Delaware with the very latest. Good evening, peter. Peter good evening, biden bt and a wellplaced government sources telling fox news that joe biden is not the subject of any grand jury investigation right now but that hunter biden is a subject and target of a grand jury investigation, target meaning in this way that somebody is, that there is a high likelihood that somebody committed a crime, a subject being someone that Law Enforcement does not know yet. Hunter biden told us late this afternoon that he found out yesterday the feds are investigating him but that is not when this probe started. They have been looking into his tax Affairs Since 2018. Joe biden, his dad, president elect has long dismissed questions that have arisen about hunter biden as a Smear Campaign and he is always stood by his side. I am proud of him. Peter and he claims not to know much about his sons affairs. How many times have you ever spoken to your son about business dealings. I have never spoken to my son about it. Peter hunter biden says i take this matter very seriously but i am confident that any subjective and professional you will demonstrate that i handled my business will there is also turbulence ad for four of bidens cabinet selections including lloyd austin. There is not a i sought him. Peter he is trying to make a very important distinction. Think of when i my military service four years ago, i hung up my uniform for the last time and went from being general lloyd austin to lloyd austin. Peter the Vice PresidentVice President elect still called him general lloyd austin. General austin. General austin. Peter thats what the transition is trying to avoid because the defense secretary i believe the importance of civilian control. He has been out for 4 years and has a waiver from congress to serve. I will support general austin but i will not support the waiver. Peter two other cabinet nominees are raising questions about a former confrontation. Ill hunte, i am honored andd to join your team. Peter both urged the Clinton White house a cocaine trafficker with a he tells the Washington Post that it was outrageous. Marsha and her connection to lance who murdered his wife. Before that, mason did time on a Domestic Abuse charge and had him advocating for him from the outside. In a letter to a judge that said in part i can only hope that you see what i and others see. Pete buttigieg according to a report, less than a year after biden publicly questioned his foreign policy. This guy, barack obama had laid out a clear vision of what he thought the International Society should look like and what order should be. I just spoke at somebody at the Justice Department who explained that it is their policy not to select timing of investigative steps of charges in a way that could affect an election or give one candidate or another an advantage or disadvantage. That is likely why the Attorney Office in delaware waited until now that they are investigating him. Bret do we have any information, details about the tax investigation, whether it is tax fraud or what particularly they are looking at at the grand ju jury . Peter we dont yet. And as you remember throughout the course of the campaign, President Trump and his allies really focused heavily on Hunter Bidens involvement with Ukrainian Energy company. They paid him a hefty salary for several months despite his experience in the industry. There have also been questions about Hunter Bidens connection to a Chinese Energy company. He did a magazine interview last year where he talked about a chinese businessman who gave him a diamond. There were questions about how much the diamond actually cost and whether or not taxes were paid properly. We dont know if these things that we already know about are involved in these charges or if it is something else. Sorry, not charges. Investigation or something else. Bret. Bret okay. Peter, thank you for the clarification as well. Panel coming up on this too. Now the story with all the salacious elements. Power, California Democratic congressman has insisted he has done nothing wrong and is cooperating with authorities about his relationship with a woman accused of being a chinese spy. He has details tonight on this. Good evening, mike. Good evening, bret. He is now under intense scrutiny after revelations that he had close ties with an alleged chinese spy before being elected and even after. I was shocked. Just over 6 years ago i was told about this individual. Yet, fox news had learned today congressman Eric Swalwells father and brother are still facebook friends with an alleged chinese spy. He was part of a group of Northern California democrats targeted by a Chinese National named christine. She suspected of being an operative for security. White house Kayleigh Mcenany said it was never russia and the republicans. It was the democrats and china. She suggests this leaking out as payback. If this is a country where people who criticize the president are going to have Law Enforcement information weaponized against him, thats not a country that any of us want to live. He insists that he cooperated fully and did nothing wrong. Im grateful that the fbi back in 2015 reached out to me. They showed great professionalism in seeking to alert me. South carolina senator, Lindsey Graham noted a double standard on twitter. Democrats get defensive when there are concerns about foreign influence but yet they spied on his campaign. He should have never been put on the intelligence committee. It looks like representative was identified and potentially funded by Chinese Communist spies. And that this happened before he came to congress. Once he got to congress, there are real questions about whether or not Speaker Pelosi knew this when she put him on the house Intel Committee. He was aware of this issue. House speaker, nancy pelosi responded that the speaker has full confidence in the intelligence committee. In a video recently uploaded and then removed from chinese social media, a chinese professor spoke openly about the past efforts to infiltrate the u. S. We fix everything in two months. Just because we have people at the top, at the top of americas core intercircle of power and influence. In terms of fallout, former republican senator is calling on pelosi to remove him from the panel. Demanding a ban on Chinese International serving as interns in u. S. Congressional offices. Bret. Bret more on this at the panel as well. Meanwhile, President Trumps team is joining legal action. Trying to keep the Electoral College from officially casting votes. Here is chief white house correspondent, john roberts. With the electors set to vote on who the next president will be in just 5 days, President Trump is pinning his hopes on Supreme Court case filed by Texas Attorney general, paxton. These elections in other states where state law was not followed as required by the constitution affects voters because these are international elections. He is asking the Supreme Court from blocking electors from voting. He claims that those states move to massively expand mailin voting. That election, who cant go back but we can say okay, lets transfer this to the legislature which used to do this and other states and let them decide the outcome. That would be a valid constitutional situation. President trump gave them a big thumbs up claiming we will be intervening. This is the big one. Our country needs a victory. Some supporters of the president questioned the wisdom of him jumping into the case saying that it would be better if the president left it to the states. Arkansas among 17 states joining texas. Attorney general announcing i have determined that i will support the motion by the state of texas in all legally appropriate manners. The integrity of our elections is a critical part of our nation and must be upheld. It has asked the defendants dance for a response by 3 00 p. M. Thursday. The texas case falls on the heels of a loss in the Supreme Court. The court denied him an induction to block further certification of the voting in pennsylvania. The two say they are not done yet. We were not granted a temporary injunctive. It does not mean that our lawsuit does not go forward. It means that part is going to be taken away and going to allow them but in no way is this over. They sent a letter to President Trump urging him to direct attorney general, bill barr to appoint a special prosecutor to get to the bottom of how the election unfolded. In the letter, the lawmaker saying americans deserve a definite resolution and legitimate questions of voter fraud remain unanswered. But as far as how long this could go on, we seem to see a new deadline, which is further off in the future. Thought that the deadline would be monday when the electors vote but one of the top attorneys, john ellis sent out a release yesterday saying that the next hard deadline is january 6th when Congress Votes to certify the electors votes. We could be here for a while. Bret. Bret that will be something. John roberts on the north one. John, thanks. The vote 34367. This bill funds the government until midnight, december 18th. And now most of the senate and then to the president. Congressional democrats are dismissing two republicans sponsored Coronavirus Relief fund so far. Minority leader Chuck Schumer says a proposal from secretary statement nguyen does not do enough. They have released details of their bill that includes an extra 300 of bills a week covering 160 billion for state and local governments and 300 billion for the paycheck protection program. Stocks were off today. The dow lost 105. The s p fell 29. The nasdaq dropped to 44. Just over 6 years ago i was told about this individual and then i offered to help and i did help. I was thanked by the fbi for my help and that person is no longer in the country. How much is china doing . How much is china spying in the u. S. . Brett, there is no country that presents a broader more comprehensive threat to americas innovation, to our economic security, and to our democratic ideas than china do does. The fbi is opening a new counterintelligence investigation that ties back to china every 10 hours and that is just sort of the tip of the iceberg. Bret the fbi director talks to me there at the end of june and again in july as we have this Eric Swalwell story. I want to talk about hunter biden as well. We will bring in our panel ear early. Chief political corresponded of the washington examiner, National Political reporter and jason riley, wall street journal columnist at the manhattan institute. Lets just start there. Xes broke this story with the chinese by targeting california democrats. Part of bidens defense has been that he says it leaked by the trump, either the president or his allies. Its just, its interesting that that is the pushback here to the story. Its happening after the election. Its visible. I mean, it would be inappropriate for me to talk about my colleagues sourcing, but just use your common sense. Even swalwell acknowledges that he first found out in 2019. I know my to colleague, he has n working on this for more than a year. Anyone who has any passing understanding of how it works, do we really think that they put out some Opposition Research and then patiently waste a year with a very well have an respected china correspondent to report it out in a nuanced fashion . Give me a break. It is completely absurd. The story is really important. It shows how the Chinese Communist party operates inside this country. It shows how they infiltrate. How they identify young, in some cases soft targets, people who dont have a lot of staff around them, who dont have experience, who dont actually understand the tactics of the Chinese Communist party. And then they follow them up and they follow them some cases in swalwell case, he has become a very powerful member with access to the nations top secret. It is a very important story to show how china is operating right now in this country. Bret yeah, i want to play this sound bite from the whole House Minority leader, Kevin Mccarthy. Take a listen. Because this is only the tip of the iceberg. Remember what we are hearing. These are chinese spies that go down to the level of a mayor. This congressman now gets on the Intel Committee. They are only selected from the leaders of their party meaning nancy pelosi. The nancy pelosi no that it transpired when she put him on the committee. Why is he still on the Intel Committee . Why is he still a member of congress . Bret yes, the question is how far does this go . Who else is affected . And if you look at it in the context of russia and all that has been said and done about that. Well, it was happening as late as 2015, which is the year before democrats started making a very, very big deal of russia and the Trump Campaign at the time. Going through 2016, 17, 18, looking for any contact with any trump figures with russians. And we heard earlier in the program, Eric Swalwell complained about Law Enforcement being weaponized against him. Welcome to washington. This is what has happened and i would not be surprised to see more republicans, not just Kevin Mccarthy calling to find out more about this. Because their feelings are still very raw from the whole russian thing in which there was a long investigation into alleged collusion that didnt establish that it ever even happened. So you are going to see more about this. Bret i want to turn to the hunterbiden situation. We are just getting more breaking news and its happening just before th the show started. Two sources familiar with the investigation tell fox news the investigation being run out of the u. S. Attorneys office in delaware aimed at Hunter Bidens tax affairs includes looking up the laptop belonging to underwriting. The fbi subpoenaed a laptop and hard drive reportedly belonging to hunter biden in connection with the Money Laundering investigation. One document obtained by fox was a subpoena sent by the laptop repair shop to testify december 9th 2019. He goes on to say we first reported that the fbi was in possession of that laptop. So we are not only seen here, jason, tax investigation, a grand jury tied to a target subject of hunter biden, but also now that the laptop is part of this. And that it was now overt, not just a covert part of the fbi investigation. Right. And of course there are a lot of news organizations but didnt want to look at any of this prior to the election. They thought it might help donald trump in the election if they did that. They avoided the story. And i can understand Trump Supporters and being inferior rated by it. Perhaps there is something there regarding hunters business dealings in the ukraine or in china. We dont know yet. But we do know that there is a very clear double standard here when it comes to looking at these matters depending on which party you are a member at when it comes to the press attention. We dont know if it would have affected the election but i can understand why Trump Supporters right now are furious that this is only being looked into at this point. Bret you know, jonathan, quickly, we saw in the durham case that the attorney general putting a special prosecutor label to protect perhaps what is going to be a unanimous investigation. This one, potentially he could do the same thing as you are getting ready for january 20th. We go well, this will be the first test of what joe biden has said he would do with the Justice Department. Joe biden has pledged that he would keep his Justice Department at arms length, that he would not intervene. It doesnt get to be more of an ultimate testing in your own son being investigated by federal Law Enforcement for business dealings with china or in tax affairs. So, how joe biden handles that investigation will be a really crucial test to how he is going to operate with the Justice Department. Bret okay come all this breaking just before the show. We are adjusting it all. We will bring it to you as we bring new details. The panel we will see a little later in the show.

Bret tonight we continue our exclusive reporting from afghanistan as american troops prepare for significant drawdown there from what has been this countrys longest war. Corresponded, Benjamin Hall tells us from kabul, not everyone is happy that the troops are leaving. The drawdown is underway after almost 20 years, troops are heading home. It is believed that just two and several satellite ones will remain. On the ground from the situation is getting worse. The taliban are launching more attacks, taking more ground and thousands have fled their home. This man says that children are dying here. Theyve got no food. Theyve got no it is still better than the war and the fighting they have fled. That fighting is worse than it has been in a long time. He is asking the americans to stay in afghanistan until they can bring peace. Secretary pompeo says the peace deal is at risk. We have asked all of them to stand back. The afghan army have been trained and conduct all ground missions. 96 of air emissions by themselves. The u. S. Will continue air support, funding, and training all with the deal they made from the tele band and about 6500 troops remain. For americans, the war is winding down. It has cost almost a trillion dollars. 138 billion have been spent on relief and reconstruction. Bret i was Benjamin Hall in kabul, afghanistan. Meantime, you saw that picture there.

Bret british regulators are warning people who have a history of allergic reactions against taking the coronavirus vaccine. At least so far investigators are looking into two adverse reactions. They have approved pfizers vaccine. They say 249,000 doses will arrive this month and be administered within days. We continue our weeklong series on the vaccine tonight with the politics of the pandemic, specifically has the approval process been safe and if it has, who gets the credit . Correspondent, david has the report. We trust the drug companies. What the American People dont trust his President Trump. In 2020, science and politics are one in the same. Millions of doses of the covid19 vaccine will likely be administered in just days. But the political fight over a vaccine started even before covid blanketed the country. Rico would love to see if we could do it prior to the end of the year. For spring, summer, and fall, scientists worked across the globe on vaccines. At the same time, the 2020 president ial campaign met at the intersection of i would trust the word of scientist but not donald trump. Standing up the entrance to the white house, the president we are going to have a vaccine very soon, maybe even before our very special date. You know what date im talking about. The vaccine never made it before election day. Big i dont trust it at all, nor theto you. I know you dont. They say it was not was not compromised. This is a safe vaccine. But safety isnt the only concern for some americans. A Catholic Bishop in california cant pfizers attention. In a statement, pfizer pushed back telling fox news, this is a syntheticallydesign vaccine and does not contain any animal or human material. A source close to bishop says that information was enough to change his mind. Public Health Officials are focused on addressing political doubt, religious objections, and safety concerns because they say the more people get vaccinated, the sooner the country achieves herd immunity. 70 , maybe 75 of the people in the country vaccinated to get that umbrella of heard delivery that will get us really on the road very close to being normal. The help with public confidence, former president s jimmy carter, jimm bush, they he all said, they are ready to roll up their sleeves. Bret david, thank you. Tonight we are taking you to a town on the border of tennessee and virginia. Trying to balance two different sets of state regulations. Dealing with the coronavirus update. From above, bristol looks like one city but look closely and you will see the state line separating tennessee and virginia runs right through downtown forcing businesses to comply with Different Health restrictions depending on what side of the street they are on. It is a little challenging as a Business Owner for sure. s jim remains open for now. If you are doing any classes that involve close contact with a person or require a mask. But as covid cases surge, he knows its possible that more restrictions could be in place. It would be aggregating to see one place across the street not being able to do anything and us being closed because that is not going to help at all. Last month, virginia placed new limits on in person gatherings and alcohol sales, impacting event spaces including the new boutique hotel. You know, its very disappointing. A lot of holiday parties have been postponed. We are looking at getting ready through next year. We have had quite a few inquiries. So far has not enacted the same restriction. Virginias governor caused the split in our border communities, people routinely cross state lines to work, shop, and visit their families. What happens in these other states affects us. Bristol businesses appear to be taking the divide in stride. A lot of Business Owner step up to have very frank conversations to encourage people. Be responsible for yourself, for your family. Some virginia businesses also fear they will eventually lose customers from tennessee. Still, bristol leaders insist that they are tied together as one. When one side loses business, everybody loses business. Residents tell us they would like to see officials from virginia and tennessee worked together on a unified plan for battling the virus and help needed now more than ever. The local Hospital System reporting today i found more than 4400 new cases of the coronavirus, a 27 jump from the week prior. Bret. Bret live on the border between virginia and tennessee.

Correspondent Gillian Turner is here to tell us what this all means. Good evening, jillian. Good evening, bret. So, to call lawsuits were filed. They could ultimately lead to the court breaking up facebook. The first time for a major u. S. Company like this in decades. Now, one of those was filed by the ftc by 48 state attorney generals both alleging major violations of antitrust laws. Facebook maintains monopoly power by deploying a bible or by strategy that harms both users and advertisers. Now, the lawsuits from the states focuses on what they view as facebooks go to move, which is identifying small but potentially rival social media apps and buying them out. Take a look at th the new York Attorney general. An effort to get them to sell. The two most glaring examples of this unlawful scheme are instagram and whatsapp. They sometimes threatened potential rivals in order to get them to buy out. Dont step on facebooks tu turf. Or as one industry executive put it, you will face the wrath of mark. He shot down allegations just two weeks ago. I dont think we or anyone else viewed instagram as a competitor, as a large multipurpose social platform. In fact, people at the time kind of mock our acquisition because they thought that we dramatically spent more money than we should have. Tonight, facebook tells fox news in response to these lawsuits, this is revisionist history. Antitrust laws exist to protect consumers and promote innovation, not to punish successful businesses. After months of marathon hearings on capitol hill, threats from lawmakers of reining in and regulating big tech, it does seem like at least facebook is finally facing a reckoning. It is just coming through the courts rather than through congress as expected. Bret thats want to follow. Thank you. Youtube says today will start removing content that they says falsely alleges widespread fraud, change the election of the president ial election. That is a change to its handsoff stance on videos making similar claims. Dougal, meantime says it is lifting its political ad ban tomorrow. That ban was put in place ahead of last months elections. January 5th. The runoffs in georgia will follow more on the panel next. Brandnew info on the hunterbiden tax plus the case of the democratic congressman and the chinese spy. Twice your cousin. From boston. Karen, im just gonna say what everyone here is thinking. You look smokin. Total smokeshow. And they never did find his finger. They had to close the pool for like an hour. I brought a date. Names sam. Dig in. Love is like boston lager. Rich, complex and its over too soon. Right, chrissy . Oh my god. The one that video from novemben embracing his father, joe. This on the day that we learn and he learns that he is under investigation and the federal investigation. Hunter biden, putting out a statement saying i learned saturday for the first time that the u. S. s i Attorneys Office investigating my tax affairs. I am taking this very seriously but i am confident that it will demonstrated that i handled my affairs legally. He is deeply proud of his son who has fought through difficult challenges including the vicious personal attacks of recent months only to emerge stronger. But as this night has progressed, we are learning more and more details that in fact this investigation goes back to 2018. In fact, there is a grand jury involved and hunter biden is a e subject of this. In fact, there has been according to two different sources, a look at the laptop, the hunter biden laptop that had been a focus of several reports and also of Money Transfer from china. We are back with our panel. Jason riley, wall street journal and senior fellow at the manhattan institute. Your thoughts as the story comes out and we learn more. We are getting that this is now the overt stage of this investigation but the covert stage sources are saying that never really stopped from 2018. It was going on is even as democrats were yelling at republicans to stay away from hunter biden. A year ago as the move to impeach the president was heating up in the house, a lot of republicans wanted to look into Hunter Bidens business affairs. And the where they got from democrats was absolutely no way. And in the end, this is not hugely surprising in the sense that it often happens this way when someone makes a large amount of money from mysterious sources overseas, you look at whether they paid taxes on all of it. That is certainly what happened to him in the Mueller Investigation and it has happened to a lot of people who have had these windfalls from overseas governments. Bret likely continues this. Here is joe biden, the candidate from november 2019 talking about he woulhow he would run investi. I would not dictate who should be prosecuted or who should be exonerated. Follow the law. Let the Justice Department make the judgment as to whether or not someone should be prosecuted period. Bret thats what he set on the debate stage. Obviously, its his son. Well, and this also means that it puts more pressure on the question of who he appoints as his attorney general. Does he appoint someone who can plausibly be thought of as independent or does he as someone who is much more political, someone who is not personally close to him, someone who people would not necessarily be able to trust would keep such a thing. So, again, its really going to be, the test doesnt become more profound than your own son being investigated. He has laid down very clearly the things that distinguish them from President Trump. You know, jason, there will be a lot of loud frustration from Trump Supporters that this is coming out. First week, second week of december and not the first week of november or the last of october. Speaker definitely. When i think about this and the arguments made that he alluded to, the staying away from hunter biden, often democrats would say, yeah, maybe he was trading on the family name to cut deals in areas where he really had no expertise. Maybe it was unseemly, but there is nothing illegal about it and now we learned that in fact, the federal prosecutors are looking into this making him a target of the investigation. Now, of course we dont know if he was involved in any of this. He has said that he has not discussed his business dealings, his sons business dealings with him. But we will see. But yes, the hypocrisy of what has gone on here in the way that the president s own family members and children have been relentlessly investigated by the media, who at the same time wanted to take a very special it is all being exposed right now. So yes, Trump Supporters are going to be very frustrated. Bret yeah, quickly, obviously we have all the text that we covered before the election. The big man in the back and forth. We were told that joe biden is not a source or target to this investigation. But starting in administration with this, that is going to have to be covered. Absolutely and there is a big media angle to this because apparently the laptop, information from the laptop is involved in this investigation. And remember, so many news organizations repress reports of this laptop for weeks leading up to the election. And all it looks like it is going to play a serious role in a serious investigation. Bret okay, we will follow all of it. Panel, thanks for hopping on the breaking news tonight. When we come back, the joy of giving and getting. The holidays are a time for giving. To your friends.
