congressman mike turner member of the house oversight committee and chair of the house oversight committee. first off, chairman, your response to what hunter has been charged with a plea deal that will keep him out of jail? >> this is a ridiculous sweetheart deal as everyone has been identifying it. they call it a pre-trial agreement. in fact it's precharge. they didn't bring charges against hunter until they already had this deal buttoned up which is basically giving him a free pass. in the end though, he will be a convicted felon and this will not impact the house investigation on the sources of these funds and from what we understand and from what you heard from the department of justice, the investigations are ongoing in the department of justice, also concerning the sources of those funds, which are very questionable, his dealings in ukraine and also the new documents that make allegations that even the then joe biden vice president might have been involved. >> ainsley: what's your reaction to james comer saying that he will continue this investigation into the biden family alleged sc

in the words of speaker mccarthy, it "enhances the investigation" that the house oversight committee s launched into the bidens. the question will be exactly what information they can get. one of the questions that has been raised by the house oversight committee chairman is the fact that the justice department indicated this investigation is still ongoing. what does that mean, and will that prevent them from getting future records? republicans have downplayed the fact that this is a trump-appointed u.s. attorney that launched this investigation. speaker of the house himself has tried to equate what happened here with the fact that the justice department pursued prosecution against former president donald trump, even though the two situations are different and the facts are much different. i tried to press the speaker about this issue, but he contended the justice department is biased. >> it just seems to me that if you are the leading opponent of the president, you're going to get jail time. but if you're the son of the president, you don't get any jail time. >> those are two separat

that's exactly what we've proven on the house oversight committee. and then you have the tape that you just played from 2017 where joe biden admitted to leveraging foreign aid tax dollars. so the fbi knew this all along yet they never investigated this one time. thankfully now the house oversight committee is. >> sean: let me stay focused on the first incident then we're going to bring it up to where you are in your investigation. okay, joe biden leverages the billion, he gets a prosecutor fired, used our money to do it, and his son continues to get paid. his son had no experience. he's getting paid a lot of money. and my question is, is that a vice-president of the united states of america taking specific actions for the financial benefit of his family? because that's what it seems like to me. otherwise, why would any vice-president give a rip about a prosecutor in ukraine? they wouldn't care about it, would they? >> no. >> sean: what? >> i think it is, sean. and you look back, why did joe biden volunteer, during the end of the obama administration,

my question for the fbi is why do i have to go as chairman of the house oversight committee into the skif, which is where you go for classified information, to look at an un classified document that you all redact over 60% of. it doesn't make any sense. either the fbi is covering up for joe biden or they are cover ing up for themselves for not ever investigating these credible allegations that the president of the united states took a bribe from a foreign national. brian: well given how heavily redacted these were, i'm sort of surprised your colleague, democrat jamie raskin, the ranking member on oversight, said republicans on your committee are "using the document to breathe new life into base less allegations against the president and it maybe time to find a new wild goose chase." it seems to me you don't know much about the chase if you can't read most of what's in those documents, congressman. >> the allegations that we looked at yesterday were dated in 2017. jamie raskin likes to say these were all generated by rudy giuliani. that is a lie. jamie raskin continues to go out and l

the briefing the fbi refused to hand over the unclassified record to the custody of the house oversight committee and we will now initiate contempt of congress hearings this thursday. given the severity and complexity of the allegations in this record, congress must investigate further. americans have lost trust in the fbi's ability to enforce the law impartially and demand answers, transparency and accountability. the investigation is not dead. this is only the beginning. it appears this investigation is part of on ongoing investigation which i assume is in delaware. the committee will follow the facts and be transparent to the american people with our findings. >> are we talking about documents? federal documents and what could be documents, could they end up showing more biden family business dealings? >> this document was dated july 30, 2020. the claims made in the document are consistent with what we found and disclosed to you in romania. it suggests a pattern of bribery, where payments would be made through shell accounts and multiple banks. there's a term for that called money laundering.
