joe and hunter are tied at the hip on all of this. hunter recently lived at the white house. he got secret service detail. he got a federal motorcade and the secret service even rented a $30,000 a month house next to hunter when he lived in malibu, california. biden refuses to offer protection for robert f. kennedy jr. who is 20% in the polls despite serious threats against him and prior assassinations of his father and his uncle and president jfk. hunter is no ordinary private citizen. the scandal is not about crack cocaine in the wild life of a. it is about public corruption tied to joe, the president of the united states and a complicit department of justice. that is why these committees and james comer's committee, these committees are working in tandem, looking at the biden family syndicate. they have been politicized and weaponized and are being used to protect the whole family enterprise. there is a lot to go over in terms of what to absorb this week, what we expect next week that we will here on monday from devon archer. i assume it will be blockbuster. james comer sa

meanwhile, this is karine jean-pierre moment ago at the white house on hunter biden. >> hunter biden is a private citizen and this was a personal matter for him. as we have said, the president, the first lady, they love their son and they support him as he continues to rebuild his life. this case was handled independently as all of you know by the justice department under the leadership of a prosecutor appointed by the former president, president trump. so for anything further as you know, and we have been very consistent from here, i would refer you to the department of justice and to hunter's representatives who is his legal team, obviously, who can address any of your questions. >> sandra: ok, that briefing is ongoing, she's likely to get pressed further and take more questions from the media on what is happening there at that federal courthouse and we'll certainly get back to the briefing room as that happens. but first, karl rove, former chief of staff and fox news contributor. great to have you here. as we have had a lot of legal analysis in the first half hour here, political

hunter pleaded not guilty to the tax and gun charges and are found guilty a bit now hunter conveys real time behind bars like the rest of america unless of course another sweetheart deal is reached. keep in mind according to the "washington examiner," this is the same judge that sentenced another individual to five years in prison for an illegal possession of a f firearm. the judge ordered hunter biden to actively seek employment and bar them from possessing a firearm prohibiting using alcohol or any other drugs. require them to submit to random drug testing. hunter is not charged with other crimes including not registering for a foreign agent as f.a.r.a. requires. are we to believe that hunter's attorneys didn't know about all of this until today or do they have an understanding with a weaponized and politicized merrick garland department of justice that if you take the sweetheart deal, no more charges will be forthcoming. this does not meet the smell test to me. this all comes one day after judge maryellen noreika accuse hunter biden's legal team, this was an odd term of events late l

and hunter biden checked no. but as he's prepared to admit today, he was using drugs before, during and after the purchase of that weapon. so, he provided misleading information to the federal government at the time of the purchase. something that as barb was saying is -- there is a criminality question there, but it is rarely brought as a charge. >> mike memoli, michael schmidt, barbara mcquaid, thank you so much for being with us this morning. >>> our coverage of hunter biden's plea agreement continues. up next, we'll get reaction from capitol hill and break down the political fallout to all of this. we're back in 60 seconds. you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. >>> 15 past the hour. we're following breaking news of president biden's son hunter, who is in court, still in court this morning, to enter a guilty plea on two misdemeanor tax charges. just last night, house republicans urged the judge to throw out his plea agreement. nbc's ali vitali

e-mails found on hunter's laptop, mackler corresponded with hunter biden and referred to hunter as arother. now while that was convenient, having mackler in weiss's office and we learned from daily mail about mackler's connection with leslieshg wolf, assistant attorney accused by irs whistleblowers of stymieing the hunter biden investigation, even though evidence showed important links between father and son there. again, just another biden coincidence, i'm certain. while serving for the office that was investigating hunter biden, he checked in with him. remember crack cocaine and prostitute vengeance. mackler wrote, love you, hope you're good, call me sometime and october 2018, he asked hunter how life was and said, give me a call sometime and we can catch up and ended the e-mail with love you, brother. he was still working in the u.s. attorney's office at that time. was there any concern in the office about wolf's ties to mackler while investigating hunter biden? source close to the delaware probe told daily mail mack ler worked with wolf on one case and the two were friends and th

hunter biden out of this.walk into a courtroom with a deal in your head that you thought you were getting, it's very important that you get it ironed out what exactly that deal means because of potential legal exposure. >> this is the most important deal to make. forget about buying a house or a car, this is 100 times more important. especially if you believe you worked out a deal that will likely spare you prison time, as in this case. it's up to the judge. to so the number one question i would have if i was the defense lawyer, the deal is he's going to plead guilty to these two misdemeanors. . we're going to divert the gun charge. but what happens with the other stuff that's been swirling for five years? if you don't have a straight answer on that, you don't have a deal, the judge is right to not accept it. >> standby for a minute. let's bring back our senior correspondent evan perez. if you will just take a step back and look at all of this now, where does this leave things in your mind? where are we now if

hunter biden has no formal art education. 50s and doesn't have any exhibition history, no museum showings, those are the things that we look for in an artist and we value their work. >> you look for training and history of being an artist? and maybe like a formal career path? >> right. being a celebrity in and it itself can equate to your artwork holding a premium. it certainly has in a number of cases. there are celebrity artists like sylvester alone johnny depp, hm vrioni, lucy lu. but the premium can only go or should only go so far. from what i write when business insider broke the story and gave the details, it seems as though hunter biden's paintings have sold at least maybe 13 of them sold for an average of almost $75,000 apiece. that does seem very hard to justify. >> eli, you are an expert in this area. let's look at this. i guess they are saying this could go for $75,000. tell me about that. >> art can be very subjective. one person's masterpiece can be another person's piece of. i am not going to opine on the quali

>> it was from hunter biden. >> it was from hunter biden. i >> thank you.it was linked to hunter biden. >> now, mr. shipley. where the bidens complicating a deal with the fcc timeframe? >> i would have to stick to my transcripts. i don't know if i describe that. i think that is a portion of the whatsapp message. however, i do believe the full chain. if it's, relevant we can turn it over to the house ways and means committee. they can vote to release that. >> it would be appreciated. to set the stage. one person has come forward, tony bubble in, ski -- contemplating a deal it was cfc even earlier than 2017. he's come forward and said that. is tony bottle in ski that tony referenced in the whatsapp? >> we need to stick to the transcript. in my testimony i reference sino-hawk. the sino hawk deal. we know the deal never went through. that relates to see espn china. >> the tony that he is referencing, do you believe that to be tony? >> i did not mention anything related to tony bob lindsey. or what i can do again is provide any information related to him to hous

tto the bewilderment of hunter and his legal team, prosecutors then had to admit in court that hunter could still be charged with future crimes including violations and was still the subject of what is an ongoing investigation. clearly not the deal they struck with prosecutors but the judge very wisely courageously saw what was going on and exposed the real intention of this so-called deal which was to prevent hunter and his dad from ever being held accountable for the millions and tens of millions of dollars that they did in business deals with foreign countries. many of them hostile regimes to our country for zero experience from his son at that time he was addicted to crack or was it really just access to joe that they were paying for? what other services were hunter able to offer them? this was hunter's get out of jail free forever card and the judge stopped dead in the tracks. think about this. how did hunter and his lawyers show up in court yesterday to accept the plea agreement and not know that critical fact? how did they not know that place mike it's obvious. they are putting

not a good day for hunter biden. tuned for more of that on fox news this afternoon. >> neil: hunter biden plea deal not a deal. not done. not even close. the drama goes on. i'm neil cavuto. fox on top of a deal that was signed, sealed, almost delivered until the judge had a problem with both sides. have you been talking to each other? shared notes with each other? because right now this is lying. what happened and what to make it with griff jenkins.

in hunter biden. because he sold access to his father, the big guy. you americans out there may have a compromise president in your white house. you should certainly be concerned. mr. zigler how did the irs investigation regarding hunter biden begin, tell us briefly sir. >> it was a review of bank records regarding another investigation i was working. >> is ancillary to another criminal investigation? is that correct sir? >> corrects pickwick sure criminal investigators that correct sir? like that is correct. >> that is correct. thank you very much investigator hashapley and september 3, 2020 meeting with the prosecution team for the hunter biden case assistant u.s. attorney leslie wolf told your team there is more than enough probable cause hyfor the physical search warrat of the guesthouse at the formerm president of delaware's residence for hunter biden stayed for a time. did u.s. attorney leslie wolf confirm your investigativeiv effort that you had sufficient probable cause for search? >> yes she

hunter biden is 53 years old. a settlement with the mother of his child in arkansas and now he is trying to put these matters behind him. we're about to find out whether or not he is successful. >> dana: this hearing start evidence at 10:00 a.m. these are usually routine matters. we're now at 11:00 hour and harris faulkner will take you through to the next little bit of this and you are expected the hear from hunter biden when he comes out. here is harris. >> harris: we continue our breaking news coverage. as dana said we're at the 11:00 hour just like the saying the 11th hour for president biden's son, hunter. who is in federal court and he has been there since 10:00 a.m. eastern. we are at that point in the saga around hunter biden's criminal life when a judge will either ink his so-called sweetheart plea deal or reject it. that would be huge if she did that. hunter biden is there to plead guilty to tax charges and sl

nature of this investigation and who hunter biden is. her to have a role that could interfere with the decisions to bring a criminal case. she told hunter biden that i am sorry, she knew he wanted to resolve it, but she wanted to make sure that the diversion agreement was constitutional. both sides will be briefing on this issue. the judge will have them back in court again to resolve the matter. as it stands, he entered a plea of not guilty, because he would only plead guilty if the agreement was intact. >>> we also have evan perez with us. just a moment ago, we were talking about the back and forth of this ordeal, where prosecutors walks in with the defense team. they had something laid out, an agreement on they two federal charges for tax evasion and the gun charge, and then essentially there was a dispute over the agreement. they then went into recess, came up with a new agreement, but the judge ultimately decided it was invalid, it wasn't up to her standard. >> reporter: right. i think at issue for the judge she's trying to protecti

ha work is into hunter biden. it speaks to the point that for republicans having the power of the gavel right now allows them to really equivocate between the idea that donald trump is under multiple investigations, multiple indictments as we wait for the third indictment this summer for the former president. they're trying to equivocate those tangible charges and nchgss with the investigations they are doing loosely on the house judiciary and weaponization front into hunter biden trying to connect them to president joe biden. all of this is an attempt to muddy the waters and just attach the word investigations to both candidates for the likely front runners in 2024, nevertheless, you're hearing from people like senator ron johnson who are saying they're happy about the way this plea deal has been derailed. congresswoman lauren boebert saying mark my words saying the biden crime family will go down as the most corrupt family in american political history. again, i think it's really important to underscore that eve

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, california. but biden refuses to offer l an secret service protection for robert f kennedy jr. who's, what, 20% in the polls? despite serious threaty jr. whst him and prior assassinations of both his fathes agr, his uncle, then president, jfk. so let's be cleaanr here. hunter is no ordinary private citizen.

>> hunter biden. >> thank you very much. i think i clarified for america why we were interested in hunter biden? because he sold access to his father, the big guy. you americans out there may have a compromised president in your white house. you should certainly be concerned. mr. zeigler, how did the irs investigation regarding hunter biden begin? tell us briefly, sir. >> it was a review of bank records regarding another investigation i was working. >> so it was ancillary to another criminal investigation? is that correct, sir? >> yes. >> you're a criminal investigator, correct? >> yes. >> not civil? >> that's correct. >> investigator shapley, assistant u.s. attorney leslie wolf told your team there was more than enough probable cause for the physical search warrant of the guest house at then former vice president's delaware residence where hunter biden stayed for a time. did u.s. attorney leslie wolf confirmed your investigative effort that you had sufficient probable cause for search? >> yes, she did. >> thanks very much.

listen here. >> are you at all worried that hunter biden and the controversies and the cases around hunter biden are going to be a liability for president biden in 2024? >> no, bottom line this is a prosecution done in a fair way by a former trump prosecutor and i have faith in the results. >> john: he has faith in the results. we thought the results were going to be completely different. jonathan, you said if you were crafting that plea deal it would have been a close-out plea deal. would have given him immunity from future prosecution. but how could the doj in good faith with everything else that's swirling, including the potential fara charge they were talking about in court today and everything else that we have heard in the house committees and the fd-1023, how could the doj in good faith craft a close-out plea deal? >> well, i don't think they can. you are asouping that this is based on good faith, and this deal was in my view almost laughable. you know, you had the whistleblowers tell congress just a week ago that there was an opportunity for the department of justice to extend the

hunter knows who they are.ne of them is also apparently the same person who made hunter's tax bill just magically disappear. just magically go away. wouldn't it be nice to have friends who can just make $2 million of your taxes go away and by your tremendously awful artwork at 100 times market value? >> laura: i think, you know, we call it a hunter biden scam. this is really a biden family grift. this is all about selling the white house. selling influence, when he was vice president, or now. and so he is just a conduit or the blow art maker. he is a conduit for all of this. this is really a joe biden and biden family corruption scam isn't this the best way to reference. this. >> as joe biden has said from the beginning this is all about joe biden. just like reference has absolutely zero artistic skill, in fact, you would have to pay me one more second looking at the atrocious artwork. generally horrifying abysmal works of art. he has no in energy. his only skill is grift. >> laura: i have got to play. this ste

this is not just hunter biden. as long as we're saying hunter biden, we forget everything else. again, hunter biden did step forward and say i did not feel taxes in two years and yes, this gun charge i'll take responsibility for. now, i love the fact that we're so much in love with the irs. in fact, speaker mccarthy said when he was elected on the 15th vote that the first bill that he would repeal funding for is the business that would provide for 87,000 additional irs employees. my, don't we love the irs. we're just going to cut their budget. in fact, there's a member of this committee who on their own website said that they're proud to have voted to strip away the plan to empower the irs with additional funding. so i'm going to get back to those two words again about keeping it rule. i think we have to do that. i just think mr. shapley, two quick things. did hunter biden in any way in your knowledge -- not hunter. did any of his children receive money? yes or no. >> i think special agent zeigler -- >> yes or no. >> special -- >> either one. yes or no. >> thanks for your questi

hunter biden's court appearance is 10:00 a.m. eastern expected the plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and entering a separate agreement on a gun felony. >> bill: the deal has outraged republicans. they say prosecutors were pressured to go easy on the president's son and urging the judge to disregard the agreement. >> dana: and here is what happened. republican congressman jason smith tried to intervene in the case. he filed whistleblower testimony on the public docket detailing allegations of political interference. >> bill: the allegation. apparently a member of hunter's legal team called the court to have that information sealed. the judge says that person lied about who they were and who they represented and present tended to be a member of the republican smith's legal team. >> dana: hunter biden's counsel denies that accusation chalking it up to a misunderstanding. will the judge buy that? we'll find out in less than an hour. analysis from andy mccarthy. we start with griff jenkins outside the courthouse in wilmingto

this was in an email obtained from hunter biden's laptop. hunter biden confirms.vice president biden is coming december 7th through ninth biden has officially visited uae u.s. tax dollars for to -- withhold he lied about this during the campaign. he specifically said it wasn't true. sir enough -- if you have any questions about whether he buys them, generate 23rd of 2018 he brags about it years later. ladies and gentlemen, the american people, that's the scheme. that is the proof of concept. they replicated it again and again because they never thought biden would be president. no one did he is our president. and because of his, actions because of him selling policy decisions to adversaries abroad for personal gain, he is vulnerable. he is vulnerable. it's a vulnerable cause of it. we are not here to prosecute hunter biden. we care about our country's national security and whether the president can compromise. that's why we are here. that's why we're here. . with that, i yield back. the >> chair recognizes carlee from virginia. >> thank you, mister chairman, thank

hunter biden enjoyed many of them in different venues, running out. this moment, what is at stake in this courtroom and this particular plea deal, it is not everything on the table. a lot of it has already ran and second point, it has been argued haste with which this plea deal was almost achieved was in part because we are coming up to an election year, which tommy, you have a lot of thoughts on. >> it is clear we think with nature of how hunter has been handled by the white house, they put him in front, this is campaign season. you have to presume this is a campaign and i winced when talking about special prosecutor. this is biden doj, it has been political from the start ranging from donald trump to this situation. we see what they are willing to do on both extremes and both ends. i am not the only person who thinks, will that matter? these people are in on the fix, that has to change. single judge, this is importance of appointments and judges elected founders knew this would be an issue, had to be separation of powers and issue with supreme court

hunter biden never worked in the west wing.s not part of the inner workings of the white house at any time in the same way that jared kushner or ivanka trump were. when you look at even just the financial resources that the trump family has been the beneficiary of from questionable sources and questions about how they arranged those financial dealings, it completely dwarves anything compared to hunter biden. so the fact that they're willing to look the other way while donald trump's family has done that which they are accusing hunter biden of doing just tells everyone that there's really no substance there, that it's just political theater, that it's a 2024 mechanism, just as kevin mccarthy once said that the benghazi investigation was designed to take down hillary clinton's presidential cam pane, this is the same thing they're trying to do with hunter biden in trying to take down joe biden. it's kind of wash, rinse, repeat the republican playbook. i think it also kind of illustrates the fact that their policies, their extreme

hunter biden pleading not guilty to the tax charges. political headache for the white house. >> this case was handled independently as all of you know by the just department under the leadership of a prosecutor appointed by the former president, president trump. >> reporter: the original plea agreement sparking outrage from republicans, blasting it as a sweetheart deal for the president's son, which allowed him to avoid prison time. the attorney general has said that u.s. attorney david weiss has full authority to bring whatever charges he wanted, but two irs investigators turned whistle blowers recently told congress that was not true. >> it appeared to me based on what i experienced that the usga attorney in delaware in our investigation was constantly hamstrung, limited and marginalized by doj officials as well as other u.s. attorneys. >> reporter: meanwhile hunter biden's foreign business dealings at the of house republicans growing investigations into the president that could lead to an impeachment inquiry. >> the impeachment inqui

>> yeah, look, devon archer was hunter biden's partner and if anyone knows better than hunter biden and joe biden, devon archer would know and these claims are credible number one. they fit the same pattern of everything that the house oversight judiciary and ways and means committee with the irs have established and documented at this point. what we know is this, that the president said he had never discussed his business dealings with his son. we know that to be untrue based on the fact that 20 accounts linked to bidens were never disclosed and they received over $17 million for selling something. now, you can try and figure out what they were selling but $17 million from foreign entities and foreign individuals and we also know that joe biden, the brand so-to-speak was patched in to -- in 20 different occasions, think about that. on a speakerphone, joe biden has no idea who's on the other end of the speakerphone likely someone corrupt, certainly somebody from a foreign government and likely an adversary or someone at least not necessarily with the united states best interest first in

hunter's lawyers, hunter has lifelong immunity from everything. he'll never get charged for anything again having to do with anything anywhere. the judge said, really? and biden's prosecutors embarrassed said, well... this is still an active investigation and still may be charged for a few things. hunter 'lawyers said, there is no deal. all hello hell broke loose. how do both sides have a plea deal that blows up in the first five seconds. this sweetest of sweetheart deals was agreed to a month ago and i do not think they put any of it in writing. it was more of a handshake deal. a lot has happened since then. when news of the deal broke, even the mainstream media said hunter was getting home cooking and immediately after to go highly credible irs whistle-blowers came forward and detailed a five year justice department conspiracy to obstruct the case against the bidens. tip-off's, roadblock, special treatment beard prosecutors weren't allowed to clack down the crack open the laptop. on top of that, fbi in forming a ukrainian bribed joe biden, and n

what's at stake for hunter biden here? >> well, harris, i'm glad that phil said what he said because there is a lot of misunderstanding about it. he really put it perfectly, which is the judge is not in the business of telling the justice department what charges to bring. the judge has no authority to do that. but the judge is in charge of the integrity of the court. and the judge can say you guys are going to have to come up with something else. we're not putting the court's stamp on this. this is really what this process is. and if she tells them that she won't sign off on this deal. i doubt they will do anything that drastic today. she is probably more likely to, you know, if she goes that route to adjourn it and get more information from the parties. but if she tells them to go back to the drawing board, then anything can happen short of things that are being lost day-by-day by day under the statute of limitations. for example, the gun charge, which we've talked very little about but which a number of us think is very

biden and hunter biden put him on speaker phone and he spoke in some form or another, addressed hunterassociates. we don't yet know, though, bill, whether that maybe happened without then vice president biden being aware that he was on speaker phone. that part of this has not been confirmed yet, but these pieces are moving hot and heavy and very fast right now. >> bill: the interview, john turley, you are right about that, and what dan goldman, the democratic congressman from here in new york representing the lower east side of manhattan was suggesting, dads talk to their sons all the time and regardless as to whether or not they are sitting at a table with multi-million dollar business deals on the line or not, it's hard to say who you know is on the other end of the phone, suggesting that this was all innocent. how archer answered those questions is really anybody's guess, gillian. keep in mind, he and hunter biden go back decades and they have done deals all over the world, not just in washington, d.c., but places like kazakhstan, ukraine, china, some of the bigger players we believ

would hunter biden agree to one without the other? hunter under questioning from the judge said they needed to be linked. there was disagreement about whether that was the proceeding. the more serious complication boils down to whether the case that was being prosecuted, whether the investigation by the u.s. attorney here in delaware had concluded, whether this agreement today represented the closure, the finality of the investigation or whether there could be future charges on separate potentially related issues involving business dealings down the road. when the team was questioned about the judge about that fact, they indicated, yes, this investigation is ongoing. the judge asked them questions at this point saying, why are we going through this proceed agent the moment if there could be further charges down the road? hunter biden's legal team expressing questions about that at the same time. they were under the impression here that they were agreeing to these terms with the express intent of bringing this to a conclusion. there wa

this is politics, hunter biden has real legal approximate. -- problems. he is being used for political gain. >> jackie, weigh in on david weiss. he agreed to testify in front of a republican-held conference in the fall, and he said, and i quote, it is the most appropriate time for any testimony on the subjects after the matter is closed. does that mean it's likely that testimony is going to get kicked down the road considering where we are with this plea deal now no longer? >> that's a really good question. there seems to be a high likelihood that prosecutors and the defense are going to resolve this, although considering how politicized the issue is, i could very well be wrong. but i do think that justice department officials think it's important for david weiss, the u.s. attorney for delaware, who was appointed by trump and led the five-year investigation for hunter biden to testify publicly, and try to dispel some of the misperceptions as weiss has called it about accusations of political meddling. republicans based on testimony from the whistleblowers
