Lowell has offered to meet with the committee, but some say it s a delaying tactic. delaware has been investigating hunter biden for years, declined to comment when asked by fox about the status of his investigation. would you be willing to give us an update on the hunter biden investigation? no as to the last. back on capitol hill it is clear the new republican majority is running out of patience with the president s son. we are not going to really take too much time dilly dallying around the issues of getting something accomplished and on the record. if it has to go as far as subpoenas, that s probably where it s going to end up. also a letter to a serbian official who once served as president of the u.n. general assembly. the committee is asking him for documents related to hunter biden and to participate in an interview with committee staff. chairman james comer calling him a key witness in the
A need for that underlying information, right? so, does president trump ultimately succeed with the delaying tactic? i don t think so. but this is not going to move as quickly as some people might like, lindsey. vaughn, any clues about whether, again, per laura s reporting, this is related to january 6th and attempts to overturn the election. any idea if investigators will speak to pence about the documents or classified documents that were found? there is the prearranged plan to search mike pence s residence. now when that is exactly taking place is still unclear here at this time. but i think that that is where mike pence in his team have argued they try to get out in front of this here because they came forward to the department of justice and said they had found classified documents. also a question of whether pence s political organization will also be searched here. but it is a matter of timing here now at this point. they have tried to draw a distinction between joe biden an
Going to get this special master and that s going to allow me to delay things but it seems like the special master hasn t really been on his side. is that a huge blow? was the special master trump s hail mary? is that what they re sort of saying in trump world or was this just another delaying tactic? it wasn t exactly a hail mary. but it was more than a delaying tactic. i think this was a strategy by trump and his legal team to try to gain an advantage in this investigation frankly. they thought that they could recommend as a special master someone who would be more beholden to what trump wants than what the law necessarily dictates, and what s happened this week is we have seen the special master exert some independent judgment and kind of put trump in a position that i don t think he anticipated after getting the approval of the special master. so it s not quite a hail mary, but it s certainly this is all a
90 days. that is literally three times the amount of time. that fits. that may be the motivation here. maybe, in the end, just as barbara said, the information that is investigating the documents are a little bit different. it maybe eat another delay tactic. and i think that would not be an incorrect where do you think about this. we have seen president trump s legal strategy. it has been going back to when he was president. democrats took over congress and began trying to use oversight and use the legal system as a delaying tactic. they wanted to run out the clock. they wanted to fight everything. they wanted to slowly litigate it. take your time to write the briefs, have the arguments, get a ruling, appeal it to the next level and then start all over again to one of the clock. the clock was the next election. and it was whether or not congress would review any damaging information. he was seeking reelection.
Such recklessness that it s almost worse than taking the documents. the federal judge who released the inventory is weighing trump s request for a, quote unquote, special master to review those documents. she has indicated she is inclined to grant that request when it will come down is unknown at this time. joining us now to help perspective on all this is former prosecutor michael zeldin. good to see you, michael. good morning. and also in that interview bill barr saying that the actions of the fbi look more understandable as more information comes out, he also had more pointed words in a new york times interview where he said that trump s motion to get independent arbiter is a crock of you know what. in your opinion, is it a bunch of b.s.? well, it s certainly a delaying tactic. if it had been filed on day one, as soon as the search occurred and they said, look, there are
