>> HUNTER BIDEN GETTING BAILED OUT AGAIN BY HIS DAD, THE WHISTLE-BLOWER CLAIMS THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS MISHANDLING THE CASE AGAINST HUNTER AND THERE’S A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. THE WHISTLE-BLOWER’S ATTORNEY SAYS HE IS WILLING TO SPILL THE BEANS TO CONGRESS.

>> MY CLIENT IS READY TO COME TO CONGRESS AND BE QUESTIONED ABOUT WHAT HE EXPERIENCED UNDER PROPER LEGAL PROTECTIONS. >> WOULD YOU FIND EVIDENCE OR ALLEGATION OF A POLITICAL AGENDA? >> NO. TO HIM THE TRUTH IS ONE TRUTH. AND HE WANTS TO COME

FORWARD WITH IT. THE THINGS HE HAS BEEN THROUGH ARE VERY WELL DOCUMENTED IN EMAILS AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. >> THE WHITE HOUSE GIVING VALUABLE INSIGHT HERE. >> I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR HERE. AS YOU KNOW, THE PRESIDENT

RESPECTS THE RULE OF LAW AND THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. HE BELIEVES THAT’S WHAT THEY SHOULD BE, IN THIS ADMINISTRATION WE BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE INDEPENDENT. I’M NOT GOING TO GO BEYOND THAT. >> DOES THE WHITE HOUSE SUPPORT GIVING THE IRS

AGENT — >> FOR THE STATE OF TRANSPARENCY, AND DON’T POLITICIZE THIS, THE PRESIDENT IS VERY CLEAR THIS IS SOMETHING FOR DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE WHICH IS INDEPENDENT. >> YEAH. OKAY. BUT A TOP DEMOCRAT IS TAKING IT VERY SERIOUSLY.

>> I CONCUR WITH THE BELIEF THERE SHOULD BE NO INTERFERENCE IN THESE INVESTIGATIONS. WE TAKE ALL WHISTLE-BLOWER STATEMENTS SERIOUSLY AS WE SHOULD. SOME TURN OUT TO BE VERY IMPORTANT AND SOME NOT. BUT WE TAKE THEM ALL SERIOUSLY AT THE OUTSET

AND LOOK AT THEM CLOSELY. >> LOOKS LIKE THE WHISTLE-BLOWER IS TAKING A LOT OF PRECAUTION, NOT SHARING EVERYTHING WITH HIS LAWYER, TO PROTECT HIMSELF, DOESN’T WANT TO GET PERSECUTED HERE. I REMEMBER WHEN WHISTLE-BLOWERS IN THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WERE HELD AS HEROES.

WHAT’S GOING ON FOR HUNTER? >> Jeanine: I THINK IT IS INTERESTING THAT THIS NOW BASED ON WHAT MARK LYTLE IS SAYING, HE IS ALLEGING THIS GUY IS NOT POLITICAL ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. WE HAVE SEEN WHISTLE-BLOWERS COME AND GO, THEY’RE KIND OF

TOUCHED OR INVOLVED IN POLITICS. I LIKE THE WAY THIS SOUNDS. IT IS UP TO THE INSPECTOR GENERAL FOR DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO MAKE A DECISION WHETHER OR NOT THIS GUY IS GOING TO BE GIVEN WHISTLE-BLOWER STATUS WHICH YOU WOULD NEED WITH

THIS ADMINISTRATION, BUT WHAT’S INTERESTING IS THAT HE IS A SENIOR PERSON IN THE IRS AND CLAIMS TO HAVE A LOT OF EVIDENCE THAT’S NOT JUST BASED UPON BELIEVE ME AND NOT HIM. HERE’S THE EVIDENCE, HERE’S THE DOCUMENTS, HERE’S THE EMAILS.

LET ME SAY ONE MORE THING. HE SAYS THAT HE HAS INFORMATION THAT CONTRADICTS HIGHLY APPOINTED POLITICAL APPOINTEE IN THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND IT APPEARS THAT HE IS GOING TO CONTRADICT WHAT MERRICK GARLAND, THE ATTORNEY GENERAL SAID BEFORE THE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE

WHEN HE SAID I HAVE PLEDGED NOT TO INTERFERE WITH THE INVESTIGATION, I HAVE CARRIED THROUGH ON MY PLEDGE. NOW, IF THE WHISTLE-BLOWER IS CREDIBLE AND RELIES ON DOCUMENTS, IS NOT POLITICAL, AND GETS THAT WHISTLE-BLOWER STATUS, THEN FOR ONE OF THE FEW

TIMES AND WE WONDERED ABOUT THIS GUY A LONG TIME, CALLING PARENTS A DOMESTIC TERRORIST, TIME TO TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THIS GUY, MERRICK GARLAND, AND HIS POLITICIZATION OF DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. NO GRAND JURY INVESTIGATION TAKES FIVE YEARS. OKAY? 2018 TO 2023.

THAT’S NONSENSE. >> WE TALKED ABOUT POLLS, PRESIDENT BIDEN IS DOING GREAT, BUT HIS BEST SPOKESPERSON SAYS TALK TO THE IRS, DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. >> Dana: THE PRESS SECRETARY IN MARCH, UNCHARACTERISTICALLY BROKE THE SEAL AND SHE WAS FIRST TIME EVER SHE HAD

COMMENTED ON HUNTER BIDEN AND THE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST HIM SAYING IT WAS A BUNCH OF LIES AND BAD POLITICS, AND AT THE TIME IT WAS LIKE OH, WHOA, IS THE WHITE HOUSE NOW OFFICIALLY GOING TO BE DEFENDING HUNTER BIDEN. NOW, THEY HAVE A

SPOKESPERSON AT THE WHITE HOUSE COUNSEL OFFICE, IAN SAMS, VERY GOOD AT WHAT HE DOES. THAT’S WHEREAS PRESS SECRETARY YOU CAN SAY I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE ECONOMY, YOU CAN CALL IAN, YOU HAVE HIS NUMBER. I DON’T HAVE ANYTHING ON THAT.

THAT’S THE RIGHT PLACE TO BE FOR A PRESS SECRETARY, SO THE PRESS IS RIGHT TO BE SKEPTICAL. VERY INTERESTED TO SEE WHAT THE WHISTLE-BLOWER HAS TO SAY BECAUSE HIS ATTORNEY, I DON’T KNOW WHAT THIS GUY IS LIKE IN TERMS OF THE

WHISTLE-BLOWER, BUT HIS ATTORNEY IS SOBER MINDED, HAS CLARITY OF PURPOSE. THIS IS MY CLIENT, I AM GOING TO DO MY BEST FOR HIM, LET’S LISTEN TO WHAT HE HAS TO SAY. HE WILL BE ON SPECIAL REPORT TONIGHT. >> TALKING ABOUT HUNTER

BIDEN, THE CHARGES ARE THE INVESTIGATION GOES DOWN TO DID HE LIE ABOUT DRUGS WHEN PURCHASING A GUN IRONICALLY ENOUGH. TALKING SIX BIDEN FAMILY MEMBERS DOWN TO GRANDKIDS, NIECES, NEPHEWS THAT CHAIRMAN JAMES COMBER IS BRINGING UP SAYING THESE PEOPLE ARE RECEIVING MONEY

AND AT LEAST HUNTER WAS ON THE BOARD OF AN ENERGY COMPANY. LET’S LISTEN TO WHAT ELSE HE HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS. >> I DON’T SEE HOW JOE BIDEN COULD NOT BE COMPROMISED. I MEAN, THESE FAMILY MEMBERS AREN’T ENERGY EXPERTS, THEY WEREN’T ON

BOARDS. AT LEAST WITH BAR IS MA, HUNTER SAT ON A BOARD, THERE ARE NO OTHER BOARDS WE CAN FIND THAT FAMILY MEMBERS SAT ON, CERTAINLY NOT THE GRANDCHILDREN AND NIECES AND NEPHEWS AND IN LAWS, THINGS LIKE THAT. SO WHAT WERE THEY DOING,

WHY WERE THEY GETTING THIS MUCH MONEY. THE WALLS ARE CLOSING IN ON THE BIDEN FAMILY. >> IS JOE BIDEN COMPROMISED. >> >> Greg: WHY DOES HE SAY THE WALLS ARE CLOSING IN. DON’T SAY THAT. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE

WHOLE EXPERIENCE OF THE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY, YOU REALIZE YOU DON’T NEED A WHISTLE-BLOWER. EVERYTHING THEY DO IS LIKE YOU’RE LOOKING AT IT, GOING OKAY, YOU DON’T HAVE TO BLOW A WHISTLE ON ILLEGAL DRUG USE, GUN CHARGE, EVEN THE FINANCIAL DOUBLE DEALINGS, SELLING

OF INFLUENCE, I MEAN, YOU DON’T NEED A WHISTLE-BLOWER WITH HUNTER. YOU WOULD LITERALLY DIE. HE HAS BEEN BLOWING HIS OWN WHISTLE. NO PUN INTENDED. ALSO PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE. TWO QUESTIONS. WHAT WERE THE TWO QUESTIONS? SOMEONE HAD TO REPORT

INCOME TO THE GOVERNMENT. WHY HASN’T ONE JOURNALIST ASKED WHO IS PAYING THE TAXES. I THINK WE ASKED THAT A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. FOLLOW THE MONEY. THAT’S WHAT THEY’RE DOING. REPORTERS ARE BUSY SNIPPING TRUMP’S W-2s. THE SECOND QUESTION, WHO

PUSHED THE 50 INTEL AGENT LETTER. TO SIGN THAT LETTER. I THINK THEY HAVE AN ANSWER. MIKE MOREL, FELLOW SPOOK, RAN CIA, THEN CLAIMS BLINKEN WAS THE ONE WORKING FOR BIDEN. THIS IS SUCH DEEP STATE STUFF, IT IS INSANE.

>> HOW OFTEN DO YOU SAY THINGS LIKE THE HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP IS MORE FODDER FOR POLITICS THAN SOMETHING WORTH OUR TIME AND EFFORT, IS THIS AN INVESTIGATION WORTH CONGRESS’ TIME. >> NEVER SAID IT AS ELOQUENTLY AS YOU.

I THINK OF PUT UP OR SHUT UP. HUNTER BIDEN, FIVE YEARS, JUDGE, YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, FIVE YEARS. MONEY LAUNDERING, TAXES, LOBBYING. ARE YOU TELLING ME THE BEST YOU HAVE IS ANOTHER WHISTLE-BLOWER? IF THERE’S A WHISTLE-BLOWER, WHY ISN’T

HE A WITNESS IN THE DELAWARE U.S. ATTORNEY’S PROBE? WHY ISN’T HE A WITNESS IN ONE OF THE CRIMINAL PROBES? WHAT’S HE DOING HANGING AROUND WITH POLITICIANS AND — >> Jeanine: HE DOESN’T WANT TO LOSE HIS JOB. >> Geraldo: WHAT ABOUT

HUNTER BIDEN HAS BEEN ACCUSED OF THE MOST VILE THINGS FOR OVER FIVE YEARS. >> Jeanine: NOT ACCUSED. YOU CAN SEE IT ON HIS LAPTOP. >> Geraldo: HAS HE BEEN CHARGED WITH ANYTHING? >> Jeanine: THAT IS PRECISELY THE QUESTION.

>> Dana: THAT’S WHY THE WHISTLE-BLOWER IS COMING FORWARD. >> Greg: IT IS THE FINANCIAL STUFF, THE CORRUPTION. >> Geraldo: WHERE IS IT? >> Jeanine: YOU HAVE TO GET PERMISSION FROM THE DEPUTY — OKAY. YOU HAVE TO GET PERMISSION FROM THE DEPUTY ATTORNEY

GENERAL IN ORDER TO INDICT HIM. >> Geraldo: TRUMP APPOINTED THE U.S. ATTORNEY IN DELAWARE, NOT BIDEN. >> Jeanine: YEAH. AND BIDEN HAS KEPT HIM ON UNDER GARLAND. >> Geraldo: HUNTER IS —
