hunter biden lives in los angeles. he is preparing for a federal court appearance tomorrow to answer for three felony tax charges and why i'm in los angeles now. back in washington, d.c. hunter biden paying attention to the news there. the two committees, house oversight and judiciary committee are undergoing what are called mark-up to begin contempt proper senesced. the reason we're we are today in washington, d.c. with hunter biden is because he willfully ignored a congressional subpoena back in december. instead he chose to show up and make a statement in front of the media. you see him there with the capitol dome behind him. he did not come for a scheduled deposition behind closed doors. he said he would speak in public in front of cameras for millions to see. here is oversight chair james comer just a little while ago. >> he had this publicity stunt in front of the senate. gave congress the middle finger and drove off with eric swalwell. this isn't the way the law works. >> if contempt passes these two committees,

hunter biden runs away. hunter biden did not come when we subpoenaed him.e did not follow the law and one of our colleagues he obeyed his subpoena by going and reserving a press conference for him on his behalf, helped him evade the subpoena. helped hunter biden break the law. let's talk about his own father's words. president joe biden said in october 2021 that individuals who defies subpoenas from the january 6 house select committee should be prosecuted the justice department indicted steve bannon for doing so in november 2021. hunter biden's a father, the president of the united states said that he should be prosecuted anyone who defies a subpoena should be prosecuted. hunter biden did not show up for his subpoena hunter biden showed up today to make a clown show of himself to show he is nothing but someone who will not obey the law that wants to show up when he wants to and says here with a smug look on his face and runs away when it is my turn to talk. not only is he is a criminal but he is a coward. nothing but a coward. let's talk about voting for t

remember the plan a was ton charge hunter. then the whistle blowers came out and they had no choice. they went to pwhrapb b. that was the sweetheart deal. that was blown up by a judge in delaware with the wherewithal to read the agreement and ask the defense team, you have seen an agreement like this before? no, your honor. why are you handing this to me? this has resulted in a special council. the same guy that didn't want to charges hunter in the first place. the federal government is 0 so bias and corrupt it should make every american sick. this is what we talk about with the doj being weaponized and politicalized. as hunter biden faces felony charges skipping out on over a million dollars in taxes. his father bragged about making americans "pay their fare share." as of today the irs has collected over 500 million of unpaid taxes from 1600 millionaires this. is about the super wealthy needing to pay what they owe and twha the existing tax code calls for just like hard working americans do. will he give that election tour to

joe biden was, quote, aware of hunter's business, he met with hunter's business partners.that all members of this committee oppose this misguided amendment and i ask to submit to the record devin archer's interview where he says one democratic claim about the biden business categorically false and that was what i just mentioned with respect to joe's involvement, knowledge in businesses. >> without objection, so ordered. now the minority party and chair recognizes -- >> thank you, mr. chairman. i quickly want to clarify that when i mentioned that the majority had run to the press and misrepresented what happened in that interview yesterday, the point was that they misrepresented what happened in the interview and i know that for a fact because somebody shared with me the text message that the republican staff sent around all the and i also heard directly from the press. >> thank you very much. fascinated by this exchange because most committees i've been on when the transcripts are released it serves the vital function of transparency but al#v■!sops people from misrepresent

was it to save, a, joe biden, hunter biden, hunter biden crashed the house oversight committee hearing. and they were considering contempt of congress charges against hunter biden. so he didn't want to show up for a subpoena but he wanted this circus. he wanted the cameras. make no mistake about it. democrats knew it was coming. secret service was in place over an hour ahead of all of the stunt that went on in that hearing room. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." it was a crazy move. hunter biden walking in unannounced to an oversight committee hearing about him. the committee had just begun considering legislation to hold hunter in contempt of congress for defying a congressional subpoena. a taste of how wild it got. >> my first question is who bribed hunter biden to be here today? that's my first question. second question, you are the epitome of white privilege coming into the oversight committee, spitting in our face, ignoring a congressional subpoena to be deposed. what are you afraid of? you have no balls to come up here and -- >> point of inquiry. >> mr. cha

fairly stoic hunter biden.s a much more somber, much more serious proceeding than we witnessed on capitol hill yesterday. hunter biden walked in to the courtroom alongside his lawyer, abbe lowell. dressed in a dark blue suit. he was red then the actual crimes that he is accused of, the nine tax-related counts against him. he exchanged some whispers with abbe lowell and then he was asked how he pleaded to those nine separate counts. he said in a firm voice, not guilty. he looked as relaxed as a man possibly can be when facing such serious charges. a conversation with abbe lowell here around there. a couple of smiles. i had went on, i would say, about40 minutes or so the entire proceeding. and hunter biden then stood as the judge left and left the room himself along with abbe lowell. there was some discussion whether he completed the post hearing processing. abbe lowell thought he had. the judge and the clerk informed him that he may have to do a little more exit processing with the u.s. marshall service. he shou

byron donalds, congressman on hunter's democratic privilege. >> this isn't about hunter biden's white privilege, but hunter biden's democrat privilege. donald trump, jr. showed up for five subpoenas. he has the gall to show up and the democrats say hey, he wants to speak, he leaves. >> sandra: comparison. >> kerri: this is the problem, a message a bad one for the country. rules for me but not for thee when it comes to taxes, to guns, apparently prostitutes, when it comes to a whole congressional subpoenas, when it comes to the president's son, it doesn't, the law or the rules don't apply to him. he would say that is not true, they were not going to prosecute him but public outcry and now doj is pursuing him and he says it's politically motivated. as andy pointed out, it tends to go if there is a d or r after the name, there goes the law and the application of the law and that's not how it's supposed to be. >> john: speaking of a d and r, accidentally a d after byron donalds name, obviously a d in the beginning of the last name but should be an r after it. call for number 5, nancy mace

hunter biden's lawyer has not engaged with the committee regarding hunter biden. the chair recognizes -- >> did you respond to the lawyers offer to cooperate with the committee and meet with the committee? >> chair recognizes mr. wallace. >> thank you mr. chairman. this is an incredible first hearing. >> welcome to the oversight committee. >> this is entirely predictable. i think what we are going to hear and see today. we saw that hunter came and staged a pr stunt with my friend from florida. that was clearly organized and recognized. what i'm hearing from the ranking member and his colleague that claim transcripts are subject to partisan and twisted leaks and distortions is incredibly rich. let's talk about calling the kettle black first. the country suffered through an entire impeachment proceeding of a president of the united states because of a. ca -- a false dossier where every hearing and transcript started with this is an unclassified proceeding and then to have it selectively leak and lied to to the american people to the great damage of this nation. and

hunter money.according to testimony from the new york art dealer, hunter knew about the sugar brother buying up his art despite those promises from the white house that the patrons will, quote, "be kept confidential, from even hunter himself in an attempt to avoid ethical issues that could arise as a presidential family member tries to sell a product with a highly subjective value. according to the art dealer, he never even worked with the white house on any such ethics packed. the white house straight up flat out lied once again. died in and the family got rich. sounds a little familiar. according to the first lady jill biden hunter is just a poor, helpless victim. take a look. >> i think what they are doing to hunter is cruel. and i am really proud of how hunter has rebuilt his life after addiction. i love my son and it has hurt my grandchildren. that's what i'm so concerned about, that it's affecting their lives as well. >> well, no offense, first lady. if you want this to go away, maybe you can

hunter biden is going through a judicial process right now.ously, he's going through a serious process and he will deal with that as a civilian but at the end of the day this is about what president biden, what he's doing, and his vision for the country and this is all a political sham to essentially hurt president biden and try to reelect donald trump. and they have in fact said as much, marjorie taylor greene has said as much, we've got to be honest about what's actually happening today. and what the american public wants is transparency. what's more transparent than having hunter biden actually ask questions in front and answering questions of both republicans and democrats. >> to that point, republicans are pointing to these messages allegedly sent by hunter biden about chinese businesses and he mentioned specifically in an email, a 10% cut for the big guy. do you believe the big guy is joe biden, shouldn't that be investigated? >> first of all, the judicial process moving forward, absolutely not. let's be clear once again, republicans hav

i don't know hunter biden.millions of people that watch fox, people have children, siblings, parents that have personal problems whether they're drugs or money. i would like to think that people can see what is happening here in those terms first except that hunter biden and president biden have to do it on the public stage. i think the idea that this is anyway benefitting the president is far-fetched. i think this is killing them. his parents to see what's going on. he in no way is getting special treatment. to get back to your points about the hearing. you know, congressman fallon was being disingenuous not just about the trafficking issue. hunter biden's lawyer, abbe lowell who i interacted with including on this particular issue is that they in writing told the committee that hunter would testify in public. the second time they did it was at a public press conference on the hill. yesterday was the third time. you have to ask yourself, why don't they want hunter biden in public? it's simple. they love yellin

spin hunter won. only idiots think hunter wants to answer questions. they are going to force republicans to fast track impea impeachment. if trump wins election, biden will part his son during a lame duck. if he wins, the effect this will have on american season and judicial system. only invigorate american populism. let's bring in south carolina nancy may. congressman, why didn't you say game on. here is a glass of water, let's do the interview now. >> if you saw how many times democrats interrupted me. none of the facts i was throwing out there to hunter biden. i was the on republican to take him head on he fled as soon as it was over, less than 10 minutes. can you imagine, jesse, if this was one of your million s of viewers defied congressional subpoena and walked out, you would be held in contempt and thrown in jail. if your last night is biden completely different standard. trump and trump family, they showed up. don jr. showed up how many times to congressional subpoena. dozens of hours. donald

hunter biden appeared on the grounds of the u.s. capital without taking any questions from the media. the investigation has produced evidence that president biden knew of, and participated in his family's cashing in on the biden name. based on witness testimony, joe biden was the brand by his family sold around the world to enrich the biden family. they ranked in over $24 million from 2014 to 2019 from countries like china, russia, romania, and has extent. when his testimony confirms that president biden met, spoke by phone, dined and had coffee with his family's former business associate. president biden has laid -- lied to speaking with his sons associates. we have found money from public schemes in joe biden's personal bank account. we plan to question hunter biden about this evidence during the deposition but he defied two lawful subpoenas. the willful refusal to comply with subpoenas is a criminal act. eight constitutes contempt of congress and warrants referral to the attorney's office for prosecution as described by the law.

hunter biden, that is, this is all happening publicly, hunter biden doesn’t bother, he takes them byut of the kindness of his heart, and leads straight to the office to vice president biden. documents about this meeting later emerge, this is the testimony of one of the witnesses who was present at this meeting. and it’s interesting that in this milano cafe there is another character about whom we will talk today, a certain devan archer, exactly him. then we will remember him in the company of burisma, it was he, together with the hunter in ukraine , who, having nothing to do with the oil or gas sector, would suddenly find himself on the board of directors, but generally speaking, the very story of burisma, for which they will still be judged hunter biden, and which is the reason that the elder biden is now being accused of impeachment, began back in 2002. and you won’t believe it, in the state of de lover, where, in fact, joe biden was a senator from for many years. hold that thought, a few minutes after the short commercial, we will continue to unravel this mysterious tangle. thank

hunter just had to know. same your gallery that apparently attended our wedding at the white house for hunter's daughter and got a personal phone call from the big guy, joey, himself. meanwhile hunter's legal woes are only mounting. in the recent court filing the department of justice now says that while the fbi was collecting evidence for the gun case against hunter when they found cocaine residue inside his leather gun pouch. maybe revisit the cocaine in the white house. anyway, keep in mind the gun is then held as evidence since 2018. back when hunter swore on gun purchased for him he was not instructed to drugs. here, investigative reporter john solomon. we've got a lot of news to get to. >> listen. let's start with the present because at the end the day the impeachment inquiry, chairman comber and german jordan are running, it's about the president's conduct and we were told in 2021 as you showed. don't worry about the art sales saying we've got it covered. there is an ethics deal. everyone is blinded. t

they say hunter got special privilege. those congress folks got special privilege by defying a subpoena and never being held in contempt. if that amendment passes, i'll vote for it. we'll be showing the american people we'll handle both sides the same way. i guarantee you, i predict the future, not a single one of my republican colleagues will vote for that amendment. in fact, they will probably call a procedural rule and not even allow the vote on that amendment. >> so what comes next in all of this? and what is your message to your colleagues across the aisle? >> well, my message to my colleagues across the aisle is if you want to hear from hunter, and you have all sorts of questions for hunter, let him come and do that at a public hearing in front of the american people. what are they afraid of? why are they so afraid to keep the american people out of this conversation? the chairman invited him to do that. he accepted the chairman's invitation. that's not special privilege. if the chairman -- you know, wants to take ba

who wants to hear from hunter?— hear from hunter? let's 'ust question fl hear from hunter?ter? let'sjust question him now, argued . question him now, argued democrats, who enthusiastically joined the beligerent grand standing. joined the beligerent grand standinu. . , joined the beligerent grand standin. . , . , , standing. excuse me, apparently ou're standing. excuse me, apparently you're afraid _ standing. excuse me, apparently you're afraid of _ standing. excuse me, apparently you're afraid of my _ standing. excuse me, apparently you're afraid of my words. - you're afraid of my words. hunter leaving the hearing, infuriated some members, even more than his dramatic arrival. i think it's clear and obvious for everyone watching this hearing today that hunter biden is terrified of strong conservative republican women. his realfear, says the president's son, is that any testimony given behind closed doors would be selectively leaked by political opponents of his father. the leaked by political opponents of his father.— of his father. the republican chairs today _ of his fathe

we had not seen hunter hrnt t-- hunter biden the last couple of years, now he's more visible. a clear shift in strategy. >> the white house was never going to forcefully or publicly support him or defend him. you know, the president and his aides will say, look, that he loves his son and supports his son. but they're not going to be out there trying to counteract everything that the republicans are doing. they want to show that there is a separation from the justice department and from them. and i think that there was a lot of frustration from hunter biden and those helping him and his lawyers because they -- they realize that the white house and that democrats were never going to provide a support system for him. so that's why i think what led to the shift because if no one else was going to go out there and publicly defend him, he needed to publicly defend himself and counteracts everything that republicans are saying. >> before you jump in, tia, i want to go to the white house quickly to try to get the reaction from the president or his team if there is any. as we know, hun

democrats called the surprise appearance brave and proof that hunter has nothing to hide. >> hunter bidenhould be arrested right here right now, go straight to jail. >> what is hunter biden so afraid of? why can't you show up for a congressional deposition? you're here for a political stunt. this is just a pr stunt to you. >> he is here. doesn't seem to be too afraid. the chairman said the witness can choose whether to come to a deposition or to a public hearing in front of the committee. >> reporter: hunter has now been to capitol hill twice since he has been under congressional subpoena, to this day he has not taken any lawmaker questions but he did talk to me. mr. biden, why did you put your dad on speakerphone with your business partners if he had no involvement. >> your dad when he calls you, you answer the phone. >> reporter: yes. why did you need to talk to him during business meetings if you had nothing to do with his business? larry that was quite the bombshell we got out of hunter biden today. he admitted he did have his dad on the phone at some of these business meetings, ackno

biden has nothing to hide. >> hunter biden should be arrested right now. >> what is hunter biden afraid of, why can't you show up for a comal deposition, you are here for a political stunt, this a pr stunt. >> here does not seem to be too afraid, chairman said, the witness can choose whether t to come to a deposition or a public hearing in front of the committee. reporter: hunter biden has been to capitol hill twice, since he has been under congressional soupina, on this day he has not taking any lawmaker questions but he did talk to me. >> mr. biden, why did you put your dad on speaker phone with your business partners -- >> do you have a dad? does he call you. >> yes. >> you answer the phone. >> yes. >> but why did you need to talk to him during business meetings if he had nothing to do with your business. >> that was quite the bombshell, he admitted he had his dad on the phone at some of the business meetings and also, acknowledged that sometimes it was his dad calling in. larry. larry: that is a great point. is that the first time third bidens have acknowledged the phone calls? >> t

let's take a vote and hear from hunter biden. >> i'm speaking. are women allowed to speak here -- >> hold on. hold on. order. order. order. >> are women allowed to speak in here or no? you keep interrupting me. >> order. >> so clearly some fireworks there at the start of the hearing which is still going on. republicans making the argument that this is just a political stunt and a distraction from hunter biden and that he has not complied with the terms of their subpoena. but democrats meanwhile pointing out that hunter biden was right there in the audience, and if they wanted to hear from him he could have testified under oath in a public setting which hunter biden has said he was willing to do. democrats also made the point during the hearing that there have been several republicans who are defied congressional subpoenas including last year when the january 6th select committee wanted to hear from a number of house republican lawmakers. so there was a contentious back and forth. but that hearing is still going on. we're expecting to last a quite

remember weiss original plann ls was not to charge hunter. and then, of course, the whistleblowers came ou t. >> he had no choice. the so they went to plan b. that was a sweetheart deal. well, that got blown up by ade judge in delaware that actually halad wherewithal to readgreeme the agreemenntt and asked the defense team, have you ever seen an agreement like this before? t no, your honor. then why are you handing this to me? and that is now resulted in a special counsel. but it's still same guyt that didn't want to charge hunter in the first place. the federadi l government is so deeply biased and corrupt, it should make every american sick. this is what we talked when we talk about whether or not the doj has been weaponized d in the fbi.e weaponized and politicized ch hunter biden now faces felony charges for skipping outp on over $1,000,000 in taxes that his father bragged about making pay their fairay share. quote unquote, as of. today, the irs has collected over 500 million in unpaid taxes from 1600 millionaire heirs using resources for

who wants to hear from hunter right now today? anyone? come on. who wants to hear from hunter? no one. >> mr. biden doesn't make the rules, we make the rules. >> mr. chairman, you make the rules, and the rule you made is that he can choose. >> excuse me, hunter, apparently you're afraid of my words. >> it was messy, and shouty, and not exactly easy to follow, so let us bring in our reporters to explain the context and what the gop does now. nbc's sahil kapur is on capitol hill. also with us is jacqueline alemany, "washington post" congressional investigative reporter and msnbc contributor, and robert gibbs, former white house press secretary under president obama and msnbc political analyst. sahil, explain the context here. why was it such a surprise and why did it throw things so out of kilter when hunter biden showed up. >> reporter: what hunter biden was attempting to convey here is he's not hiding from republicans, he's not refusing to testify as part of the investigation, he's happy to do so under oath. he's adamant he do so publicly in the light of day, and not behind clo

the hunter laptop. we've seen it in the weaponization of government lai and, jesse, you laid it out. o the design of the very well.uttn g the one thing i would sayt, te in addition to that is the legal issues are, a trap for the former president. i sat here with you last, april, right after the bogus brag indictment, right before trump spoke at mar a lago. and i said, you know, trump needs to says abou they're trying to make this about me, but it's about you, the american people at the timue ,about the six christians who were killed in nashville. and tonight is an opportunitnasy for trump to do that, because what joe biden has done, he's weaponize joe bidd that vey phrase, his very negative valley forge speech, which was noweapont it was very backwardis looking. but he said this line, he said trump's campaign is about him, mine, and kamala is abouant. we know that is not true. however, that is what the legal issues are designed to do, to admire him and himself and distract from the issues which he wins

look, hunter biden is... is charged _ on at the white house. look, hunter biden is... on at the white house. look, hunter biden is... is charged with very, - biden is... is charged with very, very serious crimes, as your correspondent pointed out. if he is convicted, and by the way we should bearin convicted, and by the way we should bear in mind that he was indicted by his own father's justice department, then he is in serious, serious trouble. but what the republicans are attempting to do in the really embarrassing committee hearing has it on full display, what they are attempting to do is to equate hunter biden with president trump. and hunter biden never held elective office. hunter biden never served in his father's white house. the offences that he is accused of by the way, happened when trump was president, not biden. so they really have very little to hang around present biden�*s net, but they are hoping to create enough smoke, enough accusations, enough heat to blur that important distinction. yeah, and in an election year there's a huge media battle of wills

there is no one being cruel to hunter.dy jill's being cruel to joe for making this guy run for president again. joe has been cruel to his son for making his addict go around the world instead of go to rehab. and hunter's being cruel to his family and his children for raiding their college funds for cocaine. this story is upside down, backwards, whatever you want to call it. i can't wait for trump's president so i can play the gotcha game. >> dana: and this trial happening just a couple weeks before the dnc convention, do you think that's a liability for president biden? >> harold: i'm sure the president doesn't want the trial to take place and i think the judge may be right, there might be some sort of plea agreement in the background. but let me step back, slightly different point of view. >> greg: wait a second. are you glad to be back >> harold: i am glad to be back you said you didn't want me to say that every time so i stopped saying it. my opinion is this, when i hear president trump in his trial and i hear him defen

we began with hunter biden instead of border because hunter biden showed up.ing news. we knew earlier this week, former president donald trump had planned to deliver closing arguments at his civil fraud trial and now according to sources from associated press, a judge rescinded him to be able to give closing arguments at his own trial. we don't have reaction or detail than that. just simply the idea of a former president giving his own closing argument, something you know trump was ready to do has been rescinded. we'll get a quick response. >> raymond: i was sure trump would throw this out, it would be the president testifying with no cross-examination, the judge probably said let attorneys do this. >> harris: fairness to who? >> raymond: the judge has to be impartial and you can't let somebody testify without questioning, after his lawyers did the closing. >> harris: i see. is this different or similar to somebody saying they want to represent themselves in court in >> emily: it takes place at different time, reporting yourself is different timing than having

jill suddenly loves hunter.elieve he called her they see where the m but i see it doesn't stand for conservative. if she thinks it's cruel they are showing hunter biden's jug -- i'm sorry, he's the one who put his balls on blast. he's the one who gave his a starring role in countless movies. we didn't ask for it, believe me. nobody wanted to see it, as for these being vulnerable moments, we should all be so vulnerable to be sitting around doing drugs and having -- give me a break! there's nothing vulnerable about him. joe and jill should be happy of the media was able to suppress the story long enough so that he could be president. go back to something i've said before and i've got to repeat it, if any trump member of a family did 1% of this, they would be in gitmo. you look at the money laun laundering, influence peddling come of the cover-up by the white house which i will get to from the p tape to foreign collusion, all the stuff they wanted for trump is right here. but if hunter biden turned out to be a mass
