at the festivities in houston, a parade about to start down town to celebrate their first world series win and astro history. things are joining us on "the daily briefing," i'm dana perino, and here as always, shepard smith. >> shep: it's noon on the west coast, 3:00 in d.c., where senate democrats are now calling for the attorney general jeff sessions to explain himself. after two advisors appear to contradict him about campaign with russia. we learned while one of those advisors is still apparently cooperating with a special counsel, robert mueller. the attorney general also catching the criticism from his boss. president trump think he does not know about sessions at future. at the justice department doesn't have accusations that hillary clinton rick the primary system. the president said that's the real story on collusion. we will look at facts. as all this goes down here in united states. the president headed to asia where north korea's nuclear program, sitting atop the

agenda. the key concerns and what the white house may want to accomplish. and a judge ruled, no prison time for the armada server, bowe bergdahl. let's get to it. >> now, "shepard smith reporting" lie from the fox news deck. >> shep: first from the fox news deck, the attorney general jeff sessions facing new questions over members of the trump campaign, their connections to the russian and his failure to mention them. and senate democrats think they want the attorney general back in the hot seat to answer questions on the record about a pair of former campaign advisors. one of those advisors, george papadopolous, the man who admitted that he lied to the feds about his contact with the russians during the presidential campaign. from the special counsel's office, papadopoulos who circled here, suggested during this meeting last march that he could use his russian connections to arrange a get-together with

putin and then candidate trump. a source tells fox news and sessions, who was still a senator at the time, immediately rejected it and moved on to other issues. so far no comment. and for president trump, he was the one who originally posted the image, this image, on social media calling it a national security meeting, but today, the president tries to downplay that meeting. >> i don't remember much about that meeting. it was a very unimportant meeting and took place a long time ago. don't remember much about it. >> shep: book white house has also tried to downplay papadopoulos and his role in the camping, casting him off as a low-level volunteer. and then there's carter page, a former foreign policy advisor. fox news learned that carter paid yesterday told the house intelligence committee that he let jeff sessions know about the trip he was taking to russia. he said it was completely unrelated to his role in the campaign. back in july, jeff sessions told senate intelligence committee that they need to know whether

page had traveled to russia. the big issue with both is what sessions actually knew versus what he's been saying all year. one example during sessions' confirmation back in january, listen. >> if there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the trump campaign communicated with the russian government and the course of this campaign, what will you do? >> senator franken, i'm not aware of any of those activitie activities. i have been called a surrogate as a time or two and that came, and i did not have communications with the russians. and i'm unable to comment on it. >> shep: just a couple weeks ago, senator franken, once again, pressed the attorney general over trump surrogate in their communications with russia. >> is that what you're saying saying, you don't believe that surrogates from the trump campaign had communications with the russians? is that what you're saying? >> i did not and i'm not aware

of anyone else that did. and i don't believe it happen. >> you don't believe in that? >> shep: i don't believe it happened and now lawmakers want sessions to clear this up. the chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge live in washington. >> the senate hearing in october, attorney general sessions was pressed by senior republican on the russian contact. >> did you ever overhear a conversation between you and anyone on the campaign who talked about meeting with russians? >> i am not seeing anything that would indicate a collusion with russians to impact the campaign. >> senior democrats put out statements today calling on sessions to return to the fill to the senate judiciary committee to clarify his earlier testimony. at the very least, they say there appears to be inconsistencies and -- i look element of the ongoing

investigation have brought to light evidence that you failed to tell the truth about your interactions with russian operatives during the campaign, as well as your awareness of russian contacts. it's a little more complicated than that, in the sense that it was an exchange between franken and sessions that really got the ball rolling on this issue. sessions said he found franken's question kind of long-winded and confusing, and a news report that said sessions was unfamiliar with at the time. >> shep: catherine, what else did carter page tell lawmakers? >> carter page has been telling fox news that since march this year that the russia conference that he attended was unrelated to the campaign, and after he took questions behind closed doors on the hill yesterday, he said the real story here is the trump two trump dossier paid for by the dnc and clinton campaign. >> it was terrific to have the opportunity to help clear the

record as to the falsehoods from the dodgy dossier that started this whole thing against me in the final two months before the election. >> here's the thing that seems to be a conflict over whether sessions told the senate intelligence committee privately that he didn't know about this meeting that page had in russia, when sessions has now told the lawmakers that they did discuss in and at the time it did not set off any alarm bells. >> shep: we've gotten word of a trial date for the former trump campaign manager, paul manafort, and the former campaign aide, rick eights. this is known in the last hour. >> in the last hour, amy berman jackson issued an order with a trial date of may 7th and that's important because it means a court action will run up against the campaigning for the midterm election. we were at washington's district court yesterday went made a fort his business partner rick gates waived the right to a speedy trial sometime in the late spring. paul manafort's lawyers say that they challenge the legal basis of the charges against him and

the validity of the first warrant for his virginia home for so much evidence was gathered. both men have pled not guilty to the charges. they will be back in court on monday where they will take up this issue again of the home confinement chart. >> shep: catherine herridge, good to see you. let's turn to the fox news sunday host, chris wallace. >> how are you? >> shep: great, thanks. lots of questions for jeff sessions, where do you see this? >> i think you have to make it a connection between the papadopoulos tour in carter page. papadopoulos is in one meeting, he says i've got some contacts and that i've use my contacts. sessions says he shut it down. you can really understand what he might not have remembered that. and if somebody saying, you know, i've got contacts i could use, this difference of the questions that he was asked about. you know about any contacts that took place? the carter page one is more troubling, simply because of the

fact that you carter page thing he told the house intelligence committee, one assumes under oath, that he's physically told jeff sessions that he was going to moscow. they we have a video just played a sessions saying that -- when asked specifically about carter page by the senate intelligence committee, saying no, we had never heard anything about carter paid going to moscow. that's a look at direct comp two contradiction. sessions was in a little trouble already because he had misspoken or misled the judiciary committee during the confirmation hearing when he said he had no contact with the russians. he then had to go back and cleared up and said i had not met with the russian ambassador and recused himself from the russia investigation. when he specifically asked a question about carter page, if he didn't remember, you would think that he would've run back and searched his memory and immediately cleared off and corrected the record. he didn't do that. i would think that carter page

aspect of this is more troubling. >> shep: is at another one of these to come up to capitol hill and get grilled and grandstanding and all that kind of business? what will you anticipate? >> it depends. if the democrats calling for it. republicans control the community. i wonder if it's a political matter. if you're a democrat, you want jeff sessions to be forced out of office or to give a president an excuse to fire him? he's recused himself from the russia investigation. what happens if you get a new attorney general and at the democrats can't blame the president because they are the ones pushing them out? and then this new guy comes and says guess what, i'm not recused from russia. i think the democrats might want to be careful what they ask for. >> shep: what do you make of the claim that hillary clinton hijacked the primary? >> well, i have to say it's very shocking it has a lot of credibility. here you have donna brazile, who after debbie wasserman schultz was kicked out of the dnc and out her new book is saying, i

then saw this agreement and was completely unaware of and it basically gave hillary clinton large control over the democratic national committee before a contested primary with bernie sanders. the sanders camp was complaining all along that the dnc had its finger on the scale and was trying to help clinton in terms of when they schedule debates and how many debates and things like that. here's the later succeeding the dnc chairwoman saying, it was true. and then you have a list with warren yesterday going on television and agree with donna brazile that the primary was rigged. as a real push back, i will tell you against clinton and debbie wasserman schultz and the democrats. the energy in the democratic party right now is in the left wing with bernie sanders come up with elizabeth warren. this adds fuel to the fire of them saying we got robbed of a 2016 primary. >> shep: based on the exits of the book to have come out, does

this rise to the level of the illegal? where is it? >> parties are generally given pretty broad control over how they run their primaries. the one question would be, or their false filings to the federal election commission, in terms of if there was a financial arrangement. it was all of that disclosed publicly? i don't know if that's a civil penalty or a criminal what. i don't think it's a conspiracy or something like that. it might be false filing. the real impact of this is going to be political. one of the really interesting things that donna brazile is a big supporter of hillary clinton. she's the one that gave the cnn question to the clinton camp before she became an official in the dnc. the fact that she is now trashing, throwing hillary clinton under the bus, gives you an indication that the

clintons future in the democratic party may be behind them. >> shep: politically speaking, what's your assessment of the state of the rnc in dnc these days? >> i haven't thought about that. >> shep: power seems to have gone to that extreme, as you mentioned. the power of the democrat is on the left of the power with republicans is in this new populace something. the structures don't seem to have what they once did. >> i would say on the republican side, i think that's very much in doubt. i think they will have a real battle for control of the republican party. it isn't so much the rnc, it's where the weight will be in the party. you certainly have the bannon wing, who's going to try and get people like wymore and alabama and other states get insurgents to be more populous republicans and very much proposed people like mitch mcconnell, the senate majority in leader. the republican establishment is fighting back and there has

millions of dollars opposing the challengers and going out to receive bannon personally. eyes and the white nationalism. that will be a battle fought out throughout 2018 and all of primaries. >> shep: how was her to sit down with paul ryan? >> he is my guest. we sat down with him. there we are walking together. ryan's the guy on the left. i know some people might think he's the guy on the right. it's a very interesting. he had very interesting things to say about hillary clinton and interesting news he makes about the tax bill and a new things that might be added to it. you won't want to miss "fox news sunday." i know you never do, shep. >> shep: great to see you, chris. >> good to see you. help are the rebels doing? >> shep: you be nice. >> we haven't talked about that much this year. >> shep: we've been busy. we will have quite a basketball season and a fantastic baseball

season. >> is that what you're actually working on fridays this year? >> shep: i don't work too many fridays. i work as few as possible. after 22 years, you do get a little bit of vacation. speak up you take a lot of pride. this football season, you haven't. >> shep: i would take it off if i could, but i can't, so i won't. i think these people back here would love it if we all get a friday off. are you volunteering your team for friday? it would make you very popular here, chris. >> we might be able to work something out. >> shep: tell her were thinking of her. the army surgeon, bowe bergdahl, who deserted his post in afghanistan spent years in ptolemaic custody, is getting at the dishonorable discharge. he's dropping down to space a mac private. his punishment includes absolutely no prison time. the details of that coming up from the fox news deck, on this,

the judge also gave him a dishonorable discharge, reduced his rank from sergeant to pride and said he must forfeit pay for ten months. sessions face up to life in prison after pleading guilty to desertion and misbehavior before the enemy. after he left his base, they captured him and held him for five years. they freedom in 2014 and a prisoner exchange with the obama administration. they recommended as a prison sentence for 14 years. they decided the service members who were seriously hurt while searching for bergdahl, but defense attorneys argued that bergdahl had already suffered enough during his time in captivity. our chief correspondent jonathan hunt with more on this now. >> good afternoon. president trump led the reaction to the decision to not give bowe bergdahl any prison time, and his response, as so often, was a blond. just 19 minutes after the sentence was announced, the president tweeted, "the decision of insurgent bowe bergdahl is a complete and total disgrace to

our country and to our military." bergdahl is a lawyer had been critical of president trump, prior to the stroke, in particular when he called him a traitor, in the lawyer remained critical of the trial ended. >> president trump, on principle efforts, to stoke a lynch mob atmosphere while seeking our nation's highest office, has cast a dark cloud over the case. every american should be offended by his assault on the fair administration of justice and his disdain for basic constitutional rights. >> the attorney also said, " "bergdahl was everyone a search for him in 2009." several of those involved in the search suffered serious injuries and for that reason alone, prosecutors had thought a stiff penalty. the judge did not explain how he arrived at this decision or how he balanced the time bergdahl

spent in captivity against the suffering of those who took part in searching for him. bergdahl apparently plans to appeal against the dishonorable discharge, so he will actually continue to serve until that appeals process and appeared his attorney says he's been through a terrible ordeal and, "glad it's over." >> shep: jonathan hunt, thank you. president trump headed to asia where they will top the despite war fallout from it back in d.c. details on the president's trip right up. and that you looking live. houston's having a party today. anyway, it's -- of the actors are champions of the world! what an amazing world series until game 7. hopefully fox made billions off that. houston has had three championship rates in the history of its city in professional sports. this is one of them.

>> shep: president trump says he's extending his marathon trip to asia and adding an extra day in the philippines. he said so he can attend the east asia >> shep: president trump says he's extending his marathon trip to asia and adding an extra day in the philippines. he said so he can attend the east asia summit with other world leaders. president trump 13 day trip is the longest by u.s. president and more than two back decades. the big issue on the agenda there, north korea. let's say the president has a chance to shift the focus away from the growing controversy over the rush investigation. the president making a quick stop before traveling to japan. from there he will visit south korea, china, vietnam, and

the philippines. during a jam-packed overseas trip, the president is expected to urge other countries to ramp up the pressure on north korea over its nuclear program. just today, north korea: the united states "imperialist warmongers." this is after u.s. officials told fox news, two to mend b-1 bombers flew with japanese and south korean fighter gents in a training area near the south korean peninsula. they're describing it as a surprise nuclear strike drill that accused the united states of trying to start a nuclear war. south korean official told the associated press, the drill did not involve any light weapons. jennifer griffin at the pentagon this afternoon. tell us more information about north korea's drills. speak out the problem with north korea's statement relates by the state run news as that the b-1 b farmers are not nuclear capable, nor are they filled. they hold the largest payload

but were not armed, as you mention. another error in the north korea statement is the b-1 fees did not actually fly over the korean peninsula. they were off the east coast according to that. they practice flying together and can expect more measures while the president is in asia, but the reaction of north korea shows that how easy it is that north korea can miss misread the u.s. intent, especially if they think the warplanes are nuclear capable in the art. the american b-1b bombers took off from guam last night and there was a big plant of training missing and there is no accident that coincided with the presidents trip to asia. >> shep: speaking of that, what to expect along the way here? >> the agency is now reporting that north korea could be preparing for another missile test. for the first time in a decade, three u.s. aircraft carriers will be in asia together and are expected to be off the coast of

the korean peninsula won the president visit south korea. h.r. mcmaster indicated yesterday that the administration is now considering returning north korea to the u.s. state sponsor of terror list. they were taking off that list at the end of the bush administration. he also said he didn't expect the president to my president to alter the language used to describe the north korean regime. >> shep: jennifer, thank you. more now on the presidents trip to asia peerless turned to the veteran colonist. hello. what do you think this trip? >> the president doesn't like to be away from home. it's the longest trip, as you've been saying, in decades. it's very long for president trump. it's a very sensitive trip. he has to strengthen his alliances, our alliances without

provoking any tensions there. he has to handle some kind of negotiation obviously on north korea with the chinese. and he has to resist making declarations that he can't follow up on like north korea is going to face the fire and fury if they continue to threaten us, the likes of which the world has never seen. even though north korea continues to threaten us, it doesn't seem to hold much wait. he has to be very careful in what he says on this trip. he has to resist focusing on everything that's happening at home. you know that the tax reform debate is jumping all around on capitol hill. the fighting there has really just begun. it's going to be a real test of the republican party, and president trump has to remain focused on his trip in asia and not reach weeding directions to the republican congress. he has to stay off -- take focus

off hillary clinton and the rush investigation and stay focused on his job overseas. >> shep: are just wondering if it's going to alter his tweeting schedule because this morning wf filler and a fresh dose of pocahontas to kick this trip off. what is the strategy and punching down pocahontas? >> i think that he believes, as many people do come out that elizabeth warren is a leader of the democratic party and a challenger to him in 2020. he likes to go after her. it really anything is a useful distraction these days. obviously mueller's targeting tony podesta. the revelation that donna brazile, the interim chair of the dnc, wrote the political yesterday which is part of a book that's coming out and blames hillary clinton's campaign for hijacking the dnc

and controlling and rigging the outcome against bernie sanders in a primary. these are all topics that rallied the base. take focus off of the fact that we had just gotten through these three indictments of guilty pleas. sessions had different accounts of what he knew or didn't know about russian contacts with this campaign. trump is a very, very focused on russia, but really wants to keep the conversation on hillary clinton. >> shep: have a great weekend! see you soon ab. unemployment, man, it's the lowest level in nearly two decades. the number of new jobs on the market coming up shorter than expected. the details and the outlook, that's next on the fox news deck. the musical

real and are driven almost exclusively by human activity. climate change is happening, mostly because of the fuels we burn for energy. fuels that emit greenhouse gases like carbon to dioxide. this was before today. this new report is notable because the white house is said to not have tried to block it. the study found that rising temperatures will increase the levels by at least several inches in the next 15 years, and that temperature rise will continue depending on how much carbon dioxide be put put into the atmosphere. some mixed news out of the latest jobs report. unemployment falling to its lowest level in 17 years. right now 4.1%, that's full employment. the labor department reports they've added just 261,000 jobs last month. that's about 50,000 fewer than they'd expected. analysts say lots of those jobs could have been in service industry. they say that hurricanes forced thousands of businesses,

including restaurants and bars, two right. house lawmakers are said to make changes to the g.o.p. tax bill. kevin brady says that he's going to make an amendment to improve the bill. congressman brady says the bill should be ready for committee vote next thursday. some republican lawmakers have already said they are against this bill unless some changes are made. our chief congressional correspondent, mike emanuel live up on capitol hill. what more do we know about this? >> kevin brady says scrapping obama cares individual mandate is as top part of tax reform could be an adjustment. >> the president is very strong about including this at some stepped before the final process, and he told me that my phone and once in person. >> that would definitely added revenue to tax reform. there are some here on capitol hill who worry about mixing obamacare with tax reform, making things much more complicated.

>> shep: what about folks from high tax states? >> we hear it from a lot of people from new york or new jersey fighting for the status quo to keep the state and local tax deductions. >> i think we should keep the deductibility of state and local taxes. it's been in the tax code since 1913. in new jersey says a lot more revenue to washington and then we received back. i don't want to exacerbate that situation. >> they say those deductions were on the chopping block back in the 1980s and survive. he hopes that the case again. >> shep: mike emanuel on the hill. president trump today put pressure on the justice department to investigate hillary clinton. >> they should be looking at a lot of things and a lot of people are disappointed in the justice department, including m me. >> shep: this comes after the former interim chair of the democratic national committee, donna brazile, wrote in her new

book that the dnc favored hillary clinton and his presidential primaries. according to donna brazile, clinton gave money to the dnc for joint fund-raising, giving her an edge over bernie sanders. in her book, brazile called the deal unethical but certainly not illegal. the currency met current dnc chair and sent out a note to his members think that the joint fund-raising agreement with the same for both the clintons and the sanders campaign. kristin fisher's live at the white house. >> what president trump is saying that this is the real collusion. forget about his campaign in russia. he wants the fbi and the justice department to investigate the clinton campaign's alleged collusion with the dnc and the details in the former chairwoman's new book. she says if the fight had been fair, one campaign would not have control of the party before the voters had decided what they wanted to lead to. this is not a criminal act, but as i saw it, they compromise the

party's integrity. president trump tweeted about this eight times a day before departing on his trip to russia. -- excuse me, to asia pretty told the justice department and fbi that they must "write improper but." right before boarding air force one, he said they're not supposed to get involved. >> i don't know. i'm really not of all of the justice department. i'd really like to run itself. honestly, they should be looking at the democrats. >> on the one hand he's saying he knows that he should allow blip justice department investigations to remain independent from the executive branch, but shep, in this case, he can't seem to help himself from staring them in this direction. >> shep: what are you hearing from democrats? >> >> she says it shows president trump content for the rule of law, we can't allow ourselves to become numb to the

president to call on law enforcement to investigate his political opponents. this blip in particular is what has some democrats so concerned. >> the saddest thing is that because of the president of the united states, i'm not supposed to be involved with the justice department. i'm not supposed to be involved with the fbi. i'm not supposed to be doing the kind of things that i would love to be doing. i'm very frustrated by it. >> again, we have president trump saying he knows he shouldn't get involved, but shep, he continues to do so. >> shep: kristin fisher at the white house, thanks. president trump responding after twitter confirmed an outgoing employee intentionally deactivated his account. the president tweeted, my account was taken down for 11 minutes by a rogue employee. i guess the word must be finally getting out and having an impact. that happened last night around 6:45 p.m. eastern time. if you search for the president handle, he found this page.
