from the father, president trenin and rest of his fam family, to absorb your mother in the middle of two very large legal cases that they center right now. to president biden was scheduled to head back to the white house but instead he is going straight to wilmington where the family will gather and talk to hunter, have dinner together, we assume. some of them just had lunch, they said that hunter was smiling and seemed happy at lunch today but in a statement earlier, president biden said he will continue to respect the judicial process as hunter considers an appeal. remember, as i mentioned, hunter is also facing several -- separate further -- federal tax violation charges and those were the things that those whistleblowers at irs agents came from congress and talked about, thing we believe there was -- its something that you have been deeply dug into over the last couple of years. what was your reaction to this very quickly -- terry brekka kirkness mcquigge verdict? >> i think that we would never have seen this if it hadn't been for the irs whistleblowers gary shepley and joey ziegler so you see that the right thing was done when the right people do the right thing and it was at great cost of them. of courses is just the tip of the iceberg of what they were investigating. we will see some of those other charters and the tax fraud trial in california in september of that goes to trial. i wouldn't be surprised if hunter biden takes a plea on that. but really it's the first time that hunter biden has been held accountable. is always counted on his father's power to protect him from having to admit any wrongdoing. he could've -- none of this need have happened if you had just admitted just to a bear minimum even that plea deal last year that ended up collapsing only happened because of the irs whistleblowers. he could have nipped it all in the bud by just, you know, pleading guilty to a couple of misdemeanors maybe and accepting some respons responsibility. but he didn't do that. you just allowed his lawyers to go and bully david wires and the doj under prosecutors threatened them with career suicide. you know, the obstruction and slow walking of that case owes the wrongdoing in that case to the fact that joe biden was quite happy to sit back -- setback 11 doing day to be bullied by his son's lawyers. >> martha: let's take a look at this, this is a june 6 abc interviewed president biden gave to david marron. watch. >> every center in normandy your son, hunter is on trial and annoyed that you can't speak about in ongoing front real prosecution but let me ask you will you accept the jury's outcome? there verdict, a matter is? >> president joe biden: yes. >> and have you ruled out a pardon for your son? >> president joe biden: y yes. >> martha: katie? >> i think it all depends on how the opulent sentencing goes weather president joe biden will be able to uphold their end of the deal for his son given his statement he released today saying he is the president of the united states but he is also a father so we'll have to see if that happens their mothers also fermentation which is available but you have to start serving kind of sentence before the becomes eligible. but when i think about what happened today i can't help but go back to the 2020 election in which marc staal we also -- i covered very closely and david wires had his laptop in 2018 and we are in a crisis in the century when it comes to believing in institutions from leaving the justice system is not one-sided and yet you still have this laptop the night as russian intelligence that was introduced in a court case is very real and not just real but containing evidence of a number of crimes specifically the gun case here but it also has a lot of other information, other crimes including the sagittal limitations run on these charges for faro valade -- there are violations which connect directly to joe biden. -- the idea that an entire election hinged on this -- october surprise of this laptop on a lie buried by the government really is concerning in terms of the intelligence community, the justice department and that really i think the bigger issue here in the fact that they brought this gun case as a misdemeanor plea that failed because a judge that -- and agut agreed to what it should be mentioned felonies and now they're saying that this is done and over with an essay going to touch joe biden. know the tax case might you go back to 2020 election and what was said about the evidence here and you just can downplay how much impact that had on the country's before it was all blown off at the debate and elsewhere as, you know, probably -- and 50 plus intelligence officials saying you cannot looks like that might be what this is. that just is laughable at this point. it was obviously the backbone of this entire case of miranda. i want to go back to what you said earlier because no doubt that biden family will discuss tonight these tax charges to pieces as well which is as you both pointed out link more closely to the potential certainly james biden was aware of these business dealings and whether or not the president can biden, had any connection to them either. >> yeah, look i think there is a danger there and, of course, that is happening six weeks or so before the election and it should be a long trial if it goes ahead. i'm told, you know, over a month it will go well into the end of october. and so it is also as you said a threat to joe biden himself because of the david what -- david weiss was then the u.s. attorney in delaware allow the statute of limitations to run out on the most serious charges are of those in 2014 and 2015, they're still in the indictment g. years, and that brings into evidence that time that hunter biden was earning a million dollars a year from that corrupt energy company in ukraine, bridge a and it also brings in then right -- whom who was investigating the riders. know that is very uncomfortable for the president right on the eve of the election your neck that is why i would be really surprised if there wasn't some sort of plea deal going into their and i also have no doubt that joe biden will be pardoning his son in the lame-duck period after the election. you know, he's told many lies before and i'm sure he is lying now. there is no way he won't pardon hunter if hunter is, you know, has to go in to the election with those convictions. >> martha: there's been a lot of reporting about how heavily this has weighed on president biden, that he gets very testy if people bring anything around it, he doesn't want to talk about he has been obviously -- and will see, you know, hunter biden, it took one deeply little apartment this time he could've, it is not too so, you know, you maybe convinced that he is not guilty on his other charges either determined to see them out in court because that's what he did hear anything and really go his way so we will see what he decides. merella divine, thank you very much, katie, without both of you with us tonight. will see you soon. so hunter biden could face sentencing weeks before election day and shortly after the start of another trial as we mentioned that deals with tax fraud. that one was resurfaced for the people for part and that will happen in california. our breaking coverage

make the case disappear. he didn't even want to the sweetheart lead you, martha, that you try to get rid of this case with any of that and it was only because the whistleblowers came forward and

there's a lot of chatter about that. but, you know, not paying your taxes because you're spending money on prost prostitutes, on drugs, on, you know, really lifestyles of the rich and famous kind of

know, one of those conversations, this is going to go away this time, you know, maybe the source of some of that -- i find this injurious or interesting, and the, because reading through the

their baggage at the door and to note the noise and decide the case based on the fact that the here in court and the instructions that the judge gives. and i think the jury obviously did that. the evidence was overwhelming college recharge appropriately lead to a dirty verdict seamlessly color because the judge was putting thumb on the steal but because of the bunting nature of the evidence and you know in a lot of cases, martha, you get, you know, crying spouses and children and parents and all that stuff who evoke a lot of sympathy from the jury that there is a common thing that happened in prosecutor's chargers kyle gennings and everyone else in the system up to put their heads down and do their job and most of the time the evidence is what prevails. >> martha: with regard to the
