this according to republicans from signer and former deputy cia director, signer of that letter, mike morrelnken's call, you didn't have any intent to write this statement? morrel: i did not. question: so his call triggered? moral.. i'd did it, yes. >> question. that intent in you. moral: yes, absolutely. democrats point to this section of morrel's testimony where he said, when he called you did he suggest you write a letter? he said he asked me what i thought. here's blinken's response to this. it's important. he's now the secretary state. this was an exclusive interview with fox state department correspondent benjamin hall yesterday. watch. >> well, first, one of the great benefits of this job is that i don't do politics and don't engage in it. but with regard to that letter, i didn't -- it wasn't my idea, i didn't ask for it and didn't solicit it. i think the testimony that the former deputy director of the cia mike morrel put forward confirms that. >> do you accept the laptop is not russian disinformation? >> again, from my perspective, i'm not engaging in politics. i have a lot on my ag

he says according to mike morrell, the c.i.a., he was the impetus. now, the secretary of state is saying it wasn't his idea. somebody else comes up with the idea and you participate in drafting the letter, which may be, we don't know, or you are out there pushing to get the 51 people signing up on it, then you are pretty much ingrained on this. senator johnson from wisconsin asked some very direct questions when he was going to be confirmed. i think the rub right now is he lied to congress. he lied to the united states senate in order to secure his position and get the votes necessary to become the secretary of state. >> harris: you know, jason, when you look at this total picture, you put it so succinctly. hunter biden has now brought on a new wave of difficulty for himself through this whole i've got to prove that i make far less money than i did and i didn't really make money off my heart work. because of that, money around hunter biden is a key issue. the original money, though, had to do with the shady business deals with countries like china. t

what do you make of him contradicting former cia director mike morrell who testified blinken did helphe let rear before the 2020 the election -- letter, falsely claiming the hunter biden laptop story was russian disinformation? what do you make of the secretary of state here? >> he was very careful at his words. he deceived but he didn't lie are. what he said was he didn't solicit it, he didn't ask for it. he can't say i didn't sell it, i didn't market it, i didn't not circulate it. he was using the former that he hadn't been solicited. the fact is he did, in fact, sell it, he did promote it, he did work for the campaign, and mike morrell agreed to be on it because he wanted to elect joe biden. he was honest enough under oath to say so. elizabeth: so, sam, what the congressman just said, secretary of state is prettying concern splitting hairs here, choosing his words care friday to appear that he's not misleading. but senators chuck grassley and ron johnson sent a letter to the secretary of state claiming he did give false testimony to congress denying in testimony he knew whether hun

when an adviser to joe biden in campaign and called mike morrell and testified under oath that blinken'scuss the story about the laptop, was the impetus, what triggered him to get that letter written. and antony blinken with the article and that the fbi investigating and all of this a lie. and john ratcliffe, then the dei, came out saying there is no evidence that this has anything to do with russia, and a russian plan and disinformation. and in response to adam schiff and others of the 51. fanning out across the media to say this looks like a crimlen plot. >> thank you john and miranda, when we come back the fbi refuse to comply to a subpoena of a scheme involving president injured -- ♪ ♪ mom! mom! every day can be extraordinary with rich, creamy, delicious fage total yogurt. this mother's day, show mom that you worship the ground she walks on. or in this case, stands on. the new anti-fatigue comfortmat from weathertech is a gift she'll appreciate all year round. it makes standing comfortable in the home or office and comes in a variety of colors and finishes. and for mom's vehicle, the

maybe that's because the biden campaign it turns out orchestrated the letter with the help of mike morrel. according to new reports, in an e-mail, he told another ex-cia chief, john brennan, that the purpose of the letter was to help joe biden in the upcoming debate, help him with a talking point. meanwhile, earlier this week, a shocking new claim from a whistle-blower against the big guy, joe biden, himself. here's oversight committee james comer. >> we take our whistle-blowers very seriously. there's been two very credible whistle-blowers come forward. we're doing everything we can to protect these whistle-blowers and to try to encourage more whistle-blowers to come forward. we have credible evidence and we want to know exactly what the fbi did to verify this. >> talk about a foreign national. do you know a country this foreign national is from, a. and b, talk about the exchange of money for policy decisions. do you know how much money and what the policy decisions were? >> i know the country and i know the policy decision. i'm not at liberty to say right now. >> kelly anne: so as the j

the testimony that the former deputy director of the cia, mike morrel put forward confirms that. >> dana attorney general eric holder is weighing in. he says fbi agents complaining the investigation is taking too long. holder says there's nothing to see here. >> jeanine: what is taking so long in your view? >> i don't know what is going on in terms of the investigation. i'm confident that it's being conducted in an appropriate way. you know, the person that was handling the case who was the chief investigator is a u.s. attorney appointed by the former president. people here in washington d.c. tend to keep their hands off of those cases and allow the people in the field to simply run their course. >> dana: jesse, take either one. the antony blinken answer or our friend eric holder. >> jesse: so morrel is cia. he says that he had nothing to do with the letter and he went back and changed his testimony and said actually lincoln told him to have the letter don. blinken said i didn't have anything to do with anything. >> dana: hey, that looks like russian disinformation to me. doesn't it to y

in his interview he says mike morrell's testimony somehow proves that was not the case. blinken does not explain how he can make that claim saying he doesn't want to get into politics. house oversight republicans are very interested in testimony relating to a number of their probes right now including that one and also including one in independence county, arkansas where he sought to lower child support payments to lunden roberts. the mother of a 4-year-old girl he fathered. hunter's legal team says biden had a material change in his income and lunden roberts testified before a grand jury in delaware last year as part of a federal probe into the biden family finances. listen to this. >> this has the potential to be very helpful. first of all, what in fact is his income from his artwork? and who the buyers are? that's the most important part. secondly, we want to know if hunter biden has any off shore accounts. we learn more every day about the complex scheme that the biden family had to try to disguise the source of the revenue. >> lunden roberts team argued hunter biden

the one i'll be worried about now is mike morrell. mainstream media. you start watching.y'll start protecting blinken and this because they don't like the process. you have it right. d.o.j. can do this right now. why doesn't d.o.j. do it? >> once again if republicans have it let them call a hearing. >> harris: we'll move. i can't wait to bring you back. thank you. the receipts, now subpoena, go for the president. you heard it from a democrat on this show. all right. chicago's crime crisis keeps getting worse. new numbers show just a small percentage of murders are getting solved in the city. is that because there are so many of them? plus the situation in san francisco is dire. laura ingraham with a first-hand look. >> it has been something that help keep me alive and helps me not think about some of the trauma i've been through. >> we can't be the only solution. until people want to make these hard decisions this will continue to happen. >> harris: massive retail stores are pulling out. they say it is too dangerous to do business there. stay close. stay close. >> woman:

didn't do, he didn't say what he kid co, and what he did do was he was key to this along with mike morrellthe difference is under oath morrell has told us what he did unapologetically. he wanted to get biden elected, he was willing to do this, he shaved the truth and he old us now who did it. -- told the us now who did it. the secretary of state, blinken has not been under oath, and it's time they come and raise their right hand so we can have some level of confidence that what they're saying they understand is at the penalty of perjury, something we believe brinken and the president have committed -- blinken and the president have committed. elizabeth: congressman, former ci ark director john brennan is testifying coming up, also former dni james clapper. what do you want to the ask these two? >> well, we want to take the accumulation of whistleblowers and facts we've gotten from earlier and ask them specifically the same sort of questions; why did you do it and what, if any, evidence did you have to support the claim you made since it turns out it was false? and, of course, did you at th

and uh, i think the testimony that the former deputy director of c, i a mike morrell for ford confirms that go after someone close to the biking campaign, went around and generated this letter, you know, gathering former intel officials and others to sign this letter. we then saw joe biden, citing it as evidence in debates the latter that his campaign essentially generated . let's take a list of 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what this he's accusing me of is a russian plant. they have said that this is, has all the car for 5 former heads of the c i age. both parties say what he's saying is a bunch of garbage. so we have a situation where the department of justice and the intelligence community is being utilized for partisan political purposes. and there have been congressional investigations revealing that to be the case that a story that was true was lead and presented as simply rushing propaganda. rushing this information and the forces that came up with this claim to debunk what was a true story about the hunter by laptop were doing so for political reasons, for

what's sprosecuto astonishing as of this is how easy it i was for mike morrell to round up 50 liars in the intel community. >> more than happy to deceive the american people, helped joe biden get elected basedelec on a lie they completelyte invented a false claim thatente the laptop was russian disinformation. >>thlse cl without a scrap ofhoa actionable intelligenc se, nohep discussion. just sign your name and will help conceal biden corruption.kn so it's no surprise that a biden campaign was secretly behind this. tony blinkend, thi. e hi and the confessed purpose was to give him a talking pointnoug, to use in the presidential debate. >> they were dumb enough, believ te it or not, to put it all in writing. >> so these unprincipled, unscrupulous people like brennan, clapper, leonople, panetta, they helped the bidensh cover up their get rich schemeew with foreign adversaries doing what is essentially the sellinih out of america. none of them have any regrets, never apologizing. this is one e ofof the dirtiest tricks in american politics. and you're right, the lie was pivotal. polling dat

mike morrell confirms that. >> todd: joe concha joins us. bold testimony to invoke morrell. says he wasn't the impetus of the letter. >> joe: antony blinken is classic dc swamp, blinken says he doesn't engage in politics, you worked for the biden campaign to get this job as secretary of state. you were the impetus behind the letter from the former intelligence officials that insisted hunter biden's laptop -- finally admit the laptop was not russian disinformation, but real, belonged to hunter biden, he ducked that question, as well, saying, i'm not political. please. since we have media compliant and serves for this administration, he will not be asked by other news organizations and therefore will get away with it. >> ashley: that was my next question, do you think we'll see anything come of this? blinken said he never e-mailed hunter biden, messages from may of 2015, show exchange between the two attempting to schedule a meeting. this implicates him, he is saying one thing and receipts show the complete opposite. >> joe: this is not he said, she said, sources close to the

it was a political operation from top to bottom, instigated by the biden campaign and mike morrell, themer assistant cia director and now we have learned that the cia agents were actively involved in soliciting signatories to the letter which is confirmation that there was a deep state and it was weaponized against preston trump. >> kayleigh: it must be frustrating and gratifying to see the new york times and npr and all those publications now recognize that you are correct and they have their tails between their legs. jon levine, thank you. karine jean-pierre had another wild day at the podium. will break it all down for you. stick around, up next. ♪ ♪ sal. and tonight, sparks are gonna fly. kyle? and while romeo over here is trying to look cool, things are about to heat up. uh-oh. darn it, kyle! and if you don't have the right home insurance coverage, you could end up paying for this yourself. sorry mr. sanchez! get allstate, and be better protected from mayhem, like me. that's a hard no. ♪ ♪ >> kayleigh: we promise to hold what has press secretary karine jean-pierre accountable for h

mike morrell put forward confirms that. >> house republicans say morrell's testimony shows a call fromed that letter. democrats say it's nonsense and accuse republicans of cherry picking morrell's interview. >> bill: breaking news that happened a short time ago. russia claims ukraine tried to assassinate vladimir putin. moscow saying it thwarted a ukrainian drone attack on the kremlin. that is the video on screen. calling this a terrorist act, threatening retaliation. the u.s. says it is trying to verify the claim which ukraine denies. robert o'brien, former u.s. national security advisor. your timing is pitch perfect, sir. thank you for being here. antony blinken is doing an interview right now with the "washington post." he said cannot validate the reports about a drone strike. he also said anything that comes out of the kremlin you must take with a large shaker of salt and again we simply do not know. if you were to fly a drone from the ukrainian border to downtown moscow and hit the kremlin, you would have to travel about 500 miles. what do you make of the early reports we have on

he said he had a conversation with mike morrel about it and he said that inspired me to put this letterion about hunter biden's business dealings. there's been a huge question obviously about whether or not those business dealings and the money he got for them led to any policy decisions that were made by the biden-obama administration as sort of quid pro quo for those payments. there's a form that has been filed, a whistle-blower form, christopher wray said that the fbi won't release that very important document. here's why he said they will not. watch this. >> i would refer to the letter, which is i think quite detailed and goes through fair amount of discussion about our proposed approach. >> i do want to confirm the document does exist. the fd-1023? >> i can't get into the specifics. >> martha: so senator grassley has a whistle-blower who says it does exist. the fbi director would not confirm that. what did you think of that, congresswoman? >> so that form, that 1023 form that director wray and senator grassley were talking about does exist. what i have heard and what i have seen is

they told mike morrell here are the journalists you want you to tell first. why not be straight with us and come clean? why not tell us the truth? tell the american people the truth? they deserve that from their government. again, the fundamental question is what did they do to warrant the receipt of millions and millions of dollars? why did joe biden's brother, sister-in-law, son, why did so many family members get the money? what did they do to warrant receipt of that money? that's the fundamental question chairman comer and the team have done great work and determined to get answers to those fundamental questions. >> want to thank the committee and staff for all the time pouring through these documents. now we would like to entertain questions and i want to begin with the fourth largest newspaper in the state, who i read somewhere was banned from the white house. we'll start with the "new york post." >> thank you, chairman comer. it's good to have an opportunity to ask questions, too. i would like to ask you two questions. first about the investigative nex

and that is that mike morrell, orgaact, told john brennan in october 2020 that he's organizing this letter of fifty on intel experts. by the wayblinke, tony blinkenet led the effort about the biden laptop being a russian influence operation because he wanted to give joe biden's campaign, quote, a talkinguote point to push back on donaldtruu trump during the lastt presidential debate of the twentye of 20 election. that doesn't sound like intelofi officials caring aboutal the truth or caring about p telling the american people the truth. e they didn't listen.a the cia director's is an exclusive small club. people that this countryrusted trusted to run our entire intelligence apparatus, they derive their credibilityr b from the american people foril the trust that we placed in them. we, the american trus taxpayers, gave them the responsibility ofy running the most powerful spery agency in the world.th and they took those bona fidesyn and they took those credentials . this letten twr shows this emait between two cia directors to try to create a political outcome in an election and thee portray
