benny johnson
Ladies and gentlemen, the breaking news right now is absolutely stunning, and we are working very hard.
So hard, in fact, that we had ALX pop on the screen there for just a second.
So for just a second, executive producer of the show, ALX, we are hustling and grinding and bringing you the shocking, stunning news, ladies and gentlemen, that is going to potentially break this regime in...
What is happening now?
There is a special counsel.
That has now been appointed to look into Joe Biden and his crimes, handling and mishandling of classified information, along with a third tranche of classified documents discovered in Joe Biden's private residences.
We haven't even begun to see the end of this story, ladies and gentlemen, and it's about to get bad.
The Bible said pride cometh before destruction.
They went after Donald Trump hard and heavy for his legal handling of classified information.
And now, Joe Biden being the one who has absolutely and totally, egregiously broken the law because he has absolutely no plenary power to classify or declassify.
He has no right to ever have these documents.
And were they being held at Hunter Biden's house?
All of these questions we will answer for you in this Breaking News Live.
First off, let's cut to the breaking news of Merrick Garland.
Announcing the investigation into the president in which he serves under, utterly and completely unprecedented.
And unprecedented is the end of Joe Biden.
Here's what Merrick Garland had to say about the appointment of the special counsel.
merrick garland
Earlier today, I signed an order appointing Robert Herr a special counsel for the matter I've just described.
The document authorizes him to investigate whether any person or entity violated the law in connection with this matter.
The special counsel will not be subject to the day-to-day supervision of any official of the department, but he must comply with the regulations, procedures, and policies of the department.
Mr. Herr has a long and distinguished career as a prosecutor.
benny johnson
All right, ladies and gentlemen, so what do we know about this Mr. Herr?
Who is Robert Herr?
What is going on with the special counsel?
And is there any precedent to this at all?
No.
The answer is no.
Oftentimes, you don't have people who are vice president who are now under criminal investigation for mishandling of classified information.
Breaking news.
Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed special counsel to review Biden's classified documents.
Move came after lawyers discovered more classified documents in Biden's home.
Republicans demanded a special counsel look into the matter.
Garland announced the special counsel run by Robert Herr.
Robert Herr is appointed to conduct the original investigation investigation.
the classified files and he will fill the role.
This appointment underscores for the public the department's commitment to both independence and accountability in particularly sensitive matters and making decisions indisputably guided by the facts.
That's a total joke.
Democrats will...
I hope the move quells a flood of criticism from Republicans who've demanded a special counsel.
This is Robert Herr right here.
What do we know about the man in charge of the special counsel?
Here is his Wikipedia page.
Robert Herr, born in 1973, American attorney who serves as the United States Attorney for the District of Maryland, 2018-2021.
He's previously served as Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General.
On January 12, 2023, Merrick Garland appointed him as a special counsel responsible for investigating Joe Biden's handling of classified documents found at his home.
And now we have confirmed a third tranche of documents have been found.
unidentified
Jonathan, our team just got off the phone with a senior official at the Department of Justice weighing in on this point.
We appear to be able to confirm that that is correct, that a third discovery was a single document.
According to this official to Fox News, the DOJ just found out about that one this morning, and it was found at his residence.
benny johnson
So, Fox News confirming that there is now more documents being found at his residence.
That's a little interesting.
Is it actually Joe Biden's residence?
We have multiple reporters saying that this was actually Hunter Biden's residence, and we have proof of that.
We'll bring you that in just a moment.
But what does Jonathan Turley, one of our favorite...
Academic scholars, certainly not a massive right-winger.
He's actually a professor at Georgetown.
What does Jonathan Turley have to say about this?
Jonathan Turley has been savaging Joe Biden on the internet today, tweeting at Joe Biden.
There we go.
The president just said the documents found in the garage are a locked garage like his Corvette.
The Corvette standard is particular is actually not in the classified protocols.
Joe Biden claiming that his Corvette was locked.
Therefore, these documents in his garage were also locked.
Jonathan Turley going ham on Joe Biden today.
We'll bring you more of those tweets.
Here's Jonathan Turley on Fox in just literally seconds ago.
unidentified
So, we have to learn more about that timeline.
In terms of the appointment of special counsel, there wasn't any alternative.
In my view, for Merrick Garland.
It's rather belated.
But notably, he only appointed a special counsel for the purposes of these documents.
With Trump, he expanded it to include January 6th allegations.
And one thing that many of us have suggested for two years is that we are well past the date when you should have appointed a special counsel on the Biden influence peddling allegations.
Those will not be included, apparently, as part of the investigation of the new special counsel.
benny johnson
Okay, so what will be included is the mishandling of these docs.
Of course, they are using a two-tiered system of justice.
To combat that, and James Comer is doing so in the House.
Comer, Biden classified material storage worse than Donald Trump's handling of classified material.
It is, in fact, worse on many, many reasons and on many fronts.
But the front that strikes me is that Donald Trump was the president of the United States.
Joe Biden was not the president of the United States.
Joe Biden has absolutely no power to classify or declassify or to hold any classified documents, whereas the president, including, but not limited to, President Obama, President Clinton, President Bush.
There's actually established law based on President Clinton keeping classified documents inside of his sock drawer, and that has never been overturned.
Therefore, it is standing precedent and law in this country right now that presidents have the ability to maintain and keep classified documentation.
So Donald Trump, of course, does not have any problem with this, and this will blow up in their faces.
Jonathan Turley, of course, making a very good point there that the special counsel will not be looking into Biden's influence peddling.
We covered this morning that the Representative James Comer said on Thursday at Fox News Channel, the Faulkner focused that in light of the second classified documents being found, President Joe Biden's garage, his handling of classified materials was worse than former President Donald Trump.
Comer said everything he accused President Trump of with respect to the storage and handling and possession of the classified documents, we now know President Biden did the same thing, only worse, because there are multiple occasions and we really don't know what process was involved.
None of this makes any sense.
They have not been transparent or truthful.
That's why we're investigating the Biden family.
We believe that they have been compromised.
They are compromised by the millions of dollars they receive from our enemies around the world.
ALX, see if we can't get this clip.
And let's load up this clip because this is fire.
Look at the man's eyes.
This man has not been sleeping much.
This man is, you know, protect James Comer with everything you got.
James Comer is the bulldog right now inside of the GOP.
And he is going after Joe.
Biden.
He is going to be looking into these documents, and he is going to be making requests for the documents.
He's already requested to have all those documents transferred to his committee.
He has not sent subpoenas yet.
I'm sure that will be forthcoming.
Classified docs found in Delaware garage next to Corvette.
This from the New York Post.
We absolutely loved the front page of the New York Post.
Storage wars.
Look at where Joe Biden was keeping these documents.
Are you seeing this?
Check this out.
Look where Joe Biden was keeping these documents.
Look at that.
There's a lampshade there.
Look at this filth.
Look at this garbage just chucked in the corner there.
Look at this.
There they are.
That's the classified documents.
There they are.
You're looking at them right now on your screen.
This is where Joe Biden was keeping these documents, okay?
Unbelievable.
Let's read the article.
President Biden admitted Thursday that more classified documents were found inside of his Delaware garage near his prized classic Corvette after a revelation Monday that 10 sensitive documents were found in Biden's former think tank.
The jaw-dropping disclosure comes as the Justice Department reviews whether Biden mishandled classified information and potential crime as he left office as vice president in 2017.
Thursday afternoon, Merrick Garland appointed a special counsel.
Classified materials next to your Corvette?
What were you thinking, Fox News reporter Peter Doocy said.
My Corvette's in a locked garage, okay?
It's like Fort Knox, okay?
This is the most secure election, I mean, garage in human history, okay?
So it's not like they're sitting out on the street, Biden replied.
We actually have that exchange for you.
Classified material.
unidentified
Next year, Corvette?
benny johnson
What were you thinking?
joe biden
Let me, I'm going to get a chance to speak on all this, God willing, soon.
But as I said earlier this week, people, and by the way, my Corvette's in a locked garage, okay?
So it's not like you're sitting out in the street.
But anyway, yes, as well as my Corvette.
But as I said earlier this week, people know I take classified documents and classified materials seriously.
I also said we're cooperating fully and completely with the Justice Department's review.
As part of that process, my lawyers reviewed other places where documents from my time as vice president were stored, and they finished the review last night.
They discovered a small number of documents of classified markings in storage areas and file cabinets in my home and my personal library.
This was done in the case of the Biden-Penn Center, the Department of Justice.
Was immediately, as was done, the Department of Justice was immediately notified and the lawyers arranged for the Department of Justice to take possession of the document.
So you're going to see, we're going to see all this unfold.
I'm confident.
benny johnson
Now we talked to you through our contention this morning.
That this might be an op being run against Joe Biden to stop him from running in 2024.
They may have done this entire thing as a setup.
Merrick Garland is not run by Joe Biden.
Merrick Garland is run by Barack Obama, who's actually in control.
Barack Obama's in charge.
Barack Obama said multiple times his dream would be to be president without having to be the public figure.
Barack Obama would be able to meddle and then appoint and elect and to pull the strings of some dumb, moronic Muppet.
Who happens to be president?
That man's name is Joe Biden.
Joe Biden is the dumb Muppet who kept classified documents or, of course, was hosed by Barack Obama sashing classified documents.
I mean, it's one or the other.
Either Joe Biden is using them for malevolent reasons to sell them to foreign governments or Barack Obama did a hose job on Joe Biden and planted these little bombs all around in order to take him down.
Look at this.
Look at Joe Biden, his stupid Corvette.
Look at this.
This is where Joe Biden says the classified documents are being stored.
Look at this filth.
This comes from, of course, just a classic.
This is the Penn Biden Center here.
Here's the Joe Biden house, by the way.
Just a reminder, what a teeny little, what a small little cabin.
Teeny little shack that you keep your private documents in.
Remember.
Remember, boys and girls, a life of public service and humility equals gigantic mansions and pools by the water in Delaware.
Huge, palatial mansions with classified documents inside of them, right?
Where does this come from?
This comes from a dumbass video that was released by Joe Biden during the campaign where you could actually see the documents held inside of a shoddy, filthy...
storage unit in the garage.
joe biden
I like to drive.
I used to think I was a pretty good driver.
I'm looking forward, if it's true, to driving one that they're making an electric Corvette and go 200 miles an hour.
You think I'm kidding.
I'm not kidding.
So I'm excited about it.
unidentified
Thank you.
benny johnson
See that?
You see the, uh...
The end there?
You see what else is in the box?
Let me know in the comment section.
Light up that comment section.
I want to know.
Is Salty Army out here?
I want to know.
The base moms, base dads, people around the country?
Let me know.
What else is in this box?
You clearly have a lampshade there in Biden's garage.
You clearly have some other rubbish and garbage thrown down here.
This is his prized possession.
This is his prized possession.
Joe Biden's prized possession.
And it's kept inside of this filth.
There are the classified documents, right there.
Wow.
Incredible.
Eric Schmidt, Senator from Missouri.
Missouri, stand up strong.
Are you from Missouri?
Let me know in the comment section.
Let me know, ladies and gentlemen.
I want to know, what does your garage look like?
Is your garage as filthy as Joe Biden's?
Do you have classified documents inside of your garage?
Watch out, federal agents monitoring this show, Mike.
Come after you.
Be careful.
I have no classified documents inside of my garage.
It's where my kids play.
Questions for Merrick Garland.
Will these top-secret documents discovered by Biden's Corvette be spread out on the garage floor and photographed and then leaked?
Great question from Eric Schmidt.
Let's go back here to Jonathan Turley, who again has been absolutely given the business to Joe Biden today.
The White House counsel could now cite the long-standing slogan, Corvette, like a car, only better.
The Corvette statement was remarkably ill-considered.
It was a cringeworthy moment.
After being given a carefully worded statement by his lawyers and staff, the president ad-libbed and suggested that his locked garage was a secure space for classified material.
This is precisely what Joe Biden did, and it's precisely why Joe Biden is being criticized even by the most straight-laced reporters on Fox News.
Brett Baer?
When was the last time you saw Brett Baer drop bombs on behalf of Donald Trump?
Against Joe Biden.
I think Bret Baier is like close friends with Joe Biden.
That's why Joe Biden goes on his show.
But even Bret Baier was like taking the hammer to this story.
Watch.
bret baier
In this way.
Now.
What's interesting is the coverage of all of this and the Republicans saying there are two tiers here in the way that the administration is dealing with it and the media is dealing with it.
And that's fair.
There were news organizations that had 3D layouts of how many people could have gotten to the documents in Mar-a-Lago.
Well, will we see that with how many people could have gotten in the garage in Wilmington?
Remember, this president in his first year in office spent, first and second year, spent 200 days out of the White House, either in Wilmington or in Rehobo.
The New York Post did a story in October which said there were no Secret Service records of who visited the president in Wilmington, Delaware during that time.
That's a time when he's dark and we don't know who he's meeting with.
They wanted to know and the Secret Service can't provide those documents.
So there are all kinds of questions about access.
To where these classified documents were, the Penn Center, the garage next to the Corvette, and possibly, as you mentioned, Sandra, a third that the Attorney General mentioned today.
john roberts
You know, Brett, I saw that same 3D animation that you were talking about in the New York Times, which had a full layout.
You would sweep through it as you scrolled through it on your tablet or your mouse.
This was the chamber.
This was the door that entered the chamber that led to the...
Blah, blah, blah.
And people were here, and they might have had access to the door.
And again, I wonder, in fairness, will the New York Times do the same thing about the Penn-Biden Center and Biden's garage?
I don't expect they will.
bret baier
And the Corvette, I mean, who had keys to the garage?
john roberts
Exactly.
And, you know, were the fumes that were being off-gassed from the Corvette have any deleterious effect on the documents themselves?
I mean...
benny johnson
Who did have access to the garage?
That's actually a great question.
So Brett Baer is, you know, posing that question in jest, but he's not too far off here.
This story gets crazy, ladies and gentlemen.
Watch this.
In 2018, this is from Miranda Devine, the author of Laptop from Hell, one of our favorites, and a friend of the show.
Miranda Devine, a reporter for the New York Post, saying and the the unequivocal expert inside of the Biden family criminality, is saying that in 2018, Hunter Biden claimed that he owned the house where Joe Biden kept Huh?
What?
Here's the background sheet for Robert Hunter Biden, detailing that he is the one actually who's in, he is actually the one that owns the house here in Wilmington.
unidentified
Uh...
benny johnson
What?
What exactly?
Now hop over here.
Marco Polo.
This is a non-profit research group that does great work.
Not only that, Hunter Biden declared his Delaware DMV that he resided in the home in Barley Mill Road.
That is the Joe Biden mansion.
Well, this is good news for you.
A lot more billable hours.
They tag They tag Hunter Biden's lawyer there.
Here's Hunter Biden's driver's license.
There you go.
There's the address.
So Hunter Biden was living.
He was responding, by the way, to Miranda Devine, the reporter who also, you know, who is the world's expert on Biden criminality.
unidentified
So what?
benny johnson
So Joe Biden was actually storing top secret documents inside of Hunter Biden's house?
Let me say it again.
Joe Biden was storing top-secret documents inside of Hunter Biden's house.
Is this starting to make sense?
Starting to make sense now?
Is it starting to make sense?
unidentified
Is it starting to make sense?
benny johnson
Joe Biden wearing a mask.
Joe Biden wearing a mask inside of a car by himself.
That's what that is.
But here, in this video, you can see, this is Joe Biden bragging.
This is Joe Biden bragging about his car.
You can see here, in this scene, watch.
Watch this.
Hubris, ladies and gentlemen.
There we go.
Here's Joe Biden backing into the garage, and you'll be able to see the documents.
Boom.
There you go.
This, from Joe Biden's Twitter account.
Oh my, oh my.
Pride cometh before destruction.
There are the documents.
This filthy, filthy old man.
There it is.
Breaking footage.
Classified state secrets in Joe Biden's secure locked garage.
Inside of Hunter Biden's house?
Come on, man!
Yeah.
That's right.
That's what's going on.
This is producer ALX making his second appearance here on the show.
Is this super secure storage location of Joe Biden's classified documents?
Again, you have a lampshade.
You have some old rubbish, some books, some folders, some paraphernalia.
Joe Biden's hairy leg cream, clearly.
His, you know, sunscreen for his hairy hair, his legs that turn blonde in the sun.
Maybe Corn Pop lives in this garage.
Who knows?
We know Hunter Biden lives in this garage.
Again, here's Joe Biden with Hunter Biden in the Corvette.
They're posing.
Creeps.
And here...
Ladies and gentlemen, is Hunter Biden's driver's license, where you can see that Hunter Biden is listing his home address as the home where Joe Biden is keeping classified information.
Babylon B says, Biden says he's unaware of any classified docs or who he is or why he's sitting in the Oval Office.
After another trove of classified documents was found at Biden's residence, Biden defended himself by claiming he's unaware of any classified documents or who he is or why he's sitting in an oval-shaped office.
Seriously, Jill, what's going on here?
Is this a joke?
Cried and outraged Biden.
To a nearby potted plant.
Ooh, baby!
What's gonna happen to Joe Biden?
Well, we have the word from Kevin McCarthy.
Kevin McCarthy.
Is taking a line out on Biden, baby.
Watch this.
unidentified
Do you see this matter regarding the classified documents found in President Biden's home going before that committee?
kevin mccarthy
I see it could go from that committee or others, but I think Congress has to investigate this.
Here's an individual that's been in office for more than 40 years.
Here's an individual that sat on 60 Minutes that was so concerned about President Trump's documents locked in behind, and now we find it just as a vice president keeping it for years out in the open in different locations.
I do not think...
Any American believes that justice should not be equal to all.
And we found from this administration what happened before every single election, whatever comes out that they utilize to try to falsify it, they try to have different standards for their own beliefs, that doesn't work in America.
benny johnson
What Kevin McCarthy is saying there is that they are attempting to use...
News stories like this to rig elections.
They knew that Joe Biden was doing exactly the same thing that Donald Trump was doing, and they also knew about that before the midterm election.
They decided to leak it out now.
Why?
Well, so that Democrats could win or at least stave off horrendous defeat in the midterm elections, and so that they could utilize this news cycle in order to pressure Joe Biden into either doing what they want him to do, into resigning, into not running again in 2024.
This is called leverage.
It's a mafia tactic.
Ladies and gentlemen, James Comer, again in charge of the GOP investigations, criminal investigations into Joe Biden and into his family and his family's business dealings, had this to say on Fox News as it pertains to these new documents.
Now, third tranche of documents, top secret documents, found one of them presumably at Hunter Biden's house.
Yes.
I mean, you can now effectively say that the Biden family was selling state secrets to foreign governments.
If Hunter Biden had his crack-filled, prostitute-filled hands on these documents, you can rest assured that they were sold to the highest bidder.
Listen to James Comey.
unidentified
A document that was in an adjacent room.
We don't know if that room was locked up.
We do know there wasn't a Corvette in it.
Congressman?
james comer
Very sloppy.
This is something that's not going to go away.
Why didn't they tell us this yesterday when the story broke about the documents being found in the Biden Center?
We're going to find out more.
benny johnson
Oh, so you think they knew?
james comer
I don't know if they knew or not, but if they didn't, that's a concern.
We know that what we learned two days ago happened in November.
They may have known and thought they had it bottled up, but if they did know...
When the first set of documents was found and they didn't talk about the second, then that's a huge problem because they're not being transparent with the American people.
The Biden administration has a history of covering things up.
We're seeing that with the Biden family influence peddling investigation.
They're trying to cover things up.
And it's getting to the point to where people are starting to realize this isn't a political investigation.
This is a serious investigation because there are too many connections to China, too many connections to anonymous donations to the tune of millions of dollars.
unidentified
Ukraine, Iran.
james comer
Ukraine, Iran, Russia.
benny johnson
So, correction, they're billions of dollars.
You can go back and track billions of dollars from China and its state entities inflowing into the University of Pennsylvania.
Why?
Well, it all curiously happened to occur when they began the Penn Biden Center.
And so that is what James Comer is talking about there.
What has been posited, obviously, about this connection is that the Biden family that is already criminally complicit and doing business directly with the Communist Party of China, an office that Hunter Biden had, and he shared keys with various Chinese agents, agents that were so duplicitous and were so malevolent that our own federal government arrested them.
These were Hunter Biden's business partners.
These people are selling out this country.
These people are evil.
This is why it's so important to have the special counsel.
What will the special counsel be doing?
Well, this special counsel, and by the way, this is him.
He's 50 years old.
His name is Robert Herr.
Robert K. Herr.
Garland said Herr is authorized to investigate whether any person or entity violated the law in connection with the classified documents.
He stressed Herr's independence.
Special counsel will not be subject to day-to-day supervision of any official of this department.
Comply with the regulations procedure of the department.
Herr is from Maryland.
He was the state attorney for the District of Maryland.
He privilgely served as principal associate deputy attorney general.
I'm confident Mr. Hur will carry out his responsibility in an even-handed, urgent manner in accordance with the highest traditions of the department.
He did not answer any questions as he left the room.
Trump was among many Republicans demanding a special counsel and demanded that Garland end the probe into the handling of classified material for him.
Merrick Garland has to immediately end the special counsel investigation into anything related to me because I did everything right and appoint special counsel to investigate Joe Biden, who hates Biden as much as Jack Smith hates me.
He said on Truth Social.
Classic Trump there.
Garland's announcement came after the White House revealed a second batch of classified documents.
Now a third batch of classified documents have been found.
It was the latest bombshell to come days after reporters asked about sensitive documents that were also found in his former D.C. office.
Richard Sauber, special counsel to the president, said the files were immediately handed over to the National Archives as Department of Justice was notified.
Biden told reporters that the White House...
He was cooperating fully and completely with the Justice Department investigation as to how and why the classified material and government records were improperly stored.
Peter Doocy of Fox News asked the president how he could keep classified materials in a garage next to a Corvette.
What were you thinking?
Yeah.
And Joe Biden said they were in a locked garage, okay?
I just cannot get over that.
I cannot get over that.
The locked garage.
You want to see the locked garage?
There it is.
There's your locked garage.
Does that look locked to you?
There you go.
Right next to the lampshade.
There's your classified documents.
unidentified
There they are.
benny johnson
Right there.
And again, again, ladies and gentlemen, this is the house that Hunter Biden claims he owns.
Joe Biden claimed he owned this house where Joe Biden's keeping his classified documents.
Barley Hill Road.
They're in Wilmington, Delaware.
That's the house that he owns.
Current address.
It's also the address listed on Hunter Biden's...
unidentified
Hunter Biden's driver's license.
Ha!
benny johnson
So is Hunter Biden, actually?
The person?
Who's in charge of these documents?
Oh, baby.
Here's praying and hoping.
Robert K. Hur.
Don't know much about him.
He was nominated by Donald Trump, though.
So, he's a Trump nominee.
That's, I guess, what's happening here.
Harvard Law School?
Stanford Law School?
Worked for the Ninth Circuit.
Appeals court.
So there you go.
Ladies and gentlemen, that's the news right now.
That's where we're at.
Special counsel investigation into this man right there for having documents hidden inside of this garage right here.
There you go.
That's where Joe Biden keeps his special documents.
With this guy.
unidentified
Hmm.
benny johnson
Well, that's what we have right now for this news break.
Ladies and gentlemen, let me know in the comment section, what do you think?
Joe Biden go to jail?
Hunter Biden go to jail?
Which one's going to go to jail first?
We brought you Section 1720, U.S. Code 18B, that says that mishandling of classified documents means guaranteed jail time, massive fines, and forfeiture of office.
Is this what they're going to use to kick Joe Biden out of office?
Merrick Garland is having to appoint a special counsel.
Trust me, he did not want to do that, or did he?
Is Merrick Garland, who the real boss of Merrick Garland is Barack Obama.
Is he acting at the orders of Barack Obama to finally take out the Muppet?
Keep him from running again in 24?
So they can anoint Gavin Newsom to make all of America California?
Are they officially done?
Are they officially done with the show?
Dangerous times that we live in.
That's why we need to stay connected and stay informed.
