team, they say that the president was well within his rights to let comey go. but his critics say not so fast, his behavior towards the former head of the fbi was highly unethical. >> the president is the seal of the country. he can hire and fire whoever he wants. that is his right. whether you agree with it or not, it is the truth. and he can do it on his own team. >> i am a devoted to helping the president achieve his electives. i have to earn his confidence every day with how i go about those appears and how i go about conducting the state department activities consistent with the direction that he wants to take the country. >> the president fired the fbi director because of the russian investigation. that first one given, again, the white house misleading the country about a major action that the country was taking. >> heather: cheap white house correspondent john roberts is live with us.

hello, john. >> good morning to you. it's trying to get some other stories besides the comey firing. i was in proximity to the oval office just a few minutes ago. the president was welcoming in a number of shares. it's going on in washington. you can see there on the screen as well. we await him on capitol hill where he is going to give remarks to the national peace office memorial service, and he is meeting with the crown prince of the united arab emirates this afternoon. all in preparation for his trip to the middle east on friday. the president still being dogged by the fallout of the firing of comey a week ago. the only topic on all of the sunday shows yesterday. the former national intelligence director saying that democracy is under assault from the white house. listen here. >> well, i will just say that these developments over the past week are very bothersome, very disturbing to me.

i think in many ways our institutions are under assault, both externally, and that is the big news here. russian interference in our election system. and i think as well, our institutions are under assault internally? >> internally from the president? >> exactly. >> in high gear add in the meantime, jeff sessions, the attorney general, and his deputy interviewed eight candidates, the acting director of the fbi, andrew mccabe, john cornyn, alice fisher who was in the justice department years ago. judge michael garcia, federal judge from virginia, henry hudson. adam lee who is the head of the fbi virginia. mike rogers from michigan, he is supported by an association of fbi agents paid a lot of people think he has the inside track. they interviewed former bush security advisor frances

townsend. they have not ruled out the idea of nominating the chief justice marriage garland to head up the fbi. utah senator mike lee floated that. a number of standpoints, first of all democrats would be hard-pressed to oppose merrick garland, they would have to almost invent an idea if they wanted to obstruct him. certainly it opens up a spot on a very important court, it would show that the president is not afraid of the russia investigation. there is not a lot of buy in for the white house at this point, i am told that some people think it is a terrible idea, but at least the idea is being talked about by some folks here at the white house. the president also this afternoon is going to sign an executive order which will dramatically expand the amount of money that is covered by the mexico city policy that prohibits federal funding of abortions overseas. all of that money now will be, or at least the mexico city policy will go under the

umbrella of the u.s. global health fund which will probably by a factor of at least ten, probably more increase the amount of money that is covered by that policy. >> heather: just another monday on capitol hill. very busy day for you. thank you, john. >> jon: more now are reports of a staff shakeup in the works at the white house. his former deputy campaign manager says that president trump can fire and hire whomever he wants. >> everybody as i said a moment ago related to the fbi served at the pleasure of the president. the president gets to decide his staff. no one else does. these folks are doing an incredibly hard and difficult job. a 24 hours a day, seven days a week for the american people and trying to get the president's agenda through. with that said, if the president wants to make changes, it is up to him. >> jon: shingled marker, chief correspondent for political.

what lights can you shed on these rumors that the communications team might be in for a shakeup? >> right now these are rumors not just among the press corps, but inside the white house itself. people are talking about what changes could come down the pipe here. what you need to know about president trump, when he runs into turbulence, and he did on the campaign over and over and in the early months on the white house. he looks for somebody else to blame. from the get-go unhappy with his communications team. he was unhappy on his first full day was sean spicer and his performance. he was unhappy when he gave himself a grade over the first month or so, he gave himself and, but his communications team got a b. he has been talking about spokespeople, but whether he will pull the trigger on this, all kinds of rumors and discussions on the shakeup with the entire west wing. >> jon: it is also said that he was unhappy with the way that the coverage of the firing of james comey was handled.

>> absolutely, but he did not give them enough time to prepare the rollout plan. at the end of the day, the lead of every bond story was going to be that donald trump fired the fbi director who is actively investigating associates of donald trump. that is not a communications team problem fundamentally. it is the facts. they are a tough story for the president. he did this in part, reporting has said because he wanted to end the story. he was sick of seeing the russia stuff in the headlines. more stories about russia, combing, and the investigation in the last week. >> jon: are you saying that you and the press corps who have the verbal jab's tests, do you have some sympathy for him? >> there is no question that sean has a tough job, right? when you have to go out and speak for the president, the president is not giving you the whole of the end to information. will sometimes contradict you. the spokespeople and the

vice president to say why he has hired the fbi director, a couple of days later in an interview with nbc news, donald trump set a different reason completely. he makes the vice president anna spokespeople look like they say the wrong thing publicly, because they had. >> jon: affecting sean spicer is getting lampooned on "saturday night live" probably does not help his position. >> i did not help a couple of months ago, i don't know whether or not the president watched this weekend when melissa mccarthy was sort of particularly the prominent role, but it's certainly the characterizations of him have not helped. the thing that president trump does like about sean spicer's press briefings, he has live television coverage, lots of viewers. for the first 10 minutes, sean spicer is getting to deliver the administration line live to a national television audience. that is valuable. for trump to give that up for somebody who might be more boring, less interesting, more boring is now what donald trump likes to do, typically.

>> jon: every white house brings in a team of people, and some of them work and some of them don't work. don't work out. would it be all that unusual if the president decided to make changes among his communications staff? >> no. this has deftly happened before, but this will be quick. he has only been in 100 days, the less parallel was bill clinton made a shakeup as his communications department in the first months of his tenure. but usually they come in for a year, two years. and the problem is for trump, and the third week there were discussions about staff intrigue, palace intrigue, fighting among each other, jockeying for position. this has been a problem because so much of the energy inside the west wing is focused on who is ahead with their own agendas and not necessarily the presidents. >> jon: there have been an inordinate number of leaks from this administration, would you agree? >> i think absolutely, the number of people who are able

and willing to share informatio information, sometimes trying to advance their agendas, not necessarily the president's agenda. the reporters at politico, talking about handling terms stories. sometimes they are true, sometimes they are false. having an impact to keep themselves within edge. to get an edge on policy decisions. he is driven by information that he receives. and so for all of the steppers, something interesting using the press, donald trump is a huge consumer of the media. he wakes up in the morning and he is watching "fox & friends" people are using him in the media to get them to do things. >> jon: interesting stuff. at the president getting some fake news every once in a while from his own staffers. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> heather: still to come, court action in a triple murder case with the defendant accused of killing his wife, neighbor, and a pastor. police say that he has confessed. his attorney says that he will

he wants the democratic party to refuse to vote on a new director until a special prosecutor is appointed. do you support that move? >> yeah, i think that there are a lot of democrats that feel that way. we will have to discuss it as a caucus, but i will support that move, because who the fbi director is is related to the special prosecutor. the key here is getting some of the republican colleagues to join us. we are hoping, waiting, we understand that it is difficult, but i think that patriotism and the needs of the country demanded. >> jon: joining us now, brad sherman. a democrat from california who sits on the house foreign affairs committee. you are an advocate of a special prosecutor for this russia investigation, do i have that right? >> absolutely sincerely van lee meg january when i was hoping loretta lynch would have appointed a special prosecutor. >> jon: why do you think one is needed in this case? >> because the people of the country need to know whether trump colluded with the kremlin

in his campaign. i do not know what those facts are, but as a country we need to know. and we need to have faith in the answer. the only way to have faith in the answer is for it to come from an independent investigation. >> jon: charles grassley is one that has said that he has seen no information from the fbi that suggests that there was any collusion between the trump campaign and russian officials. >> well of course you do not have the information until you do the investigation. you cannot have confidence in the investigation unless it is carried out by an independent special counsel. i hope very much during an exhaustive review there is no evidence of collusion. because as an american, i would like to think that the person serving in the white house did not get there as part of a conspiracy with a foreign power to burg allies were cyber the democratic national committee. >> jon: but it should not surprise us that to the russians are trying to have metal with our elections?

they are masters at the disinformation. >> everybody knows that russia was involved, but it is the question of whether the trump campaign was colluding. we know that a crime was committed, the question is was that a crime of putin, or was it acting in concert with the trump campaign. we will have confidence in that answer unless we have an independent counsel. >> jon: what about this is investigation from senator schumer, or suggesting a number of democratic senators who said that democrats should not confirm a new fbi director until a special prosecutor is appointed? the people sent all of you there to get things done, doesn't holding up the appointment of a new fbi director just to make a political point, doesn't that, i don't know, disappoint the american people? >> i think we need a new fbi director that we have confidence

in, and we need a special counsel. i cannot advise on what exactly senate tactic would get us there. the republicans have a majority in the senate, and so they can confirm a special counsel or an fbi director without any democratic votes. so i don't know what the tactic should be in terms of senate tools to try and push this ball along, what we need to do is get a special counsel and an fbi director, both of whom are beyond political approach. >> jon: as you know, any person basically in the federal government of federal judges, can be hired and fired at the pleasure of president. bill clinton fired an fbi director. so, are you saying that president trump does not have the right to do this? or you have concerns about the motivations? >> intent matters. richard nixon had the legal authority to file -- fire cox

and richard phelps. but everybody knew that it was to derail the watergate investigation. if trump had fired comey for some other reason, i don't think that he would face this level of criticism, but when he fires comey, and it appears that their purpose is to derail the investigation into his own campaign, we are all very concerned. one problem in dealing with trump, his statements are so confused and contradictory that it is hard to really know what his purpose was. >> jon: as you well know, many of your democrats were suggesting that the fbi director should have been fired after the other a clinton investigation. >> i never called for comey to be fired. i realized he had a tough position. intent and reasons matter. just if comey was let go for some other reason, fine. but you do not fire and fbi director to derail an investigation into the

president's campaign or the president's administration. it is the intent that matters here. and now -- the tremendous effort that trump has made to derail the investigation causes the country to be more interested in getting a fair independent investigation of whether there was collusion in the cyber burglary of the democratic national committee. >> jon: brad sherman, democrat of california, thank you for being with us. >> heather: on the widest ranging cyber attack in history. it is still spreading all around the world. the next step in the fight against the ransom where virus, and why the following firing of james comey, wondering if president trump records his conversations, others are demanding to hear the tape. >> if there are tapes, that would be the best evidence of what took place. if they exist, congress needs to get them.

♪ >> heather: the james comey saga continues. a tweet from the president last week, you will recall, has people asking at the president secretly records conversations in the white house. it might not be a far-fetched shy of the idea. "the wall street journal" reporting that the president secretly recorded conversations at trump tower in the past. senator mark warner said this to chris wallace on "fox news sunday" ." >> i am by no means a legal expert, but there sure seems to have reparations of past history. when we have seen presidents who secretly tape, that usually does not end up being a good outcome. >> heather: and for more, i am joined by fox news anchor, and

attorney gregg jarrett. thank you for being with us. it may not end well, but here is the conversation, is it legal? >> if you go to the white house and have a conversation with president trump, because it is federal property, federal law prize. you do not need to know if he is taping that conversation. one party consent rule. if you go to mar-a-lago and you have a conversation with him, and he recorded and you do not know about it, he has broken the law. florida is a two party consent rule. so it depends on where the conversation took place. in new york, trump allegedly recorded conversations. perfectly legal to do so without the other party knowing about it. >> heather: lots of requests, rose -- there is imperative adam schiff wants it. >> he does not get it without a subpoena. that has to be relevant to the investigation of the crime. it is not a crime to fire the director of the fbi. it is not a crime to ask

somebody to be loyal. it is not a crime to say, amanita subject of your criminal investigation. it is not wise, but it is not a crime. and that does not mean that they will not subpoena any tapes if they exist. they may not exist. but they have to stay on some reasonable basis for a crime. >> heather: what the president's tweet to be enough? >> no, probably not. if james comey were to testify before congress that the president asked him to block the investigation, that is arguably a structure of justice, but we would know about that already, why? because comey is duty-bound to go immediately to the department of justice and congress and notify them of that. he did not do it, so it likely did not happen. again, no evidence of a crime to support a subpoena. >> heather: when people hear the tapes, they think back to watergate. president nixon had to turn over his white house tapes, what is a

difference? >> huge difference. back then there was evidence of a crime. there was a testifying among congress that the president asked him to lie about watergate. so they were there to prove or disprove the fact. later on people were testifying a cover-up and a slush fund, in the end nixon fought ed, claimed executive privilege, national security, went to the supreme court, and they said, sorry, you have to turn over the tapes. it led to articles of impeachment and the resignation of richard nixon. again, there was a plethora of evidence of a crime already. here, there is not. >> heather: so we just heard congressman brad sherman speaking to jon scott. he was talking about the prosecutor, chuck schumer as well. no new fbi director will be confirmed by the senate unless it is special prosecutor's name. so how does that work? >> well, schumer and democrats

probably do not have the votes. he would have to have a majority 512 approve the nominee. if they choose somebody nonpolitical, then schumer probably cannot do that. if they choose somebody political, they might get some republicans to play. how do you select a special console? it used to be congress would requested of the attorney general, that expired in 1999. now it is simply the attorney general appointing a special counsel here. jeff sessions has recused himself, so it would be the deputy ag, rob rosenstein who will decide whether we will appoint a special prosecutor. will he do it? we don't know, but political pressure may increase. and by the way, if president trump has nothing to hide, he should not be worried about a special counsel. and in fairness, maybe there should be fresh eyes looking at the previous fbi director's pronouncement that

hillary clinton should not be prosecuted. maybe there should be a special counsel to review the evidence in that case and decide whether criminal charges should be had. >> heather: what a tangled web we weave. there is a lot. a lot going on. thank you so much. >> jon: the white house is criticizing media coverage of the james comey firing. as you can imagine. reporters should have seen it coming along time ago. our media panel weighs in. and in international efforts underway to stop a ransom where attack. 150 countries already affected. experts fear it could spread even further. >> this is a very serious problem. and i think it is going to grow. ♪ i don't know why i didn't get screened a long time ago.

investigative reporter. james freeman, assistant editor of "the wall street journal" editorial page. both fox news contributors. of duty, you seem to have a chuckle at what kellyanne conway was saying. >> yes, adding a new job to her resume, media critic in addition to spokesperson. this is ridiculous. what planet is she living on? i was the president who created the firestorm by knee capping his vice president. and undercutting the explanation with the vice president and other senior staff people giving to why james comey was being fired. so the idea of the process of turning into a story, not a cut of a fixture of our imagination or the fact that we did not see it coming. even the senior people, the fbi in his own white house did not know that the president was going to do this. the best defense is a good offense. she is taking a page out of the

trump book which is going on the defensive, attack. she did the best she could with it. but please. >> jon: the fbi director was fired late tuesday, wednesday morning, that was when the vice president went out to capitol hill and said, he was fired because the deputy attorney general in concurrence with the attorney general said he was not doing a good job and he should be fired. then the president undid all of that by talking to lester holt and said, no, i fired him because he was not doing a good job. it had nothing to do with the deputy ag. >> he was not doing a good job coming and he should be fired. obviously the trump administration is not known per message discipline, but kellyanne conway is raising a good question. we have seen all of the stories about supposedly imminent firings sourced to unnamed government officials. the one firing that actually occurred recently was nowhere in the press before hand. so i think it is a question. because you look at a lot of the

stories, unnamed officials saying things that totally undercut the trump message. it could be that that is just the trump white house. but it also raises a question, who are the? i think consumers reading the news might start to say, tell us, are the sources people hired by donald trump or a predecessor? >> jon: because nobody saw the firing of comey coming? >> we should have seen it coming. you go back to last year, people talking about threats to our system of government, jim comey was a threat. you look at how he took it upon himself to exercise authority, he does not hold them. he does not have the authority to decide whether to charge hillary clinton or to exonerate her in public or to muse about things she did wrong. >> wait a minute, james. come on. you had donald trump himself blowing air kisses at james comey when he was elected. donald trump saying what a great

job he was doing. and donald trump then after his own vice president gives one explanation, gives a contrary explanation saying, oh, i decided this a long time ago. who did he tell? we still don't know. you want to talk about reporting, who was it exactly? when was a precisely that the president decided to do this? with whom did he consult if anyone? how many people at the white house actually knew anything about this? i bet you would find it is almost no one. >> we have found that this is horrible communication, inconsistent, and the message is going all over the place, but the underlying reality is that this was a good firing in the country is better for it. i know that there is a bizarre unconventional nature to this white house, but i think that at some point you do need to look at the results. >> jon: the president has suggested that he might cancel the daily press briefing altogether. and jonathan allen writing in the role call concurred, he said

for this white house he would agree with the idea of canceling the daily briefing, what do you think about it? >> i think absolutely if the poor communication staff, and i really do feel sorry for them have to go out with partial truths or complete dishonest statements that they don't even realize are dishonest. cancel it, just have donald trump do the press briefing himself. that would be more effective than sending these poor people out day after day with stories that the president's then is going to contradict. >> working on the communications effort at the white house may be the toughest job that it has ever been, because of this lack of message discipline, the talking points are not in order. the spokespeople have not heard from the president on this. i think that a lot of people in the country find it a little bit refreshing that it is not so polished, it is not the usual talking points, true or not, all

uniform across government. but there is something to be said. they put out statements, and the thing he can take questions from the press every two weeks or so. i think those media availability is for him are pretty enlightening. >> jon: james freeman, judy miller, both fox news contributors. >> heather: and we continue to await the president's remarks there on capitol hill. but in the meantime, a new problem in the friendly skies. what united just admitted as the airline struggles to recover from that viral video of a passenger dragged off one of its flights. plus a new warning from kim jong-un, north korea just took a big step in its nuclear effort. what a new type of missile test was all about over the weekend. and the danger that it poses and how the u.s. is responding. we are live at the pentagon. >> having a missile test is not the way to sit down with the president.
