to draw a stark contrast of what the house republicans are focused on and what the -- >> the oversight committee james comber is going to gavel in and what he says. >>> this is rashid tlaib to the committee, and congresswoman tlaib has been a member of the house -- [ applause ] -- congresswoman tlaib has been a member of the house in 2019 and before that served in the house of michigan, and she is a familiar face in the committee and spent the first two terms in the oversight committee and she replaces congresswoman mallet of vermont, and i want to welcome back congresswoman tlaib, and i ask congressman raskin to welcome back tlaib. >> i would like to thank the congressman for welcoming back rashid tlaib, and thank you favored congresswoman from michigan. and welcome back. >> i would like to ask jason smith to be waived on the committee for purposes of asking questions. without objections, so ordered. >> mr. chairman, i ask unanimous consent that the congressman from iowa glenn ivy be admitted to ask questions. >> so admitted. since our taking over as the majority, we have been looking into how

the oversight committee doesn't work on the appropriations process or the budget. on the budget committee and the leadership team for the house freedom caucus. i'm focused on the budget battle. i don't have responsibility with the impeachment. we have dozens of committees. we can walk and chew gum at the same time. we owe it to the american people to investigate the most corrupt president in the country. he lied to the american people in the last election to secure their vote. that's been proven. they changed the narrative. they no longer say he didn't know about his son's business dealings. well, he wasn't officially in business. we have emails. we have text messages. we have audio recordings. we have eyewitness testimony. we have travel and visitoverwhe. we should impeach him for the biden family crime activities. >> to call it the biden crime family without evidence -- you have accusations -- >> you are lying there. you are being dishonest to say there's no evidence. this is evidence that would be admissible in any case when you have texts, you have emails, testi

you sit on the house oversight committee, we don't have time to play the sound, but the ranking membern, he is very forceful about the strategy that you all have been employing. talk to me a little bit about the strategy. i know you have all been having meetings and are you aware of any communication between donald trump and house oversight republicans? >> well i think it is obvious if you look at the evidence, you know, you have got comer and others, mccarthy going in front of tv cameras. really using this as a moment to defend donald trump. there are political pandered, their party leader has only won charges against him, and here they are trying to trump up fake allegations after there has been extensive review of evidence and absolutely no evidence that there is even a reason to bring an impeachment. in fact, we know that mccarthy doesn't have the votes within his own party because republicans who are serious about governing won't bring charges. so, you know, clearly this is a political stunt. clearly it is meant to provide cover for donald trump who is their only hope. and they ar

impeachment himself, oversight committee chairman james comer.know his face because he's been all over fox and cnn, utterly failing to support his corruption claims. what you probably didn't know is this guy has his own past questionable behavior. recent profile "the new york times" reported he was accused by a former girlfriend of hitting her in 2015 and taking her to a clinic for an abortion. an account that was supported by her roommate at the time. he denied it. it doesn't stop there. in an effort to stop the reporting on those allegations, comer allegedly distributed unlawfully obtained emails between a reporter and a source. a fact he admitted to "the new york times." i'm not sure how legal that is, but maybe he would like to take up an impeachment inquiry to find more facts? folks, this is the delta force of jus it is in house of representatives. most of them are millionaires. some real and some made up. and while these members chase down -- these members chased trump down the qanon rabbit hole, they're turning their backs on years of actu

joining me now, jasmine crockett of the house oversight committee. thank you, as always, for coming to the saturday show. in an op ed yesterday, congressman ken buck, a freedom caucus member who's in the judiciary committee criticized the impeachment efforts saying what's missing despite years of investigation is the smoking gun that connects joe biden to his narrative well sons corruption. congresswoman, you know this, i know this, surely mccarthy knows this. so, why did he call for biden's impeachment despite it? >> he has no spine. oh, my goodness. i am here for it. mccarthy has no spine and no control. we saw this on day one. he could not actually become the speaker. in historic fashion, it took 15 votes. listen, we also know that mccarthy knows that he doesn't have the votes. he doesn't have the votes to do anything in this government. he decided specifically not to take this matter of an impeachment inquiry to the floor. he knew he couldn't get it passed. he knew people such as can buck would not vote for it. a former prosecutor who was being ho

in his testimony before the oversight committee, archer a great the biden family name helped him and dealings with foreign businesses including -- paint hunter biden to be on their board. however, in closed-door testimony before the committee, here is what he said about whether he knew of any wrongdoing by then vice president biden. the transport, by the white, was published but republican-controlled committee. question, are you aware of any wrongdoing by vice president biden? answer, no. i'm not aware of any. question, so based on everything you saw, heard, and observed, did you have any knowledge of joe biden having any involvement with --? >> no, no direct. no. question, no involvement of joe biden -- answer, no. that was the star witness who may have maintained a not-so-fluttering picture of president biden but also supplied no evidence whatsoever that his father did anything wrong. which takes us back to speaker mccarthy and his 2019 tweet complaining about nancy pelosi's decision to launch impeachment proceedings against the former president of ukraine. quoting this time from 0.

really said is that the three committees, ways and means, judiciary, and the committee i served on now as the ranking democrat oversight will continue doing what they've been doing. he's not forming a new impeachment committee, and the oversight committee is supposed to be leading but each one is going to do their own work. and so i think that very quickly the matt gaetz, margery taylor greene caucus is going to grow frustrated. they're also in this rule or ruin mind-set really hoping to get the republicans to drive the economy into a ditch and to shut the government down again, which of course they did a few years ago. so we'll see whether mccarthy will actually be able to subdue, you know, the tumultuousness going on within the republican conference. >> you really believe the republicans want to drive the economy into a ditch for political purposes? because when there's a government shutdown doesn't it hurt the folks on capitol hill who -- who made it happen? >> well, you know, i'm not sure that you can always rationalize the behavior of the maga caucus. they're constantly pushing for the most extremist and fanatical

democrats on the house oversight committee are preparing for an active defense of president biden, as their evidence free impeachment inquiry. nbc news reports that the ranking member on the panel, congressman jamie raskin, has held several strategy sessions with his fellow democrats this year. and the very latest meeting, which took place just last week, raskin told members to prepare for a bruising battle. but according to politico, the white house isn't too concerned about this inquiry. quote, in the white house's eyes, the gop is moving headfirst into an impeachment inquiry that has no evidence of partisan actual wrongdoing, no process, no timeline, and no requests for interviews. to that, it all suggests that the house gop isn't prepared to make a convincing case to their own moderate members, let alone the broader american people. joining me now is a member of the house oversight committee, democratic congressman robert garcia of california. congressman, great to have you back on the show. you know, let's kind of delve into this a little bit. what discussions are taking place ri

plus, democrats months for fighting back after speaking with -- of the house oversight committee. and then, fani willis's case live and in color, the critical importance of broadcasting this week's hearings in the georgia election trial. i'm ayman mohyeldin, let's get started. all right, tonight there is new reaction from to top democrats to house republicans impeachment inquiry inquiry. the inquiry that was launched with no formal vote, no outstanding evidence of wrongdoing, and no hope of being taken seriously by the american people. here is former house speaker nancy pelosi, on msnbc earlier. >> impeachment is deadly serious. this is a remedy that our founders put in the constitution, to for a rogue official. they could foresee would have a rogue president of the united states they, couldn't foresee that we would have a rogue president, and a rogue senate, a rogue congress. but nonetheless, for them to use this in a frivolous way and that they are, it's really a disservice to our country, into our constitution. >> all right, let's recall what that robe president was, was actual

i think it is consistent both in the ways and means committee and in the oversight committee. miss connor, my question is yesterday the ways and means committee voted to release additional information provided by gary shapley and mr. ziegler. one of the documents shows that assistant u.s. attorney leslie wolf ordered investigators not to pursue leads into possible campaign finance violations. we know that over $2 million of hunter biden's tax liabilities were paid off by a big democrat party donor and hollywood lawyer who is named kevin morris. james biden, the president's brother, told investigators he did not know how hunter biden even knew this individual. but was later asked to thank him for the payment, quote, on behalf of the family. the biden family. the family. so how would such payments that essentially pushed under the rug the president's son's tax problems, at least for one year, be considered a campaign finance violation on part of the biden campaign? >> thank you for the question. i have no idea. i thought you were going to ask me why would leslie wolf not look int

impeachment inquiry hearing we're seeing republicans launch who have got all three committee chairman in the room from oversight, ways and means and judiciary. all of these committees have been doing their own investigations into various aspects of the claims that they're trying to present today. but this is the first under the official banner of the inquiry that was blessed by speaker mccarthy just a few weeks ago. i think what is going to be important for us to remember and we have been pointing this out as we have gone along, unlike the january 6th committee hearings, which, of course, were the last ones that our audience probably tuned into, in high supply, this is not going to be a consistently presented narrative because you have minority members from the democratic side like jamie raskin continuously seeking to fact check in real time and disrupt the narrative process that some republicans are attempting to provide here. but what's interesting is that in the opening statements from these witnesses, you got most of the witnesses who are here today presented by republicans, one from the democratic minority

i'm fifth in seniority in the oversight committee, and have seen the evidence. through the eyes of an investigator. and although i respect my colleagues, anyone that disagrees about that we should righteously move forward with impeachment, is not grasping the significance of the evidence. we already have. and we are getting more, as the days and weeks unfold. 0ur investigative effort continues, and is quite productive because bank records are... it is like gold for investigators. there is no republican bank records or democrat i want to move on because we do have to talk about the fact that the government is due to shut down, essentially, if congress does not take action by the end of the month. would you support a continuing resolution to keep the government funded and give congress more time to come up with their spending deal? not under the current circumstances, i would not support a continuing resolution. we require a more comprehensive agreement with leadership. when i say we i mean the most conservative amongst us demand, respectfully, but we demand a lar

uncover the details in the house oversight committee. important that we do that for the american people. maria: do you believe joe biden change policy to favor china as a result of getting all this money from the communist party members? >> what we have seen so far the president changed his story, he told us his family received no money from china, we heard him say he did not discuss the business dealings with his son then he said there was a wall in between his son and him when it comes to business and we have proven the house oversight has proven that is wrong time and time and time again. the president was absolutely on the phone talking about business and the president withheld a billion dollars from ukraine until they fired a prosecutor investigating his son hunter biden. the connections are clear and importantly we received testimony from irs whistleblowers who said they saw a connection between the corruption, the shell company, the money in the president but they were not allowed to pursue it because the justice department shut t

house oversight committee subpoenaed the department of homeland security over secret service documentslp explain why hunter biden was allegedly tipped off about a forthcoming fine interrogation. with the warning that interview never happened and we also learned a justice department official met with the irs whistleblower gary schlafly's and seemed to be interested in the allegations before turning around and talking to hunter's attorneys which resulted them cutting that sweetheart deal with hunter. the white house is reportedly developing a war room to deal with fallout from investigations which could result within impeachment inquiry and into impeachment. we reached out to dhs for comment on comer subpoena and background and official told us they're working only comer's request and never obstructed or with held response. okay. with a preview what can be expected house judiciary chairman jim jordan oversight committee chair james comer. can you explain when this doj official james comer met with the attorney for gary schapply before he testified before congress in light of the letter t

joining us now chairman of the house oversight committee james comer.od to see you don't. now, hunter's attorneys are saying that the whistleblowers do not have the traditional immunity from civil suit because of their supposed wrongful conduct against him. your response? >> well, that is simply not true. the whistleblowers have protected whistleblower protection. democrats in congress used to care about that they use to file bills and pass bills to encourage whistleblowers to come forward. that's exactly what the two brave whistleblowers did who testified before my house oversight committee. but what we are seeing now in real life form is witness intimidation by the biden legal team. they want to send a message to any other potential whistleblowers out there do not cooperate with this house oversight committee, this investigation or we will sue you and see that you are liable and have to pay out your entire life savings for simply telling the truth. >> congressman, also on a separate note, abbe lowell, one of hunter biden's attorneys is out there claim

on the eve of the first impeachment hearing, the oversight committee published more than 700 documentsthe biden clan in ukraine in china. in particular, a letter to shokin’s successor as prosecutor general, yuriy lutsenko, demanding that he stop accusing burisma of criminal activity in the media against burisma and its president zlachevsky; the letter on burisma’s letterhead was signed, among other things, by hunter biden. member of the holding's board of directors. it’s still the first day of hearings, but there ’s already a whole lot of evidence and published documents library. fresh payments from china from a certain jonathan lee. they contain an interesting amount - $250,000 - and the recipient's address indicated by hunter. the delaware home of the father, then a candidate for us president. who is jonathan lee? and this is the one for whom hunter arranged a meeting with his father, then vice president, during a visit to china. during the debate in 2020. joe biden denies any contacts with chinese comrades and businessmen, but chinese partners, unlike ukrainian ones, have not yet co

based upon the constitutional parameters of the house of representatives, do you agree that oversight committee, judiciary committee and ways and means committee should be judiciously investigating reasonable suspicion of impeachable actions by president joe biden. >> i do. i think it is your duty to get answers to these questions and to see if the president was involved in what i think is a confirmed corrupt influence peddling effort. >> thank you, mr. chairman. my time has expired. i yield. >> recognize miss garcia of california for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman, begin by recapping what we have seen so far today. democratic colleagues have done a great job showing there is absolutely 0 evidence linking president joe biden to any wrongdoing, 0, none. the hearing is a complete waste of time, two days before a maga government shutdown and we also know hunter biden never held any sort of public office and there is no evidence that he ever influenced any kind of policy in the white house. there's no evidence that he and his father's finances were ever linked and we have spoken to many w

that is why we have irs, that is why we have an irs criminal division, that is why we have oversight committee, that is why we have an ethics committee, that is why we are supposed to have a judicial system in america, that provides equal justice for all. but, we have to work together and we have to be honest and we have to respect our checks and balances. what we learned today and, as troubling as anything, is that your investigation that you spent years of your life on that we have spent six months investigating, where you see a pattern of suspicious activity, where money flows from shady foreign companies and from shady foreign nationals through shell companies that are then laundered. that is according to six different banks in the suspicious activity board, laundered down in a mental payments to the biden family for things that we have no idea what they did to receive the money. as part of that years long investigation, the fbi is sitting on the whole time a document that alleges joe biden and hunter biden took a $5 million bribe from a ukrainian oligarch, where there are bank records tha

he serves as the regular on the oversight committee, and he joins me now.essman raskin, first, your impressions of how things went today? >> it was a meltdown for the republicans, obviously. they advertise to the world that they literally have no facts and no evidence that would justify impeaching president biden for, bribery or other high crime misdemeanors. and their own expert witnesses attested that fact, as well. i think that was the part that shocked them, that we were able to get their witnesses to say that there was not remotely significant evidence that would justify impeaching president biden. in the meantime, we are careening towards a terrible government shutdown that will spread massive pain and hardship and excited throughout the entire country. one of the things you might notice if you are watching the hearing, chris, is that all of the democrats were there for the vast majority of the hearing, and the republicans began to de-camp a very quickly, and it was empty on their side of the aisle for long periods, for big stretches of it. >> let me

. >> the oversight committee recently reviewed a nonclassified document from the a buy i on the form used by the fbi to memorialize information related to it by a confidential human source the fd 1023 form was created in june 2020 and it's not a tip sheet or a hotline or a suggestion box but a legitimate source used by the fbi and it was used here. mr. shapley, did you ever review the june 2020 form with information about president biden or hunter biden? >> i did not. >> i did review the form and there are startling allegations and it. what would you have done if presented with this piece of evidence regarding this potential stream of income? that have constituted another area of investigation? >> since i have never seen the document, i only know what has been reported. i can say that there was investigative steps that involved president biden that were not allowed to be taken and the information like this would have been really helpful to have from investigators by investigators when we received any pushback or when we were asked to take names or document requests or search warrants

so, they were able to issue subpoenas anyway as the oversight committee or the judiciary committee. what this does is it's a kinds of an overlay on all of that that allows the biden administration to say this whole thing is illegitimate and mccarthy knows it because he would not put it to a vote, and the point that you made and i think chad made earlier is still a sound point, which is -- if they don't have the votes to open an inquiry, why should biden think they should be able to vote articles of impeachment down the road? >> john: all right, andy mccarthy with his legal opinion on that. andy, thank you so much. more on that, and other things ahead with south dakota senator john thune. but to andy's point about it being called an illegitimate investigation, i would suspect that even if mccarthy did have the votes in the house to authorize an impeachment investigation, it would be strictly along party lines and the other party would continue to call it illegitimate. >> sandra: and the president himself, remarks begin at 2:45, we'll see if there is specific mention of these or if he

i want both of you to know as the subcommittee for this committee, government reform and oversight, government accountability, i will be coming to the irs, and i will be going to other agencies specifically about their retaliation under the law within their agencies. that we should take as a committee, a whole committee and subcommittee, very seriously. this could be a number of matters that are taking place where people have chilling impact against the laws of the united states of america. gentlemen, i've been taking notes, i want to thank you for being here today. mister chairman, thank, you i yield back my time. >> the gentleman yields back. chair recognize mr. foster from florida. >> thank, you mister chairman, and thank you for your service working at the irs. it's very important work. let's get right into it. mr. shabbily, you are blowing the whistle today because you feel like the department of justice provided preferential treatment to hunter biden, is that correct? you believe that hunter biden received that preferential treatment because his father is the democratic president, joe bi

and when i first came in i looked up on the wall and saw the incredible former chair of or oversight committee elijah cummings and it reminded me of her first meeting, our first committee hearing in this chamber i can chill you it was incredibly powerful. i don't know, mr. turley, do you know the subject matter of that hearing was? >> i don't. >> it was around insulin. price gouging of insulin. the first witness was a mother of twins who had to ration her insulin between the two children. it was incredible because at that moment i thought, this is exactly the committee i want to be on. here doing what is needed for the american people and fighting back against greed and a number of broken systems and processes. i think again leave many of our families behind. here we are, though. doing the bidding of a twice impeached indicted former president instead of working for the people of our country. mr. o'connor, -- ms. o'connor, 47,300, do you know what that is? >> i don't know what number you're referring to. >> that is the number of active duty reserve men and women serving our nation's in kentuck

we spoke earlier to house oversight committee member jazmine crockett who was in the chamber for theng. congresswoman, good to have you on bbc news today. what did you think of what you saw presented today? >> i am not really sure what was presented. there were no fact witnesses brought forward. and i would anticipate in an impeachment inquiry where they are lacking evidence that they would try to bring witnesses that could bring evidence. there witnesses admitted they had no evidence to bring. and in fact, there witnesses admitted that at this point and time there was nothing they had seemed that would lead them to believe there was enough to move forward with anything on the president. unfortunately i felt like this was yet another hearing and oversight in which the taxpayer dollars were wasted. anchor: the man leading this committee, james comer, has said they are using this opportunity to look into more evidence. they also said they have released a timeline ahead of today's hearing that showed influence peddling in the biden family and the biden family and its associates have rec

in fact, just days before a possible shutdown, the house oversight committee is scheduled to hold itsg related to that very inquiry. there's some new reporting that suggest some republicans already fear the committee's handling of that matter before we have even had the hearing. according to axios, colleagues of chairman james comer have become so fed up with his exaggerations and distortions about that investigation, that they are worried about him being the public face of the inquiry. they are praying he will adopt a much more measured approach. joining me now is democratic congressman jimmy gomez of california, he's a member of that very house oversight committee. so glad to have you here with us, congressman. let's talk about what we have to look forward to going forward. what do you think should be made of republicans who appear more concerned about this inquiry than they are the actual shutdown of the house? >> well, there are demonstrating what they've demonstrated in the past. [inaudible] conspiracy that [inaudible] they had zero evidence that show them that president biden ha

he assigned it to the oversight committee. broke precedent by not putting it to a vote.eversal of what he said he would do. it's not clear that he would have the votes to open it. >> these are allegations of abuse of power, obstruction and corruption. they warrant further investigation by the house of representatives. >> the white house responding just now to mccarthy saying, how gop investigations turned up no evidence of wrongdoing by potus. joining me now is senior capitol hill and campaign correspondent garrett haake. we know that any biden impeachment will probably die in the senate, if it gets out of the house. any idea when the house is going to start this, vote on it, how it's going to go with all of the other things that congress is supposed to be doing, like funding the budget with the end at the end of the month? >> reporter: buckle up. the next month especially is going to be very chaotic with the issues colliding in real time. i asked speaker mccarthy's spokesperson that question about a vote. he told me they don't expect one. they will plow ahead with this

oversight committee, our ranking member, jamie raskin, has been clear this has been a priority.ower and possible criminal activity here is immense. and so i think we have a responsibility to the american public to find out why jared kushner received $2 billion two months after leaving the white house. and that's a serious issue, and it's one that i think we're committed to on the oversight committee. >> and congressman, this week we saw hunter biden become the first child of a sitting u.s. president to be indicted. the special counsel, david weiss, charged hunter biden with making false statements on a federal firearms form, lying to federal -- licenses on those gun dealer licenses. obviously can come with it serious problems. do you think these charges harm the president in trying to run for re-election next year? and what do you think -- do you think hunter biden needs to come out and speak out on some of this? >> well, look, i think what's really important is that we let the justice system and the process play out. no one is shying to shield hunter biden for whatever mistakes

daniel, a side note here, the gopled house oversight committee held its first hearing thursday morning on the... well it's sort of become a it's sort of like a junior high school environment where each party in turn tries to impeach the president of the other and it's frivolous, it's again designed to create the appearance of huge battle between the two parties, which is frankly illusory. all right, and same question to miss flounders, the...

we're really concerned on the house side, on the oversight committee.s is just a pattern of the way they have financially benefitted from their job inside the white house. and they continue to attack the president's family who have not worked at a job in the white house, not paid by the white house. yet they can't and won't hold accountable the kushners who have some huge scheme and enriching themselves by billions of dollars. >> the expresident does such a volume business of scandal that i feel like it was sometimes hard for the press and democrats and ethical people to look in any one place for long. but jared kushner was doing what jared kushner was doing the whole time. are you surprised that it didn't get attention before this? >> well, i do think, i think we talked about it a couple years ago, nicole, about kushner and the saudi investment. i think the issue with jared kushner is that he is so ignorant and unschooled that people to some degree expected him to be harmless. he was in a white house making policy, particularly foreign policy, and i th

. >> you are right i hope the oversight committee is going to lay it out piece by piece with a piem linee money came from, why the money came from actions that joe biden took like firing the prosecutor in burisma, biden go ahead and answer five million dollars meeting with russia oligarch, 3.1 million dollars, huntered, a dinner washington, d.c., tied to money received, the fact that they went through shell companies there is a reason, that they set it up this way move forward with subpoena on hunter biden financing records went into his account about what did he do with it did money go to joe biden did job get 10% i suspect he did. >> rufrg to email, 10% for "the big guy", you know o you know all of this, so does doj, right, todd piro jump in doj was aware attorney general merrick garland testifying, in front of the house judiciary committee today fox object obtained preview opening statement he is expected to did he have department of justice credibility tell lawmakers his job not to take orders from president congressman your take, jump in on that first. >> my question for you congres

daniel, a side note here, the gop led house oversight committee held its first hearing thursday morningironment where each party in turn tries to impeach the president of the other, and it's frivolous, it's again uh designed to create the appearance of huge battle between the two parties, which is frankly illusory. all right, and same question to miss flounders, uh, the uh gop that... house oversight committee, they held their first hearing thursday morning uh on the impeachment inquiry of the president, talk us through its relevance uh right now, it's it's kind of irrelevant, frankly uh, impeachment of one party, impeaching the other uh, it's another thing that goes on again and again like like these government shutdowns time after time. uh, how many presidents have there been attempted impeachment, impeachment hearings? uh, it's uh, really, none of this has to do with how the us government functions on an international level and functions domestically here at home. it's not. what happens in washington is not what is happening to people's paychecks, which haven't increased in literally

listen. >> i just had an oversight committee meeting today.bout the upcoming subpoenas. they are finishing with the house counsel, finishing the legal paperwork, ways and means, judiciary and oversight committees together, so we can send out our subpoenas. >> reporter: kevin mccarthy officially announced impeachment a week ago but potential for government shutdown friends progress on the impeachment fund. it was thought that impeachment, conservatives were upset about government funding. it failed to do that. mccarthy is worried the fight over funding could interfere with impeachment. >> the government shutdown -- doesn't interfere with this? >> if government shutdown it would slow down. >> it was an attempt to distract from the fighter government funding, they never have the votes to impeach the president, that's why there's a risk the process could inflame the right if there is no end result. the attorney for the irs whistleblower says there's an effort to quash questions. >> the biden family attorneys have given up on arguing the facts and

jamie raskin, the ranking democrat on the oversight committee says i believe in the rule of law and i believe in the courts and we should stand by what the courts are doing. we also have dan goldman, the democratic representative from new york, again he was a key player in the trump impeachment in the fall and winter of 2019. and he says if hunter biden committed crimes he should be held accountable. but he's a private citizen and the republicans have no, trying to read my notes here, said he's a private citizen and the gop has no connection between joe biden and hunter biden. the other thing i thought was interesting, right as this news broke, marjorie taylor green, the republican from georgia walked up and was asked about the potential challenge to house speaker kevin mccarthy, some conservatives are saying they might want to conduct a no confidence vote and immediately pivoted to the hunter biden indictment, and said why aren't you asking me about this, and a host of other things she thought hunter biden should be charged with. >> sandra: ok, chad pergram, jump back on with breakin

jackie: joined me from the house oversight committee congressman byron donalds. great to have you on the program. thank you for being here. let's talk about the significance of the possible indictment, theories are being floated that special counsel david weiss is using this as a ploy to go back to the sweetheart deal that he presented before that not necessarily is this an example of justice being served. >> first of all it's good to be with you, let's unpack a couple of things. number one david weiss should not even be the special counsel, is the department of justice regulations that a special counsel should come from outside of the government. his office already screwed up the original indictment and they are the ones and put together the sweetheart deal that merrick garland signed off on. they are the ones that screw that up and they get a second bite at the apple, that is complete the wrong. number two the fact of the matter to abbe lowell, what is changed is transparency not politics. the fact that people of our country now understand that hunter biden was
