>> special counsel robert mueller filing the first charges of his russia investigation, the wall street journal putting a grand jury approved yesterday, mueller was appointed by the justice department and made to look at possible collusion between the trump campaign and russia. an issue never far from the front burner in washington. welcome to america's news headquarters. great to be with you. >> speculation building over who could be indicted and what the charges would be. the first arrest could happen as

soon as monday. >> one of the reasons, we still don't know a lot about these charges. a federal judge field the indictment so we don't have answers to the big question including who is arrested, what those charges mean in terms of the larger investigation, for the last 6 months robert mueller's investigation significantly expanded to include individuals only tangentially related to russian interference in the election. later this summer fbi agents raided the home of trump campaign chairman paul manzo baeza before it for alleged money laundering, and neither he nor anyone on his legal team were informed of the indictment, something that would typically happen of charges were filed. another target of the investigation by national security adviser michael flynn over allegations he attempted to work with russian hackers during

the election, with hillary clinton's emails. haven't received any response, two of the biggest targets that we know of, justice department officials say we don't know enough about this indictment to say how it works in this investigation. >> how collateral the indictment is to the interference. it could be any number of things. if it is one off, destroying documents, could have an effect in terms of telling other witnesses you better cooperate or we will come after you. >> reporter: robert mueller was given broad powers to investigate anything that comes up in the course of the investigation even if not related to election meddling. we have seen that going into a

number of areas including finances of donald trump and his aides and their contacts with russian officials. former justice department officials tell me it is possible this is the result of a groundbreaking discovery, it could be a tool to get more information in one part of the investigation. the identity of those being charged shed light on what direction they are going. >> for more on this let's bring in the associate editor for the wall street journal, thank you for being here. this is fascinating news, we don't have a lot of details but what could it mean? what could the charges be? >> reporter: you did a good job summarizing what we do know, which is a charge was brought friday and there could be an

arrest as early as monday. it is sealed. we don't know a great deal more. we don't know a lot of things, the identity of the person charged or what those charges are, the scope, the topic, the direction of where the investigation might go may or may not give an indication of that. what we do know is we are not at the beginning of this and not at the end, we are at the next step, last summer, a year ago, this was the beginning of the combination of that, people in and charge them and how this is used for leverage, bring one person in, indicates the scope of the charges against them and get information about others. >> my next question, what does this say about where we are in the investigation? we are somewhere in the middle. what is the next step? we don't know if it is one

person or more than one person, what happens with that individual, how this could -- and chooses to share additional information. >> that could happen and you may see subsequent charges of other individuals close to that. who is at fault? manafor it denied wrongdoing, flynn denied wrongdoing, is it something the kushner family did? the district attorney is investigating the kushner family business who denied wrongdoing, trading investments for immigration status. what avenue is it taking? we don't know but as you point out, mueller has extraordinarily broad opportunity here for investigation, it does not have to be about donald trump's campaign and russia. it could be obstruction of

justice, did donald trump seek to obstruct the investigation? one we do know is this investigative team, on money laundering and paul manafort being investigated. >> you talk about where this could go, brought investigative powers, when talking about people getting in trouble, important people getting in trouble does this mean charges are pretty solid? if the government comes forward and charges someone who is well-connected they have a good legal team. does this mean charges are likely to be solid? powerful people have excellent attorneys on the other side of this. >> you would think so. this is as high-profile an investigation as either of us can remember others in the watergate investigation. i am sure there are others.

from a political standpoint, this is rather extraordinary. a special investigator, a sitting president, the people around the president, you would think it would have been stress tested at a minimum and the other side is going to vehemently oppose it. whether that -- it is substantive or the person guilty, we don't know. this is the beginning of that. the process of prosecution will determine that. >> you talk about taxes and money and big businesses and trading with international entities, could it be someone was caught up in this, bad business dealings, tax problems, this is someone we haven't paid attention to, heard a lot about

and not have much to do with any sort of russian involvement? >> that is possible because the investigation has gone broad. is it a small fish? somebody who hid the money they made overseas, not a big well-known figure? you have to wonder whether mister mueller would take the step of indicting a small fish unless he was fishing for a bigger fish. >> we will see if that is part of the strategy as things are unfolded, we are in the middle of this and not near the end. thank you for joining us and bringing us your insight. appreciate it. >> we are learning about the source of the controversial trump dossier compiled in the presidential campaign, the washington free beacon, conservative publication, hired fusion gps to research trump and other candidate in the

republican primary. byron york discussing the timeline of events with sean hannity. >> the whole russia part of the trump dossier, alleging conclusion with russian this was funded by the hillary clinton campaign and the democratic national committee but we had always known that earlier than that, several months earlier in late 2015, a republican group funded opposition research not about russia but opposition research into donald trump and other candidates and tonight i reported who it was, the washington free beacon. >> reporter: democrats are saying this dossier is nothing more than opposition research, but the trump administration and this white house call it collusion plane and simple. >> congress spent the better part of a year, all your news organization spend a lot of

money on this as well which we consider probably a pretty big waste. i think our position hasn't changed since day one. we are seeing if there was any collusion with russia it was between the dnc and the clintons and not our campaign. >> the revelations this week, the clinton campaign and the dnc paid for this dossier and that a pretty good week for the trump administration, the budget passed the house after her passing the senate, leaving the groundwork for 11/$2 trillion tax cut and tax reform. the administration's top priority, the house ways and means committee is expected introduce the bill sometime next weekend you can expect one of the big outstanding issues to be what is going to happen with much people can contribute to

their 401(k) pretax, something to watch out for next week as this bill makes its way through the house and today donald trump has been talking very positive numbers with the economy. he said very normal reporting about great gdp numbers announced yesterday, 3% despite the hurricane hit, best consecutive quarters in the years. donald trump feeling pretty good today as he spent another saturday at his golf course in virginia but behind the scenes, i imagine a lot of folks very focused on the big news over the last 24 hours, report special counsel filed its first charges as early as monday. >> james matus warns of rising tensions with north korea with a visit to south korea. matus says the threat of a

nuclear attack from the rogue regime is accelerating adding the us military is ready to defend itself and its allies. >> i could not imagine in light of kim's expanded outlaw activities, the world has experienced, observed over the past year or two, cannot imagine a condition under which the united states could accept north korea as a nuclear power. we must recognize the reality this is a regime threatens peace and stability, certainly directly against the people of the are okay. our combined effort is to dieter that sort of threat or to have military option this, many different military options that would realistically reduce that threat as low as possible and we

do have those options. >> donald trump will visit south korea when he embarks on a 12 day trip to asia next week. >> police in tampa, florida releasing new video their hunt for a possible serial killer. surveillance footage shows a man in the same neighborhood at the same time the first victim was shot and killed. the potential clue putting some neighbors at ease. >> i feel better -- they have -- they are seeking as much information as they can to the best of their ability. >> more on this from new york city newsroom. >> imagine living in seminole heights, tampa, as police and fbi are searching for the person responsible for gunning down three people within half a mile of one another in a span of ten

days in your neighborhood. given that it is halloween, kids and families go out to trick or treat, 20 people from the anticrime group called the guardian angels are patrolling the neighborhood sundown to sunrise all we have investigators knock on doors to get a sense of who is living in the neighborhood and gathering more potential surveillance video from homes that could capture the killer who gunned down these young innocent people. the third victim on your screen will be laid to rest, he was mildly autistic and got off at the wrong bus stop and was gunned down october 19th she just blocks away from where 22-year-old benjamin mitchell was shot and killed waiting for a bus on october 9th, two days later 32-year-old monica hoffa was murdered. tampa police tell us they received 144 tips thursday, the day they released this new surveillance video of a, quote, person of interest. the video was taken the night of the first letter october 9th, shows the man walking with a

hoody and white pants and running in the opposite direction on a street close to the scene of the murder. the same time as the murder of benjamin mitchell. pay attention to the man's right hand, police believe this could be a habit that could identify the person in the video. >> let me be clear. not saying this person is a suspect, why after this long we have this video, why have they not come forward, we believe this person has ties to this neighborhood and we want to speak to the. >> a difficult case, there is no motive, no suspect, possible serial killer on the loose. >> anybody who knows that guy will recognize him even if the rest of us have no idea. >> given the habit.

>> controversial uranium one deal, following hillary clinton's tenure as secretary of state, what happens next? we will discuss. the less secret files of the jfk assassination after being kept under wraps for 50 years, the release of hundreds of them will have to wait a little longer. how donald trump is reacting. >> this weekend, working every way possible to expedite the production of these documents as completely as possible and there will be a complete reveal from the fbi. witness katy perry.

witness katy perry become a legal witness. witness katy perry and left shark. or a card shark. grandma? witness katy perry work. witness katy perry firework.

witness katy perry swish. witness katy perry... aaaaaaw look at that dog! katy perry: with music videos and behind the scenes footage, xfinity lets you witness all things me. >> new information on the secret jfk files, 2800 documents released this week but many were not released, donald trump wants the public to have access to all of them. >> time to get done, talks with the fbi, with our staff, the president is right, let's get this material out, moving today, some documents have been produced today and will be moved faster and will not be any significant reduction this may

have been suggested. there will be virtually complete disclosure. some people who are alive, don't need their names her current address is revealed. a lot of extraneous entirely. >> the author of case closed, thanks for being with us. >> you just had that looking at jeff sessions, 16 years old when jack kennedy was killed. 16-year-old check sessions could not have imagined 54 years later he would be talking about releasing the final jfk files. >> all the files of not been released. the president promised full disclosure. what stopped him? >> he got tripped up with a speed bump put out by the fbi and the cia. those agencies know how to play the game well to the strict

letter of the law in terms of holding the deduction as long as we can. they don't want to release them and here they are five decades later holding on to the last vestige of the kennedy assassination. what do they do? come in thursday and made their final objections putting the president in a difficult spot, either he waves his hand and says release them all in which case some confidential information could hurt somebody or let's hold them all and that is what he had to do but he was not pleased from all reports. >> can you shed light on what intelligence agencies are worried about? >> i was over the fact they were concerned somebody was an informant for the maybe in mexico, trying to get to cuba seven weeks before the assassination. cia informants back then, could be 80 years old but seems like more. some of the operations in the 60s buying another embassies, to

help the mexican government, some went on in the 70s, 80s, government officials that are retired, could be embarrassing to them. in the united states, hold onto these after so long. >> this could add fuel to the conspiracy 5 because their stuff out there we are not being told about. >> no question. the american public looks at this and says why are they holding onto this? don't go into the nuances, why this has to be like that but they have something to hide and did a disservice to the american public on this, the warren commission, 5 million pages came out since oliver stone's film in 1991, not what he is focused on.

>> they released 2800 documents so what stood out so far. >> 2800 documents, they came from the stack was never seen before. 2750 were documented and released in the past in which they had some names blacked out and are released with no reductions so they released 52 new files. we learn the degree to which the cia was petrified of telling the fbi and warren commission, the details of what was going on in mexico, the warren commission learned about oswald, what the cia was worried about was not oswald stopping the case but if they shared with the warren commission they had telephones, wire surveillance and video surveillance, that would leak out so they had that information and you see that panic and concern.

j edgar hoover's concern as jack ruby who killed lee harvey oswald two days after the assassination, and conspiracy theories will go on forever. >> if there was a smoking gun wouldn't we have heard about it by now? >> i think you are absolutely right. the reason, if you look at the past major public opinion poll in the 50th anniversary, 29% of americans thought it was a loan assessment, 50% conspiracy, the number is as close as it has been since the assassination, 90% after stone. people are saying 54 years, where is the deathbed confession, the evidence, the guilty conscience, where is that piece of credible evidence? >> thanks very much. >> a conservative website saying it initially paid for the research done by the same organization later paid by

democrats leading to the creation of the controversial anti-trump dossier. does this change anything? our panel is on deck was short-lived victory for catalonia. after declare independence from spain the latest on the country's political turmoil coming up. >> a historic day for us. where's gary?

>> washington free beacon, a conservative website says it initially paid for the research done by fusion gps on republican candidates in the 2016 campaign but denied there was contact with knowledge of, provided payment for any work performed by christopher steele, the infamous file funded by the dsc and the clinton campaign. a former advisor to governor k sick and manager of mercury. the initial cliffhanger, the dossier was revealed, the clinton campaign and the other cliffhanger, involved in the

initial funding in the organization. now we find out the washington free beacon, doesn't matter at this point and they deny having anything to do with the actual dossier down the road. >> this is nothing new. we knew this a year ago this month, came out in mother jones, the dossier and it was paid for by republicans and democrats, this is not to. enough of the information corroborated by the facts of this investigation about trump and the work of the republicans, two attempts at collusion, don junior and paul manaforte and russian agents at trump tower, came out this week, trump's data team attempting to meet and collude with wikileaks

functioning as part of the russian intelligence agency allowing -- the facts are still coming out, the truth is coming out. don't think it makes a difference if we know more details than the same fact we know you're ago. >> we are following the money, who paid for what and now we find out the republican website funding the same organization denying having anything to do with the dossier, steel got involved and all the democrats, it doesn't matter democrats paid for that does as isaac mentioned, may have led to this further investigation. >> where is the shock, people are shocked, but i agree with isaac. i don't think it makes that much difference. fact will come out, from my perspective i think this is really terrible legislative and

political policy or strategy on the republican side, every time we really the gate the 2016 election we put ourselves back in that boat and take our eye off the ball, this will be immensely difficult. every lobbyist will flood the halls of capitol hill and i don't think the republican side is ready for this. let's paint a picture why it is important and focus on that wrapper in the 2016 election. >> you bring up something interesting. one side russia collusion, the other is opposition research and vice versa so here we are, nasty dirty research was under investigation is underway, someone getting arrested by monday. when taxpayers look at all this nastiness is it just disheartening to them? >>, correct the premise of that?

there was a premise one person at opposition research is another person's collusion. opposition research was paid by a us company, us owned company, us citizen for opposition research. that is not the same as a candidate's campaign manager and a son-in-law going to solicit help from a foreign government, that is -- under us law, foreign governments cannot influence our election. it is clear in the law, what is legal and not legal in opposition research purchased from that is pretty standard practice, republicans and democrats, only one example here of assad trying to collude and we know two instances where this was attempted with a foreign government. >> he raises an interesting point. essentially steel got involved

after the democrats got involved, the dnc was involved in the clinton campaign and contact with the kremlin or the russians. as we look at this, that is where we ask does it matter? if there was a crime that was committed, all this disheartening stuff that goes on in politics leads to something, does it matter? >> there are not a lot of honorable men in washington, bob mueller is one. i happen to the debate is playing into democrats hands. we have to wake up and see, if we want tax reform, lower the tax burden, tell people why this will better their lives, focus on that. this palace intrigue is what places their hands. i would rather debate tax reform and closing loopholes and those things and that will be better for the republican side because we are right on the issue.

>> saying things were leading, the clinton campaign pays for foreign entities to get involved and the kremlin gets involved and that information is passed to the fbi and leads to investigation and there is no crime. >> that didn't happen. nobody has said that. fusion gps is located in washington. no one has said that. it is not even floating out there. the tax debate, i disagree on the politics of that. republican tax plan puts forth what was analyzed, they have alluded to with taxes over the course of the year, raising the middle-class 50 to 90,000, raised their taxes to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest 1%, republicans would prefer to talk about another issue, given the fact we know of so far.

>> a shifting conversation, people are he sensually around the country, looking towards the next thing since the 2016 election and the mueller investigation as it begins, we are in the middle of it or at the beginning of an arrest. as things move forward will we ultimately be able to respond? >> i don't think that is going to happen because i don't democrats want that or the trump administration either. i really believe in conservative policies. i want to talk about these things. this strategy didn't work when we tried to fund healthcare and it won't break when we are trying to reform the tax code which is so vital and so screwed up in this country, let's do it which i am pessimistic but i will keep fighting for that. >> thanks for joining me, it is interesting. washington does get bogged down sometimes and we will see if we

can report it from here. >> political turmoil in spain after lawmakers in catalonia declared independence, their victory short-lived as the spanish government quickly moves to seize control of that region. kitty logan has the latest. >> reporter: the spanish government effected a clause in the constitution which allows it to control the region or take back control and remove leaders from power. it dismissed the catalonian president for his position as leader but he shows no sign of backing down, speaking to reporters calling for peaceful transition continuing the probe independence point. the spanish prime minister dissolved the catalonian parliament following a vote by the parliament to declare independence.

spain says this is not a legal process but that independence votes parts relations from pro-independence supporters outside the parliament but there are real doubts whether this independence could ever become reality. they were quick to say they would not recognize an independent catalonia but in response and in defiance, some spanish and eu were removed from buildings, the referendum held on oktoberfest legitimizes catalonia's independence but this is a divisive issue across spain. many who oppose independence did not vote in a referendum and thousands in unified spain took to the streets yesterday, many saying they will continue protests until the crisis is resolved. the spanish government is confident catalonia will respect spanish law and call for new regional elections in december.

investigate. on the house judiciary and oversight committee, thanks for being with us. >> the president suggested this is clinton may have done this for huge donations to the clinton foundation's. >> it doesn't pass the smell test. president clinton getting a $500,000 speech in russia about that time, imagine that now. >> that was far more than he normally got. >> almost ten times what he normally gets. >> while the deal was being investigated. >> mrs. clinton was one of 9, being at the table, secretary of state, your opinion will carry a lot of weight in the room. it doesn't smell like him.

one thing the government is constantly doing, the state department's a big message they are trying to get out is the rule of law. to be successful, a country has to have laws and abide by them and not take bribes from high-level officials. this goes against the entire message our government is preaching to the world. >> that seems like something that would be very difficult to prove. >> the evidence could be there, needs to be fully investigated and that is why our committee and congress will take a look at it. >> what do you expect might come out of this investigation, how do they proceed? >> you follow the money, talk to some of the people involved and there needs to be a special counsel. i have a problem with the mueller special counsel for a variety of reasons you have been talking about all afternoon. you need to have the resources to fully investigate this.

>> may seem like a dumb question. in the us. >> we don't want global adversaries to control critical resources on uranium. they are hanging on to that elsewhere in the world, let them do that. and helping out with or without our knowledge. >> you think there was some shady stuff going on. >> a lot over the past year, not only how money was fondling into the clinton family from the former president's speaking engagement but the clinton
