it's a ban. >> melissa: thanks to all three of you. we appreciate you hanging out with us. it was jam packed. i'm melissa francis. right now is shepard smith. >> shepard: trump's wiretapping claim is not true. that is the conclusion today of republican and democratic lawmakers that came together this afternoon to knock down president trump's claim that his predecessor spied on him. >> i don't think there was an actual tap of trump tower. to date, i see no evidence that supports the claim that president trump made that his predecessor had wire taped his and his associates at trump tower. we've seen no basis for that whatsoever. >> shepard: but the questioning will go on. the two say they plan to ask james comey what if anything he knows. we're also watching a hearing underway now about russia's influence on our election. in addition, a sex scandal

rocking the u.s. navy. the feds accusing officers of partying with prostitutes and spending millions of your taxpayer dollars. dozens of admirals caught up. and lonely and need buddies? a company is offering you fake friends that looks like they're partying with you so you can get pictures to post online. seriously? let's get to it. >> they do not believe what the president said is true. the top republican and the top democrat on the house intelligence committee have formed a united front against president trump's unsubstantiated claim that president obama tapped the phones at trump tower during the election. devin nunes and adam schiff have said they see nothing to support the president's assertion.

>> don't have any evidence that that took place. i don't believe in the last week of time that the people we talked to, don't think there was an actual tap of trump tower. >> to date, i see no evidence supports the claim that president trump made that his predecessor had wiretapped his and his associates at trump tower. we see no basis for that whatsoever. >> congressmen schiff and nunes have extended the deadline to provide any evidence the justice department might have. the doj has until monday of next week. a spokesman for chairman nunes says if the justice department fails to meet the deadline, the house intelligence committee may take legal action. the justice department asked for more time to ask for evidence to back the president's accusation, if there is any. president obama and james clapper have already said that president obama did nothing of the sort. a senior law enforcement seniors tells fox news that fbi comey

denies the accusation and the agency has asked the department of justice to publicly correct president trump. that hasn't happened. director comey has never denied the president's accusations. republicans and democrats in the senate have demanded that he say whether the fbi's investigating ties between camp trump and russia. today director comey is expected to hold a closed-door briefing with members of the senate judiciary committee. one of the subcommittees is holding a hearing on russia and their efforts to undermine democracies around the globe. two of the committee's highest profile members, lindsey graham and sheldon white house have written a letter to director comey asking if there's any ed that the feds obtained a warrant against trump campaign. senator graham told cnn the senate may take legal action if the senate doesn't clarify the matter. >> i want to get to the bottom of it. the fbi would know if there was

a warrant issued or applied for. i want to answer that question. if they do not provide the answer to that letter that we write in a bipartisan fashion, there will be a bipartisan subpoena following the fbi. >> a bipartisan subpoena. senate er graham says he has no idea if they would clarify the matter today. again, there's no evidence of any kind that former president obama wiretapped trump tower or anyone else. there never has been evidence. if the president was wrong, will or should he apologize? tell the public why he made such an outrageous claim? catherine herridge is life in washington. what are we learning about the investigation into this claim of wiretapping? >> shep, the republican chairman of the house intelligence committee says this is based on statements made the last week. this is based on current information. >> president obama doesn't do wiretapping like president trump

can't. so the premise of the statement was wrong. you have to figure out, did he actually mean it literally or did he not? that's the question that we have here. >> they've been all over the p map. the reality is, they don't know what he's talking about. >> the white house said the president's tweets shouldn't be taken literally and he made broad surveillance, shep. >> shepard: what the more are we learning about director comey and the fbi investigation? >> dianne feinstein said a meeting with director comey is tentative at this point. lindsey graham and sheldon whitehouse who are holding a hearing this hour on russia's interference in the u.s. election said they might get an answer from the fbi director as early as today. the back and forth over the fbi director appears to be part of a

turf war between the house and the senate. the senators want answers before the 20th because the senate hates being in the dark when house lawmakers are getting answers. what we know for sure, fbi director comey and mike rogers from the nsa whose agency does surveillance have agreed to testify next week on the russia investigation and three former obama administration officials are tentatively scheduled on march 28. >> shepard: catherine, when russians are surveilled, like the russian ambassador, they listen to his calls all the time. this is well-known. if you do that, if he's on the phone with somebody in the united states, there's a chance that americans can get caught up in this intelligence gathering. the house committee leaders say they're worried about leaks of whatever they might find out. >> so the congressmen want more information on whether intelligence collection on russian targets in this case ensnared americans that have special protections under the law to shield their name.

>> what i remain concerned about is whether or not there is additional collection that we're not aware of. if any of that information was put into any types of intelligence reports and then whether or not additional names were unmasked. >> i think it's an appropriate part of our oversight to make sure the agencies are following the correct procedures when it comes to unmasking any names of americans that may be gathered through incidental collection. >> here's one that matters. happens when a foreign target like the russian ambassador there on the right is tracked and the phone calls and text messages of an american are picked up. based on our reporting here at fox, we believe the former national security advisor mike flynn was flagged in this way. the committee wants to know if there were in fact other americans and specific to this case, whether they were tied to the trump campaign, shep. >> shepard: catherine herridge, thanks. >> you're welcome. >> shepard: let's bring in a.b.

stoddard from real clear politics. this is an old and tired line of discussion. the only reason it's old and tired is because no one will say anything else. all we have is this. the current president of the united states accused the former president of the united states of committing a crime. won't say anything else about it. has produced no evidence to support it. everyone in his party is aban n abandoning him on the matter. the guy in charge is like i got nothing. what is the point here? to try to prove what the president said is wrong or if you're a republican to say what you say is taken as a policy of the united states and you can't make stuff up? >> the push-back from chairman nunes who was part of trump transition, a big trump ally, very supportive of him, is sending a real message through his spokesman saying we might

take action, demanding this evidence saying he can't take another corner like this that the president might jam republicans into. each time the president says things that aren't true, makes it harder for lawmakers on capitol hill. shep, you know if you've cover capitol hill, there's no escaping reporters. you leave the elevator, a committee room, anywhere, you're confronted by what the president of your party said. so what you're seeing from these bipartisan efforts, senator graham with senator sheldon whitehouse, senator grassley, senator feinstein and congressman nunes and congressman schiff showing that the congress will exercise their oversight role and look at the executive branch and that signal from nunes that something must have been interpreted by the president is a way of saying we can't have these kind of wild

allegations anymore. >> shepard: if you're the president and you don't like to admit you're wrong, is there a way out of this? >> well, president trump doesn't said he's sorry. he's apologized once and that was for the access hollywood tape. he apologized to his family and he said he regretted that. other than that, he doesn't apologize. he doubles down. he doesn't take things back. i don't think we'll expect to see him apologizing to president obama. what you'll see is sort of a muddying of the waters. he will use -- he and his staff will use that language about incidental wiretaps or surveillance that chairman nunes used. obviously there was wiretapping in transcripts of general flynn and that ultimately through for other reasons led for him being fired. he lied to the vice president about it. in his conversation with the russian ambassador, he was recorded. so i think what you'll see is an attempt to muck up the message and confuse these two issues which is what sean spicer has had to do at the white house

briefing room. i think that's what president trump, if he's cornered on this issue, even though he's been dodging the press, will probably do himself. if he has any kind of apology for president obama, everyone including his fiercest supporters will be taken aback. >> have you heard one member of his party defend his statement? not one. >> no. what they do is they do this -- what chairman nunes tried to do, to say you can't take him literally. i think obviously chairman nunes is a very respected member on capitol hill. chairman of the house intelligence committee. if you're lecturing the media about not taking the commander-in-chief's words literally, you have a problem. so they deflect. you can't really take things seriously from the leader of the free world. that's not getting them far. >> shepard: thanks, a.b. good to see you. president trump is blasting msnbc for reporting his tax

returns. reporter says he doesn't work for msnbc but somewhere else. he said it's possible the president sent them. after all, it does help the president. what the returns reveal and whether anybody broke the law. that's coming up on the fox news deck on this wednesday afternoon. you need one of these. you wouldn't put up with an umbrella that covers you part way, so when it comes to pain relievers, why put up with just part of a day? aleve, live whole not part. tell you what, i'll give it to you for half off.

>> shepard: president trump is ripping into the journalist that released his tax returns.

not really his tax returns. just a little bit from 2005. and he tells fox news the leak was illegal. that journalist suggesting that the president or somebody in his circle might have actually been the source. all of that in a bit. first, the documents show that in 2005, president trump made $153 million. reported a business loss of $103 million that year. they show that he paid about $38 million in federal taxes. though the bulk of that was because of the alternative minimum tax. otherwise, he would have paid 5%. the alternative minimum tax is designed to keep high income earners to pay minimal taxes. the president has promised to eliminate the minimum income tax. we're saying two pages, not much in the way of details. we don't know how the president made his money, to whom he might owe. the president has to date refused to release any of his tax returns.

none of the last ten years, which might put to rest lingering questions about his business ties to russians or anyone else. we might know whether or not up trump is beholden to any government because of money. this answers none of that. it begs the question, who leaked this? the man that reported the information or rachel maddows's show on msnbc said the documents were in his mailbox. he said there's a chance that somebody close to donald trump was behind it or maybe even the president himself. after all, the president has acted as his own p.r. agent in the past. he later said he believes the president is probably not the source due to the way the trump administration is reacting to the news. the president tweeted does anybody believe that a reporter that know nobody ever heard of went to his mailbox and found my

tax return? nbc news, fake news. donald trump knows him. the reporter says he's known him for years. chief white house correspondent john roberts pushed back on the information -- i mean, rachel is tweeting about it. the white house is responding to it. i've never seen anything like that before, john. >> yes, they had this information readily in hand, which is adding to the theory that the white house knows something about it before it came down last night. the white house said the president calling this fake news. you can argue what the value of this is news-wise and what kind of impact it has on the president, it's not fake. the white house confirmed that the tax returns are authentic. even though this plays well for the white house, the president is professing outrage over it. listen to what he told tucker carlson a short time ago. >> i have no idea where they got it but it's illegal. it's not supposed to be leaked. it's certainly not an

embarrassing tax return at all. but it's an illegal thing. they've been doing it, they've done it before and it's a disgrace. >> the president paid $5 million in regular income taxes, but $31 million in the so-called alternative minimum tax. the amt is a parallel tax that has targeted higher income earners, limits the amount of deductions they take. here's something interesting, shep. we talked to a noted accountant who told us this. that when you're a developer, the alternative minimum tax is an interesting application. you're taxed on a percentage of completion. so you can pay an enormous amount of alternative minimum tax. when your project is developed and sold, you can get a lot if not all of that money back. so it's possible if you're a developer to pay $31 million in alternative minimum tax one year and two or three years down the

road get that all back. so it's sort of curious as to why this particular tax release from 2005 was released that shows an enormous amount of alternative minimum tax being paid. you mentioned this at the top. the president campaigned on a pledge to get rid of the alternative minimum tax. his new tax reform taxes would limit the amount of deductions that a high income earner like himself would take. >> this is another call for the president to release his tax returns. the question is what are you hiding? why not release them? everybody else has done it. >> democrats have been calling him for him to release his tax returns. some republicans will as well. the calls were released today. if the white house can confirm the contents of a 2005 return, why can't he release more? the president says they're under audit. here's what amy said and how she put it, shep.

>> for me, they were just merely a little, as we say, a cocktail appetizer. it was a tiny, tiny piece of what we want to see. >> it's just a little cocktail weeny of what they want to see. they want the whole sausage. >> shepard: and two russians are facing charges in an enormous data breach at yahoo. our next guest says it's impossible to defend against an attacker like a foreign government. the russians attacked us again. that's next. ♪ we asked people to write down the things they love to do most on these balloons. travel with my daughter. roller derby.

>> shepard: the president's travel ban amounts to a muslim ban and it will hurt americans and state's economies if it's upheld. that's the claim in hawaii where a hearing on the matter is about to get underway. the state attorney general is trying to block the new travel ban just hours before it is set to go in effect at midnight. a federal judge is hearing arguments that the immigration order would hurt muslims, foreign students and hurt tourism in hawaii. it's one of three hearings today on this executive order. another one set for 5:00 eastern time in washington state with the same federal judge who blocked the original immigration order. the attorney, the attorney general there argues the new revised version is still unconstitutional. government lawyers say they may change it to address legal concerns and they encyst the order does not single out muslims.

more than a dozen states are supporting the legal fight against new travel ban. a judge in maryland today held a hearing earlier. he said that he will try to rule by the end of this day. for the first time russian government officials are facing charges of hacking and other cyber crimes inside the united states. that's never happened. the justice department announced charges today against two russian spies and two criminal hackers. the accused spies are members of the russian intelligence agency. i should say the fsb, which used to be called the kgb. the feds accused the russian agents of coordinates with other criminals to hack about 500 million yahoo user accounts. this happened in 2014. art of the largest hacking case the united states has ever brought against anyone. prosecutors say foreign governments will not get away with hacking americans. >> we will not allow individuals, groups, nation states or a combination of them

to compromise the privacy of our citizens, the commission interests of our companies or the security of our country. >> the feds say the charges are not related to the hacking of democratic national committee or the fed's investigation of russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign. that is separate. today's announcement may show the government's need accountable for cyber crimes as more american citizens are being targeted by foreign governments. let's bring in alex who advises customers on hacking in more than 25 country. i know we can't fully protect ourselves. if somebody will bust in on our accounts, they have to pay. >> it will be interesting to see the reaction here. it will be a political response. that certainly is outside my area of expertise. as far as the technical response, there will be a lot of

things being done differently in the future. >> seems like every other person is hacking. >> it feels that way. if you turn on the tv, open the newspaper, you're seeing the hacks. just keep -- there's a lot of people out there working very hard to keep us safe. you know, even though they're seeing the hacks, the electricity is still on and commerce is still being performed. >> because they want it on and commerce to be performed. if they wanted to shut down the electricity, the government said they could. >> that's something that we've heard. the truth of the matter is, there's lots of things that governments could do to us and don't for various reasons. they don't want to start a war. so the capability may be there. but if it is, there's reasons they're not doing it. >> shepard: how long has russia been doing this sort of thing and to what degree have we been ignoring it till now? >> as far as ignoring it, we have to separate what governments are doing and

criminals in a country are doing. we've seen quite a few attacks from other places in the world. lately we have seen an uptick from russia. as long as the internet is there, people are breaking in. >> it wasn't just some random russian. they were spies working for on behalf of the russian government and they paid for the hacks on our accounts. >> that's a very large accusation. interesting to see how that plays out. we haven't seen that before publicly. certainly would be a new way of operating. >> it will be interesting to find out what the motivation was. do you have a sense for that? >> it's tough. you have to wonder. you hear about the other yahoo hacks and some government involvement there. i don't want to speculate there but it's getting as much information and using it on people. >> shepard: you advise companies on how to protect themselves from the hackers. what is the first lesson that a company or private account

holder ought to know? >> the first lesson is to figure out how much risk you're willing to take on. you can get things secure but they're hard to use. they're not friendly to operations and commerce. first of all, understanding the threat. a lot of common sense things that people aren't doing. simple things that might slow things down but might get things more secure. >> good to talk to you. alex hammer stone live with us. >> thanks very much. >> shepard: hookers, booze and pricy hotels. some of the things the feds say the united states navy took as bribes in exchange for inside information. ahead, the latest on the biggest corruption scanndal in u.s. nav history. what's the best way to get

>> shepard: breaking news now on fox news channel. director comey on capitol hill. we've been expecting him to meet with senators to discuss investigation into russia's interference in u.s. presidential election. a live look at the senate side of the capitol. outside where we're told a meeting may take place. joining us on the phone, our senior capitol hill producer. the point is, we can't confirm this meeting is happening because they continue confirm it's happening but it's happening, right? >> that's right. there's a lot of demand here in particular a group of four senators, the chair of the judiciary is committee, chuck grassly, dianne feinstein from california and two other senators looking at russian interference in democratic elections. lindsey graham of south carolina and sheldon whitehouse of rhode island. this meeting appears to have been thrown together quickly.

i talked to dianne feinstein and she was unclear whether or not it's happening. she said we have to be very careful as we address this because there might be a criminal investigation. only certain types of things we can talk about. that's one of the questions that people are looking at here. whether or not there's an active criminal investigation into the potential of hacks and also wiretaps and so forth. another thing that they're looking at is their -- the incidental capture of communication in some form. the chair of the house intelligence committee, devin nunes, said earlier today, there was no evidence of a wiretap. what happened, shep, they put out these bread -- they call them fisa warrants. that's an abbreviation for the courts that have high levels to listen to phone calls and soth to. were they incidentally picking up this information when they were listening to other people?

that's the question. >> shepard: chad, appreciate it. should there be any news there, we'll take you there right away. the fed is hiking interest rates. didn't so today. could affect how much we pay on credit cards and loans, including certain mortgages. the rate was 0.75%. now the fed just announced it's 1%. historically ridiculously low. the fed does this to keep inflation under control, keep the economy stable. take a look at the dow's reaction. you might think oh, raise the rates, the dow will go down. this was factored in. look at 2:00 when it happened. see that right there? skyrocketed. i don't know if they're connected, but that's what happened. i didn't connect the dots. she made the announcement and that's what the dow did. we were hovering in that level and now we're stratosphere rick. gerri willis is here. who are the winners and losers? >> here's the thing.

used to be it would sell off with this kind of news. not anymore. investors are saying the federal reserve is saying that the economy is expanding. she believes and we do too. if you want to know who the losers are, if you have a credit card, you owe a lot of money, you're a loser. wallet hub says that those credit cards will have an extra 1.6 billion in finance charges because of this move over the course of a year. we'll probably get two more. >> shepard: a little more money for a cd these days? >> yeah. let me finish the losers. there's a lot of them. home equity loans, those are variable rate debts. auto loans, not so much. there's so much competition there. they have to company it samy samy. mortgage rates have popped a 1/10 percent.

we'll have more rate hikes. when you talk about winners, remember retirees? people that want to save money. probably trying to do it a long time. these folks will get a break here. cds, interest-bearing accounts, may pop a little bit. money market accounts. hopefully this means lower inflation. >> shepard: that would be nice. gerri, great to see you. >> good to see you. >> shepard: some many reasons are accused to go to a wild hotel party with a carousel of prostitutes. that's a quote. and they also drank the hotel's pool supply of don perignon. all of that a bribery case has plagued the navy for years now. nine officials have been charged for taking bribes from a defense contractor known as fat leonard.

in exchange, prosecutors say they provided him with classified information that defense contractor has pleaded guilty to using that information to defraud the u.s. navy of tens of millions of dollars. prosecutors say navy officials took bribes, took bribes including $25,000 watches, $2,000 boxes of cigars, luxury hotel rooms and prostitutes. jennifer griffin is at the pentagon. what more can you tell us about fat leonard? >> shep, you can't make this up. he's lured to san diego and arrested 3 1/2 years ago. this case has been unfolding for years. tuesday, federal agents fanned out across six states to arrest eight naval officers charged in the growing bribery scandal. it's the largest in navy history. navy officers that were assigned to the pacific seventh fleet allegedly shared with leonard glen francis, a 6'3", 350-point

lead contractor based in singapore steered multimillion contracts to him in exchange for prostitutes and gifts. the costs were passed off to the u.s. taxpayer and the u.s. navy. >> shepard: i was surprised to read, this scandal -- the indictment reaches to the top. >> one of those charged was the top naval intelligence officer here in the pentagon. bruce lovelace was arrested at his home in coronado california tuesday. his security clearance had been suspended since 2013. a source of embarrassment for the top official who for years was unable to interview classified material and yet remained on the job. according to the charge sheet, officers on the u.s.s. blueridge attended a party hosted by fat leonard at the shangri la hotel

in manila. roughly 30 admirals are under investigation and hundreds could face indictment. >> shepard: jennifer griffin, thank you. ahead more on president trump's tax returns such as it was including a natural -- analysis from john bussey. and forecasters knew it wouldn't be so bad for the big cities. they knew it and didn't tell us. now we're getting an explanation kind of. it's next. liberty mutual stood with me when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night, so he got home safe. yeah, my dad says our insurance doesn't have that. what?! you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance.

come close, come close. ah. when your pain reliever stops working, your whole day stops. awww. try this. for minor arthritis pain, only aleve is fda approved to work for up to 12 straight hours with just one pill. thank you. come on everybody. aleve. live whole. not part. check this sunday's newspaper and save over $20 on products from aleve. this is judy. judy is 63 years old. her mortgage payment is $728 a month. that's almost 9 thousand dollars a year. now judy doesn't think that she'll be able to retire until her mortgage is fully paid off. this is mike. mike is also 63 years old.

his mortgage payment was $728 a month. mike thought he would have to work for another 12 years until his mortgage was paid off... and then mike heard about a reverse mortgage and how that might help him. he called one reverse mortgage to get the details. mike retired immediately after getting his one reverse mortgage loan. maybe you too can benefit from a reverse mortgage. call one reverse mortgage now and find out if you qualify. they'll send you an information kit that includes all the details and the stories of mike and others. a reverse mortgage... is a mortgage with no required monthly payments. it was created for homeowners 62 or older so they can continue to afford and own the home they love. many one reverse mortgage clients find they can retire sooner, do more the things they love, or simply put more money

in the bank. a reverse mortgage could change your retirement, and your life. i examined my finances and i said, there is no reason why i shouldn't retire today. 10, 12 years earlier than i had anticipated. in the first year, mike's cash flow savings totaled $8,736. after 5 years, it will be over $40,000. it really is worth a call to find out if a reverse mortgage can help you too. call one reverse mortgage now and ask for your free information kit. >> shepard: two days ago at this hour, i was reporting the national weather service was predicting new york city was about to get two feet of snow. turns out that wasn't their prediction and they kept the information from the public. feds now admit they knew the

nor'easter could be a bust but did not change the public forecast. by monday, one forecast model showed the freezing rain and snow line had shifted. the storm was tracking close to the coast, which would pull warm atlantic air over the big cities and the big cities wouldn't get the brunt of the storm. the inland area would. they held a conference call, agreed that the storm was going inland, but didn't report it. their predictions didn't budge. why did they mislead us and you? forecasters say they didn't want to confuse the public. point of fact, the people paid a salary of everybody involved at the national weather service. they pay for up-to-date and accurate assessments of what is happening. when you change the forecast and you don't tell us, you're misinforming us. you're telling us you believe one thing when you believe another. in short, if the national weather service knew one thing was predicted but told us something else, the national

weather service lied to us. that's wrong. the weather system itself is massive and deadly. at least three people died in storm-related crashes. close to 250,000 people lost power at one point or another in the mideast and atlantic and airlines cancelled 9,000 flights. most of the big snow totals came at the higher elevations. coming up here, burlington international in vermont, it got just shy of 30 inches. that's the third highest since they started keeping records. the storm stretched from florida to maine. we have images, this guy in new york, neck deep and shovelling out his car. this is boston. folks in massachusetts dealt with gusts up to 70 miles an hour. plenty of wind in yonkers new york as well. somebody trying to clear out snow in a public school.

here's newark airport, or the moon. one or the other. sea of life there. this is times square in new york city. the snow pulled up after the plows come through. more on what we learned about president trump's income tax returns. what we still don't know even. we go to john bussey from the "wall street journal." we didn't learn much at all except that he paid 25% in taxes. >> he made $153 million, paid $38 million in taxes. those are numbers that donald trump is happy are out there. shows him paying a big tax bill. but richard grubin points out that is pretty much the data and doesn't go much further than that, which means the controversy over his relations with russia, bank debt that he might have, the details of his

taxes are still under known. so the controversy around donald trump's taxes, even though this is a pretty bit of good news for him, and he kind of front-ran the release of it on air last night to television stations, they front ran it, put the information out there and put their own spin on it from the white house shows he's willing to release some of his information. why not the rest of his taxes? the democrats say come clean and show us the details. not just the top line numbers. >> shepard: it's not just the democrats. some republicans want to know as well. >> that's right. >> shepard: we've always wanted to know. >> shepard: that's right. there's moves now to require candidates to release the last three years of their tax returns for this reason. we don't really see the details. one thing we do know is that the taxes were paid on the alternative minimum tax, which is designed for rich people so they don't get away with paying no taxes. that is a piece of the tax code

that donald trump wishes to abolish. which would benefit wealthy taxpayers like himself. >> shepard: there's a pattern there. this healthcare repeal and replace, that benefits the wealthiest americans in an enormous way. >> yeah, that is a separate issue. you're right. an element, a tax on financial transactions would go away or be diminished. so here too, it looks like from a policy standpoint, he's talking his own book. but he would be wise to keep these numbers out there because it shows him paying some taxes. there's so many questions about even this tax. these couple pages from the tax form. how did they get out there? were they released by somebody that was favorable to donald trump, the reporter david k. johnson that received the forms, former "new york times" reporter that covered the tax business

suggested maybe they came from somebody in the white house or from donald trump. who knows. are they a trend line? is that what it is for donald trump's tax payments over the years? >> shepard: if that was a trend line, we would have seen him. >> these are all questions and uncertainties that bedevil this issue for donald trump. >> shepard: they do. thanks, john. money won't buy you love but it can cover cost of fake friends. ahead, the companies offering to hook you up with strangers, pretty ones, that you can post pics on social media and be really cool.
