hide millions of dollars received from foreign sources. now, that information could become public as g.o.p. lawmakers look to turn the tables on the bidens. >> california republican congressman daryl issa will join us in a moment. we have fox news coverage. a case that critics say is an evidence of double standard at the d.o.j. we begin with chad live with us on capitol hill. chad, what will republicans do now? >> trace, good afternoon. republicans want to strike back. they view the prosecution of the former president as political. they believe there are two tiers of justice. one for the bidens and one for former president trump. house judiciary committee chairman jim jordan has questions for delaware u.s. attorney david weiss. weiss handled the hunter biden case. >> this plea agreement that was put together, that the judge said no to a week ago, i mean, i think that is hugely significant because they tried to hide information in the diversion part of the plea agreement instead of putting it in the plea agreement itself and the judge caught on what they were trying to do and said time-out. go figure this out. >> weiss offered to talk to jordan's committee this fall. some g.o.p. members believe the archer interview points to corruption tied to president biden. some conservatives demand impeachment. a new impeachment resolution for mr. biden. >> the evidence is there, they've got the bank accounts. we've got witnesses. let's go! i'm ready to pull the trigger on privilege motion. i think we -- i hope we're going to see a timeline laid out very quickly in the next few weeks that the american people deserve an impeachment of joe biden. >> but it's about the math. it's unclear that republicans have the votes to impeach the president. the g.o.p. has a four seat house majority. 18 republicans represent districts carried by president biden. >> that is bad politics for them and their voters, right? they won these districts with the president carrying their districts. if you're talk about impeachment, you're not talking about kitchen table issues which republicans have been successful at of getting people to go to the polls. at the same time, the politics of the moment might demand this. >> now, the biggest muscle congress has is the power of the purse. some republicans want to cut funding for the d.o.j. or eliminate funding for special counsel jack smith. trace? >> live for us on the hill. chad, thank you. >> all right, same crime, different punishment. former baltimore police commissioner daryl desousa pled guilty to tax charges in 2019 and was given 10 months in federal prison. that's a far cry from the deal offered to hunter biden. the prosecutor in both of those case was leo weiss raising questions now over how the justice department treats defendants differently. lucas tomlinson is live in wilmington, delaware. lucas, what's he saying about how the d.o.j. is treating hunter? >> well, good afternoon. he says he owed the u.s. government $67,000. as you mentioned, received a 10-month sentence. hunter biden allegedly owes millions to the u.s. government and is not likely to see any jail time. >> everyone should be held accountable across the board particularly if even the value, the money value, you know, is some of the things that you described with the gun and, you know, narcotics. you know, it's, you know, i -- you know, they should be held at the same standard as me. >> hunter biden has been charged with a misdemeanor for not paying over $2 million in taxes allegedly. criminal tax attorneys tell fox a misdemeanor for this much cash is unheard of. normally this would land you three to five years in jail. ex-police commissioner received 10 months for owing $67,000 in taxes as we just mentioned. president biden has long denied he has ever spoken to his son about his overseas business dealings. that claim challenged by the ex-business partner that said hunter routinely spoke to his father while speaking with business associates including in person at a popular d.c. restaurant. >> the only reason i think he lied and lied from the start and lied so vehemently about having no discussions period with his son is because he knew he was up deep in so many of his son's business matters. he knew. he put himself on the phone more than 20 times to help his son get business. as the sitting vice president, that itself, harris, is an act of corruption. >> now, hunter biden is due back in a wilmington, delaware courthouse right here in about three weeks. he will allegedly plead guilty. >> ok, lucas tomlinson live for us in delaware. thanks, lucas. >> let's bring in the california congressman who serves in the house judiciary committee. great to see you. oversight committee releasing bank records next week from russia, from ukraine, from kazakhstan. what do you anticipate? what do you know about these documents? what are you expecting to learn from them? >> well, i think we're expecting to learn is in detail how they used a series of shell corporations each with a bank account to move money around and ultimately some of that money got into accounts that belong not to hunter biden but to other family members. it's that -- you know, look, i have a son that's about the same age as the president's son. and i don't have a joint bank account with him that moves money in and out. nor would you expect that. and yet, that's one of the things they had that makes no sense at all. why have a joint bank account if you're not doing business with your son? >> yeah, i'll put this up on the screen. this is a passage from the hunter biden plea agreement. this is during calendar year 2017. biden earned substantial income including just under a million dollars from a company he formed with the c.e.o. of a chinese business conglomerate. for what exactly, we don't know. $666,000 from his domestic business interests. what's that? approximately $664,000 from a chinese infrastructure investment company. $500,000 in director's fees from a ukrainian energy company. $70,000 related to a romanian business and another from an international law firm. it's not just the totals but the job descriptions and what he got these for which is vague as all get out. what do you make of this? >> well, look, i was in business for a long time. if you can't describe a business, people want to know what kind of funny business you're up to. and that's exactly the case. these vague business, you know, they represent the -- why would you pay that much? by the way, why is it that it flows almost with no cost simply payments. you know, usually in business, you have large expenses that go into the product you're creating. in his case, it's usually one trip or two. often with the vice president that then got him a contract for the shell corporations. but more importantly, i'll tell you, in business, you want to make things as simple as possible. his business dealings were as complex as possible. and that moving of money and complex relationship is one of the reasons that his bank records were spotted and alerted so many times as questionable. >> i want to play the president's denials and then contrast that with the evidence we're now learning. watch this. >> never discussed my business or their business, my son's or daughter's. never discussed a single thing with my son about anything having to do with ukraine. i've never spoken with my son about his overseas dealings. i've never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything having to do with their businesses. period. >> so now we know that's not true because 20 times, i mean, devon archer's testimony, others, democrats are also acknowledging this. but the -- i mean, the pinnacle of this, congressman, is that you have this from then vice president biden to devon archer congratulating him saying that it's great that he's in business with his son. that is more than anything else proof that all those things were false statements. >> well, exactly. and you know, if i were to make a statement that was untrue to an f.b.i. agent or d.o.j., that becomes a crime. and yet, when you essentially yell, you know, yell out in response to the press that it's not true or even to congress, it seems like you get a pass. the fact is the vice president and by the way, i think even back when he was senator, has consistently been in business with his son and the idea that he doesn't talk to his son is simply disputable based on real records that we've seen including some text and so on that came out of that now infamous laptop. so we know that he communicated with his son regularly. we know that he knew his son was a drug addict and he was trying to help him. i'd like to give him the benefit of sympathy as a father. but i can't give him a pass on systemically lying about it and continuing to enable his son to make money and, by the way, not pay his taxes. >> congressman, always great to have you on. thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> yeah, and it comes down to actually you talk about these things. when you go through the actual text of what devon archer said, he talks about, you know, abuse of soft power. he talks about the biden brand. he talks about the fact that just getting the vice president on the phone was "prize enough" for the people on the other end of that. >> as republicans have said over and over again, the brand was biden, period. and it sounds more and more likely that they are heading towards that track of possibly starting an impeachment inquiry into the president. sounds like they're going to use it as a fact finding mission to get to the bottom of this. >> yep. indeed. ok. >> ok, still to come, another batch of facebook files appearing to show the white house pushing big tech to promote biden friendly news organizations over others. details on what they were trying to prevent you from seeing coming up. plus this. >> we are able to identify jane doe as karen, we are going to continue to work this particular case as we did the gilgo four investigation. >> police investigating the gilgo beach murders announcing they have identified yet another victim. could her murderer also be tied to suspected serial killer rex heuermann. former f.b.i. investigator bill daly up next. are you a veteran, own a home and need money for your family?

>> first of all, good to be with you. it certainly is very kind of compelling the facts that they are having a press conference today in the middle of the day kind of making this announcement. but probably say even more compelling is the fact that this has been the hard work of this newly joined task force that was put together by the police commissioner in suffolk county. as you can imagine, this case has been going on for a long time and for a while, it was actually, you know, in kind of abeyance and not moving. kind of a cold case. only in the past year did they bring together a task force made up of not only state and local authorities but f.b.i. to help them. they help both in the indictment of the suspect heuermann but also, in this case, it helped identify miss vergata's remains. one thing i'd like to point out, when they mentioned where these remains were found and found 15 years apart. first remains were found in 1996. the others were found in 2011. they were found at two separate locations. one location, 1996 location was actually on fire island which is not really adjacent to gilgo beach in the same general area. also in a part of fire island that's not accessible by motor vehicles. only get there by ferry or private boat. and the other a beach near gilgo beach on a separate barrier island, those remains were found in 1911 -- 2011, sorry. >> let's remind folks here, let's pull up the bodies discovered at gilgo beach and remind folks of all the victims that have been identified so far. we're still missing three. there's still remains out there of three different people that have not been identified yet. and it sounded like today that authorities were saying that the d.n.a. they found on vergata has been linked to the other three unidentified bodies. so bill, does that help police? and how much time do they have to identify these bodies if they want to include this -- if they are able to connect the dots to rex heuermann? >> well, i would probably say not speaking from a legal standpoint but they have time to incorporate the additional findings they may have that could lead to the suspect heuermann. however, i think it's important to note that, you know, finding closure on who these individuals are is the first thing. bring closure to the families who may have been missing for all these many years. but also, in connection to this case, to see whether or not they are connected with heuermann. or is there another individual or individuals who are responsible for these other remains? it is quite chilling the fact that all these kind of 11 remains were found in and around the same area. but over a period really a decade or more. the time at which those remains are out there in the elements and the area that they're found in is right between the bay and the ocean in marshy areas where there is degradation certainly of any of the evidence but also of d.n.a. so i think it calls -- it really highlights the fact that d.n.a., technology, has advanced extremely far from the 1990's to where it is today. keeps advancing today. genealogical d.n.a. ancestral d.n.a. the data base that the f.b.i. maintains on d.n.a. is all coming into play here and helping to resolve some of these old cases like this one and hopefully bring it to conclusion where we have an individual or individuals who are responsible for these deaths. >> well, it sounds like prosecutors are hoping to get some more d.n.a. from heuermann because i don't think that maybe the pizza crust and the other d.n.a. they found in the trash is going to be enough to convict him. really quickly, i'm curious about this. how likely is it that investigators are using this latest identification to, perhaps, pressure heuermann into a confession? and they're gaining on him that they might have evidence to connect him to this latest body? and the rest of the bodies? how much do you think that's going on behind the scenes? >> well, i'm sure they're trying to use every vantage point, every lever they can pull in order to put pressure on them. however, to this day, he's remained his innocence. i'm sure his attorneys have told him to remain in that posture all the way along. i don't know how much more of this information may compel him to come forward if, in fact, he is responsible for these and the additional deaths. i'm sure they're trying to do everything they can. but we're talking about this point. the state will have to prove its case in court. d.n.a. has become kind of the mainstay of being able to convince juries as to someone's guilt or innocence along with other technology, the location of cell phone data. so i think there's a lot of information out there that for the police are gathering which will be helpful in the eventual prosecution of the current case and may lead to more charges. >> it was, i imagine, a big day for the vergata family today and other three families watching this. many families out there with missing loved ones watching this to see if, perhaps, their loved one is included in this. bill, thanks so much for joining us. >> you're welcome. >> stick with it. thank you. trace? >> well, a judge in southern california is in police custody now accused in the shooting death of his wife. what police found when they entered his home. >> and hundreds of new york city migrants are sleeping on the streets outside an overflowed intake hotel. now, missing! where did they go?

a.r.15 is caught on camera here leading a group of migrants through the rio grande river. a drone captured this video near eagle pass, texas. it is the same stretch of river where the body of a dead migrant was found earlier this week caught on a floating barrier that texas officials have put up to stop people from crossing the dangerous river. the incident now prompting renewed calls from democrats to remove that barrier. and this is a battle that will go on and on. of course, now, the d.o.j. is suing texas and dragging mexico into this, trace, where they say something like this might create an international incident if somebody dies in that river because of this. >> right accident our team at the border saying, look, the numbers are ticking back up. you talk about, you know, the smugglers and stuff. cartels are kind of running the show down there. cartels are telling people when they can cross and how they cross and how much money it's going to take to cross and the numbers are going to tick back up and as soon as the heat drops a little bit, you're going to see numbers shoot up in a big way down at the border. meantime, less than 24 hours after hundreds of migrants were seen sleeping on a new york city sidewalk, they were suddenly gone yesterday afternoon. city officials not offering details on exactly what happened to them. it comes as the city struggles to find housing for the flood of asylum seekers pouring into the city. with us now, new york city council majority leader. where did they go, right? the city is saying they went to an interim place. and the only place we really know where, about 110 of these went. people went. is to a church on long island. that's a lot of unaccounted people, joe, what's going on? >> yeah, beyond sleeping in the church basement, i don't really have any idea. look, let me be clear, though, i'm glad they're not camping out in front of the hotel. we have to be more proactive in front of all of these migrant shelters where this type of behavior is happening. but to be clear, trace, we've leased over 100 hotels for this purpose. we have a population of migrants right now larger than the population of helena montana where we are paying for their room, board, health care, education and everything. this is an unsustainable situation and evidenced by fact these people are sleeping on the streets because they won't stop coming. >> eric adams was pleading with the biden administration and we'll show that sound and get your response on the other side. >> there is no room. we have not got money, you know, out of the $850 million that senator schumer and the leader was able to push through, we got $30 million. $30 million. and there were bordering states that received more money than us. and they're using the money to bus people to new york. >> i was going to push back on that in a second. want to hold that for a second. mayor said he will not have tents on every street. but this is a guy who rolled out the welcome wagon, right, he said come on in. bragged about the fact they were a sanctuary city. and now he's like the sanctuary city status is just unattainable. >> yeah, i think the first thought maybe there would be 5,000 people, 10,000 people, maybe it would be a cute experiment to show how progressive we are. now, unfortunately, he's not wrong. there is literally no more room at the inn and new york taxpayers can't bear this brunt any longer. trace, we're paying more than the entire budget of the fire department and the sanitation department right now every single day to pay for this crisis. we simply can't afford it and, unfortunately, the federal government has not been a partner. if anything, they have been an adversary on this because they were the ones who originally started flying mike grants and bussing them to these states. it was the federal government that started this process. >> it was the federal government that opened the borders. that's the point. the reason the money, she's saying they're not getting any money in the border states. the reason the money is going to new york is the speaker of the house is from new york and the leader of the u.s. senate is from new york. fact that the money goes to new york city is wrong because they are not border states and they are not facing the kind of pressure we are and new york and eric adams and none of these other states said a word when these migrants were flooding arizona and texas which they still are and nobody said a word until they came their way. your final thoughts on this. >> i empathize with people on the border states. now our whole country is a border state because of the failure of joe biden, period. full stop. we had a president who made this issue a priority and things were much better. not perfect. but much better. we need to go back to the policies of the trump administration. >> yep and keep talking about we need immigration reform. immigration reform would change the immigration system. it would not stop people from coming across the border because even with immigration reform, you can only let in so many. joe, always great to have you on. thank you. >> police in california have arrested a judge in connection to his wife's shooting death. anaheim police entered the couple's home yesterday after reports of gunfire. and they found the woman dead inside. senior correspondent claudia cohen is live in california now. claudia, this has really rocked this quiet neighborhood. even the justice department in orange county. >> that's right. it really has. we're talking about a long time judge and a former prosecutor now accused of murdering his wife. take a look at thinks mug shot here. this is jeffrey ferguson. he was taken into custody last night on suspicion of homicide. he is 72 years old. and he's now accused of fatally shooting his 65-year-old wife. happened at the couple's home on east canyon vista drive in anaheim hills. a quiet suburb of orange county south of los angeles. they arrived at the home shortly after 8:00 p.m. after getting reports of a single gunshot. they found a woman suffering from a gunshot wound. she was quickly identified as cheryl ferguson and pronounced dead at the scene. sources tell local media the couple lived at that home for many years and their college aged son lived there, too. but at this point, it's not clear if he was home last night. nor have police said what led up to the shooting. what kind of gun was used or if they recovered any weapons. ferguson has been a superior court judge since 2014. before that, he spent 30 years in the orange county district attorney's office where he worked with the major narcotics enforcement team. he's now being held at the local jail on $1 million bail and away from other inmates he might have sentenced to that very same facility. that is standard procedure in high profile arrests like this one. ferguson makes his first court appearance next week. but it's a little unclear where that would happen because of all the work and all the years that he spent there at the orange county d.a.'s office. sources tell us that this case might be moved to a different jurisdiction. >> all right, claudia, thank you so much. trace? >> potentially damning new details in the latest batch of facebook files. critics say they are proof the white house tried to censor free speech on line. details on who and what the biden administration were trying to silence. shawn duffy and carley cooperman will join us on that. >> we're learning more about accusations

matter how you get across the finish line? apparently so, outrage over a somali runner's performance during the world university games in china. the female sprinter took more than 21 seconds to finish the 100 meters. that was 10 seconds behind the leader. the untrained runner not even in the camera frame. where is she? with the rest of the field here. she then skipped across the finish line. an investigation then revealed the runner is actually the niece of the chairwoman of the somali athletic foundation who has since, trace, been suspended. ok, i get the outrage over that connection, you know, at that point, you know you're not fast. you just skip, have fun. >> what happened is they actually thought she got hurt coming out of the gate. she's gotten hurt. maybe we should look at her. then they realize -- yeah, it took her like three times the amount of time to get to the finish line but the runner who won it actually did so it was a bit of embarrassment. there you go. two u.s. soldiers accused of spying for china. the justice department says they gave chinese intelligence officers sensitive information and even photos of military exercises, equipment and facilities. the chief correspondent jonathan hunt is live here with the details. jonathan, they're worried there might be more like these two? >> you know, frankly, at this point, trace, they don't know whether these were two isolated incidents or part of a wider program by china to recruit spies within our military. either way, according to prosecutors, these two sailors sold out their country for fistful of dollars. >> we have entrusted members of our military with tremendous responsibility and great faith. our nation's safety and security are in their hands. when a soldier or sailor chooses cash over country, and hands over national defense information in an ultimate act of betrayal, we have to be ready to act. >> one of the sailors, naturalized u.s. citizen born in china, was stationed at naval base san diego. the other at naval base ventura county. they sold information about naval exercises and operations and sensitive photos of ships and facilities. now, both of those bases, by the way, house the u.s. pacific fleet which leads many u.s. operations and exercises that would be of critical interest to china and which would be central to any potential conflict over taiwan. now, spying on and among other nations is not unusual, of course, but the extent of china's operations, officials say, makes it different. >> china, among all such nations, stands apart in terms of the threat that its government poses to the united states. china is unrivalled in the audacity and in the range of its maligned efforts to subvert our laws. >> so the efforts to prevent chinese spying are ongoing and officials say they will continue to hunt down and bring to justice anyone in the military who betrays as prosecutors put it, trace, their sacred oath to defend our country and sacred it is indeed. >> very concerning. jonathan, thank you. >> attorneys are now offering an alibi for the alleged idaho killer. where they say he was when the murders took place. >> and the white house pointing the finger at republicans for this week's credit downgrade. why are red states in the south leading the nation in economic growth? former congressional budget office director doug holtz is up on that next. >> bidens did the pitch and said this is why bidenomics is working. here's why it's so great. don't downgrade us. they downgraded the u.s. credit rating because they didn't believe what biden said. more

so the white house is now blaming republicans for this week's credit downgrade but the numbers tell a very different story. a dozen u.s. states have higher ratings than the federal government with the majority of them being surprise, surprise red states. that list including texas, georgia, florida, governor newsom is probably not going to like that one and tennessee and south carolina. doug is a former congressional budget office director and president of the american action forum. doug, good to see you on this friday. glad you're with us to break these numbers down because you're a money guy and you get how this works. so just looking at that study that was just put out about the states that had a higher credit score, doesn't this prove that red states handle the post pandemic economy a whole lot better than blue states? >> so what i think is really interesting about this study is that if you put the list of those 12 states down and you break down the list from almost any source of the states with the best business climate, it's the same list. so these are states where we have rapid economic growth for creating jobs, we're getting new businesses. they are typically right to work states. they're often currently governed by republicans. but on a bipartisan basis, they've managed to make a commitment to keep taxes low. keep regulations reasonable and to have a good growth environment. that's a real lesson for the federal government. both parties should be working very hard right now to not raise taxes. not increase the regulatory burden. it's up $400 billion since the president took office. you know, the -- it's a simple lesson. and it's right in front of everybody. and they should simply follow it. >> you would think they would follow it. you know, i remember if i remember correctly that republicans, house republicans, speaker kevin mccarthy wanted to work with the white house early on on the debt ceiling. and the white house and the president dragged his feet up until the very ninth hour. and then they did finally get a deal done. so republicans are going to come back to congress next month and they're going to want to balance the budget. shouldn't this be motivation for the white house to work with them this time? >> well, again, a lesson of the states is that states are subject, all except one, to some sort of balanced budget requirement. and it's not really the balanced budget piece that is so important. what matters is there's a rule that you have to obey in putting together your budget. it has to add up in some sensible fashion. and we've seen how it works at the federal government level. the house passes one thing. the senate doesn't pass anything. they set up new bills they can't agree on. end of the year, they jam something through that's a trillion dollar am any bus spending bill. none of the states operate that way. they get better budgetary outcomes and higher credit ratings as a result. that's a good lesson. good idea to get back to regular order and not the kind of last minute negotiating we're likely to see this september. >> we'll see if that happens. something else that's adding up for americans at home is gas price.
