devin archer talked to the committee but not to me. >> mr. archer what do you intend to tell the committee today? do you have anything to say? did you have meetings with the bidens? can you elaborate? >> did anybody tell you not to appear today, sir? >> republicans have whispered about launching an impeachment inquirely. reporters asked if the president is compromised. >> i think so. i think so. we'll continue to do our due diligence and our research. devin archer himself said that was an implication of who the big guy is. archer talked about the big guy and how hunter biden always said we need to talk to my guy. we need to see when any guy will be here and those types of things. >> dan goldman of new york helped manage the first impeachment of former president trump as a congressional aide. goldman conceded that archer said the president talked with him and hunter biden, but he down played those conversations. >> the witness indicated that hunter spoke to his father every day and approximately 20 times over the course of ten-year relationship

today it is what should we expect from devin archer. on one hand, this is someone who would have intimate knowledge of henry tenon's business dealings. he had a close relationship with hunter. it is evidence by this text exchange between devin archer and hunter biden that was revealed. >> joey: i will act my best here, the judge threw out my conviction today and hunter biden text back thank god, i'm so happy for you, i know it has been a living hell. put it behind you and take great steps forward. this is important here. love you. archer says love you, brother. very much man, these blank people, i swear to god, i'm making sure i'm nots saying these words out loud here. we'll have the last laugh. i know, can i please come see you now that i'm not a felon, don't answer that, when and where. i liked you better as a felon. call me later. archer writes back, okay, and ends the conversation with a laugh. you all are saying and i get it, this shows how close they are. when i read it, what i see it shows how little they care. i don't want to sa

why did burisma hire devin archer? because he was close to long-time political associate and bagman for the sitting u.s. secretary of state john kerry. why did they put hunter biden on the board? he knows nothing about the natural gas business. why did they hire him? because he's the son of the sitting vice president of the united states. there is a direct connection between biden -- joe biden and hunter biden. they're father and son. i used to spend some time in central europe. one of the gifts left by the soviets is corruption. if you had problems with the government in kiev, you hired an american. what better americans to hire for burisma to hire than the buddy of the sitting vice president -- secretary of state and the son of the sitting vice president of the united states. there was corruption right from the get-go. the fact that the vice president, then vice president, now president thinks that it's to his advantage to say i never talked to my son about his business, he should have. son, you're involved in a corr

so i would imagine that is one of the questions for devin archer. can you back up that claim, be a second source involved in these e-mails that indeed the vice president at the time was involved in financial arrangements through these business deals? you think that can be proven through his testimony? >> i think it can be proven. when you look at the corroborating witnesses from last week from the irs, one democrat, by the way, who point blank said that they weren't allowed to ask dad and the big guy and everybody knew who the big guy was, it was joe biden. this show as pattern of evidence, a pattern of testimony and witnesses that point to joe biden and hunter biden every step of the way. at some point joe biden's house of cards will come crumbling down by the overwhelming amount of evidence in oversight. >> martha: do you sense there's a change in the way the white house is approaching this? this is what the white he house has said all along. >> i didn't know he was on the board of that company. >> i have never discussed my business or their busin

. >> laura: now friend and former business partner, devin archer is about to testify after trying to avoid it and will spill the beans on contacts with foreign business interest. according to reporting from miranda devine, who will join us shortly, archer will testify that hunter put his dad on the phone at least two dozen times with individuals from various foreign entities. how did this work in practice? late on friday, december 4, 2015, two ukrainians joined hunter and archer at the four seasons in dubai, senior burisma executive asked hunter, can you ring your dad. hunter did exactly that and put his dad on speaker phone and introduced the ukrainians there by name and said, to everybody on the call, they need our support. now recall that both hunter and mr. archer landed jobs on the board of burisma even though hunter's energy experience seem to be limited to how he felt as a person doing lines of coke with random hookers. hunter's other business partner tony bobulinski confirmed the big guy's conversation when impressing clients. >> i heard joe biden say he never discussed busine

they sent a notice calling for devin archer's snsz sentencing to be expedited. james comer is calling foul play. >> the letter from the department of justice trying to nudge the judge to go ahead and sentence devin archer for something unrelated to what we'll be talking to him about tomorrow, it is odd it was issued on a saturday and odd it is right before he scheduled to come into have an opportunity to speak in front of the house oversight committee and tell the american people the truth about what went on with burisma. i don't know if this is coincidence or weaponization of the department of justice. >> this is after tuesday appeals court upheld conviction and then the saturday memo comes and archer saying harris through his attorney to be clear, mr. archer does not agree with that speculation. >> harris: i have a couple questions, talking off camera, why in the world would they not not only does he come in when he feels like it, nothing they are threatening to do to him for any of those times. you can't lie to congress, okay. my other question, what deal did

we just got this there from devin archer's counsel. they said we're aware all sides are claiming victory following mr. archer's victory today. all he did is what we said he would do, show up and answer the questions put to him honestly and completely. mr. archer shared the truth with the committee and we'll leave to them and others to decide what to do with it. katie, last word. >> we're going to see the transcripts from this so people can read through them and come up with their own opinion about who won and who lost, what the victories were. what we know based on today, dan goldman is a forceful attorney. if you're watching, you at least think he's making a compelling argument. blaming the weather is not a very compelling argument. he was nervous and sweaty. for years we've asked this question, what was hunter biden's business? what was he doing when he went to china or serving on the board of burisma getting paid $80,000 a month? what was the biden business? it said it was legitimate. it wasn't a fara violation. we learned today that

this reported by miranda divine that devin archer is going to discuss next week.ing to the level of potential impeachment hearings. >> i think when robert kennedy junior said there has to be an investigation, he saw the beginning of a break in the whole dam. facts weigh up day after day after day, some point the new york times and washington post and the big media conglomerates are going to realize they're on the wrong side of history and as they do that, and you'll see this -- the tide shift. already you're seeing a little more coverage of the problems. you're seeing the new york times beginning to behave as maybe it's on the wrong side of these things. the devin archer -- if he comes in, again, the pressure on him to not testify is enormous but if he does come in and he does say flatly, look, i was in the room, i saw it. there's no question it happened. first of all, it will prove conclusively that joe biden has lied to the entire country for years. second, it will raise significant questions because so much of this money is foreign money. this isn't just your s

and hunter biden's former business partner devin archer will reportedly claim joe was on two dozen callsirectly tied to foreign business dealings when he was vice president. that doesn't even get to the whistleblower testimony, alleging interference in his son's prosecution. despite all that, the litany of what seems to be on the surface, the standard is phone call for zelenskyy, for impeachment and this is not impeachable. come on. i have a warning for gop, tantalizing as this is, be careful of making joe biden out to be a victim, a martyr heading intoure 22. not to say he doesn't deserve top scrutiny and needs to be removed from office. he does. that might best be left to the voters. joining me is former deputy independent counsel. saul, where do you stand given what seems to be a building real dossier of real information showing joe biden ties to hunter and his business dealings is this best time to proceed with impeachment proceedings against joe biden? >> laura, i agree and i don't think we are quite there yet. i think there is real danger of backlash and sympathy for president bide

i want to ask you about the devin archer testimony scheduled for monday.ou believe that you will be meeting with him on monday? has anything changed in that? what is the time something. >> nothing has changed. he will be coming forward to do a transcription. the pressure cooker is up with the biden family and their scheme of money laundering. when you heard speaker mccarthy say -- mentioned the world impeachment, i believe before this 118th congress is over that joe biden will be impeach based on our evidence. >> martha: do you believe that you will hear from devin archer that in two dozen plus instances witnessed his partner, hunter biden, calling up joe biden on the phone on speaker and putting it in the middle of the table with these ukrainian burisma officials? >> i believe he has to. we have our evidence. he's being held under oath. if he lies, he will be held in contempt. >> congress woman anna paulina luna, thanks for joining used too. good to have you here. >> thanks. >> martha: let's get a look at the dow. the federal raises the interest rates to

"wall street journal" pointed out anyone else in america that did what hunter did would go to jail. here you have blanket immunity and judge was concerned with that, how do i sign an agreement for things that let him off the hook, when we don't know if the investigation is over. we've been doing in the house and jason smith's committee and james comer committee and jim jordan's committee

yeah, let's start in washington where devin archer, the former business associate of hunter biden is to testify before the house oversight committee, archer is expected to describe how he witnessed then vice president joe biden sitting in on numerous calls with his son, that is despite the fact that president biden has said he has never been involved in his son's business dealings. this testimony will be closed door. republican congressman pat fallon describes what he hopes to learn. >> we will have a transcribed interview. as soon as the transcript is done it will be released publicly. it's very important. the question we're trying to ask in the oversight committee, we know that hunter biden is engaged in criminal activity and is corrupt, but is it father? is the president of the united states a national security risk? is he compromised. that's a question we have to ask. >> reporter: also tomorrow in miami, a mar-a-lago property manager will appear in federal court. he is the third defendant charged in the classified documents case involving former president trump. he is accused of

now we get devin archer under oath and we'll see more. we're going to start hearing more about these issues as we go forward to 2023 and in to 2024. >> neil: i don't know whether it's a seminole event. you have to prove stuff before you can charge stuff. all the networks, the news networks were on this delay in delaware as we waited for hunter biden to come out of what we thought was a perfunctory matter to agree to the two lesser charges and walk away. that didn't happen, a couple were back on to talking about donald trump and his legal troubles and all of that. i'm wondering if the back and forth on scandals, real or imagined begin to dominate this race. some fear that that is like something that could spin out of control on both sides. what do you think? >> yeah, well, i think we ought to be worried about it. very likely we'll have a case -- a court case next may on former president trump and mishandling classified documents. we're likely to see the hunter biden case come back and we may have more things that go in to that and we may h

to your point earlier, devin archer will testify on monday, we'll get more information then.hunter case that involved plea deal goes to trial, all the information will be out in the public. >> mike: that is right. there is fantastic documentary on fox nation, i'm in a small part of it, it has evidence that the irs whistleblowers put together in their investigation and how the investigation was stymied by either merrick garland or david weiss out of the delaware or u.s. attorney's office. that is the evidence they have. then they have a great, definitely check that documentary out. there is a lot of interviews of the oversight committee, what they are going to do. this is going forward and these democrats are just completely baffling -- >> todd: head in the sand. >> can't admit it is true. >> carley: the judge asked one question yesterday, could the government bring registration charge against hunter biden? the answer was yes. question was who was hunter trying to influence if he is acting on behalf of a foreign country and joe biden comes into the mix, that would be the worst

cheryl: before you go, real quick, do you expect devin archer to testify?e don't see him on the logs this week in the house. >> well, i certainly hope he does. and honestly, i think we need to bring the fbi director and the united states attorney general in to appropriations before we have our cjs hearing. so they can answer for this document, what have they been doing, what have they not been doing because this is critical information the american people need for transparency. cheryl: we will look for that testimony. congressman andrew clyde, thank you, congressman. >> thank you, cheryl. cheryl: we're just getting started this morning. coming up, the 2024 gop field taking shape with just under a month away from the first debate. new fox business polls show how the rankings are getting shaken up. plus, the biden administration just does not want to get out of your home. the latest plan to clamp down on energy usage, it's getting massive pushback. it's making a buzz this morning. don't miss a moment of it. you are watching "mornings with maria" live on fox b

i wanted to start here in washington where you do have devin archer, the former business partner of hunter biden, he's set to testify before the house oversight committee that is again tomorrow and archer is expected to describe how he witnessed then vice president joe biden sitting in on numerous calls with his son, that's despite the fact that president biden has said he was never involved in his son's business dealings. this testimony will be closed door and republican congressman pat fallon describes what he hopes to learn from the former burisma board member's testimony. >> we're going to have a transcribed interview, as soon as the transcript is done and released publicly, it's very important because the question that we're trying to ask in the oversight comm committee, we knw that hunter biden is engaged in criminal activity and a is corrupt. but is his father, is the president of the united states a national security risk, is he compromised? that is a question we have to ask. >> back to what you were discussing, a bit further down the east coast, a man named carlos olivera will app

. >> devin archer is expected to testify about the president's role, if any, on monday.fact had knowledge of his son's overseas business deals or if there was no involvement. the press secretary has similarly refused to answer reporter questions about that shifting language only saying that nothing has changed. officials won't say whether the president has been in touch with his son's legal team but they inside the case is being handled independently by the doj, neil. >> neil: thanks, jacqui. to john ratcliffe, the former director of national intelligence. great having you. so many things to get into. if i touch on the hunter biden stuff first where obviously that plea bargain thing didn't go well at all. justice department is still investigating. less than 30 days now that they can decide to go on with the plea bargain, revamp it, what have you. it's fair to say it's widened out. now what? >> well, neil, the big take-away from that plea agreement falling apart is we learned that joe biden's doj lawyers were also hunter biden's defense teams. what is suppose to be an adv

are we going to hear from devin archer this week. >> that's who we're supposed to hear from.all the pieces of the puzzle together, it's in plain sight. it's not just bribery. it's money laundering. he used hunter to get him on the burisma board. it was because joe biden was vice president so he could influence peddle and the money could be transferred to complex entities that james comer discovered and link that to the testimony coming from the irs that was suppressed from the fbi and doj. have you a situation where you have president biden actually committing the crime of money laundering and bribery with his son and then using the fbi and doj now as president to cover up the crimes so he's got the whole thing figured out and yet where are we today? i agree with jim jordan. it'stime for impeachment, not just for merrick garland but all the way up the ranks but merrick garland should be job one for the congress. all the facts are out there in plain sight. they're trying to create charges against president trump that aren't felonies. we have felonies in plain sight that the do

and on monday, hunter, his longtime business partner, devon archer, he's set to testify before congress. now, miranda devine of the new york post, great reporter. she is now telling us thatr wits archer witnessed what dozens of phone calls between hunter biden's foreign business partners, foreign nationals, where the big guy, joe biden was looped the meeting on a speaker phone by to impresse. hunter's clients and seal the deal. now, remember, joe biden swore thats d he never one spoke to his son about his foreign business dealings. as it turns out, biden actively participatedforeig and then cley lied about it to the american people over and over agaimerican, both as a candidate and as a president. so, again, this is not a storyso about private citizen hunter biden. joe and hunter are tied at the hip on all of this.this and according to my sources tonight, hunter recently lived at the white house. he gets secret service detail. look at that. he got a he got a federal a motorcade as, miranda devine points out. the secret service even rented d a $30,000 a month house next a to hunter when he lived in malibu, c

ben, hunter biden's former business partner, devin archer, i think we have a picture together who by the way has been convicted of fraud in another case says the president's son put his dad on speaker phone calls with lots of people like the top executive or a top executive i should say of the burisma and according to the new york post biden spoke only vague but doesn't this differ from the past white house denial s? >> of course it does and one of the things that joe biden is trapped by is that he was so definitive when it came to the 2020 conversation about this , where he said nothing ever happened. there were no conversations. i've never talked to my son about, you know, never is a big word and when you say never, if you find one example of it, even one, and now it turns out that there are potentially dozens of examples, the question that i had and i think i've said this to you before, howie, is what was joe biden saying on these calls? maybe they just were pleasant ares. maybe they were just a sign that hey, i'm connected at the top level from hunter. maybe nothing ever came of

we know that devin archer has met and communicated many, many times with joe biden about burisma andr things. the white house denies that democrats are wary, but say if archer does allege any quid pro quo, that would be a different day. of course, republicans are listening to see if archer's words back up their calls for an impeachment inquiry. former president donald trump is threatening his colleagues to get on board any republican that doesn't act on democrat fraud should be immediately primaried and get out. out. trump faces troubles of his own. on monday, mar a lago property manager carlos de oliveira, is in court in florida. in the classified documents probe, an updated indictment released last week alleges he and trump worked together to try and delete surveillance footage to conceal evidence, adding yet another complication to trump's 2024 bid. it is more likely that by the time we get on the debate stage on august 23rd, the front runner will be out on bail in four different jurisdictions. trump also faces the prospect of a third indictment in a case looking at efforts to sub

a lot will depend on the devin archer interview sometim f e next week. what we learn from him that could advance us a very big way. wae, the dangerturl adva a is rising and what you expect out of devin archer, how honest will they be? >> oh, i think he's a very straight i think he's going a to be factual. he's not going to be flamboyant. he's not going to look to hurt s or help out joe biden. >> i think he'll be very factual. all right great work all week. john solomon, we appreciate your hard work . coming up, democrats will do anything to protect joe biden. and that meanshing t going all n on rfk jr attacks. jason and to prediction they react next. later more my town hal l. we didn't have time to air it in iowa. cedar rapids this week where trump took questions from the audience. >> that's straight ahead. how has your faith grown since>> you decided in 2015 to run fordn president? and who has mentored for you in your faith journey? your faith journey? >> president trump's responsenes i was told my small business wouldn't qualify for any i.r.s. tax refu

it seems with the devin archer testimony coming up tomorrow's major deal. that the big guy, joe, his father may have actually profited from is his uh, sons the foibles as the usa today. and it does seem that hunter is almost seemingly perpetually surrounded by all sorts of scandal show. and i mean, i mean, did you think the, the democratic party or presidential administration could have ever actually prevented some of these events? and in fact, they even have a right to interfere in somebody's personal private life. as you know is with curious. i mean, it's not like, this is a new thing, right? we've seen the scandals around influence peddling, it's always been a concern, right. the families of presidents nixon's, brother, you know, getting alone from howard hughes. i think that, you know, it's, i don't think that was part of the, the investigation. but they were looking for the watergate, you know, get jimmy carter's brother and that whole billy billy get. i think they call that because he was doing some deals with like libya. so, i mean it's, it's not lik

two major stories, hunter biden's business partner devin archer will appear for a closed door testimonyerty manager from mar-a-lago will appear in the classified documents case against president trump. sean hannity on what we should expect sxchl country music's most iconic stage. he joins us on his call to serve. oh, hello! hi! do you know that every load of laundry could be worth as much as $300? really? and your clothes just keep getting more damaged the more times you wash them. downy protects fibers, doing more than detergent alone. see? this one looks brand new. saves me money? i'm starting to like downy. downy saves loads. . . >> todd: ' former hunter biden it business associate devon archer expected to testify behind closed doors today. is he expected to head is light on then vice president's involvement on hunter's business dealings. is many and push by some for impeachment inquiry. >> i think mccarthy may open an impeachment inquiry because he thinks it will let off the steam with the crazies in this conference. >> this is a witch-hunt. if hunter biden has broken the law he sho

devin archer is set to serve a one-year sentence for an unrelated fraud conviction. to link the business dealings to president biden. zac, first explain who this man is and what republicans want to know from him. >> reporter: no one disputes that hunter biden and devin were business partners, but house republicans insist that he could provide a smoking gun conducting president biden to the business dealings. the emergence said this testimony, foreign dealings, congressman dan goldman on the committee did say that archer testified that they did speak, that at times he would be in a setting where there would be business partners, but not once, according to goldman, did the dealings ever come up. jim jordan has also left the interview. it seems like they're done with their questions. but, we're getting the first details, and democrats have now returned to questions, but according to goldman, there's nothing directly links -- this is what -- yes, doj was trying to block the testimony, according to some. what's the truth behind that? >> yeah, brianna, leading up to this t

devin archer would know that. will he give it. >> steve: stay tuned. 10 days ago u.s. supreme court struck down the biden student loan forgiveness program. they said you need authority from congress to do it. they were using the heroes acts, which is for members of military or firefighters after 9/11. biden administration applied that to everybody else. on friday, they announced 39 billion in student loan for forgiveness, which would being half a thrillion dollars and doing it under the higher education act of 1965. there is probably authority to do something like that, but there is no funding. the question to gregg jarrett, where is the money coming from? here is what he said. >> here the student debt doesn't vanish, burden is transferred to taxpayers. the government pays for it. this is powering with joe biden, he knows he is exceeding power because white house considered education act and rejected it saying you can't do this under the constitution and the law. it does not give the president blanket authority to forgive debt. he is contorting the law, usurping congre

next week his business partner devin archer testifies he moved the money around. he's got a tale to tell about joe biden's involvement. did he talk business with hunter? he says no. the testimony says yes. the white house may change the language but he's been caught in a lie. if the republicans use impeachment as a tool to get more information, it'll further test the credibility of the whole administration. the judge in hunter's hearing threw out the wrist slap settlement and wants more information. if they get into hunter acting as a foreign agent while his father was vice president, that's a whole new can of worms that opens up. hunter currently livings in the white house. imagine that . a foreign agent living with the president of the united states. the president has policy problems. bidenomics for example. voters are not buying it and workers are still losing ground to inflation. the president faces continuing questions about his ability to do the job. every slurred word, every time he loses his train of thought or physically stumbles, the question comes up ag

but before we get to that, tell us about this associate of hunter biden's devin archer. >> reporter: ris, republicans really teed up this testimony today and promoted archer, the former business associate of hunter biden, as a potential bombshell witness, as somebody who might be able to deliver that kind of smoking-gun evidence linking the president to his son, hunter biden's to, foreign business dealings. i'm hearing from sources who were in the room after hours of testimony, we just saw archer leaving, sources saying he did not deliver that smoking gun that republicans had hoped for. a source familiar with the matter tells me that, you know, archer told the committee that hunter biden was selling the illusion, in quotes, of access to his father, you know, his father not directly implicating president joe biden in any of the foreign dealings but saying hunter biden was trying to essentially trick business partners into thinking he could provide direct access to his father. we talked with congressman dan goldman, a democrat on the oversight committee. he sat through soeeveral hours t
