jill biden is the fourth reason i am supporting joe biden. [cheering and applause] >> joe biden has been a fierce advocate for children, women, for people who have suffered domestic abuse, for veterans, men and women in the military, and it will be great to have joe biden in the white house, won't it? it is my great pleasure to introduce dr. jill biden. [cheering and applause] dr. biden: thank you, governor lynch. thank you. joe and i are so happy to be back in new hampshire and especially to see you and susan again and now that we have julia, your daughter, thank you for coming. i was recently at a greek festival here in new hampshire, and we went with the lynch's, and what stood out to me was just how much admiration and affection that granite staters have for both of you. i want to thank you for your friendship and your support. [cheering and applause] dr. biden: thank you for sharing this day with us. friendship like yours is without measure. the men and women you represent are incredibly important to me and to joe. i taught a lot of fire

a new biden bombshell, "the new york times" is reporting that while joe biden was president's own aides were concerned about his son hunter's position with the ukrainian gas company. according to "the new york times," biden's own aides were so worried about the objects that they enlisted state department officials to gather facts to determine how to handle the story. this comes a month after a top state prompt official told congressional investigators he raised red flags about the younger bidens employment in 2015 but was rebuffed by a biden staffer. it also comes as president trump and is more allies were calling on both bidens to testify in the impeachment inquiry publicly. beverly holberg, visiting fellow with independent women's forum. david burstein, founder of run for america. great to see you both. beverly, i'm going to start with you. this is in concert with with the president and other republicans have been saying. how does this play into it's happening this week with public hearings? >> this has been the gamble for democrats all along, knowing that if they move forward with im

remember him, hunter biden? he is the lack luster politician son who not only got into yale law school, you are not a genius, no you didn't. not only that, but made close to a million dollars working in the ukrainian energy business despite knowing nothing about ukraine or energy. even by the standards of international corruption, it turns out he struck a remarkably corrupt deal. how corrupt? and analysis by watchdog research found that hunter biden's pay on the board of burisma energy amounted to 12 times what is typical for a company of that size. and yet, some are still claiming that hunter biden was hired by burisma to assist with "transparency and corporate reform." amazing. hilarious, actually, but also depressing because in the end this isn't really about hunter biden. it's not actually even really about the impeachment of the president. what you are seeing here, the story that is unfolding as a story about america's ruling class, some of which has been bought out by foreign entities. not surprisingly, in

taxpayer aid went to a ukrainian company that was paying joe biden's son while joe biden was in charge of the eight. that's the corruption, that's what needs to be investigated. okay. the reason i want to be clear with this redirection is because i feel the story on all this has gotten up bit murky and muddied. there is a clear link between biden, the aide and the gas company but we don't know how much money. >> there is a timeline and as you know, the media is not pressing on this. nora o'donnell had an opportunity but she didn't say anything. there's an interesting phenomenon. i've been going to all the debates in talking with democratic voters, they care about this issue. they think it's shady, the other candidates refused to call him out on this. it's very troubling to me because there's been this kumbaya come up protect uncle joe, this is a primary. anything that any candidate had done, any bit of corruption, if it was shady they all went after each other. the democrat, if they had any guts they would go after joe biden and hunter because the voters care about it. especially when

and hunter biden and asked for an investigation. so we are just going to have to debate that but isn't the principle that no bern, including the president, is above the law absolutely essential and worth the effort to make certain that we continue to guarantee, ambassador morrison? >> sir, i haven't -- >> i'm sorry, a.mbassador volke? >> yes. >> mr. morse son? >> sir, the rule of law is essential to our democracy. >> that's so true. you know, we've had some discussions and challenge from the other side that the president has authority in foreign policy to do what he likes. in fact, he does. a recent precedent to take our troops out of syria and allow the turkish forces to go in literally meant that some kurdish families went back to bed saturday night and woke up sunday morning, packed their kids and fled for their lives. a lot of people including both sides of the aisle totally disagreed with that. the president has the authority to do it, compulsive as it may have been, as unwise as it may have been as threatening to our national

i trust joe biden. joe biden is going to restore the soul of this country and the character of the white house. wouldn't that be nice? [cheers and applause] >> joe biden will bring integrity in defense of ethics and decency, and honesty to the white house. cheers and applause] >> joe biden will be able to build a team of outstanding policy advisers, domestic policy advisers, and foreign policy advisers and staff them with competent people, something we do not see with this current white house. cheers and applause] second reason is i like joe biden [cheers and applause] he's genuine, caring, authentic, and such a decent, wonderful person. i can't wait for him to get into the white house. cheers and applause] >> the third reason i'm supporting joe biden is joe iden will beat donald trump. cheers and applause] and the fourth reason i'm supporting joe biden is dr. jill biden [cheers and applause] jill biden has been a fierce advocate for children, for women, for people who have suffered domestic abuse, for

and then joe biden. i would like him to swear under oath whether his demand to have a prosecutor fired with a quid pro quo to take the law enforcement off his son. i want adam schiff under oath. did he lie when he said he didn't know who the whistleblower was. did he create a narrative in alexander chalupa, a open raw tough who allegedly worked with ukraine to provide dirt on the dnc. and we have to hear from the whistleblower who adam schiff claims he doesn't know to find how the how much of this was preplanned. polls show the american public is tiring of this charade like the russia collusion delusion. it's hurting our country. as the democrat haters will do anything they can to destroy the president when in reality, they are tearing apart this country. the inspector general's report is due on december 9. and that along with the trial in the senate will cause the democrats to be hoisted on their own petard. which will be well earned. and that's my open. let me know what you think on my facebook, twitte

and hunter biden. they may have done it. the foreign corrupt practice it ises act. you can't use extortion or bribery or sflns a -- influence a foreign government to benefit you. these new documents unveiled by john solomon implicate hunter biden in this as well. so there is compelling evidence to justify department of justice investigation. if they don't do it, i would suggest congress do it. lindsey graham, chairman of the judiciary committee should open vchgzs. >> sean: let me put up on the screen, matt gaetz, willie brown, former high-profile official, i don't agree with a thing but he's a fun guy sounding the alarm in a piece titled. he writes this. >> sean: come next year we'll have an impeachment victory and quite possibly a solid economy. the democrats will have what? absolutely nothing, matt gaetz. >> democrats are running a campaign of disorientation and distraction. that's principally for two reasons. they failed to deliver on the promises regarding health care, immigration, infrastructure,

and that is still in joe biden's lane. so the other angle is that you have national polls and that still shows that joe biden is up there. and i think partly that's, tucker, democrats in their minds, the only thing they care about right now is beating donald trump. they don't want the most exciting candidate. they want electability. and in their minds they still think that joe biden is it. even though somebody like david axelrod, who worked for barack obama, said that he was mr. magooing his way through his answers. that's not exactly a compliment. >> tucker: no. that suggests that he is likely to walk into the side of a building by accident or something like that. and there is some evidence for that, poor guy. dana, great to see you tonight. thank you. >> great to see you, thanks. >> tucker: well, as we said, wednesday night was yet another episode in the slow motion disaster film that is joe biden's third presidential campaign. first he awkwardly promised to show domestic violence who is boss. watch this. >> no man has a

listen, the only person that doesn't think that burisma is about joe biden is joe biden. the state department prepping the ambassador for nomination hearing was prepared for a question and directed people to joe biden. ambassador to the united states for the obama administration will not send the media or the senators to joe biden unless they thought he knew something about it. but, let me wind you back to something else you just said, sean. you talked about the need to release transcripts. i have done some reporting. in the period after prosecutor shokin raided the home of hunter biden's about, the owner of burisma, and before burisma showed up and started lobbying the state department a few weeks later in february. joe biden had three consecutive phone calls. three. but the president of ukraine. it's the only time in a two-year period i have can find flee consecutive contacts between biden and president. did biden any of those issues come up in calls. joe biden owes us an answer given the circumstances these documents provide to the american public. >> sean: can you bel

there is a lot of talk about biden's son and that biden stops the prosecution and people want to find out about that so whatever you could do with the attorney general would be great. biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution. so if you can look into it, it sounds horrible to me. this is the president asking another foreign leader to look into a man who is the leading candidate to be his political rival. you don't have to say 2020 for it po be clear. >> i have to push back on all of that. first of all, look at what he asked him to do. he asked him to investigate what happened when joe biden as vice president of the united states, dana, stopped a prosecution of a company where his son who -- as his son admitted only got the jobs because of his last name and got the contracts because of his last name. he's talking about 2016 and not 2020 and respectfully joe biden is not his main political rival. joe biden was in idaho yesterday and said he was ohio. >> then why good the president tweet about joe biden all of the time. >> but he fweets did -- >> but no -- >> let me talk

i understood at the time hunter biden and vice president biden's son had been a board member -- >> i understand. but you didn't read tathat as a request to investigate the bidens at that time? i you were at two meetings at the white house where ambassador sondland raised the investigations but you didn't know it was about the bidens, and that's your testimony at the time? >> i didn't think he was talk about anything specific. >> you heard him talk about investigations, and you thought it was inappropriate, but i didn't know it was the bidens, i just thought it was inappropriate. and i guess when they were in the ward room and ambassador sondland and burisma raised biden in 2016 you misunderstood that. >> that is correct. >> and in august you spent a good part of this time with this statement with rudy giuliani. you were the guy making the change and interacting with the ukrainians. you were putting in rudy's changes which called for investigating burisma and the 2016 elections. which you now know meant bidens, right? you didn't know it at the time but now we know it. and september 1s

biden's 2020 presidential campaign. after his remarks, mr. biden greeted those in attendance. [applause] [crowd cheering] good morning, everybody. aren't from south side, welcome to the south side of des moines, or as the rest of us like to call it, god's country. [laughter] you are part of a family when you are in the south side, because we on the south side are really a working class family. we are a working-class family who believes that if you work hard for a living, played by the rules, do what is right, you deserve a little dignity in your life. >> absolutely. [applause] with are a diverse family, irishns living next living next to latinos living next african-americans living next to straits, length thing next to immigrant -- living next to immigrants, living next to natural-born citizens, and we are a family who truly believes this diversity makes us a stronger family. [applause] we are a family that looks out for each other. we may not get along all the goingbut by god, we are to make sure our neighbors are cared for and looked out for. we may fight a little bit, but b

how much taxpayer aid went to a biden family business while joe biden was in control of the eight. it is precisely because joe biden is running for president now is that we need to know that. and the only way that we can find out is to ask the ukrainian government, we have to get to the bottom of the biden ukraine cash for gas candle. joining me not to talk about all of this in the bill he introduced in the house, the call for an investigation, great to see. we been on the same page for a long time. you been on the show way before impeachment started focusing, tell us the latest. with this bill your pushing forward. >> i have heard from the left that somehow were destroyed to make up something whether there's nothing there and i want an investigation. i want the united states congress to look into this with the effort that we have made going after president trump. if this was not hunter biden, if this was donald trump junior, they would've done this months ago, i went a straight up investigation, i just want the facts, i want hunter biden to testify, i want devon to testify and i w

biden: look, folks. you know, first of all, thank you all for being here and i want to thank bruce and betty. i don't know where betty is but i want to thank them both. thank you very much. we have been friends a long time. folks, this is all about a basic, basic point. forad used to always say, real, you remember the things your father said or mother said more than once. everybody -- joey, no one is better than you but everyone is your equal. that was a mantra in my house. no one is better than you, but everyone is your equal. that is how i was raised. that raised to believe that everybody deserves a shot. i came from two little towns as a kid, scranton, pennsylvania. --you listen to per rock barack obama, you would think i climbed out of the coal bucket but myshovel in my hand, dad was a white collar salesperson. everything died economically. i moved back to claymont, delaware, which was then a big steel town. we had several steelworkers in that town and i grew up self-conscious. i came from an irish c

and hunter biden in ukraine. the second part i will say quickly is that hunter biden did not have any particularly sterliling qualifications to ben the board of a scandal plagued ukrainian natural gas company. you don't bring on hunter biden because he is an expert in the industry for $50,000 a month. you bring on hunter biden because his last name is s bide. ththere is an appepearance of a conflict of interest there. george kent raised that issue several years ago as he testified, that he thought it had the appearance of conflict. that is something that is worth looking at as well. it is something we have looked at and others have as well. i want to make sure that is clear, too. amy: i guess the question is, with the republicans keep on raising this during the presidential campaign because it also will remind you of president trump and his involvement in this. i want to go to ukraine special envoy kurt volker who was a witness, requested by the republicans. >> third, i did not understand that others believed in

hunter biden and his business partner. is it safe to say they will never come before the house intelligence committee? >> we are not going to go back in time and revisit conspiracy theories implicated in the president's call. it was the former secretary of homeland security who told jake tapper that he was telling the president that watch of -- much of what the president alleged in that phone call about the ukrainians involvement in 2016 was just nonsense. 2016.'t want to revisit if people have relevant information we want to hear from them. no to the bidens. >> i don't see evidence that anything improper has happened and people have said these witnesses conducted themselves with integrity. >> tim morrison was on the republican list. kurt volker. is it safe to say they will be before your committee? >> we are going to handle that this week and we are going to be fair about it. processness behind the is just as important as the facts. >> i think that speaker pelosi and adam schiff's decision to prevent the witnesses is just

he was talking about the bidens. when he asked you about the bidens investigation, who was he seeking to benefit? >> he didn't ask me about the biden investigation. >> sir, we just went through this. when he asked you about investigations which we agree now means the bidens, we just did this 30 seconds ago. it's pretty simple, isn't it? i'm having trouble why you can't just say -- >> when he asked about investigations, i assumed he meant the company. >> who would benefit from an investigation of the bidens? >> there's two different questions. >> i'm asking one. >> i assumed president trump would benefit. >> there we have it! see? didn't hurt a bit, did it? didn't hurt a bit. let me ask you. >> mr. maloney, i've been very forthright and i resent what you're trying to do. >> fair enough. you've been very forthright. this is your third try to do so. it didn't work so well the first time. we had a declaration come in. now we are here a third time we have a doozy of a statement from you this morning. there's a bunch of st

also apparently friends you have biden. of biden. he wasn't on the call. his information was hearsay, thirdhand material. republicans must demand this nonwhistleblower go under oath. what was the contact with schiff's office? what was the relationship with biden? who was the person who gave you this thirdhand information? and let's be clear: the whistleblower statute does not guarantee anonymity.we does protect against retribution and retaliation. they must also demand that hunter and joe biden, that they be put under oath, that they be subpoenaed. let's not forget the corrupt compromised congenital liar adam schiff. he is now a fact witness in this case. let's put him under oath.. schiff, in fact, his office, what advice did they offer the nonwhistleblower, whistleblower from the very beginning? he can't bringlobe the whistleblower in because the whistleblower will be asked questions about him. this is a set-up. it's all been conjured again by deep state, unelected bureaucrats that are just obsessed with impeaching trump because they can't beat him. and c

that's what they say. >> hannity: what do you make of the hunter biden, joe biden, when you look at hunter and joe, zero experience, you don't get a billion unless you fire the guy investigating my son. if that was donald trump i think we all know we'd have very different coverage in this country. >> i think joe biden stepped in it deeper today saying there's nothing to investigate with hunter biden and after what was said about the corruption in ukraine and burisma, he said there's nothing to investigate in burisma despite the burisma founder was one of the most corrupt individuals in the ukraine. the conflict of interest continues to the very day the way joe biden talks about it. >> hannity: david axelrod is supporting deffal patrick and his entry and the remarks of obama saying you don't want to go too far hard left here. it seems like team obama, i'm reading the tea leaves, has given up on elizabeth warren and mr. sanders and mayor pete and i think they'll do one last push to get deval patrick to capture the infrastructure of team obama to help him? what do you say? >> i don't think hi

, but that he may have been part, you have biden. >> i have biden, and he has a few choice words for the republicans, for the people involved in the impeachment, for the people involved in the conspiracy theory around him and his son. we talked about it all. it is a wide-ranging interview, and i think you and the audience will be riveted. so we will get to it. thank you, chris. >> i know i'm going to talk to you. everybody knows i love you, but when i count my blessings, thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. >> yes. >> i love you. i am thankful for you as a friend and a colleague. you make me better as a person and as a professional. >> that goes double for you and especially your family and your lovely wife and your mother. happy thanksgiving to all. i will be making a call to you. i won't see you but i'll be making a call to you guys. >>> this is "cnn tonight." i'm don lemon. what a week, what a week, what a week. a huge week in impeachment. witness after witness testifying under oath about the shakedown to force ukraine to give the president what he wanted, an investigation into th

what did you think of joe biden? eh. the super pac thing, i don't think they get much engine that. -- much into that. he sucked tonight. does the premise live up to the promise? does he retail well? >> i wonder in this democratic primary in particular, so much talk about millionaires and the 1%, people funding the super pac's are the same people. it would be easy to make an attack at out of this -- ad out of this. this year, it seems so heightened, specifically with elizabeth warren and bernie sanders. >> he has no choice but to take the beating. that pays for your voter contact. he is going to get beat up. i think it will drop some blood. it is a narrative of, you are an old traditional politician. he already wears that suit. he desperately needs to compete. i'm the idiot who blew $100 million in a super pac trying to elect jeb bush and the republican primaries in 2016. all the super pac funding in the world cannot save you if you are not what they are looking for. biden may not be what they are looking for. he does hav

buttigieg has emerged as kind of the biden understudy, should biden finish third in iowa, which i think is a possibility. remember, he is supposed to be superman, but if you can't lift warrenotive, not only is him of the real biden slayer in iowa, there is someone else -- room for someone else to come racing into new hampshire. in new hampshire, you have a big independent vote. i ran mccain's campaign in 2000. we didn't carry republicans with george bush. we were competitive. it was not that close. we destroyed with independents who crossed over. i look at events in iowa where i see a lot of volvos in the parking lot. >> i want you to talk about this because you've suggested buttigieg is not only surging in iowa, but has real potential in new hampshire. why is that? >> i think this is a game of expectations. this narrative takes a while to play out. the media starts covering places like iowa and new hampshire very, very early. our attention spans today are very different because of this. back in the days before we could instantaneously receive not only the news we wanted to hear, we --

this idea of a new bunching up in iowa, it was all about biden, then biden and warren and then biden, warren and sanders, now it's about four at the top. margin of error makes this pretty well dead even. the buttigieg has every right to bang their chest and say look how far we've come, but look at the jump with buttigieg. but you basically have a four-way tie in iowa. what does that mean to you? >> well, it means that we're at mile nine of a 26. mile marathon. i used to run marathons and i have no idea who was ahead at mile nine of all the marathons that i ran and watched. we have a deep field. when you have a deep field of really talented people, you're going to see these ups and downs. i mean, this time in 2003 i think john kerry was 4%, 5% and governor dean was ahead and things changed. there's a lot of energy out there. the polling i read says that a lot of the folks, not just in iowa but elsewhere are still kicking the tires. the reason i think there's so many people dine sided is because every time they go to an event with a candidate, they're super impressed. so they're trying

biden: look. the other thing is that global warming, look, the idea that somehow we make these assertions that you can eliminate it in two years, no one says that, but the fact is that we know how to get by 2050, andions by 2030, we can lock in systems you can't get out of so we can get there and guarantee it. but folks, we only make up 15% of the world's problem. the remaining 85% is the group i helped put together called the paris climate accord with 170 nations that other in fact, makeup 85% of the problem. there are two things we have to do, the first thing as president is i will rejoin the thing i helped put together, number one. [applause] v.p. biden: number two, within the first 100 days, i will have those 173 countries and their leaders come to the united states for a conference on how we will up the ante and get this done. i know how to do that. that's what i've done my whole career. bringing nations together as well as passing things in the legislative hall, congress of the united states

hunter biden do for the money? >> and this is why here you see these republican senators getting to the question of an intention behind it, something that would be very hard, of course, to prove. but it's interesting, fredricka, because the president, when this was first reported a week ago that republican senators were considering this strategy, the president took to twitter and said it was a false story that republicans are saying trump may have done a quid pro quo, and the president also saying, but it doesn't matter, there is nothing wrong with that. what you also heard fredricka, was those republican senators focusing on joe biden. that's something we increasingly see republicans doing as they call witnesses forward in these public hearings, hunter biden being one of them. but of course democrat adam schiff making clear that's not going to happen. fred? >> jeremy diamond, thank you very much. i appreciate that. >>> it is said to be the most crucial stage yet in the impeachment of the president, the televised p

why are these people hugging biden? you know? they're hugging me because they're grabbing me say basically am i going to be all right? i just lost my son. i just lost my daughter. or a little boy say, i -- i stutter. can -- can -- and there's a whole group of kids that i keep in contact with. more than a dozen that, in fact, because i let them know, it shouldn't let them define them. it's not who they are. and so there's just a whole lot out there that i've -- i've learned a lot from loss. and i've learned a lot about the abuse of power and bullies. >> you have said that we need to build, meaning this country, build on obamacare. is that enough? especially with what people are facing now when it comes to debilitating diseases, cancer, so on. >> are month than enough. look, when i talk about it, and barack, president obama talked about it initially we want to move beyond obamacare. obamacare fundamentally changed the lives of millions and millions of people. covered over 100 million people with pre-existing conditions, children, e

maria: you've said on the program not too long ago that hunter biden needs to answer questions, what is your reaction to this list that your colleagues in the house have prepared as far as those they would like to hear from? >> they could care less about getting to the truth, what really did happen, why was the prosecutor fired, the john solomon foyer request is stunning, you can see efforts in the state department where they were worried about the conflict of interest between hunter biden and the company being investigated and when the president of the president, barmisa, i think is the company, when house was raided the bidens kicked in. we will look at that i consider any impeachment in the house that doesn't allow us to whistleblower to know who it is to be invalid. without whistleblower complaint we wouldn't be talking about any of this and hunter biden to be called to adequately defend the president and if you don't do the two things it's a complete joke. maria: you mentioned the john solomon reporting, testimony bombshell, obama administration tried to partner with hunter bide

and hunter biden's activities in ukraine. to the extent others may say they're debunked, i promise you republicans will take this information and say no, this supports the entire quid pro quo. it was totally warranted because the president is charged with rooting out corruption that may threaten the united states. and if rudy giuliani went out and investigated and provided evidence to the state department -- there you go. now the investigations suddenly become warranted. so whether some have debunked them. others have very much bunked them, i guess. >> okay. we're going to move on from that, to giuliani's indicted associates, one of them being l lev parnas. notably, he's the ranking minority member, devin nunes, first is parnas a credible witness? is there any chance that congress brings him in to testify? >> you brought up one of my favorite conundrums as a criminal defense attorney. is a cooperating witness's testimony or information he provides to prosecutors reliable? after all you start with the presumption that he's an

the big issue is the bidens. donald trump wasn't saying, i want you to dig up dirt on joe biden. the facts are that joe biden acknowledged there was corruption in the ukraine. he didn't say, you got to fire 100 guys in the ukraine, and you'll get a billion dollars. you fire 50 guys or 25 guys. >> he said one guy. >> he said one guy. >> the same guy the ukrainian authorities wanted gone in all the western democracies. >> it is the one guy that was investigating the company for which -- >> he wasn't investigating the company. that was the problem. >> he was. >> in fact, democrat senators suggested -- >> you're getting it wrong, sean. >> i'm not getting it wrong. >> you are. the guy wasn't investigating burisma. that was part of the problem with him. >> he said he was investigating. >> he's lying. that's one of the reasons that. >> why did the ukraine f-- >> how did joe biden come up with this one-person -- of all the corruption in the ukraine -- >> he was fold to told to do it united states government. that was our position. he's not the president. he was pushed into this. >> no. o

son hunter biden. joe biden responded to that. >> lindsay is about to go down in a way i think he will regret his whole life. lindsay, i just, i am just embarrassed by what you are doing, for you. kristen: he is fundraising off of this. do you think joe biden's role in the impeachment inquiry will help or hurt him in the 2020 primary? >> from the most corrupt state in the country, illinois. to have his son benefit from a position of his father is unbelievable and for democrats in the senate i'm embarrassed by them. if you are going to have a true and honest impeachment inquiry you need to bring in hunter biden, joe biden, open up, the situation does not seem right for anyone being honest. kristen: do you think this impeachment inquiry hurts biden or help him? does the fundraising help or hurt him? >> it does hurt him to have his name associated with alleged corruption but it is not grounded in evidence. people talking about hunter biden, what about ivanka trump working in the white house talking to hea

biden family, i would imagine -- >> alex: the biden campaign needs to get out of this. clearly the republicans aren't going to let it go. they should be much more transparent -- >> harris: i've heard that said before about other topics. the biden campaign needs to get out of this. >> alex: they should be more transparent about what hunter was doing. >> marie: they are not responding quickly to things. on this issue, where i don't believe vice president biden did anything wrong, they have been slow to respond. i think because they don't want to get down into the mud with president trump. but where they are. we are all in the mud to get. >> harris: you know what else we are? where it with chad pergram on capitol hill, who has a transcript. i was just boasting about how great you are at speed reading all of this. give us a couple of headlines, and how long is this one? >> four to 46 pages. it's bigger. >> harris: is that as heavily-redacted is the last one we saw? >> there are some reductions at the top. i get about 20 pages in and there's a couple individual lines that ha

>> hunter biden. >> hunter biden is added to the board of burisma. do you think that creates a problem that burisma may be adding people to its board for protection purposes. >> sir, i work for the government. i don't work in the corporate sector. so i believe that companies build their boards with a variety of reasons not only to promote their business plans. >> was hunter biden a corporate governance expert? >> i have no idea what hunter biden studied at university or what his cv says. i have no awareness or knowledge of what his background was. >> you don't know whether he has any business experience in ukrainian prior to joining burisma's board? >> i've heard nothing about prior experience. >> do you know if he speaks ukrainian? >> i do not. >> do you know if he possesses any other element other than the fact that he is the son of at the time the sitting vice president? >> i do not. >> ambassador taylor, do you know whether hunter biden offers anything other than the fact that his dad's the former vice president? >> i don't. >> or at the time was

biden may have received. this is not something i'm aware of. >> did you know that burisma's american legal representatives met with ukrainian officials just days after vice president biden forced the firing of the country's chief prosecutor? >> i'm not aware of these meetings. >> did you know that burisma lawyers pressured the state department in february of 2016 after the raid and a month before the firing of shokin, that they invoked hunter biden's name as a reason to intervene? >> i'm not aware of any of these facts. >> did you know that joe biden called ukrainian president at least three times in 2016 after the president of burisma's home was raided by the state prosecutor's office? >> i'm aware of the fact that president biden did sh dsh or vice president biden was very engaged on ukraine and had numerous engagements. that's what i'm aware of. >> >> ms. williams and lieutenant colonel vindman, this committee has spent three years conducting various investigations, starting with the russia collusion hoax,

hunter biden. in the roles and the second ukraine had been known for some time, the former vice president campaign said they always acted to carry out policy without any activity that he had never discussed the matter with hunter biden and learned of his son's role with ukrainian energy company from the news reports. state department official flag hunter biden in this book when when they were preparing for her testimony to be confirmed as an ambassador in the q&a state department put together the appearance and reality of conflict of interest. george camp a career official of the state department, fox news tollhouse investigators that he raised concerns about hunter biden service on the board of ukrainian natural gas company, burisma and he said 2015 he became aware that hunter biden was on the board of ukrainian burisma while his father joe biden was on the ukrainian government. the vice president grieving over the passing of his older son. so nobody brings up the vice president, nonetheless the v

we need subpoena hunter biden. i think the mother of all conspiracy theories is somehow the president of the united states would want a country he doesn't even like, he doesn't even want to give foreign aid to, to have the ukrainians start an investigation into bidens. >> so according to your reporting he knew a lot more than he was letting onto. what does he have to say about this? >> well, he was extremely rude to two of my colleagues who went to physically confront him. his exact quote was to be perfectly clear i don't acknowledge any questions from you in this lifetime or the next lifetime. i mean, i will say, don, what's also really interesting about this reporting is the timing of devin nunes' trip. he deliberately timed it. an aide told lev parnas this so it felt after the mid-term elections and before the democrats took over the house, which meant he didn't have to disclose the details of it. >> okay. standby. don't go anywhere. i'm going to bring in max and john now. max, give me your initial reaction to t

among the individuals, are hunter biden, joe biden's son, as well as the whistleblower, the anonymous intelligence official whose complaints about trump's call sparked the impeachment inquiry. but democrats don't seem inclined to accept those requests. the president will have an opportunity to shift the narrative on wednesday, as the first witnesses come forward. the president has a scheduled joint news conference at the white house with the turkish president. dave? alison? >> jeremy diamond, thank you. >>> new allegations connecting president trump to threats of ukraine. rudy giuliani's associate lev parnas says giuliani told him to give an ultimatum to the new president of ukraine, investigate joe biden or risk hundreds of thousands of military aid. in the end, vice president pence said he would not attend zelensky's inauguration. parnas said he believed that giuliani was acting with trump's authorization. both giuliani and other members of the meeting deny the accounts to "the times." >>> this will be a critical week for the joe biden campaign. he and other democrats are facing a p

i want to set aside biden. is it appropriate for the president of the united states. >> right. >> to have engaged in this? >> i think there is a real question whether you think the president should specifically go after one person, but there is a real question whether joe biden should have gone after one pr prosecutor. it's exactly the same question -- >> the united states -- >> let me finish. there say question about that. if it were me, i wouldn't give them the aid because we don't have the money. we have to borrow the money from china to send to ukraine. i'm against the aid and it's a mistake to do the aid so i wouldn't have played any games. it's unfair to treat trump under one standered and joe biden under another. >> i don't want why that's always used as a deflection. does that mean you think it's okay for the president to act this way? it doesn't matter what we think of joe biden. if it's wrong for this to be done -- >> it kind of does. but i i'll approach it from a different way. fairness is one angle.

, joe biden's son? >> reporter: well, fred, so far the biden campaign is not commenting on this move from house republicans. we've also reached out to a representative from hunter biden but have yet to hear back just yet. but joe biden has really been very vocal throughout this entire process, insistent that neither he nor his son were involved in any wrongdoing when it came to ukraine, despite president trump's insistence that they did. and while this witness list is being developed by house republicans, yesterday joe biden was asked whether he would testify if there was -- were senate hearings into this and he really turned this back around on president trump, saying the focus needs to be on him. take a listen to what he had to say. >> look, number one, this is about donald trump, not about me. there's not a single, solitary thing that anybody has demonstrated that i didn't do my job as representative of the united states of america. the question is, did the president of the united states violate the

his son, hunter biden? is he right? >> it's [ bleep ]. from first word to the last word. >> did people here in ukraine, investigators like yourself, anti-corruption activists, think that shokin was doing a good job, that he was effective? >> absolutely not. shokin was corrupt, ineffective prosecutor. it was the consensus of civil society in ukraine and international partners of ukraine that shokin was a disaster for prosecutor general office, shokin has to go, he was intimidating investigators in his office. >> biden was pushing for someone who would be more aggressive, more actively looking into burisma and other companies? >> that's correct. >> giuliani is rewriting what happened. shokin was a prosecutor who was widely viewed by experts as being a holdover from the pro-moscow yanukovych era, who wasn't doing an adequate job in prosecuting burisma, the gas company, or lots of other corruption issues. and there was a general agreement that it was time to get him out. >> viktor shokin was formally let go wit
