11:00 am
>> president trump taking aim at hillary clinton. new reports that senior white house advisor jared cushner failed to disclose emails. hello. welcome inside america's news headquarters >> great to be with you. 2:00 p.m. eastern. hope you are having a great saturday at home. president firing back at clinton on -- you guessed it -- twitter, saying --
11:01 am
>> kristen, how many times is this now that the president says that he hopes that hillary clinton runs again in three years? >> i don't have enough fingers, right? 2016 just won't go away, but neither will these russia investigations as well, either the special counsel probe or congressional investigations on capitol hill and today we're learning that the top republican and democrat on the senate judiciary are accusing president trump's son-in-law and jared cushner of not being fully forthcoming with some documents in regards to their investigation. senators chuck grassley and dianne feinstein said that he failed to turn over documents about two things -- wiki leaks
11:02 am
and a back door dinner invite. senators say that cushner received an email and then forwarded it to other campaign officials. and that could be problematic because it could be different from what he testified to that committee just a few months ago. cushner's attorney pushing back, saying that his client has been fully responsive to all requests -- >> so end of story, according to kushner's attorney. so far, president trump hasn't directly responded to any of that, nor would you expect him to, since it's an ongoing investigation. today he's more focused on what hillary clinton said last night
11:03 am
in two separate interviews, she blasted him and roy moore for refusing to apologize to the women who have accused him of sexual assault and harassment. she also went so far as to question the legitimacy of his victory in the wake of the alleged russian interference. so president trump fired back on twitter by saying -- >> hard to believe that's what we have, three more years. >> and it's already starting with all the fun bill and hillary clinton speaking at about 5:30 eastern later today. coverage on that as it happens. kristen, thank you. julie has a little bit more. >> kushner's lawyer is pushing back saying that he has not been
11:04 am
forthcoming. an attorney for trump's son-in-law claims there were no missing documents as lawmakers allege. thank you for talking to us, john. >> pleasure. >> there's been inconsistencies when it comes to the stories of many of trump's associates and family members. many of them do not come from political backgrounds, to be fair. so when they don't disclose certain things, for example, in their security clearance forms and now this, do they get a little bit of slack? >> i don't think so. the judiciary committee is saying, no slack. and they're saying, look, when we ask you for any communications having to do with russia, we really need it. we want you to go into your email queue and search "russia." anything that pops up, we want to see it. the reason we want to see it, we're investigating whether there was any collusion between the campaign and russia. we're also investigating the extent to which the russians
11:05 am
interfered in the election. we're looking for all of the documents the lawyer is saying, and our reporter in washington has a story on-line at wsj.com, saying, look, this was not a direct contact on the part of jared kushner. some of this fell under government documents and so you have to go a different route to get to those rather than appealing to jared kushner directly. but the judiciary committee is saying, you haven't been forthcoming. there are things in youour queu that we want to see and want to read it now. we don't want you to make judgments on what we should or shouldn't have. >> in a lawyer to senators, contention that mr. kushner's production of documents and emails to congressional committees in july had "fully responded to the request." >> and then he went on to
11:06 am
explain why the documents are still there, but they interpr interpreted it as insignificant. the judiciary committee is saying, we would like to see the documents and we, the people investigating, will determine whether or not they're significant or not. it's been a problem with the campaign and a problem with the administration. jeff sessions also faced this. there are discoveries that come out later on about additional context with russia that are raising suspicions on the committees investigating this, certainly with mr. mueller, investigating this as well, former f.b.i. director. and it leads people to wonder about the voracity and truthfulness of the administration. >> and he said that donald trump jr.'s email was forwarded to kushner. at the time when there was that
11:07 am
meeting between kushner and those who were apparently trying to draw up some dirt on hillary clinton, the intention of that meeting was to draw up dirt. some argue that that's not conclusion, that it's an intent to dig up dirt and nothing more. are we to read more into this? >> you can see compelling arguments on both sides, can't you? at the end of the day, it will be up to the legal experts to decide. remember, it was dirt that would be provided by the russians. and -- >> to be fair, to dig up dirt on an opponent, that's perfectly fine. >> and whether or not it somehow crosses a legal line, we'll have to see. let those who are much more familiar with the law determine that. it would seem, though, wouldn't it, that digging up dirt on your political opponent is a famous activity of american politics. the affinity of the administration for putin, for
11:08 am
russia, has perplexed the investigators and the american public and it leads to greater suspicion about what the activities might have entailed that we don't know of yet. >> what about wikileaks? he said that he had not provided an email regarding wikileaks. that's another sore subject being thrown around. >> yes, it is. and wikileaks was a provider of email to the russians. mr. kushner forwarded an email within the campaign. this was follow the an instance where mr. kushner apparently -- doesn't appear to be -- where he was communicating directly with wikileaks or making any plans for how to release the documents, but it was -- it was associated with that entire
11:09 am
experience. and so the committee is saying, why didn't you show us this? is it a smoking gun? who knows. probably not. but it's part of the investigation that the committee wants it have a more thorough handle on. >> where do you see this going? donald trump jr., not a politician, not an advisor to the president of the united states, then-candidate donald trump. jared kushner, much different story. so does jared kushner at some point decide that he might be too much of a distraction here? does the president decide that perhaps it's going to become more of a distraction than it's worth? what do you see -- what do you -- where do you think this is going? >> if you suggest that jared kushner step down and leave the white house, hasn't happened yet. they seem to be inclined to fight any suggestion otherwise. he was very much involved with the campaign, as was the son. he may not have had an official role, but he was involved in
11:10 am
communications regarding the campaign. so both of them will be microscopically inspected by the congressional committees, by mr. mueller's special prosecution. we're not at the end of this yet. we're in the information-gathering stage. so whether it leads to any forced resignation or curtailment of activity -- remember, jared kushner has a special security clearance in the white house. whether all that changes, we don't know yet. we don't know the legalities that might have been violated, if any. >> right. the investigation is far from over. john bussey, thank you very much. >> pleasure. >> in defiance of much of washington, republican officials in alabama are standing by their senate candidate. alabama governor said she will vote for roy moore even though
11:11 am
he faces allegations of sexual misconduct. pet peter doocy live in alabama >> we just heard from a group of religious leaders here in birmingham and they're trying to draw a line between what roy moore is accused of doing and what democratic senator al franken is accused of doing. >> al franken with an adult, admitted his wrong, apologized, and asked for acceptance and offered amends. roy moore has lied and lied and lied. he has not done any repentance, anything. >> some alabama clergy are standing behind moore, like david floyd, who says --
11:12 am
>> the governor also giving moore a boost. she said, even though she has no reason to doubt the women accusing moore of sexual misconduct, she thinks it's most important to vote for a senator that plans to promote a republican agenda. >> i will cast my ballot on december 12 and i do believe that the until -- nominee of the party is who i will vote for. we need to have a republican in the united states senate to vote on the things like supreme court justices and appointments that the senate has to confirm and make major decisions. that's what i plan to do is vote for the republican nominee, roy moore.
11:13 am
>> we don't know of any events roy moore is having today in alabama or tomorrow, but doug jones is having one here in birmingham. he just rolled up to a fish fry. we're going to pop in and try to ask him a few questions when he's done. we'll bring it to you later. >> worth asking, peter -- is doug jones focusing on the roy moore allegations when he's on the stump or is he trying to push that aside, focus on issues, and not address the moore allegations? >> he addresses it when he's asked about it and he's asked a lot about it by all the reporters that have a chance to see him. he's trying to focus on kitchen table issues and trying to do that to appeal to republicans who may not have voted for a democrat in alabama in their entire life but might be uncomfortable with moore and might be looking for somebody who is moderate. he's focusing on kitchen table
11:14 am
issues. that's his thing, his hashtag. talk about jobs, education, and try to keep his lead for another three weeks or so. >> to that point, we've seen a lot of big name democrats stay away -- chuck schumer, joe biden, president obama, staying away from the race for the issues you discussed. peter doocy, birmingham, alabama. thanks. >> all eyes on washington as we await a crucial vote on tax reform. it looks to be a bigger challenge in the senate. caroline shivley is live in d.c. with more. hi, caroline. >> hi there. there are some roadblocks in the form of a half dozen senators. here's what the administration is promising them. >> before this year is out, we're going to pass the largest tax cut in american history. >> step one, passing it in the house this week. they did it with about 10 votes to spare. next up, the senate version.
11:15 am
both house and senate bills give individual tax cuts. the senate version repeals the individual mandate of obamacare. it also gets rid of the deduction of state and local taxes. the house bill retains $10,000 in deductions. they cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 20%. >> the people's taxes that will go up are the rich people in high-tax states. but there's a lot of benefit of the new york economy of lowering the corporate rate to 20%. >> republicans want you to believe that the trickle-down tax breaks for the rich will pay for themselves. never have. they say they will create jobs and pay for themselves. neither is true. they never have. >> the six senators may vote no and that would sink the bill in the senate. rod johnson said that he will not vote for it in its current form. bob corker, john mccain senator
11:16 am
flake concerned it will add to the deficit. mitch mcconnell said he will take it to the floor after thanksgiving. president trump wants it on his desk by christmas. >> major automaker announcing a massive recall. we'll tell you why honda is pulling nearly one million minivans offer the road. the uranium one controversy heating up. hillary clinton responding to calls for a special counsel to investigate her role in the deal. you can't predict the market. but through good times and bad... ...at t. rowe price... ...we've helped our investors stay confident for over 75 years.
11:17 am
call us or your advisor. t. rowe price. invest with confidence.
11:18 am
11:19 am
11:20 am
11:21 am
>> a tugboat bumping into a u.s. navy destroyer near japan. the navy said the ship contained minimal damage and no sailors were injured. it was during an exercise. earlier this year, 17 u.s. sailors were killed in two separate collisions involving navy destroyers in the pacific. >> honda pulling 900,000 minivans off the road because the backseats could tip over if they're not latched properly. it covers the honda odyssey made since 2011. the japanese automaker said there are on-line instructions on how to secure the seats. less than 50 minor injuries have been reported. >> hillary clinton is set to speak alongside her husband tonight in celebration of the 25th anniversary of bill clinton's election. the event coming amid increasing controversy surrounding the uranium one deal. president trump and other republicans calling for a special counsel investigation into hillary clinton's role in the deal which gave russia control of 20% of america's uranium supply. clinton calls the whole thing a political stunt. >> this is such an abuse of power and it goes right at the rule of law. if they sent a signal that we're going to be like some dictatorship, authoritarian regime where political opponents will be unfairly, fraudulently
11:22 am
investigated, that rips at the fabric of the contract we have, that we can trust our justice system. >> joining us now, steven mulroy, former u.s. attorney eastern district of virginia and law professor university of memphis. you hear this intense rhetoric from hillary clinton. she's not brushing it off saying, no big deal. she's actively getting angry about it. does that show in one way or another that perhaps she's a little worried? >> i don't know if it shows she's worried. i just think it means she's angered that the president is going after a former political opponent. i think the important thing to remember here is the discussion of a special counsel seems a little bit of a stretch. you normally use a special counsel for a conflict of interest investigation where the
11:23 am
investigation might lead to a high-ranking official, so you are afraid that department of justice or f.b.i. official may be aggressive. i don't think we have that here. it seems like regular department of justice and f.b.i. procedures would probably suffice here. >> why the discussion of a special prosecutor? in some ways we heard the attorney general what about that down and say, i would only have a special prosecutor if i felt there was reasons for one. you are alluding to the idea that there's not reasons for one. flip that around, though. is there a reason, if you are the justice department, and obviously the justice department is led by the attorney general who is appointed by the president, is there a reason, perhaps, to avoid exactly the kind of defense that hillary clinton seems to be lining up? >> i think i see what you are saying. in order to combat perhaps allegations that the trump
11:24 am
administration is out to get hillary clinton, you try to avoid a special counsel so it appears to be independent. i think it's an interesting argument and theory. i think that one thing, though, there has to be sufficient evidence to begin an investigation in the first place, whether it's an independent counsel investigation or d.o.j.-f.b.i. investigation. as your network's shepheard smi reported, it doesn't look like there's much their there. the law didn't allow russia to export the uranium, so national security risks seem a little stretched here. and, of course, doesn't seem to be any actual evidence that she was originally involved in the decision. so i think you have to put that
11:25 am
in the mix as well. >> there were so many questions about the clinton foundation, how they were raising money, whether or not hillary clinton really recused herself from everything that there were potential conflicts. the clintons learned firsthand what the special counsel begins looking at and where it leads, often two different things. is there a reason for them to be worried here in perhaps the language we're hearing from them that is so vitriolic, that they don't want anyone looking into them? >> well, leland, whenever you have the president of the united states talking about going after you. whenever you have people in congress talking about a special counsel to be appointed with no other job but to investigate them. like they've been through this with kenneth starr in 1998. mr. trump is going through it right now. i think anybody would have to be worried. no sane person could avoid being a little bit nervous when
11:26 am
anyone's talking about that. as to whether there's enough evidence to warrant the investigation, i think we just need to wait and see. >> we know there's a lot of people looking into that for sure. professor, appreciate your time, sir, as always. we'll have more on the clinton speech at 5:30 p.m. we'll see if they answer any questions about this or face them, which would be news in and of itself. thank you, sir. julie? >> thank you. >> a tragic reminder on the dangers that our police officers face every day. manhunt under way after two police officers were killed in two separate states. the latest on the search for suspects, coming up next. plus, democrats continue to slam alabama senate candidate roy moore. as republicans hit a new target, minnesota senator al franken. are the scandals getting too politicized? our panel will debate, next.
11:27 am
11:28 am
11:29 am
but on the inside, i feel like chronic, widespread pain.
11:30 am
fibromyalgia may be invisible to others, but my pain is real. fibromyalgia is thought to be caused by overactive nerves. lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. i'm glad my doctor prescribed lyrica. for some, lyrica delivers effective relief for moderate to even severe fibromyalgia pain. and improves function. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions, suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worse depression, unusual changes in mood or behavior, swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. common side effects: dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain, swelling of hands, legs and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who've had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. with less pain, i can do more with my family. talk to your doctor today. see if lyrica can help.
11:31 am
>> some powerful political figures hit hard by scandal. democrats strongly criticizing alabama g.o.p. candidate roy moore. and republicans slamming democratic senator al franken over sexual misconduct allegations. are they really seeking change? >> dems are in an uproar over the whole roy moore scandal. and this al franken thing definitely couldn't have come at a worse time because democrats have been having a field day with the republicans in the spotlight. do they have the same argument? >> i think there's -- and i will defer to doug on his expertise in clinton world -- but with the
11:32 am
new pieces about re-evaluating president bill clinton's behavior in the light of how we're treating these accusations now, the environment is poisonous all around and there's great risk politically for everyone who gets involved in these storms because you never know where the next shoe is going to drop. >> this is unfortunately a case of he said-she said. a lot of the cases are 30 years old. in the case of bill clinton, republican g.o.p. national leaders have come forward saying that we believe -- mitch mcconnell included -- that the accusations are real, credible. which is interesting. bill clinton has been accused of sexual assault and even rape. and a lot of people questioned his accusers. so it almost seems like a double standard. >> i see it very differently, julie. first, bill clinton's case was fully litigated by a special
11:33 am
prosecutor, individual prosecutions, an impeachment process. it was 20 years ago. roy moore is running for election now. and i think mitch mcconnell is entitled, as are the people of alabama, to make a couldn't -- contemporaneus judgment. >> he was a former president. >> so was president h.w. bush. let's put it behind us and deal with what is today and those in office rather than playing gotcha -- >> you are not comparing apples to oranges. sexual assault and rape? >> look, there's been inconsistencies -- >> it's a little more serious. >> there-- in the stories that seen, involving juanita broderick and others that raise real doubts about what happened. i don't think that to relitigate them now in the absence of some
11:34 am
-- >> you're right. it's unfortunate that all of the women's traumas are being politicized, but that's politics. >> alleged traumas. >> alleged traumas. and now you are mentioning the word alleged. a lot of people on the left are aggravated that people are calling the al franken touching of the breasts alleged. there's a picture. >> it's not alleged. >> this woman was sleeping. there's no consent there. >> so it's not alleged. it happened. >> that picture is priceless. >> but a lot of democrats are upset because a lot of republicans are calling -- democrats, i'm sorry, saying it's alleged. it's not alleged. we have the photographic evidence. bill maher is a friend of al franken. he talked about this photo of al franken mock groping leann
11:35 am
tweeden. "al, it's creepy. and it's not science fiction." then he went on to say that franken doesn't deserve to lumped in with roy moore, harvey weinstein and president donald trump. >> well, we could spend all afternoon going case to case to case. but for today, i can say, i'm a democrat i believe in nonpartisanship. we have a congresswoman transendent as a republican but bipartisan. i hope we can agree what al franken did, what he acknowle e acknowledg acknowledged, he should leave, resign. >> i find it outrageous that anyone would defend him.
11:36 am
>> i'm not defending him. >> not you. bill maher. he is saying that he should not be lumped in with harvey weinstein and bill moore. no, we're not saying that you allegedly sexually assaulted a minor. that's not what this is about. sexual assault and harassment is that, assault, harassment. politicizing it is ridiculous. >> we have legal standards, doug alluded to certain legal standards. the impeachment was over perjury. >> paula jones was before sex. >> that's true. and there's all the political implications. so we live, exist in a political environment in which these charges will continue to fly back and forth and a great piece was written for fox news, saying eventually folks on both sides will filter out the noise because they will say, a pox on everyone's house. we have to return to the fact
11:37 am
that we have to get our issues and our agenda represented. as a republican, i would like to see someone other than roy moore in alabama representing our agenda. >> but that will not happen before the election. >> it appears not. as a reasonable person, i hope doug jones wins because this man should not be in the senate. i'm not saying he did or didn't do anything. it's clear to me from what i've seen and heard, we can do better than him. >> thank you, both. >> thank you. >> interesting. >> police are searching right now through the weekend for two gunmen in two separate killings of police officers this week. an 18-year veteran of the baltimore police was fatally shot in the head as he was working a case in a high-crime area of that city. in pennsylvania, another officer gunned down after a routine traffic stop went bad and turned
11:38 am
into a footchase. live in our newsroom with more on the searches, hi, brian. >> good afternoon. a manhunt is under way for the suspect in western pennsylvania in new kensington, about 20 miles northeast of pittsburgh. at about 8:00 p.m. friday, 25-year-old officer bryan shaw was shot after a traffic stop involving an suv led to a foot pursuit and at some point shots were fired. shaw was hit, taken to the hospital, but was prenounsed dead shortly after. police have not provided a specific description of the suspect. police found an unaccompanied gold-colored jeep grand cherokee, wanted in connection with the shooting. >> we appreciate the phone calls we've been receiving. we've had a multitude of people call in and we encourage the phone calls to continue. we haven't had anything that i would construe as bad information. we appreciate everybody calling. we're doing everything we can to
11:39 am
follow those leads. >> $30,000 reward is being offered. shaw had been a part-time officer in three other towns before joining new kensington police force in june. this was taken by a local mom, showing the officer with a little boy that had received toy handcuffs and wanted to see the real handcuffs. the mom wrote on facebook about officer shaw, "we need more brians." in baltimore, maryland, search continues for the suspect responsible for killing sean souter. the circumstances of his death are still not very clear. they know souter's gun was fired multiple times and there's a possibility that he was killed by his own gun. the 43-year-old detective was conducting a follow-up investigation on a triple homicide when he confronted someone in a vacant lot and was shot in the head once. the husband and father of five was rushed to the hospital in a
11:40 am
police car. he died thursday. $215,000 reward is being offered for any information on that shooting that leads to an arrest. >> still both of these suspects still on the run. thank you. julie? >> the keystone pipeline leak under control, but could it still cause problems for another project? we'll have details. what started as a passion... ...has grown into an enterprise. that's why i switched to the spark cash card from capital one. now, i'm earning unlimited 2% cash back on every purchase i make. everything. what's in your wallet? even if you're trying your best.be a daily struggle, along with diet and exercise,

11:45 am
celebrating passing a major tax reform bill. now they're facing constituents with big questions about what it means for their pocketbooks and even bigger questions on if the bill will pass the senate. joining us now, congresswoman vicki hartzler from the great state -- and i emphasize great because it's where we're both from -- missouri. good to see you, ma'am. >> it good to see you. >> quinnipiac poll showed that 15% of americans think it will reduce their taxes, 35% think it will increase taxes, 36% stay the same. you disagree. clearly talking points talk to a different story. where is the disconnect with the folks? >> it's a large tax code we've had in the past. i think clearly the analysis
11:46 am
shows by the joint committee on taxation that every income bracket will see a tax decrease and that's sorely needed. 50% of americans are living paycheck to paycheck and they need tax relief and our bill will deliver that. >> i get that's what the analysis shows and everybody can sit here and select which facts and analysis and numbers they want to argue about. why aren't the american people getting behind this. if they believe the numbers, who doesn't want more money in their pocket at theened of every week? where is the disconnect? >> it's getting information out there. we just passed our bill this week so we're back in our districts letting people know. people are excited to learn that we'll make our businesses competitive by loring the corporate tax rate from 35% to 20% and that people are going to be able to keep more of their hard-earned money.
11:47 am
we doubled the standard deduction and increased child tax credit. we provide a lot of changes to our tax code to make it simpler, so people can file their taxes on something as simple as a postcard. when people hear the positive things about the bill, they're excited about it. >> important question. they say they're excited about it. that means only 1/3 of americans are believing this. is there a credibility disconnect here with people thinking that washington's telling them one thing and a different thing will happen to them? >> as you know, in missouri, we're the show me state. so people are just like us in missouri and say, show me. they've heard a lot of things. democrats are spreading misinformation even before we released our bill a few weeks
11:48 am
ago, nancy pelosi was having a press conference stating it would be bad for the lower class and middle income. now even "the washington post" rebutted that giving it a four pinocchio rating saying it's a flat-out lie. so americans do have questions about who they should listen to. facts are on our side and they will love the bill when they find out the details. >> well, that's the promise. now the bill goes to the senate. the math stays the same as it did for healthcare. it fell apart in the senate multiple times. seven u.s. senators on the fence or hard no's. how worried are you in the house that the senate will not deliver on this and come november the voters will hold everybody responsible? the feeling is different with this bill compared to the
11:49 am
healthcare bill. >> really? >> we came together and agreed on a framework. and we know we have to get this done for the american people. too many people are hurting, living paycheck to paycheck, our jobs going overseas. it's time to bring the jobs back. i think we'll work out the details, improve the bill, but in the end, we'll get this done and we'll have this on the president's desk and the american people will have a very good christmas present. >> a lot of g.o.p. donors saying, if you don't get this done, don't bother calling me back. congresswoman, we appreciate you being on. hopefully you get some martha bryant barbecue while you're home. >> looking forward to it. >> thank you, ma'am. >> political turmoil in zimbabwe as president robert mugabe faces growing pressure to step down. an update coming up next.

>> cheers in the streets of zimbabwe. the crowd demanding loudly the departure of president robert mugabe. mugabe has been in power for nearly 40 years. earlier this week, he was placed under house arrest by the military, who are insisting it's not a coup. >> it's looking as if robert mugabe could be forced to leave office as soon as tomorrow. the ruling party set to meet in the morning to discuss his future. today there were unprecedented scenes as thousands of people celebrated on the streets of harare, finally confident that the mugabe era is coming to an end. a few years ago his government would have cracked down on a gathering like this, but many people saying they are happy to be free of mr. mugabe's
11:55 am
