david weiss, who donald trump had appointed u.s.ttorney, and is the special counsel in the hunter biden case. let's remember, there is an entire special counsel appointed just to deal with biden. his tax charges and gun charges. so all of this is a complete. if somebody thinks that there is some high crime or misdemeanor relating to joe biden, they should tell us what it is. so far we haven't heard anything. sir. >> donald trump was impeached twice. [indiscernible] mr. raskin: i'm not sure i followed the quest >> the impeachment is more complicated. is it two -- [indiscernible] mr. raskin: well, impeachments like criminal prosecutions follow people's criminal donald trump incited a violent insurrection and an attempt to overthrow a presidential election. and he was impeached by the house of representatives in a bipartisan impeachment, and there was a 57-43 vote in the se tct him. he escaped conviction by 10 votes. he beat the constitutional spread of 2/3 majority. there were commanding bipartisan, bicameral majorities defining the c

special counsel david weiss, who is charging hunter biden, is in the room.ents in front of this judge, arguing that this plea agreement and this divergent agreement should still be in contact. special counsel david weiss' team saying it is not intact because it was not signed by the probation officer from last summer, so the bottom line here, neil, is we are dealing with eight different motions to dismiss the case. this right now is going before -- or going to trial jun. that's just in a couple of months. right in the middle of the political season. just a couple of months before hunter's dad accepts the nomination. and here we are. we may find out today that this case will get moved back later. we may find out that some charges get dropped, but clearly some tension in this room, even though hunter biden is not in the room, the special counsel himself and hunter biden's late attorney, it might lead attorney abbe lowell both completely on opposite sides of this case, neil. >> neil: to that point, these tax charges literally motivated, sounds like a defense i'

that's what we'll have to find out about david weiss. thank you. democrats looking like they are in a panic over the third party threat to president biden's re-election. new fox polling shows that worry actually could be warranted. plus the white house still facing backlash for not blocking a united nations resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire in israel's war against hamas terrorists. >> this particular resolution calls for a cease-fire without even releasing the hostages. it made 0 demands on hamas and put a great burden on israel. our friends around the world that an ally walked away from its friends in a time of struggle. >> harris: a sweetheart deal for hamas. what about the hostages? the issue has the president in a political pressure cooker and how it may have changed his stance on the war between israel and hamas after the attacks. steve hilton in "focus" next.

all of the revelations that are in the legal filed by david weiss now give strong whiff of russian intelligencehatr colleagues would do best at this point to fold up the circus tent and allow us to focus on something that would be a benefit to the american people. >> you're particularly interested hunter biden's side? mr. raskin: every other witness that we have to has confirmed conclusion, that joe biden was not involved in's business ventures. he did not profi biden's business ventures, and he rendered no official favors or benefits to hunter biden's business ventures. i hope that we have those propositions, if we are■.the don other witnesses we have spoken to are telling a coherent, credible story then this thing is over. >> two months ago mr. biden said he wou testify in public in front of cameras. where are you on that now? go back that -- mr. raskin: the majority has rejected that. this is where we. >> do you think they are -- mr. raskin: i thinkation is oves point. there is really nothing left to pursue. but hunter biden cheerfully volunteered to go before the whole world and our colleagues

speaking of david weiss, they questioned the legitimacy of weiss as special counsel arguing that he came to republican pressure last summer after the infamous plea deal fell apart in a very public way last july. they saved the diversion agreement to help hunter avoid jail time is still intact. meanwhile, david weiss' office is moving full steam ahead. the government said instead of paying taxes, hunter spent his money on women, clothing, health, beauty products, and adult entertainment. the presidents on his charge with federal firearms violations in delaware, he lied about his substance abuse on a federal firearm form when he owned a gun in 2018 for less than two weeks. again, this is set for june 20th here in los angeles. the gun case in delaware tentatively penciled in for juna little bit more of an idea about what the judge thinks time wise given that these will be butting so close to each other. this happens in a little less than three hours now. speed to keep us posted. thank you for that. >> bret: let's bring in andy mccarthy, former assistant u.s. attorney and fox news contribute

the problem for david weiss is that numerous prosecutors, including myself, have noted that it's rare when a defendant has paid back the money that they would still go african criminally unless with some really ginormous amount of money, which is nadh, it's i think it's about 1 million or so. so that's makes it an unusual situation. and worse for weiss, there's gonna be a big jury nullification factor, which is it's so well known that biden's notoriety is one of the main reasons why he's being looked at for over half a decade, that that's going to make an uphill fight to get the jurors to want to convict you. >> all, right let's move on to another case in new york supreme court, judge juan merchan, placing a limited gag order on donald trump because of prior extra-judicial statements. the judge says so how how affective might this be? >> well, judging from the past record, that may not be may not be that effective we remember that in the earlier at trial would and judge engoron, there were some very small finds that were slapped on trump. he made me a little bit more careful here at t

special counsel david weiss, leading the prosecution, responded to that by saying because the agreementt, the government was free to withdraw it, which it did. in writing on august 9th, 2023. therefore, the defendant's motion to dismiss the indictment returned by the grand jury is meritless and should be denied. we don't know whether the judge will rule from the bench today. it seems unlikely. if he does decide that the case should go ahead, it is scheduled to go to trial on june 20th. hunter biden could face 17 years in prison. brian. >> brian: the sports world rocked by more than one gambling scandal. we'll talk about it with clay travis, next. travis, next. us give it all to you. the good, the bad. help us turn to you in everything. amen. you should join me in more prayer on hallow. stay prayed up. if you try vaping to quit smoking, it might feel like progress, but with 3x more nicotine than a pack of cigarettes - vapes increase cravings - trapping you in an endless craving loop. nicorette reduces cravings until they're gone for good. this is our future, ma. godaddy airo. creates a l

she held a conference call yesterday with parties from the special counsel david weiss's office. both sides expect the trial to last two weeks tops. david weiss says hunter lied on a federal firearm form when he answered know to having a drug addiction. he is heading to trial on june 20th in los angeles for federal criminal tax charges. that date may slide given when the delaware trial starts. also some sharp words from hunter's attorney yesterday sent a scathing letter to james comer saying his client would not appear for a public hearing next week. far from the smoking guns you claim the evidence doesn't amount to drop lets from a water system. if you are serious pursuing this in a legitimate and bipartisan fashion you would hold a hearing with relatives of former president trump about whom you indicated you would ask. if you do, mr. biden would consider an invitation for that event. james comer firing back to house oversight committee has called hunter biden's bluff. he stated he wanted a public hearing now that one has offered alongside business associates he worked with for

will try to persuade a federal judge to dismiss felony tax charges against him special counsel, david weiss, charged hunter biden with nine tax offenses in december. he has pleaded not guilty. his lawyer say he has quote, being targeted because of his political and familial affiliations and contend that weiss cave to pressure from donald trump and congressional republicans cnn's katelyn polantz is joining me right now. so caitlin, what are we expecting in court today >> well, for this will be a midi hearing where hunter biden's lawyers are going to be arguing to the judge all of the ways they think that this case should be dismissed. now, if the judge will buy those arguments remains to be seen, but this is the stress chest of the indictment that special counsel david weiss filed against hunter biden is the type of hearing that typically happens in one of these cases. criminal case, before it goes to trial so it is a big opportunity for hunter biden's team one of the things that makes this hearing a little bit unusual is that hunter biden's team is going to be pulling at the threads. in thi

local says then david weiss changed his tune after bowing to public and political pressure.eging on a promise that was made. hunter biden waived his appearance not in the courtroom right now. he lives here in los angeles. this is why he was charged here. leo wise an attorney with special counsel weiss' office says his office is under attack being singled out as, quote, rank partisans, given the filings from hunter biden's legal team. according to the special counsel instead of paying his taxes, hunter spent his money on women, clothe, health, beauty products and adult entertainment. the president's son is also charged with federal firearms investigations in square. he originally lied about substance abuse on a federal firearm form about owning a gun in 2018 for less than two weeks that matter, bret, set to go to trial tentatively the week of june 3rd in wilmington, delaware on june 20th this case is set to go to trial. they both go to trial hunter biden will have two trials and potentially, bret, two convictions under his belt before his dad accepts the nomination for the de

a complete russian propaganda concoction which has come undone with david weiss. bringing an indictment for lying to the department of justice. so what was so great about today was parnas coming forward to sort of close the loop on this and say you know, it all began with russian propaganda. and that's the way it is ending too. >> yeah. i was is struck listening to mr. parnas today. you made this point before, others have made the interacting pro. but the degree to which this is just an iteration or different face of the cube of the same thing that was the initial impeachment of donald trump. an attempt to essentially create the pretext for criminal investigation and criminal prosecution of joe biden and his family. and interesting russian interest in ukraine that was being targeted by vladimir putin. >> and he was such a breakthrough witness for us. he said this whole chain of events began with the exact same lie that he and giuliani cooked up for donald trump. back in 2018 and 2019. and i so wish today that he had been able to be a witness in impeachment number

special counsel david weiss has dismissed that argument in his response to the biden team's filing. he said, quote, because the agreement never went into effect, the government was free to withdraw it, which it did in writing on august 9, 2023. therefore, the defendant's motion to dismiss the indictment returned by the grand jury is meritless and should be denied. so all of these arguments will play out today in front of a judge here in l.a. harris, it is possible in theory that the judge could rule from the bench. that seems highly unlikely given he has these nine counts and nine motions to take a look at. if he decides not to accept the biden team's filings and says the trial should go ahead, he has it scheduled to begin on june 20th. >> harris: coming up. all right. jonathan hunt, thank you very much. matt whitaker, former acting u.s. attorney general. tell us what we're watching for in all of this. can hunter possibly get out of having to go to court and face trial in june? >> it's highly unlikely. all the arguments that abbe lowell are making is 80% accurate. it sounds good in

attorney special counsel david weiss, who was named by donald trump, and he was indicted for a lying to the fbi and constructing a false record. and so it's just one felon after another where the people have been lining up to tell these lies and conspiracy theories, and the whole thing has a very strong with of russian profit propaganda and disinformation now because of the recent revelations in the california prosecution. in any event, hunter biden really acquitted himself very well and was able to knock down every attempt to catch him up in something. and he made the basic point, look guys, you go after me all you want, but my problems are my problems. my father was not involved in my business, financially, in any way at all. and he made no benefits to my country. i never asked him to. >> -- came out saying he looked pretty good. you for your time tonight. >> coming up, house republicans say they support ivf, in one breath and try to take it back with the next, nancy pelosi is here tonight. there is so much to talk about, ahead. about, ahead. shingles. some describe it as an intens

special council david weiss was in the courtroom accusing hunter of dodging more than a million dollarsl of the argument, saying there doesn't seem to be evidence that public pressure from republicans influenced the prosecution's decisions, a ruling planned for april 17, if this case proceeds. hunter is facing two separate criminal trials in june, the other on the three gun charges brought in delaware. joining me is florida congresswoman, anna paulina luna. congresswoman, thank you for being here today. what can you tell us about the oversight's investigation into influence peddling and hunter biden's role in it? >> well, as you can see right now we know that hunter is not going to want to show up. i'm hearing the next step is issuing a subpoena to hunter biden. but i always find it interesting with this argument because we know for a fact that this administration has been using their appointees the shut down any investigations into hunter biden and his business dealings tied to his father. we know in august '21 when the whistleblowers came forward to investigate hunter biden they were

i want the move on to this one, miranda, special counsel david weiss going after hunter biden's efforts his tax charges in california. look, you've been covering this from the very beginning. where's this headed, and will hunter biden actually be held accountable? >> look, i mean, it certainly does seem that weiss has turned around and at least his prosecutors are playing tough in these dueling court filings. what really strikes me as interesting is that hunter biden and his lawyers are really plague hardball -- playing hardball in putting up all sorts of fans ifful theories that are being shot down as conspiracy theories and a house of cards by weiss. but, you know, hunter biden, his lawyer abbe lowell is claiming the sort of russian interference that's caused somehow his client to be charged. he's saying it's donald trump's fault, it's maga republicans' fault. really kind of every single trope that you could imagine being shoved into this pie. [laughter] and i think you only do that if you had in your back pocket daddy's pardon power. ashley: yes, indeed. very quickly, i wanted to get

attorney david weiss believed a plea agreement was appropriate.ff -- last june. he changed his tune after bowing to public and political rush or reneging on a promise that was made. an attorney with the special counsel's office says his office is under attack. there being singled out as partisans being the -- the president's son also charge a federal firearms relations in delaware for allegedly lying about his substance abuse on a federal firearms trace and a gun he owned in 2018 for less then 2 weeks. it's set to go to trial tentatively the week of june third. delaware june 20th here in los angeles. the tax case is tentatively scheduled to go to trial. hunter biden could have 2 trials and potentially 2 convictions under his belt before his father accepts in summer. a lot of moving parts. >> trace: that would make it interesting. thank you david. breaking today, convicted crypto conmen send big men freed sentenced to 25 years in prison for orchestrating 1 of the largest ever front scheme 10 billion in stolen funds from his crypto exchange to purch

they are steamed going back to the hunter biden situation that david weiss stretched everything out andt i am employed when that plea deal blew up in real time and led to hunter being charged with gun and drug charges -- rather tax and gun charges. it will be really interesting to see if, when robert hur is testifying, if anybody from the doj is sitting in the room going you shouldn't answer that. there could be somebody from the doj even though he is private citizen. >> ainsley: not bound by the doj anymore. >> steve: the doj might send somebody. we will see high drama. >> brian: should be happy by the let the statute of limitations run out on charges. by playing the long game it helped hunter. >> ainsley: watch it today 10:00 a.m. we will have it here on fox news. >> brian: new video of robert hur. i think we are in desperate need of that. >> ainsley: we share the same picture. spring breakers are descending on bourbon street and there are a new set of laws in place to prevent chaos and crime. >> brian: the state passing a series of new measures last week including raise the age law.

. >> he's >> facing nine criminal counts that were filed by special counsel, david weiss as part of his long running investigation. a few of these are felonies, including alleged tax evasion filing a false or fraudulent tax return and it could carry prison time. very serious stuff that's why hunter's team is trying to get the case thrown out there, attacking this from many different angles, but i'll just break a few of them down for you here they've argued that he was granted immunity. they have argued that the venue is not proper, and they say that he's being politically targeted remember last year when there was that attempted plea deal with the special counsel on hunter biden, part of that arrangement included a immunity provision and hunter's team is arguing that that is still active. they've also made the case that these charges can't be brought in california because he wasn't living in california at the time. but most important part here and what i'm looking forward today in court later is the arguments about the political angle. they say that special counsel weiss, who is a trump

special counsel, david weiss, charged the president's son with nine tax offenses in december. he has pleaded not guilty, joining me right now as former assistant special watergate prosecutor, nick ackerman. great to see you next. so hunter biden and his attorneys are trying to get all nine of these charges thrown out. >> what's the >> argument or what are the goods that they have to bring to justify all of these be dismissed, not easy but they do have out of all of these various arguments, they have mostly kind of a general defense arguments that weren't would raise a selective prosecution. the idea that mr. weiss was not a properly as special counsel, but the one that really is substantive is his claim that the diversion agreement agreement that he had entered into with mr. wise last year, over a year ago to plead guilty to tax fraud and the gun violation that all charges would be dropped and that he would not serve any jail time. so the issue he has raised is that there was an agreement he is claiming that there i'd been in agreement with the government. and as a result, he
