so do you see this as more political conflicts in the hunter biden case. as former colleague of hunter biden at that law firm to lead the office of special council. i mean, this is the same office congress called onto investigate whistle blower allegations that political -- politicized officials at doj are retaliating against them for blowing the whistle on early intervention program justice for the hunter biden investigation. what do you make on all this? >> liz, i don't think they've been sensitive to the beginning for conflicts of interest. david weiss running the hunter biden investigation is a high ranking official of the biden justice department. he was appointed or labeled, i would say, by the attorney general as a special council, it was in complete violation of the rules. you're supposed to bring a special council in from outside the government. the thing that makes a special council special is that you're supposed to be insulated from a conflict of interest that prevents the justice department from investigating in the normal course. so if they do

because the corruption and the crimes against hunter biden and i think the biden family are piling upgated in 2024. there is no question that joe biden's main problem with the bulls right now in the public are his age, acuity, agility, and ability. all of this i believe is a the reason he can't get an approval over disapproval on any major issue, let alone any of these personal attributes is because people see all of this about th biden family unfolding. they know what they see, but they wonder what they can't see what's being hidden, what's being covered up for it in the case of hunter biden and his father, the apple is still affixed to the tree, there is a criminal defendant, hunter biden . >> it is, in this sad part is, this is a low hanging fruit. nothing about prostitution, nothing about the drug issues, nothing about romania, russia, china, kazakhstan, ukraine,. >> not yet. >> and five years they haven't found that part. >> not yet. >> great to see you. unfortunately that's all the time we have left this evening, programming notes, we have a live audience shows in new york city

powerful or powerless, other one rule, follow the facts and the law. >> john: looking at how the hunter bidene was originally handled, though, it's very difficult to take what garland said at face value. >> that's right. the irony is now hunter and his team are accusing doj of politicizing his process. so, yes, he started off with the deal that i think many people think he never should have gotten, given the sweeping protection he would have enjoyed from further prosecution, but now here we are, he's been indicted, it's possible he'll be indicted again on other charges and so his defense attorneys are now making arguments that the right frequently makes which is one, the politicizing of doj and two, that certain gun laws are unconstitutional and his attorney indicated that that is what they will be arguing in the future. >> john: a big argument, whether or not david weiss had the authority to bring charges against hunter biden. gary shapley, one of the irs investigators, claimed that the u.s. attorney for the district of columbia, matthew graves, refused to partner with weiss to bring charges

. >>> developments in that courtroom, and now, hunter biden has plead not guilty to three gun charges. we will tell you what happened inside of that courtroom. >>> and now, kevin mccarthy is on the brink of costing him a vote for his speakership. what is going to happen there. with john berman and sara sidner, i'm kate bolduan. this is cnn "news central." >>> it is chaos on capitol hill right now, and in a special kind of chaos this time. house lawmaker are getting set and ready to vote on whether or not to oust kevin mccarthy as speaker at some point to today or if he is going to be able to narrowly avoid that fate. he is facing a small, but determined revolt amongst his own party led by republican congressman matt gaetz. here is mccarthy last hour. >> if you throw a speaker out that has 99% of their conference, that kept government open and paid the troops, i think that we are in a really bad place for how we are going to run congress. >> while this chaos plays out, it is really basically paralyzed on the house side. we have team coverage on capitol hill hill, and cnn's manu raju an

and fbi and other folks but denies federal government, they were protecting hunter biden to joe bidenally asked? probably not but they were doing it on their behalf, they didn't want anybody with a lasting biden prosecutor. >> scott grady was top federal prosecutor in pittsburgh responsible for probing hunter biden's work in ukraine where he doesn't have experience at all but got paid nearly $1 billion, brady testifies the biden ukraine bribery allegations, they wanted for the investigation the fbi and u.s. attorney office and tell her but by david weiss who's not special counsel on hunter biden, he and david weiss stonewalled and blocked his probe and one way they were doing it was saying you got a right to us in writing your questions, they got at least 17 different people and fbi headquarters to sign off on what they were doing. brady testified that never seen this before in his career, the way they were stonewalling. >> stonewalling and blocking and putting fd 1023 and a subfile so only the agent took the information have full access to it, it's clearly -- my mom said a long time
