Now facing a federal tax investigation. Sources are telling fox news the doj investigation focuses on Hunter Bidens foreign business dealings with countries such as china and links to potential financial criminal activity. John roberts live outside of the white house with more. Good afternoon to you, the way you are talking in terms of the attorneys general, ten of the 12 will be here at the white house are involved in that suit at the supreme court. Its possible we may hear from them, we will see. Now the hunter biden information, hunter biden was told about this investigation with the doj that has been going on since 2018 on tuesday and a statement to the campaign, hunter biden saying i learned yesterday for the first time that the u. S. Attorneys office in delaware advise my Legal Counsel yesterday that they are investigating my tax affairs. Sources told fox news that the investigation involves tax issues surrounding bidens overseas business dealings, extensively through documents and emails provided by the former biden associate, he insisted back and this was on the day the debate was happening at baylor in nashville that despite denials joe biden was aware of what his son was doing. Listen here. Biden said hes never discussed business with hunter, that is false. I have firsthand knowledge about this because i directly dealt with the biden family including joe biden. Sources tell fox news that will hunter biden is the target of a grand jury investigation, joe biden is not. Sources also tell fox news that the investigation was triggered by suspicious activity reports regarding some of Hunter Bidens overseas financial transactions. The deferment of justice cap this investigation covert during the election. Sources tell fox news that the doj is very cautious about making public investigations that could affect the outcome of an election. A notable exception is when james comey came out and talked about Hillary Clintons email investigation. Biden predicts the investigation will exonerate him. I am confident that a professional and objective review of these matters will demonstrate that i handled my affairs legally and appropriately with the benefit of professional tax advisors. The cases being investigated by the u. S. Attorney in wilmington, delaware. A question at this hour and likely in the days and maybe weeks going forward, will joe biden after he is sworn in as president keep the u. S. Attorney on or will he has has been the tradition when an administration changes remove that u. S. Attorney from his job . Harris we will cover it all as it happens and there is a lot to cover. John roberts, thank you very much bill you are watching outnumbered, and harris faulkner. Here today, dagen mcdowell, town hall editor and Fox News Contributor katie pavlich, executive director of serve america pack on Fox News Contributor marie harf. Joining us today in the Center Virtual seat, Country Music star john rich. Host of the pursuit with john rich on fox nation. Great to have you, so good to see you. So good to be here. Harris lets begin with this, president elect joe biden addressing his familys business dealings just last week, saying this in an interview. My son, my family will not be involved in any business, any enterprise that is in conflict with our appears to be in conflict with an appropriate distance from the present presidency and government. Harris all right, lets come out and talk about this. John, im eager to get your thoughts on what is unfolding with the president elect and his son hunter biden. Seems to be a trend developing here, harris. With foreign influence on some of our most powerful people in this country. I know we are going to talk about some of that later as well but i think the biggest thing to this, to me is just a regular american citizen is at the level of hypocrisy on this if you take hunter biden out and lets plug in don jr. Into the exact same story line, what in the world with the press look like and have looked like for the past six months or a year. Its concerning that this investigation has been going on for that long and none of us were aware of that and of course they wait until the election is over to let us know. All that does is breed more distrust with the American People, me included. Very suspect. Harris marie, your response . Marie we do know that this investigation has been going on for some time and that it hasnt progressed beyond the point where it is today and i think all of us are just going to follow where the facts lead. Hunter biden came out yesterday before it had been reported in the press, made a statement on it and i think that the president elect biden is not rumored to be or accused of being every part of this investigation, he is totally separate from it. I will be interested to see what the fbi finds, on his son. He is a private citizen, doesnt have a Government Role and i look forward to all of the conservatives who have pushed back on investigations of ivanka trumps taxes. We support the hunter biden investigation, as i think conservatives are, they should also support these other investigations. If anything the trump children actually have government jobs, hunter biden does not. So follow the facts but i think it is incumbent upon us not to get out in front of those facts before we see where the investigation leads. Harris well, always important to not jump the sharp on the fact that one of the facts that we know is access to a very powerful person for eight years was Hunter Bidens father. What he did not hold office he had access to one of the highest in the land. Katie . Katie and he used air force two and traveled to china with his father when he was Vice President , came back with millions and millions of dollars in business be dealings with ties to the Chinese Communist party so this isnt just a question of hunter biden, this is a question of corruption and using positions and family names to gain very lucrative, powerful dealings without registering yourself as a foreign agent. There have been consequences or People Associated with the Trump Campaign not registering as foreign agents, im curious as to why there havent been some consequences for hunter biden. On the other side of this, if anybody was following the last story we saw in october, what they banned the New York Post over, to share that story even though later on, it was the true, its become clearer than ever than the media was burying Hunter Bidens stories, which we knew about for years, the Obama White House knew about his conflict of interest with these foreign dealings back when president obama was still in office, and yet right before an election the media decides to bury it in social media and i think the American People deserve a lot more than that. Harris you are talking about the media, our own Tucker Carlson last night went after the media for its failure or refusal to cover that underwriting controversy ahead of the election, heres what happened last night. How do we know for sure that hunter biden is under federal investigation . Where did the news come from . It came directly from the biden transition team. Keep in mind in the weeks before the election you are not allowed to go on twitter or facebook and discuss those suspicious foreign transactions. Most Media Outlets deemed it unworthy of mentioning it all. Now it turns out all of them were lying. Again, if you are looking for election rigging, look no further. Thats what this is. They kept information from the public in order to influence the outcome of the election. Harris dagen . Dagen its astonishing, what katie said. There was active censorship by big tech, by twitter to basically wipe this story away about Hunter Bidens laptop, china, you name it. Active censorship, its astonishing and breathtaking. I want to mention quickly, we dont know the details of this case to what marie was talking about. The federal government and i heard this from someone who worked in the Justice Department, the federal government would never tell hunter biden the full scope of the investigation, ever. And in fact in a subpoena they wont even fill in all the statutes that are involved in the investigation. Number one this does go to a biotin administration and a Biden Justice department so by this investigation now being over with subpoenas involved in the lake and interviews with witnesses potentially, number one, it will force the appointment of a special counsel to potentially, either hunter biden gets charged, special counsel gets appointed to ensure that this investigation is not interfered with, not corrupted by a Biden White House and not stopped to avoid a miscarriage of justice. It also now allows, now its out in the open, in a bigger way if you will, it allows the republicans on the senate to question the nominee for the attorney general under a Biden Administration about this investigation, about hunter biden and they are going to be looking for fairness, certainly, but that would be a big point of discussion in any confirmation hearing. I think we are expecting to get the nominee for attorney general next week from joe biden. Harris you know it so important about what you are saying, this has to do with the beginning of a joe biden presidency would look like and you saw him come out yesterday and say that from his perspective he would not push for anybodys prosecution or exoneration, he would step back and let the people in charge do the job but thats going to be sticky if he is putting forth the nominee for the ag for the United States. A lot more to get to and lets go. New fallout from the bombshell report about democratic congressman Eric Swalwells ties to a chinese five. The incredibly sensitive nature we get on the intelligence you would know this is a big deal. Harris the growing calls for congressman swalwell to vacate a sensitive committee post. Thats ahead. Plus, President Trump calls it the big one. The texas lawsuit asking the u. S. Supreme court to invalidate joe bidens victory. The details as a president is set to host a dozen state attorney generals inside the white house. Stay close. We will not bend, we will not break, we will not yield. We will never get event, we will never give up and we will never back down. We will never, ever surrender. If your dry eye symptoms keep coming back, inflammation in your eye might be to blame.

Harris of fox news alert, President Trump is set to meet at the white house today with a dozen state attorney generals. Actually, it is this hour and he joined 18 states who are backing that texasled a lawsuit which seeks to toss out the results in the four battleground states charging that they acted unlawfully by changing their election laws. The lawsuit is asking the u. S. Supreme court to scrap joe bidens win in georgia, michigan, pennsylvania and wisconsin and to delay the appointment of president ial electors in the states so allegations of fraud can be fully investigated. Those states have until 3 00 p. M. Today to respond to the lawsuit. All of this as a president as talked about the growing support for the lawsuit, telling a party at the white house that he won the election. We have tremendous cases right now, a big, big case. 18 states. They joined out of respect and out of love and respect. I want to thank texas for starting it. The papers were so compelling that everybody is just joining. Harris john, when we look at this there are americans across the country and who may be asking, why is this happening if they voted for joe biden. Is it important for all American People to see this go forward, how do you feel about it . I believe its absolutely critical. Theres so many questions, mounds and mounds of questions on a daily basis now, more questions being dumped in. Youve got millions of americans that voted for donald trump that are wondering, where there are votes nullified and effect by other voters in other states or other people in power in other states that were manipulating the system . And then youve got the biden voters who go, you know, hey, he won. Lets just move forward with this is, is there anything bigger in our country than the election of an american president . Of course not, thats the biggest thing that happens in our country and we have to get it right and there are so many unanswered questions. I dont believe we will ever have any kind of peace in this country until those questions get thoroughly answered. Harris katie . Katie well, i think the attorney general made an interesting argument and saying thats the way georgia, pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin changed their election laws in the middle of the game and all had all these different kinds of irregularities affecting their voters, too. In the United States elections are run locally. Its interesting to see this federal system try to come in and determine how states two things. And ultimately its going to be up to local legislators, local activists as in georgia to change the election laws or root out fraud and make sure their own elections are on solid footing but its an interesting argument to take this to court, its also very interesting to see a number of other attorney generals jumping on the lawsuit and we will know in short time whether they will be successful in taking the case on and hearing them out. Harris you know, as ive been reading about this, the u. S. Supreme court stepped in because when you have a dispute between states which is what texas has done, not only on its own behalf but it mixed it up with other states. Challenging those states on how they did things so its not necessarily that the u. S. Supreme court as i understand it would come down on how they held their elections, it is, the u. S. Supreme court now has to get involved because the states are in disagreement about something. Dagen thats the original jurisdiction of the United States supreme court, that the attorney general in texas is evoking. Andy mccarthy wrote a piece about this, Fox News Contributor, former prosecutor in the Justice Department and he called it a frivolous lawsuit and he knows that the name of the states solicitor general does not appear on the front page of the lawsuit and typically it would, its not signed by the lawyers that would typically represent texas and in his brief, he cites no holding that a state has standing to challenge another States Administration of an election and they further claim that its citizens equal protection rights have been trampled by the defendant states counting of ballots, thats the allegation but as Andy Mccarthy writes, our constitution does not provide for a national election. Much to the chagrin of blue states that would like to get rid of the electoral college, we have state elections for president. So theres a lot of troubling elements with the way this appears to Andy Mccarthy. Harris yeah. Maria, really quick, your response . Yeah, multiple legal experts have said this is a legal up to lawsuit, he also himself under federal investigation so thats the final transparency or legality of the moment. You have republicans in texas like john cornyn and kate granger, certainly not liberals or supporters of joe biden that said they do not support this lawsuit, this is not a legal argument they are trying to make, its a political one and you heard donald trump make that argument at the hanukkah event last night, hes trying to continue to convince supporters that this wasnt a legitimate election when it wasnt. As of this morning the Trump Campaign has l
