sharma's one shot clear of a group including englishmen ross fisher and jordan smith. me, marc edwards, and the rest of the team, bye—bye. hello. we've waited until september for it, but provisionally, today has been the warmest day of the year so far, with temperatures getting quite close to 33 celsius. it continues a long run of hot days, in fact, the longest run of september days with temperatures above 30 degrees on record. and it looks set to continue at least for another couple of days. but there were exceptions. this was edinburgh earlier on this afternoon with a lot of cloud overhead and we will continue to see a fair amount of cloud and indeed some mist and murk across eastern scotland and eastern england overnight. we have seen some quite sharp showers and thunderstorms today across parts of northern ireland. those will continue to ease. so as we start friday morning, it's going to be warm again, 13 to 17 degrees. and we will have some of this mist and murk and low cloud feeding across eastern and central parts of scotland, down the east coast of england, but

they will take a vote after this trio of chairmen, comer, jordan and smith lay this all out, which is you called for earlier this hour. is all of it enough to move those five? you will need them. >> look, i mean, i think the evidence already is overwhelming. i doubt that people have had the opportunity to actually read these suspicious activity reports. it's one thing -- i was a former business owner, to get one if you are doing overseas transactions, to get 160 when they see who all of these shell companies are registered to in the biden family, grandchildren that are receiving money? i think it is just common sense to say -- we're seeing this in polling now as well, not just republicans but independents and democrats saying it warrants taking the investigation to the next level. no one is saying there is an impeachment vote tomorrow. it is responsible to look into this further and have the relevant committees have the power of an inquiry to demand answers. >> harris: i want to hit one more thing with you. it has to do with just kind of the substance of where we are. you have three r

are you comfortable with what chairman comer, jordan and smith are doing? >> we heard from comer and jordan and briefed the senate on the investigations, and a lot of bad conduct there and a lot of information that's being -- that the biden administration is stonewalling on providing to the investigative committees, and so i think this is a natural next step. go where the facts -- where the facts lead on this, and i think there, as i said yesterday, there is a lot of smoke there, and usually that much smoke there is some fire. >> john: we have been talking about this this afternoon with these indictments, three-count indictment, of hunter biden, how far away we are from where we were seven weeks ago, when he walked into judge mary ellen noreika's courtroom in delaware expecting to pro forma sign some documents and walk scott free with the promise of future immunity, and now what system of justice was applied to this fellow? >> that's the other question that hopefully the investigation will get at. one, it's about his conduct, for sure. but secondly, about ho

now, top republican committee chairman james comer, jim jordan, jason smith hold a meeting this morningdiscuss the biden family investigations. according to our colleagues at fox digital, an fbi agent involved in the hunter biden probe told the house judiciary committee that he did not believe politics was involved in the decision-making in the federal investigation into the president's son. guys? >> pete: lucas, thank you very much. that number, 6% of america agrees with karine jean-pierre that there is no evidence at all of something unethical or illegal. 6% is a staggering number. >> ainsley: i think the numbers would be even higher if all of the media outlets were really covering this the way that they should. there is so much evidence. >> ainsley: 51%, more than half the country does believe -- they believe that he was involved in his son's business dealings. >> brian: where do you think that number was in 2020? >> pete: oh, i mean. >> ainsley: we didn't know about this story then. >> pete: he brought it up during the debates but the stories got suppressed. >> brian: got shot down

kudos to chairman jim jordan, chairman also james comer and also chairman jason smith for writing a letterthis is something that actually went on. we know it's more bluster, but really unprecedented the way -- the bullying tactics coming from the biden administration if hunter biden. they have no shame, they have no ethics, and we need to the expose hem which is why i'm so grateful we're going into an impeachment definely using the ways and means committee, judiciary and also oversight. and i'm proud to be a member of that committee with the great jace ensmith leading -- jason smith leading the way on our side. laura: claudia, it was the whisper blowers who testified about this tone -- phone call where humidity hunter biden's talking to the chinese oil investor or whoever it was and my father's right next to me. that was the most indicting of the indictable evidence, it seems to me. >> well, absolutely. and that was done -- we actually did a little bit of a search on that doing some search ising on our friend with some friends from delaware that joe biden was actually with hunter biden tha

shutdown because it would halt these investigations that the house is working on and chairman smith, jordaning to push forward to get this information and to find out exactly what the relationship is between joe biden and biden incorporated. and archives you were just talking about archives not wanting to turn over all of these e-mails with the pseudonyms that joe biden was using as he was vice president. and they want to get those so that they have a record so they have that paper trail of what the involvement was and, of course, we know that they're continuing to get bank records and the american people certainly, tennesseans jason every too many i talk with them they want to know what happened. who was involved, and for people that did things wrong they want them to be punished. >> well they're literally thousands of e-mails and pseudonyms and all kinds of things happening there. senator, i would be remised if i didn't ask you also a key question about leadership in the house or in the senate. and in the house -- you have people that are having medical issues, and seriously cognitive iss

because there are -- most of these republicans who are chairing this, that's jamey comer, jim jordan, and jason smith believe biden should be impeached. so it's very -- it wasn't great for republicans to be honest with you, and the leadership realizes that. >> yeah, the optics of it at the hearing and also their attention seems to be on the hearing as opposed to keeping the government open when it's about to show. busy day. co-founder of bunch bowl news jake sherman certainly speak to you next week. good luck this weekend. >>> still ahead on "way too early" senator bob menendez addresses his colleagues for the first time since his federal indictment on bribery charges. we'll have more on that brief meeting. >>> plus it appears the seven candidates on stage for the second republican presidential debate did not attract the attention that they had hoped. we'll take a look at the lackluster ratings for their match up. those stories and a check on weather, and sports headlines when we come right back. and sp when we come right back. rsv is out there. for those 60 years and older protect against rsv with a

chairman james comer at the committee on oversight and in coordination with chairman jim jordan and jason smithi do not make this decision lightly. regardless of your party or who you voted for, these facts should concern all americans. the american people deserve to know that the public offices are not for sale. and the federal government is not being used to cover up the actions of a politically associated family. i would encourage the president and his team to fully cooperate with this investigation in the interest of transparency. we are committed to getting the answers for the american public. nothing more, nothing less. we will go wherever the evidence takes us. thank you. >> so the speaker taking no questions, but i would like to continue having questions answered if possible with congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz and ali vitali. >> kevin mccarthy and house republicans, the extreme maga wing, and that's what this is about, they are succumbing to donald trump, and they are allowing donald trump to hold our economy hostage, and they are giving in to their extreme maga wing and they wi

it will be led by chairman james comer along with chairman jim jordan for the judiciary committee and chairman jason smith on ways and means. i would expect them to have full transparency. we're committed to getting the answers for the american public, nothing more, nothing less. we will go wherever the evidence takes us. host: that's a portion from the announcement yesterday launching this inquiry, impeachment inquiry by house republicans against the president's son and looking at the president himself. again, if you support this effort, 202-748-8000 and if you oppose it, 202-748-8001. "the washington post" reports that mr. mccarthy's calculation on how to launch a impeachment inquiry changed after his leadership team surveyed a change over the past week and recognized there would not be enough votes to open an inquiry on the house floor according to republican lawmakers and aides familiar with conversations like others who spoke on condition of anonymity who spoke private deliberations and people going on to say unilateral rally launching a inquiry showed vulnerable incumbents especially those districts

behind the scenes closed door meeting of the three superstars that connected so many dots, smith, comer, jordand every week it seems like there's another dot connected and it's just alarming. we're going to get to the bottom of it. maria: what are you going to do in terms of your conference, your membership? we know that there are some republican congressmen who have said you're not there yet. look, we've got a graphic right there. these are the republicans who publicly stated that they do not support an impeachment inquiry, ken buck of colorado, dave joyce of ohio and mike lawler of new york. what do they see that you don't. >> you could also put 200 other congressmen that says yes, let's go forward with this impeachment inquiry. inquiry is the best of both worlds. it says let's take the next step and see. because there is so much smoke, maria, so much smoke. you don't have 20 shell companies except for a reason to hide and play the shell game. you don't have over 5,000 -- 5400 fake e-mails where the president himself is talking about hunter's business dealings when he said over and over again

think you can get the votes with all that is coming out, comer lays it out, chairman jordan lays it out, chairman jason smithways anden means lays it out. is there too much fear to go forward with republicans? >> sean: comer lays it out, jim jordan lays it out. the house is not made to investigate this stuff, the fbi is equipped -- >> harris: they are doing a good job. >> sean: who got this money? what is up with the shell companies? the fact the fbi won't do their job on joe biden and the house, legislative body has to expose this to the american people, corruption of joe biden is insane. the fact republicans aren't focused on the looming shutdown, the fbi, the doj, the corrupt level of government is insane to me. >> harris: emily. >> emily: to americans, addresses matter, they prevent us from sending our kids to certain schools, they prevent or enable us to do a lot of things. this family is protected, insulated because of their addresses and get away with this, it is appalling to me. we are supposed to forgive and forget that he lied on the debate stage. i hope there is some regret for people who voted fo

chairman smith coomer in jordan have been doing a great job wit investigations.at everyone agrees will pass if they can get it to the floor. each one has their own particular need or their own particular fixation. there are one or two like congressman goetz who i think i frankly deranged, who you're never going to get. he hates kevin, he is never going to go after speaker mc carthy per he openly says he wants to get rid of him. that means one less vote that kevin has in order to get thing done right the others i think our playing a game that could blow up on them. and the end, either the house republicans find a way to talk with themselves, get this sorte out, and pass these things, or you're inevitably going to have some coalition with the democrats with bigger spending, further to the left, and more radical policies. somebody somewhere will find tw solution and i think for example , speaker mccarthy yesterday thought they had the votes, they walked onto the floor, remember switched who ha voted yes the day before now voted no, and this is the sort of stuff when

claudia, this is back in the news and jim jordan requested all the documents and communications between jack smithrump's assistants walt and may have been defending his other assistants but the issue is they dangled something and look more kindly on your judgeship if you backed off this defense and overstating or understating and that's going to get your attention. can you help us out? >> more than raising eye bros and jim jordan asking for this and saying look, we want you to flip on president trump and if you otherwise you went goat get that judgeship on joe biden's desk that you can sign onto. there's ethical rules for all lawyers including prosecutors. so we've seen this throughout this dirty cop merrick garland's appointment of jack smith. this guy is terrible and abusive process and malicious prosecution and all the things that would come under and going after prosecutor jack smith that's done in one way or another and what jim jordan can do and put those documents together and what hammed. did this guy allege that the stanley woodward this happened, the attorney, and happened in other cases

back, i want to ask for your consent to enter in the record three letters from myself, chair jordan, and jerry smith to the director of secret service, -- the attorney general, requesting more information pertaining to our investigation. without objection to order as well, entering into the record the two thank memorandums we have already submitted to our friends in the media that we are trying to teach financial literacy to, i'd like to enter those memorandums into the record. again, i want to thank you all so much for what you've done today. i can't imagine what you've been through. i apologize for what you've been through. this is -- this committee is all about. the house oversight committee is to identify mismanagement in the government. to do, that we depend on whistleblowers. whistleblowers coming forward and telling their story, that's what you all have done. to think that there are people on the committee who have tried to question your credibility it is pretty low mark for the history of the house oversight committee. again, thank you, what we've learned today, just to go back six months, w

jim jordan, jim comer and jason smith, all the republican screamers. that's what's happened. >> and do you anticipate there to be charges brought on the tax front in the next three to four weeks, which is the time frame they gave? >> i think if the u.s. attorney's office does what you quoted chairman comer to say, if they're, meaning the republicans, are in the driver's seat of prosecutor's car, you can't predict what will happen. on the merits all the tax charges were vetted by this office and they thought too late misdemeanor for filing late charges. now they may escalate it. if they do, people should act what changed? not the facts, not the law but the politics. >> we've been talking about tax and gun charges. many people say they're far from enough. here is republican congressman matt gates today. >> getting hunt areer on the gu charge is like getting jeffrey damn dahmer on littering. >> do you believe there are more charges coming? >> i don't know what they're going to do if they continue to listen to the matt gates of the world. if they do what t

james coder of the committee of oversight, in coordination with chairman jim jordan for judiciary committee, and chairman jason smith is not a real impeachment inquiry that kevin mccarthy announced today. 11 days after he said that's exactly what he would not do. 11 days ago, kevin mccarthy said to open an impeachment inquiry is a serious matter, and house republicans would not take it lightly or use it for political purposes. that's why, if we move forward with an impeachment inquiry, it would occur through a vote on the floor of the people's house and not through a declaration by one person. you just saw a declaration by one person. speaker mccarthy knows that a majority of the house of representatives is opposed to an impeachment inquiry, including several republicans. like republican congressman ken buck, who knows that evidence against president biden does not exist. >> well, marjorie files impeachment articles of impeachment on president biden before he was sworn into office, more than two and a half years ago. so the idea that she is now the expert on impeachment, or that she is someone who should set the tim

is going to be led by oversight chairman james comer, judiciary chairman jim jordan and ways and means chairman jason smith. >> through our investigations, we have found that president biden did lie. 2 american people about his own knowledge of his family's foreign business dealings. that's why today i'm directing our house committee to open a formal impeachment inquiry into president joe biden. this logical next step will give our committees the full power to gather all the facts and answers for the american public. well, that announcement comes as a republican leader faces mounting pressure to take action. >> against biden while he is also struggling to pass legislation needed to avoid the federal government shutdown at the end of the month. the president has not responded yet, but we're going continue to follow this story. send it back to you both at the desk. thank you. reyna 10, 12 and still ahead on the kron 4 morning news. the city of oakland is pledging millions oakland is pledging millions of dollars when it comes to your hair, ingredients matter. that's why herbal essences is packed with naturall

also doing it at the federal level with special counsel jack smith to indictment at the former president. now, we're seeing it again with jordan's efforts to pro d.a. fani willis's investigation and this fourth criminal indictment against the former president. we have some new reaction, your right. including from congressman dan goldman who sits on the weaponization subcommittee that jordan shares. looking into that, as republicans say this is a dual system of justice. take a listen to what he had to say. >> it's one thing if it were a federal prosecution, which, of course, jim jordan and the house republicans are also trying to do with the special counsel jack smith. it's all together a wholly different thing when the federal government is trying to intervene in a state prosecution. i thought she did a very good job of laying out why this is an abuse of power, an abuse of authority by the house republicans to do the bidding of donald trump. >> what goldman is responding to there is that nine-page letter that willis had sent to jordan and response to this inquiry that jordan lobbied at her, including wanting to know whether she

chairman smith, chairman colmer and chairman jordan have been doing a great job of investigationgreat jos. they produced a defense bill which everyone agrees bill pas s if they can get it to the floor. the problem is you've got to pass a rule dear to the floor twice now different republicans have decided to stop the bill from going ea the floor. why? because each one has their own particular need or their ownor t particular fixation. nohe w there are one or two congressmen gets who i cos deranged, who you're never going to get. he hates kevin. he's not going to vote for . him.r mccarthys neve he openly says he wants to get rid of him, you know, which is that's his prerogative. but that means one less vote that kevin has in order to gets things done. the others, i think, are playing a game that could blowme that the up on them in , either the house republicansay t find a way to talko ta with themselves, get this sorted out and pass these things, or you're inevitably going to have some coalition with the democrat house with thl bigger spending, further to the leftef, more radical polici

committee with james comer, they have the judiciary chairman, who's involved, jim jordan and the ways and means chairman jason smith. so they now have three committees who will be looking at alleged misconduct and wrongdoing from different angles and when they issue the subpoenas, if the parties want to contest them, it would be more difficult going to the court.. so we heard house speaker kevin mccarthy today saying that republicans have already uncovered allegations serious allegations of abuse of power there could be the political reasons to take attention away from the cases currently against trump or or to try to put mccarthy on the hot seat as they go into negotiations over the budget. so there are lots of reasons, as the allegations have been, hunter biden is some type of crook, so the president must be as well, or he opened doors for his son or they had joint financial social positions. but again, we haven't seen the evidence of that. and i want to add to this. you know, there is the justice department investigation of hunter biden, which we know is likely to end up in an indictment even by the end of this

i want to thank chairman smith and chairman jordan for their cooperation and working with the oversight committee on this investigation. this is an important joint effort that shows the american people that accountability matters regardless of your last name. for this hearing, opening statements will be limited to ten minutes for the chair and ten minutes for the ranking member. i now recognize myself for the purpose of making an opening statement. since assuming a republican majority in january, the house oversight committee has made historically fast progress in our investigation into the biden family influence peddling schemes. just six months, we have obtained thousands of pages of financial records. this includes bank records for biden family associates and suspicious activity reports generated by the biden and their associates -- dollars and foreign business transactions. what these records reveal is astonishing. the bidens created over 20 shell companies, most of which were created when joe biden was vice president. bank records so far show the biden family, the business associat

led by conmangue james comer, he will have assistance from chairman jim jordan as well as house ways and means chairman james smithall involved in different parts of the hunter biden probe. the question is, where does this go from here. and will they actually move forward and try to make joe biden just the fourth president in american history to be charged with high crimes or misdemeanors. that would still be a very high bar to get, to because of divisions within the republican ranks. but by moving -- with this impeachment inquiry, dana, he does have support from members of the far right, including congresswoman marjorie taylor greene someone who met privately with kevin mccarthy just yesterday. and also had dinner with donald trump on sunday night and had been calling for an impeachment inquiry. she said she's fine with mccarthy skipping the vote. and she wants the investigation to go as long as possible, even potentially into next year, the election year. >> i'm very excited to see it happen. i think americans deserve truth. they deserve transparency. and we need this investigation to go as long as it needs to.

jason smith of ways and means and screamy jim jordan from judiciary will work with oversight chairman james comer. so here's where his evidence has taken us so far. >> have you found anything illegal while he was actually in office? >> well, we found a lot that's certainly unethical. we found a lot that should be illegal. >> there's no evidence that joe biden did anything illegally. >> well, if you look at the laptop and the emails between the president's son and his associates, they went to great lengths to hide joe's involvement. >> hold on a second, congressman. did you just say that the informant is now missing? >> well, we are hopeful that we can find the informant. >> make it easy for us. what was the crime? >> well, the crime is that trading policy for money. >> which policy? >> well, we're going to get into that. >> for the love of god, just help our programming and tell us what the crime is. that is by the way the same jim comer whose investigations were called eight months of abject failure by a watchdog group. it's not just his investigations. over in the snalt, equally mot

i think it was very notable one of the letters jordan sent previously to fani willis was if she had any contact with federal investigators in jack smith's office. that i think is a tale tell sign that trump is really just trying to get intel. >> and hugo, there's other news out of georgia with trump signaling today he might seek to move his fulton county case to federal court, but he hasn't actually decided. what's the thought process of trump's legal team here? >> yeah, i checked in with a couple of trump's lawyers, and people in his inner circle, and it seems to be that they are waiting for mark meadows, his former chief of staff, to see whether or not he can get his case moved to federal court. they want to see and use meadows as a guinea pig, as a test balloon to see whether his arguments fly and how kind of a federal judge might react before they jump in and potentially file their own removal motion themselves. i think to that end, the notice to the judge in fulton county today that he may soon file a removal motion is more aimed to the judge to say look, before you decide anything more in the fulton county case and whether or not

for any us, lashing out a house judiciary jim jordan, for investigating whether she coordinated with white house and special counsel smith, on her indictment of former president trump and within 2020 case, then chanted critics are saying that she would into a half years until the 2024 election, the season wasn't pulsing is pretty she just put up and say, you know here's the proof that i didn't talk to them the truth. shannon: is interesting on that when she was asking for the night when this will not be rolled out, press conference have you had coordination with special counsel checks that you don't want to get into it ended on aggressively she could shut down by quizzing know we didn't, and maybe they did, they had conversations or investigators people impressive come they would've had to talk to some of the same witnesses that is clear, so that would be points for the still what is her second is to investigations of national, congressman jordan and on the chair the committee said her, worried about potential political motivation, he launched of reelection campaign in your talk about prosecuting donald trump advice she
