biden and jim biden say we're just going to do the deal. t going to be the two bidens and china. and the chinese guy with cefc, they were fine with that. we asked jim biden, they were fine. yeah, i didn't want these other guys in the deal. so it was all about a access to that family, access to that brand. that was what was at stake here and what was being peddled and what was being sold. maria: yeah. and i know, real quick, one of those chinese officials sent hunter biden a diamond. i've been told that diamonds are a very good way to hide wealth. you just give it to your, you know, children or whatever, you don't put it in the will, you don't put it on your taxes. was that the plan here, james comer? >> yeah. well, he actually got two diamonds from china, one while joe biden was vice president. so while joe biden was vice president, you know, your family's not supposed to receive gifts, maria. hunter biden got a porsche from kazahkstan stand and a diamond from china. i mean, if the american people or the democrats on the oversight committee

jim biden gave us a lot of answers. now it's a matter of our next deposition with hunter biden. we will try to figure out if in fact jim biden was telling the truth. >> hannity: let's get your take, jim skpw jordan, you were there today. >> yes, they kicked their business partners out with ccfc because of the brand. the money, business and the brand. they were willing to go into business with jim biden. jim biden with numerous failed business ventures and owed millions of dollars they are will being to go into business with jim and hunter because of joe biden. you're exactly right, through it all there were four fundamental facts that won't change. hunter biden on the board, hunter biden paid a bunch of money, second he's not qualified to be on the board. third he asked for help from the prosecutor. fourth joe biden goes over and conditions the release of a billion of american tax dollars on the pressure of hunter biden's board making a million dollars a year. that's a public action from a public official to benefit his family. then the cover up at the department of justice that

we know we've already had information where jim biden was leveraging joe biden's name. seen the dollars there in the form of loans that the biden administration, they want to say nothing to see here. now there's a report with respect to the money flow with jim biden, it was a hospital where he was trying to leverage joe biden's name. maria: americorp. >> we need to pursue the truth where it leads. we want to make sure the american people are using the service joe biden to enrich themselves. we know that, the american people know that, the democratic colleagues refuse to admit and that's our job tomorrow. maria: the politico report, the title is biden's brother used his name to promote a hospital chain called americorp and then the the company collapsed. there's a lawsuit underway. we'll be watching the testimony tomorrow. thank you, sir, chip roy joining us this morning. >> thank you, maria. maria: americans are showing support for former president trump raising money to help pay the new york civil fraud fine. tom fitt is here to weigh in on what's next. you're watching

again, there is overwhelming evidence, to confirm that jim biden was communicating back-and-forth withbobulinski about the meeting, that he had with joe biden, so there are search or eight things that jim biden said during his transcribed interview agency we speak we are going through trying to verify or whether or not his statements were in fact accurate. marie: he could have perjured himself the political article to promote a exchange collapsed jim biden played a major role in americore government accused of massive fraud says jim biden spoke of plans to get his brother equity in americore according to one skufr and install him onboard according to second isn't that same terms in the separate deal with cecf the chinese rj xan. >> yes. we have two people on record bobulinski talking about the business model, for selling the biden brand now galanis talking about the business model, for selling the biden brand, so what you have here, and you have the politico source talking about the business model for selling biden brand all three sources confirm that one way the bidens were able to ex

jim biden said hunter biden -- excuse me, joe biden never met with tony bob l bobulinski. tony bobulinski said it four four years. i don't think jim you biden was square with us through the interview. they're going through the transcript to find out what he said and where it disagrees to what we know to be you true. maria: that would be an issue if this is perjury. >> this is why this wednesday testimony of hunter biden will be so critical. what comer and jordan have done, they put together, worked closely together as they did on the interview yesterday morning on sunday morning futures to come up with the next leg. they're being very methodical and careful. gila nis, his testimony came frm prison. bobulinski has never changed his story. i wonder if joe biden if it's because he doesn't remember that he met with bobulinski. i know that's cruel to say. after what i've soon this year it's a fair question. of course jim biden is trying to be careful. knows he's in the spotlight now and he wands to make sure he doesn't, a a, lose money or b, o to jail. maria: what do you sunshin

this testimony by jim biden is highly anticipated. he's there under oath to answer truthfully the questions that he's asked about his involvement with joe biden and their businesses. andy, i want to ask you first about what happened yesterday, which is that david weiss moved to charge one of the lynchpins really in the investigation against the bidens who was a former fbi informant. they say he was closely involved with russian intelligence and had essentially discounted his testimony where he said that there were two $5 million bribes given to joe biden and to hunter biden as part of the dealings that they were involved in in ukraine. so let's talk a little bit about that move by weiss who hasn't been aggressive against the bidens but suddenly has undercut one of the main tenants of the case that republicans have built against the biden business ventures. >> yeah, i think that weiss' main job here is to protect president biden. he went a long time without charging hunter and then tried to disappear it on a sweet heart deal. he charged

have retreated on things with jim biden and other important family members and some of their associates to joe biden, the court is up. them -- they are armed. are going to do everything they can to continue this objection because they are apparently hiding something. >> sean: i would like to know when we are going to get that information. let's talk about upcoming interviews you have with james biden, joe's brother brother and with hunter biden. okay. what do you expect out of those interviews and what are you looking for? >> we have a lot of questions as you know, we have the bank records for both hunter biden and joe biden and we have a lot of questions. there are a lot of loans in there. we have already discussed them with kevin warsh of the weeks ago when we interviewed him about all the loans he gave to hunter biden. over $6 million in loans to hunter biden. you mentioned two loans to jim biden and when you were introducing me, that is a million dollars to jim biden. we have not found any loan documentation. it appears that the bidens may have been wondering through the term loan.

apparently jim biden got a check for $200,000 from his americorps association. joe biden for "loan repayment." does that indicate that joe biden got a slice of the pie or does it just simply indicate that jim biden was suddenly flush with cash and could write the check. >> it's very suggestive, and we have not heard details about this, and the politico story asked the white house can you tell us something about the loan being repaid, and they were told absolutely nothing. so just continues to be a big question mark out there. >> john: all right. we'll see if anybody can peel back the layers of this onion. great to talk with you. thanks for kicking us off this week. appreciate it. >> sandra: russian opposition leader alexei navalny barely survived one assassination attempt, and why his wife believes the same poison was used to kill him in prison. >> john: and latest example of officers under siege. a congresswoman breaks down the shocking new numbers of officers attacked on duty in new york city. e music ] one aleve works all day so i can keep working my magic. j

what jim biden said in part in his opening statement, i have had a 50 year career in a variety of business joe biden has never had any involvement or any direct or indirect financial interest in those activities, none. your colleague, congressman jason smith would not come out and say that jim biden was lying but said he didn't think he was telling the truth. what do you think? >> well, we have concerns about some of the things he said, but mostly what we got from jim biden's testimony was perspective on how what i call the money, the business, the brand, the biden brand, how it operated. and it's best i think what we learned with the deal with this chinese energy company, where hunter biden has been working to close the deal, joe biden then comes into this lunch at the four seasons, does a quick little drop by and quick little comments to the eight people from china who are part of the cefc and hunter biden and his partners, and a few weeks later that deal gets sealed and they get $3 million sent to hunter biden. a few months later, jim biden comes in. what i found interesting, jim biden

jim biden gaven gave us a lot of answers. and now it's a matter of our. next deposition with hunteren ws biden. we're going to try to figure out if if, in fact, joe bidengeo telling the truth. >> let's get your take. jim jordan, you wereur there today. >> yeah. jim biden and hunter biden kicked the rest of their business partners out of the deal with cfr becaerc, and cfc is willing to do it because of the brand. thmember brand., it's the money, the business, the brand. they were willing to go into businessto g with jim biden,bid. jim biden, who had numerous failed business ventures , ture jim biden who hugged multiple people, hundreds of thousands o of dollars. ll they're willing to go into business just with hunter, jusat jim, because of the power of the brand, the influence with joe biden that that would entail. they the chinese energy company does jo. and sean, you're exactly right. through it alle we, there are fr fundamental facts that will never change. hunter biden gets pu bidt on bod of burisma. hunter biden gets paid a bunch of money to do that. s

jim biden in the opening statement said i've had a 50 year career in a variety of business ventures. joe biden has never had any involvement or any direct or indirect financial interest in those activities, none. democrats downplayed biden's testimony in the overall impeachment probe, pointing to a court filing saying a former fbi informant was lying when he had contacts -- and had ties with russian intelligence. >> they created it at the foundation of the investigation. time for chairman comer and the republicans to fold up the circus tent and get back to work for the american people. >> one week from today, hunter biden will take request he is for his deposition under oath. a busy week here. back to you. >> aishah: david, thank you so much. >> john: former president donald trump blasting the legal cases against him as election interference. letitia james now threatening to seize his assets if he fails to pay the eye popping $355 million fine. kelly o'grady is live in new york city with more. trump is still planning to appeal this, yes? >> he is, john. and he seemed very fired up las

and the evidence that jim biden said -- listen. look, you can defend joe biden all day long. you can defend -- you can be on his legal defense team. kevin morris will probably pay your legal bills if you want >> you're not answering my question. mr. comer: i am. you don't understand what we have said over and ove over. joe biden took $200,000 directly from americorps health. >> he was a private citizen at the time of the $200,000, was he not? mr. comer: the dislrs 40,000. it's ok. doth a problem that joe biden lied about this. reporter: i'm asking what specific actions did you take as an elected public official -- mr. comer: calm down. calm down. it's ok. all right, listen. $3.5 billion from the russian oligarch. he is not listed on those sanctions and the most important issue according to joe biden in america right now is giving ukraine another blank check. there are issues in ukraine that we are investigating. and issues from the russian oligarch and the money they got from china, there is a china first america last policy. when we issue the report, many of these policy dis

. >> jim biden said joe biden never knew anything about cefc, he never met with the chairman, chairmani, who was the chairman of cefy, and that basically -- cefc, and basically joe biden never participated in any way whatsoever with these business transactions, these deals which there is so much con that districtly evidence to thay evidence to that that, that it doesn't make sense. he also a reiterated they never got money from china which is bizarre that he also had to acknowledge that he and hunter would be paid $165,000 a month from their new business partner which was cefc, the chairman of cefc, chairman ye, who jim biden himself described as a protege of ccp chairman and president of china, xi jinping. so there was a lot going on there to unpack, but it was very interesting, has been very interesting today. >> so, basically, james biden in your estimation is misleading america as the biden white house, has been misleading america? because house impeachment managers have bank records, government records showing what went on. and, by the way, didn't james biden testify that joe bide

and the evidence that jim biden said -- listen. look, you can defend joe biden all day long. you can defend -- you can be on his legal defense team. kevin morris will probably pay your legal bills if you want >> you're not answering my question. mr. comer: i am. you don't understand what we have said over and over and over. joe biden took $200,000 directly from americorps health. >> he was a private citizen at the time of the $200,000, was he not? mr. comer: the $40,000 -- >> the $200,000 check -- mr. comer: do you have a problem that joe biden lied about this. that american health -- >> i'm asking you, what specific action did you take as a public official, an elected public official -- mr. comer: with the -- calm down. calm down. it's ok. it's ok. all the angry liberals. they'll be all right. listen. he's had $3.5 million from the russian oligarch. there have been three sets of sanctions. she has not been listed on any of those sanctions. even though the most important issue according to joe biden in america right now ask giving ukraine another blank check. there are issues

jim biden saying brother joe biden a labyrinth of companies and sworn testimony from jim's former businesstners paint a completely different picture. on top of left wing outlet politico. this week reporting quote, joe biden central element of jim biden's pitch to potential partners in a deal with a hospital chain that collapsed amid a fraud scandal. to say the president's brother didn't benefit from the name would be a flat out name. lies is all democrats have. democrats looking for a quick way out. they are dusting off the old russia, russia, russia playbook. >> not only no evidence of any wrongdoing by present biden. now appears house republican majority used by russia to interfere in 2024 election on behalf of donald trump. if they continue with this investigation, they are simply doing the work of vladimir putin to help donald trump win election in november. real danger our congress is in having been held captive by donald trump now operating at the behest of russian intelligence and vladimir putin. >> you heard this all before it is the russia hoax all over again. this time after an i

on that same day there was a payment made to president biden from a personal account from jim biden. e are just questions that are going to need to be answered today by james biden. it is interesting. sometimes when they are behind the scenes you might get leaks but sometimes not complete, right? everybody is just getting out the information they think will help their side. what matters is that it is something where you have to be truthful. you are sworn to tell the truth. >> bill: a lot of members in there. judiciary and -- questions will come from republicans about payments from china and russia and ukraine and kazakhstan and romania and see how he is able to answer that or not behind closed doors. >> dana: next week hunter biden is on the hill. court cases and hill testimony. >> bill: 22 past the hour. a former top enjoy to tehran. now rob malley is back in the spotlight. he faces an investigation from the u.s. state department inspector general after suspension last june that pretty much caught a lot of people by surprise. why? rich edson has the reporting on the story from state

you have valerie biden, jim biden, hunter biden, kind of mofris of roles.ocrats keep insists that tony bobulinski is lying. his attorney said it is catagorically false to assert mr. bobulinski failed to provide evidence that biden was involved in business dealings, bobulinski's motivation will soon be available for all to see, called it false characterization and no place in debate. they sound confident that bobulinski will be debunked or his motivations exposed. >> there are a lot of receipts, text, bank accounts, millions of dollars flowing to biden family members and cnn said it was uncorroborated, there is a lot of evidence building up what the biden family was doing. the thing that is amazing to me -- >> laura: what did he get? >> corporate propagandist. >> laura: what did chinese energy giant get from hunter biden? is he an energy expert? no evidence i've seen indicate former coke head was an expert in international energy policy or investment. >> we all know -- >> laura: what did chinese get and what was china promised if anything? those are importan

they sure as heck weren't paying jim biden for his brilliant mind. now what the chinese expected of the bidens and what exactly the bidens delivered. one of the things that tony bobulinski has said in interviews in the past is the fact that joe biden was the big guy. he was going to be a 10% equity owner in a deal cefc had with the bidens. and this is very concerning because one of the few things we have bipartisan support for in congress is to block the chinese the from buying farmland, from buying interest in our energy industry, from buying interest in our manufacturers. but it occurs that's exactly what cefc was trying to do. they were trying to implement the belt and road initiative in the united states which is counter to everything that we believe in in america. so tony bobulinski has a lot of insight and we're, again, really hooking forward to this interview in a couple of days -- looking forward. maria: do you believe tony bobulinski has more recordings that he's been holding on to for a rainy day? >> i don't know, that's something we'll find

biden. he transferred $150,000 to jim sarah biden. jim and sarah biden sent a $40,000 check to joe biden.unter economies rated on the laptop about how he had to give 10 froe 10% to the big e 400,000 that went to hunter biden ended up being $40,000 in jijoe biden's checking account. maria: we have the infamous e-mail, 10% for the big guy. i want to get your take on this, fani willis and prosecutor nathan wade have been subpoenaed to testify in an upcoming misconduct hearing. willis is accused of having a romantic relationship with wade and a misusing taxpayer dollars, we have a list of trips they took. she put him in charge of taking down donald trump. your thoughts? >> what is i it with these love birds, maria? we saw it with peter strzok and lisa page with the fbi when they were carrying on and trying to take donald trump out. it appears we have the same thing going on in atlanta. but nathan wade has been paid $650,000. the fulton county district attorney's office received nearly $15 million in federal payments and you have them working with agencies in washington, d.c. and possibly the

biden is the brand. the brand that other family members including jim and hunter have used to make money. ed for an end of the impeachment probe. james biden testifies tomorrow. a week from tomorrow hunter biden will sit down and answer questions from republicans and democrats who were supposed to come in and talk and answer a subpoena in december, but it was pushed back after he showed up on capitol hill. of course, we'll get transcripts from james biden and hunter biden's question and answer session and it's possible that hunter biden some time down the road, john and sandra, may speak in public as far as a public hearing is concerned as he offered it in the past. john? >> well, until then, a little light reading in your future. look forward to that. >> exactly. >> john: we'll be right back. . and - ahoy! it's the explorer! each helping to protect their money with chase. woah, a lost card isn't keeping this thrill seeker down. lost her card, not the vibe. the soul searcher, is finding his identity, and helping to protect it. hey! oh yeah, the explorer! she's looking to dive deeper... all

democrats are likely to downplay what jim biden has to say arguing it is not related to joe biden, thesident of the united states. the house republicans including chairman james comer of oversight have always said that joe biden is the brand, the brand that other families including jim biden used to make money. one week from today hunter biden will sit down and answer questions in a deposition. he will be under oath and speaking of hunter and joe biden, as you mentioned, harris, tossing to me, former f.b.i. informant charged last week with lying when he told the f.b.i. that both joe biden and hunter biden took $5 million apiece in bribes from ukrainians has contacts with high-level russian intelligence. meeting with the sources a few months ago according to a new government filing yesterday. the government wanted him held in custody but 43-year-old alexander smirnov was released pending trial. we know that alexander smirnov lives in las vegas and able to be out right now as this goes a little bit more toward trial and special counsel weiss says he is concerned that smirnov was actually

jim biden paid hundreds of thousands of dollars. clearly jim has questions. aced with them tomorrow as part of biden impeachment inquiry. reached out to the bidens for comment. yet to hear back i am shocked. fox news contributor, jonathan. your analysis really biting and tough. forget about the $5,000 tax delinquency, most cases nothing to be fair. consultant jim biden had no experience running hospitals. he did understand the federal government. he got paid. hospital went under. how does that look to you? what would you call that? >> doesn't look good. some of us have been writing about that company for years. reason that is important, present biden repeatedly suggested he didn't know anything about the business deals of his son. he expressed lack of knowledge of influence peddling by his family. that is demon stra bli untrue. his brother didn't try to make this subtle. he harkened his connections to his brother. ability to use that name on his official pitches. and so, present biden had to know that his son and brother were influenced peddling. you have to s

we've got jim biden, hunter biden and tony bobulinski all coming andy ba in in the net three weeks. >> it'll be a big three weeks for the investigation. i'd like to know what the grandkids did to get the money they got and where that mone kny what? anyway, james comer, thank you. we appreciate you being with us. when we come ou being wit back. biden-nomics, they keep telling you how great it is. it's worse thamics, th n, we thought. we have a shocking report of it justt just how much damage joe has done to your economyo yr and how americans a large percentage of them are suffering because of these are suffering because of these failedause policy. straight ahead here, oc.♪ three different ways for me to screen for colon cancer. it's time to use my voice. i've got a choice for them we had a talk. you just wanfor colot to say i t for a color guard and did it my way. color guard is a one of a kindve way to screen for colon cancer that is effective that is effective and noniard.ivr it's for people 45 plus at average risk, not high risk, false, positive and negative result s occur. ask your

you got valerie biden, jim biden. >> right. >> laura: hunter biden.crats, again, keep insisting that tony bobulinski is lying. his attorney responded today by saying it's categorically false to assert that mr. bobulinski failed to provide any evidence at all that biden was involved in family business dealings. bobulinski's testimony and motivations for coming forward will soon be available for all to see. called it a false characterization. has no place in the debate. they sound pretty confident that bobulinski will be debunked or his motivations exposed. >> first of all, there's a lot of receipts showing a lot of different lines pointing back to the biden family. texts, bank accounts, millions of dollars flowing to biden family members. and cnn, i think, it was last night or this morning said these are all uncorroborated. there's a lot of evidence building up that it's impossible to ignore what the biden family was doing for years and years. towards the end of joe biden actually being vice president, and then obviously in those years intervening, you

biden. it will culminate over the next two weeks. next week the president's brother jimstions behind closed doors, in two weeks hunter biden will be on capitol hill to sit before republicans and democrats for a transcribed interview under oath expected to go all day and we'll see a transcript of what he has to say. >> bill: david spunt in washington. >> thanks. >> bill: here is karine jean-pierre from the white house as we mentioned. an early briefing. >> vulnerable people around the world. >> john kirby will be there, too. we'll await headlines and bring you there momentarily. 25 minutes past the hour. >> every single biden national security official from the director of national intelligence to the cia director to the dia director to the head of cyber command has warned that tiktok is a national security threat. you have biden's handpicked advisors telling him it is a ccp tool or weapon and he is ignoring that. why? >> dana: republicans and democrats are questioning the biden campaign joining tiktok despite overwhelming evidence the app presents a national security thr

they sure as heck weren't paying jim biden for his brilliant mind. he chinese expected of the bidens and what exactly the bidens delivered. maria: do you believe that tony bobulinski has more recordings of discussions that he had, that he's been holding onto for a rainy day. >> i don't know. that's something we'll find out. he's been treated poorly by the bidens. they've attacked him. you can interview tony bobulinski and you get a picture of what those of us on oversight committee have been through. we've been obstructed. we have been harassed. we've been intimidated. maria: congresswoman, james biden is also scheduled to appear in front of the committees on february 21st and hunter biden is going to appear on february 28th. what are you expecting to hear here? and can you identify policy changes that joe biden made as a result of taking in money? >> well, , i expect to hear the truth, number one. whatever that may be. i hope they come in and tell the truth. i do think tony bobulinski has some additional evidence that he's holding onto. what i am con

but from the left side because we know that hunter biden, joe biden, the biden family, including jim bidennd paid for by russia and russian oligarchs. i don't know a single father, a single parent that sits on as many business meetings for their son as joe biden has. i would like to know the content of those meetings, those dinners, those over 80 times that hunter biden, his business associates visited the white house to see joe biden. what was the condition tent of those conversations? what did joe biden mean to his son and his son's business partners when he said be good to my boy, right? we have a lot of questions there will be hundreds of questions asked today. >> carley: we will see if he pleads the fifth or answers them directly. congresswoman, the a.p. is out with an article that highlights problems they see house republicans are running into whether it comes to this investigation and they write: yes yet, after conducting dozens of interviews and obtaining more than 100,000 pages of documents, republicans have yet to produce direct evidence of misconduct by the president. meanwhile,

judiciary, no irs records, no loan documents confirming the money that joe biden was getting that jim bidennts supporting what they're saying? >> no, there's no documentation. and, you know, also james biden, the way in which he describes what he was providing to these foreign entities is really acting as a foreign agent. if he not only, you know, if you put all of the unethical issue aside of joe biden personally receiving financial benefit, if you set that aside, we still have the facts that jim biden, hunter biden were acting as foreign agents. they were unregistered, cleary. and -- clearly. and their excuse is that they were just bad at their job, that they ultimate wily never provided the -- ultimately never provided any outcome to, for example, the chinese energy company. elizabeth: you know what's really striking here, congressman? you bring up violating the foreign lobbying laws. they didn't register the as foreign agents when they were taking in money from kazahkstan, romania, china, russia. so this was happening at the same time that then-vice president biden was accusing general

. >> we've already had information where jim biden was leveraging joe biden's name and seen the dollars there in the form of loans. american people know that. democratic colleagues refuse to admit it. >> sandra: james biden accused of making millions off his brother's name set to testify tomorrow into the impeachment inquiry to the president. we will have more on that coming up. (bridget) with thyroid eye disease i hid from the camera. and i wanted to hide from the world. for years, i thought my t.e.d. was beyond help... but then i asked my doctor about tepezza. (vo) tepezza is the only medicine that treats t.e.d. at the source not just the symptoms. in a clinical study more than 8 out of 10 patients taking tepezza had less eye bulging. tepezza is an infusion and may cause infusion reactions. tell your doctor right away if you experience high blood pressure, fast heartbeat, shortness of breath or muscle pain. before treatment, tell your doctor if you have diabetes, ibd, or are pregnant, or planning to become pregnant. tepezza may raise blood sugar and may worsen ibd. tepezza may cause s

hunter biden, 20% for gilyard, 20% for rob walker, 20% for hunter biden and talks about money for jim biden the big guy. >> for the big guy, right. it was funny, rob walker when we deposed him, we asked him who is the big i guy, well, i don't know that is. everyone knows who the big guy is, for goodness sake. looks like a similar thing they were trying to do with americorp and cefc. both of them fell through and didn't work even though the bidens did get money from both entities. maria: i believe tony bobulinski confirmed to you that joe biden was the big guy. >> yeah. he sure did. and anyone with common sense can see the e-mail and a knows what that reference is. but we have one witness who said i don't know who it is and just made no sense to us. i think he does know but didn't tell us when he was in for his deposition. maria: it's interesting that you've got the americor be p situation and the same tack tigs are used for the chinese company, cefc. critics will point to mr. smirnoff and the fbi agent who has now been indicted. he was your big whistleblower who initially said, yeah, burism

we will know more about jim biden and away, the majority of the money hunter biden received, through the adversarial, suspicious transfers from countries to the shell companies he didn't pay a penny of taxes on them. the taxes that he owns are based on income, he still owes millions and millions of dollars on the influence peddling tea money, they need to take, after the irs went in and investigating biden plaster money laundering and tax evasion, from irs whistleblower's, from that point on it changed the way they were taking money in, now they started taking money and claiming it as a loan because you don't have to report a loan to the irs. if you get a loan and never pay it back, that is income. i can make a strong argument on your show today that the president's son and brother owed millions of dollars to the irs for the money they took in from the influence peddling schemes. where they disguised as loans and loaned off expenses from their shell companies so this is a problem, this is a big part of our investigation and then you look at president biden, he took an 1/4 of $1 milli

. >> the biggest take away at this particular point in his opening statement jim biden said he had nont and he was not in agreement with rob walker and when presented with the document that he signed with the gentleman coming together with the business arrangement he changed his story and said he was not familiar with signing the particular document that's one of the situations of your lips are moving your lying that's one of my biggest take away from a happen yesterday. cheryl: he was claiming he could not remember is that the just of what you heard from them? >> that was my understanding his official testimony and flat out that i was not part of any arrangement that's a huge inconsistency you don't remember signing the document are being a part of a group and that's all the evidence we've received so far we know payments have been made he was not aware of $360,000 in payments in 2017 and they were from the chinese energy company cef c but rob walker testified he was on the phone extensively with jim biden about the payments and those were directed by hunter and most americans would

they were willing to go into business with jim biden, who had numerous failed business ventures. who owed multiple people hundreds of thousands of dollars are willing to go into business just with hunter and just with jim because of the power of the brand. the influence with joe biden that would entail. >> dana: coming ahead of hunter biden's deposition. that is scheduled for next week. >> bill: democrats say it is time to pull the plug on the impeachment inquiry after the d.o.j. indicted one of the witnesses for lying. republicans say the underlying facts have not changed. house ways and means chairman jason smith is here. first to mike emanuel for the story and news on this in d.c. good morning. >> good morning. marathon day for president biden's brother behind closed doors with house lawmakers. his interview looked into biden family business dealings was on the record and insists joe biden has never had any involvement or any direct nor indirect financial interest in his business ventures. james biden says he has kept his professional life separate from their close personal rel

. >> john: jim biden, yesterday in his opening statement he said the following in part, i have alwayst my professional life separate from our close personal relationship, him and joe biden, i never asked him to take action on behalf of my, my business associates or anyone else. earlier jason smith, chairman of the house ways and means committee would not say he was lying but did say this. >> the irs whistleblowers provided the ways and means committee an email that james biden was included in that was talking about how they would distribute the profits from the chinese energy company, 20% to james, and 10% to the big guy. he's definitely not telling the truth. it's complete hog wash what he's saying. >> john: wouldn't call him a liar but said he's not telling the truth. here is the truth. they have a lot of receipts with hunter biden, a couple with jim biden, but nothing to connect all of that to the president in any kind of way that looks like it's illegal or even potentially unethical. how much longer can this probe go on before the republicans have to either put up or move on. >> i

well, you know, see, i smoked crack at the white house insideh this circus went on.ok jim biden saying that in his 50 year business career,er his brother, joe biden, quote, has never had any involvement or any direct or indirect financial interest. but a labyrinth of shell companies, loan repayments and sworn testimonh y from jim's former business partners paints a completely different picture that's on top of the left-wingop thiset politico this week, reporting that quote, joe bidena was a central element of joe biden's pitch to potentialbiden' partners and investors in a deal with a hospital chain that collapsed amid a fraud scandahospitall. so to say that the president's brother didn't benefit from his name would be a flat out lie, but lies are all democrats have as the house impeachment inquiry continues to air demon's dirtmey laundry, democrats are looking for a quick was y out. so they're dusting off the old d russia, russia, russia playbook. >> not only is there no evidence of any wrongdoing by president biden, but it now appear bent s as if the house republican majority is bein

. >> and according to politico, when none of that happened, c that company they went under, jim biden, he still got paid hundreds of thousands of dollars. well, clearly, jim has thourl some questions to answer. and guess what? he will be faced with them'l tomorrow when he sits for a transcribed interview with congreseds as part of the biden impeachment inquiry. now, we also reached out to the bidensachment hed ou for commene have yet to hear back. i am shocked. it was reaction.shoc fox news contributor and of course, george washingtoked.n university law professor jonathan turley is with us. you know, jonathan, your analysijos, this has been really, really biting and really tough. forget about the $5,000, you know, tax delinquency that usually in most cases nothing. toto be fair, the consultang jim biden had no experience running hospitals, but did understand the federal government and he go t paid and then the hospital went under. how does tha that look to you? >> what do you what wouldth you call that? loo >> well, it doesn't look good. but what's really interesting is that some of u

interview and then what did you learn from tony bobulinski last week. >> what we like to see from jim bidenal documents from joe biden to you, why so many shell companies what exactly did you do what services did you provide to your clients other than selling access and peddling influence and being part of the biden briand these are questions i would like to ask and here's another question will we find more loan repayments because there are so many bank accounts that jim, hunter and the biden family have it is ahead scratcher. maria: also when james comer joined me last week he said there are a lot of credit cards, he suggested the credit cards were being paid by chinese communist party members and that's why he sent a subpoena to american express and he was paying the bills but this is the check that you're referring to the james biden set joe biden on march $12,018,200,000 and very detailed article in politico about biden's brother and we use the biden name to promote americorps and the company collapsed they are suing him for $600,000, did they use the same tactics in this case the ameri

account of hunter biden and jim biden, ultimately flowing to biden, but ultimately flowing to joe records don't lie. >> what did you make of that, joe that joe biden joe judgement that joe biden could not be tried in relation to those documents that left the white house? yeah, because he was because he was a frail old man who didn't have a memory. and yet he is simultaneously the man who sits with his finger on the nuclear trigger. >> that's right. and you >> that's right. and so you can't both right. you have can't be both right. you have to. one or other. you to. it's one or the other. you can't be unfit to stand trial, but also. and then be fit to be president have, you know, president and to have, you know, have and so that was have the codes. and so that was a outrageous that was a pretty outrageous that was only wednesday or thursday. only last wednesday or thursday. and came robert hur, and it came from robert hur, who's republican, but who's yes, is a republican, but it not hyper partisan. and he it not a hyper partisan. and he was hired by the justice department of joe bi

to testify for hours even behind closed doors is a coup for republicans, they wanted to talk to jim bidenr brothers of the president and questions both republicans and democrats so james biden promoted the hospital chain defined and accused of committing massive not including medicare fraud. his published to the weekend. the article claims he used his brother's name over and over again. james, the republican for kentucky says joe biden is a brand, has always been the brandon they want to explore more about tomorrow when they speak to biden. biden testified tomorrow, a week from tomorrow, hunter biden, the president's son will be quick impeachment investigators, republicans and democrats under oath behind closed doors. if that happens in a week and we will get transcripts even though these are not in public, will get transcripts from these so should be turned quickly depending on how it goes and it's possible hunter biden may on the road testify in public as he is ready to do so in front of cameras in public so after this session we may see under on camera taking questions. >> can't wait.

business, the brand that will be the focus, i think, of today's questioning, specifically relative to jim biden'svement, james biden's involvement with cefc, americorps. >> cefc is the chinese energy company that has ties to both the communist party and hunter biden. in his opening statement today james biden told members, quote i have had a 50 year career in a variety of business ventures. joe biden has never had any involvement or any direct or indirect financial interest in those activities, none. democrats down played today's testimony and repeatedly pointed to a court filing we told you about last night alleging that alexander smear november the former fbi accepting millions in bribes from ukrainian energy firm had contacts with russian intelligence. >> we instating my call to chairman comer to speaker johnson, to fold up the tent to this circus show. >> >> one week from today hunter biden will appear for his deposition on capitol hill. he will be under oath taking questions from both republicans and democrats. mike, just a few days ago president biden called on republicans to end this impea
