critics, we want to go to capitol hill now where we are getting responses from house republicans, including from the judiciary committee. what are they saying? >> reporter: they just issued a statement criticizing the special counsel for not charging joe biden with a crime. this is the comment that came via social media from the house judiciary committee led by congressman jim jordan. it said that special counsel robert hur recommends no criminal charges against president biden, and the classified documents case. despite the fact that robert hur knowledges biden willfully obtained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen. he goes on to say quote double standard. that is what we can expect to hear from double republicans here in the days and weeks ahead, even that donald trump was, of course, indicted over his mishandling and alleged obstruction involving the classified documents that ended up in his home in mar-a-lago after he left the presidency. but immigrants are quick to defend joe biden, saying that the situations are much different. that is a message that just cam

the house judiciary committee, the republicans, your district committee, has also issued the tweet saying president biden couldn't remember when he was vice president. so this is going to be part of the campaign issue. so the republicans are going to be using it, pointing to biden's advanced age and pointing as well to the fact that he supp as these memory lapses during an official interview with the department of justice. but at the same time trumps lawyers and biden's lawyers. and by himself are likely to continue to respond to the facts, pointing out the difference in terms of the way by didn't handled the classified documents, giving them over immediately to the special counsel giving full cooperation all the way through the investigation. as opposed to the way in which donald trump withheld the fact that he had classified documents and even wouldn't allow us to do so, refuse to hand them over. it was only finally noted where they will in a raid by the f. b, i on his morrow logo and stay. so on one side, you're going to have republicans and trump himself, pointing out to biden's memor

these are just literally the top lines we're reading at this moment, the house judiciary committee, republicans are already out accusing a double standard of the justice department for not bringing charges against the president as we also of course see president biden's likely opponent in the general election, former president trump with a different investigation here into his handling of classified documents. one thing that we also understand to be true from this report is that there is a very clear distinction being made between the ways in which former vice president biden handled classified documents and president biden worked with the justice department during that investigation very cooperativity, his team did, there were multiple searches of his home in wilmington, delaware, as well as a search of his beach home in rehoboth beach, delaware. versus what donald trump, the obfuscation, the resistance to any form of a search, any form of cooperation, so that is something that is coming through this as well. but, katy, certainly this is a moment, we are about ten months before the election. i

house republicans are going to send over will present these articles. it is consistent within the way house republicans ran at this sham of a process. the vast majority of home do not serve on the judiciary committee have never served on the judiciary committee notwithstanding the centuries of a precedent going back to the impeachment file of andrew johnson of the mid- 18th century. who have not prosecute any kind of case you have no experience that will be reckless to perform what's supposed to be a solemn task and i recognize numbers feel differently about it. that is fine you will vote the way you want to vote you will set a new precedent now. that on a regular basis cabinet officials sent over random groups of house republican house democratic members who have an objection to a cabinet secretary. that's the new way house of representatives does business. it's a sad day for this institution and i yield back. note for that requester further amendment questions on the motion to report all those in favor signify by saying aye. those opposed say no. the opinion of the chair the [roll call] have it. recall has been requested.

republican congressman jeff van drew joins us he is a member of the house judiciary committee.udiciary committee what you think of this case when we think of what the judge ruled? >> god help us what we're doing with our criminal justice system and the annoyances of america. letitia james, the attorney general openly and knowingly campaigned her primary goal if you want to be attorney general was to go after donald trump and destroy him. they have recorded speeches. not worried about the rapes that are going on not worried about the murders, not worried about carjackings that was not her main focus. which should be, but it was donald trump. the second piece of this is we know the banks testified in did not have anything negative to say about donald trump at all. and in fact wanted to lend him more money because he paid everything in full. the third thing we know is there has never been a case like this in the history of new york. there is no victim, nobody was hurt. you know who was hurt? donald trump they hide to hurt him, they try to hurt his family, his children which is an

first time we've put the question directly to the republicans who are investigating all of this, including the chairman, the house judiciary committee, jim jordan, who i asked him about this revelation, whether he would take back what he had said about the president being involved in this bribery scheme. and jim jordan was defined and about the presence involvement in a bribery scheme. now that alexander smirnoff is proven to have made it up, and it was based off russian intelligence, doesn't change the four fundamental facts hunter biden was on the put on the board of burisma, gets paid $1 million a year. fact number two, he's not qualified to be on the board. he said so himself in an interview, i don't know with you person or some network. back number three zola teff ski and pozharsky, the two executives at burisma specifically asked hunter biden, can you weigh in with dc and help us deal with the pressure we are facing from the prosecutor. fact number four, joe biden, then he gets called hunter biden calls his dad according to devon archer hunter biden's business partner, fact number four, joe biden then goes to ukraine three day

republican james comber, and ranking member, jamie raskin of maryland, spoke to reporters. >> thank you very much for being here this morning. obviously this is a big day. this is the day that the house oversight and judiciary committees will be deposing hunter biden. we are deposing hunter biden because he's a key witness in our investigation of president joe biden. our committees have unerted substantial evidence of president biden's and his family's corruption. the biden's created 20 shell companies, most of which were created when joe biden was vice president. and for anyone who doesn't understand what a shell company is, i'm talking to the associated press here, a shell company is a company with no assets or no known purpose. we determined the bidens had 20 shell companies. the bidens and their associated raked in over $30 million from china, russia, ukraine, romania, and democrat donors. 10 members of the biden family, including joe biden, either participated or benefited from the family influenced peddling schemes. what was the biden family business? that's been a big question of this whole investigation. what was the business? biden family associates testified that joe biden was the brand. president biden has

. >> in his opening statement to the house oversight and judiciary committees, james biden said he had nothing to hide and accused republicans who have suggested that he improperly benefited from his brothers status of being either mistaken, ill-informed, or flat out lying. "i have had a 50-year career in a variety of business ventures. jill biden has never had any involvement or any direct or indirect financial interest in those activities. none. the negative and destructive assumptions about me and my relationship with my brother, joe, are wrong. there is no basis for this inquiry to continue." so there's that. but on capitol hill, as you can imagine, there was anything but unanimity on that subject. republicans, for example, they are forging ahead, they say, on behalf of the american people. >> as a member of congress, i don't trust the justice system. the american people don't, either. we need to restore that trust and that's what we're trying to do. >> it seems like they are giving up the ghost on impeachment. therefore, they should really close down the impeachment investigation. there is no reason for us to be wasting

house judiciary committee. hur found evidence was not strong enough to establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. republicans wrote to attorney general merrick garland asking that he provide the full transcript of his interview with president biden. joining me now is democratic senator amy klobuchar. senator klobuchar, welcome back to "meet the press." >> thank you. it's great to be back on. thanks, kristen. >> well, it is great to have you, senator. let's start right there. we do expect the special counsel robert hur to appear before the house judiciary committee. will the senate judiciary call hur to testify? should it? >> well, that is up to senator durbin, but i will say that hur is conducting his own investigation, and he has concluded very clearly that there was no criminal liability here for the president, and that was his focus, right? and that got decided. and i think there are many other things this we need to do on the judiciary committee including passing some legislation when it comes to tech including many other issues related to fentanyl and the life that we're focused on, but again, that will

has gone on now for several years, republicans have essentially been defiant in the face of these new revelations, including the chairman of the house judiciary committee, jim jordan, who just a few weeks ago said that that fbi informants testimony was central the most corroborating piece of evidence that they had. and just moments ago, i had a chance to question him about the new allegations that this is all made up do you take back what you said about the presence involvement in a bribery scheme now that alexander smirnoff is proven, made it up, and it was based off russian intelligence, doesn't change the four fundamental facts. hunter biden was on the put on the board of burisma, gets paid $1 million a year. >> you said the 1023 is the most corroborating piece of information you outbreaks, but it doesn't, it doesn't change those fundamental facts. so now it's not true. well, so okay. so the fbi told us that this source was selling 14 years. this source was a paid source by the fbi when we we were trying to get the 1023, they told us, oh, this could jeopardize national security, this aid to this source didn't want to release it. and now they're sayi
