wires $423,000 to hunter biden. the very next day, he buys a porsche. then soon after when you think he has dinner with? vice president joe biden. macola, the cfo of charisma, the ambassador to ukraine, calls him a poster child of corruption. they paid them a total of $3.3 million. who do you think that he had dinner with? sit with me all at once. here's a pattern. you have crooked fowlers. and then you have dinner with joe. and he's one of an expensive dinner date. >> offense on selling political access, what is? my democratic colleagues report ad nausea. there is no evidence linking him to his crimes? really? this is fd 1023 which is used by the fbi one confidential informants give them information. this source is described as something that is very trustworthy. they paid him over $100,000 over a decade. this is gold. consider this weight and gravity. i do not know what the name is so i will call him ivan. that is not his real name but he decides that in a confidential conversation that they hired someone from his father from all kinds of problems. and

told in 2016 that hunter biden was brought onto the board to protect. three, big fact, hunter and joe biden both told him he should keep under biden on the board. of course he received $1 million per year. after the elections he said the cost $5 million to pay one billing biden and 59 dollars to another. meeting joe biden. he didn't send any funds directly to the big guy. i wonder what that means? we talked about that a lot today. because according to him it would take investigators 10 years to find the records of payments to the bidens. if these allegations are true, and there is a reason why it was so hard to put together, this was done deliberately and on purpose. we are here months later to finally get this document released to the public. what in your eyes is the most serious allegation outlined in the fd 1023? >> first of all, i'm not someone who puts a great deal of emphasis on these types of field reports from sources. but this was not just any source. this was a source that was not just trusted, received considerable amount of money from the fbi

to examine hunter biden's abandoned laptop. on november of 2019 the fbi had confirmed that the device and -- devices were hunters. but the investigation must not be viewed in isolation, rather part of a broad landscape of corruption. don't forget that a full year after that, in october of 2020, fbi officials were telling twitter that the laptop was russian disinformation. the whistleblowers tell us that the tax investigation of hunter biden was an offshoot of an investigation already underway into an online pornography platform. that is how investigations develop. agents follow wherever the leads take them. and when they take them in the direction of a new investigation, they open one. question, if u.s. attorney weiss had been in charge of that pornography investigation would he have locked the investigation into hunter biden's tax crime? >> thank you. mr. connor, mr. dubinsky? >> good morning, chairman comber and ranking member raskin's, distinguished members of this committee and my fellow citizens. thank you for this opportun

hunter biden's action was all drawn on this. this relied on president joe biden, saying that he got bribed. he would not give $1 billion to ukraine unless they got rid of the prosecutor. this is the opposite of the truth. he is a key player in the obama administration. they were trying to combat corruption in ukraine. they have a coordinated global effort. president joe biden, called for their removal. this was a corrupt general. this was other than them participating in it. rather than assist british authorities who are actually investigating the owner. they consistently frustrated their efforts. the leadership efforts were brought in part by partisan campaigns. this was early 2016. the road to the ukrainian president. they have failing corruptions in the country. they were trying to press ahead with urgent reforms to the prosecutor generals office. this is part of 2018. donald trump, saul president joe biden, has a strong rival. they were twisting it all around. the accused president joe biden of corruption, and calling for the

including subpoenas to hunter biden james biden and their business partner rob walker.r broke news exclusively on this program last week that his committee wants members of the biden family to explain among other questions why two personal checks written by james and sarah biden to joe biden totaling $240,000 were listed as loan repayment when, in fact, the money came from overseas sources. >> i don't think average person can imagine how many different checking accounts president son had and considering he didn't have a legitimate business that in itself is an enormous red flag so once all of those come in, i think you're going to see swift action on biden's and i would predict somewhere around two dozen subpoenas in the very near future. >> in a statement to fox news, hunter biden attorney abby said in part hunter eager to have at the public forum at right time to discuss matters with the committee joining me right now with more is ted cruz shift on both senate foreign relations and judiciary committees senator cruz has a new book titled unwoke and it is available righ

all we hear is hunter biden, and oh, hunter biden is afraid to talk.now it's comer and his gang that are running for the hills. and their coon hats and holding a shotgun in their hands -- >> yeah, everything they have done, they have done poorly. everything they have done, it has led to more infighting among the republicans, and hunter biden faces charges separate to what the republicans are investigating. it has been one colossal embarrassment after another. and hunter biden says yeah, i will come, come in public, but i will not let you shape my words but i want everybody to hear my account by myself, and then the other question is why is comer doing an about face? they tried to humiliate hillary clinton in the hearing about benghazi, and there are some republicans that are fearful, and they made hunter biden such a bogeyman, and they are afraid he could testify credibly and further tarnish their efforts. >> and they are going to talk more about this, but first we will turn to the prospect of more hostages being freed today from the gaza strip. it com

but comer's original subpoena for hunter biden is for a closed door transcribed interview as part of ongoing impeachment inquiry into the president. the inquiry focuses on the biden family's business dealings. local chastised comer and his republican colleagues writing your fishing expedition has become captain ahab chasing the great while whale. comer fired back writing hunter biden is trying to play by his own rules instead of following the rules required of everyone else. that won't stand with house republicans. our lawfully issued subpoena to hunter biden requires him to appear for a deposition on december 13th. comer ads hunter biden should be able to testify in public at a future date in addition to the closed door testimony. hunter's lawyers say he will only appear in public. no negotiation. >> from their perspective, they want to have a chance to tell their side of the story. they, for better or for worse, want to have hunter biden to kind of have his public day in court as it were. and look in the camera and explain, you know, why he didn't do anything wrong or why his father

morris paid of hunter biden tax penalty said a loan, really? ow just in first few months of the presidential election 2020? was it to protect joe biden? >> was it a -- was it a campaign? you know was it a way to help campaign there is a lot of things to look at, it is interesting as a web continues to flow within the biden family >> what are the priorities away from this congressman senate is gearing up for showdown over the president 106-billion-dollar foreign aid proposal republicans pushing to add stricter border security measures new rules in place at the border i don't know why you all talk about sending money to the border i didn't think money was needed there instead real really policy changes >> money is not needed at the border it is real policy changes whether "remain in mexico", title 42 , "catch and release" have to be addressed to fix border we've seen more than 6.4 million illegals cross southern border since joe biden became president more than entire population of my home state missouri, that is unacceptable but we need those str

this isn't about hunter biden.his is an investigation by congress of joe biden for potential corruption. hu hunt erer biden is a key witnesn our investigation of joe biden. we know the biden family has received millions and millions of dollars from our enemies around the world. we don't know what they did to receive the money. we don't know a lot of things about how the bidens have been able to afford such a lavish lifestyle when we really don't know what they do for a living other than hunter became an artist when joe biden became president. >> we do know that hunter admitted himself that he had no experience in energy, oil, gas in ukraine. yet, he was dealing with bar is ma and his father took actions and withheld $1 billion and leveraged that to get an investigative prosecutor fired. in six hours, the guy was gone. the investigation was over. hunter got paid and this was five days after you have been able to chronicle a phone call that came from hunter from dubai with barrise ma executives. is that correct, sir?

what happens now, will hunter biden have to testify privately?— biden have to testify rivatel ?w two da , privately? that was what we saw two day. him _ privately? that was what we saw two day. him trying _ privately? that was what we saw two day, him trying to _ privately? that was what we saw two day, him trying to get - privately? that was what we saw two day, him trying to get out i two day, him trying to get out of that and offering to do that in person. his lawyers have not yet said whether they plan to do this privately position, thatis do this privately position, that is what chairman, wanted to happen originally, he then did not respond to what chairman koeman said 0nyx today about calling or a private meeting between hunter biden and the committee about his business dealings and i should be clear hunter biden as you are talking about here. this is the latest escalation between hunter biden and his lawyers as well as the committee investigation into his business dealings, this is major considering leading up to this they had subpoenaed him and asked to speak with them p

is there just risk for hunter biden in either case?i don't think so because hunter biden would tell you everything has already been taken from him. he appears in news by way of scandal every day in conservative media, the "new york post," fox news to elsewhere. i think he's used to it. i don't think he enjoys it. there's probably up side. i mean, the agenda of republicans around hunter biden has never really been about the truth. it's been about politics, and the politics of hunter biden for republicans have been going the wrong way for about six months now as their theory of the case has started to unravel. i think hunter biden is saying, great, let's put the politics out in the open and all of this. let's have a conversation around the truth. everything about me, hunter biden is already known, and i think that's the most important legal point here. for five years, he was under investigation by the department of justice. there's not anything house republicans will find the doj didn't have and if there's any legal tactic at all in this

the first of the biden family subpoena come down as oversight committee james comer first son hunter biden brother to the president jim biden and biden family associate robert walker. as he told me he would on su sunday. >> we have followed the money and subpoenaed bank accounts and now we have enough bank accounts where we can trace the money and with a series of transactions is called money laundering and this is a very organized criminal enterprise by the biden family. >> i think the subpoenas are animate and it's going to be a big week and i would predict two dozen subpoenas in the very near future. maria: coming up breaking down what this means for the house investigation to the biden family influence peddling and biden's impeachment inquiry. markets look like this look at futures and mixed opening jay powell says central bank forecasters need to remain flexible with their prediction during the uncertain economic view. they're down duster, the nasdaq and s&p 500 higher by a fraction this morning. were talking about disney's quarterly earnings, we will preview retail coming up next wee

witnesses have been subpoenaed to provide testimony and documents for the investigation into hunter biden's personal finances. one of the individuals that has received one of these subpoenas is his uncle, james biden. this is hunter biden's one-time business associate who could provide information that may be relevant to this investigation. at this point, it appears that they are focused on hunter biden's alleged failure to pay his taxes. now, this was something that was supposed to be resolved by a plea deal that fell apart earlier this year, and at this point it's unclear if they're investigating anything beyond that. some of the alleged tax offenses occurred in southern california, which is why this inquiry, previously not been reported, is significant and signals that the special counsel, david weiss, may be considering bringing additional charges against hunter biden. the special conhas already brought gun charges in delaware, and previously used a grand jury in that state to gather evidence, but the fact they're using this grand jury this california is certainly notable. it signals th

so democrats are siding with hunter biden. the question is, what's next? >> all right. ks. >>> as hamas releases a new set of hostages today, what the biden administration is telling israel ahead of the pause in fighting possibly ending, and the next phase of the war recommencing. stay with us. first time i connected with kim, she told me that her husband had passed. and that he took care of all of the internet connected devices in the home. i told her, “i'm here to take care of you.” connecting with kim... made me reconnect with my mom. it's very important to keep loved ones close. we know that creating memories with loved ones brings so much joy to your life. a family trip to the team usa training facility. i don't know how to thank you. i'm here to thank you. >>> welcome to "the lead." i'm jake tapper. moment ago newly released israeli hostages just reached a hospital in tel aviv. among them are ten israelis and two thai nationals. they were freed today. no americans. no americans were released today as had been hoped. and those left behind include the youngest israel

to the bottom of what exactly happened at the department of justice and the irs to impede the hunter biden investigation. did joe biden use his administration to protect him from the scrutiny? second, the biden family appears to have used numerous accounts, transactions and loans to mask the flow of money. if these loans were in fact legitimate, they should be interest income. there should be interest, income reported on tax documents. was such reported? third, how did hunter and his associates move money through the many shell companies that have been identified? is there tax information that would help explain the complex web the bidens created? over the next week, the ways and means committee will take further action to pursue the truth and follow the facts, wherever they lead. we will be holding a hearing with the irs whistleblowers to discuss the investigation as well as releasing additional material that they have provided. the american people expect no less. i am pleased to recognize the great majority whip from the state of minnesota, mr. tom emmer. rep. emmer: thank you. thank you

but comer's original subpoena for hunter biden is for a closed door transcribed interview. >> hunter biden is not above the law. >> young kansas city chief's fan getting wrongly smeared as a racist wearing black face. article in dead spin only showed this photo of the boy and did not show the other half of his face. >> unbelievable that they take shots on a kid this age. >> the white house's 40-foot national christmas tree took a little bit of a tumble. >> this political cartoon shows bidenomics dragging down the u.s. economy. >> he is the definition of symbolism a presidential literally falling down just like that massive christmas tree. ♪ >> lawrence: buckle up. we begin with a fox news alert. right now a search is underway after a u.s. military aircraft with six people on board crashed on the coast of japan overnight, ainsley. >> ainsley: crashed right into the water it looks like off the coast. the japanese coast guard is reporting that one person was killed. japanese fishermen found three of the crew members. their conditions are still unknown. >> brian: officials say they have l

200,000 he got after americorps paid, 40,000 dollars happened, of course, 10% of 400,000 that hunter biden got paid from this chinese cane, so, when you look at all this, as mr. comer outlined brand they were selling not me talking not republicans talking this is devon archer saying joe biden 20 different companies multiple family members paid how money is routed through varies entities, starts to look funny when you couple all that maria, with what justice department did, frankly failed to do when investigated hunter biden, and ukraine issue all this, that is the real story here i though i that is why we're in impeachment acquire phase continue to do our work chairman smith is looking at whistleblowers good information brute forward, by the way, testimony stood up to cross-examination not waivered not changes chairman smith does that chairman comer oversight committee looking at banking records suspicious activity reporting, of course, our committee, excuse me, looking at, how the doj handled the investigation. i want to ask you about that in terms of all those shell companies that biden

that is why he wants to talk not only to hunter biden but to james biden and other biden family members. because guess what, the receipt of that money that people like james -- or thetithe ex-widow of bo getting money from china, why? what is that about, there is a lot of smoke, i think that everyone understands that there is some fire, hunter biden thinks weirdly he is a sympathetic care, he can make a public statement and talk in public and somehow he will bring the public around to thinking he was just a drug sad young man who did some things wrong but he is there to make sure that everyone understands it is okay. council memberrer has every right -- comber h comer has every right, the courts have backed it up, i believe a deposition is under oath. that is a very different thing, than hunter biden just coming in and winging it. larry: the subpoena, you may be held in cone te contis contempt of congress if down understand. but justice department has to enforce it. >> they won't. larry: deroy, liz peek wants to get rid of joe biden. >> i do. larry: she believes that this is -- a replay

hunter's finances are shady. despite making millions of dollars from the biden brand i doubt it was hunter, the biden brand, i'm sure it was pop's, hunter regularly had trouble making ends meet but in 2020, when joe became the democratic nominee, many of hunter's financial woes vanished. thanks to, of course, the generosity from wealthy democratic donors, and a name that keeps coming up is a guy by the name of kevin morris. so according to a new report, investigation by justnews.com, solomon, he details how he collected $6 million when his father began running for president. not just one person but all people that supported joe biden. they are saying much of this may have come from kevin morris. so how did hunter spent this money? a five figure monthly rent of a california home, large child support payments, some travel, many legal bills, federal and local tax debts, totaling more than $2 million. why does hunter have all these rich friends just willing to give him money? in a statement, lawyer for kevin morris, the guy whose name keeps coming up, a potential source for these claims, a campaign of harassment against

yep, you guessed it, hunter biden.rly a year since house republicans began an investigation into the finances of president biden and his family, they subpoenaed hunter biden earlier this month. probably to their surprise, hunter agreed to testify publicly instead of a closed door deposition as requested. you think this would excite house republicans who cannot seem to get through any interview without segueing to the president's son. the thought of getting the opportunity to perform their hunter biden schtick live on tv is too much to bear. perhaps because their past public hearings to provide bomb shell evidence against president biden have all been duds. james comer has to be a closed door deposition or hunter biden will face contempt charges. one of the reasons he says a public hearing is a no-go is because of the democratic members of congress of the committee. >> this will be testifying in public but not in a chaotic scene where the democrats who already demonstrated they can't conduct themselves in a mature, cred

okay. >> martha: an interesting request from hunter biden's legal team. asking a judge to sign off on records from former president donald trump, bill barr and others at the doj arguing that hunter may have been the victim of a vindictive or selective prosecution from his father's top political rival. in a moment, we'll talk to clay travis about that. first, to justice correspondent david spunt who has a back story for us. hi, david. >> this dropped on the docket late this morning. this is the criminal federal case where hunter biden is fighting the federal gun charges. according to the document, the current president's son wants to subpoena the former president, donald trump, bill barr, former deputy attorneys general richard donahue and jeffery rosen. it says mr. biden seeks specific information from three former doj officials in the former president that goes to the heart of his defense that is possibly a vindictive or selective prosecution arising from an unrelenting pressure campaign beginning in the last administration in violation of mr. biden's fif

he not only wants to talk to hunter biden but james biden and other biden family members who receivedt money, ex-widow of beau getting money from china, what is that all about? what are all the shell companies about, et cetera? there is you have a fall lot of smoke here and everyone understands indeed there is some fire. hunter thinks weirdly he is a sympathetic character. that he can make a public statement and talk in public and some how he is going to bring the public around to thinking that he was just a drug-addeled, sad young man who did some things wrong but he is really there to make sure everybody understands it's okay. comer has every right, the courts backed this up to subpoena a private person or a private enterprise and he has done that. i believe a deposition might be under oath, is that correct? i'm not sure but i think -- larry: deposition is under oath. deposition is under oath. >> that is a very different thing than hunter biden just coming in winging it for public estimate think. larry: subpoena you may be held in contempt of congress if you don't respond. >> yes. l

chairman comer issued subpoenas for hunter biden, james biden, their business associate eric sherwintonight. he will join us in a minute and explain, along with the guy who runs the gallery where hunter biden sold his, quote, art work, to a no, ma'am mus buyers who bought hunter biden's painting before getting appointed to a board by joe biden. also breaking tonight, john solomon, just the news.com, investigative reporter, editor in chief, well, he's reporting that hunter biden even misled his own accountant about his foreign income streams and is now cooperating with the irs and possibly even david weiss in the hunter tax case. here with the full report, john solomon just the news.com. joe, what have you got tonight? [cheers and applause] >> listen remember back in 2020 -- thank you. remember back in 2020 when joe biden was talking about wety people need to pay their fair share we need to make a fair tax system. at the moment he was uttering those words his son was trying to clean up and hide before the public before election day the fact that he was a tax cheat and had not paid tax

and it's one that hunter biden, interestingly, as embraced. in a number of different contexts that when they are in a fight, they rallied together. and i'm so fascinated by the timing of this announcement, staff, because it comes just days after we saw hunter biden spending days with his father during the thanksgiving holiday in nantucket. we know president biden talks to his son most days, if not every day, if not multiple times a day. and you can imagine if they were together on nantucket island for the thanksgiving holiday, the question of what the right approach would be in terms of this legal issue may have come up and may be something they consulted with each other on. >> well, even if the president stands with them, i'm not sure all the presidents advisors in the white house like this very public and potential explosive approach as we approach the 2024 election. michael memoli, and you for being here, always, my friend. >> thank, you steph. >>> when we come, back at the local news landscape has been disappearing, an important reminder o

apparently around hunter biden's business dealings. now, one of the things that's really notable here, phil and poppy, we hadn't seen before, we do know of this subpoena to james biden, the president's brother, hunter biden's uncle. the connection those two men have, hunter biden and james biden is that they have some business connections, it's possible james biden had insight into the income that hunter biden was bringing in at a time where he wasn't really paying his taxes. so putting this together, we don't know exactly what the special counsel david weiss is looking at, whether he would bring charges and what the charges might be, but the meaning of this is that he certainly is moving forward on what he indicated he would do before. which was, when the police fell apart for hunter biden he said, keep looking at tax issues and others perhaps somewhere else outside of delaware. >> how does this interact or play with the charges hunter biden's already facing in delaware? >> reporter: they could interact in a lot of different ways. name

i just think that hunter biden should not be surprised by this, abby. we are living in hyperpartisan tribes, hyper troubled times. some people may be of the belief that anything is to go, i don't agree with that politically. but, again, i think here is this guy who's the son of the president of the united states of america. i own a lot of firearms. i guarantee that by, as a black man, somehow made an error or did not put the proper information on that document, i would not have been given a sweetheart deal where the judge came in and said wait a minute here, this is not what would occur for the normal person. i can assure you that if i did not pay my taxes like wesley snipes than i had to would probably be in prison for almost three years. i don't like to use the word right privilege all the time, but this is certainly the case of white male privilege because of this guy was not white and named hunter biden i absolutely guaranteed the charges against him would be very different. he would be maybe under the prison. >> he notes in his op-ed that he didn't

the right-wing campaign against hunter biden has been going on for years, even before joe biden took office. biden's political opponents seized on his sons well-known and wild in alleged personal problems, including his struggle with addiction, as well as his foreign business dealings. a lot of people thought they were not great. in an attempt to disparage the president. they built up a whole narrative and promised that hunter was the key no brain. amidst the scrutiny hundred disclosed in the summer of 2020 that he was under investigation by justice department related to his tax affairs. a publicans than complain the doj was not charging biden until they did indict him this year on gun charges related to his drug use. to be clear, these are charges that many prosecutors and the defense lawyers who practice in the federal bars say would never be brought against someone without that last name. this is a special case. republicans were also incensed by the lack of the special counsel on the case, that is, until attorney general merrick garland appointed a special counsel in august. this

hunter biden, really? hink it is an example of the best defense, good offense, they are trying to discredit, create a distraction but hunter's chest really questions answered. the only time he answered truthfully was in court when he was asked to confirm, did you get money from china? he said yes contradicting his father. the influence peddling. i am of the view joe biden didn't get done, this was corruption enabled and i think we still have a lot of ques questions. >> there dissembling. house gop leaders are saying the biden family make $24 million cashing in on presidential job. you wonder what then president obama knew about all of this. involved hunter biden, subpoena james biden, there nine family members who got payment from the biden families visit overseas. we still don't know what exactly they were selling and why would joe biden's demanding payments? >> one reason we have had to wait so long as they ignore subpoenas up until now but impeachment subpoenas have greater power than regular subpoenas b

knows that hunter biden knows that beau was his favorite son anden hunter hasz all sorts of feelings about that. and these layers of guilt just make it hard for them both to navigate this issue. joe biden has a hard time telling hunter biden, no, you're taking the wrong course here. and hunter biden has this strong desire to just continually assert himself. there's this pride underneath what he's doing that he's putting himself in some ways first. >> so interesting. it really is an interesting op-ed. it surprised me when i popped up this morning. >>> stay with us. we're going to talk about more political drama coming up with one year to go until election day 2024. some stunning new poll numbers show a three-way general election race. who is the third? you're going to want to see this. don't go away. >>> a new poll shows independent candidate robert kennedy jr. gaining in a three-way race with president biden and former president trump. to help me break this down, what it means or i don't know if it means anything, our panel is back with us. so let's look at what we're tal

now issuing the subpoena just moments ago, ask for testimony from hunter biden by december 13th. he also subpoenaed one of his business partners, rob walker, who has been part of their investigation, to try to figure out if there's any proof to try to tie joe biden to hunter biden's foreign business dealings. so far, they have not come up with any proof to show that the then vice president took official action to benefit hunter biden in any way. but that has all been part of the investigation. there have been some things they have turned up to show that joe biden had some interactions with some of hunter biden's business partners, but there has also been testimony showing that those interactions had nothing to do with hunter biden's businesses. but if hunter biden were to testify, perhaps there would be maybe some evidence that would move republicans in the direction that they are now marching towards, which is a potential impeachment of this president. that's been the signal from the new speaker of the house, mike johnson, that he wants to move towards a potential impeachment, fu

a second grand jury has been called in the hunter biden special counsel investigation. could more charges be looming for the president's son? we'll talk about that, next. >>> now to some exclusive reporting. the president's son is facing another potential indictment. special counsel david weiss c convened a grand jury and subpoenaed the president's brother in the investigation into hunter biden's business dealings. appointing a grand jury may suggest that weiss is preparing to bring new charges against hunter biden, who is already facing gun possession charges back east in delaware. let's discuss with cnn senior justice correspondent evan perez and legal analyst carry kardaro. explain what sources are telling you. >> we know this is an ongoing investigation that's been ongoing for more than five years now. the special counsel is moving to get testimony, documents for a numb of witnesses, including james biden, hunter biden's uncle, brother of the president. and this is all ab his business dealings, particularly the years 2017, 2018 when hunter biden fail ed to pay his t

however, hunter biden's legal team has already rejected that offer. they say they believe that hunter biden should be able to tell his own story and they're worried about potential leaks from the committee. so we've already heard from chairman james comer. he is the head of the committee. he said he is rejecting that offer and still is insisting on that closed-door deposition. let me read part of his statement and his reasoning. "hunter biden is trying to play by his own rules instead of following the rules required of everyone else. we expect full cooperation with our subpoena for a deposition, but also agree that hunter biden should have the opportunity to testify in a public setting at a future date." republicans had hoped to wrap up their impeachment inquiry into the president as soon as possible, even though they do have yet to establish a link between the president and his son's business deals, which is a focus of their committee investigation. but this back and forth really potentially could delay their probe and is throwing into question docto

let me get your take on what's going on with the hunter biden in the biden investigation. ing to testify publicly before the house oversight committee. james comer says hunter does not get to dictate the terms of the subpoena and must appear for a closed-door deposition before a testimony. i want to get your take on what can be set on the open forum versus a closed-door, karine jean-pierre commented on this yesterday. here is a clip, watch this. >> house republicans should really focus on american families instead of the president's family. that's what americans want to see. maria: that is her answer can you walk us through why this is not going to fly hunter biden testifying and an open forum. >> because there is a huge volume of information saying the probability of the president and his family being compromised by foreign entities is greater than not so hunter biden does not get to dictate what the parameters are in jason smith will be on your program later he sharp as a cat and the getting to the bottom of this. there is a tremendous volume of information that the curre

on that deal with cefc and the bidens where joe biden was supposed to the get 10% according to hunter biden up perfectly. we traced the $40,000 check that joe biden received all the way back to that whatsapp message where hunter biden claimed his father was sitting beside him where he was shaking down the chinese operative. that's where that $40,000 was triggered. we, just a few weeks after that text message, that $40,000 landed in joe biden's pocket after the bidens laundered it. but that money came from china, putt evidence that joe biden -- further evidence that joe biden benefited from his family's influence-peddling scheme. maria: well, you have now released a lot of evidence with regard to this situation whether it be witness testimony, 176 suspicious activity reports, now these checks going directly to the joe biden. he says he never discussed business with his son, was never in business with his son. are you planning on calling hem in and getting subpoenas out? >> absolutely. we've always planned on doing that. this has been a painful process, maria. we've been obstructed, we've bee

i think it's pretty obvious that hunter biden's a pretty shady guy. i mean, i don't think he was playing for team usa. maria: this is a joe biden investigation, let's be clear. >> 100%. maria: james comer keeps saying that. the fact they say nobody is questioning democrats, how rich is that given the fact that through 2016, 2017, 2018, adam schiff was on every tv station saying trump colluded with russia and it was in plain sight. >> democrats believe it's a wish list to document. it's a legal document that demands something that has to be followed. it's not like something maybe we can, maybe we can't. they play by their own rules and don't believe the republicans should play by those rules. maria: coming up, markets are on the move ahead of a big day of economic data, october pce index comes out in an hour and-a-half. dow industrials up 177 on the dow right now. the word on wall street panel is next. stay with us. you're watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business.

abbe lowell, the attorney for hunter biden said in part unlike members of the trump family, hunter isperson and never worked in a family business or served in the white house or in any public office. to that you would say what, regarding a private citizen in a matter like this? >> well, i think i would state the obvious. a congressional subpoena is not like an invitation to a ball. you don't get to debate when you will show up and how. you have to show up. and the justice department or merrick garland has been very aggressive in pursuing trump associates for contempt. so the expectation is they would have to be consistent if hunter biden does not show up. so this is not a mutual conversation. that's the point of a subpoena. you are past that point. this is saying show up on this day and you will be asked questions and you will be expected to answer. >> bill: let's go ahead and play this out. can this interview, can this hearing, whatever you want to call it, can it be avoided by hunter biden? yes or no. >> no. if he refuses to appear, he will be committing contempt of congress. there

hunter bidens wants cameras on him to generate narrative he wants to form.is proper and right, he gets to do another one maybe on 60 minutes. >> harris: put his art behind him like a zoom wall. >> kayleigh: you are a witness, you don't set the terms. you can request, i prefer open door, it is up to the congressional committee, what hunter biden knows, i can be held in contempt of congress, biden's doj decides whether to prosecute that. do you think the doj will actually take those steps? i'll leave that for viewers to decide. the white house being frustrated, one staffer, i don't know if a rogue staffer, but karine jean-pierre stood at the podium saying, i don't comment on hunter, he is a private citizen. you can't coordinate on the dime or say -- >> harris: we'll move on. coming up liberal media outlet targets young kansas city chief fan accusing him of racism for his face paint. we're travelling all across america, talking to people about their hearts. how's the heart? i feel like it's good. how do you know? let me show you something. it looks like a credi

>> james biden, the uncle of hunter biden was at one time a business partner of hunter biden, so that's reason why prosecutors would be interested to get at least some information, perhaps some documents, and perhaps some testimony from him for what he knows about his financial dealings at that time. now, what we know is that this is an investigation looking at his business dealings, mostly at his failure to file taxes back in 2017, 2018, and what he didn't file -- or he didn't pay them on time, erin. so we know this is now the grand jury in los angeles is trying to get documents and possible testimony from a number of witnesses, and james biden is just one of them. this is an indication that the special counsel is likely to decide soon if he is going to bring charges in this case. >> why is the special counsel using a grand jury in california after bringing gun charges almost five months ago in delaware? >> well, allegedly, the tax offenses that are being investigated, erin, this is where they occurred. this is where hunter biden lives, in southern california. and so the central distri

business transactions around the biden family, specifically the president's son, hunter biden, who has many business transactions, and also foreign business connections. they have wanted to build steam in an impeachment inquiry of the sitting president, joe biden. they haven't gotten very much off the ground with that as far as facts and evidence goes. and there's even republicans in the caucus that are doubting it, but that subpoena for hunter biden is on the table. and congress has a lot of authority to call hunter biden in to testify before them whenever they have an inquiry like this. so hunter biden's lawyers are responding now and saying yes, he is willing to come and testify before your committee, but he's not going to do it behind closed doors. he will do it publicly if you want. we're willing to do it on december 15th -- i'm sorry, december 13th, the date on that subpoena, but we're going to have to see if that's exactly what happens here, if there's additional negotiations about when this testimony would take place, if it would be in a different plan than publicly, as hunter
