called for home the last six years." abc says the move was purely business decision by the network to stop scheduling comedies on friday night. i'm melissa francis. here's shep. >> shepard: it's noon on thecoa. 3:00 at the white house. president trump is facing the more serious allegation since he took office. turning over classified secrets since becoming president. he says he did nothing wrong. some republicans and democrats demand answers. new clues in the worldwide hack attack pointing to north korea. could the rogue nation have the power to cripple computers around the globe? and pirates of the caribbean held hostage. cyber criminals say they stole a copy of the blockbuster before its release and demanding disney pay up or else. let's get to it.
12:01 pm
first from the fox news deck, the white house is refusing to confirm whether president trump shared classified information with the russians. the administration is focusing on leaks rather than the substance. this time, the president is accused of the original leak. taking intelligence, sharing it with an adversary in the oval office while only that country's media were in the room. no americans. as congress and the fbi are investigating russian interference in our election and possible team trump collusion with the russians. so far no republican lawmaker has come to his defense. some are silent. some are expressing concern. paul ryan through a spokesman is asking for a full explanation. senator susan collins of maine says she has not been informed and that "it's very serious" and
12:02 pm
she wants to "find out what the facts are." representative barbara comstock republican of very issued a statement saying "once again we're faced with stories coming from the white house that are highly troubling. we need immediate classified briefings so that congress can know as much as russian leaders". most striking of all, bob corker from tennessee says the white house is in a downward spiral and that it "has got to do something soon to bring itself under control and in order." then there's the president's cabinet. several hours ago, h.r. mcmaster said the information president trump shared with the russians was wholly appropriate. he wouldn't say if the information was classified. >> we don't say what is classified and what is not classified. i will tell you what he shared is wholly appropriate. the story combined what was
12:03 pm
leaked with other information and then insinuated about sources and methods. i wanted to make clear to everybody that the president in no way compromised any sources or methods in the course of this conversation. >> shepard: "wholly appropriate" used nine times. this comes from buzz feed and "the new york times" and others, reported president trump revealed highly classified material. according to the reports, the president revealed sensitive details that may have quoted information about the islamic states. our cousins at the "wall street journal" are reporting that intelligence source was israel, and that israel was not informed that the president would be sharing that information with anyone much less the russians.
12:04 pm
as for the president's meeting with the russians, "the washington post" and others report "he went off script" and gave details of an isis threat involving laptop computers on air lanes. the "washington post" told the russians, i get great intelligence. i have people brief me on great intel every day. the president said this morning lashed out on twitter posting as president, i wanted to share with russian at an openly scheduled white house meeting which i have the absolute right to do facts pertaining to terrorism and airline flight safety. humanitarian reasons. plus, i want russia to step up their fight against isis and terrorism. i've been asking director comey to find my leakers in the intelligence community. of course, president trump's meeting with the russians came just hours after he fired the fbi director james comey. the president has now admitted the russian investigation was at
12:05 pm
least on his mind when he made the decision to fire him. president trump warned former director comey not to leak their conversations and suggested there might be tapes thereof. now the president is fighting accusations that he leaked sense ty information. candidate trump bashed hillary clinton for leaking classified information. in the month of july, he tweeted, "crooked hillary clinton and her team were careless in sensitive highly classified information. not fit." later that month, candidate trump treated "hillary clinton should not be given sensitive briefings because she's a loose cannon and bad instincts." now the sitting president is accused of actions that are more dangerous. andrew napolitano says these are the most serious accusations levels against a sitting president in the modern era. we'll hear from him shortly.
12:06 pm
first, john roberts live from the north lawn. john? >> good afternoon to you. i'm being told while since of this information may have been developed by israel, it wasn't in the form of a specific document that the president pulled out and presented to the russians and said this is what we're learning. more it was there was information that was developed in one region and the president had a conversation in general about the threats that some of that information described and that it's wrong to completely connect the dots between the two things. what the president was talking to the russians about is threats to aviation. that goes beyond just the laptop ban. a security official told me a short time ago that every day we hear no end of different ways and creative ways that people want to blow up airplanes because it seems that al-quaida and isis are still consumed with the idea of bringing down airliners. don't forget that russian had that attack on october 21, 2015 in which 224 people died when
12:07 pm
isis brought down a russian airliner that was taking off in the sinai part of egypt. so the president when he was meting with the president of turkey said that he believed that it was appropriate to share information ant a common threat with a country that he wants to bring on as an ally in the fight of isis. here's what the president said. >> we had a very successful meeting with trussia. general mcmasters said and i know he feels we had a great meeting with the foreign minister. we're going to have great success the next coming years and we want to get as many to help fight terrorism as possible. >> we're also told in an off camera briefing by sean spicer that the president is very upset about this latest leak, particularly when you consider it's the latest in a long line
12:08 pm
of leaks. here's some audio without pictures because this is an off camera briefing with sean spicer. >> what has occurred today or the last little while in terms of these leaks is frankly dangerous. the idea that someone who has been given access to information is pushing that information out into the media, undermines our national security and i don't think there's any other way to say it that it is frankly dangerous. >> we heard the same thing from general h.r. mcmaster when he said that what really is a threat to national security isn't what the president shared with russians but it's in the public domain. so i pressed the national public security adviser said what the nsd is doing to curb such things. >> what steps are you taking by virtual of discovering this as you did to try to limit the potential for any more leaks of national security information?
12:09 pm
>> i think national security is at risk by this leak and leaks like this. there's a number of instances where this has occurred and i think it's important to investigate these sort of things and to make sure that we have trusted organizations across our government that allows for the free sharing of information and collaboration. >> of course, the national security apparatus believes these leaks are bad. others say they like the information about what the president is doing is getting out there. i spoke with eric ericson, a fox news contributor. he says he knows one of the people that leaked this information, has talked to that person about it. the reason is, this person is a trump supporter, doesn't like the way the president isn't listening to his aides. and thought by getting this information in the public domain, the blow back may influence the president to change his ways. shep?
12:10 pm
>> shepard: anything from the israelis? >> this falls into a narrative that was created in the initial story by giving this information to the russians developed by a third partner, the president may be jeopardizing the information sharing partnerships that we have around the world. but listening to the israeli ambassador to the united states, the relationship when it comes to intelligence sharing between the u.s. and israel is on a firm footing. this is what we were told. so any idea that this has damaged israeli-u.s. relations in terms of intelligence sharing, shep, appears to be knocked down by this particular statement. but there's other issues that we don't have time to talk about that do have israel worked up in terms of what the u.s. is saying. >> shepard: indeed. thanks, john roberts. lawmakers from both parties are calling the report that president trump shared
12:11 pm
classified information with russian officials disserving. mike emanuel is live on capitol hill. i gave the report from some republicans, including a bob corker, the republican of tennessee that says -- had harsh words for the white house. what else are you getting? >> shep, some republicans sound alarms saying they want more answers from the white house. other republicans are concerned about the distraction aspect keeping them from what they want to get done. a spokesman from paul ryan says protecting american's secrets are paramount. the senate majority leader weighed in briefly a short time ago. >> let me just repeat what i said in an earlier interview this morning. it would be helpful to have less drama emanating from the white house. >> mcconnell said he would prefer to be talking about less regulation, repealing and replacing obamacare and tax reform rather than the crisis at the moment from the white house.
12:12 pm
>> shepard: what are you hearing from democrats? >> chuck schumer says he wants to see transcripts of what the president said to the rushes. nancy pelosi said we can't have the president loose lip ped to n adversarial domain. >> with regard to the compromise of code-worded information, it compromises our intelligence sources, compromises our war against isis, compromises our relationship with other international partners. because of way in this was revealed, it potentially compromises our young men and women in the middle east. >> other democrats are calling it reckless and disturbing. >> shepard: mike emanuel, thank you. our next guest says the white house may have to pushing from a

12:16 pm
code word information to the russians. the white house says it was wholly appropriate for the president to share that intelligence but it will not say whether the information was in fact classified. let's turn to anna palmer from politico. anna, good afternoon. >> good afternoon. >> shepard: is there some question about whether this information was classified? it doesn't appear that there is. >> i think the issue really is -- trump can decide to declassify anything at any time. so whether or not it was classified might not be the problem. the problem is the fact that he's giving information from one of the u.s.'s most greatest allies to somebody in the russian administration which is certainly not -- has not been an ally for the u.s. a long time. trump is close to russian. people are concerned about what has been happening the past couple days. >> general mcmaster came out
12:17 pm
nine times by my count and said what he said was wholly appropriate. at the end of the news conference, he said the president did not know the source of this information. in other words, pleading ignorance to a matter is bliss. that's not the case, is it? >> well, what we know now is that obviously israel, which basically has been confirmed by their government -- >> shepard: or a source. >> or was one of the sources or a source for this information. the question i think that is really telling here is you have certainly mcmasters coming out strongly defending donald trump. you don't have a single republican on capitol hill stepping up to the plate and coming to his defense at all. not a single one. not leadership, not in the rank and file and that is stunning. >> shepard: and normally for many people, observers thereof, this is about team, emotion, it's about values and morals. but for these politicians,
12:18 pm
largely and with notable exceptions that don't come to minds, this is about re-election and what changes the way people behave is their belief about their possibilities of getting re-elected. when staying with the current causes you problems in the future, you abandon the current the history books tell us. >> one of the biggest issues that we're talking to every day are looking at 2018. donald trump will not be on the ballot in 2018. a of members of congress will be. they're looking to the fact that is trump up from going to be a drag, can they defend the issues, whether the firing of fbi director james comey or his information on the campaign travel. trump was harsh and his allies were harsh how hillary clinton was handling classified information. you can see the attack ads here. >> shepard: there's a lot coming together now. the investigations, fbi and
12:19 pm
congressional investigations, the matter of the russians, having the russians in the oval office the day a after the firing of the fbi director that was conducting the investigation on the russians and the alleged transmission of classified secrets given to us by an ally to the russians who are our adversaries about seeing how this puzzle might be coming together in the future. if you're a republican, barbara comstock mentioned earlier, whose seat will be challenged in the coming election, you might look to those people to see where the party will go. if it's barbara comstock, there's lots of questions. >> what is interesting here, it's not just moderates and people that weren't with trump in the beginning. you're not having people like senate majority leader, mitch mcconnell saying he can deal with a lot less drama from the white house. that is a clear signal. this is not even shadowboxing
12:20 pm
anymore. capitol hill would like trump to be acting differently. they're saying get in line, you're not helping us. at some point, we're hearing from a lot of sources that capitol hill republicans are going to go their own way, which will be a major problem for donald trump and his big packages like tax reform and health care. >> shepard: thanks, anna. >> thank you. >> shepard: judge andrew napolitano said it was perfectly legal for the president to share classified information with the russians. but still, judge andrew napolitano is calling the actions gray and profound. he's here to explain next.

>> shepard: continuing coverage of the stop story of the day. sean spicer calling leaks about president trump's sharing intelligence frankly dangerous and the threat to national security. the white house calling the information the president shared wholly a rope why it and refusing to say whether it was classified. judge napolitano is here. if you could encapsulate as you did for me what the accusation here and explain to the audience the seriousness of it. >> the president can declassify anything. he can whisper it into your ear, in which case it's declassified just for you or remove it from the category of classification, in which case it becomes public. in this case he didn't whisper it in their ear but said it to those in the oval office. among them with the foreign minister to russia and the ambassador to russia. so one way to look at this is,
12:25 pm
by naming the city from which the intelligence information in syria came, the president of the united states told our adversary, russia, where our allies, the israelis have their spies located in syria. that's very dangerous. because in syria the russian interest is adverse to the american interest and the israelis are aligned with the americans. >> shepard: so what you're saying the president told the russian spy in the oval office, we got information from israel inside syria and here's where the spies are inside in syria. >> he apparently did that without using the name israel or the word "israeli" but these guys knew or could easily calculate what foreign power had enough resources located in syria to produce the kind of information that the president was talking about. again, he didn't break any law. obviously the allegation that an
12:26 pm
american president gave top secret information to an adversary is grave and never been charged before in the modern era. the question is how harmful is this and what the concern about it in the feature. >> shepard: legally speaking for the president. >> absolutely safe. the statute is very clear. the president can classify anything and he can declassify anything. when he said i had the right to do it, he's absolutely correct. >> shepard: the bigger picture question is for someone with a different expertise than mine or yours and this would be how that would affect others. for instance, jordan, who is always known to be a very good source of intelligence for news the war on terror. would some of our allies like jordan be concerned about sharing information with us if they thought the information might find its way to the
12:27 pm
russians? >> that's the $64,000 question. i'm sure general mcmaster and his team are concerned about that. because they rely on the jordanians as the jordanians rely on us. they think the exchange wouldn't be good. the president claims we have a common enemy. isis destroyed one of their flights around several hundred russian civilians were murdered and he wanted to help them find out what isis was up to and where they were located. i'm sure if general mcmaster ahead of time, he would have suggested the president use different words. >> shepard: thank you. >> you're welcome. >> shepard: president trump meeting face to face with the turkish president after angering them with arming kurdish fighters. the kurds and the turk government are wildly opposed and fight along the border.

12:34 pm
does not confirm north korea's cyber attack. it's possible the attackers copied the code. this comes days after north korea tested a missile. kim jong-un says the weapon is able to hit the united states mainland. greg palkot has more. greg? >> shep, it's all being called circumstantial evidence. but it's looking strong. this has been going on for four days. 300,000 targets worldwide. and now the economic impact of this hacking attack said to be $4 billion. now, security firms here and in europe as well as the u.s. and today in south korea are making this north korean link.
12:35 pm
we've known for years that kim jong-un's regime had a whole army of crooks talking in a variety of ways, a variety of targets. now as you hinted at, the program code found in this latest malware, ransomware attack, is somewhat similar to other attacks. there was a 2014 attack on sony pictures. but there's other attacks mostly in asia and seem to think the ransom gained in the attacks, $100,000 so far. but the disruption is maximum. in the u.s., they made out pretty well. europe was hit hard. interestingly, china hit very hard. 30,000 institutions were targeted. everything from universities to gas stations. we did hear today beijing officials saying listen, this
12:36 pm
has to end hinting that north korea has to do something about it. again, the investigation not completely sure that north korea is involved. that's why europol and other investigative bodies are working hard as well as the blame game. microsoft had its vulnerabilities in the soft way. they found ways to counter act that and take advantage of that. and then there's the hackers and then the users like you and me that should put up more defenses. this is not the end of this. >> shepard: greg palkot live. thank you. and let's go to our countser terrorism expert. what is your take on this?t's i korea is the culprit, this is a country run by a criminal enterprise that also has an army. is this a way to generate revenue to generate billions in ransom or is it a shot across
12:37 pm
the bow? shows that the north koreans or whoever is doing this can affect hundreds of countries and maybe in the event that there's a shooting war that happens on the korean peninsula, they can do more damage. is it a money-making enterprise or more? it's in the early days and can't wait to see what happens. >> shepard: help us understand that someone might draw the conclusion that it was the north koreans? we know our government can make whatever they do look like somebody else did it? >> what we're talking about is attribution. we saw, we, the u.s. government, but companies like samantac and some labs in russia, they saw bits and pieces of this attack that was used in previous attacks that the north koreans had a hand in. you talked about the sony pictures debacle. we think the north koreans were
12:38 pm
involved in the bangladesh sentra bank attack and another poland bank attack. so if you look at the data, you see the same fingerprint, usually leads you to the same conclusion. people can fake data and change things around around make things look like something else. but enough data points suggest that the north koreans had some hand in this. >> shepard: if they had done this in a physical way, in other words, using humans, going to the different countries to do what they're alleged to have done in a cyber way, that might be considered an act of pretty extreme aggression. some might trend towards an act of war. why is this not? >> well, because cyber is a strange thing. even though we've had the internet for several decades now, we don't think of it in war concept. we talk north korea and their
12:39 pm
nuclear weapons programs, the missile capabilities. we don't talk about their chemical and biological weapons all aimed at south korea. the thing about cyber is, there's no distant issue here. if you fire a missile, you have to make to it japan or south korea. on cyber, they're inside the gate. doesn't matter whether here in the united states or doing things elsewhere. you are here. >> shepard: thanks, aki. >> thank you very much. >> shepard: turkey's president says his country is looking for a new beginning to relations with the united states. the comments came during the turkish president's meeting with president trump at the white house and comes after the pentagon went against objections to arm kurdish fighters. turkey says they have links to terrorism.
12:40 pm
the turks called the kurds terrorist. pentagon officials say they need help from the kurds to take over raqqa. in other words, one country's terrorists is another country's allies. so it is with the kurds and with the turks. the u.s. government has refused to extra diet a turkish cleric in pennsylvania who the turkish president said was behind a coup last year. rich edson has more. >> the president congratulated president trump for what he said was a legendary triumph that he garnered in the afterer math of the election. despite the price, the compliments and the long working relationship with turkey and the united states, the alliance is showing stress lately. the u.s.'s refusal to extradite

hackers claim to have "pirates of the caribbean: dead man tell no tales." it's kind of a big deal. according to reports, the hackers will release the movie in segments if disney doesn't pay. but this doesn't have anything to do with the cyber attacks all over the world? >> no, shep. in the disney case, hackers made their way into a computer that held a digital copy of "pirates of the caribbean 5." it was a disney computer but could have been stolen from a third party company involved in the production of the film. the amount of the ransom is undisclosed but said to be
