She took questions over whether a president could legally pardon himself and whether her involvement in the disputed election of 2,000 disqualify her should it happen again this year but much of the inquiry had harsh political overtones. Shannon bream has highlights tonight from the confirmation hearing room. Date 2 of questioning was marked by some technical problems and some delays but we also got a look at professor barrett today, she was fielding questions time and time again from senators, but she also spent time breaking down complex legal issues and asking some questions of her own. Shes going to the court, the seat at the table is waiting on you. Republicans sounded confident but for Supreme Court nominee judge Amy Coney Barrett, it might of felt like groundhog day, date 2 of questioning by members of the Senate Judiciary committee, she repeatedly faced the same accusations of democrats leveled on day 1, that the president is fast tracking her nomination in order to speed her on the Supreme Court in time to strike down the Affordable Care act and hand him the 2020 election. U, justice kavanaugh, and chief Justice Roberts who worked on behalf of the Republican Party in matters related to the bush v gore case, do you think thats a coincidence . All these questions, youre suggesting that i have animus or cutting a deal with the president and i was very clear yesterday that is and what happened. The larger challenge here is not what you said about your views on cases, but what the president who has nominated you has said about his goals and his objectives for your service on the court to. I assure you i have my own mind. She used it to explain the concept to the key to the exportablAffordable Care act cae Supreme Court will hear in november, the individual mandate law and the rest of the law survives. A jank again, can you pull one out, will it all stand or if you pull two out, will it still stand . Barrett said the nomination process had been excruciating, knowing that she would be mocked. For me to say im not willing to undertake it even though i think this is something important would be a little cowardly and i wouldnt be answering a call to serve my country in a way that i was asked. Twice today the hearing was shut down when the audio went out, normally that would be an inconvenience but today its different and in the edge of the pandemic because some senators wanted to skype in and do it remotely through zoom including senator Kamala Harris. If they had to continue, there was worried that a delay would delay the entire process, this is on a tight timeline and schedule so republicans say they are determined to get this nominee seated before the election. All of the public questioning of her is now done, they are in a private session going through her fbi background check, it will be back here at 9 00 a. M. Tomorrow. Bret shannon, thanks. The election cycle tradition of an october surprise possibly being fulfilled tonight by the allegation that joe biden may have had a meeting he has vehemently denied, the Biden Campaign still denies it tonight but emails allegedly from his son hunter biden said the meeting was at least being set up. This about hunter biden and a powerful ukrainian businessman. If we have Fox Team Coverage tonight, and how social media is dealing with what many are saying censoring this story. A senior Political Correspondent mike emanuel has the specific spirit of and explosive story at a critical stage in his president ial campaign, newly released emails allegedly from joe bidens son hunters computer leading the capitol hill investigators starting a probe. The Homeland Security committee is now investigating a hard drive brought forward by a whistleblower, an attorney from Rudy Giuliani set a repair man came forward with a laptop and hard drive he says belong to hunter biden, he said it was dropped off at a shop and never picked up. If fox is told that has an estimated 40,000 emails, 1,000 text messages, and salacious photos and videos of a former Vice President s son, nelson at investigators are working with the whistleblower to confirm the information. He is legally blind, uses a monocle to do his job, and cannot confirm it was hunter who dropped off the laptop. I was concerned that somebody might want to look at it and i wanted out of my shop. Fox news has obtained an april 17 email, a source tells fox it came from the computer in question, its from a senior official from Ukrainian Energy firm burisma, he thinks hunter biden for inviting him to washington and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spend some time together. When joe biden was Vice President. The Biden Campaign said it reviewed his official schedules at the time and no meeting ever took place but this has been a very sensitive subject. Do you think it was wrong for him to take that position knowing that it was the company wanted access to you . Youre saying things you do not know what youre talking about, who said that . Theres also a email that mentions the hunter biden we urgently need your advice on how you can use their influence to convey a message, signal et cetera to stop what we consider to be politically motivated actions. At that time, hunter biden was being paid up to 50,000 per month by burisma while his father the Vice President was the point man for the Obama Administration on ukraine. Less than a year after the 2014 meeting where hunter introduced his father, the ukrainian prosecutor was fired, something joe biden bragged about in 2018. I said if the prosecutor is not fired, youre not getting the money. Well son of a bitch, he got fired. The Trump Campaign notes the Biden Campaign doesnt dispute the authenticity of the emails, fox news has reached out to ask of these ares emails and we havent gotten a response. Bret we know the owner turns it over to the fbi, do we know the providence of that, how it happens, when it happens . We understand there ha it has been in the fbis possession since 2019, its not clear how it got to an attorney with ties to Rudy Giuliani, the fbi is not talking about its possession of it, its turned over to the u. S. Attorneys office in delaware which would not confirm nor deny an investigation was underway. We understand there is some concern about whether the fbi had kept it, a guy kept a copy of it and passed it on to Rudy Giulianis camp and thus it ended up in public domain, at least part of it. Bret days from an election. If more to the scum of the social media reaction to the story has been fascinating and also highly controversial. Here is fox media analyst howard kurtz, this is quite something.

After the tabloids disclosed emails indicating a meeting between bidens father and that Energy Executive in ukraine, facebook said it would limit the stories distribution while an outside factchecker reviewed it, which is done if we have signal that a piece of content is false. Twitter is resorting to censorship of blocking its users from sharing the post peace even through direct messages, the post saying that twitter has now locked its account by arguing the paper has violated its rules against sharing packed material, thats a quote. This will feel criticism by President Trump and many others that Facebooks Mark Zuckerberg and twitter chief jack dorsey have acknowledged that their companies are accused of being biased against the right. Top repor reporters who challene document are taking heat from the left, the New York Times says the sketchy story left unclear when Rudy Giuliani obtained the document.
