. >> brian: we are learning attorney general merrick garland sworn testimony on the hunter biden probe the center of the probe that the administration is mishandling the case. this is a big deal. the white house insists no political interference in the situation. >> ainsley: alexandria joins us. >> alexandria: this irs whistleblower is seeking protection. they have information showing preferential treatment has been given to hunter biden during the investigation into his tax affairs. >> respected within the irs and teaches other agents how to properly do investigations. he knows how to spot when investigative steps are not done in the traditional way to get at the truth and he's spotted and observed things done differently in this matter and he believes they were influenced by politics. >> alexandria: mark lydle says -- attorney general merrick garland, who said this under oath back on march 1. >> i promised to leave the matter of hunter biden in the hands of the district attorney for delaware, pledged not to interfere with that investigation and i have carried through on my pledge. >>

merrick garland, all of the biden administration is not working.e asked them to pay attention to come down and not just look at who is crossing over, but asked him to pay attention to the families that live there and endure this every single day. we're there, we feel it, we see it. it is just everywhere in all of south texas and in our hometown it is everywhere. we need his help and leadership and need him to step up to the plate and own up to his role. >> ashley: you both lost your mother maria and elisa, you lost your daughter emilia. there is a picture of your beautiful daughter, she was in second great. you heard gin talking about. you are begging for help. when you ask him for help and say these things and want security at the border, what does he say to you? >> i went in there and i was blunt and honest and shared graphic images of my daughter that i hadn't shared with anyone. it wasn't just to show him, but to make him realize we are feeling this. i should not have had to bury my little girl and seen her covered in blood. i should not have h

that would be merrick garland to act upon any recommendation and garland will have at his disposal. prosecutorial discretion. when a g garland appointed jack smith, he said that smith would not be subject to the day to day supervision of any official at doj. but will merrick garland feel obligated to follow smith's recommendation? here's what the code of federal regulations says about the powers of a special counsel. the special counsel shall not be the subject to day to day supervision of any department of the department. however the attorney general may request that the special counsel provide an explanation for any investigative or prosecutorial step, and may after review concluded that the action is so inappropriate. or unwarranted under established departmental practices that it should not be pursued. in conducting that review. the attorney general will give great weight to the views of the special counsel. well, what exactly does that mean? perhaps that the a g will go along with the special counsel unless he finds such a prosecutorial step to be so inappropriate. or unwarrant

but why is it that when attorney general merrick garland took the rains as the doj that the sdny didn'ttinue its investigation? it speaks to how the political doj has become when i say political, i do not mean that in a partisan sense but rather in a sense they do seem to be acting with the political risks in mind. because there really was no reason for the southern district of new york to not pursue this case trump was out of office. he was not a candidate, just a u.s. citizen like you or me. the only reason not to pursue it, as i can see it, was some reticence on their part to pursue trump in particular and it is hard to argue that that would have been the case with any other former politician and that brings us to where we are today. where it has been left to local prosecutors to pick up the pieces of the case doing what the doj and the sndy should have done from the start. joining me now is andrew weissman, former fbi general counsel and former senior member of the mueller probe andrew, it's so great to see you in person. >> yes. >> so, last night when we were on our big set and all

what did garland do. he said absolutely no. that tells you everything you need to know about this. >> thank you. larry, we wish you the best. i think you are crazy, but i am glad you are in there for all the right reasons. we appreciate it. >>> up next, jim jordan exposing alvin bragg and the dual system of justice. right in front of your face we will show you the highlights. pam, tommy bruce are up next, straight ahead. >>> welcome back to the special train edition of hannity.he the house judiciaryy committee had a hearing in new york city that explode d thanks to the hands-off policies of the da alvin bragg. has a guy that has an obsession with donald trump. instead of protecting the people of new york. anyway, democrats that were onit tethe committee use the hearingo trash crime victims who were testifying calling them props hr and ponds. here is how madeline brain responded. now her son a retired military was murdered back in 2018, stabbed to death in new york city. take a look. a >> were you a prop?kn >> absolutely not.ow.

as for merrick garland, there are only two possibility.either knowingly died or he was utterly oblivious when two of his u.s. attorneys that report to him who were appointed by joe biden, according to the whistleblower, blocked the plan criminal charges against hunter biden. look at the moorthy's investigators and the house oversight committee examine these 162 -- 170 suspicious activity reports, banking records, the more shocked and appalled that they are if hunter biden is only charged with two misdemeanors and two felonies, that will be the sweetheart deal of the century. i would take those four crimes and multiply them by a factor of 10 or 20. every single transaction, every wire transfer that goes into a biden family account, if it is influence peddling and money laundering as it appears to be those are set for crimes. you are talking about potentially hundreds of crimes here. we will have to wait and see how this works out. but i guarantee you the more thatthat the house investigatorg into this, the more they are going to find influe

attorney general merrick garland on the justice department budget. live coverage of this and appropriation subcommittee hearing here on c-span 3. >> -- that's one way to get rid of all the reporters. thank you again, sorry, folks. we're glad you're here. this is the senate appropriations subcommittee on commerce, justice, science, and related agencies. we are very pleased to have the attorney general, merrick garland, with us this afternoon. and because we are starting late, i'm going to submit my full statement for the record, but i would just like to make a few comments at the outset. the first thing i would like to do is to recognize my ranking member, senator moran. for the great work that we have done together over the years, both when he was chair and i was ranking, now that i'm chair and he's rankings, we have worked on a collaborative bipartisan matter that i think has been good for this committee and good for the senate. i would also, and for the country, thank, you senator manchin. i would also like to point out that this is the anniversary

i didn't think merrick garland wanted to be here.low rolling this investigation from the beginning and he was pushed into putting jack smith, a pit bull, in charge of the investigation only because donald trump committed an unforced error. he announced for president so early to try to intimidate merrick garland, to try to dissuade him. >> well, it worked merrick garland hasn't touched any of the trump cases. >> he put jack smith in charge instead of a person being a bit timid in merrick garland, you've got this bulldog in jack smith who is ready to go if merrick garland declines to prosecute, he has to explain it. there's got to be a report and the public will know is that the legacy he wants. >> next to the shelf on the mueller report people have been investigating trump and finding criminality for seven years now. what do you think the stakes are of jack smith's work and merrick garland's treatment of it? >> i would just add that what we saw last week is that trump had one of his best fund-raising weeks since he left the oval so i

way things have proceeded this year in that early juncture i do want to take up for what merrick garland did as attorney general just a little bit. i'm sure this will get me criticized, but there is some value in a prosecution in letting some time go by, in letting some of the evidence marinate, because you do find witnesses like cassidy hutchinson who have come forward. she midnight not have come forward march 2021 sometimes something comes across your email at midnight, a great tip, only because someone's been watching an investigation move forward, and they decide to help so it's tough to evaluate. >> joyce vance, mike schmidt, rick stengle, thank you all so much for sticking around and having a conversation none of us planned on having when we got to this table today our breaking news coverage continues now on "the beat" with ari melber ari, has there been a day this week when you came on at 6:00 and covered the story you thought you would at 9 or 12:00? >> no, and i am indebted to you, nicolle. stick around for a second. i'm prepared to cover this breaking story, broke late in your

naming that employee as attorney general merrick garland who said this back on march 1st. i promise to leave the matter of hunter biden in the hands of the district attorney of delaware. i have pledged not to interfere with that investigation and i have carried through on my pledge. >> that's what the whistleblower says they can disprove the white house dismissing the allegations stating this, quote: president biden has made clear that this matter would be handled independently by the justice department under the leadership of a u.s. attorney appointed by president trump free any political interference by the white house. as for the hunter biden laptop story of course we have to go there, too. of course a cia official has testified that secretary of state antony blinken who was then a biden campaign senior adviser played a role in the inspection. that was the letter that claims that the story was russian disinformation, steve, ainsley, brian? >> brian: wow, alex. i understand maybe you can get clarity one of the quirks of the federal laws because he works for the irs, he n

that's the issue, because late tonight, the new york post reported that attorney general merrick garland himself is the senior official cited in the whistle blower's letter. if true, that would contradict testimony that garland himself delivered under oath last month. >> i promised to leave the matter of hunter biden in the hands of the u.s. attorney for the district of delaware. i have pledged not to interfere with that investigation. and i have carried through on my pledge. >> laura: so does the nation's top lawyer need a lawyer? but there's something else they're sweating about tonight. one news that ex cia director mike morrell had become a problem for biden. turns out he testified under oath that it was the biden campaign himself that was behind that letter that he and 50 other former intel officials released that claimed, remember falsely, that information from hunter biden's laptop was just russian disinformation. congressman jordan, jim jordan, asked, well, what was the intent of the statement and morrell answered one intent was to share our concern with the american people that

attorney general merrick garland accused of interfering in the hunter biden investigation. that would be obstruction of justice at the highest level. the biden re-election campaign will have to deal with this. separately, the former cia chief helped organize a letter from intelligence professionals calling the hunter biden laptop the story, quote, russian disinformation. it was nothing of the sort. but biden used the bogus letter to slime trump. to the markets, a little price movement for stocks at least in the early going, dow up maybe 50, nasdaq down about 15. same with interest rates, not that much change. i've got the yield of 10-year treasury still just above 3.5%. as for the 2-year treasury, i think it's just above 4%, 4.11 as we speak. bitcoin hanging around $28,000, it's at 28,1, to be precise. etherium just under two grand. watch teslad to. some shareholders are asking the tesla board to the rein in elon musk. they're not happy that tesla's value has dropped $600 billion. musk responded saying, quote: tesla is executing better than ever. end quote. the stock is up

we believe that person is the ag, merrick garland. according to the whistle-blower hunter is receiving preferential treatment, in other words, hunter's criminal case is being mishandled, swept under the rug apparently, keep in mind the whistle-blower is not a political person. he or she gains nothing from coming forward except probably abuse on fake news cnn and msdnc. but is choosing to do the right thing. here's the whistle-blower's attorney earlier today on with bottom line bret baier. >> my client is not coming here with a political agenda. >> he has been at the irs a long time. >> been at the irs more than ten years, now he is a supervisor, special agent. he is trusted at the irs. he has been trusted as an assistant special agent in charge in other cities, entrusted with international investigations and working with other countries' tax enforcement burst. >> sean: he is doing the right thing through appropriate channels. hunter biden's attorney is threatening the whistle-blower, accusing him of committing a crime simply for comin

what a garland do, h e said . absolutely no.that tells you everything you need to know about this.hank y >> all right, gregg.ouou the b thank you, larry. we wish you the best. am i think you're crazy, butn ther i'm glad you're in there. e for all the right reasons. we appreciate it. all right. up next, jim jordan exposing alva bragg.vi this dual system of justice this week right in front of your face. we'll show you the highlights. , >> pam bondi, tammy bruce up next. straight ahead b, when the world went mad , we stood as a refuge of sanity, whether forged in our upbringing, built on the belief to compete and win or cemented in service across us , the country, men and women willing to fight ,standing up for our children ,their education and a better future, pushing back against the west and unleashing the next generation. you're coming after the rights of parents. i'm standing in your way. freedom is here to stay. >> we believe freedom is worth fighting for. we we will never back down. >> never back down is responsible for the

. >> attorney general garland does your department have a problem with anti-catholic people?we protect all religions and doesn't have a bias against any religion. >> jason: we got it. the man sold as a moderate and whom republican senators whisked through senate confirmations, not just a liar but oversaw the most corrupt department of justice imaginable. garland's department of justice recommended no jail time for a transgender lunatic who vandalized a catholic church. 31-year-old did not just write f-catholic it's outside of the church but destroyed a statute of the virgin mary and assaulted a church worker and resisted arrest. no jail time recommended by that department of justice. joining us now is article 3 project found and president mike davis. you noted a case presenting a direct contradiction to this one. explain the two. it's atrocious and fundamentally wrong. >> this is the most egregious example of them polit sizing the justice department. abortion activists got into a scuffle with a man and the biden justice department charged him with a felony for up to 20 years

if it is true, what could be the fallout for merrick garland?ant and it's very concerning that the attorney general of the united states would be putting his thumb on the scale of an investigation. these investigations are typically handled by the professionals at the department of justice and merrick garland as you saw there told us that he was not interfering and was not going to interfere but it's very clear as this whistle blower's testimony is coming to light and bestill have a lot -- we still have a lot more to learn in this regard, but it is obvious to me that this case is not being treated in regular order. that was one of the things i made sure while i was attorney general to emphasize was how we were going to follow regular order. we weren't going to cut corners, weren't going to take exceptions in cases and we were just going to follow the facts and the law. i think this whistle blower will tell us that the biden administration through merrick garland is running interference for hunter biden trying to keep him out of trouble. will: ma

did merrick garland cover the biden family? will there be an investigation into tony blinken who organized the 51 intel agents, former intel officials to go out and say something they couldn't possibly know to be true about the laptop of hunter biden. there is a cover up there. why did the fbi go to big tech in the months leading up to the 2020 election and warned them that they might be subject to the misinformation campaigns and it may be about joe and hunter biden. of course the story broke and "the new york post" and it got censored. the american people were not told the truth and it was a high-level effort by biden's top effort to do this. >> yes to all of the above, the fix is in, obstruction of justice by the department of justice. how else do you explain an absurd five year long criminal investigation in the face of a plethora of incriminating evidence on the laptop alone, not to mention many of hunter biden's partners who can implicate as well -- >> sean: last week it was nine and now we are up to over a dozen family m

we are now hearing doj merrick garland will be speaking shortly.what do you want to hear from a.g. garland? >> number one, how about some human emotion, outrage it could take place. immediate overhaul and the committee named to take a look at the series of events that brought us to this moment and accomplish chelsea manning, a different first name and different gender, he got pardoned by president obama after giving up secrets and embarrassed the nation ten years, and just as we get some credibility back, edward snowden thought he would do the behavior and give up all of it, and escape to a communist country, russia. time and time again, america is caught with their pants down. we can get the intelligence, can't hold it. unacceptable through three administration's. >> sandra: thank you for joining us as we look at the video where the arrest was just made and david spunt from the justice department. what can you tell us? >> we are waiting to get more updates from fbi officials and to hear more about what happened, that is going to be happening momen

we believe that person is the ag merrick garland. now, accordingrdin the whistleblower, hunter is receiving preferential treatment in other words, on his criminal case is being mishandled, swept under the rug, apparently. and keep in mindnd,e-blow the whistleblower is not pol person.blower is not he or she gains nothing frompt coming forward, except probablyn abuse on fake news, cnn and msnbc. but is still choosing to dot the right thing. now, here'ing.s the whistleblows attorney earlier today on with bret. >> take a lookr toda. >> but my client wants to come forward. he's not a political person. ttom linhe's not a social mediam he's not coming here with at coi political agenda. he's been at the irs for a longe time. he's been at the irsn i forrs r more than 10 years. s and now he's a supervisoryrviso special agent. he's entrusted at the irs.uste he's been trusted as an assistant special agent in charge and other cities and trusted with international investigation. trusted and working with other countries, tax enforcement bureaus. >>

when merrick garland came in with the biden administration, he took david weiss on and said i will have him run this investigation to give it a modicum of impartiality. it is not affect the biden administration is directing -- so it does not look like the biden administration is directing it. and mixes of instances, like in tax cases, -- in specific instances, like tax cases, they have to get specific signoff. but they do not need the attorney general to sign off. host: tanning signs they are closer to an indictment or otherwise -- any signs they are closer to an indictment or otherwise? guest: we have to assume they are close. some agents involved believe they have enough to charge him. there has been a bit of a delay. fescue desert between various other factors -- prosecutors are weighing various other factors. going back to 2018,, we have an election that it will be underway soon. we have to assume this will be resolved and we will see a decision made soon. host: our guest is a senior reporter for the wall street journal. her regular beat is national security, the fbi, the justice de

>> i think judge garland, attorney general garland, has always navigated by calling it straight.y trying to approach the facts and the laws as he finds them. i'm sure that's what he will do, even in the election year, even in controversial times, he's going to be who he is. >> he has also been criticized, i've been a defender of his, i know you have been as well. what do people not understand about his process and how he approaches legal cases? >> i think that judge garland believes very much in the integrity of the justice department and institutional norms there. i think at a time when a lot of americans including me would like to see the justice department get more depressive defending voting rights and reproductive rights. more cautious measured approaches seem not aggressive enough given the threats our rights face. >> do you think the justice department should be more aggressive on those voting rights than they are being now? >> i think they should look for opportunities to go to court and make it clear that voter intimidation is wrong and that some of these efforts in thes

garland has brought it back to what it normally operates as. the result of that is we are all frustrated because we don't know what jack smith is going to do or when he's going to do it. >> that is certainly true. thank you so much. thank you for sharing a lot of light on what we are seeing out there. the second highest ranking house democrat congresswoman catherine clark will join me onset in a few minutes. i will get her take on what is really happening inside the republican-led house. first, my thoughts on fox's decision to sever ties with tucker carlson and what it does and doesn't tell us about the network's future. as we go to break, president biden weighs in on carlson's departure at the white house correspondent dinner. we are back after this. correspondent dinner we are back af ter this >> the truth is we really have a record to be proud of. vaccinated in the nation, transformed the economy, or an historic legislative victories and midterm results, but the job is not finished. it is finished for tucker carlson. carlson. carlson. card i

. >> here's merrick garland. >> lisa monaco, and fbi director paul bate. department arrested jack douglas tecira. an employee of the united states air force national guard fbi agents took him into custody earlier this afternoon without incident he will have an initial appearance at the u.s. district court for the district of massachusetts. i want to thank the fbi justice department prosecutors and our colleagues at the department of defense for their diligent work on this case this investigation is ongoing, we will share more information at the appropriate time. >> that's it, no questions for the attorney general basically con confirming what we already knew we knew the name of him. we knew how old he was certainly nbc news, "new york times," lots of other agencies have a lot more reporting on this what do you make of that brief statement? >> the attorney general was reading from a prompter. it was a carefully crafted statement. short and to the point, and he did not take any questions again, i think the strategy here, just, you know, from the outside look

ag merrick garland holding that press conference yesterday announcing the arrest of the chipito's, els son is running the operation now and they've busted incredible amount of fentanyl, the deadly drug coming across and killing hundreds of thousands of americans, in the last few years. is it your belief that the administration has got a handle on the threat that this fentanyl crisis is posing? >> absolutely not. again, they're attacking a modern day problem with a historic model that doesn't work in this situation. they're looking at the cartels as if they were the chicago mafia and you knew where they live and could reach out and touch them all the time. i applaud arrests and never want to walk away from that. however, in this situation, that model has failed miserably for our country and look at the ag's comments, they were all reactive, he spoke about the victims and feeling sorry and never forgetting the victims. how about we prevent more victims and we save lives by simply securing the border, kind of like a broken windows theory in new york. if you secure the border and take awa

merrick garland may have decided this was too trivial or may have been too busy. maybe may were too busy. how does that feel, and just take me through from cy vance revealing for the first time he was told to stand down i have some refrain that suggests that the disposition of that case, and then some federal prosecutors think it's too trivial for doj to touch >> well, and i was -- i worked for cyrus vance, and i was watching that yesterday. he said he was asked to stand down it's not trivial i said there are going to be people who say, it's just about the porn star case no, it is about someone who is going to become president and then becoming president, conspiring to promote his candidacy, to violate election law, to violate the federal election law and, yes, he's innocent until proven guilty, clearly but i agree with john, this is a statement i now in private practice to clients, when they ask me can i do something, i say well, the president of the united states was indicted for that, so no, you can't it is about, you know, being -- treating everyone without fe

for merrick garland, there are only two possibilities. he either knowinglossibilityy le was utterly oblivious. >> when two of his us attorneys that report to him, who wereingo appointed by joe biden, according to the whistleblower, blocked the planned criminalinsn charges against hunter biden. look, the more these investigators in the house oversight committee examine these one hundred and seventy suspicious activity reporte 162 --s of banking reco, the more shocked and appalled that they are if if hunter biden is only charged with two misdemeanors and two felonies,he sweet that will be the sweetheart deal of the century. >> ttury. i would take thoser cm four crimes and multiply them by a factor of 10 or 20 . wirevery single transam in every wire transfer that goes into a biden family account.if if it is influence peddling and money laundering, as it appears to bppears te, those are separate crimes that you're talking about, potentiaf. hundreds of crimes here. we'll have to wait and seeorks t how this works out.i but i guarantee you , the

although the final signoff is going to be in merrick garland's hands, the decision is ultimately goingor jack smith, and i'm quite confident, given how he has proceeded that the law are going to make it clear that if you don't have an indictment here, that means that no insurrection will ever be held accountable. no attempt at coup, and the country cannot survive that, jack smith knows it, and in the end, merrick garland knows it. >> appreciate your time, thank you. still ahead, new questions about president biden's age, as he announces his second bid for the white house, republicans claimant, what they are calling a cheat sheet at a press event this week in part, due to his age, what the white house is saying about this, with dr. sanjay gupta joining us and what we know about the president and all of our cognitive abilities as we age. doors lead us to places we've never been. your dedicated fidelity advisor can help you open those doors. they can help you create a retirement-income plan designed to balance growth and guaranteed income. and provide access to specialists who help with e

so although the final sign off is going to be in merrick garland's hands, the decision is ultimatelysmith. and i'm quite confident given how he's proceeded that since the facts and the law are going to make it clear that -- that if you don't have an indictment here, that means that no insurrection will ever be held accountable, no attempt to coup. and the country can't survive that. and i think jack smith knows it, and i think in the end merrick garland knows it. >> laurence tribe, appreciate your time. thank you. >>> still ahead new questions about president biden's age and his ability to serve as he announces a second bid for the white house. this as republicans are saying he had what they're calling a cheat sheet due to in part his age. and what dr. sanjay gupta says about the president and all of our cognitive abililities as we age. ♪ ♪ get $1500 purchase allowance on a 2023 cadillac xt5 and xt6. ♪ visit your local cadillac dealer today. ♪ great estimations ♪ interesting piece. let me bring in my expert. mmm... so many scratches... oh those are from my car keys. such a rich histo

but our attorney general, merrick garland, spoke today t about the department of justice's prioritieshave a look at this. invoi'm grateful to the all the professionals across the department who are working to ensure america's freedom to reproductive rightst to protected by federal lawgather together and and with the peopln this room, will continue to fulfill the justice fulf founding responsibility to protect the civil rights of all o americans . >> know what he's really saying. come on , let's be honest abouts it. he really means civil rights for those who are politically on his side. that's what he means, doesn'tt e it? >> yeah. i mean, planned parenthood? and the abortion industry hasod a grip on the biden administration. they are has willing to send the fbi after christians praying outside of abortion clinics. they're they're willinnd tg to o after parents and school board meetings, are willing to send the fbi to infiltrate churches in richmond, virginia. a but they're going to turn b a blind eye to these abortion industry activist and trans terrorist terrorizing catholic churches

and really, if merrick garland doesn't know that he is not doing his job properly. the attorney general of the united states can't commit crimes by definition. that's got to be the end of him as our attorney general, i would think. >> it would be if you could prove it. all these people are clever. they have plausible deniability, layer upon layer in which they can pretend they don't know what's happened. that's what biden's entire business model is all about. his relatives go and get the bribes and he pretends he doesn't know about it. >> such a smart point. thank you so much for that summary tonight. we'll be talking again i hope. thank you. >> thank you. >> by the way, should say based on something miranda pointed out for all of the grouching we've done about the republican congress, it has been chuck grassley of iowa, ron johnson of wisconsin, two republican senators who have been honest from the beginning. they're the ones that pushed the doj to answer the question. has nick mcwade recused himself from the hunter biden investigation. never got an answer as far a

in other words, merrick garland and the doj exposed here? >> well, you got to wonder in the timing is interesting, buttw i think it's that probablyon the coupled with all the facts that chairman culmer and the house oversight committee i've uncovered, i mean, you gotmethi one hundred and seventy some now suspicious activit actiy reports ,thousands othf pages in thesenh reports, multiple l.l.c.es that were receiving money fromg monem foreign entities and foreign governments and that money wasfn now going to 12 different bidene family members. and the fundamental question y'h you always have to ask is what service did they provide to receive the funds? . what value did they add? what job did they do?t find you can't find anything. and so tha t in and of itself then plus this whistleblower coming forward, i think is whatg you're probably finally now starting to see some action on the part of the u.sto see s . attorney . >> let m>> seae ask you , did tt knowingly send agenthes to bigst tech companies even though they had hundreds of laptops sinc

senior officials cited in the whistleblower's letter, if true, that would contradict testimony that garland himself delivered under oath lasteave month. >> i promised to leaveheiden i the matter on f biden in o the hands of the u.s.f attorney for the district of delaware.. t i have pledged not to interferei with that investigation. and i have carried through on my pledge. too does the nation's top lawyer, not a lawyer, but there's something else there sweating about tonight. one news that ex ciar director mike morell had become a problem for biden. it turnst he out t thaest he te under oath that was the bidenr campaign itself that was behind that letter that he and 50er other former intel officials released that claim, remember, falsely that information from w hunter biden's laptop that was just russiant ru disinformation. >> congressman jordan, jim jordan asked, well, what was the intent of the statement? and morell answered, one intent was to share our concern with the american people. concern n that the russians werg on this issue. >> and two, it was to help vice president , the viceed t

g., merrick garland. the whistleblower is prepared to reveal flarls to handle clear conflicts of interest in the case and detail preferential treatment and politics improperly infecting decisions and protocols. >> brian: he also believes the senior appointee lied in front of congress, gave false testimony to congress about this case. the "wall street journal" expands on that, and they have said in the past the "wall street journal" that investigators believe they have more than enough evidence to indict president biden's son. but the case has not moved forward. john solomon breaking this story picked up by the "wall street journal" and us said this last night. >> the interesting thing about this whistleblower is he doesn't want to just hang out with republicans. he wants to face the music. he wants to look democrats and republicans and independents in the eye so he sent this letter to the democratic side. he sent it to the republican side. he is not afraid to confront the adam schiffs and the eric swalwel

. >> and now an irs whistleblower claiming that attorney general merrick garland is the senior political appointee at the center of his claims that the biden administration is interfering with the hunter biden probe. >> a career officer who is respective within the irs and etch toos other agents how to properly do investigations and knows when to spot when investigative steps aren't done in the traditional way to get at the truth. he is spotted and observed things that are done differently and believes they were influenced by politics. >> the white house didn't have much to say when asked about the whistleblower seeking protection. >> the president respects the rule of law and the independence of the department of justice and believes that is what they should do and we believe it should be independent. department of justice will deal with this issue. for his part, merrick garland has claim under oath there would be no political interference in the hunter biden probe. through his attorney, the whistleblower says he has information to contradict garland's statements, which were under oath

we are also expecting the us attorney general, merrick garland to make a statement on the situation in who answered questions from press sink there is an ongoing department of justice investigation that they want to make sure that investigation has continued before he could give more information, but we are hearing and have been hearing that in the last few minutes, the fbi has said that it has made an arrest and is continuing to conduct authorised law enforcement activity at a residence in massachusetts. we are expecting a press conference from the us attorney general merrick garland who will make a statement on the situation in the next few minutes. the new york times and cbs have both reported that the suspect�*s name is jack teixeira and he is a 21—year—old. as soon as we have more information on that developing story, we will be bringing that to you. let's go to the rest of the days news now. to france now. there have been minor clashes with the police in a few places but much less violence so far than during some previous rallies. this was the scene at the constitutional court in

garland hasn't said much about this. but when before congress he did say this i have pledged not to interfere with that investigation and i have carried through on my pledge. now again , this is unproven. it would be off the charts blockbuster. if you could prove that to not be true. he was under oath when he told that to congress never mind that is the chief law enforcement officer, and he has said that this is in the hands of mr weiss. david weiss is a holdover from the trump administration. they deliberately left a trump us attorney from delaware in charge because they understood the sensitivity of this one of the frustrations is these facts you've mentioned goes back to 2018 the facts. are they changing or if they're not changing? why is it taking so long appear to be the same, but investigations and say go forward. there is sometimes internal dissent about whether the fact that you have are strong enough to support a case and prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. and we're talking about tax charges when you're talking

we heard the same from merrick garland moments ago. the "washington post" managed to track down and interview a member of the online chat group that teixeira led for the past few years. >> any claims that he's a russian operative or pro russian is categorically false. he's not interested in helping any foreign agencies with their attack on the u.s. or other countries. he was a young man, charismatic that loved nature, god, who loved shooting guns and racing cars. >> this teenager in california told "the washington post" he was one of 20 or so members that met with the alleged leaker during the pandemic on a server called thug shaker central on discord. he acted like a father figure to the teens. they called him o.g. >> every day we would watch movies, play games, do activities together. we'd stream our houses and mess around and dance and have fun. when members would have issues like mental health crisises, o.g. and other members would help them out. >> the teen described the small group as his online family. unlike edward snowden and

merrick garland, if you're listening, this could be something you can investigate.kes people sad, i know, but unfortunately, the only way to remove a supreme court justice for an ethical violation like this or any other is through the constitutional process of impeachment. that is the actual way but i will say to your listeners that don't let clarence thomas off the hook simply because republicans like jim jordan and kevin mccarthy won't hold him accountable. there was another supreme court justice who was also accused of taking undisclosed millions, right. he was appointed by a democrat there was a democratic congress. it's not clear if that congress would have impeached him but abe fortas had the sensibility to resign. and that is all -- >> you never know. >> -- that's an option open to clarence thomas, to have some dignity and resign >> it is and, again, we don't do predictions. if the public and the system and the bar and these other entities deal with this as a serious infraction as it is, who knows where it will lead as you say, some of the legal bars are high

on the breaking news of the suspected leaker of the classified documents attorney general merrick garland identified him as 21-year-old air national guardsman, jack tech t teixeira "the new york times" spoke with members of the private group teixeira oversaw the chat where 20 to 30 people, mostly young men and teenagers came together over a shared love of guns, racist online memes and video games. it is in that group that airman teixeira is said to have uploaded hundreds of pages of intelligence briefings, according to the times joining me now is justice correspondent, ken dilanian. the details are unbelievable in this case. walk us through what we know one more time, what is out there and how we think it got out there. >> what is out there, alex, are some highly classified documents showing the fruits of american eavesdropping, signals intelligence on russia and many other countries. very embarrassing revelations that the u.s. has supplied on allies not surprising to the allies, but embarrassing when it becomes public, ukraine's air defenses and weaknesses, relevant to the war. the justi

we're expecting attorney general merrick garland to come out any second now to talk about u.s. plans to target and continue targeting mexican drug cartels with us, gabe gutierrez and general barry mccaffrey. general, i think it's extraordinary to think about the influence and the impact that these cartels have not only in mexico but throughout the world. let's go to the attorney general. >> good morning. i'm joined today by deputy attorney general monaco, u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york williams, acting u.s. attorney for the northern district of illinois pass kwaul, u.s. attorney for the southern district of california grossman. fbi associate director turner and i.c.e. acting deputy director lechlightner. today the justice department is announcing significant enforcement actions against the largest, most violent and most prolific fentanyl trafficking operation in the world that operation is run by the sinaloa cartel and fueled by chinese precursor chemical and pharmaceutical companies the justice department is attacking every aspect of the cartel's operation

they're good public servants brian fallon, let's start with merrick garland.mp, who basically livestreams his crimes, what are the chances he opens an investigation into clarence thomas? >> yeah, you know, i would answer that question two ways, nicolle. one is there are appropriate grounds here for a federal investigation. the answer to that is clearly yes. then there's a second question of whether this particular attorney general merrick garland is willing to do that. and that's what i think you're getting at with the premise of your question. in one sense he's a former federal judge himself merrick garland on the d.c. circuit court of aappeals. he probably has a personal relationship with clarence thomas, probably has run in the same circles with him as two judges in the upper echelons of the federal judiciary. so would he probably be loath to do that? probably but look at how quickly he's acted to appoint a special prosecutor in what i think is a far less merited case of joe biden's classified documents so whereas here i think that the circumstances are scr

>> again, that was attorney general merrick garland describing some of the sinaloa cartel's violencepeople charged have been arrested and remain in custody. and colombia, greece, guatemala and the u.s. the father of the gunman who shot and killed 5 people in louisville this week says that his son's brain >> will be examined for cte. the degenerative brain disease is typically found in people who have had repeated instances of head trauma like professional athletes, a family spokesperson says that the gunman suffered 3 concussions when he played football and basketball in middle and high school symptoms of cte include aggression, depression, and sometimes suicidal behavior. currently, cte is only diagnosable with an autopsy and a neuro exam after death. >> that in florida baby was rescued from a home under the night sky. it happened in fort lauderdale, florida, first responder sharing video. they say they've not responded to more than 900 calls for help after the area experienced historic flooding. drivers are being urged to exercise caution and avoid roads that still have standing wa

with which jack smith brought these cases and they have been resolved there's no evidence merrick garlande as we get closer to 2024, which is could this have started earlier? and if it didn't start earlier, why didn't it start earlier? it's sort of one of the great unknowns of where we are today we know that the justice department's january 6th investigation started at sort of the, for lack of a better term, the blue collar level of those that trespass and broke into the capitol. and it wasn't only until many months later, if not perhaps a year later, that they really started to bear down on those who were directly around the president. and because of that, it delayed everything i think that, you know, there's certainly enough former federal prosecutors around that would say that in the aftermath of january 6th or even right after trump left office -- let's say if you were at the justice department and you were so afraid to do anything around trump in the days after january 6th because maybe you were afraid trump wasn't going to leave or whatever, that the former federal prosecutors will

that's not to excuse garland i think we've taken way too long on these two federal investigations so, you know, hopefully, jack smith coming in has energized the investigations and it's going to final lead to some activity one way or the other. because it's not good for anyone to have the claims lingering, that could affect the possible defendants not good for the prosecution as evidence gets staler and the like. >> and you wonder if it will prove to be a vulnerability, the fact that the feds have not pursued, the doj has not pursued it i think that's the question to be answered in the coming weeks and months let me ask you, dan, about this arraignment that was supposed to start at 2:15. any chance that the trump team got a copy of the indictment before heading into court and reviewing it now is that a possibility? >> i don't think so. possibly, but it seems the way the d.a. has set this up, you know, it's a very controlled and orderly process that is clearly by the book. which is the indictment does not get unsealed until the actual arraignment. it's possible -- you know, look, i don
