SEAN HANNITY (HOST): We get to the 2020 election and what happened? They had Hunter Biden's laptop since December of 2019. They verified it according to John Solomon in the spring of 2020.

But yet, we had FBI agents that were meeting weekly in the months leading up to the 2020 election pre-bunking the Hunter Biden laptop story by telling them directly, "You're likely going to be the victim of a misinformation campaign. It may be about Hunter. It may be about Joe Biden. You better be ready." But they knew the laptop story was coming and they knew Rudy Giuliani had a copy of it. 

JEANINE PIRRO (GUEST): Well, you know what the problem is with that? The problem is that is election interference. That is a crime. It's not only a constitutional violation of the First Amendment and the right of the press to be able to discuss things that are in the news. But they literally interfered with an election. We know that by the polls that came out afterwards that indicated that people would have changed their votes.
