host: we last set of hugo lowell. front page of the wall street journey. they say colorado is not central to trump's electoral prospects. a number of similar challenges have been filed in other states. they note that. colorado not central to his election. your question about what happens on the general -- and the general election is a good one. hugo lowell is with the guardian, a political investigation's reporter joining us on the phone. before we get to that question, break down the decision here. four justices says he's disqualified from the primary ballot, three disagreed. guest: i think it's important to remember we have a stay on this ruling pending trump's appeal. trump made clear he will appeal to the supreme court. as things stand trump will probably be on the primary ballot in colorado, which is the practical indication in all of this -- implication in all of this. the supreme court will certainly hear the case. the question in which order with respect to the other cases before it and how quickly it is going to rule. with the 14th amendment issue

he is putting abbe lowell is a very effective communicator. he has the public perception that he knows the case because he is hunter's lawyer and putting the best spin on everything for hunter while, i would add, vigorously defending joe biden in the process of doing all that. >> bill: on that point, andy, democrats might be watching this and cheering the reaction here. and -- >> dana: he fights. >> bill: i don't know if it's a legal question yet but did hunter biden win this round, andy? >> well, we're not at the end of the game yet, right? i do think there is some funky stuff that goes on on capitol hill. these fellows are going away on vacation in a couple of days, right? so it seems to me like they have gotten their scheduled screwed up. the sensible way to do this, if you were going to actually have a vote for the impeachment inquiry, is to vote for the impeachment inquiry so that you have it as, you know, the constitution imposes impeachment authority in the house, nifty the speaker. so you need the house to vote for it. there is a good

also, you know, abbe lowell has a reputation for being a real bulldog.has represented jared kushner and ivanka trump, and so he does not discriminate in his clients. and so he has sent a letter noting that he had asked the prosecutors in these who brought the charges most recently to sit down with him, and they have denied that meeting, so he is going to go to route of selective prosecution, vindictive prosecution, and tha >> trying to undermine the case in that way. caroline polisi, thank you. >>> donald trump is set to take the stand in the civil fraud suit against him. his attorney says that he tried to dissuade him from taking stand, but says that he insisted. kara scannell is outside of the courthouse, and what can we expect monday? >> well, john, donald trump is taking stand in his own defense, and as you remember, he already testified in the case, and then called by the state attorney's lawyers, but this time, he is going to be questioned by his own lawyers, and they will be setting the table about what he wants to talk about and he will have lati

abbe lowell saying they would choose hunter biden's bubblegum. shapley, a whistleblower, said the opposite, watch. >> there were definitely hindrances i've never seen before in my 14 years concerning this investigation that did not allow us to follow through investigation of any other individual to include president biden. most substantive felony charges were left off the table. >> kayleigh: was he targeted because of his last name or gotten special treatment? >> emily: he's been enjoying immunity and impunity the rest of americans do not enjoy. the whistleblowers got blowback, their professional careers and lives were destroyed. abbe lowell can do this as part of his role and shape how america views this person. end of the day, it didn't matter what hunter biden spends his money on, but there are co consequences if it is illegal and does not pay taxes. intentional use of influence pedalling affects evamerican. americans see him getting away scott free and i took note when he made it about himself and if we only care about him being an addict. no

abby lowell thought he had a plea previously. the judge asked some very good questions, and the plea fell apart. so here we are again with another indictment. generally you would try to work it out, because this is an unfortunate situation with somebody who had a crack addiction and all the taxes are paid. >> republican oversight chairman james comer said he thinks u.s. attorney david weiss indicted hunter biden to actually protect him. listen to his logic on this. >> my concern is that weiss may have indicted hunter biden to protect him from having to be deposed in the house oversight committee on wednesday. >> what do you think about that? >> yeah. i don't see that at all, because, in fact, hunter biden was willing to testify in public, and republicans said, no, we want him in a deposition. then prior to testifying in public, he gets indicted. now the advice to him will be, you cannot testify, because you have a fifth amendment privilege and you need to assert it because there's too much risk for you to testify. >> how do you s

i think abbe lowell has an interesting point to say that the plea deal fell apart.s a couple of misdemeanors, and this is a whole lot more. what happened in that time, i think that's a fair question. what i didn't get as an answer from him just now, tom, was whether or not hunter biden was sober when he was filing those returns, when he was attesting that the expenses for the hotels, the health care for the girlfriends, the student university payments for his daughter, et cetera, whether they were actually business expenses, whether he was sober when he attested that they were business expenses, which i think is a pretty explosive refusal to confirm or deny. >> it speaks to the crux of the seriousness of the charges in this indictment versus that plea agreement. i think you're absolutely right, katy. i noticed and we were trading notes here in the commercial break that it seemed that the discussion from abbe lowell today is about whether or not this indictment should have been filed and why and not specific to the allegations. and when you look at the allegations to

>> abby lowell's point of view and hunter biden it's a pretty good strategy.awyers in washington dc have to wear multiple hats. on the one hand, they have to try and keep their clients out of legal trouble. keep them from going to jail so that's one critical job of a lawyer and other critical job of a lawyer when you're dealing with high profile client like hunter biden, son of the president, is you have to understand there's a political -- public relations component to this and anything that makes hunter biden look bad could school over and make his father, the president of the united states look bad and we're in the middle of impeachment inquiry and investigation and with that in mind, there's a major pr political component to this kind of legal process and it's not just like representing somebody that nobody knows about and you're only worried about keeping them out of legal hot water and here you have political and pr components that has to be kind of walking on the fine line and abby lowell is an excellent lawyer for doing this and how will this play out?

so, abbe lowell is banking on the congressional side of this going away.t comes to hunter's court filings and the federal felonies in terms of tax evasion and other things down the pike, that is something you can't necessarily get out of in terms of a p.r. stunt like you saw today. >> john: the contempt issue, there is precedent, peter navarro and steve bannon -- >> that would require not to be a double standard. a test for the department of justice but given the past couple of years i'm not confident they will have the same standard for hunter biden as they have for associates of the president. >> john: katie, you think there are double standards in washington? >> i think there may be, based on the evidence we have seen. >> john: you burst all of our bubbles. great to see you. >> sandra: john, thousands of illegal migrants surging into the u.s. day after day and with them potential domestic terror threats from extremists and the chaos in the middle east. paul mauro is here on set. he is up next what needs to be done to protect americans. >> john: plus the

giving abbe lowell, the son of the president's attorney until monday to answer but we suspect abbe lowellnd say hunter biden will appear but only appear in public. john. >> john: all right, the disagreement will continue and see if the doj does anything about it. david spunt for us, thank you. >> he has no business running for president and you know, gavin newsom agrees with that. he won't say that, but that's why ease running his shadow campaign. >> one thing in closing that we have in common, neither of us will be the nominee for our party in 2024. >> sandra: ok, those were a couple big moments from last night, fireworks during that debate between florida governor ron desantis and california governor gavin newsom. jessica anderson, president and former executive director of heritage action, and kevin walling, democratic strategist and former biden campaign surrogate, wholly qualified to say about the last comment. >> i loved it. i thought it was a great debate. we were talking before. i thought sean hannity did a fantastic job, they covered so much ground, from abortion, to immigration,

abbe lowell, all due respect, don't tell me nothing has changed here. what has changed is the fact that hunter biden is being held responsible and accountable. this is not a guy who filed late returns, this is guy who didn't file returns. for everybody, including associated press whos he was an addicted son, his tax failures were post-addiction issues, so stop with this, he's a druggie. how smart, i couldn't take out $1.6 million from a bank account where i do my banking. he was involved in human trafficking, money laundering, he was a foreign agent, none of that was filed here. this is lipstick on a pig. they took the same charges and told us everything about the dirtbag's lifestyle, referring to hunter biden. people are making sure there is same justice for you as everybody else in america. one final thing, that is for those who say, joe biden has nothing to do with this. you have james comer and congress trying to do what the department of justice and the fbi should be doings, 327 e-mails, with joe biden using a pseudonym instead of his real name con

host: we last set of hugo lowell. front page of the wall street journey.hey say colorado is not central to trump's electoral prospects. a number of similar challenges have been filed in other states. they note that. colorado not central to his election. your question about what happens on the general -- and the general election is a good one. hugo lowell is with the guardian, a political investigation's reporter joining us on the phone. before we get to that question, break down the decision here. four justices says he's disqualified from the primary ballot, three disagreed. guest: i think it's important to remember we have a stay on this ruling pending trump's appeal. trump made clear he will appeal to the supreme court. as things stand trump will probably be on the primary ballot in colorado, which is the practical indication in all of this -- implication in all of this. the supreme court will certainly hear the case. the question in which order with respect to the other cases before it and how quickly it is going to rule. with the 14th amendment issue t

one more quick point, abbe lowell says it cries out for an investigation. but you know what?point of how it happened and what transpired, that is not really something he's going to be able to do in a normal trial. so it is not as if he can litigate that before a jury in los angeles. >> then you have folks saying this is actually good for the bidens. some members in the field of the 2024 run up to the white house, james, cuomo chair of the house oversight committee claiming that the special counsel is biased towards hunter biden. and indicted him in order to shield him from being deposed by the committee. what do you make of that theory, harry, that criminal charges carry the potential of years in prison for hunter biden as a favor to him from the doj? >> ridiculous, exactly as it sounds. on this separate issue they want to behind closed doors say let's do. it but in the open, i think they are going to have trouble getting contempt forward. but of course this is throwing the hammer at him. this is now the fight of his life. to the extent that you pause, where this makes it loo

now, abbe lowell, hunter biden's attorney, says if his last name was anything other than biden the charges in delaware and now california would not have been brought. after five years of investigating with no new evidence and two years after hunter paid his taxes in full, the u.s. attorney has nine new charges when he just agreed months ago to resolve this matter with a pair of misdemeanors. the plea deal with the government, john and gillian, fell through in a public way in july after a delaware judge questioned house republicans and they insisted this was a sweetheart deal, with one that lawmakers, including house oversight james comer was reacting to the california indictment. he says unless weiss looks at everyone, it's clear the doj is protecting hunter biden and the big guy. hunter biden plans to take these charges to a los angeles grand jury, or los angeles jury, i should say, hunter has lived in l.a. for the past about six years, and he could face up to 17 years behind bars if convicted on everything. this is in addition to the delaware gun charges that he's fighting. this may put

lowell got 10,000 people to sign the petition. then then there's the boycott effort of margaret lamont, the prominent socialite who organize the murder boycott association. it's not a very big group. lamont won to get american women to boycott japanese and so, not to buy nylons anymore until japan totally leaves china. and she had some minor success. she got the philosopher john dewey to support the movement. but she got nowhere with new york's leadingnt department stoe laurent and taylor. then there's a proposal of a very important private foundation, the 20th century fund, which offer designs for the gradual application of sanctions against any violator of the kellogg antiwar packed. now before i go on let me add that stimson occasionally flirted with the idea sanctions, but this iss a verb i want to stress. he flirts with it. in my own assertion of this stimson papers and pressure groups can i find stimson neither really, or never really endorsed the idea. he doesn't pushh it. he's no stanley hornbeck. but he wrote a book about

in a statement his attorney abbe lowell said the charges would not have been bought. biden says the pressure comes from the republicans' intent to undermine his father. >> they're trying in the most illegitimate way but rational way, they're trying to destroy a presidency, so it's not about me. in their most base way what they're trying to do is they're trying to kill me, knowing it will be a pain greater than my father could be able to handle. >> reporter: the indictment does not include any evidence linking these alleged crimes to president biden, but gop lawmakers continue to push forward with their impeachment inquiry and pursuing an interview with the president's son. >> my concern is that weiss may have indicted hunter biden to protect him from having to be deposed in the house committee hearing on wednesday. >> reporter: that theory doesn't pass muster because hunter biden was already facing charges in delaware. now, certain members of that committee are insisting that first he has to do a deposition in private before they would agree to a public hearing. so th

we're not engaging with you again even if you have a new attorney, in this case abby lowell this timeund. so it's very clear already that they were not interested in further discussions, that they were going to bring this indictment. we have no indication that the biden team was given any sort of heads-up. i'm not talking about the white house speaking specifically to hunter biden. no indication that they had any sort of a heads-up that this was coming. i think they learned about it from reporters. the white house says they were not told in advance as well, so i don't know how strong that relationship is to your question, chris, and i don't know if there's going to be a real -- you know what, let's all get together and work this out because i think they feel like they've been down that path before. so what will ultimately happen here, i think, still remains very much a question. and of course you have to look at -- looking at the indictment, the types of witnesses that could be called, the types of things that could come out in a trial that might be personally embarrassing to hunter b

and, gloria, you have this, and then you have the hunter biden legal team, abbe lowell in particular, his lawyer, saying u.s. attorney weiss bowed to republican pressure to file unprecedented, unconstitutional gun charges to renege on a nonprosecution resolution. now, after five years of investigating with no new evidence, two years after hunter paid his taxes in full, the u.s. attorney has piled on nine new charges, which he wanted to resolve months ago. the argument is we had this sweet deal, it fell apart. effectively, i'm paraphrasing here, the reason they're going after him legally right now is because of political pressure from republicans. and nothing has actually changed in the interim. >> the history of this, as abbe lowell points out, is con convoluted. there was a deal, and then it fell apart. the judge questioned it. it fell apart. and then the prosecutor said, well, make me special counsel, because i've have broader jurisdiction. he gets to be a special counsel, and suddenly you have charges in delaware, the gun charge, and suddenly you have the tax charges, even though,

hunter's attorney abbe lowell said if hunter's last name was anything other than biden, charges in delaware and california would not have been brought. he continues, after five years investigating with no new evidence and two years after hunter paid taxes in full, u.s. attorney piled on nine new charges when he agreed to resolve this matter with a pair of misdemeanors. that was the plea deal that fell apart in a public way. the nine charges are in addition to federal gun charges biden is facing in delaware and in both cases, he's ready to take chances on a jury and could go to trial in delaware and california the same year his dad is running for reelection. back to you. >> carley: david, thank you so much, bring your conversation back to the couch. i don't feel like giving advice to hunter. don't take those charges in front of juries, i've spent enough time in prison to know those in tax evasion or fraud, it is because they went before a jury. if you take a plea deal, you are eligible for early release. if hunter did a fraction of what is alleged, he is facing a long road ahead. >> average

in trouble i would hire abby lowell but he's wrong here. look. the truth of the matter is that he had a plea deal that even the department of justice could not justify, even the department of justice one question said there is no precedent for anything like this so abby with due respect don't tell me this is that nothing has changed here. what has changed is the fact that hunter biden is being held responsible and accountable. this is not a guy who filed late returns. this is a guy who didn't file returns. and you know what? for everybody including the associated press who says well you know he was an addicted son i'm here to tell that you his tax failures were post-addiction issues. first of all i couldn't take out $1.6 billion from the citibank account where i bank. he was involved in human trafficking money launder, he was a foerng agent, none of that stuff was filed here. this is nothing more than lipstick on a pig taking the same charges and tell us everything we knew about this dirtbag's lifestyle, meaning hunter biden. no one is tryi

and his attorney abbe lowell who is rather famous here in washington as a very pugnacious defender initically charged cases, he represented a whole host of high profile political people, it is very much saying that this is political. like we're only getting charged with this because the last name is biden, that is what he said. how does the white house -- how will they view that strategy especially when they are trying to run a campaign basically saying the legal system is credible in its charges on -- against donald trump. >> i think it sets up this false imagery where trump saying this is rigged, it is a witch hunt, and you have hunter biden not running for re-election or president and doesn't speak for his father saying the system is rigged against me, this is a r witch hunt. and you don't have president biden saying that. but it does again sort of politically or, you know, maybe to the american public, both sides saying this is rigged against me, it is a witch hunt. and i think that is complicated for president biden. what we'll see is house republicans are pushing a resolution ne

abby lowell said las night, this is all material of the special counsel has had for five years.no new evidence and yet now we have nine new tax charges. geoff: the indictment does not allege any connection to or involvement by president joe biden. hunter biden's attorney said in a statement, if his last name were different, the charges would not have been brought. is he right? what an average citizen face charges like this especially after hunter biden paid back the taxes? >> there are certainly other avenues for resolving cases like this. many cases are resolved in such a manner. this is up to the justice department and what prosecutors can point to is the fact that there were four years in which hunter biden was supposed to file taxes in which he had money in order to pay this tax and instead of doing so was spending them on personal items that should have been going to the u.s. government. geoff: what consequences does hunter biden face and when with the case start? >> he faces up to 17 years imprisoned if convicted on all counts. there's no indication when all of this will g

we couldn't get an answer out of hunter biden's lawyer abbe lo lowell. everybody reporter in d.c. probably called him. but he won't say -- they do have cameras set up inside the committees if he shows up today. not sure it will happen. as you noted, he is in town. he is just -- no one knows whether he will go to the hill. now, there are two types of contempt congress could pursue against -- the house could pursue against hunter biden. criminal contempt and civil contempt. criminal contempt, justice department would have to bring charges against hunter biden. he is already under indictment in delaware on a gun issue. he is in indictment in california on a federal tax issue. so very likely that the biden justice department will go after hunter biden criminally on contempt. now, they can sue hunter biden in civil court, federal court in a civil case that would take time. that is what the whole argument will be about, whether hunter biden can drag this out beyond the end of this congress. which is a possibility. he could drag it out for a while. so there are

what do you think of his statement clearly crafted with the help of his attorney abbe lowell whom you know well. >> well, number one, i do think what he said as a matter of substance is accurate. house republicans have tried and tried and spent the past ten months attempting to connect joe biden financially to hunter's business, and on all of these issues, loans, the law firm, the business in ukraine with a private chinese businessman, they failed. some of these allegations that they've looked at that have not panned out go back to the first impeachment that i worked on that joe biden somehow ousted a ukrainian prosecutor wrongly. no. that was the unanimous consent position to get rid of mr. shoken of the european union and the united states of america. the idea originateded there. so and it's been so inadequate that there's really not a legal predicate. there's not a basis to open an impeachment inquiry and there is a big bipartisan report kate, with a former gop federal judge, a former gop member of congress who said look, they haven't met the threshold. so i have to agree with hunt

well judge, i think you disagreed with hunter's attorney there, abbe lowell. i got to tell you, if i were ever in trouble, i would hire abbe lowell. but he's he's wrong here. look the truth of the matter is that he had a plea deal that even the department of justice could not justify. even the department of justice, when questioned by judge neroca , said there's no precedent for anything like this. so, you know, abby, with all due respect, don't tell me that, you know, this is that nothing has changed here. what has changed is the fact that that hunter biden is being held responsible and accountable. all this is not a guy who filed late returns. this is a file who didn't file, a guy who didn't file returns. and you know what? for everybody, including the associated press, who says, well, you know, he was an addicted son, i'm here to tell you that his tax failures were post addiction issues. so stop with this. he was a druggie. i mean, first of all, how smart. i mean, i couldn't take out $1.6 billion from a from a citibank account where i do my banking. i mean,

. >>> hunter biden right now on capitol hill taking the stand and that's his attorney abbe lowell. >>ppreciate you all being here. good morning. i'm here today to answer at a public hearing any legitimate questions chairman comer and the house oversight committee may have for me. i'm here today to make sure that the house committee's illegitimate investigations of my family do not proceed on distortions, manipulated evidence and lies. and i'm here today to acknowledge that i have made mistakes in my life and wasted opportunities and privileges i was afforded. for that i am responsible. for that i am accountable. and for that i am making amends. but i'm also here today to correct how the maga right has portrayed me for their political purposes. i am first and foremost a son, a father, a brother and a husband from a loving and supportive family. i'm proud to have earned degrees from georgetown university and yale law school. i'm proud of my legal career and business career. i'm proud of my time serving on a dozen different boards of directors. and i am proud of my efforts to forge globa

abbe lowell was asked if hunter filed a false return, what did she say? answer. the government says it's clear that hunter filed a false tax return and did not pay his taxes, writing in the indictment in part, between 2016 and 2020, the defendant, meaning hunter biden, spent this money on drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels, rental properties, exotic cars, clothing and items of a personal nature, everything but his taxes. these charges were not really a surprise because special counsel david weiss said in a court document in august that he would likely charge hunter for tax crimes in california or washington, d.c. he chose california because the statute of limitations has run out in d.c., and hunter has called it home since 2018. >> did he file a false return? >> did he file -- >> i'm ending where i started. yes or no. >> it's not a yes or no. because you want to drill -- no, of course it's not. in order to file a false return that's actionable, the following things depending on the statute has to occur. it has to be willful, deliberate, hunter

this was a statement from abbe lowell about this indictment. he said "based on the facts and the law, if hunter's last name was anything other than biden, the charges in delaware and now california would not have been brought." many people would probably argue if his last name was anything other than biden they would have been in jail a long time ago, brett. >> brett: yeah, i think unfortunately he put a period when he should have had a comma. it should have said would not have been brought so late. they -- look, i have a different take than almost everything that's been reported on this case. one, he's not facing 17 years. these are not going to stack, these are misdemeanors, all going to lump in with one serious felony if convicted of maximum, is not what he's sentenced to. that would be five years, the maximum, on the particular evasion count. he would be facing probably 18 months, john. and at that, at that, remember, the prosecution is going to be able to control the sentence in this case. so, i wouldn't think too much about the length of

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

i'm curious what you think about abbe lowell said. if his name wasn't biden he wouldn't be -- he wouldn't have seen this indictments in delaware and california. seems ironic. david weiss has done a big 360, 180. >> is job as the defense lawyer is to make his case. it flies in the case of i.r.s. whistleblower testimony which was going to this question of he got special treatment. if his name was biden it wouldn't have gone down this way. the point why didn't he take the plea deal, two misdemeanor counts. plus last month october the indictments on the gun charges plus these. why didn't he take that deal? he is looking at a harsher penalty. it is because he wanted the investigation walled off into just taxes and guns. they don't want to get into these questions. the latest emails raise why was hunter not registered as a foreign agent? we've got new windows into the burisma work. no one is surprised. not because he was a natural gas expert, they weren't asking him about his expertise in corporate governance. it was influencing washington

>> he has an excellent lawyer, abbe lowell, and lowell knew he was going to lose in the court of law.couldn't prevent the senate, the house in this case, from interrogating him first in private, then in public. that's a losing argument legal arely. but i think they thought it was a winning argument in the court of public relations, and they may be right about that. the american public wonders why not allow him to testify in public. let us all a hear what he has to say. so is i suspect he's going to continue to talk in order to try to win the case for himself in the court of pluck opinion. now, obviously -- public opinion. now, obviously, if daddy call as and says, no, stop that, he will probably stop it. but at this point in time, i think president biden's trying to stay out of the case involving his son. especially since, you know, his son may very well be prosecuted for failing to comply with the subpoena the way some republican operatives have been prosecuted for failing to comply with a subpoena. you have to have one law for all. you can't have preferential treatment for a democra

. >> hunter's lead attorney abbe lowell responding this afternoon. >> he has well stated many times thatthe depths of his addiction, something that american families have somebody either in their family or they know is not behavior that he is proud of, but it doesn't make him into a tax felon. >> a plea deal with the government fell through in july after a delaware federal judge questioned what house republicans insist was a sweetheart deal that would have given hunter biden probation but no jail time. the government went back to the drawing board and filed the charges. first in delaware for alleged firearm crimes, in addition to the california tax charges. in a podcast, recorded earlier this week. before the indictment, hunter said he expects his problems to continue, thanks to his critics. >> i stopped hoping for an end to this because as long as my dad as president of the united states, they are not going to stop. >> as of now, hunter plans to fight these charges and take these chances with a los angeles jury if convicted on all counts. rich, he could face up to 17 years behind bars.

lowell has said he intensified -- he intends to file motions to dismiss that case.ndication at this point that hunter biden intends to fight these tax charges. geoff: npr's ryan lucas, thank you for joining us. we appreciate it. ryan: thank you. ♪ geoff: for more on the political implications of the new charges filed against the president's son and other major news, we turn to the analysis of brooks and capehart. that's new york times columnist david brooks and jonathan capehart, associate editor for the washington post. good to see you both. let's start with the latest legal trouble facing hunter biden with the important context that hunter biden is a private citizen. he does not work in the white house for his father in the way jared kushner and he ivanka trump did. -- and ivanka trump did. the indictment does not implicate joe biden, yet this will add to the problems for the white house as republicans zero in on hunter biden's dealings as part of their own investigations. >> which have been going on for years. they have been using the president's troubled son to

and that's abby lowell's defense for hunter biden who evaded taxes for four years.'t it kind of an irony that the biden administration is asking for a lot more money for the internal revenue service to chase people who are evading their taxes, and when gets caught in the net that exists? hunter biden. hunter -- if you -- i would urge people, read the text of of the indictment. it is a stunning document. i mean, it is really an incredible bill of particulars. and it does go into the details of how hunter was making his money and the deals with burisma and ukraine, the romanians and the chinese, the chinese companies that were paying money to him or to his counterparts, all of which he was putting in the bank and then simply declining to pay his taxes. and politically, i would say polls have been running between 60-70% that most people do not want either biden or trump to run for president. this ought to push that number about a 70%. i think it's a big political problem for joe biden. paul: kate, just on the merits here, this, of course, was not the original part of t

i want you to take a listen, though, to hunter biden's attorney, abbe lowell, and what he had to say all of these charges. watch. >> what happened between june 20th and yesterday? the facts didn't change. they are exactly the same us they were. the law didn't change. so, you have to ask, what changed? what changed was the enormous political pressure that was put on the u.s. attorney when he made a deal that was appropriated for what the facts and law showed to him deciding, i don't want that any longer. >> that reception to these charges have been interesting. for example, from james comer, who is leading this investigation, into hunter biden, he was leading some of these aspects of the impeachment inquiry into his father, the president, have been really interesting because comer himself, on one hand, credited the two irs whistleblowers who came before his panel with these charges. but, also blasted them saying they don't go far enough, they were given to protect president biden. again, though, it's important to reiterate the committee has not yet found any evidence linking hunter bi

i think abbe lowell, who's gonna make his political argument, if you will about the special counsel and registered republican or not, i don't know if i'm buying that piece. but i do have a similar question about what changed from june to now. what changed? >> embarrassment on the part of the justice department and the special counsel. they had an ultra high profile case, they were set to plead it out, and it went down in flames during the plea because the judge asked some very common sense questions, and the prosecution wasn't ready for it. so, now, it sounds like according to the attorneys in the letter they wrote, that the special counsel won't even meet with him, which is kind of the usual thing to do before indictment in standing off the indictment. even jack smith met with donald trump. >> exactly. now it really sounds like he's really just punishing hunter biden because out of an embarrassment of the plea deal gone bad, sure he has evidence, obviously biden did not deny not paying the taxes, but a lot of the indictment really reads salacious lee. quoting from the memo war, saying

hunter's attorney, abby lowell, said in a statement based on the facts and the law, if hunter's last was anything other than biden, the charges in delaware and now california would not have been brought. the charges come as hunter biden is refusing a subpoena issued by chairman james comer to sit for a deposition behind closed doors this thursday, insisting instead on a public hearing amidst new evidence of a memo from 2018 of a bank manager reporting uncurable and erratic activity in several accounts owned by hunter biden with an initial $5 million payment from communist china with no business services rendered, something the bidens claim was a loan from china. joining me right now in a "sunday morning futures" exclusive is byron donalds, a key member of the house oversight committee, florida congressman. byron donalds is here. congressman, thanks very much for joining me this morning. >> good morning, maria. good to be with you. maria: in terms of that deposition scheduled for thursday, do these new charms, this indictment against hunter biden, does that mean that he won't show up
