from poking fun at his age. despite serious worries from voters. have a look. i ve been doing this a long time. i know i don t look that old. [laughter] i m a little under 103. a lot of you are tired. you re tired. i get it. try being 110 and doing it. i know i m 198 years old. but all kidding aside, think about that. call me old. i call it being seasoned. all the years i was a senator, which were 270. jason: meanwhile, the white house cocaine scandal isn t going away. house republicans announced they are launching an investigation, which of course was immediately dismissed by the left as a political stunt. and when asked about the incident earlier today, white house press secretary karine jean-pierre completely dodged the question. have a look. can you say once and for all whether or not the cocaine belonged to the biden family? so. a couple of things there. we ve answered this question. we have litigated this question for the last two days exhaustively. you know, th
good afternoon. two hours and counting until david weiss has to meet this deadline for house republicans to answer questions about the hunter biden probe. i think we can say with confidence he won t meet the deadline. the reason we can say this with confidence, he said so himself in a letter to republican house judiciary chairman jim jordan late last week. i want to read party of it. this is from weiss to jordan. he said in his letter last friday to jordan, the donald trump appointed u.s. attorney quoted a prior letter from june where he wrote clear cheer. a few weeks later, trace, how judiciary chairman jim jordan wrote to weiss asking him who told him to sign that letter. jordan doesn t believe that weiss called the shots in the probe. he think us it was doj. jordan believes this based off of the testimony of irs whistle-blower shapley who investigated the hunter biden tax probe since 2020. he s been on the record numerous times say he saw weiss complain that he was
the judge saying it was the most massive attack on free speech in u.s. history. we disagree with this decision and the d.o.j. is reviewing this. i won t get ahead of what their evaluation and options they ll take on moving forward. bill: next we can chris wray will publicly testify at the house judiciary committee. republicans on that committee are investigating allegations of political bias within the f.b.i. and d.o.j. meanwhile, law enforcement agencies bracing for a legal battle that may ultimately reach the u.s. supreme court. d.o.j., david spunt, picks it up from there. it is picking up as we await an appeals court hearing on the social media order. several federal law enforcement sources privately told me there are serious concerns about this injunction that on the surface would block them from talking to social media companies. d.o.j. is appealing that ruling from u.s. district court judge based in louisiana who issued the injunction on tuesday on july 4th stoppi

published last year. they also said this. these attacks are meritless, baseless, and we re watching to defend our client. we wish the press wouldn t cover these attacks when they are baseless and they know they are baseless. bill: let s bring in jonathan turley. nice to have you on and good morning to you. i just want to remind viewers from a week ago weiss, the prosecutor out of delaware, sent a letter to jim jordan and he seemed to outline his defense in four different parts. you have seen that letter. do you have questions about the letter or do they satisfy you? no, there is nothing to be satisfied with because there is no answers in the letter. what weiss is saying i was given this authority but doesn t deal with the specific allegations of these whistleblowers. we have numerous witnesses and other witnesses who are named in these accounts who were present at a meeting where weiss
