now, since lowell came on we have certainly seen a more aggressive strategy. he has filed lawsuits on hunter biden's behalf. he has fired off letters to the hill, seeking, for example, an inspector general investigation into how some suspicious activity reports related to hunter biden ended up online. also, asking for an ethics investigation into representative marjorie taylor greene, in fact, earlier this we week we saw abby lowell down in arkansas in a court for a child support dispute, where hunter biden is trying to get his child support payments lowered. jake, you can imagine, abby lowell in family court in arkansas, clearly indicative of a very aggressive and possibly very expensive approach, but they believe that child support dispute has really become a proxy for some of these republican investigations. >> and what happens next? >> reporter: it's a great question. i am told that over the past several months some of that initial anxiety about this more forward-leaning approach really has -- it has temped down because they've seen that arguably this has

with that, lowell. lowell: i'll introduce ms. mcdonald from the podium and then i'll sit down and let her -- do you prefer to stand or sit? ok. this is a real honor for me. heather mcdonald is one of the great scholars in law in the country. she's the thomas w. smith fellow at the manhattan institute. she has a bachelor of arts from yale. a master of arts from cambridge. and a j.d. from stanford law school. the only thing i have in common with her is i went to stanford as well. so very -- that's where the similarities stop. she's an accomplished author. several beth-selling books. i'm not going to read you the titles but i do want to say at least two of them deal with defending the police. and the problems that we have in our urban areas. and she's won numerous awards from law enforcement agencies because of that. she's here today to talk about her newest book which was just released in april which is titled "when race trumps merit." it's an extraordinarily well-reverend, thoughtful -- well-reverend, thoughtful anational -- well

and hunter biden's legal team is apparently going on the offensive, and he's hired abbey lowell whiching to paula there's conseritation in the white house about taking an aggressive tact, which maybe abbey lowell would do. on msnbc president biden was asked about this tonight. >> sir, there is something personal that's affecting you. your son while there's no ties to you could be charged by your department of justice. how will that impact your presidency? >> first of all, my son has done nothing wrong. i trust him. i have faith in him, and it impacts my presidency by making me feel proud of him. >> okay, your thoughts. >> look, it's a father defending his son. and not only in defense of his son but ultimately he's trying to say that this is -- there's nothing to see her. but on the issue of bringing in abbey lowell, i mean this is a person who's a real deal, defended john edwards successfully, right, the senator of north carolina who was accused of corruption. defended bob menendez as well, defended ivanka trump, jared trump. you know, the bottom line -- kushner, excuse me. the bottom

abbe lowell is known as more rul aggressiveed f maybe than the lawyers that bob bauer at the white house and others had othe hunter biden. and i think kevin quirk'se is reporting the access report makes veryorting t clear . clashes going rogue.cl they're upset. look, this whitee house needss to reelect an unpopularto president and an unpopular vice president . they don't nee d biden's scandals in the way.anda bulst tell i us what you think f the hiring of abbe lowell and how that affects this moving forward. hibb well, you know, abbi, what was interesting and you were the most sophisticated political figures in the city, so it'llth be interesting, get your take on this.ke but i was surprised when the post first reported a meeting of a new team forhat a hunter biden that includes people that have beenve supporting them financially.f th and the whole thrust of the this storys was that they were going to go with ampan scorched earth campaign, thatese they were going to go.bo aggressive. in and what was weirut thad abot that is it haddi to come from a those individuals. this was a leak from

abbey lowell issued a letter saying the irs should investigate critics of hunter biden and should be criminal investigations with witnesses. that's getting close to the line if those lawyers then reach out to witnesses with that type of heavy message. you can really sort of trip some wires with a congressional investigation in the field. >> kelly anne: professor turley, switch gears here and go back to this bomb shell e-mails that you had two former cry a chiefs colluding to provide joe biden with a talking point for a presidential debate. the last debate late october 2020 that famous line from joe biden where he says, talking about hunter biden's laptop is garbage. he quotes that 50 intel officials have said it has the markings of russian disinformation. we know that that is all wrong now. it was all lie. it struck me that i saw speaking of congressional investigations, john brennan and another are going to have to go and testify in front of congress. james clapper will have to testify in front of congress about the weaponization of the government. can you clue us in to that a littl

i went to school near lowell, massachusetts in worcester. with the factories and the steel mills closing. this is named after robert lowell. the property values went down. a lot of stores got boarded up in the main streets of lowell. so cambodians came there literally with the clothes on their back. they didn't have an advanced degree, they didn't have even the language. within a generation, they have not only revitalized the community and the economy, they have opened up businesses. as you said, cambodian food is extraordinary there. they've even cleaned up the local river because they are a fishing people and they wanted to use it. now every citizen in lowell can fish and picnic by the riverside. i mean, when was the last time you fished in an american river? it's cool to me. that allows me to show rather than tell why i think we need to be a little bit more open hearted, as we have been in previous generations of our country's history. >> i love that you sat down with afghans who recently were forced to immigrate over here in washington,

jeopardy, and some are supporting jenkins decision including founding member of the friends of the lowell foundation, diane. >> you can't just willy-nilly go in there and shoplift and fight the guard and walk off scott free. i agree it is very unfortunate that a life was lost in this incident but i also feel like da jenkins is using her best judgment. >> we do love to hear from you, and if you want to hear the report, we posted it so you can study it line for line on kpix .com. >>> three people were injured after a train crashed into a parked pickup truck, it happened around midnight, this is near the coliseum station. the crash is being investigated but we can tell you as you get ready for your afternoon commute, the trains are up and running once again. and also, kids are back in school today in oakland for the first time in a week and a half, this is after the district and the teachers union agreed on a tentative deal to end the strike. the agreement will be this, teachers will get raises up to 22%, schools will get more nurses, counselors, librarians, and the district said they are co

hugo lowell, reporter for the guardian. david k.n reported for trump on decades and author of "the big cheat" how donald trump fleeced america and enriched himself and his family. i'm going to go to you first, hugo, to tell me the latest of what you know about this reporting. >> yeah. look, we confirmed this shortly after the cnn report that in july 2021 trump sits down far meeting with ghost writers of mark meadow's memoir and margo martin, this press aide. trump has all of these conversations recorded because he doesn't trust the journalists or the other people on the other side of the table. >> okay. >> but this is what seems to have bitten him in this instance -- >> just to be clear, this is at bedminster, this is not at mar-a-lago. >> in the summer months, trump goes from mar-a-lago to bedminster. he spends the summer in bedminster. bedminster is interesting because that was also where the recently departed trump lawyer suggested they didn't want to do a search of bedminster because they were worried about what they might find.

but we will start with this one here, and you can see this right here where you can see it from the lowellvation in arizona, which is an observatory, and these particles are left behind from halley's comet, and the meteors are known for the speed traveling 40,000 miles as it enters the earth's atmosphere. the sky gazers know that because they streak across large distances you should not use the telescopes or the binoculars to see them. viewing may be difficult to see them in bay area, and it is based on the location and also, we have a full moon, and we were talking about multiple things happening in the sky. getting to the full moon, this is referenced as the full flower moon and got the nickname of the full moon according to nasa, because it is appearing in may when the flowers are in bloom according almanac. the really cool thing about this is that it is not going to be bigger in any way, but it is going to be appearing brighter and an illusion as the moon rises, and so far, we can see the full moon moving in friday night, but the peak illumination is going to happen on the peak may 6th

they were going to get more aggressive, that they were going to pursue their critics, and then abby lowellthers have send outleters asking for his critics to be investigated by the irs, and to ask for criminal investigations of those who have been speaking out against him. so, this is part of a very aggressive period for hunter biden. it's not succeeding, but these lawyers have to be very careful. a dangerous line to walk and the question for merrick garland, at what point does this cross the line given what they have done in the past with trump associates. >> trace: it's interesting, when reading your op-ed you believe maybe the best course of action for biden, hunter biden and his attorneys is strike a plea deal, a cap stone plea as you called it. explain that for us. >> well, you know, the best time to wrap this up would have been before the republicans took control of the house. now republicans have issued subpoenas, generating a lot of new information publicly. that's putting a great deal of pressure on the department of justice. what the biden team would like # is if they are going t

hunter biden's attorney, abby lowell is arguing those reports should not be access and wrote to the inspector general of the treasury department to investigate accessing those suspicious activity reports. a small case here in rural arkansas has big implications back in washington. and really into the work where this us attorney david weiss has been looking into this for several years down per sean? >> david's bond, in arkansas. hunter was in court in arkansas, his father, the president, was honoring the muslims of the white house. it did not go very well. watch and you decide. >> the wheelchair for muslim athletes like kareem abdul-jabbar. i know him and i still mispronounced his name. congressman omar, where's congressman clothes. god love you. i'm not supposed to, i'll get trouble for say this but you look beautiful tonight. congressman tilly. where's a congresswoman? there you are. okay. so do you. i don't know why he wanted the job b man? i appoint all those federal judges. thank you for serving. i'm not kidding. you want to commit make a speech? hush up boy as my mother would d say the q

20 minutes before court, we were there, he was inside with london roberts, and his attorney abbey lowell. no opportunity to question hunter biden as police kept the media back and mentioned london roberts, she's suing hunter biden, says he needs to help more with child support involving their 4-year-old daughter, she is right there. dna test showed with near scientific certainty it is hunter's and originally they agreed on childcare can payments but she believes he is not living up to his end of the bargaining and stalling. but in court, learned several important facts. hunter biden is paying london roberts $20,000 a month. we also learned today that roberts has cooperated with the u.s. attorney in delaware involving that federal investigation into hunter biden. federal prosecutors in delaware are looking into his finances, including tax affairs, and overseas business dealings. hunter's attorneys were at the justice department in washington last wednesday to get a status update on that probe, the closed door meeting could signal a possible plea negotiation or charges may be imminent. it'

. >> reporter: hunter biden's attorney abbe lowell says there is no evidence of wrongdoing by his clientroper meetings and business by private citizens. n today the fbi declined to hand a document over or confirm that it exists. they said that these kinds of reports include leads and suspicions that are unverified. they come from confidential sources and say if we put this out here, essentially, it could harm the reputation of people who are later exonerated when we do further investigations. it could also potentially harm ongoing investigations. the white house said there is no evidence to back up these allegations against joe biden in the first place. >> sara murray, thank you very much. >>> on capitol hill tomorrow is the third deadline to hand over a key document on the withdraw. the document is a classified dissent cable and they believe it is key to its committee, his committee's investigation into the chaotic withdrawal. blinken believes sharing that cable means that the protected channel for u.s. diplomats to voice concerns with the administration would be forever tarnished. we'r

this was something that early on once they brought in abbe lowell who you know and a lot of us know heren very combative, he's been essentially pushing back at the republicans and the reason for that change according to people close to hunter biden is that, you know, they stood quietly while they were getting attacked for years so he's decided to go on the offensive. the white house obviously the president is now launching a reelection campaign. this was met with let's just say disfavor. they did not want this because they thought it was going to end up causing problems for the president. so far it appears to be working. at least according -- according to hunter biden's team and, you know, one of the things that is still -- they are still weighing is whether hunter biden can launch a defense fund which would raise a lot of really difficult legal questions for the white house and for hunter biden himself. >> certainly would, right? but this is not cheap what he has going, the number of lawyers we're talking about. >> i should also add by the way hunter biden says he's done nothing wrong s
