1:00 pm
on xm radio. you might enjoy that as well. we are back here next sunday. see you then with the latest buzz. the claim that president obama wiretapped hello everyone. welcome to america's news headquarters. tapping the news it is our this hour the reaction is printed from washington. plus the new call from the white house. >> there is also a new reaction to the controversy surrounding jeff sessions who recused himself from any potential investigation into contact with russia. and coalition forces fighting their toughest fight yet.
1:01 pm
they push further into the heart . see mac with the investigation of the reported contacts between the trump campaign officials and the russians and if trump tower was targeted by the government as president trump has charged the white house. now calling for a new congressional investigation into the president's claim that the obama administration wiretapped him. the president is getting ready as you can see there in west palm beach to have back to the white house and air force one. mister trump causing a firestorm by accusing his predecessor of wiretapping trump tower but he offered no evidence to support those bombshell claims and he is also facing some pushback to explain the tweets including some from members of his own party.
1:02 pm
the president is just wrapping up a pretty busy and controversial and pretty intense weekend. >> i will say that is a fair assessment. here is a deal. the republican chairman of the house intelligence committee has agreed to the white house's request. he will investigate these acquisitions. even though the white house and get to provide any hard evidence to back up the claims from president trump. here is the white house deputy secretary. this morning on abc this week. let's get the truth here. let's find out. i think the bigger story isn't who reported it but is it true. and i think the american people have the right to know if this happened because if it did again this is a largest
1:03 pm
abuse of power that i think we have ever seen. as air force one takes off at the same time you have his predecessor the former president barack obama denying this. he said neither of them ordered the wiretapping trump towers. perhaps they had been requested by the fbi. there was definitely some wiggle room there but that today the former director of national intelligence in the obama administration tried to blame that door and if that have happened he would have known about it. there was no such wiretapped activity mounted against the president elect at the time or as a candidate or against his campaign. i'm not sure if you can see it. there is air force one. taking off right there. it's a bilious site for all of
1:04 pm
the locals here in west palm beach. a lot of them they really caught a lot of lawmakers by surprise. the republicans into democrats. they are accusing this to be a diversionary tactic. even some republicans say they have no idea where this information is coming. i have seen no evidence of the allegations we have seen in the media. whether that is a potential core application or a denial of the application or resubmission of an application. it doesn't mean that none of these things happened. i've never heard that allegation made before by anybody. again the president put that out there and now the white house well had to insert exact exactly to what he was referring to. there you have the republican senator is saying that you will have to answer for it but today press press secretary sean spicer said the white house well not be commenting
1:05 pm
on this matter any further until the congressional committees look into this. >> we have full coverage of this controversy over the next three hours here in the fox news channel. heading back to enders. it's bring in and now david hocking. so president trump is calling for congressional probe into possible while -- wiretapping and you some republicans saying they don't know where the president is getting this information where you reporting behind that. we don't know what is motivating the president but what i do know because i cover congress is that i think the president is potentially making a high risk move here by inviting and asking congress to do this. these intelligence committees are unlike most other
1:06 pm
committees in congress where the majority party has total control over these investigations. they can have the subpoena power. that is not the case with these intelligence committees. on the intelligence committees they had equal standing to the republicans so that the president is asking these intelligence committees to investigate this he is inviting truly in my need the democrats to look at this as much as a republicans and if it turns out that is unfounded or fabricated or any of those not true words the president hasn't bought himself a world of hurt. today on meet the press the national intelligence activity that he oversaw produced no evidence in getting back to this. what would they be looking for also would congress need evidence to launch an
1:07 pm
investigation. this is all this is a distraction from that maybe the president is trying to distract the country from the ties to russia. the two are connected. if the president and his campaign was being wiretapped that would be why it was being wiretapped. presumably some of the law enforcement agency was looking into his ties to russia. no congress does not need that. and it can there is no way to the democrats as i say have the power you call his
1:08 pm
wiretapping claims ridiculous and saying that the white house is saying it's not saying anything else until congress investigates. why does there seem to be a ball of confusion it seems as though there is a pattern here where soon after the president's does not get a story that he likes he tends to tweet something out and does tend to shift all of our attention. this has is been a pattern from the campaign and onto the first five or six weeks.
1:09 pm
this is a serious one. it takes it to a new level. obviously what were all thinking of the press court is what is the president's base get worried about him. or do they get angry with him. when they get angry at their city councilman or their pastor or their shop steward or their spouse. or their children's teachers of anybody else that they trusted said something that turned out not to be true would he lose their trust. what kind of week can we expect on capitol hill. i think the republicans are going to be compelled to think pretty seriously about how they want to handle it.
1:10 pm
they continue to be a side card by these other issues. they will spend other time talk about this about the tax overhaul. about any of the other 456 things. that seems like a long time ago. here is a new president was acting like a new president and getting congress to set up and say here comes the agenda and the serious a bit. it doesn't seem like will be talking about that again this week. the betterment of the country for them. we will continue to watch as it unfolds and we will follow it. jeff sessions tamara set to clarify those comments. about meeting with russians. he will amend the senate
1:11 pm
testimony. this after he dined with the president at merrill lago. the show of support by the president for his embattled attorney general. they would recuse himself from the brush and hacking investigation. we are live in washington on what you can expect. we are live in washington on what you can expect. despite the recusal some democrats say that is not enough and then a special counsel to be appointed to have this investigation. in his work on the foreign relations committee he seen no evidence between the trump team in russia but he went on to say the revelations that they failed to disclose raises more questions of the need to be answered. i have no hard evidence of
1:12 pm
collusion. i think what hard evidence they may be would be discovered through a full release of the financial interests and concerns in taxes or the intercepts that i believe our intelligence community and fbi head of conversation between and among russian officials. that's one thing it's important to get to the bottom of this. just before that though. tom cotton told chris wallace that appointed a special counsel would only delay the investigation and that if they really wanted to get to the bottom of the tempering efforts they should let the committees in the house and senate along with the fbi to complete the investigation that is already happening. the work is underway. we have the staff with the appropriate clearances. with the infrastructure. we've made the decisions and agreements if you started over with a new commission or new committee that could take
1:13 pm
months. if we conduct -- conduct a review. it has not given any indication. in fact there are reports that he recuse himself in the first place. tomorrow as you mentioned would deliver the amended testimony regarding his contacts with russian officials during the campaign. and even those suggestions of a possible 911 commission we will see how this all goes. two house committees plane to begin voting on legislation to repeal obama care this week but the blueprints are still up in the air. as some republicans complained the new plan has been kept so secret they haven't seen it yet. we are in washington with more.
1:14 pm
the leaders are now aiming to give president trump healthcare bill by a certain but first congressional republicans need to settle their disagreement on how the repeal and replace it should work and what's in the bill. he needs at least 216 votes. they should be able to review the bill as it was drafted. we are unified for repeal we are not so unified on replacement. let's vote on a couple of different ones. if they force us to have big government replacement kind of bills. they believe that if there's too many cooks in the kitchen it could fail. once it is finished it will have to sessions in the ways
1:15 pm
and means committee. is that meeting in the middle. if we don't get it at the aftermarket. i think were getting a little bit ahead of ourselves in terms of pushing for a full drop of a bill that have not been created at the committee level yet. many of the congressional level by giving members only one option on a final health care bill leadership may force republicans to vote for whatever legislation they come up with. well had so much more on obama care over the next years. rand paul shares his thoughts on republican efforts to repeal and replace the law. they are searching the wreckage of a syrian warplane
