>> can you believe -- help me understand this vicky ward reporting., putting in the record i'm going to vienna with a couple of staffers and you don't mention you met with the guy at the center of the whole situation? >> the timing is very, very clear. he did this right after the democrats won the house and before they took control. so he could get away with this. you know, i think what this shows clearer than anything is that you do not have an unbiased, you know, set of republicans who are involved in deciding -- >> he had to know we were going to find out. it not like these players are exactly locked lipped, these guys that we're dealing with. he sat in the hearings and i don't know how much you saw, every time they bring up, the president wanted ukraine to get dirt on the bidens, he even said i can't believe you guys think this is possible when he knew damn well he was trying to, unless parnas' lawyer is lying because shokin hasn't confirmed and nunes won't answer questions, that giuliani was trying to do it and he was trying to loop in lev parnas

. >> this was a story broken by our colleague vicky ward. we're hearing that the lawyer for this man, lev parnas, an associate, businessman connected to rudy giuliani, they are claiming that they will testify under oath in front of congress if they're invited and they'll say that devin nunes, the ranking member of the house intelligence cumulative committee, traveled to meet with victor shoken who was the former top prosecutor of ukraine who has been dangling alleged dirt about the bidens for about a year now, although many of his allegations have been discred discredit discredited. now nunes is not exactly a stranger to this topic. he has been ramping up the alarm, repeating claims about the bidens over and over at these congressional hearings this past week. let's take a listen to what he's been saying at the house intel committee. >> no conspiracy theory is too outlandish for the democrats. you'd think they would take some interest in barisma and you would think they would be interested in joe biden. we need to subpoena hunter biden. i th

vicky ward is here ask with max boot and john dean. what a tangled web this is. what is going on. okay, this reporting is really significant. you have learned the attorney this is about nunes. meetings to get dirt on joe biden. go. what did you learn? >> last december, devin nunes made a secret trip to meet with victor shulkin. the former prosecutor general in ukraine who is fired in 2016. because he wasn't doing his job. he was fired under pressure from western leaders including joe biden. who was vice president. he has an accident to grind against biden. nunes was looking for dirt on joe biden and his son. and looking for proof of this theory ukraine somehow meddled in the election. nunes comes back from the trip. par nas business associate of giuliani doing his own investigation into this. that nunes meeting has taken place and nunes then heats parness and talks to him on the phone and enlists his help in making introductions to ukrainian investigators who might be able to find more dirt on joe biden. and wants the two investigations to merge. it's fascinating we haven't herd h

to you what we're learning right now and get your reaction from our reporters kara scannell and vicki ward and carl a black. associates of rudy giuliani they say have launched a broad investigation that could include criminal charges ranging from conspiracy, obstruction of justice, campaign finance violations and money laundering according to a subpoena sent to at least one witness and seen by cnn. and then the report continues. the grand jury subpoena describes the range of charges that are being considered and it appears to signal that prosecutors are also looking at the associates relationship with rudy giuliani and specifically giuliani business. what is your reaction to this? >> i was listening to the interview with rudy giuliani a little while ago that you played and now this information. it is like watching and listening to the fourth sequel of the godfather saga. rudy giuliani, who was a highly touted prosecutor of organized crime, has now sadly decided to emulate them. and i think it is a very serious state of affairs. mr. giuliani has surrounded himself with criminal elements app

in reporting by vicky ward, we've learned both the men had a meeting with the president and j rudolphuliani last year at the hannukkah party where they described what was a secret mission to pressure the ukrainian government to pressure vice president joe biden and his son hunter. >> days later we're told that he insinuated to people that he clearly believed he had been given a special assignment by the president. some sort of james bond mission. the white house did not respond to repeat requests for comment on. this reporting, steve hall is back with us now. first let's get to the role of these two men. they are now under criminal indictment. they've been charged and arrested as they were trying to heave the country on a one-way ticket. the washington dulles airport. the president entrusted these two now criminals, or alleged criminals, with a kind of mission separate from stated u.s. policy in ukraine. tell us the significance of that. the broader picture here. >> yeah. this is an example of essentially a shadow side of the diplomatic effort here with regard to ukraine. and perhaps

i want your response first to vicky ward's reporting. >> by the end of this he'll have sued just about anyone that's ever written about him. i think it is fascinating. look, the problem with parnas, the more that he can document this, right, obviously the better. he's clearly interested in telling a story and he is also clearly interested in gaining some kind of immunity. right? so, you know, the fact that there is some corroborating evidence that nunes was according to the reporting in europe at the time, right, and that as far as i've seen he -- nunes has not specifically addressed what parnas's allegation is here. he has sort of offered this blanket oh, it's false but without really detailing what he says is false specifically what is inaccurate. that is something nunes does with just about anyone that writes about him. he dismisses it all out of hand without actually addressing the substance of what reporters actually report. so we have to hear from parnas and i think we have to hear from nunes. and get all of the -- their two stories ventilated. >> but if the allegations are true,

. >> nicki ward broke this story, she's joining me now on set. vicky, great lake to see you, great reporting. that was not a no. he could have said into. >> what is your takeaway from what he said? >> he's in an embarrassing difficult predicament, right? >> you have democrats calling for an ethics investigation to this. look at the optics, he is the senior republican presiding over impeachment hearings, investigating whether or not there was a shadow foreign policy in the ukraine that was essentially to benefit the person politically. it turns out, according to the lawyer, he wants to tell congress that devin nunes was a part of that, and he hasn't disclosed his roll in that of course he's now in a difficult position. just to go back. what his lawyer has told us that parnass wants to testify to congress, is that devin nunes went to vienna last september to meet with victor shockin, the fired former prosecutor general of the ukraine who had a part in his firing, and devin nunes did not disclose this trip to congress, because he timed it deliberately to
