MARIA: PRESIDENT BIDEN SITTING DOWN FOR A RARE INTERVIEW WITH THE WEATHER CHANNEL HE HAS NOT ANSWERED ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BIDEN FAMILY INFLUENCE PEDDLING SCHEME SINCE DEVON ARCHER'S TESTIMONY LAST WEEK AND THE BANK RECORDS HAVE BEEN EXPOSED. INSTEAD, HE'S GOING ON THE WEATHER CHANNEL TO TALK ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE. HOUSE REPUBLICANS ARE RAMPING UP THEIR INVESTIGATION, OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN JAMES COMER REVEALING HIS PLANS TO RELEASE MORE BIDEN FAMILY BANK RECORDS THIS WEEK. JONATHAN, YOUR REACTION? >> IT'S INTERESTING, IF I WERE IN BIDEN'S POSITION I WOULD WANT TO FOCUS ON THE WEATHER, THAN THE TURBULENT POLITICAL WINDS THAT ARE COMING HIS WAY. I THINK IN HIS POSITION YOU'RE LOOKING AT A SITUATION WHERE YOU'RE TRYING TO DISTRACT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WITH THE SPECTACLE OF ALL THE TRIALS, CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST TRUMP AND MEANWHILE THE EVIDENCE IS CLEAR, THEY HAVE ENOUGH, MARIA, TO ACTUALLY IMPEACH HIM RIGHT NOW. I WAS TALKING WITH MY PARTNERS RIGHT NOW TO IMPEACH PRESIDENT BIDEN, HOWEVER, YOU WANT TO BUILD A CASE, THAT'S STRATEGY. LEGALLY SPEAKING, THEY HAVE ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO DO THAT. MARIA: I MEAN, THE EVIDENCE THAT THEY HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT, ADAM, INCLUDE BANK RECORDS. THE BANK RECORDS HAVE INDICATED AT LEAST 20 SHELL COMPANIES. >> RIGHT. MARIA: THAT MONEY HAS GONE INTO THE SHELL COMPANIES AND THEN COME OUT OF THE SHELL COMPANIES, GONE INTO BIDEN FAMILY ACCOUNTS. THEY ALSO HAVE WHISTLEBLOWER TESTIMONY INDICATING THAT THE DOJ MAY BE COVERING THIS UP. >> WELL, THAT SEEMS PRETTY CLEAR, DOESN'T SNIT THE ONE -- T IT? THE ONE THING THAT'S NOT CLEAR, THE REASON WE HAVEN'T SEEN AN IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDING OR MOVING MORE TECHNICALLY THAT DIRECTION, THERE'S A NUMBER OF TECHNICAL STEPS TO GET TO THAT POINT, I DON'T THINK THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO CHECK THE BOXES, HERE'S THE SMOKING GUN, HERE'S WHAT JOE BIDEN DID SPECIFICALLY, HERE'S THE MONEY THAT WENT INTO HIS ACCOUNT, HERE'S WHAT HE SAID AT A PARTICULAR MEETING, HERE'S THE TIT-FOR-TAT. THEY HAVEN'T FOUND THE SMOKING GUN. THERE'S A LOT OF MONEY THAT'S BEEN TRANSFERRED AND IT'S GONE TO A LOT OF BANK ACCOUNTS, IT'S GONE TO A LOT OF FAMILY MEMBERS BUT THERE'S NOTHING THAT SAYS THIS IS JOE BIDEN'S ACCOUNT, THERE'S THE MONEY THAT WENT RIGHT IN OR HERE'S THE TRANSCRIPT WHERE HE SAID I'LL GIVE YOU THIS IF YOU GIVE ME THAT. HE'S BEEN VERY, VERY CLEVER ABOUT QUOTE, UNQUOTE, TALKING ABOUT THE WEATHER AND A SITTING IN THE ROOM. MARIA: WE'LL SEE WHAT COMES OUT OF THE WEATHER CHANNEL INTERVIEW. WHAT THEY DO HAVE IS WHISTLEBLOWER TESTIMONY THAT JOE BIDEN SHOWED UP AT MEETINGS, BUSINESS MEETINGS WITH FOREIGNERS, WHETHER IT BE SHOWED UP ON A CONFERENCE CALL WHERE HUNTER DIALED HIM UP AT LEAST 20 TIMES OR SHOWED UP AT CAFE MILANO WHICH IS WHAT ANOTHER WHISTLEBLOWER TOLD US IN THE MIDDLE OF A MEETING. >> WELL, IT'S CRYSTAL CLEAR, HE WAS IN THE ROOM, HE WAS ON THE PHONE, ON THE CALLS, HE'S ENGAGING WITH PEOPLE. MARIA: THERE WAS THE BURISMA EXECUTIVE WHO SAID WE HAVE TO PAY 5 MILLION TO ONE BIDEN, 5 MILLION TO ANOTHER BIDEN WHICH HAS LED HOUSE INVESTIGATORS TO O SAY THAT'S BRIBERY. >> AND WHICH BIDEN. IF IT WERE JOE AND IT FLOWED INTO JOE BIDEN'S ACCOUNT IT WOULD BE CRYSTAL CLEAR. MARIA: HOUSE COLLEAGUES WERE TOLD IT WOULD BE BAD FOR THE COUNTRY IF THEY HAVE AN IMPEACHMENT TRIAL. >> I MEAN, I THINK A LOT OF THIS COMING INTO ELECTION YEAR, RIGHT, ESPECIALLY WITH THE LATEST INDICTMENT OF TRUMP, IT'S JUST POLITICAL NOISE. WE HAVE TO QUESTION THE TIMING OF EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING ESPECIALLY AROUND THE LATEST INDICTMENT. MARIA: WELL, WE ARE. AND IT'S INTERESTING TO HEAR MITCH McCONNELL SAY IT'S NOT GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY. SO IS IT GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY TO HAVE POTENTIAL BRIBERY? >> NO. MARIA: POTENTIAL MONEY LAUNDERING. >> IT'S SHOCKING. IT'S SHOCKING, MARIA. THERE'S NO PLACE FOR THIS SORT OF BEHAVIOR IN THIS COUNTRY. MARIA: AND WHEN THEY P COME THK IN 37 DAYS THERE WILL BE TWO PRIORITIES, KEVIN McCARTHY MAY VERY WELL HAVE THE PRIORITY OF IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY AND THE OTHER PRIORITY IS THE GOVERNMENT IS RUNNING OUT OF MONEY BY THE END OF SEPTEMBER. THEY HAVE TO DO SOMETHING. DO MARKETS CARE ABOUT THIS RIGHT NOW, BRENDA? >> IT'S INTERESTING. WE'VE HAD TREASURY AUCTIONS THAT HAVE HAPPENED AND THAT ARE HAPPENING. THE GOOD THING IS, THERE'S DEMAND THERE. I MEAN, THIS NUMBER IS JUST SHOCKING IN TERMS OF THE DEFICIT THAT THE U.S. IS IN. AND PARTICULARLY THE FITCH DOWNGRADE A FEW WEEKS AGO, I DON'T AGREE WITH THE TIMING OF THIS. I THINK A LOT IS ARBITRARY, BIZARRE TIMING. THERE IS A SPENDING THE PROBLEM THE U.S. HAS AND THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED COMING INTO THIS ELECTION YEAR. TH
