♪ >> bret: but, first, breaking news tonight. the chairman of the house intelligence committee is describing president biden as a, quote: serial classified document hoarder. that comment from congressman mike turner comes after the fbi seized additional classified documents from the president's delaware home. turmoil over this scandal comments as white house chief of staff john kayleigh mcenany prepares to leave his job at the president's side. a big change in the white house now under peter doocy joins us. >> we learned tonight when the houses they are fully cooperating they mean with the doj because the white house coucounsel written back to james comer the oversight committee chairman saying they will work to accommodate legitimate oversight interest. they do not say they will work to accommodate all oversight interest. and that's as comer is also

hoping for a response from the secret service about biden visitor information. >> the fbi was invited into the president's home. >> now we know while president biden was meeting with mayors and flying on marine one friday, fbi agents were in his primary residence performing a 13-hour long search. >> the president and his lawyers offered up access, unprecedented access i should add, to every single room of the president's personal home. >> according to biden's personal attorneys, the fbi took several of biden's belongings, quote: including items consisting of documents with classification marks. some dating back to his days as a senator. >> i go to a scif and i have to give over my phone. and i'm not allowed to take any documents outside of the scif. so, i really don't understand how those documents got in to a personal residence. >> president biden's indication of a statement on this topic. >> any more [inaudible] in your

home, sir? >> never materialized. >> i think this is a big deal for his 2024 plans. i think they might have been in question anyway. >> white house chief of staff ron klain is set to exit soon. reportedly to be jeff zients as democrats struggle to defend the president's document mess. >> embarrassed by the situation as he should have been. >> some distancing themselves from the president's defiant defense. >> i have no regrets. >> i think he should have a lot of regrets, yeah. >> the democrats stress the president is cooperating. republicans are skeptical. >> this has all the pattern of an influence peddling scheme. it also has the makings of a potential cover-up. >> is president biden involved in a cover-up? >> we have been very clear here from this administration, the president has been very clear that he takes this very seriously when it comes to the -- when it comes to classified information.

>> this is the first time a sitting president has had a home searched by the fbi. and the press secretary insists president biden still does intend to run for president, run for re-election in 2024 but they do concede there is no precedent for somebody running for president after having the fbi search their most private quarters. bret? >> bret: the use of fbi agents to search the president's home would seem to escalate the investigation to a new level. and it adds to the growing involvement of the justice department. correspondent david spunt joins us tonight. >> stayed central when asked by fox news appointing appointing two special counsels to investigate two presidents. >> justice department to apply the facts and law in each case and reach appropriate decisions in a nonpartisan and neutral way with regard to to who the

subjects are. >> spent 13 hours searching. the fbi source was consensual. >> usually that happens under circumstances where the government has grounds to get a criminal search warrant. >> mr. president in this case there was no warrant and the president was warned in advance. >> planned only means they knew he was coming which is why the president probably spent the weekend at rehoboth when they're going to search wilmington. >> the president has said his property in rehoboth beach, delaware does not contain any classified documents but fox news has learned authorities may search there and other locations connected to biden, as agents searched the wilmington home, his lawyers watched, juxtapose that with the unannounced search of former president donald trump's home. authorities came armed with a warrant and trump's lawyers

claimed they were left in the dark during the search. the former president fought with the national archives and justice department for months leading to the unannounced fbi raid in august. >> president biden's team turned over documents to the national archives as soon as they were found but the first batch was discovered a week before the november midterms and the only reason, bret, we found out about them more than two months later is because the story broke in the news. so the question was the white house going to come out with this before the news broke with it? doesn't seem to be. >> bret: david, thank you. ♪ >> bret: breaking tonight, a retired fbi official, one of the top officials in counterintelligence has been arrested on charges he violated u.s. sanctions against russia working for and getting paid by a russian oligarch. those are the charges. senior national correspondent rich edson has details tonight. good evening, rich. >> good evening, bret. prosecutors have indicted the former special agent in charge of counterintelligence at the fbi in new york.

they accuse him of using his position to help a heavily sanctioned russian oligarch. charles mcgonigle allegedly asked for and received $225,000 to work for ohleg delaware pose can a. prosecutors say he agreed to investigate a rival oligarch tried to get him off the u.s. sanctions list, even opened a criminal investigation at the fbi. attorney general merrick garland was asked about such a high profile law enforcement official who allegedly betrayed the fbi. >> i believe there is a press release from the southern district of new york and from the district of columbia where the two different sets of charges are made and i really can't go beyond that. >> fbi director chris wray said in a statement, quote: the way we maintain the trust and confidence of the american people is through our work showing when all the facts come out that we stuck to the process and we treated everyone equally, even when it is one of our own. the fbi will go to great lengths

to investigate and hold accountable anyone who violates the law including when the individual accusing him of ties to the kremlin, money laundering, extortion, racketeering and ordering the medical record murder of a businessman. also a client of paul manafort donald trump's campaign manager for a few months in 2016. in 2018 manafort was convicted of financial crimes. mcgonegal was a senior intelligence official in washington before 2016 and likely would have at least been briefed on crossfire hurricane the trump-russia investigation began the previous july. bret? >> bret: we'll follow. this rich, thank you. let's bring in fox news political analyst brit hume. brit, good evening. i want to talk to you about the document search and the

president's reaction to it and his party. quickly, the reaction to another development with the fbi. i mean, it does not seem like it's been a good couple of months. >> brit: black eye for the fbi handling of donald trump matter and earlier the hillary clinton matter and now for its on again, off again participation in the biden's paper questions. a lot on the fbi's plate. real feelings that this agency needs reformed. this will only add to voices saying that. >> over the decades we have seen presidents deal with different adversity, different charges, different investigations. here is just a touch, a lookback at how they dealt with it. >> people have got to know whether or not their president is a crook well, i'm not a crook. >> we did not -- i repeat, did not trade wednesday or anything else for hostages. >> i'm going to say this again: i did not have sexual relations with that woman. >> i think you're gonna find

there's nothing there. i have no regrets. there's no there there. thank you. >> bret: the "wall street journal" says that joe biden's no regrets presidency, one of president biden's political character traits is his manifest disdain for anyone who questions his behavior or judgment. this has been on full display and drawing him deeper into a political morass. it appears he felt entitled to take classified documents home while a senator. did he put them in his briefcase to read on amtrak? the threat here is more political than criminal. the president had better hope there isn't more there there or he might find his hope for a second term in jeopardy. that's from the "wall street journal." your thoughts on all of this? >> brit: i have to say, bret, in the anales of presidential denials, the one you heard about no regrets and no there there was the most unfortunate than i can remember for several reasons. let's take, for example, what we learned over the weekend that he took documents home while he was a senator, a senator has no

authorization whatsoever to remove a classified document from the security compartmentalized information facility that they have on capitol hill let alone take one out of that room. let alone out of the building and let alone home and then who hold on to it for lo these many years. that was utterly indefensible and the president's defense regrettable no sooner than he said this than this turned out. >> bret: quickly, brit, where do you think this goes? obviously it runs its course. >> brit: well, now the assertion so different from what donald trump did. it's different in what donald trump did in one way that is

behind these classified documents that is the argument is the president behaved better after he got caught but make no mistake about it he got caught. there's no way around it. and it will stand on the record going forward no matter what the justice department or anybody else does. >> bret: a rally for tech stocks today sent the stocks up. dow gained 254. the nasdaq rose 224 today. up next, we talked about the growing tensions over china and taiwan. what the senator who just returned from the island nation. first, here is what some mexico's former top law enforcement official. gathers luna possible decades of prison time over allegations he accepted millions of dollars in bribes from a drug cartel he was supposedly trying to stop. prosecutors say luna helped the sinaloa cartel by not

>> bret: washington at this thank says the u.s. industrial base is not adequately prepared for the international security environment that now exists. the center for strategic and international studies says its own war games indicate the u.s. use of munitions would likely

exceed the current stockpiles during a major regional conflict such as war with china and the taiwan strait. the report says the u.s. would likely run out of some munitions in less than a week. the war in ukraine has also exposed serious deficiencies in the industrial base. tonight we want to talk about the situation with taiwan and china. todd young says every member of congress should visit the island and see for themselves. he is recently back from the visit and he joins us this evening. senator young, thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me, bret. >> bret: just back. your sense of where things stand today. how taiwan looks at it and obviously china's aggression happens week-to-week. >> yeah, bret. this visit was really important at this period of time. as the first member of congress to visit taiwan this year and i think the coming year and really the next few years are going to be essential as we hear that the population is declining in china. they have a botched covid

response and that's broadly recognized and they have economic problems. there may be a push by chinese leadership xi jinping, in particular, to increase the threat of military invasion which is why the taiwanese have been upping their military game, partnering with us on military training issues and acquiring more a symmetric weapons. i was there to reassure them that there is unity amidst an atmosphere of disunity oftentimes here in washington on this issue for the most part there is unity that we need to continue to invest in the relationship because it will cost us less to do so in the long run despite the walking back some of the things president biden has said saying we will stand up and be taiwan and the white house walking that back and saying our policy hasn't changed you are saying there is unity if china attacks taiwan are we in that game. we are, whether we like it or not, we are part of an order and

we benefit order defends democratic values and open trade and that's been our way of life post world war ii. so we need to, just as we are resourcing the are ukrainians to fight on their front against russian aggression we need to give the taiwanese what they need to contain china and ensure that a free and open pacific is something americans benefit from. >> bret: china continues to talk about this in a very aggressive way. here is just recent foreign ministry. >> only when china is fully reunified can there be true peace across the taiwan strait. china will take the most forceful steps to expose external interference. >> bret: so, you know, they are talking about it very aggressively. then when you look at something that you have dealt with a lot, semiconductors taiwan. "new york times" writes. this americans must win semiconductor war. if china took control of taiwan and cut off our chip supply that would be economically

devastating, akin to or worse than the loss of oil exports from the major middle eastern producer. first of all, do you agree with that and second of all you dealt with the chips act. how long are we going to take before we are competitive outside of taiwan on that front? >> i do agree with that statement. chips are arguably more valuable in today's economy than hydrocarbons. you can't turn on and off anything with an on-off switch these days without microchips embedded in the device or automobile or weapon system. we need access to our own domestic supply. the chips in science act will get us that we are in the early stages of implementing that legislation. it of course takes a couple year to build these computer chip plants. these fabs that are often in the news. >> bret: we're two, three years from being able to compete on that front. >> that's right. we are a couple years from competing. that said, we have already improved our resiliency in part

because members and the administration nor focused working other countries. a broader narrative the chinese are trying to weaponize our economic interdepend dense of the country. they became the workshop of the world and they aim to make higher end things not just toys and assembling automobiles but ultimately designing and making these computer chips. so they threatened on a number of fronts a number of countries to use that interdependence to their own political benefit. cutting off imports of various things. disrupting supply chains. we can't allow them to do that with a mission critical component like a semiconductor. >> we often talk about the long-term threat from china. there is a near term threat especially for some place like taiwan. do you think that's coming to a head sooner rather than later? >> conventional wisdom said that the actual threat of invasion is ten years or beyond.

thinking that's conventional wisdom informed by this trip as well, you have a declining population botched covid response and slowing growth in china, they fay feel an urgency to go ahead and act. certainly i would say there is more uncertainty about the insenses of xi jinping and the communist right now than there was just months ago. so all the more reason that we need to stay resolute. we need to partner with the taiwanese, japanese, australians and others. and we in congress need to send a message of unity by investing in security and important relationships. >> bret: last thing, in your party, there are sections that feel like there is too much money going to ukraine. there is too much thought about other things and perhaps taiwan hasn't come up specifically in legislation but there is talk about this. are you worried about that faction and how that sits with what you see? >> i understand where they are coming from, which is a lot of

money has been spent of late. we are recovering from a global pandemic and we need to establish priorities. the job of our federal government. our government generally is to keep people safe and secure so they can go on and carry on their daily lives. this is our most fundamental responsibility. the threat has gone. and the cost of war, of armed conflict is far greater, far greater than avoiding war, which is what we all aim to do. >> bret: senator young, we appreciate your time come back. >> thanks, bret. >> bret: the slaughter of 11 people at southern california dance studio and lunar new year celebrations we will have a live report there and domestic terrorism charges after protests turn violent in atlanta. now adt professionally installs turn violent in atlanta. ♪

those documents should not have been in the personal possession of either joe biden or donald trump. let's be honest about it when the information is found it diminishes the stature of any person who is in possession of it. >> the attorney general today and some lawmakers over the weekend reacting to the biden document situation the scandal has developed. andy mccarthy and "the national review" why biden consented to fbi search. birched has decided to pose as a dedicated public servant who cooperates unfailingly with law enforcement because he has nothing to hide. don't fall for it. team biden has been playing games for two month and clearly not only does the in the have things to hide he has been hiding some of them for over 15 years with that, bring in our panel, mollie hemingway editor and chief at the federalist. byron york, chief political correspondent at the washington examiner and mara liasson national political correspondent of "national public radio." mara, your sense in the white house, obviously they are not saying much there. they are pointing everybody to the white house council's office

and the doj. but has this evolved and even more documents were found it is frustrating. >> frustrating for democrats. that's for sure. >> this is a classic drip, drip, drip story we don't know what the documents are we don't what the mar-a-lago documents are. every day you get a headline another document found keeps the story alive when a lot of democrats are becomes exasperated and frustrated because this is hurting joe biden just as he is about to run for re-election. this is the kind of thing that we're going to have to wait for the special counsel in both of these cases to find out what actually both of these men were keeping in their residences. >> bret: mollie? >> i think joe biden has a very difficult situation here of his own making. this does go back decades. his handling of classified information. he needs to be transparent. he has had this very effective

rollout of the information. we don't know why he was hoarding these documents. i think a lot of people reasonably surmise that it's related to the biden family business where people were trading on his name and power to get money for the family. by working with foreign oligarchs or powerful foreign governments. ukrainian oligarchs or chinese communist officials. and he is going to need to be as transparent as possible without further violating classified statutes if he wants to survive this. >> classified material can run the gamut, byron as we know 108e written notes classifications. some use those for memoirs down the road. arguably there is some of this is actual documents in folders at least that's what we're being told material taken out of classified place bias a senator and by perhaps a vice president. >> yes and we need a lot more clarity about it from the white house.

first of all, we're still getting this stonewall in the white house briching room. real questions what the president's lawyer bob bauer has said. he described the recent search of the house in wilmington. said the fbi took six items consisting of documents six pieces of paper or a box? it can if you look at the inventory the justice department released after the mar-a-lago raid in the trump document case they used the word item to refer to a box maybe 10 classified pieces of paper. 12 top secret piece of paper and 100 unclassified things in it. we don't know what the justice department has actually found and, thus, how serious the case is. >> bret: these investigations raunching not only the special counsel but up on the hill as well i want to turn to the

situation china and taiwan. todd young on the show earlier. >> whether we like it or not we are part of an order and we benefit from an order that defend democrat values and way of trade and that's been our way of life post world war ii. we need to just as we are resourcing the ukrainians to fight on their front against russian aggression. we need to continue to give the taiwanese what they need to contain china. >> bret: mara, he is just back from taiwan and his timeline for confrontation is a little shorter than other people. >> that's right. look, and kevin mccarthy is about to go taiwan. nancy pelosi went to taiwan. i mean, china is watching what happens? ukraine very carefully. and the que question is their te away going to be whoa, we better not move against a country that's going to be heavily armed with united states help, et cetera. or should we do it all of a sudden? we don't know what kind of

conclusions they are drawing. but, i think one of the questions and you did ask the senator 'this how steadfast is the current republican majority in the house about helping countries like ukraine and taiwan? there's a realize labor relationist wing in the party. many of them are turning against helping countries like ukraine and taiwan. sending them arms. we'll see if that holds up. >> bret: mollie, your thoughts on that. >> this is a weird way to talk about how many americans want to make sure that our foreign policy serves our national interest. and it is true that there are threats abroad, particularly with china, which is growing in ininfluence operations throughout the world. and people who are very worried about our resources that we have in this country, how much money we have. how much of our supply is being drawn down by what happened with china. not isolationist to care what is happening in china and make sure that we are well-situated to be able to handle that in terms of our financial situation and our

military situation. >> bret: semiquick tore question and all that's in taiwan building to it but going to take years have a question about whether the president isen othis. take a listen to this. he said it about four times. >> are you willing to get involved militarily to defend taiwan if it comes to that? >> yes. >> you are? >> four times the white house walked that back saying it wasn't a change in policy which kind of muddies the waters. >> yeah. and you asked senator young if china attacks taiwan are we in the game? and he said yes. that's just the way it is right now. good for senator young and kevin mccarter and nancy pelosi to express u.s. support of taiwan but one thing china might be seeing is a country disarming

itself right now american armed stockpiles. the number of javelin missiles sent to ukraine since last august. equals seven years of production. we are disarming ourselves in this proxy war right now. and, unless we rearm ourselves really fast. not be prepared for a crisis in china and taiwan. >> bret: fascinating. these conversations are going to continue and we will continue it with you all. thank you. be. >> bret: finally tonight special day pizza hut joins with popular uber to break world record for the largest pizza ever. measures nearly 14,000 square feet. baked at the los angeles convention center by army of passionate pizza preppers. pie made with more than 13,000
