[cheers and applause] sean welcome to the hannity care where back. We are live in new york city with a live audience. These usa usa usa usa usa sean want a great crowd. Thank you all for coming. I took the redeye back from the Reagan Library last night and im not even tired hanging out with this group. Coming up tonight, tomi lahren, tudor dixon, jimmy failla, Texas Governor greg abbott. They are all going to be sitting right here. But first we have pathetic new chapter from your president , joe biden and its now unfolding before our eyes. Day one of the house Impeachment Inquiry into biden, what i call the Joe Biden Bribery and Money Laundering Scandal Allegations. Its in the books. It officially started. It did not disappoint. Lets take a look. Bank records obtained this week showed that on august 2, 2019, jonathan li sent hunter biden 250,000 listing joe bidens home address in wilmington, delaware. The wire stated it was for a personal investment. The biden family and associates rec
A third principle is judicial review. Here i would just remind the committee about the supreme courts decision in trump versus mazar. The court said about this committee that in fact it has to conduct the investigation for a legitimate purpose. A Fishing Expedition is not a legitimate purpose. Moreover, the court in the trump case it is not a legitimate purpose for the house or House Committee to be conducting the function of law enforcement. I heard many references here to criminal misbehavior, to whether or not somebody should be thrown in jail. Criticisms of a prosecutor, mr. Weiss. That sounds to me like an attempt to really substitute for the properly legitimate proceedings of the house. Two other safeguards real quickly. One is that these proceedings should be based on principle, not partisanship. I fear that what were hearing today, which can be traced back to 2019, and accusations made against mr. Biden are driven bipartisan animus more than principle. A final safeguard is for
Thats where we need him. Entitled to a Presumption Of Innocence and a full trial but i think he should resign. He is entitled to have his day in court, but he does not entitled to remain in the senate and he needs to go. For that reason probably be a good idea if he did resign. John a live look at the courthouse in Lower Manhattan where Robert Menendez pled not guilty. Uphill battle for his freedom and keep his seat on capitol hill. Im john roberts in washington. We climb the top of the hill in terms of the week, sandra. Sandra no kidding, more than halfway there, a busy two hours ahead. Sandra smith in new york. America reports. Long time democratic senator and his wife appearing before a judge after being formally arraigned on charges of taking bribes of cash, gold bars, and a Mercedes Benz in exchange for using his political influence to benefit the Egyptian Government and others. John the calls for menendez to resign growing, more than two dozen of his democratic colleagues have ur
To investigate what happened in the past and apply its own laws. No one in the new team had anything to do with anything that may have happened in 2016. They were making Television Shows at the time. Iral i also said it is credible to me that he would have been influenced by financial or personal motives in carrying out duties as Vice President. A different issue is whether some individual ukrainians may have attempted to influence the 2016 election or thought they could buy influence. That is at least plausible given ukraines reputation for corruption. The accusation that he acted independently did not seem credible to me. I connected mayor giuliani and the aide by text lantand later t i phone. They met in person on august 2, 2019. In conversations with me following that meeting which i did not attend, mr. Giuliani said that he had stressed the importance of ukraine conducting investigations into what happened in the past and mr. Yermoc stressed, he said it is their position to conduc
they met in person on august 2, 2019. in conversations with me following that meeting which i did not attend, mr. giuliani said that he had stressed the importance of ukraine conducting investigations into what happened in the past and mr. yermoc stressed, he said it is their position to conduct investigations as part of this process anyway. mr. giuliani said he believed ukrainian president needed to make a statement about fighting corruption and that he had discussed this with mr. yermoc, i said i didn t think this would abe problem since that is the government s position anyway. i followed up and he said they would be prepared to make a statement. there was no mention of vice president biden. rather, in referencing burisma in the 2016 election
