the five people on board. america s crime crisis showing up on the doorstep of one of the navy bases in mississippi. we put up more than 0 shipping con stainers to protect sailors from stray bullets. if you can believe that, that about says it all. you re watching fox & friends first on this wednesday morning. i m carley shimkus. and i m todd pyro. we begin with a fox news alert. lawmakers are meeting to discuss recommendation from special council john durham after his very eye opening testimony on fbi failures in the trump russia probe. lucas tomlin sson is live in washington. hey, lucas. mr. durham, did the government receive a plan to they had tried the plan to rush hawaii yes. was that intelligence important enough for director brennan to go brief the president of the united states, the vice president of the united states, attorney general of the united states and director of the fbi? yes .x was that then put into a memorandum. a referral memorandum? yes
a story we followed for years it comes to what appears to be a conclusion at least on these two stories. on these two. good morning. i think you re right, that this really was not that big of a surprise. there were a lot of people who predicted that this may happen specifically on the tax charges and the gun possession charge. and that charge essentially goes away being diverted, the gun charge. the two misdemeanors he will plead guilty to. this does not stop the investigation into what else is there and the alleged bribery scheme the house republicans are going after pretty intently. i do think that this is another step in the road but one that was predicted and obviously it goes to the president saying he has faith in his son, he never believed he did anything wrong but you heard in that statement from the white house they love him and he is essentially they want to move on. dana: they want to move on. can they move on will be the question. if the justice department has

this is the count on the taxes. it says during the calendar year 2017 the defendant robert hunter biden who was a resident of d.c. received taxable income in excess of a million and a half dollars, 1.5 million on which tax beable income there was owing to the united states income tax in excess of $1 hundred thousand. he was required by law to pay on or before april 17, 2018, to the i.r.s. at hartford, connecticut. knowing and believing the foregoing robert hunter biden, his legal name did willfully failed on april 17, 2018, in d.c. and elsewhere to pay the income tax due. so that s we re talking about 2018 here. we are going back five years now, over five years, five years just a couple of months ago in april just to give you an idea how long this investigation has gone. count two during the calendar
