, and james biden and hallie biden, the wife and later girlfriend of hunter biden. and then as you note there is another biden we don't know about who says biden on the bank records, the house oversight committee looking into that. what was this money for? the bidens didn't produce anything, just money given for an unclear purpose and the inescapable conclusion is it is access. will: to the question that matters, what did china give in exchange for this money. this is what hunter biden's legal team says, he's a private citizen with every right to pursue his own business endeavors and in a joint venture with privately owned legitimate energy company, one in china and as part of that venture hunter received a portion of good faith seed fund collapse. and he was involved at the time in sharing the expenses. they say this is a right wing conspiracy, an individual doing business with the family. >> what else can they say? how many right-wing conspiracies turned out to be true? the answer is president biden is the reason it is not a private citizen doing private business

the big question is, why hasn't a special counsel been appointed for hunter biden? how is it the president's son can be investigated by the justice department outside special counsel regulations that we were told repeatedly were sacrosanct. but when it came to trump, the rules changed with biden. i jokingly say this, i do not think there is a double standard. there is a single standard when it comes to the justice department's approach. protect democrats, target trump and others they consider to be on the wrong side of the political aisle. it is consistent the last few years. host: independent line from mississippi. caller: how are you doing? guest: good morning. caller: yes, sir. i am looking on the screen about your occupation, you saying the investigation of the president is wrong, you also -- you are supposed to be a professional and be honest. on the special counsel, doing an investigation about the very thing we are talking about, it turns out the special counsel was working together to find information on hunter biden, but then they went overseas together to

in response hunter biden's legal team said the funds stopped at haley, james and hunter. hunter biden a private citizen to pursue his business endeavors sought to seek a joint venture with a legitimate energy company in china. as part of that he received his portion of good faith seed funds which he shared with his uncle james biden and haley biden who was involved with at the time and sharing expenses. house oversight committee chair james comer. >> i don't think hunter biden can to try to type of service to generate millions of dollars from the chinese communist party but i believe his father could. when they say joe biden wasn't involved, we don't know that. we just know that joe biden met with a lot of these people that ended up going into business with hunter or ended up paying hunter, rather, and the family. >> the white house weighing in on this. after discussing attacks lamenting deceased son beau was not -- congressman comer decided to go after beau's widow. comer said the investigation will continue. we have breaking news from a short time ago. hunter biden has

to hunter biden. will you be exploring any next us between working in the white house on the part of his wife at the time these payments went to hunter biden? >> absolutely. because remember, this is an investigation of joe biden. and this deal was set up during 2015 and 2016 when joe biden was squarely seated in the office of vice president. so, joe biden was involved. we know that he met with many of these people who were linked to this chinese communist party backed energy company. we know joe biden took his son to china. we know that joe biden entertained the associates, the other two associates that were involved in this so called business deal. so, joe biden's fingerprints are all over this deal. another thing i want to remind everyone, this is just one deal. we think there are 13 different deals from various countries around the world, mainly china, that we are going to look into. so, we've gotten one set of bank records. we have another 12 sets to go. this is in the beginning stages, what we'v

hunter biden is not a white house official. hunter biden has no role in the white house. as far as we know, having covered the biden administration, he's firewalled from that sort of access. and i think politically, this is a problem for the biden white house because this comes at a time when they are trying to message that they are taking a hard approach towards china and they are telling americans like we limit your access to tiktok. if you were trying to make the case that you're taking the high ride and china is a national security threat, whether it's fair or not, whether it's legitimate or not muddies the ability to make that argument. i think it's confusing to a lot of citizens. so the questions if you're watching this, how much should you be worried about this. at this moment, there's absolutely no evidence that anything sleazy that hunter biden did has cross ed into the white house decision. >> that's a key point. donald trump is trying to raise money off this right now. if you look at the actions on tiktok, sending australia, the president is taking some steps r

and i've been saying that from day one, that it's an investigation of joe biden, not hunter biden, because they were paying for joe biden. i mean, they were paying for time or, you know, influence, whatevers the, from a sitting vice president. but there was something on the laptop that was also informative where hunter biden is talking to a colleague, somebody who was representing the china partnership, right? >> yes. there was a message that hunter was very frustrated with one of these business partners many if china that he had done every blanking thing they had ever asked of him. and, of course, this would have been when joe biden was vice president. and he reminded them that they had never done anything in return for him. and then a few weeks later this $3 million wire appears in the walker account, and the very next day they distributed money to hunter biden and then at least who the other family members and possibly three family members. so so there's evidence in the laptop that shows that hunter biden was communicating with them and had had interactions and cone things for them whil

hunter biden said i don't know. and to abc's credit, they said maybe because your father is the haven't in charge of ukraine? probably. yeah. makes sense. how do you get all of that money without any experience? anyway, in a statement, hunter biden's spokesperson, they finally got back to us. glad to see that. they say they didn't deny the payments. they called the investigation a wild and baseless right wing conspiracy. where have we heard that before? hunter biden, a private citizen with every right to pursue his own business endeavors, joined several business partners in seeking a joint venture with a privately owned legitimate energy company in china. it was all above board according to hunter. now, thankfully house oversight committee chairman james comer is following the money and he joins us now with more. all right. let me -- let's get to the facts in this case. we're now following the money. i understand that at the treasury department they have agreed to hand over the suspicious activity reports. in other

hunter biden claiming that his laptop was misappropriated and his privacy invaded. but in the same breath in the lawsuit, he said , well, ito might not actually becann my laptop. you cannot sueotue based on a me that's like saying, oh,want t my house was damaged.o i want to ber paid for it.be but actually , it might not really be my house. sill they'd have to amend this silly complaint to go further. but, you know, on top of that, he cites a one year law thatiteo says property is abandoned after a yearthat. well, that's true. unless there is an agreement, a contract. after 90 and he signed a contract saying it's abandoned after 90 days if i don't come get it. it. but on top of that, throughoutth the contract, he didn't try l to retrieve his own laptop until more tha n a year. the so he didn't even comply h with the law. that he is citing in his lawsuit. so it is silly and frivolous, y but it doesn't surprise me. it's huckerban y. hun >> but the super quickly, doagre you agree with that? >> and you'll you know,with there'll be a lot oft of depositions and there'll be

hunter biden are in the purview of the u.s. attorney in delaware. it's not restricted in his investigation in any way. >> you don't comment here but then you look at the same time. >> thank you, mister chairman. attorney general garland, you said in our last exchange at your practice to defer to fbi agents in the field when it comes to investigations apprehensions and subjects. i was interested given your answer to read in this morning's washington post that the fbi is saying that you overrule them when it came to rating ex president trump's personal residence. washington post -- showdown before the raid. senior fbi officials who had been in charge of leading the surge resisted doing so. as to combative. proposed -- sikh transformation to search that property. these field agents wanted to shutter the criminal investigation altogether in early june. the post reports. they were overruled by doj. in light of your earlier testimony this morning, my question is how often do you overrule fbi field agents for political purposes? >> i ask him that article.

the two russian on darks, hunter biden did business with. the which coast former mayor of moscow, and vladimir kashebkof. is there a reason toss sanction them? >> yes. my expert colleague steven nelson who wrote this terrific story talked to various experts about sanctions and when they should or should not be put on. they find it extremely curious, especially i can't pronounce his name, but the one you just mentioned, he owned a company that was involved in building drones. you would think since the sanctions are being put on in the wake of the ukraine war that he would be a prime candidate. we don't know why the white house hasn't sanctions these two, but this is the problem with joe biden obfuscating and not coming clean about his knowledge and involvement in his son hunter's overseas business dealing. liz: these are very powerful people. we had -- to your story is saying ron johnson, marsha blackburn and james comer are saying they are concerned they weren't sanctioned. u.k. and australia sanctioned him but not the u.s. >> we know there

it is a 42-page counterclaim from hunter biden's attorney, alleges that mac isaac illegally took biden's information from the laptop and made copies and distributed it to multiple people. but he says hunter never retrieved his computer and has done nothing wrong. but they say he improperly accessed files that he admits were none of his business, even though he was never given permission to access or review the data. they released financial records showing multiple members of the president's family received money through a biden family associate tied to a deal with that chinese energy company. the committee wrote, excuse me, the committee is concerned about the national security implications of a president or vice president's immediate family members receiving millions of dollars from foreign nationals or companies without any oversight. the white house responding to that, instead of bizarrely attacking the president's family perhaps house republicans should focus on working with the president to deliver results for the american families on important priorities like lowering costs and str

these disclosures also alleged that joe biden was aware of hunter biden's business arrangements and may have been involved in some of them. we still aren't sure what's been done with this information. the fbi's track record does and create much faith that the information is going to be followed up on. it's clear to me that the justice department and the fbi are suffering from a political infection that if it's not defeated will cause the american people no longer to trust these storied institutions. it will also threaten the american way of life. unfortunately, what you've heard for me, this story of government abuse and political treachery is scarier than fiction. it really happened. mister chairman, your committee here assembled has an opportunity to help us write the last chapter in this real life drama. you must relentlessly produce the facts and the evidence. senator johnson and i will do the same and are willing to work with you. >> senator johnson? >> chairman jordan, ranking member plaskett, members of the select committee, thank you for inviting me to testify about our personal

switching gears now, the probe into hunter biden picking up steam. the house oversight committee now investigating explosive claims made by an israeli energy expert who claims hunter biden used an fbi mole named one eye to tip off his chinese business partners about any federal investigations. mark, chief communications officer at american first policy institute, and fox news contributor, and richard fowler. gentlemen, good to see you. israeli energy expert accused arms dealer, gal luft, he claims he tried to warn the doj hunter biden was getting $100,000 a month, and jim biden $65,000 a month from china before the business dealings there. does not appear to be evidence to back up the claims. what do you make of it, richard? >> i think it's an interesting development and woshth pointing out based on the reporting what we know, john, there is a continuing doj probe into hunter biden that has gone on multiple administration's, starting the obama administration, continued under trump, now under his father, his father had the ability to fire said u.s. at

they were wrong about the hunter biden laptop. they were wrong about the vaccine mandates, about masks, about the wuhan lab leak. wrong about shutting down churches and schools and businesses and they're dead wrong to use their positions to attack americans' free speech. for the current resident of 1600 pennsylvania avenue, the only thing harder than climbing a flight of stairs, riding a bicycle, reading a teleprompter seems to be telling the truth. free speech isn't just for kind speech. or true speech. or widely accepted speech. it is for all speech. and it is worth fighting for and i want to thank my friend and colleague and chairman of the oversight and accountability committee, mr. comer, for his work to preserve free speech in america. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: members are reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the president. the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. goldman: i would like to respond briefly. there's always this talk about collusion between the bide

, hally biden, received chinese money from hunter i biden's associate -- hunter biden's associate, showing she received $35,000 in 2019 after walker reffed money. -- received money. hk hinted was a firm affiliated with the cefc china the energy corporation. this is the china company that we talk about all the timings 10% for the big guy. the first son's legal team dismissed all of it. they say as a private citizen hunter has every right to pursue his own business endeavors. "the new york post" editorial board writes this: there's no possible legit reason hallie biden should have gotten a slice of the payout, but this is a tradition for the bidens. joining me now is hugo girden, washington examiner ed editor in chief. go, so back in 2017, rob walker gets a $3 million wire. a couple days later, money is transferred as part of that $3 million wire, then transfers happen into biden accounts including hallie biden. if your thoughts. >> yeah. this is an extraordinary revelation, maria. you know, the white house, as we knew that they would, have tried to depict this as what they call a hyperparti

and hunter biden and his family have 150? this is for, i mean, if you zoom out from the if hard drive, pretend there was no hard drive and you just knew that, that's a major issue for the american people, and we need to know more about it. elizabeth: it's about allegations of corruption swirling around this president. so so james comer also asked treasury to get documents out of the financial crimes enforcement network. that's a separate network. you know, we know these probes into hunter biden started in 2018. we don't know why they've been delayed, but house oversight chair comer is saying this is a probe of joe biden. what was china paying the bidens for? they don't make anything, they don't manufacture anything, they don't sell anything concern. >> no, that's correct. it's all influence, that's what this is about. at the time when hunter biden was making millions of dollars, he was an active drug addict and alcoholic. he was not producing anything ors there was no manufacturing, it is essentially influence. he was selling

in hands off on the investigation. >> the matter of hunter biden in the hands of the u.s. attorney for the district of delaware who is appointed in the previous administration, plans not to interfere. the attorney in delaware has -- he has full authority to make those kind of referrals that you are talking about or to bring cases in other jurisdictions. >> laura: former fbi assistant director and frequent angle guest chris walker is not buying it. >> he knows what he is supposed to do. he is the surrogate for the administration. he can pledged that he won't interfere all he wants but there is no reason why the u.s. attorney in delaware should be sitting on this case for well over a year. >> laura: what is taking so long? joining me now is james comer picture of the house oversight committee. mr. chairman, do you agree that there's something fishy going on with this elongated timeline? >> there's something very fishy. there's no-no better example of the two tiered system of justice than what we are seeing is happening with hunter biden. he has over $2 million in back taxes

family, but they didn't do anything -- it was a pure bribe. >> jesse: hunter biden wouldn't hire hunter biden that's how bad hunter biden is. >> though he is the smartest person that president biden knows. >> jesse: right. of course. you saw him kind of like run backwards when that reporter asked him about the money going into the family bank. okay. how long -- i mean, with one question, throws the president back like a tornado, would he ever survive like a five-minute interview with a real reporter? >> yeah. and it's also sort of an indictment of the way the press has handled him over the past go years and then the year before that during the campaign e was never asked a tough question the entire time. peter doocy is the only one that ever routinely asks him difficult questions. but he is not used to getting this from other reporters. and, you know, this is mother thing, to me, this is in a lot of ways the most interesting aspect of all of this. so, you know, among -- out of that $3 million that was through rob walker that's divided among the biden clan. 35,000 of it went to hallie bid

did you know that 54% of his voters did not know about hunter biden. then when we told them about its, 9.4% said they would not have. put that across the board, donald trump would have one, nevada, georgia, pennsylvania, michigan, 317 electoral votes they landslide. my answer to you is, they all have to be storytellers. we all have to tell our neighbors what we know because our neighbor is not getting it if they are watching nbc news. [applause] >> it is so true. you are the storytellers. i remember before i started writing. i was going back and forth with mexican food and alternative music. i came across a story that i thought was interesting. i said, you may want to have somebody write about this. he said, you do it. he sent me a writers package and i never stopped. you are the storytellers. it is up to you to use social media and other outlets to get the news out there. you're the poster lady for it, chaya. how many twitter followers do you have now? >> 1.9 million. >> you want to know where they really hate you? chaya: gets more views than santa. >
