lowell made it clear they want the judge to throw this out.ovember 3rd to file the motions and they'll challenge it in two ways. one that they have an agreement already in place with respect to the gun charge and two, that the law itself that's being applied against hunter with respect to the guns is unconstitutional which will make for an interesting situation considering it's hunter's father's white house that has pushed strongly for these kinds of gun laws and their implementation. interesting to see what happens over the next month. >> gillian: you have been following this from the beginning since the early days of the investigation when you were serving in the government. do you -- did you see anything today or hear anything in the courtroom that surprised you and that you did not anticipate? >> no. it was pretty matter of fact. i did think it was interesting that lowell made very clear that they the end to ask the court to throw this out and another thing that i think we all should be waiting and watching for is abbe lowell indicated the

. >> bill: abbe lowell is his new attorney. well-known attorney in washington, d.c. circles.ll argue that hunter biden's in-person attendance may or may not be necessary for the sake of this case. we'll see what the judge has to say about that. jonathan turley now joins us. he picked up this gun,.38 caliber revolver in 2018 and now we have been led five years later to the point where we are today. professor, welcome back. >> thank you very much. it is obviously historic moment that few should celebrate. it is the first child of a sitting president to go through this moment. it is a moment, however, of great significance for hunter. he is looking at a potential of 25 years even though that is nothing like any sense that he would likely get. he is a first offender. this isn't connected to any crime. indeed, he wouldn't be facing these charges if they simply renegotiated that plea. but things fell apart and now the government is going full bore. what will be interesting is not just the question of whether they will challenge the underlying law, which his father supports vigorous

then he entered the plea of not guilty through his attorney abbe lowell. even though he was the first time that a child of a sitting president has been arraigned on criminal charges. this is how we got here. hunter biden has been under criminal investigation for over five years a. trump-appointed u.s. attorney investigated him for that length of time, and appeared that the investigation would be resolved with a plea deal on tax charges and the gun counts were going to be diverted and that plea deal fell apart, and now a special counsel filed three counts related to hunter biden's gun, and suggesting that he lied to the atf and the gun dealer that he was purchasing a gun while on drugs. abbe lowell suggested that the charges have been filed because the justice department has vowed pressure from former trump 's allies and in the form of his son. they claim that nobody has ever challenged the fact pattern of this test. today, they said they will test the strength of the case. the sources close to the legal team says if it is going to trial, they will prevail.

and from there they moved to the arraignment, abbe lowell entering not guilty on his behalf.ge anded if there were any overriding issues and the defense counsel abbe lowell spoke and said he tends to file two motions to dismiss, one, the pretrial diversion agreement on this gun conduct was signed at the time, an agreement between prosecutors, the justice department and hunter biden, both sides signed it, they believe it is in effect and this indictment and this potential trial shouldn't even be occurring at all. they're going to go for motion to dismiss on that. that's why we have been anticipated by legal experts. the second one is the constitutionality of the charges. different circuits in courts of appeals that have struck down this particular charge as unconstitutional. so they do anticipate to bring a motion to dismiss. based on that, abbe lowell said there would be a motion for an evidentiary hearing presume to be tied to the pretrial diversion agreement. we should expect to hear about what hunter biden's defense attorneys at the time and his former defense attorney chr

host: hugo lowell, a lot therefrom the former president.: the set up of the trial is really key. the fact that we don't have a jury is specific here for several reasons. number one, they did not request a jury trial. the judge clarified that heather requested a jury, he would probably not grant it and it would be a bench trial where the judge ruled. that is the first thing trump was confining about. the second is about how the case was brought by the new york attorney general. he is complaining about the fact it was a statute that is hardly used. that is fair. it is a complex statute concerning bookkeeping. the facts of the case remain the same, which is he inflated his net worth and inflated his net worth to different people. he would claim that his net worth was much higher than it actually was. to the banks he would say trump tower was 20,000 more square feet larger than it actually was but he would turn around and then go back to the irs and say it is much smaller. the size of these properties he owned is much smaller. that way he could

abbe lowell told the judge that they're going to ask for an evidentiary hearing.y want to test that case. it's unclear if it's going to go to a trial. also an open question about whether he will also be charged on tax charges that were supposed to be resolved with a plea deal. and i'm told that there is some hope that maybe all of this can ultimately be resolved with a plea deal, with a settlement. but as of right now no meaningful talks of that. >> you mentioned plea deal. they thought that this was all going to be wrapped up. >> exactly. >> with that plea deal that fell apart in that very courthouse where you were yesterday and now it's one of the reasons why his legal bills keep racking up. thank you for that exclusive reporting, paula. i appreciate it. >> of course. >> and thank you for joining "inside politics." "cnn news central" starts after a quick break.

we went thera divorce and a more litigious approach to his detactors he's brought on abbe lowell andiled lawsuits against rudy giuliani and other people who he believes have wronged him and if you're going to take an approach like that, hire lawyers like those at lathan like abby lowell cost a lot of money. how does he pay for it. kenmore is has paid more of his bills but they were hoping he could fund raise. maybe many allies of his father would come forward and help. but perhaps that was hopeful but it didn't materialize. there was a talk of a defense fund that did not get off the ground but he's facing a federal trial on the gun charges and possibly an additional trial if he's indicted on the tax charges. and all of the charges were expected to be resolved with a plea deal but now that he's facing one possibly two trials, that is going to be a big legal bill there and it is unclear how he's going to pay it. >> and hunter biden has you just mentioned, just last week filed a lawsuit against rudy giuliani. another political figure who himself is having trouble paying his legal bills.

president lowell will certainly stop the current bloodshed. and august 10,000 people that sign this petition. then there's the boycott effort of. margaret lamont, the prominent who organized the american boycott association. it's not a very big group. lemon to get american women to boycott japanese silk, not to buy nylon anymore until japan totally leaves china. and she had some success. she got the philosopher john dewey to support the movement, but she got nowhere with. new york's leading department store lured in taylor. then there's a proposal for a very important private foundation, 20th century fund, which offered a design for the gradual of sanctions against any violator of the kellogg war pact. now, before i go on, let me add that stimson occasionally with the idea of sanctions, but this is a verb i want to stress. he flirts with it in my own research, in the stimson papers, in files of the various pressure groups. i find stimson neither really or never really endorse the idea. he doesn't push it. he's not stanley. but he wrote a book

at lowell high school in san francisco about 150 students participated in today's rally and march, and some of those involved told us the demonstration was very personal because they have family in gaza right now. student organizers said they felt the need to speak out about decades of violence. >> this is a symbol of our youth forces coming together to stand against what has been going on to palestinian citizens for 75 years. >> there was a walkout at berkeley high and six san francisco high schools, and it was part of a national student walkout. >>> a touchy request from the utility, pg&e. it needs to raise your rates by double digits to help pay for improvements to make everybody safer, and today they plead their case, and ian cole has been digging into it. >> the regulators they are talking to will have the final say on if they can hike rates, and pg&e is asking for a 22% increase, and they need that because of the inflation, and also placing 2,100 miles of power lines underground to reduce the threat of wildfire being triggered by lines in high risk areas. >> pg&e has evolved from

well, john, hunter biden is now sitting inside of that courtroom and there with his attorney abbe lowell, and this is supposed to be a very brief hearing. this is where he is going to be entering the not guilty plea, and this is what we expect him to do. he will go down to get processed by the u.s. marshals, and then expect he will leave. now, of course, we don't know how this going to go down, because the last time he was here a couple of months ago, it was supposed to be a brief hearing and his plea agreement, and everything had been set up ahead of time, and then of course, it fell apart spectacularly when the judge started to ask questions about the terms of the deal were. now, part of that deal was for a diversion agreement whereby hunter biden would basically stay away from drugs and make sure that he did not buy any drugs for two years, and that gun charge would go away, but that is no longer the case. he is facing three counts for purchasing this handgun that he owned for 11 days, but under the federal law, it is a violation for him to possess that handgun, because he had said th

his lead attorney abbe lowell said he would file a motion to dismiss the case and citing a diversion agreement signed by the government and hunter's attorneys in july what would have allowed hunter to avoid jail time by pleading guilty to lying on a firearm form in 2018. the plea deal collapsed in a public way in july. special counsel david weiss indicated in a court filing that diversion agreement is null and void hence the reason hunter was indicted and likely go to trial on gun charges. the recent court filing -- in a recent court filing he is looking at potential tax filings against hunter in washington, d.c. or california where he lives. all the chaos on capitol hill has nothing to do with the d.o.j. part of the hunter biden investigation. back to you. >> sandra: david spunt on that. thank you, david. [shouting] >> >> bill: the largest healthcare strike in u.s. history is underway spanning several states and thousands of kaiser permanente workers walking off the job. what they are demanding now. check it out. there is this. >> kaiser has the resources and opportunity to fix it.

the fact that his attorney abby lowel said let him appear by video conference because he's in californiaink it's notable that they came back and said, the prosecutors said, no, he has to be in court and the judge ruled that way so that he is treated like other defendants would be treated. what do you say? >> i think that's why the judge did it, so it would not look like favoritism. it wouldn't look special. however, if it was anybody else, sort of average person whose name we never heard of, the judge might have allowed a remote hearing. i think there's a bend over back ward effect. for example, these three so-called felony charges, i shouldn't say felony charges. they are felony charges. yes, they're felony charges. but they're almost always reduced to a misdemeanor. they're almost always have no jail tile. almost always end up in diversion for first offender and he is a first offender. but here it's really important to look like he's not being treated any better than anyone else. what that turns into is he may be being treated slightly worse than anybody else but it's an effort to look

even though abbe lowell, his attorney says both sides meaning the government and his team signed the deal. special counsel david weiss says it is null and void. do not forget the tax charges. special counsel weiss he would likely refile the tax charges in washington, d.c. or california where hunter biden lives. on the gun charges. we talk about a lot of charges. on the gun charges he could face up to 25 years behind bars. could because he does not have a prior felony record. harris. >> harris: all of it is shorthand for it will be a while for hunter biden and his dad. leo terrell, attorney and fox news contributor. leo, let's start with what hunter biden is facing. it isn't about him. it is really about what leads to his father, then vice president and some of the things that they are looking at, too, are current with the president being in office right now. just what he knew, when he knew it that sort of thing. >> absolutely. so the gun charge has nothing to do with joe biden. it is the tax charges. it is the possible conspiracy of sex trafficking, harris. there is a variety of thin

abby lowell, the lawyer for hunter biden, has promised to file a motion to strike the charge on thatd i think after the bruin case, he's got a strong chabs of succeeding on that basis. >> some are worried their strong push could actually help hunter biden escape this particular charges. thank you as always. >>> still ahead on "way too early" we'll take an early look what's driving the trading day after the dow dropped more than 400 points yesterday. why investors are now worried and what this could mean for the housing market. we'll explain all that when we come back in a moment. n all thae come back in a moment. >>> welcome back. it's time now for business and for that let's bring in cnbc's joumanna bercetche. the stock market took a real dip yesterday but yond yields continue to rise as the latest jobs report shows employers have significantly more openings than anticipated. give us your read of the lay of the land and what we might expect today. >> well, john, it's been a bit of a bumpy ride. as you said yesterday we saw all the three major stock markets end in negative territory.

now, the students come from galileo high school, lowell high school and other high schools in the cityn on the steps of city hall for a press conference in morning. the school is empty at this hour, it is still too early. we will keep an eye on how the morning unfolds, because students are calling for mass walkouts of not just high schools here in the city, but also nationwide in protest to the killings of palestinians in gaza and they are also demanding an immediate cease-fire. they're adding their young voices to the calls for a cease-fire on this ongoing war that is claiming thousands of lives in israel and gaza, and displacing hundreds of thousands. the walkout comes in the wake of yesterday's blast at the hospital in gaza city. the blast, which we've been talking about this morning, killing hundreds of patients and civilians seeking safety. now, hamas, which controls gaza, says an israeli air strike caused the bombing. israeli officials say one of the rockets fired at israel by palestinian islamic jihad went off course and may have blown up an armed depot hidden by hamas at the ho

those students are expected to come from galileo high school, the school behind us, lowell high schoolvisor hillary ronen on the steps of city hall around 10:00 this morning, before the walkout that they are calling for. now, the school, as you can imagine, is still empty at this hour, and it may remain so in large part because, throughout the day, students are calling for a mass walkout of high schools, not just here in san francisco, but nationwide. that's in protest of the killings of palestinians in gaza and to demand an immediate cease-fire. they're adding their young voices to the ongoing war that is claiming thousands of lives in israel and gaza and displacing hundreds of thousands. today's walkout comes in the wake of yesterday's blast at the hospital in gaza city, killing hundreds of patients and civilians who were seeking safety. hamas, which controls gaza, says an israeli air strike caused the bombing. israeli officials say one of the rockets fired at israel by palestinian islamic jihad went off course and may have blew up an arms depot, hitting the hospital. hundreds reacti

if i'm walt nauta in the whole other case, the classified documents case, hugo lowell tweeted he now is scheduled to decide whether he wants to waive hirights to conflict-free counsel and keep his trump pac financed lawyer who acknowledged for the first time he may be constrained at trial. walt nauta is the low-level employee who is charged with donald trump in the classified documents case. if you're walt nauta and starting to see people, it's a separate case from you, but big time people with money, pleading guilty to crimes related to donald trump, is that an incentive for you to maybe say, maybe i get off this trump train too? >> i think so. i think you see this happen all the time where you have got a united front of defendants who in a case have said we will never plead guilty, we'll never cooperate. we're defending our innocence. as the trial dates approach, you see some crack in the unity. and then once one falls so often so many others fall as well. now, you know, these two cases are separate. but walt nauta is watching what's happening and seeing it happen and has to be thi

hunter biden's main defense attorney abbe lowell indicated they will be asking the court not just toow out the charges, we can all expect that, but also asking for an hearing, and why is he asking for that, i think to show everybody what actually went down between hunter biden's team and doj with that deal that fell apart. so, that will be one to watch. very interesting. >> john: so again, this idea of where we were eight weeks ago compared to where we are now, again raises the spector of how were they thinking of doing a diversion deal on the gun charge and then a plea deal on the two x at that misdemeanors, which led a question to merrick garland on "60 minutes" on sunday, whether there is a two-tier system of justice. here is how he responded to that. >> we do not have one rule for republicans and another rule for democrats. don't have one rule for foes and another for friends. don't have one rule for the powerful or powerless, other one rule, follow the facts and the law. >> john: looking at how the hunter biden case was originally handled, though, it's very difficult to take wha
