washington is consumed by a russian "house of cards" style drama. intelligence chairman devin nunes planning to continue leading his committee's investigation into the trump campaign and the russian government. is his future becomes a hot topic on capitol hill. >> i don't trust him. i think he is a very nice man. i think he is frankly over his head. i think he uses very poor judgment. >> i have great confidence in devin nunes. i think you can count on his integrity. before the press, if he makes a mistake, he says, i should have done something different. >> it is time for devin nunes to leave this investigation, let alone lead it. he should be gone. >> should devin nunes recuse himself from the russian investigation? >> no one knows. >> martha: for now, chairman nunes says he is going nowhere, and perhaps more importantly, he will not reveal his sources. >> why not recuse yourself from

this investigation? >> i still don't know why. if you gave me a reason to recuse myself, i might consider. >> will you share your sources at all? >> i would never reveal sources and methods. >> even to other members of the committee? >> never. >> martha: the trump administration facing an onslaught of questions over whether they are meddling in its congressional investigation, following reports of the white house tried to block a former obama administration from testifying before congress. catherine herridge picks up the reporting for us from washington tonight. catherine. prayed to speak in the former deputy attorney general sally yates is not a household name, but it was alleged the white house tried to block her and her testimony. the former national security advisor mike flynn, who reside in over his russia context. she was a one or two of the white house in january that there was a conflict between what the white house said in the transcript that showed flynn's sanctions with russian ambassador. today, the white house spokesman said they didn't respond to letters from yates' lawyer

because of the administration had no objections. >> "the washington post" should be ashamed of how it handled this story. it was 100% false. the letters that were published back up exactly what we sing. we have no objection going forward. that's it. >> martha: >> chuck grassley ses letter pressing the fbi -- james comey, who critics say had a conflict of the clinton email case because his wife received $705,000 from democrats. while the fbi said there was no conflict, senator grassley wants to know if he is deeply involved in the russia probe, the trump team, whether he requested physical surveillance, monitoring, or administrating subpoenas, known as national security letters, to gather information for you >> martha: thank you very much. joining us now, mollie hemingway, fox news contributor and senior editor for the follower federalist.

william mcgurn, and matt bennett, former deputy assistant to president bill clinton. welcome to all of you. good to have you here this evening for evening. mollie, let me start with you. these calls also from walter jones, the first republican in the house to say that he believes that devin nunes should step down. what do you think? >> you have not just had him, but a few others who are known for having a lot of belief and faith and intelligence agencies and are not so concerned about civil liberties. what we have here is a big story about intelligence agencies capturing information on private american citizens and widely disseminating it. that is a huge scandal and one that we need to get to the bottom off. we have only begun to get some information as it is something that needs to keep going. it is not that surprising that certain people who are really cozy with intelligence agencies are nervous about devin nunes being right over target as he is now. >> martha: interesting. bill, in terms of this hearing that was scheduled, now, nunes

said it was never officially scheduled, but sally yates was supposed to testify along with clapper and brennan come off from the obama administration. that one is not happening. fbi director comey, they will bring him back as well as the director of the nsa. a lot being made that this hearing what the yates was canceled or postponed or something. is it a big deal? >> i don't think that's a big deal. what we have to go back to, the substance. what we have our three narratives narratives about the russians. one narrative is the democratic narrative, that trump people colluded with the russians to influence the election. at the ranking member on the intelligence committee, adam schiff, has made that claim, saying there is more than circumstantial evidence, without giving evidence. yet, there is no attacks on him for doing it. there is the president trump claim, which he put in the famous tweet, saying that his predecessor had ordered wiretaps on trump tower.

chairman nunes says that is not true. then, the third claim, much more modest, which devin nunes says, he has read documents, discussing the intelligence, and which these names are revealed. they may have been caught up incidentally and surveillance. if that is a question, i think mollie is right. why is no one interested in the substance? they are savaging the chairman. he shouldn't have got to the white house the way he did. he didn't help his case that way. but no one is talking about congressman schiff -- >> martha: the substance of it it. >> congressman schiff wants an independent counsel, an independent commission, like an independent counsel, a fog over the trump administration for four years. >> martha: matt, let me ask you that. are you concerned about the possibility that people were being surveilled by united states intelligence agencies in an incoming presidential administration? does that bother you and do you want to get to the bottom of

that? >> of course it would bother me if it were true. >> martha: how do you know it's not true? >> we don't know anything because chairman nunes won't tell us what he has or where he got it. everything about this is backwards. this is the chairman of an oversight committee going to the subject of the oversight to tell them what he has found, to get information, then, reported back. we don't understand why he did that. we don't understand why, unlike his predecessors, he didn't share the information with other members of the committee, including the ranking member. >> martha: you are acknowledging that if the underlying is true, that is troublesome. and it is worth investigating. correct? >> martha, remember what we know so far is that it is possible that some of these folks were picked up on wiretaps of other people, that is to say, foreign nationals like russians. that is perfectly legitimate, as long as it was done within the

laws. >> chairman nunes did say it looked lawful. one of the things we know is that a felony was committed in leaking general flynn's name out there. we know that. people don't seem interested. a lot of the storm about chairman nunes is just a distraction. people talk about loretta lynch when she met with president clinton. she did not recuse herself. this was the attorney general. she did not recuse yourself from that. i think this is a lot of effort not to get answers. chairman nunes also said that he has seen some reports and he has asked for the document, the backup documents. we won't know until we see this documents whether he is right or wrong. >> martha: mollie, let's go back to the sally yates issue and whether or not she should be allowed to testify. the white house says that they are fine with her testifying. to show g? >> i imagine she will be. i imagine they are fine. a big part of this investigation is about information, how it was

leaked. the only crime that has been alleged regarding any of this, russia or the week campaign, is the unmasking and distribution of the name of mike flynn. that is the only criminal act currently being investigated. sally yates might have information and she was directly involved with the flynn issue. >> martha: was not a bad move? >> it would be bad if it is permanently canceled and they won't get to the bottom of what happen. as nunes has had, he is collecting information, he is aware that the intelligence agencies have been complied fully as if he had with the information. he might just be seeking more information. there is just so much, people are agitated about this. they need to calm down, let these investigations take this natural course, obviously, people are worried about what nunes has found and they probably should be. we just need to let him continue his investigation. >> martha: fascinating stuff. thanks, you guys. good to see you all. stella had on a packed "the first 100 days," democratic defiance after team trump makes good on a promise to get

according to immigration and customs enforcement or i.c.e., 118 cities across the country currently fall under the sanctuary category. new york mayor belle de blasio calls the threat mean-spirited and it says if the doj "wants a fight, we'll see them in court." here are the mayors of chicago and philadelphia. watch. >> we are still going to be and always will be a welcoming city, whether you are an immigrant from poland or pakistan. if you believe in the american dream, we welcome you to the city of chicago. >> we are not going to hold people against their will without charge. that is fourth amendment of the united states constitution. i would hope that attorney general sessions would understand that. >> seattle mayor ed murray said he is willing to lose every penny of federal funding to protect everyone in his community. the u.s. attorney general called the opposition for mayors "disheartening." it should be noted that dozens

of cities and states believe that sheltering illegal immigrants have committed crimes is not an effective way to protect your community. they point to families who have recently lost loved ones at the hands of illegal immigrants, which is why border cities like miami and san diego boast about working hand in hand with i.c.e. and the boarding my jeff sessions is also leading to second thoughts, for example, providence, rho has called us of a sanctuary city bus as it is abiding by federal law and should not lose federal funding. >> martha: thank you for joining us with more, dana loesch, host of "dana" and robert zimmerman, democratic national committee member and strategist. welcome to both of you. great to have you here. robert, i will start with you. it is somewhat surprising to listen to these mayors talk about sticking up for themselve themselves, not defending the law. the federal law is on the books. it says that if you to attain an illegal, you have to love the

federal authorities now. that is the law. >> martha, the premise of this argument is basically this -- this is not a democrat versus republican discretion. the leading law enforcement officials around the country, sheriffs from conservative texas driving with police officers in liberal san francisco, all pointing out that the president trump and attorney general sessions want to do is go to the cities and tell them they will block federal funds that go to police enforcement --dash go >> martha: if they don't do their job. >> police equipment, terrorism surveillance, if they don't turn over individuals who are picked up on traffic tickets, jaywalking, filling out forms, driver's license forms incorrectly, and police our local police, they have got to keep their focus on fighting serious crime. >> martha: traffic tickets and jaywalking? >> this is about people who enter the country illegally, which is breaking the law.

furthermore, all of these mayors and yourself, robert, i don't recall a single point in history where you guys criticized former president obama, who said this exact same thing one year ago. nobody had criticisms when it was obama's law. apparently, now that trump is wanting to enforce it, now everybody has a problem? >> yes, we do. >> what is the reason? >> president obama focused on people committing felonies, serious crimes. president trump is signing an executive order -- >> kate steinle? rockville, maryland? >> exactly right. those are the targets. >> you get your thought out and i will ask you a question. >> thank you, martha. president trump has broadened this order to civil infractions and he is cutting off law enforcement equipment, terrorism surveillance, and police training -- >> martha: i think the point is that there are ramifications. i think what is lost in this debate, there are law abiding

emigrants and perhaps illegal immigrants made communities who deserve to live in a safe place. they want to law enforcement to do their job. they don't want to drunk driving, thieves, who are illegal immigrants in our community. if that is what we are talking about here, don't you want to provide a safe place for these people to live? >> martha, the police departments around the country are saying that president trump's strategy is in fact creating a chilling impact on getting leads from the illegal community on gang violence, on domestic violence, crimes being committed. >> martha: do you think that is true? >> i don't believe that all. i hear the exact opposite. i do, robert. i would love to know how many times -- i know exactly the reality is that this has on border states. you are talking about protecting illegal entry. this is a crime. if you do not want to do the time, you don't to the crime. if you want to receive federal funding, then you need to comply

with federal law. it is very easy to understand all of this. this is our law. it was law under obama, it is law under trump. we need to do something to uphold the law so that we can further reduce the crime rate. we don't have anymore kate steinles. we don't have any more 14-year-olds in the bathroom like we had at rockville, maryland. we don't have any people that were killed at the start of a promising career that we can prevent there were things like this. >> according to the law enforcement, dana, the way to do this is to make sure -- the way we uphold the law is to make sure we have strong leads from the undocumented community, also, strong police protection. >> martha: bottom line, we want to make our communities safe and we don't want people who are here illegally to carry out the crimes that dana just mentioned. i think we all agree on that. thank you, good to have you both here tonight. still ahead, breaking developments from the case that dana just mentioned, the high school rape case out of rockville, maryland.

defense lawyers producing new evidence that they say absolves at least one of the alleged perpetrators. we will show you what it is just coming to light this evening from rockville, maryland. stay tuned for that. plus, president trump doing a 180 from former president barack obama's approach to climate change, as he uses his pen and that big huge a signature if it is to place by the last administration on the back burner. the white house as it will create jobs by doing this. critics say could destroy the planet. senators jim and javier to discuss next. >> perhaps no single regulation threatens our energy workers and companies more than this crushing attack on american industry.

>> we are going to continue to expand energy production and we will also create more jobs and infrastructure, trucking, and manufacturing. this will allow the epa to focus on its primary mission of protecting our air and protecting our water. together, we are going to start a new energy revolution, one that celebrates american production and american soil.

>> martha: that amount of attention today, a big deal, as president donald trump talks about taking a big step in rolling back what he says are burdensome regulations slapped on energy producers in the united states. the president using his first visit to the environmental protection agency to sign an executive order that he says will spark an energy revolution and help fulfill his process of putting coal miners in this country back to work. here now to explain what is in that order and what it means for you, chief national correspondent ed henry. >> martha, the key is this is an absolute 180 from former president barack obama's approach to climate change. at the new executive order rips apart what is known as the clean power plan. this is another campaign promise cap for donald trump because last year, as a candidate, he vowed to revive the coal industry after democrat hillary clinton blurted out she wanted to shut coal plants down and wipe out the job. this order list a short-term ban our new coal mining on federal

lands and starts the process of undoing the whole legal framework on a series of policies the obama administration was using to fight global warming. this president saying such regulations have been crippling the oil and gas industry, as well as coal, while democrats believe it is a giant step backwards. >> come on, fellas. basically, you know what this is? you know what this is, right? you are going back to work. you are going back to work. >> despite all the rhetoric, this order clearly approves of this administration is not serious about protecting jobs or our environment. let's be perfectly clear. this executive order will not bring back the coal industry. donald trump saying otherwise is just not true. it is an insult to the men and women who voted for him. >> the president's move drove the left so badly that cnn commentator van jones actually charged on twitter that mr. trump had signed a "death

warrant for planet earth." the president and his aides scoffed, insisting they can protect the environment and create jobs by finding a better balance on some of those epa regulations. martha prior >> martha: thank you, ed. here now, oklahoma senator jim inhofe, senator, good to see you tonight, there is a lot of very strong rhetoric tonight, as you might imagine. let's put up a headline from the post that is also surfaced. the folks at home can take a look at that. here it comes. "trump puts the planet on a dangerous path, children starting his presidency will ask, how could anyone have done this." are they were to be afraid, senator? >> not at all. people lost track of all this is really all about. clean power plant is what obama tried to do. back in paris, he said he was going to do that. he said he specifically was going to reduce co2 emissions by

27% by 2,030. now, martha, even his own epa said it can't be done. one of the directors that he had put in, lisa jackson of the epa, says even if it could be done, it would not reduce co2 worldwide. on top of that, you got the united states supreme court who is already weighed already weighed in on us and has agreed with us and our president that it is something that would not work, could not work. people are always using their scared statements and are expecting more but nonetheless, it is something that wasn't going to work. >> martha: i watched that moment of the coal miners and a president and i think that is how he won. relating to people like the coal miners in that room. we saw him do it on the campaign trail. we also remember when a coal miner confronted hillary clinton in west virginia, a very revealing moment for her campaign, as well. as a democrat pointed out in ed henry's intro piece, those jobs have to happen.

can they happen, can you bring back coal miners jobs in this country at this stage? >> sure. it's a lot of them, there has been fuel switching and a lot of the generators are now not able to return back over. i would say 80% of it can be revived. keep in mind this has been a war on fossil fuels by president obama and fossil fuels are coal, oil, and gas. it is not just coal. in fact, nuclear is in there, also. he didn't want that. if we are a responsible for 89f the power that is generated to run the machine called america and it is by fossil fuels and nuclear, then, how can you run the machine if you take it all away? >> martha: a lot of people felt that the epa took on almost a legislative quality under president obama and that they

went far beyond being a regulatory group. i want to ask about scott pruitt, the new head of the epa. he did something that has some conservatives unhappy, he basically argued against overturning the 2009 endangerment finding. what is that and what you think about it? >> first of all, the person who is in charge of the epa come at that time, lisa jackson. she did the endangerment finding right before i left for copenhagen to make sure they knew that our administration was lying to them. right before he left, i said kim i have the feeling once i leave town, you will have an endangerment filing. she smiled. if so, it has to be based on science. what signs will you use? she said, the ipcc. martha, it was a matter of days after that that the ipcc was totally discredited through climategate. i think that -- i would disagree, if you made the statement, he thinks we should be protecting -- >> martha: it has to do with

regulating carbon dioxide. i know you think it is a false premise. he felt it would embroil the administration into much legal -- in long, lengthy court battles. we will see where that goes. we will keep an eye on the situation. thank you very much, senator. good to see you tonight. tonight, as critics lash out asking how she could possibly be an advocate for working women, we take a deeper dive into first data or trumps expanded role in side the white house. plus, breaking details at the alleged rape in rockville, maryland. new questions about what happened in the bathroom and the days prior. attorneys david wall and eric oster join us next to the bait. >> she was adamant that she did not want this to happen

>> martha: the president making a bit of news. he is of the white house in the

east room with senators and their spouses. we will have the tape playback in a moment but he is making news on health care, as well as his attitude about politics, which you may find interesting, we will bring you that as soon as that come across. in the meantime, there are new developments and some new questions tonight in a story that has sparked debates and immigration policies across the country. their horrific allegations of the rape of a 14-year-old girl at her high school in rockville, maryland, for the suspects reportedly both illegal immigrants, the father of one of the suspects has not been arrested by i.c.e. for his unlawful entry into the country. we are learning new evidence that one defendant's attorney claims that a previous sexual encounter between the defendant and the alleged victim was consensual. did that matter legally? doug mckelway lie for us in rockville, maryland, with the breaking news. >> and the defense for 17-year-old jose montano, going farther than that, requesting a new bond hearing from the judge, noting in that request, that this is the defendant appears to

be actually innocent and should be released forth with. that is based on a text between the defendant on the 14-year-old accuser of the day before the rape occurred. quoting from a defense motion, "the 14-year-old female accuser texted to montano in which he said, "acknowledge" that she had engaged in sexual activity with the defendant, montano, previously, and ask if he had liked what she had done. second, the complaint agreed in a text conversation the night before the incident to have with the defendant at rockville high school the next day during p/e class. the prosecution made pains that this is not new information. it is not new evidence, that this was all contained in the discovery process that the prosecution handed over. the montgomery county police department is adamant this young girl was indeed rape of the charges against these two illegal immigrant defendants was proper in that they were charge

properly. >> this is -- as she was adamant that that she did not want this to happen at all. i won't get into specific statements but it's very clear from the investigation that there was no consent ms whatsoever. >> and last night, just a few hours after attorney general jeff sessions announced that federal grant money would be withheld from sanctuary cities, residents of rockville back to the tiny council chambers to voice their support for the city's proposed sanctuary ordinance. >> tonight, i brought my passport to prove that i am a u.s. citizen. but i do not want to have to carry this anywhere to prove that i belong here. >> lastly, i.c.e. announced just yesterday that the last friday, it arrested the father of the second rape suspect and that rockville rape, 18-year-old henry sanchez. adolfo sanchez reyes, 43 euros of guatemala, was taking into

custody after i.c.e. look at his records and found he had been living in the united states unlawfully. >> martha: is hurting in support of president trump, eric custer, attorney and political commentator. we are expecting the tape of the president any moment. david, let me start with you. on the face of it, these text messages seem to present a problem for the prosecution, but do they come a legally? >> she is a 14-year-old kid. these kids do text messages that mean things other than they say or they embellish on facts. juries, as far as they are concerned, the only consent that will matter is that consent or lack of consent that was given right before the alleged attack and during the attack. if that wasn't given, it is a prosecutor used to make a determination? injuries to the child. physical trauma. emotional trauma. a detailed blow-by-blow account of what happened during that event. that will be more powerful.

>> martha: we are about to go to the president. 20 seconds, i want to get your thoughts. >> it depends on what she told the police at that time. if she lied and said i never asked for sex are never how to speed with this boy, that goes to her credibility. a rape cases are about credibility. >> martha: we got to play this directly. here is the president. he is in in a mainstream tonigt meeting with senators and their spouses. we want to play for you but he just said. some interesting comments in here. let's listen in. >> nobody ever told me that politics was going to be so much fun. but we are doing well. it's doing very well. we just had a long call from general mattis and john, i know, it's very happy to hear that. he knows better than anyone that

we are doing very well in iraq. our soldiers are fighting like never before. the results are very, very good. i wanted to let everyone know. i have some very special friends of this room, especially, i must tell you, we have the republicans, and a couple of democrats. we had a dinner here about three weeks ago and it was so beautiful. we have these incredible musicians from the marine corps, and i said, i would like to do something special, i would like to ask the united states senate with spouses to come and hear how good it was. it was a beautiful evening. so, here we are. shockingly, it is semibipartisan. a lot of people showed up that people weren't expecting, which is a very good thing. a very, very good thing. [applause] and i know that we will all make a deal in health care. that is such an easy one. i have no doubt that that will happen very quickly. i think it will come actually. i think it is going to happen because we have all been

promising, democrat, republican, we have all been promising not to the american people. i think a lot of good things are going to happen. we will talk about infrastructure. we are going to talk about fixing up our military, which we really need. there has been a depletion and we will make it so good and so strong, there has never been a time or we have needed it so much. we are going to be doing a great job. hopefully, it will start being bipartisan because everybody really wants the same thing. we want greatness for this country that we love. so, i think we are going to have some very good relationships. right, chuck? hello, chuck. and i really think that will happen. again, enjoy these incredible musicians. they are really something special. and i hope we are going to do this many, many times together as a unit. thank you all for being here. our vice president. did we make the right decision with pence?

[applause] and karen, thank you very much. so nice. thank you, everybody. have a good time. >> martha: interesting. a little "hello, chuck" come on the opposite side of a number of things recently. everybody is gathered on the white house for this special evening. he says that they do believe that they will get health care moving. he spoke with general mattis and things were going well in the intense fight that is ongoing, as you know, and iraq. kind of a lighthearted moment from the president this evening as he addressed senators and their spouses, he wanted to get the whole group together. there is not. also, coming up tonight, still ahead, the first daughter back in the headlines as questions intensify over her increasingly large role at the white house and whether she can offer advice to working women. martha mcsally held a hearing on that issue today, she will tell us what she is doing to get women to more pivotal roles and her thoughts on ivanka trump's role

related to that. i can tell you from the panels we had today and my own experience, i was in the military for 26 years as a fighter pilot. women are still struggling on many fronts. in some cases, there is flat out bias and discrimination. in other cases, there are barriers related to flexibility or them going into lower paying career fields. there is an actual pay gap but in many cases, it is because of women being more predominantly responsible for being a caregiver and having to go in and out of the workforce to meet those responsibilities. what we thought the hearing today, private sector companies talking about what they are doing as companies to empower women so they can be fully engaged at work and also meet their responsibilities. it is good for their company and their bottom line. >> martha: thank you very much, congresswoman martha mcsally, we have a bunch of people sending us tweets, very supportive and very supportive of ivanka trump for the most
