wray: mr. tebow was, for some period of time, until relatively recently, what is called an asac in our washington field office. sen. kennedy: he was the assistant special agent in charge? dir. wray: there is a number with of them in the washington field office. the structure is there that is the head of the office, then sacs, then the level he was at. sen. kennedy: and he has or had been with the fbi about 25 years, is that right? dir. wray: now you are testing my knowledge a little bit. sen. kennedy: ok. he was a powerful guy, is that correct? dir. wray: i'm sorry? sen. kennedy: he was a powerful guy is that correct? dir. wray: i don't know that i would use that description. sen. kennedy: ok. he had no power? dir. wray: i think every law enforcement agent in the fbi, with the responsibilities they are entrusted with, has significant power. sen. kennedy: did he work on the president trump russian collusion investigation? dir. wray: uh, i'm not sure i know the answer to that. not that i am aware

wray: let me finish. we have individuals who have made threats against a variety of people, sometimes a school board officials, sometimes other people. sen. cruz: the house of representatives have sent you oversight letters detailing dozens of investigation under a threat tag directed at parents, moms, dads, who have came in because they spoke out against mask mandates, vaccine mandates, critical race. . this was after the attorney general claimed it was not happening. the pattern, sadly we have seen, you said you do not know how many they are your the follow-up is i will send out a letter and you will send out a letter saying you are unable to answer it. let me give you an example, recently there was the case against individuals charged with kidnapping and murdering governor -- the government in late michigan. the four people who went to trial, two of them were acquitted, none of them were convicted of a single charge. the basis of the defense was that the fbi, paid enforcers from the fbi had suggested a

christopher wray directly avoided commenting and managed to pivot the dialogue to whistleblowers. >> obviously if there are allegations of misconduct by fbi employees we want to make sure that we get the information so we can use the tools that we have to go after that conduct. certainly i condemn in the strongest possible terms any prospect of retaliation against whistleblowers. >> let take it up with a panel miranda divide you wrote the book on hunter biden and are continuing to work and uncover important new information on his various activities. did we learn anything this week and what do you make where we stand with the subdivided investigation in the criminal investigation. >> we learned absolutely nothing from christopher wray who is a master of smog evasive answers. he told us senators that he had to leave early to catch his private plane undisclosed location. he is incredibly arrogant and it's amazing all the questions, very good questions coming particularly from grassley and ted cruz. a blue often. he seems to have no awareness of anything that's going on inside the fbi de

and christopher wray doesn't seem to think it's a big deal at all.en republican steak house i think people should expect major action to deal with these two standards of justice at the fbi and department of justice. >> shannon: final word of what we saw today? >> this is a preview of coming attractions if the republicans take congress in this year's elections. hunter biden is a big liability for president biden and it will be a reason that democrats want biden not to run for a second term. >> shannon: all right, washington is watching and waiting. also... finally tonight a "special report" salute, we want you to see this before we go. >> jesse: bret off on his birthday? >> it's the gift we gave him. >> jesse: that's weird. >> he deserves it. >> jesse: have a good night. >> you too. >> jesse: liberals love a radical agenda until it inconveniences them. they want to defund the police until their city gets burned down. they want green energy, but don't ask them to give up their private planes and suvs. they totally support open borders and

so, it was a relief to see at least wray mention it. but, you know, wray is a weak fbi director.ng to take on what i believe to be the deep state and, you know, we have had open borders for nearly two years. now we're hearing some noise from the fbi about national security or security issues. # you know, previously what we're hearing out of the fbi and the justice department is noise about parents complaining about school curriculum. the priorities are screwed up. # >> yeah, i was going to say, when it comes to the border, it's not really fbi but dhs. department of homeland security secretary on his watch, 150 people on the terror watchlist we know of trying to speak to our country over half a million this year known got-aways, you have to wonder who those people are in that mix. >> tom, thank you, friend. we appreciate it. biden insisting he's running for re-election in 2024. but a growing number of democrats are saying, no, we're good. >> do you want to see joe biden. >> i don't want to answer that question. >> you -- >> i'm just asking if you would support -- >> i think there'

we had director wray before congress last week, they have had hunter's laptop longer than anybody.t have they done with it? nothing. millions of dollars paid to hunter from ukraine, russia, $1.5 billion deal with the bank of china. $100,000 shopping speed with a chinese national, no experience, nothing happens. joe on tape bragging again and again, i've never ever discussed my son's foreign business dealings. well, we know of at least 14 occasions now and we have pictures in some cases with joe, hunter, and guess what, hunter's foreign business partners. nothing happens to them. the bidens have never had their homes rated, they literally sold access to the highest levels of our government, the big guy was taking his 10% cut according to his own son's laptop. and yet president biden has never faced legal scrutiny. it's not even clear that his son hunter, who has literally recorded his crimes into great detail, will ever get with any crime. no raid to his house but if your last name is roger stone or if your name is paul manafort, you get a predawn raid, guns drawn, fbi s.w.a.t. team

you know, we've listened to chris wray over the last several weeks or so. in the last week at the very least. testify before congress about the resources of the fbi, where and where he could not dedicate resources. we heard him ask about the hunter biden investigation, the gretchen whitmer investigation, violence against pro-life advocates or pro-organization advocates at pro-life centers. he talked essentially about the limited resources of the fbi, and therefore prosecutorial discretion in where they choose to put their resources. so i'm curious, the fbi has chosen to devote resources to donald trump. why, in your estimation? what is this about? is this about supposed classified documents? is this about january 6th? why is this at the top of list of their priorities? >> if you had many fbi agents at mar-a-lago today, that took away from other things those agents could be working on including violent crime in our major cities. but you're right, the department of justice and fbi appear to be focusing a lot of resources on january 6th and on donald trump and

nothing from the fbi director christopher wray. ultimately though this is up to the department of justice to sign off on something like this. merrick garland not only oversees the doj but the fbi. because the fbi falls under the doj umbrella. let's tell everyone what we know specifically about the search of the former president's home early yesterday morning. the fbi gave a heads up to the secret service and a few local law enforcement officials to let them know they're on their way to mar-a-largo to take document and had a valid search warrant. the former president was not there. he was in new york. in january, the trump team at mar-a-largo voluntarily turned over 15 boxes of records to the government after the national archives late last year expressed concerns the former president took classified information when he left office in january 2021. two months ago, doj officials including jay brat that deals with counter intelligence met with trump attorneys at mar-a-largo to continue negotiations about turning over information. the

wray and grassley spoke as a hypothetical and did not use the name "hunter."fbi had unlawful financial payments paid to elected officials or other politically exposed persons, would that pose a national security concern? >> well, i think the kind of conduct you're describing is typically something that we would look at very closely through our efforts at malign foreign influence. >> the director was asked about the safety of security fishes after the leaked opinion and the overturning of roe v. wade. he said that's a concern and also the fbi as we first reported last month is seeing an increase in attacks on churches, pro life pregnancy centers and other pro life organizations. gillian? >> gillian: thanks, david. let's bring in matt whitaker, the former acting attorney general under president trump. you heard the fib director every 12 hours now a new china investigation. two a day. take a listen. i want your reaction. >> director wray, who is the most significant geo political foe of the united states in the next decade? >> that would be the chinese communist

christopher wray was deeply disturbed by it. i mean, who is running this agency? he is.s fully aware of it. he was highly evasive before the senate judiciary committee hearing yesterday. >> will: julie, where he began tonight's show talking about priorities. when you think about the priorities of the fbi, what are we supposed to make of this law enforcement organization? on one hand, as you point out, not just burying, but spinning the hunter biden investigation, and on the other hand looking into, quote, unquote, domestic terrorists, and identifying theo project veritas -- identifying them with the betsy ross flag, this seems to be the fbi's priority. >> it is. christopher wray is extremely knowledgeable about the events of january 6th, which he designated an act of domestic terror. he told senator tom cotton yesterday that the fbi was too busy, too overloaded to investigate a single pro abortion activist who was demonstrating violating federal law, demonstrating outside the homes of brett kavanaugh. the very next day, today, less than 24 hours later, his fbi arrested a

what fbi director christopher wray, who signed off on the raid, and who was appointed by former president trump, what he said today. jonathan karl with new reporting here. and dan abrams tonight on what this all means. >>> also tonight, the dangerous and deadly storms as we come on the air. we have learned tonight of two u.s. army soldiers killed in a weather-related incident. and tonight, several states now under flood alerts. flood warnings in washington, d.c. rob marciano tracking it all. >>> the american economy and the prices you're paying for everything. tonight, the new and encouraging signs. the slight improvement on inflation. combine that with falling gas prices and what economists tonight are now cautiously saying. >>> we have new reporting here after the fiery crash landing on a california freeway. the plane making that emergency landing, hitting a truck, bursting into flames. how the pilot survived this, trying to save lives as he came down. >>> the alleged murder for hire plot. tonight, an iranian national charged in an alleged plot to assassinate former trump nsa adviser jo

christopher wray was confirmed by every single republican in the senate under the law. left office injanuary 2021 that mr wray kind of turned, defected to the other side he could have fired him, which he didn't do, and so it is pretty hard to argue that your own appointee who you could have fired is somehow engaged in a witch—hunt. and plus, mr wray is not a political appointee, he has never run for office in his life, but the point that you're asking is, what does shake out politicall mean? i think trump will lose some support in the short run once we have more disclosure. in the long run i think it will depend more on what kind of criminal charges may be forthcoming, which could be far more devastating than just a search warrant. on that point, mr trump's detractors often looking for some kind of conviction — guilt, prosecution. mr trump's supporters looking for vindication and being found innocent, what do you think will happen in this case? i believe that if there is an indictment it would be tried in the us district court in the district of columbia. the district o

director wray and merrick garland ought to go before congress. according to reports, the fbi was looking for presidential records requested by the national archives from trump's time in the white house. call me a skeptic, i don't buy that for once i compare this likely does not have much if not anything to do with the national archives. you don't raid the president much of his home before dawn with thousands of agents for a few documents that may or may not belong to the national archives. in a statement from february, the national archives said they obtained "full cooperation" with trumpet officials and were already working with them to transfer key documents. the fbi agents on the scene reportedly took every document insight at mar-a-lago without even bothering to read any of the material. and according to eric trump on this show last night and numerous other services that we have on this program, the fbi refused to allow the president's attorneys to watch what they took. why not? and it gets worse. of the judge who reportedly signed off on the

here is what chris wray said about china. >> director wray, who is the most significant geopolitical foe the newt faces in the next decade? >> the people's republic of china and specifically the chinese communist party. brian: it's the hacking, it's the college students. we have to get them on their heels. is there a plan in place to start comprehensively identifying them? >> the fbi director said every 12 hours they open up a case against chinese espionage. all i can say is the border is completely broken, it's not secure. this bill we are going to vote on in a day or so will not reduce inflation. there is no plan to secure our border in the face of rising terrorism. and we don't have enough resources to push back against cyber tech and espionage when it comes to director wray. when it comes to domestic growth and possible far it, the biden administration is killing prosperity. when it comes to geopolitical threats, they are weak and dumb. brian: time to take manufacturing, put it in central america. let's attack both problems at once and let them build. al-zawahiri gets blown up on

director wray fond of telling agents to hit low and put your head of doing it. know what happens when you're doing that questioning sometimes you get a concussion and spinal injuries and i'm afraid these decisions have put the fbi in traction today. these are decisions the attorney general had to approve and sign off on as well as director wray himself. it makes the entire organization with political. >> shannon: jonathan turley tweeting this tonight, why a subpoena would not suffice critically when or president trump was not at mar-a-lago. the raid was to scoop up potential sensitive documents that were not reviewable at the scene. your take on this tonight? >> this is a redline the biden justice department has crossed here. completely unnecessary. it's political. the former president has an office, the former president, they have staff, they have office space. they have skiffs or secure places for classified material. secret service protection. there is no allegation or evidence whatsoever that this material was going to get lost and go in the wrong hands. the

fbi director chris wray, attorney general merrick garland. phil, what does their history, what we know about how they conduct themselves tell us about the threshold here? >> i could tell you about their history and give you a quick judgment on what that tells me about what happened yesterday. if you look at these individuals, chris wray, who went through an incredibly turbulent time at the fbi after james comey and president trump accusing the fbi of plit somewheresation. they wanted wray to be more vocal in defending the bureau. he was not. he kept a low profile. you look at merrick garland. democrats wanted him to be more out front on this investigation. he knew in the previous years the department of justice had been attacked for things like the hillary clinton investigation. he was below the radar. two career professionals, wray and garland, decide to come out from below radar and take the most consequential political move the department could take in years. i do not think that based on that partly this is solely about classified document

by the way, didn't he appoint chriopher wray?dond trum appointed christopher wray and had the kindest thing to say about him. >> put him there. >> they're all trumrs. again, you look at all the people testifying agast him o january 6th, umpers. the people talking about what he did on that day and what he did leading up to the day, they're al trumpe. u look a the fbichief, the guy who runs the fbi, atrumper. >> put him there! >> yeah now former presidt trum is saying whout avidence to back this uphat this vestigation by the guy he put in there is politically motivated. >> whatever. >> now, nbc news chief white house correspondent kristin welker has the latest. >> reporter: overnight i a show of force a group of house republicans having dinner and posing with former president trump at his home in new jersey, one of the congrsmen who attended speaking out. >> i've never seen president trump as fir up as what he was tonight. >> reporter: itomes am dramatic new details about the fbi's move to execute a searc warrant at mar-a-lago. a l

christopher wray appears he couldn't care less. take a look. >> former president trump -- agents plants fessed [inaudible] his lawyers [inaudible] can you address that particularly, as many trump supporters on line called upon [inaudible] >> weshlgs as i'm sure you can appreciate that's not something that i can talk about so i would refer you to the department. as to the issue of threats, i will say that i'm always concerned about violence and threats of violence against law enforcement. >> laura: >> sean: all right let me be clear and no ambiguity. no member at all in law enforcement should ever be threatened with violence, that can never be tolerated. by the way i wish in the summer of 2020 the democrats, the media and the fbi director would have spoken out and defended cops like we did on this program. we had thousands of police that were pelted with bricks and rocks and frozen water bottles and molotov cocktails injured thousands of comes over the summer of 2020 and, yes, we do know there are bad apples in law enforcement but t

christopher wray has done nothing. absolutely nothing. and then to make it worse.id he authorize it? christopher wray is a bumbling establishment let alone running the most powerful law enforcement agency. and not only should he not be fired is not a crime now it should be. joining us now ranking member james, congressman should you become chairman next year of house oversight, can you commit to holding hearings into the fbi election interference and forcing christopher wray to justify? >> absolutely. that will be a top priority for house republicans especially on the oversight committee. we share your frustration. we have seen mistake after mistake and they are arrogant i was on the oversight committee when we started asking questions to certain like peter struck and to the russian hoax. and the arrogance from fbi leadership was breathtaking. it's only gotten worse and the straw that broke the back was the raid on mar-a-lago without any information provided to congress before or after. we still know nothing what was in the boxes and we don't know who trigger the r

tonight, pressure on the attorney general merrick garland and the fbi director christopher wray, who was appointed by former president trump. jonathan karl standing by live with new reporting. dan abrams on what this all could mean. >>> also breaking tonight, the news conference a short time ago. the arrest tonight. a major break in the murders of four muslim men killed in separate attacks in new mexico. what authorities just revealed. >>> the record heat wave in the northeast. the heat index, the feel-like reading topping 100 degrees in new york city, philadelphia to washington. and in boston tonight, the sixth day of record temperatures above 95 degrees. at this hour, the threat of storms and flooding. ginger zee tracking it all. >>> president biden and the major bipartisan victory tonight. signing the $280 billion bill increasing microchip production here in the u.s. chips used in cars, cell phones, computers. and we hear from an american manufacturer ready to go. mary bruce at the white house. >>> the major headline on monkeypox. the outbreak here in the u.s. the government now p

maerrick garland, lisa monaco, chris wray of the fbi. these are pretty heavy hitters. they know the political implications of this. even though doj is not supposed to be political. they understand what's happening. they better have the goods. >> you mentioned some federal laws there. one of them says whoever willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliberates, falsifies, or destroys official documents should be fined or imprisoned not more than three years or both and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the united states. so then caroline, and i want to get your reaction to this, phil, does this mean if trump is convicted of this charge, he cannot run for office again? >> no. it doesn't. it almost certainly will be litigated. as with so many things in trump world, we are in unchartered territory here. that statute has never been challenged in this way, and indeed, many legal scholars have commented that it's likely an unconstitutional prohibition on who can run for office. that's not to say it won't be litigated. i

whether it's director wray, merrick garland the deputy attorney general.o how does this happen? why did it happen and to demand answers and to not be satisfied until they get. >> lawrence: matt, the big question is republicans had control for two years. they knew what was happening at the fbi. we knew about the fisa court yet pretty much all the republicans voted to give the fisa court back their authority again after they know that they lied to a federal judge, thiessen judge asked questions about that. why should republicans be trusted now to do something about it when they had control they did nothing about the fisa court. they did nothing about the fbi. they did nothing about the department of justice. >> yeah. well there was -- that two years went by very quickly in '17 and about 18 and oversight was distracted to say the least. and i'm sure that those that were there would suggest that they didn't have the appropriate people that could do this type of work. although i think john ratcliffe and others were fairly effective. but, you are right. i think

the big takeaway that i have here, where is the fear on the part of christopher wray?n the part of merrick garland? that when the republicans take over the house in a matter of weeks, that they are going to be brought to the house for your ex. they should be shaking in their boots, fearful of what is going to have been. yet, the demonstrated no fear whatsoever. they're just going with business as usual or their business as usual, which is articulating and exercising their democratic agenda. >> carley: at the doj, of course, should be a trusted, nonpolitical organization, but if you look at recent history, you have liberal fbi agents promoting the compressor hooks because you have liberal fbi agents allegedly covering up the hunter biden laptop, calling a disinformation, and then that leaking to the media. you also have the doj calling parents domestic terrorists, that area refusing to go after protesters outside the homes of supreme court justices, even after an assassination attempt to. now, it is ask yourself, are we on a turning point here and where do we go from he

now christopher wray is calling that allegation deeply troubling.ell, it's definitely deeply troubling. it's more than that. we operate in a civilized society and we are able to do so because we as americans believe that no matter who you are, no matter your last name or your actions, if you break the law, if you do something against the law you will be held accountable. the premier law enforcement agency in the world, the fbi, apparently -- we know it was weaponized against donald trump. we know -- remember peter strzok and lisa page working in tandem to try to take down donald trump despite the fact that the information they were basing their entire situation off of was false. but now that same agency apparently for the political party that they support has covered up, and the fact that you have christopher wray, the fbi director, there on capitol hill either just finding out about a lot of this, which is very concerning considering he is the director, that is kind of surprised by some of the stuff, or that he's the director in these individuals a

that is not good enough, wray and garland have done a disservice. director wray should have taken what should be the world's premiere law enforcement agency and should have cleaned up the politics in the fbi. he didn't do it and now things are worse with merrick garland because he seems to be weaponizing the doj, the biden doj. and getting away with everything has led to more politics or politicizing of the fbi, which by the way, i predicted would happen many times on this program if we didn't hold the people that abuse fiwarrants and spying on presidential candidate and president or as "wall street journal" editorial board pointed out, why one standard for hillary clinton and one for donald trump? this is doj that appears hell bent on finding anything to use against the 45 sgt. president, we saw that in the raid at mar-a-lago and the same organization that let hillary clinton off the hook for mishandling a ton of top secret, classified materials on unsecured private servers because even jim comey acknowledged crimes were committed and no reasonable

mike turner, i'm demanding immediate briefing by fbi director wray guarding the risk that rose to level of ordering raid on the residence of a former president. lindsey graham, time will tell regarding this most recent investigation. such an investigation of a former president this close to an election is beyond problematic. ari fleischer said this, all i can say, the fbi better have the goods, this better be a slam-dunk criminal case, other wise biden administration and doj have crossed a line of no return. if they have the goods announce, otherwise this raid is a disgrace. democrats on capitol hill are trying to be careful how they characterize the raid. >> comments are premature. >> the department of pursuing this in a nonpolitical way. >> kevin: that is one way to look at it, the former president's son, don jr. accusing the doj and the fbi of "ripping the country apart and openly targeting their political enemies," and it remains to be seen if and when the doj will respond to questions. there are those in washington that are speculating that as pressure builds, leadership at doj may

. >> will: many people like to point out that christopher wray was appointed by trump.pher wray is a member of permanent washington who doesn't like to discuss anything, including why his agents concocted a plan to kidnap the governor of michigan or how many fbi agents were there on januar. they are permanent fixtures in washington, as is your national media. andy mccabe is always on cnn these days, peter strzok, john brennan, clapper, regular fixtures on msnbc. so is fbi former counterintelligence officials. watch this revealing moment from last night. lizzie informs msnbc producers that the term "raid" is a little strong. so msnbc change to the chyron in real time to obey his command. >> agents, by the way, don't like the word raid. they don't like it, they feel like it is some kind of extrajudicial nonlegal thing. it's the execution of a search warrant, it's a court authorized search warrant. >> will: the take away here is not that the media is biased, you know that. or that the fbi should prosecute hunter biden or is in the famous words of stephen a. smith, smoking

christopher wray, i have never heard of anybody getting fired. nobody gets fired.is we have watched over the years for the past five or six years. all of this wrongdoing. nobody gets fired. it's going to change in january if we have our way. i object coming jordan and the rest of us very much want to make sure we put these people in front of our committee first in deposition and publicly if appropriate and make sure we hold them accountable for what they have done. we also want to further empower the inspector general. we have had a good inspector general at the department of justice, but he has been hamstrung many, many times resigns he wants to speak to. we very much need to make sure that we change that try to do that in a couple of ways. the most important, judge, making sure that resignation or retirement does not put you outside the reach of the inspector general we are going to change that if it's the last thing we do on judiciary. >> judge jeanine: i understand the importance of hearings and the importance of having the public understand what's going on. i

and look, maybe chris wray and i see that very differently.hink that -- you know, i've had certainly my own experiences serving as director of the fbi at a tumultuous time when the men and women of the organization felt that they were under great attack, and i felt like it was appropriate to stand up in public and set the record straight about the work that they do. and i think i just -- i personally think that would be helpful to those people today. so i would like to see some sort of public acknowledgment and defense by the director of the fbi of his people. >> i'd imagine it's something he's considered. why do you think we have not seen that publicly in front of the camera from director wray? >> i don't know the answer to that, victor. i wish i knew. i don't think it's, you know knowing director wray somewhat, having worked with him for quite a few months there in 2017, i don't think that's really his style. he's not someone who is really super comfortable with kind of bold statements at all, certainly bold public statements. but again, you

my question is, does director wray have to go, alan dershowitz?at mean that the department of justice, under merrick garland, that he has to be impeached? he has to be removed? he has politicized the department of justice and it can't be trusted? >> the first step is to have judicial oversight. that's why the judge's decision tomorrow to appoint an independent monitor instead of a taint team is a good first step. >> sean: they already read it. it's too late. >> it's not too late. >> sean: they have it, they read it. >> the independent examiner can at least pinpoint what has been read. i don't trust the fbi, i don't trust the department of justice to make honest assessments as to what was read and what was privileged. we need oversight. >> sean: professor we're losing you, every other word is all we're picking up. thank you professor, congressman jordan weal' stay on the story with you. >>> coming up after promising to be a great june firing biden has doing nothing to divide the country. wait until you hear the latest insult about well pretty much

dagen: well, christopher wray and the fbi has had little to say about misdeeds within the agency. week about the individuals in the fbi. there was an agent, two different agents who covered up derogatory information about hunter biden while working in the fbi and he admitted that it's deeply troubling. but, again, hunter biden getting a pass, hunter biden has people within the fbi and joe biden, again, this is a joe biden story as maria says not a hunter biden scandal, that working to benefit them, but they then go after president trump and went after conservatives within the irs. again, it is a very unleverage l playing field. >> i think you made the point with louis learner, she took the fifth and she's on a fat government retirement. you can see james comey never brought to justice during -- [inaudible] >> hillary clinton stealing furniture among other things with secret server and her -- [inaudible] dagen: nancy, your audio, we will get that fixed. todd, it's unthinkable that merrick garland, the attorney general of the united states didn't sign off of this and unthinkable tha

your response to what you just heard from christopher wray? >> yeah.'s a significant threat. it's more than a significant threat. we have more than five times the number of individuals on the terrorist watch list that have attempted to come into our country through the southern border this year versus last year. it's only going to increase. if you think about the world's security and terrorist situation, if i am a terrorist, i would certainly try to enter through the southern border and it is -- i think we're going to have really bad outcomes if the coming years because of this lack of border enforcement because of joe biden's policies that are allowing millions of people in illegally into our country. maria: yes. so connect the dots for us because we're looking at the migrants coming off of the bus right now. these are live pictures, obviously. and they are about to come off of this bus, this bus is another bus sending the migrants to new york, sending the migrants to d.c. because greg abbott wants leaders in other big cities to understand what texas

. >> betty, you reported part of the reason chris wray got his job is because he's quote boring and stays out of the spotlight. how could the release of this affidavit change that? >> there is no question that it's already put a massively increased level of focus on the burro, not just from sort of your typical political observers but also, extreme hostility from trump supporters on the very far right. the fbi itself has warned its law enforcement partners that violent threats from that particular cohort could escalate as there is further law enforcement activity related to the people mixed-up in the mar-a-lago search warrant being executed. that's part of the reason that this affidavit could, could, could, could, not necessarily will be so interesting this morning. not only are we hoping to get more information about the materials the fbi wanted to get back and contents of the boxes but also we're hoping it will cast light on why the fbi and the doj concluded that the only way to get all this stuff was by using such an intrusive tool as joyce put it by using one of the most aggressive st

even director christopher wray had to face some tough questions over it.>> isn't it true that mr. thibault, agent thibault, excuse me, and fbi supervisorst supervisory intelligence ant list brian auten covered up derogatory information about mr. hunter biden while working for the fbi? >> well, again, i want to be very careful not to interfere with ongoing personnel matters. >> brian: that's about as emotional as you will see him get. even bill belichick said pick it up a little. they investigated him. he was walking out of the building and now the fbi want you to think they rooted out the bias problem. merrick garland new doj prohibit agents from attending partisan political event. about time. don't be fooled. if we have learned anything, it's that washington rewards these people. in fact, the white house just appointed one of the intel officials who lied and called hunter biden's laptop russian disinformation, one of the 51, they just named him to the president's intel advisory board. and now thibault just gets to retire instead of getting arrested. wray

coming up, fbi boss christopher wray grilled on capital bill.some of the highest levels, just complained that donald trump supporters are no different than the terrorists of al qaeda. so much for the new era of journalism. this guy chris look at fake news cnn, maybe it's time for them to go back to stephen colbert where he came from. later tonight, new york has gone from bad to worse as the city refuses to lock up repeat offenders, all in the name of social justice. now many residents are forced to take matters into their own hands. we're going to talk what local boxing and mma coach leapt into action against a violent criminal, but first we begin tonight with a common theme from the biden white house and that is one of weakness. take a look. >> i must admit, i spoke about the possibility of my being able to buy one of those corvettes that are electric vehicles and i'm not going to be able to do it because i can drive a vehicle while i am present beer >> good for the economy and the environment. >> thank you. is it all right if i ask a question,

he left office in january 2021, he thought that christopher wray had defected, gone to the other sideso it is pretty hard to argue that your own aplenty who you codified and somehow engaged in a witch—hunt, and of course, he is not a political aplenty, he has not run for office in his life, but the point you're asking, what does this mean, politically? trump will lose some support in the short run once we have more disclosure. in the long run i think it will depend on what kind of criminal charges may be forthcoming, which could be far more devastating than a search warrant. on that point, mr trump's detractors often looking for some kind of conviction of guilt, prosecution, mrtrump's guilt, prosecution, mr trump's supporters guilt, prosecution, mrtrump's supporters looking for vindication and being found innocent, what do you think will happen in this case? i believe that if there is an indictment it would be tried in the us district court, district of columbia, the district of columbia would not be favourable to mr drum, it was about 99% democrat. i reside in the district of columbi
