12:01 pm
good monday afternoon. president-elect trump has just selected his son-in-law, jared kushner to serve in the white house. he's ivanka trump's husband and one of the president-elect's closest advisors. he has played major roles in the campaign already and the white house transition team. the law, as it turns out, bans presidents from hiring family members for cabinet or agency jobs. a federal judge ruled it does not appear to apply to white house staff positions. so kushner will be okay. he won't need senate confirmation. hearings for cabinet picks start tomorrow. the democrats are sounding off over the pace of the process. it's the big news in the u.s. senate where members are set to grill nine nominees in three days. five of them on wednesday alone. five hearings in one day is not
12:02 pm
unprecedented. it's happened recently, most recently with president obama and then with george w. bush. president-elect trumps predicts smooth sailing ahead. here's what he told reporters at trump tower after meeting with the chinese shopping giant ali baba. >> i think they're the best. they're the highest level. they'll do very well. >> but democrats are accusing republicans of trying to fast track these hearings. sort of ram the nominees through the senate. one major issue has been financial documents and conflict of interest paperwork that nominees are require to file with the government ethics office. sean spicer says all nominees with hearing have submitted their paperwork. just yesterday the "wall street journal" reported senate nominees were -- i should say
12:03 pm
senate committees were missing documents from four of the nominees. the head of the government ethics office said they were still reviewing several trump picks. chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell, walter schabb called the hearing of great concern. he said there's undue pressure to rush through the important reviews. more significantly, it's left some nominees with potentially unknown or unresolved ethics issues shortly before the scheduled hearings. mcconnell says the senate will vet all cabinet nominees after meeting with the president-elect at trump tower. the first hearing could be among the most contentious. we suspect it will be. it's for jeff sessions. he's for the attorney general. he was one of trump's biggest
12:04 pm
supporters. he's been in congress two decades. he serves on the judiciary committee and other panel. senator sessions faced controversy over the years. former president ronald reagan nominated him to be a federal judge when he was the u.s. attorney in alabama, but the senate rejected then sessions. after people that worked with him accused him of being a racist. one black assistant u.s. attorney at the time testified jeff sessions called him "boy" and he said he thought kkk members were okay until he learned they smoke marijuana. that's a quote. president-elect trump called sessions a high quality man and said the senator will do just great. we have team fox coverage. mike emanuel on capitol hill with more on the big hearings. shannon bream is in washington. what do we nor about senator sessions? >> it could get ugly. unlike his 1986 nomination to be a judge, supporters say he's ready and prepped this time
12:05 pm
around. he's described in 1986 hearing as an orchestrated smear campaign that he was unprepared for. hea vehemently using the word "boy." in addition to the claims, he will likely have to address allegation there's were racist motivations behind his 1985 voter fraud accusation in alabama. the son of two of the defendants is defending sessions. "he's not a racist. he was presented with evidence by a local district attorney that he relied on and his office presented. that's what a prosecutor does. i believe him." another note, the other key witness against sessions in 1986, some of his accounts have been called to question. >> what is the early word from
12:06 pm
democrats, shannon? >> doesn't sound like they'll give him a pass or get out of jail free card on this one. many are publicly criticizing him including sherrod brown, a democrat from ohio. >> i get it's never personal. i told senator sessions, i called him jeff, i told him my opposition, my voting against you when the vote comes up in the next two or three weeks. it's not personal. it's about his positions. >> there's democrat patrick leahy, the top democrat on the judiciary committee. he once called sessions wonderful to work with, but in a scathing piece in the "boston globe" today, he outlined the numerous times that sessions refused to work with him on a hate crimes bill, members of the lgbtq community and civil rights laws. so it's going to be a unique situation tomorrow as colleagues take aim at one of their own. shep? >> thanks, shannon. team fox coverage continues with mike emanuel.
12:07 pm
what are the democrats saying now? >> shep, democrats are trying to tap the brakes on confirming some of these nominees. chuck schumer was just on the senate floor just after gavelling in the session for the week. he accused republicans of trying to jam all of these confirmation hearing into one or two days. schumer talked about giving these nominees a careful review. >> president-elect trump's nominees pose particularly difficult ethics and conflict of interest challenges. they come, many of them, from enormous wealth. many have vast holdings in stocks and very few have experience in government. >> so republicans point to 2009 when it was president obama's nominees. they note that seven were confirmed on inauguration day. five others the first week. they're hoping for similar treatment this time around with president-elect trump's nominees. but senator schumer was explaining why he sees it as being different this time around, shep. >> what are republicans saying
12:08 pm
about the nominees? >> they're saying the ethics paper work has all been submitted and being reviewed. it's not done for all the nominees, but for all those that will be up for hearings this week, the paperwork is in according to sean spicer. nominees for secretary of state and attorney general headlined those expected to get hearings this week. the senate majority leader after meeting with president-elect talked about confirming his team. >> everybody will be properly vetted as they have been in the past. i'm hopeful it will get up to six or seven, particularly the national security team in place on day one. >> those familiar with the nominee preparations say they're qualified and have done their homework and ready. we'll found out. hearings start tomorrow morning. >> should be interesting, mike. an interesting opportunity for you at home, too. we'll have live coverage throughout the week. very important. you hear these hearings and make
12:09 pm
decisions about how you feel about them. coverage on fox news channel. we'll look into how the president-elect's schedule compares to -- president obama's schedule compares to president-elect trump's. that's coming up from the fox news deck on this monday afternoon. great to have you in. as i was researching my family tree, i discovered a woman named marianne gaspard... it was her french name. then she came to louisiana as a slave. i became curious where in africa she was from. so i took the ancestry dna test to find out more about my african roots. the ancestry dna results were really specific.
12:10 pm
12:12 pm
>> more now on president-elect donald trump's nominees. this week as we've been mentioning, packed with confirmation hearings. democrats ethics watch dog accusing the gop of pushes the process through. seems like what they accuse the other side every time of. and now they're getting after it at trump tower. let's bring in emily good den from real clear politics. part of the concern, the democrats, that most of these people are just -- like senator sessions is an outsider. a lot are unknown to government
12:13 pm
work. >> yeah, and that's why they're saying they need more time. they're saying there's reams of paper and investments of things for them to go through before they can vote on the nominees. >> senator sessions, it appears to our analysts that he may be the most contentious. do you have thoughts on that? >> no, i think that's going to be a huge confirmation hearing. in fact, it's going over two days. the only one getting two days this week. that right there tells you that they expect this to go long. as you said, democratic senators saying they're going against him hard. that's a big one to watch. >> specifically, could you inform our viewers on which matters do they have concern? >> it's his civil rights record. the things that have been discussed about his previous comments that have came up in his older confirmation hearings and the "boston globe" oped. he said that senator sessions
12:14 pm
was an extremist then and is the same now. you'll see democrats hit him over and over on the civil rights record. >> it's one thing for a confirmation hearing. it's another thing to block confirmation. is it possible they would have to do that? they'd have to have republicans to come with him. >> they would. frankly democrats have shot themselves in the foot on the confirmation process. they're the ones that changed the rules when they were in power. they made it a simple majority gets someone confirmed unless they're a supreme court nominee. republicans have 52 votes. we haven't seen any dissension that the republicans are going against the president-elect. it's going to be tough. >> any dissension on any of the nominees or something you see in the process that might cause some dissension? >> you never know what will come up in the hearings. they're a big unknown. so far republicans have been toting the line with the new president. we'll see what happens. >> so given what we know so far about particulars as we know
12:15 pm
them, these nine that will come up for a confirmation hearing the -- during the rest of the week, it appears democrats won't block them and republicans will get them moved in? >> yeah, that's the safe bet. the democrats will rail at the nominees, particularly education, betsy devos. obviously she will get some tough questions from bernie sanders. there will be fireworks but we'll see confirmation. >> chuck schumer has been vocal about his concerns. can you give us any specifics that you said might be coming from him regarding first, senator sessions? >> yeah, again, it goes back to the civil rights record. i'm also hearing a small argument among democrats for a counter strategy.
12:16 pm
that's to go ahead and let the nominees get confirmed and sit back and hope they'll make a mistake and say i told you so. make a big fuss after. there's a growing argument among some democrats to let trump do what trump will do and see what will happen. >> that would be a 180 from what the opposition party did last time. the republicans last time said our number 1 goal is to stop -- is to stop barack obama to get in the way of everything that he wants to push there. arguably they were effective in many areas. the democrats are taking a completely different turn that really has showed no sign of working in the past, has it? >> yeah, it's hit or miss. we'll see. i mean when republicans tried to block in the senate particularly last time, democrats changed the rules because they were in charge. now republicans are in charge. so they've got to change their strategy a little bit. >> i'm looking forward to watching it. that's for sure. >> good to view. >> thanks, emily.
12:17 pm

12:22 pm
girlfriend's front door and shot and killed her and wounded her brother when they answered. >> today we need our citizens to be vigilant. we need our citizens to be careful. you heard it said over and over again. the man we're looking for is very dangerous. >> and a $60,000 reward has been offered for information leading to lloyd's arrest. >> and a motorcycle crash during the search? >> yeah. he's described as a gentle giant. someone that will be greatly missed. the police officer was on a motorcycle, involved in the massive search when he was killed in an accident. hundreds of officers responded to the shooting but had trouble finding the alleged gunman that escaped in one vehicle and spotted at a nearby apartment complex where he fired at another sheriff's deputy and carjacked another vehicle and escaped. >> we have an ongoing search in the overall general area. that apartment complex is still

12:29 pm
president-elect's daughter, ivanka trump. he currently serves as a closed a visor to the president-elect and heads up the multimillion dollar real estate company. last month, there were reports that ivanka trump was going to get an office in the west wing of the white house. anti-nepotism laws stop presidents from appointing family members to cabinet or executive agency positions. some analysts say that law may not apply to white house positions. john roberts is at trump tower in new york city where transition is underway right now. hello, john. >> shep, good afternoon to you. you can find as many analysts that will say that that law does not apply and analysts say it does apply. it goes back to 1993 when bill clinton appointed hillary clinton to head up the
12:30 pm
healthcare task force. they sued to try to prevent hillary clinton from taking over the task force. two judges ruled that the law was passed in 1967, after president kennedy appointed his brother, bobby, to be attorney general and didn't apply to staff positions at the white house. the judges held if the position was a nonpaid position, it was possible for a family member to fill that position as well. so it looks like the trump transition is going to look at that law as present for having jared kushner in the white house. we don't yet know if they will look at both of those provisions or one of those provisions. donald trump is confident he will get his son-in-law in the white house close to him because don't forget at the white house, proximity is power, to be his senior advisor. shep? >> what has been trump's explanation of why -- of the importance of jared kushner? >> well, i make if you look at it, he's probably one of four
12:31 pm
people that trump trusts the most. the other would be ivanka as well as trump's sons. but jared kushner took this campaign that seemed to be rudderless and didn't have much of a structure and put together a lean, mean campaign machine. he targeted merchandise and marketing. he developed a data analytic system, the develops that nobody had ever seen before. microtargeting voters and what ads to run in television programs. that's how they won. people say if it wasn't for jared kushner, donald trump may be going back to business and hillary clinton might be in the white house. with jared kushner, moving to washington d.c., shep, he's going to bring with him his wife and family opening up, again, the possibility that ivanka trump that may take the office in the east wing of the white
12:32 pm
house and have a role in this administration. shep? >> john roberts live in new york. julian assange slamming the u.s. intelligence report on hacking. assange called the assessment quite embarrassing. he said it didn't provide any evidence that russia supply wikileaks with hacked e-mails from hillary clinton's campaign or the democratic national committee. assange called it a political attack on president-elect trump. in the report, intelligence officials say they have high confidence that putin ordered the campaign to interfere with the election. catherine herridge with the news live in washington. not sure why anybody pays attention to assange. apparently they are. >> he had a news conference this morning. he had to do it live via internet. he took most of the questions by a twitter today and he was very firm on his position that the
12:33 pm
individual or individuals who provided the e-mails were not connected to the russian government. here's a section of the news conference. >> wikileaks sources in relation to john podesta e-mails and the dnc leak are not members of any government. they're not state parties. they do not come from the russian government. >> what was surprising about the news conference today, assange didn't give more detail on who these individuals or who provided the e-mails because the intelligence report, as you noted from last week, is very definitive that the information was provided by the russian intelligence services working for vladimir putin and it was given to wikileaks because they have a reputation of being authoritative and carrying authentic documents.
12:34 pm
it's worth noting that the intelligence community found none of the documents from the dnc were doctored. and some republicans are noted of saying they will push for further sanctions because of the interference. >> they tried to interfere in our elections. you should let everybody know in america, republicans and democrats, that you're going to make russia pay a price for trying to interfere. >> it's that level of interference that the intelligence community reported a dresses but doesn't, as you notice, shep, indicate whether it had a big impact on the voters themselves. >> are there other investigations on the hill scheduled, catherine? >> there will be investigations on the house side and then also on the senate side. it's worth noting that we'll have our first public hearing with the leadership of the i.c. tomorrow in open session before
12:35 pm
the senate intelligence committee chaired by senator richard burr. you can expect more investigations. they will look at whether the i.c. provided what they call strategic warning. intelligence community is supposed to say this is what is coming down the pike, not being ambulance chasers after the fact. here's the republican chairman of the house intelligence committee. >> i publicly said this was the biggest intelligence failure since 9-11, our failure to understand putin's plans and intentions. we've known that russia is a very sophisticated bad actor in the cyber realm. many members of congress, not just members of the house intelligence committee have been warning the obama administration about russia's continued cyber attacks on this country. they did nothing. >> so back to you for some breaking news. >> thanks very much. the breaking news is in orlando, florida where the mayor, buddy dyer is holding a news
12:36 pm
conference for the man that shot and killed an officer this morning at a walmart. cops say the gunman is keith lloyd, his name. they say he's a suspect in the murder of his pregnant ex-girlfriend. let's listen to the mayor now through the facilities of wofl, our station in orlando. >> we're providing the community with critical information that they need so they can know that they're safe and security in their neighborhoods. i have spoken with the chief and sheriff. i'm confident that the actions being taken today are appropriate to keep you safe and to find this criminal. the chief will give you more details. chief? >> thank you, mayor. good afternoon. we wanted to provide you with some additional information and some updates about the homicide of master sergeant debra clayton. he was advised that there was a
12:37 pm
murder suspect close by the walmart. she attempted to make contact and was shot and killed by markeith lloyd. we know that debra returned fire. but we don't believe the suspect was hit or injured by her gun fire. backup officers arrived at the scene within 28 seconds. again, we do have probable cause for the arrest of markeith lloyd for first degree murder of a law enforcement officer and attempted murder of a sheriff's deputy, captain joe carter. the swat teams and hundreds of officers and deputies have been vigilantly pursuing all leads and searching for markeith lloyd. we have searched dozens of apartments and residences in an effort to find the suspect and bring him in. we have deployed numerous officers and detectives that specialize in looking for suspects who tried to avoid capture.
12:38 pm
we are using every resource possible to find him and arrest him. so we want the community to know if you are assisting markeith lloyd, evade capture, you will be criminally charged. i can assure you we won't rest until lloyd is behind bars. if you don't need to be an area of the brookside apartments, 5575 cinder lane parkway, avoid that area. a large police presence there we're actively continuing to search that area. i do want to say although markeith lloyd is very dangerous, we're one of the most well-protected communities. our sheriffs will continue to risk their lives for this community. this loss only strengthens our resolve to fight for justice in this community. master sergeant debra clayton grew up here.
12:39 pm
she deeply cared about this community. she was involved in many community engagement efforts and always the first to step up and volunteer to help kids. she was married. she had one son. he was in college. we have teams in place to assist sergeant clayton and her family and all the ways possible during this difficult time. we have family liaisons that will be at their side continuously as they make plays for laying her to rest. there will be a fund set up soon. we will provide those details to the public. our officers who responded this morning and our whole opd family is grieving. we will ensure that everyone gets counselling and any other assistance they need. the officers that worked day in and day out -- >> obviously the feed is breaking up there from orlando.
12:40 pm
i believe it's now been re-established. is that right? let's go back. well, it's frozen for the moment. one of those -- it's from a local station, wofl. it would appear the search is still underway for this suspect who is wanted in a number of crimes now in connection with the murder of his own girlfriend, in connection with the killing of a police officer a 17-year veteran in central florida this morning. and then tragically there was a motorcycle crash, an orange county deputy. orange county is the county where orlando is. a deputy was in a motorcycle crash this morning while searching for the suspect. somebody cut in front of the deputy. his motorcycle crashed. he went to a local trauma center. they were not able to save him. they have not released his name. this suspect is wanted, considered armed and dangerous. if you know this man, the authorities in central florida
12:41 pm
would appreciate a call. more ahead on russia and the hacks on our united states election. we'll talk to "wall street journal"'s john bussey and the ramifications about that. you won't hear anything like it. the idea of a foreign country meddling with our election. it's not as if it didn't happen. 17 intelligence agencies say it absolutely happened. the question is what do we do about it? that's next. hey, how's it goi? um... who are you? i'm val. the orange money retirement squirrel from voya. i represent the money you save for the future. see? we're putting away acorns to show the importance of being organized. that's smart. who's he? he's the green money you can spend now. what's up? oh you know, gonna pay some bills, maybe buy a new tennis racket. tennis racket for a squirrel? he's got a killer backhand. when it's time to get organized for retirement, it's time to get voya.
12:43 pm
and you're talking to youro doctor about your medication... this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain and protect my joints from further damage. this is humira helping me go further. humira works for many adults. it targets and helps to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. humira has been clinically studied for over 18 years. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis.
12:44 pm
serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. ready for a new chapter? talk to your rheumatologist. this is humira at work. >> continuing coverage now of the situation with jared kushner. he's the president-elect's son-in-law who the president-elect will bring to the white house we've been informed as a senior advisor to the president. john bussey is with us. occasionally you get ridiculous e-mails. by way of helping you understand why it is we're doing this, at least one of our e-mailers says
12:45 pm
this is -- why don't you report on the obama's mother and michelle's mother and how she's taking care of the children in the white house? no. it's so not -- stop. this is a real concern, and the fact that he's about to be dealing with a lot of investigations of this type is not one that goes unnoticed and unreportable. >> this is a relied upon assistant, advisor, guider of his campaign and now his presidency. he's going to be a gate keeper for information getting to the president. he's going to be unelected. he's not going to be confirmed by the senate. so all of those questions arise. at the same time, the argument on the other side is, hey, he's a trusted advisor. the president trusts his judgment. should he be allowed to have people and him to count on? he apparently can count on jared. >> there's some other matters in the mix now.
12:46 pm
tillerson, the controversy surrounding him hasn't gone away. flush it out here. he's friends with vladimir putin by all accounts. suggestions that kellyanne conway suggested that donald trump may roll back the sanctions on russia after he just hacked into our elections and complicit in the shooting down of an airliner the ukraine. how do you process the tillerson matter? >> catherine herridge had a good point. the investigations will continue into the first year, at least, of donald trump's presidency. he's going to be burdened by this question of what exactly happened. look, it's been shown by the intelligence agencies that the russians hacked the dnc and released the e-mails. what effect did that have on the election? that will continue to be a question that plays out. the intelligence agencies kept their hands off that. did it spin the election in some
12:47 pm
way? that's not our purview. we're showing they did. that's a that questions examined by committee after committee. the democrats have a reason to keep that in the mix. >> couldn't you argue -- poli c politics aside now, doesn't matter who it happened to, it's the reason they happened. oh, they worked for obama. no, they work for us. they're not political in any way. they work for lots of administrations. democrats and republicans. >> and the republicans feel that way. >> the republicans are in agreement. >> senator mccain and senator graham say we have to do something further about this. they're talking about additional sanctions. that will run up against trump's desire for a better relationship with russia. that may run up against rex tillerson's appointment for secretary of state. they're wondering is this
12:48 pm
secretary of state prepared to represent the interests of the united states against an acknowledged foe of a lot of our foreign policy initiatives overseas. a lot of efforts in syria, europe a variety of places. the question is whether the rest of the senate will find in behind mccain and graham. i don't know if you have ventured to guess how many times the senate have not approved a cabinet nomination, only three teams, in the last century. none this century. some people dropped their nomination, resigned from the nomination when they saw it wasn't going to go well but it's not uncommon to say no. >> full coverage the rest of the week. thanks, john. >> pleasure. >> the president says the republicans seem to be siding with russia instead of american intelligence agencies. >> we've seen a lot of
12:49 pm
commentary that the republicans have more confidence in vladimir putin than in fellow americans because those fellow americans are democrats. that cannot be. >> well, the president made those comments in an interview that aired yesterday on abc. he said americans need to be on the same team and that the russian president vladimir putin is not on our team. the president also said he underestimated how much of an impact cyber attacks could have on our society. a man caught on camera opening fire at the ft. lauderdale airport friday in court today. ahead, what we've learned about his past, the voices he claims to have heard in his head and what happens next. what are you doing? getting your quarter back. fountains don't earn interest, david. you know i work at ally. i was being romantic. you know what i find romantic? a robust annual percentage yield that's what i find romantic. this is literally throwing your money away.
