i mean, you heard what abbe lowell your reporting, what abbe lowell is saying? hanging in a statement where does it go from here well, he stands trial is set to stand trial next month in los angeles on charges that he evaded taxes on millions of dollars in foreign income, including income from this ukrainian gas company, burisma, that is the entity for which he sought this meeting italy that we write about in this story tonight, that said prosecutors are not currently charging him with violating the foreign agents registration act, which requires it anyone who lobbies the u.s. >> government on behalf of a foreign principal register as such, with the justice department. now the prosecutors have suggested that they have evidence instead, he reached out to the u.s. government on behalf of foreign clients. they didn't specifically mention this one instead, they were focused in a filing last week on his work on behalf of romanian real estate magnate, reaching out to the u.s. embassy in romania. so it's really unclear as to whether any of this stuff because going to m

in a new article that is getting a lot of attention, joining me now, hugo lowell.ore correspondent for the guardian. hello, my friend. as of now, hugo, there will not be a live audience. microphones will be cut when a candidate is not speaking. and no written notes will be allowed. how does the trump campaign view all this? >> well, the trump guys are thrilled. the number of times i've uyhad text messages over the past week in all caps, saying cnn rules, cnn rules, i think it underscores the extent with which they were really adamant and really believe they needed the same rules as when trump es took on biden in that debate. and i think some of the reasons are kind of varied. there is obviously the element of they don't want trump saying things out of turn that might be too caustic for some voters, but i also think there is an element of the trump campaign thinking harris might have been particularly good at doing little quips and as the trump campaign calls it, having a sassiness. and i think they're worried it to an extent that that could throw trump off his game

lowell weicker, a republican from connecticut, really interesting member of the committee. he he pursued a kind of side investigation. he actually had his own investigatory team, which ruffled some feathers on the committee from time to time. but again, he was a appalled by some of the allegations and evidence that they uncovered over the course of the investigate. and he would often, in his role as a republican, take a stand and say, you know, what's happened with this administration is not with the republican party stands for he could be a bit of a wild card, but ultimately he was committed in his search for the truth. kate scott would you call any of the members of the watergate committee hyper partizan, or were any looking for political advantage? yeah, i think that edward gurney might best fit that category. he was a republican from florida. he was strong, early partizan. and to the extent that i think he allowed his partizanship to interfere with his pursuit for the truth, i don't know that he ever broke from his support for president nixon, even when all the evidence

obviously girl goes is los angeles based, but abbe lowell has been spread pretty thin across this moreitigious approach that hunter biden and his lawyers have been taking filing lawsuits against him tractors again, to criminal trials in one year, but we've also learned that there were some initial discussions before geragos came on about trying to reach a deal with a special counsel to resolve this case and avoid trial. and we learned those didn't yield anything significant at this point. there's no indication that they will reach a plea deal and they are preparing to go to trial with gaya here it goes, as the lead attorney, but there is another issue out there hanging over this whole case, and that is the fact that the defendant's father is the president of the united states, and he could potentially get a pardon or commutation. now the president has said repeatedly that he will not pardon his son or commute his sentence but let's remember that was before he stepped aside and said he wouldn't run for reelection. and it's really hard to contemplate a situation, right? where president b

this way, especially with this ukrainian company involved and a lawyer for hunter biden didn't abbe lowellid say to the times that there was no meeting that ever actually occurred. there was no project that materialized. and of course, crucially, jon hunter biden has been investigated for years and has never been charged with any illegal foreign lobbying activity. and there's nothing where we have found his father doing anything it could have helped him whenever he was sitting in the vice presidency, john katelyn polantz. >> thank you so much for sharing your reporting. great to see you this morning. sir. >> i will take i saw sarah's over there. i know my defense defense, he's over there. you're over the debt to it. you have to get up, get your ticket vegetables before you get your dessert the economy remains gotten me remade this. you'd ever won among voters this election very clearly, both harris and trump campaigns are trying to make the case that they're the better to handle it today. donald trump will make it make his case to voters in asheville, north carolina, and then kamala harris

fox has reached out to hunter's attorney, abbe lowell. lowell told the new york times, quote, no meeting occurred, no project materialized, no request for anything in the us was ever sought and only anti introduction in italy was requested. also, the timingy was here is notable. after biden dropped out of thele presidential race, his administration released the records showing his son soliciteadminid the u.s. governi assistance while joe biden was vice president. te istance the new york times repow that the biden administration has withheld these records for years. rachel, thank you so much. >> all right, aliens and william shatner next. let's secrets lie hidden in the shadows of our world to guys like you. >> tell me what if alien life isn't out there, but right here with us, do you believe that our government is in possession of weapons? >> absolutely. join me for a fox nation original as we reveal startling mysteries unfolding right before our very eyes. >> aliens among us streaming now on fox nation, all part of fox files on fox natio

i'm as lowell introduced. i'm a senior andonment department. i'm joined here with my colleag paul gray. and we're here to give you sef program. and i'm going to turn it over to karen. you hoped tothe fixed lead program. thank you. commissioners. my name is i'm a senior environmental health inspector with the the health department in san francisco. and i have worked for the last 33 years, since the inception of the lead program. that the lead program can partner department in doing and implementing fixed lead sef. not only do paul and ryan bring proper construction skills for the project, they also bring knowledge of how to use environmental, environmen protect the environment while we'r lead poisoning. so right now i would like to for the fixed lead sef program. so concern? well, lead is a toxin forildren and adults but children tend to get lead poisoning more often they get the lead in their body more stick non-food items in their mouths. so since l not have any use for lead whatsoever lead that goes into our body is considered a poison. and t

say a lot of young men being targeted with gunshot, we're in see the, to the told us sold today, lowell, him. and that was certainly on purpose that they ended disability and also to a factory production. and that, you know, that was awful to say i'm, but i think overwhelmingly when you say children of all ages suffering her feet, chests and abdominal injuries require and multiple operations requiring starting the bags, having broken limbs that are going to close disability for life. you know, this is, you're not saying soldiers coming into the hospital, this is a complete destruction of full civilians are being affected. we also, we spoke to before the show and you described the horrific conditions um, in terms of just operating in gaza. and when you talk about the horror of the clinicians, we have a video here to share with our viewers and then get your reaction. take a look into the thoughts we have. we have most of the agent now with the company that dr. bush are all we have to blur as a lot of video because it is very graphic, but i wanted to get your take here in, in just what is

lowell was the voice of all the newsreels. world war two. so you went to a movie, got your newsreel first? yeah. little thomas. and you got those newsreels and apparently he created the myth of lawrence of arabia or something. did he write something about where should be paid for that, if that's the case? yeah. but anyway, we were fortunate to be last week in savannah georgia, which is the home of the mighty eighth air force museum. we to go into a b-17 and walk b-17 and b 24, obviously was a different plane. but the one thing you notice when you go into these planes, there is no room, no, it's too much. it's like a submarine. it is incredibly. i went on the foundation was flying around b-24 and he landed near us. just went on the plane. nothing? no. ten guys, no equipment, no bombs, guns, no smell of fear, no blood, no vomit. i was like, oh, my god, it's so in here. and i came on my call. my father was went on the b-24, a really small plane, and he said, we thought it was big. and then you realize if you're born 1924, lindbergh flies ocean

tending to urgent matters in the senate, that night as a surprise, mom told me, lowell and hunter tor. i remember polling up to the amtrak station, writing up the escalator to the platform. the train stops, doors open and dad steps —-dash dad steps out. as soon as i saw him, i ran down the platform and jumped into his arms. like magic, mom brought out a cake, they sang happy birthday and i blew out the candles. dad hugged me and he said he had to get back to work. he crossed to the south bound train and off he went to d.c. that was a snapshot of one moment of one day on this extraordinary journey of being joe biden's daughter. [applause] joe biden is the oh g girl dad. [cheering and applause] he told me i could be anything and i could do anything. as a child, i would sit on the leather chair in his office doing my homework and he would sit next to be doing his work drafting the violence against women act. [cheering and applause] he was not just a girl dad. i could see, and he was not just a girl dad, i could see he valued and trusted women. [cheering and applause] how he listened to

we mentioned hugo lowell. let's bring in the senior political correspondent for "the guardian" out with the new piece, top trump advisers out with turmoil. hugo, good morning. let's continue the conversation. jon just mentioned, two well-regarded political operators at the top of his campaign. are their jobs in trouble? >> look, the sharks are circling. and it's been a bad enough month, previous month for the trump campaign that there are -- it's real and perceived, i think, starting to look at the trump leadership team. and really start to tell trump, you know, you got to get rid of these guys, and you got to reset and you got to do it now. and the meeting that, you know, consistently comes up in kind of people's minds around the campaign is the second meeting that happened between trump, laura carrie anne conway where they discuss strategy positions. conway told us she did not talk about titles or mention any names or said that anyone should be fired. but the takeaway from that meeting for the leadership is

abbe lowell telling the "times," quote: no meeting occurred. no project materialized.n the u.s. was ever sought and only introduction in italy was requested. congressional republicans who for years have investigated the biden's business dealings say the timing of the document dump is suspicious as it came shortly after president biden dropped out of the 20 # 24 race. the "times" says it sought the documents for years. but officials deny any political malpractice. >> i would not read into anything into the timing of these foia processes are long robust processes, and they are frankly independent of what else is happening? in the world. >> hunter biden will be back in the spotlight next month. he will be in los angeles facing charges of tax fraud. in june he was found guilty of three felonies for lying on a gun application. he faces up to 25 years in prison for that case alone. bret? >> bret: mark meredith in the white house briefing room. mark, thanks. >> you guys have got to stop giving her a honeymoon and pretending she is something she isn't. >> she is going to hide

. >> brian: abbe lowell came out and said no meeting occurred. no materialize dollars.request for anything in the u.s. was ever sought. only an introduction. nice spin. >> ainsley: hunter's lawyer tells the "times" that the meeting never happened. and the white house says that president biden did not know about his son reaching out to the embassy. >> lawrence: clueless. >> ainsley: who appoints these ambassadors? it would be barack obama and joe biden, their administration. >> steve: here's the thing, these documents have -- this letter, this letter, which by the way, when the "new york times" got it, it was completely redacted. it was just completely blacked out. when the "new york times" got this, this so happened to be right after joe biden had dropped out. >> lawrence: coincidence. >> steve: apparently it had been withheld by the biden administration for years until the "new york times" did a foia request. a freedom of information act request. and they wouldn't give it. and then the "new york times" sued. so the "new york times" has been working on that, and that's

fox has reached out to hundreds attorney, abbe lowell. lola told "the new york times," "no meaning occurred, no project materialized, no request for anything in the u.s. was ever sought, and only an introduction in italy was requested." of course the president said many times he was not aware of hundreds business dealings. >> i did not know he was on the board of that company. >> i have never discussed my business or their business, my son 'his or her daughter's. >> of a never discussed a single thing with my son about anything to do the ukraine. >> i've never spoken with my son about his overseas business dealings. >> i've never discussed with my son or brother or anything else anything having to do with their business, period. >> a white house official referred us to hunter biden's personal representatives. dana? >> dana: this is going to be a big story. even "the new york times" is expressing suspicion about those documents being released after biden pulled out. thank you. >> some convenient reporting, huh, my lady? alex murdaugh might

with deep religious convictions in politics but then because and i don't want to sound too here but lowell -- globalism is converging around a progressive morality one of which that these people billions of people think of s. a fundamental threat and so i think the only way to solve this problem is to get knee-deep into the ideas that are driving a lot of these behaviors. in the book i look at chinese confucianism and sunny work. the only thing i think the thing to do is to meet the people who articulating the ideas that are being used in the wrong way except that we'll have to reason about the issues from the inside that inhabit these views that are radically different from ours and then make the most progress we can against the abuses but we have to begin by accepting these kinds of impulses that are spiritual and political beings and people will draw those together and the global conversation about proper free orders is going to have to part with the theological conversation so i think that's where i would begin by saying what they got to understand the different ideas and the different

this guy is nicholas lowell's blouse.on't know how to pronounce his name, but he said that there were muslim women who were being sprayed with acid by the white thuggery. and this guy is mr anti—white thuggery. and that bit of information. hope this fomented by hope not hate has been denied by the cleveland police force up in the northeast, not in not in america. and it's just it's so funny because this guy has been like , he's guy has been like, he's spreading hate. this is total hate. >> a terrible, terrible mistake, isn't it? we'd like some fact checking going on here, don't you? >> yeah, absolutely. i mean, it's first of all, it's a it's a very good thing that this crime doesn't look like it happened, which is great. so that's a relief. but at the same time, it's a completely incendiary thing to spread. if it didn't happen because obviously that's going to rile up people , and going to rile up people, and there's almost certainly going to be some retaliation from this. >> well, this is it, isn't it? and hope not. hate

was convicted on gun charges in delaware back in june, and that trial he was represented by abbe lowellrward, they actually have a new lead attorney for this upcoming trial that brought on l.a. based attorney mark geragos. now, one of the reasons lula stepping aside is because he's spread pretty thin with all the other litigation that hunter biden has brought against some of his detractors, part of his new more aggressive strategy that takes a lot of time and it takes a lot of money, something that hunter biden doesn't have much up. as they go into this trial. it's important to report that they actually tried to resolve this with a plea deal. we learned that there were talks between the special counsel's office and hunter biden's lawyers about trying to negotiate a plea to avoid the second trial. that is especially significant because all of these legal issues were originally supposed to be resolved with a plea deal. that of course fell apart spectacularly when it was supposed to be signed off on by a judge, resulting in the president's son facing these two trials. but as of now, are so

infrastructure around him as the people that took hunter biden to trial in delaware, would that is abby lowell, another very high profile lawyer. so there's a shift here happening for hunter biden as he heads into this trial, the second trial, where he could risk a conviction that would be quite significant on top of the gun charges that he's also convicted already and kaitlan, there's also this new reporting coming from the new york times that hunter biden asked the state department for help on behalf of ukrainian gas company burisma, and this was at a time when his father, joe biden, was vice president. >> what are you learning yeah. >> we're learning all of this now that his father is no longer running for a second term in office, the state department is releasing some information obtained by the new york times that hunter biden back in 20 16 when he was a board member at this ukrainian gas company, burisma, he reached out to folks in the u.s us embassy in italy and wanted some help. he wanted some networking for burisma and they, they balked pretty quickly. the internal information that th

i want to get right to hugo lowell, a senior political correspondent for the guardian, and tim parlatore is cnn legal commentator and former trump attorney alright, just looking at it. first of all, to orient the conversations, we knew this was going to be litigious. we knew that neither party had a real shot of getting a trial in 67 days it seems though you go neither are asking for a trial to happen before that. but the real headline is neither are asking to have that event. sherry hearing. we often heard about the mini trial before that date, either it seems are arguing that this should be done on the papers for the judge to determine immunity. and what is official on the papers? blown. explain. >> yes. i think i think several points, right. number one, the schedule that has been laid out by trump because this is a joint filing. trump laid out his position in the government's latest version. the trump schedule basically kicks all of this past the election. they have shoehorn, this little appointments clause filing in the middle to get themselves past november 5 because they don't i me

we also expect to hear from the trump team according to some reporting from hugo lowell of the guardiank any evidence sharing needs to happen at all, that this can just happen on the papers. we will see that report on the 9th. on the 16th at 10:00 a.m. judge chutkan is back in control and the lawyers will appear before her then. >> all right. joyce -- go ahead, jonathan. we were trying to get your shot up. are you there? >> i am here. i am still here. >> good. >> joyce, a similar question to you in terms of is there any chance in your estimation that this trial could still happen between now and the election? and, you know, what role do you think the supreme court immunity ruling plays? >> right. so there's absolutely no chance this one is getting to trial, jonathan, and that's because the way the supreme court structured this decision, judge chutkan will make her rulings and if she permits any of the charges to go forward, any of the allegations in the indictment to remain in place, indicates that the government can use any of this evidence, despite trump's claims that it's all now clo
