would have never came in california. this would have all b

i think the big takeaway is what david weiss didn't charge hunter biden with. he didn't charge him with those tax years, 2014, 2050, when he got the income from burisma. >> in fact, he let the statute of limitations expire because it's one thing to have a gun charge in delaware that doesn't get you to the white house. another thing to have tax charges in l.a. that doesn't get to the white house. but the burisma tax years do. and that's what's in that 1023 form? that's why they want the earlier one as well. >> and we've asked the fbi to produce when this became an issue, why wouldn't they automatically have handed i handed you the other 1023 for in other words, were they hiding it from you? >> don't they seem like the very cooperative? >> great question. i don't know. they were hiding it from us, but we learned it when we talked to scott brady, the u.s. attorney who bill barr charged ,filtering all this stuff and getting it out to the appropriate u.s. attorneys for investigate. >> and he started he filed it out finally, after six months when they should have tur

summer that fell apart in july, bret, when a delaware federal judge criticized the deal offered by david weiss, now the special counsel. an attorney on weiss' team said today in front of hunter and the judge that pleas fall through all the time. according to the indictment, the government says instead of paying taxes, hunter spent his money on women, clothing, and health and beauty products. hunter is also charged with federal firearms violations in delaware. he allegedly lied about his substance abuse on a federal firearm form and owned a gun in 2018 for less than two weeks. that case is moving toward trial but slowly in delaware, bret. and, of course, just yesterday, the president's son made a surprise appearance at his own contempt hearing on capitol hill in washington. he left after a few minutes and then took the flight back promptly here to los angeles, california. the next hearing in this case takes place in l.a. on march 27th. it's possible, bret, a plea deal could be worked out with special counsel david weiss but all indications are hunter biden is going to fight this one until the v

he was indicted last month by special counsel david weiss who says that hunter biden failed to pay at least $1.4 million in taxes, even though he eventually paid it back via the help of a friend, david weiss says hunter biden had plenty of money to pay his taxes. instead, spend it on a "extravagant lifestyle," some of the expenses. 1.6 million plus in atm withdrawals, 683,000 plus for payments to various women. $188,000 on adult entertainment. $237,000 on health, beauty and pharmacy products. now, david weiss charged hunter biden here in los angeles because this is where he has lived for the past several years. hunter is here in the first place because a plea deal with the government fell through in a public way in july in delaware. the federal judge said the deal is unprecedented, started asking questions and here we are today. and charged with firearms in delaware, lied of substance abuse on a federal firearm form about owning a gun. he owned a gun less than two weeks. that case is moving to trial but slowly. again, sandra, john, we expect it to be a first appearance. arraignment 20

david weiss from new york is another opponent of the zionist regime. he says: i am ready to be killed in the war with the zionists. i am ready, but they don't allow us to enter israel, and we have to expose the nature of this regime from here and fight it. we announce to the world that this regime is not a religious regime, but is anti-religious and anti-divine we pray that the hands of the zionists will be shortened from the occupied palestine. khakam weiss he emphasizes the explicit command of the torah and says: the occupying group came with political goals. they have established a government in palestine in the name of the jewish religion, and by encroaching on other people's land , they occupy it and kill people. which divine religion has granted such a right to its followers? along with khakam and jewish scholars, some history researchers are also in the line of opponents of zionism. like ilan pope. israeli historian and social activist, who consider the forced migration of palestinians to be ethnic cleansing. he says: i believe in in a land wher

so i think david weiss is going to be all hands on deck. he will go after him.very strong chance at a conviction there. i don't see a way out for him and we have the contempt proceedings. maybe hunter biden thinks his father will pardon him in the end and flitting the law in the way he is. >> julie: hunter's lawyer. he needs to comply with the law. hunter's lawyer is saying new subpoena is issued he will comply. they learned their lesson. he already not complied the first time. it won't make the contempt charge go away. >> now he may reach an agreement with capitol hill that now he will start to participate and they will back off. >> julie: do you think they would drop the charge? that's a dangerous precedent. i honestly once again anybody who does this, they don't get away with it. by giving him some kind of deal is once again showing favoritism and playing toward the president's family. it's not okay. >> hunter is facing a lot of problems in the upcoming months. most important to think about with the capitol hill subpoena he is likely to take the fifth on ever

special counsel david weiss's team is pushing back on that saying the evidence against hunter biden isverwhelming. this quote, the defendant's theory of vindictiveness is not credible. it is a fiction designed for a hollywood script. jason chaffetz, former republican congressman for utah and fox news contributor. great to see you. first of all, let's talk about that gun charge because what he did was he lied on a form about drug abuse and got a gun anyway. the rest of us would have a problem with that like years in prison. >> yeah, it is an abnormal number of years, a simple gun case, supposedly happened, the allegation is in 2018. now we're coming around to getting to it? look, if not for a judge, if not for some whistleblowers, the whole hunter biden case, i think, would be off in the distance. then the obviously the sloppiness of hunter biden of leaving his laptop up there for everybody to look at. when you have david weiss going out there saying the evidence is overwhelming and to blame it on republicans is absurd. it wouldn't even fit a hollywood script. the prosecutor makes a rea

rabbi david weiss. new york another opponent is the zionist regime.we are not allowed to enter israel. and we have to expose the nature of this regime and fight it. we announce to the world that this regime is not a religious regime, but is anti-religious and anti-divine, and we pray that the hand of the zionists will be shortened from the occupied palestine. khakam weiss by explicit order:

instead of facing republicans today, he will be across the courtroom from special prosecutor david weiss of course, david weiss who announced last month those charges against hunter biden nine tax related charges in all including failure to file and pay taxes and assessment. it w will be a far more serious setting today than the circuit like setting that was the result of his surprise appearance on capitol hill yesterday when republicans republicans said hunter biden was afraid to face them because he is defying as we know that subpoena to testify behind closed doors while hunter biden and his supporters said no, it was republicans who were afraid to hear from the president's son publicly. listen to the exchange here. >> what is hunter biden so afraid of? why can't you show up for a congressional deposition? you're here for a political stunt. this is just a p.r. stunt it to you. >> the only folks that are afraid to hear from the witness with the american people watching are my friends on the other side of the aisle. >> so, in just a few hours' time, hunter biden will be here at this fede

why that not initiate from david weiss, the prosecutor, a real charge against hunter?l plan was no charges at all and that it was a sweetheart deal. thank god a judge in delaware stopped that and now maybe we'll get some real answers but david weiss has been nothing but a special pleader, not a special prosecutor as it relates to hunter. >> yeah, listen. so much to distrust about the justice department in this case. 2018 when donald trump was present in all the way to today with merrick garland and joe biden. almost certainly my fbi sources the gun would've been tested immediately. which means the government has known for five years that the gun had cocaine on it. hunter biden is trying to take the charges saying there's no reason to charge me. you can't prove that i was a cocaine addict. the fbi came back and says unfortunately your pouch says otherwise. every time hunter biden punches, he gets punched back harder because the facts are not in his favor. >> sean: john solomon. justthenews.com. thank you, great breaking news. today the house rules committee, they cancel

then david weiss, the u.s. attorney in delaware, became special counsel. he asked the attorney general for special counsel status and then he charged hunter biden for the exact same charges that hunter biden was ready to plead guilty to back on july 26th. he was ready to plead guilty to the federal firearm charges and ready to plead guilty to the tax violations. now he's being charged on the fir firearms, here in california where he's lived on taxes and the same thing that he was getting ready to plead guilty to and now he's not completing guilty to. i'm going to check with the team here. looks like the hearing continues, release conditions from delaware remains, was asked if he understood if he violated the terms of release. could be revoked. he said i do. nothing majorly significant now. any updates we'll pass them along. >> neil: david, even though his lawyer was more than happy to talk to reporters outside this congressional hearing room yesterday and in fact hunter himself was responding to hillary vaughn's questioning, none of that is planned for tod

david weiss says hunter biden had plenty of money to pay these taxes.o use them on an extravagant lifestyle, that includes more than 1.6 in atm withdrawals, $683,000 for payments to various women. 400,000 for clothing. 188,000 on adult entertainment and 240,000 health and beauty and pharmacy products. the special counsel charged hunter biden in california where he lives. hunter is here in the first place, martha, because a plea deal fell apart in wilmington, delaware. the judge said this deal is unprecedented. started asking questions and how we are in california today. hunter biden is charged with firearms violations in delaware. he lied about his substance abuse on a federal firearm form. again, this begins in 15 minutes. it's supposed to be a first appearance in an arraignment. should be 20, 30 minutes. as we saw with the plea deal that fell through on capitol hill, this could change dramatically. martha? >> busy times for hunter biden going from capitol hill to an l.a. courtroom in less than a day. david, thank you. we'll watch this as it unfolds li

the special counsel in this case, david weiss, he's been investigating hunter biden since 2018.me special counsel after that plea deal fell through this summer. he's had total autonomy to be able to investigate something. if there was something there that merited an investigation or impeachment of president biden, you would have seen it by now. but he is being politically prosecuted and i can say that as a former prosecutor. he's being politically prosecuted because his last name is biden. as we have seen a motion to dismiss and hunter biden's other indictment, the gun charge brought in delaware, we will expect to see a motion to dismiss that is filed by his lawyer, hunter biden's lawyer in this tax case, the government has been made whole, there is -- you have to be able to show that over the span of the time that he was willfully avoiding his tax liabilities, but, look, it is the referral perhaps to the department of justice that comes from him refusing to testify that is also an issue for hunter biden, but we saw that happen before. we saw jim jordan of the republicans not do

david weiss, of course, is the man that announced the various tax charges against hunter biden last monthent on those charges here today. of course, it will all be far more controlled than what we saw on the hill yesterday when hunter biden showed up unexpectedly at that committee hearing. the committee, of course, considering whether to charge him with contempt over his refusal to appear to answer congressional subpoena to testify behind closed doors. hunter biden of course says he was happy to speak publicly, but not privately. both sides during that hearing accused the other of being afraid. listen here. >> what is hunter biden so afraid of? why can't you show up for a congressional deposition? you're here for a political stunt. this is just a p.r. stunt to you. >> the only folks that are afraid to hear from the witness with the american people watching are my friends on the other side of the aisle. >> so in just about an hour this arraignment hearing will get underway. the beginning in effect of proceedings that present in essence the greatest threat to hunter biden's continued freedo

this as it normally would, or whether they decide to refer this to hunter biden's special counsel, david weiss resolution. >> jen, i think we can see, this is an election year, it does seem republicans are not operating in full faith with some of these investigations. but i think we should be clear about the process. it is up to them to determine how an interview or an appearance goes. i mean if they wanted to be behind closed doors, isn't that up to them just as it would be up to democrats on the flipside, if they were in the majority? >> it is up to them, briana, as far as how they hold their heads but that it comes to the question of whether someone can be criminally charged for contempt of congress. that's not what doj will consider. what they will consider is whether there was good faith negotiations, whether the witness completely blew off the subpoena, failed to negotiate at all, just denied it altogether, as in the case of the two people who were actually charged of contempt of congress, steve bannon and i'm forgetting his name, the economic advisor to former president trump because th

it follows a new filing from special counsel david weiss earlier this week that sheds new light on the infamous laptop the hunter biden never retrieved from a repair shop. they received information from his icloud account even before getting the laptop. more than 50 former intelligence officials chalked up the laptop to possible russian disinformation and we have reported for years, it is not. >> bill: thank you, david. nice to see you david spunt. more to come. >> why was this bigger than any other iowa caucus? >> because the biden administration is so bad and we now have a contrast. you didn't have a contrast so much before. now you have a contrast. >> dana: president trump arguing voters' dissatisfaction with president biden helped his win in iowa. new hampshire is seen as nikki haley's best chance for an upset. she is trailing but within striking distance. we have analysis. we begin with alexus mcadams to set us all up from new hampshire. >> the heat is on on the campaign trail in the granite states as candidates try to gain more support. one thing we know about the former presiden

special counsel david weiss says even though the taxes were paid it doesn't stop the fact it too years for hunter biden to do so. the first son had plenty of money to pay his taxes but he spent his money on women, clothing, health and beauty products. with kevin morris what happens anyone's guess until we read the transcript. inside the room will ask him about financially helping hunter biden and if any of this is related to the president of the united states. this is considered part of the impeachment inquiry into joe biden, not hunter biden. so expect republicans to see if there are any direct connections between morris and the president that may be nefarious. hunter biden's attorney is said to be negotiating with republicans in the house to have hunter appear for not only a closed door deposition but perhaps some sort of public hearing that the president's son wanted to do, which would actually stop the contempt proceedings from going forward. as we wait right now for kevin morris to show up here for this we'll call it a transcribed conversation. it is not a subpoena or formal depos

also very interesting to me that david weiss is suddenly the person pressing so hard making it clears no political influence involved in this and he will follow this all the way to the end because, you know, we all saw the plea agreement that fell apart and all watched the irs testimony by the whistleblowers who said they were in his office trying to get him to press forward on this case. that's all past at this point. but they also said he wrote his own book that detailed his cocaine use during the time he purchased this gun. so this is all about answering a question on a form. >> bill: can i quote weiss. he said the charges and trumped up or because of former president trump. but a result of the defendant's own choices. >> right. if anyone fills out an application for a gun and it is proven that they are using drugs at the time that they purchased that, now you have the two things together on the pouch and this does not look good. he should be treated like anyone else who would be in that situation with regard to whatever the appropriate punishment for that is. >> dana: the other t

when that plea agreement fell through with the government in a very public way, special counsel david weisse. hunter biden was reindicted in delaware. he's now going to court. actually facing these charges right now. so that diversion agreement will not happen for him. however, and not to be too confusing here, this can get comply kated, his attorneys today just filed with the court and with the federal judge saying the original diversion agreement is still in effect. they wrote the prosecution is bound by the agreement that it makes, approves and signs with defendants just as often as they seek to hold defendants to the terms that defendants make and sign. the court must not allow the prosecution to reneg on its agreement. as you mentioned, hunter biden is facing federal tax charges in california and he's facing these federal gun charges in delaware. this is all during an election year. now we wait to see what the judge says, this is what hunter biden's team wants to do, dismiss the charges. whether or not it happens doesn't appear that the special prosecutor will be on board with this. >>

it seems like there's a hinge point, a turning point with david weiss.o, we're hearing a possible foreign lobbying violations. we don't know if this will happen. again, this is what we're hearing. this could change. we're not sure just yet, guy, but we've bot to move on to this. -- got to move on to this.

the charges were brought by the special counsel david weiss. just how serious are these latest charges? >> these are very serious charges. in fact, that detailed indictment really does break down all of the allegations. i think it appears that they're based on documents and documents cases are very strong because it is very difficult to cross-examine documents for bias or for forgetfulness. they're serious, they bring significant prison time and they appear to be very well documented. >> all right, thank you, all, so much. barb, stand by. joining us now is a member of the oversight committee, congressman jared moskowitz, a democrat from florida. he was in the room with hunter biden this morning. congressman, we saw you, because our camera was taking it live, you pushed back directly on the republican lawmakers in that committee room. what was your take on what we all witnessed? >> well, thanks, ana, thank you for having me. look, i think it was pretty aggressive of hunter to come, but also i think what he's doing is he's calling the chairman's
