Katy Tur Reports

grand jury. now we're just waiting to see when that wraps up and when we could see a vote, katy. >> and it could possibly happen today. ken, lay out the scope here. what charges could be coming, emphasis on could? >> could is a good word, katy. it's a secret process. there's been a lot of reporting suggesting that fani willis is building a racketeering case, and there would be predicate crimes as a part of that. that's a sort of catch all conspiracy, so one of the possible crimes is forgery, another is false statements. essentially they're looking at a setting of actions taken by donald trump and the people around him to try to stop the lawmaker transfer of power in georgia, including his efforts to pressure state officials, the creation of that false slate of electors, a data breach in one of the counties, and so what's interesting about this case is on the one hand, it's much narrower in scope than the federal case that jack smith brought. it involves mostly the actions of a single state. we believe she's going to charge

emerges. we don't know everything and the key point about you making clear that it's five years on paula mentioned this as well is that this is a trump us attorney holdover intentionally, so the biden ministrations made sure that the u. s attorney in delaware, which is one, the one overseeing investigating the case was kept on from the trump years in order to try to separate itself from, you know, basically recuse itself from the from the investigation without actually appointing a special counsel right? it knew what the optics would be if they brought in the u. s attorney who was appointed by biden, obviously, but the reality is that this investigation is going on at doj the republicans on the hill. they have their own investigation going on, and they asked congressman james comer. he is a republican chair of the oversight committee about what they found now two months into their investigation of hunter biden. here's what he said. you

recently, and wisconsin supreme court the election. of the liberal candidate there. do you think this? how do you think that this um tonight. this ruling and also this case moving forward. these cases we should say will impact that energy. well this case tonight the ruling tonight definitely was eliciting a very big sigh of relief from republicans. you probably couldn't hear it because it was very quiet, very private. but it was definitely there. um it is true that this is definitely not the end of this discussion. it's not the end of the road, as as elliot and joan have described. but what is also true is what you said audie that it's not just tim scott. but other republicans who are trying to find a way to bridge what they think that they need to do for the gop primary electorate. and the potentially for a general electorate on this issue. i can't think of one that

they will take up the case is still an open question. now, as you noted justices alito and thomas dissented, and in alito's justice alito's dissent. he even questioned whether the fda would even obey any sort of order that would force them to restrict their approval of this drug. saying specifically, the government has not dispelled legitimate doubts that it would even obey and unfavorable order in these cases, much less than it would choose to take enforcement actions to which it has strong objections to the next. the next move in this case will be oral arguments before the fifth circuit. those are scheduled for may. 17th yeah, that was an unusual descent and really interesting we're gonna talk about more of that. paula reed. thank you so much. let's bring in our team of cnn all stars. on this friday night, joan biskupic alley, cornish, dana bash, and elliot williams. joan kick it over to you first because you have closely covered the court for years. you know the justice is better than just about anyone. it's really interesting here. of course, as

and say, well, look here. here's extra evidence and paperwork you may not have available to you. here's what i was thinking at the time, which is going to be a critical element of what the adjustment would have to prove. they have to prove his intent. and if he can make a case for saying no, no, no, i did not have criminal intent here. here's i was actually doing something legitimate, you know, it might be in his interest to do that. so that's probably what you're seeing here. maybe it works. maybe it doesn't but it's not uncommon at all for people under investigation to meet with the justice department, but are you surprised it's five years on and a little bit because, you know, look, if it isn't fact a misdemeanor or, you know, not very serious. when we firearm charge attack starts. that shouldn't be that hard to build . you know, it's a couple of pieces of evidence in a couple elements of the offense. it's just not that hard. you're not talking about what we were the last hour earlier few minutes ago racketeering or something like that. it's relatively straightforward, so i don't know if it's a political influence thing. i don't know if new evidence emerged from a seashell in the ocean. i don't know. and we'll just have to see what

. you've seen the hunter biden legal team, taking a much more aggressive, forward leaning approach. they've been much more litigious. for example, here there are also leaning in requesting an update, but now they have a whole. another problem on their hands as an irs agent has sent a letter to congress, saying that he has information that this whole thing has been mishandled. how does that fit into all of this? do we have any indication that that is why this meeting was set up? what's going on here? so based on our reporting, this meeting was requested several weeks back before we certainly knew, or they knew about this whistleblower, but this could potentially depending on what this individual can actually show. this could be a real headache for the biden legal team and potentially the justice department. we know from a letter sent to congress and our sources that this individual says that they have evidence that this case has been mishandled that there has been political interference, and they say they even potentially have evidence that the attorney general was not honest when he testified before congress that
