Last september 30 republican senators sent a letter to Attorney General garland demand just that. Wanting weiss to be named as a Special Counsel. Now that weiss is been appointed and has not placated help them further warning the designation they say cannot be used to obstruct their investigations on the Hilbert Alexandria Hoff live in washington with that part of the story. Hi eric were there with some republicans have been concerned Special Counsel at all would mean some of their investigative power will be taken away. But for others that really is just the name itself thats another issue. I was one of those who sent a letter saying we should have Special Counsel. On the other hand i have some question about weiss doing it. s lucas mentioned weisss u. S. Attorney that negotiated Hunter Bidens probation only plea deal that eventually fell apart. Republican congressman also feels weiss is responsible for allowing the statute of limitations to run out on a potentially felling Felony Charges adding this progress he denied access to subpoenas along the way. He gave updates to attorneys. He has shown his hand or to relate just be on the same team as a team hunter and team drove. Spokesperson for House Judiciary Chair jim jordan stated we will continue to pursue facts brought to light by whistleblowers as well as weiss inconsistent statements to congress. In my irs Whistleblower Gary Shapley testified u. S. Attorney weiss sought Special Counsel status but weiss Attorney General garland disputed the claims. Now that weiss has been granted that independent status, shepley says he feels vindicated. This announcement yesterday is absolute under Quest Vindication for coming for this the crux of the issue we brought forward to house ways and Means Committee in the House Oversight committee. Democratic congressman barrett providing his perspective on it all earlier, listen. I dont think is good for the country to see a former president on trial or the president son on trial. I would hope theres a way to resolve these without putting the country through either one of these cases. The critics also argue appointing a sitting u. S. Attorney goes against d. O. J. Regulations would state the Special Counsel should come from outside the Justice Department. Eric a lot of controversy, alexander thank you. Aishah sights and sounds of the Iowa State Fair.

Its going to be right here on fox food. August 23 in milwaukee as alexis mentioned is moderated by the two fabulous hose, Bret Baier Martha martha maccallum. Facing unprecedented State Of Emergency. The Immigration System in this nation is broken. Its been broken for decades. Near city has been left to pick up the pieces. New york city mayor eric adams this past week appealing for help from washington dealing with immigration. Newly 100,000 migrant i sought shelter in the last year 50000 a night now and city shelters. The new york reporting the deal between the governor i and to sd 1200 migrants and families to 13 shelter sites outside of the city upstate is now ongoing. This as new york has been overwhelmed as it houses the migrants for four Popular Soccer Fields while pushing to move some to a closed Military Base in Staten Island. What can the country do about this neared City Councilman joins us he represents Staten Island. Councilman good to see you as always welcome to fox news. Thanks eric. One side being discussed is on Staten Island which is on the boroughs of New York City the historic Fort Wadsworth. What are your constituents saying about potentially housing migrants at that historic Military Base . Axis is not personal and entire defunct Military Base. We have active guard units is not for drill. Its active at least in part on the week and for the rest of this facility is a national park. I think were finally reaching the Breaking Point. Not only are we giving up our parks giving up Soccer Field School Gyms having more of an impact than the raw number and cost we have been hearing about for the last couple of weeks. Eric would look at pics of Fort Wadsworth its a beautiful sight under the bridge, tremendously historic. When will people be at a Breaking Point or is it past the Breaking Point in trying to deal with the issue . I think were well past that. The mayor often says the right thing about the migrants discuss aher putting it into practice. He is not the ceo of a charity but we are not a Nonprofit Organization for the city and the menace of a corporation we are not here to be the worlds refugee camp and at some point the mayor it just has to say we are full. We no longer will the city more hotels we will no longer give up any more of our parks for they want to do that perhaps but they are facing some lawsuits. At some point the lawsuits have to fall where they may get to say enough is enough. Eric with the broader issue republicans on capitol of gone nowhere in the senate is somewhat building the wall, seeking more restrictions for those who ask for asylum on the border. They remain in mexico this sort of thing. Basically trying to crack down on it and hit it has gone nowhere in the democratic controlled senate. Look this is something we can easily pen on demo the Democratic Policymaker starting with the senate and the president. We had a president just three years ago who believes we should have remained in mexico. We should have a border wall. We should have enforced laws along our southern border. We did not have a crisis that it was not perfect but we do not have a crisis. Now we have every democrat in our state essentially saying this is a crisis this is a State Of Emergency we do not hear anything from the president or even the Vice PresidentVice President harris was just in chicago yesterday. She could have visited any one of the migrant shelters there and seen what her failures have done. After all she is the borders are. But of course she didnt because that would really give the media chance to highlight the detrimental impact this is having on chicago, on new york and everywhere else democrats have considered a century city. Support Governor Abbott of texas to be pressing the migrants of north of cities like new york, washington d. C. , chicago and others feel the effects they have been feeling. For all of these years. Given that has an effect or the Democratic Leaders wringing their hands trying to figure out what to do about this, if any think they cannot control it. I think abbotts actions have done two things number one they have certainly brought this issue to the forefront. Now were talking about it. And number two i guess they are spreading the wealth if you will the cost of this migrant crisis. Now basically every state is a border states it. Lets be clear new york democrats touted for years, as long as i have been in office homes a decade they are going to be a century city. We have a right to shelter that extends to undocumented people. Were going to welcome migrants or with open arms. With a brought this on themselves and now they are actually scrambling to play the blame game the mayors blade being the governor the governors blaming the mayor theyre all blaming the president. I blame the Democratic Party in general. You think any of them have regrets . I think they do. I think when this was 5000 people it was a cute little experiment to show how woke we are or how we converge at signal as you pointed out earlier there are 57000 people in a Shelter System who are here in this country who were not here just a few months ago. There is a population larger t
