8:02 pm
president. in that interview, since a detailed meeting with a brush and lawyer as far back as 2014, a lawyer known to have close ties to russian president vladimir putin. the same lawyer who held that infamous meeting at donald trump tower to discuss dirt on hillary clinton. his answer, yes, i don't think the money came from her. meanwhile, a pair of defamation lawsuits tonight one in new york state against the website and buzz feet and the other in federal court against fusion gps. the lawsuit paints a picture of alleged collaboration and collaboration with democrats in the republican party. chief national correspondent ed henry joins us now with late-breaking developments. >> president trump and his legal team striking back at what his allies called dirty dossier.
8:03 pm
the president's longtime attorney, tweeting just a few moments ago enough is enough. if he is filed a federal suit against fusion gps and that cofounder glenn simpson plus a status suit against the buzz feet for publishing parts of the dossier. officials at the website tonight insist it was in the public interest to publish it and they will aggressively defend their first amendment rights. simpson under scrutiny after dianne feinstein it did release more than 300 pages of his private testimony last summer to the senate judiciary panel. feinstein trying to justify it by claiming republicans are beating up on the fusion to distract from the russian collusion the story except allies of the president tonight say there's no evidence of collusion and at this transcript raises new questions about fusion and its allies. like a former british spy christopher steele. he helped gather this unverified dirt on the president last week. republican charles grassley sent
8:04 pm
a criminal referral to the justice department suggesting he lied to officials. in his testimony, he said steele went to them in july 2016, and suggest they had a human source inside trump world to back up some of the claims of the dossier. the fbi believed his information might be credible, other intel that indicated the same thing, one of the pieces of intel was a human source from inside the trump organization. tonight, simpson is backpedaling. a source close to him telling the newspaper he misspoke about the fbi and it was a trump official george papadopoulos meeting with an australian ambassador. big difference. simpson's lawyer testified one person wound up dead when some meeting organization published from the dossier. simpson wants to be very careful to protect the sources.
8:05 pm
if somebody has already been killed, and no harm should come to anybody related to this honest work. that puts more pressure on the media organizations who publish this information and expense by fbi director christopher barre is very cautious. >> this house intelligence committee has requested documents from the so-called steel dossier. >> in many instances where dealing with sources and methods which is the lifeblood of foreign intelligence and our liaison relationships with foreign partners. >> a colleague wrote a op-ed headline saying republicans faked investigations, but this showed it simpson applied to answer questions about how fusion was paid. in the months since, republicans have gotten their hands on bank records showing hillary clinton's presidential camp and
8:06 pm
the dnc paid for some of this dirt through democratic attorney mark elias. when simpson was pressed on whether fusion gps was a democratic linked firm, he responded he would not agree with that description. >> shannon: thank you, ed. this is a fox news alert on the so-called dreamer program for those hundreds of thousands of young immigrants whose legal status is up in the air. they trump administration suspended the daca a program, gave lawmakers until march to try to sort out their status. it was what they were negotiating over. tonight's just minutes ago we get from federal judge in san francisco weighing in now with a pretrial injunction. ruling that the daca program must remain in place while litigation over his decision to rescind the daca program works its way through the courts. as part of the ruling, the government does not have to
8:07 pm
process new applications for people who had never before received the protection under the program, but for now it stops the president from doing what he was going to do, march. san francisco federal judge jumps in with this ruling, will have more on that and get it to you as soon as possible. an extraordinary bit of television today involving the president, key members of both parties remaining what to do about illegal immigration. reaction tonight about what's been called an extraordinary move is extraordinary at south with praise and criticism coming from quarters you normally wouldn't expect to see with this president. how this attempt at bipartisanship is going down. >> nobody knew what kind of progress democrats and republicans had been making on a daca deal behind closed doors but now we know because president trump opened up the doors. >> you have put it out there
8:08 pm
that you want $18 billion for a wall. >> i can build it for less. >> it went on like that for 55 minutes and his command appeared to start quiet the critics and a chattering class. >> this is a president pointedly behaving not as michael wolff who would has him in his book but as somebody who is sitting around with people and is in charge here. >> some of the president's other critics are upset now because they feel a daca deal is being rushed to avoid a government shutdown. "the washington post" writes if republicans are going to continue to play a cruel game with hundreds of thousands of immigrants, the democrats shouldn't give them their vote to make up for defections from hard-line caucus members who resist funding the government under any realistic scenario. conservative immigration hawks
8:09 pm
have also said the president indicated the border wall doesn't have to be 2,000-mile long because it would be hard to build anything on top of a river or a mountain that covers parts of the border with mexico. >> when kevin mccarthy is the hard-liner on immigration in the room, i think we can call this the lowest day in the trump presidency. he was clearly trying to overcome the bad press of this michael wolff book by showing he's in command. what he did was fulfill every description of him in the michael wolff book. >> this wasn't just a negotiation, early stages. the president says he wants to faces of immigration fixes. first, daca and the border wall. a comprehensive look at chain migration and visa over stays. >> shannon: president trump said in that meeting, i'll take the heat. perhaps he is responding to some
8:10 pm
of that on twitter tonight to his critics. tweeting that as i made very clear today, our country needs the security of the wall on the southern border which must be part of any daca approval and it's worth ruling -- you've got to make a deal. >> president trump: maybe we'll agree and maybe we won't. it's possible were not going to agree with you. there should be no reason for us not to get this done. >> shannon: did you notice that? they were wearing matching outfits. they want in simpatico, it was interesting though. i have to wonder, did all of the democrats and republicans no he was going to keep cameras in there the whole time to watch him to do what he likes to do. not as michael wolff would have them portrayed in his book, sitting around and taking charge.
8:11 pm
>> you and i talked last week in light of allegations and what was reported in the book and what was the received wisdom about donald trump was that he was not a vital part of his own administration -- he needed to do something to demonstrate in real terms that he was and did. against the toughest audience you can have. not just the press but also democrats. sitting around that table, he showed it not just command but also fluency in these issues that he was able to talk about. what was going on that he has command of these subjects. there was pursing up things that he said. whenever people are going to come up for a deal he was going to sign and that was impressive. >> shannon: not long before he came here i was watching another network. they interpreted this meeting completely differently. they said it proved that he has
8:12 pm
no command of the policy, no idea where republicans or democrats stood on anything and he was completely clueless. >> when the president said we can do this in two parts. we can do daca, we can do 81 fod then do comprehensive. this will not please ann coulter, some other folks who make a living off of talking about immigration -- for this issue, donald trump may be better situation to solve this problem for america than anybody else. he may be the only person -- this has been a horrible issue for this country since george w. bush tried to take it up. ronald reagan dealt with it in the 80s. it's been a huge issue since 2007, it's been a disaster for more than a decade. trouble may be the only guy who can take it on and he might've shown the little bit of that today. >> shannon: let's talk about and coulter and some others who were thrilled. congressman steve king, no
8:13 pm
surprise that he is anti-illegal immigration, he doesn't like the idea of amnesty. >> i'll submit this. daca amnesty will cost american taxpayers and the economy far more than it will cost to build a wall. i hope that's in the record and stays in the record. i won't have to wait very long to defend that statement and a lot of people in the country are going to have to admit i'm righ right. >> shannon: as he considers the utility of walls and promises, -- >> the problem ultimately for these folks donald trump it splits the party. he took a minority standing within the g.o.p. into a full win because it was a divided field for 2016 the plurality of the republican party as well as the overwhelming majority of the country in its entirety supports things like amnesty for these
8:14 pm
daca people. >> shannon: we don't want to call it that. were not talking about full path to citizenship. >> it's sort of like with these l salvadorans were here since 2001. there's not a lot of appetite in america amnesty or not amnesty allowed me to stay within the united states. it will be very hard for the present space to make and pay the price. he found out that working with the republican establishment feels pretty good. it is like a warm jacuzzi, do we get tax cuts will everybody cheer when i get the tax cuts? yes. mitch mcconnell has showed him
8:15 pm
how you can work your way to success. of steve bannon is off talking about thomas cromwell into muttering into his soup someplace. >> shannon: nice and toasty tonight. you don't wear a sweater in the jacuzzi. what we got from the white hous white house, daca, border security, chain migration, visa lottery. did the ball move at all on these negotiations? >> it moved in the larger sense about doing comprehensive immigration reform at a certain point. there's only one thing that matters, that government is going to shut down unless they do something. democrats have vowed it they will not vote for any more kicking the can unless they get some relief from these daca kids. republicans have said we can't do that unless they get border
8:16 pm
security. i think they have what they will put in a spending deal already done but fighting this down to the 19th is going to be some rough business. >> shannon: the funding runs out at midnight and that's when we are on. that's right before our friday night dance party. chris stirewalt, great to see you. the tax cuts and jobs act became law eight days ago, several major utility companies that will benefit from the lower taxes are passing savings along to consumers. washington's own pepco are among the energy suppliers claiming they will cut rates for hundreds of thousands of customers across the nation. interior secretary is backing away from calls to drill along florida's coast after meeting with rick scott. he supports the governor's position that florida is unique in its coasts are heavily reliant on tourism as an economic driver. for speculation, he could face a senate bid in this year's

>> shannon: controversial former arizona sheriff joe arpaio says he's running for senate. known for his immigration crackdowns, he said in a fund-raising email that he's concerned about sanctuary city policies, he served as the sheriff of maricopa county in arizona for 24 years. president trump pardoned him last year for defying a judge's order that he stop targeting and attaining latino drivers. he's running to replace senator jeff flake who is retiring. according to the department of homeland security, applications
8:22 pm
are down 40%. president trump says we still need a border wall. >> president trump: you speak to the agents and i spoke to all of them, they endorsed me for president and ice, they both endorsed trump, they never did that before. i have a great relationship with them. they said without the wall, security doesn't work. we are all wasting time. >> shannon: martha mcsorley and brenda judge, good to be with you. you were in that meeting today. was there real progress, are you moving forward on anything? >> i appreciate the president's leadership, we have got to address these issues and there are some clear priorities here. securing our borders, stopping illegal immigration, not incentivizing more in the futur future, addressing and getting rid of chain migration.
8:23 pm
we will be introducing a bill tomorrow, many of these priorities the president talked about the day. plus some additional ones. we have been working on this nonstop, we think this is a strong conservative solution. i appreciate that there seems to be a slight agreement by our democrat counterparts there that we at least have four topics we needed to negotiate. this cannot be just addressing daca, it's a nonstarter. i think most people are willing to have a conversation on daca. we have to address the root causes of why we have 800,000 people here in the first place and make sure we don't have that happen again in the future. these are comments and since solutions we've got to negotiate for the american people. >> shannon: you're not convinced the wall is the answe answer, a study for the senator of immigration studies,
8:24 pm
it would save taxpayers nearly $64 billion, several times the walls cost. >> i agree with the president we do need a border wall, we need physical infrastructure. in my district where we represent, we previously have no barriers and no fencing. the cartels are driving through anywhere, the ranchers and border residents are having to deal with it. there is some physical infrastructure there and it caused a problem for the cartels to have to deal with. that's plus technology, agents and everything that we need to stop the cartels is important. we need a border wall and everything that goes with it in order to keep our country safe. >> shannon: what would help u.s. somebody somebody who is working the front lines, i know you're facing real dangers, threats to your physical body and well-being, how tough is it to retain to hire people -- several of the legislative districts are dealing with giving you more personnel. >> we've had a difficult time
8:25 pm
retaining our employees. if you look at the past eight years, the good guys were being handcuffed. we are taking the handcuffs off the bad guys and letting them go. anyone who crossed the border illegally we would take them into custody and then turn around and let them go and they would disappear into the shadows of society. since we've had a new president come in and since he is tough on the laws and wants to enforce the laws, our agents are a heck of a lot happier and we are able to keep them a little bit bette better. i think were going to get it done. >> shannon: you need funding for that as well, i know there's been talk about the mix of border control agents and customs agents -- what would be most helpful? >> when you look at customs, they drive an awful lot of revenue in this country and we cannot select revenue down. border patrol agents that work between the port of entry and some agents that are with me here to date, we work at ports
8:26 pm
of entry, and to stop all those things come across illegally that people don't see. we do an extremely important job so we have to have a mixture of both. >> shannon: we hinted today in the news at arizona, sheriff arpaio is running, to support the agenda and the president of policies of president trump. there's a speculation you're going to talk year has in ring as well. any comment? >> we do have an announcement coming on friday. i just ask you and your viewers to for that announcement. >> i'd like to jump in. we are hoping border patrol agents are hoping that congresswoman mick sally jumps into the ring. >> shannon: want to make it official, you got one vote. at least right here, thank you both for coming in and keep us

>> shannon: more environmental devastation hitting southern california following last month's catastrophic wildfires. at least 13 people have been killed as heavy rain sent walls of mud sliding down charred hillsides. anita vogel has this story. >> multiple casualties tonight after powerful storms about flooding, mudslides, and sheer panic into communities just north of los angeles. the hardest hit area, the
8:32 pm
community of montecito, just south of santa barbara, an enclave of multimillion dollar homes including celebrities like oprah winfrey. the mountains above were hard hit in december by the thomas fire, vegetation and brush were burned away by flames so there wasn't much to absorb the water and the mother came cascading down the hillside. >> it sounded like a freight train coming down the hill. if you could hear these boulders rolling down, the whole house was shaking. >> i panicked, they were both asleep, there is mud in the driveway. >> dozens of homes were flooded with mud, firefighters had to pull people out in the middle of the night including a 14-year-old girl who was stuck for hours. others had to be rescued from their cars via helicopters and at least three homes caught fire after a gas leak and transformer explosion. authorities say only 15-20% of
8:33 pm
the 21,000 people told to evacuate followed orders, surprising and disappointing emergency responders. >> we've had a history of flooding in the area, with the fire, the ash, and the little to no vegetation, the sediment builds up quickly. it starts to clog the streams and that adds to the problem. >> tonight there are still many people without power and water were still cut off from their homes. the 101 freeway behind me remains close from ventura all the way to santa barbara. and unfortunately authorities say the death toll will rise overnight. >> shannon: last night we took you to the start of the meetings between north and south korea where officials were holding their first face-to-face talks in two years.
8:34 pm
they still refused to negotiate over their nuclear program. that means attentions are still bubbling. according to a report from "the wall street journal," u.s. officials are debating whether it's possible to launch a limited to military strike against north korea without starting an all-out war. trace gallagher has been following all of this. >> breaking right now we should note south korea president said he's willing to meet with kim jong il in and to resolve the north korean stand-up, the success of the summit must be realized before the meeting takes place. another small diplomatic step on the korean peninsula. meantime, here in the united states we are still working this wall street general report that u.s. officials are debating a possible limited military strike against north korea. it's being referred to as the bloodied nose is strategy.
8:35 pm
the u.s. could amount a surgical strike against a north korea weapons facility without igniting an all-out war on the korean peninsula. the "washington examiner" says the pentagon has little appetite for a limited strike because the risks are too high, seeing the big flaw in the bloodied nose strategy is that kim jong un would have no way of knowing if the strike is truly limited to. he may instead believe it's the opening blow in an effort to topple him from power. in that case, he might respond with whatever weapons he has which is a frightening scenario for south korea considering the north has a massive array of artillery pointed directly at soul. north korea could wipe out tens of thousands of south koreans and could potentially even fire a nuclear weapon across the demilitarized zone. even with reports that the bloodied nose strategy is being debated inside they trump administration it appears that
8:36 pm
the secretary of state rex tillerson and defense secretary jim mattis remained focused on trying to use a broader diplomatic effort to rein in the nuclear program. talks between north and south korea are expected to move forward. >> shannon: thank you. where in the world? in about 90 seconds. the state department seems to be on the brink of denying entry to the u.s. for 100 christian iranians stranded in vienna. activists worry the trump administration might not grant them asylum giving austria at little choice but to send them back to iran. it seems early reminiscent of the dawn of the arab spring hitting tunisia tonight, one person killed about protests over price increases in tunisia. then and now, economic issues are led to the people in the middle east.
8:37 pm
the government orders supermarkets to lower prices -- shortages of food, medicine and basic goods are dire. further consolidate power and clampdown on antigovernment voices. unusually heavy snowfall leaving tourists stranded in swiss towns near the famed matterhorn mountain. emergency workers using helicopters trying to carry out dozens of tourists to safety. more than 160 people busted, $60 million worth of assets seized. suspects accused of mafia association, attempted murder, extortion, money-laundering, illegal weapons possessions among other charges. prince harry and meghan markle going to a youth radio station today, they stood outside while the crowd shouted we love you megan. with all the opera 2020 buzz following her stirring speech, the president himself responded today on a possible race against

>> shannon: this is a fox news alert on on the so called it da program, hundreds of thousands of young immigrants whose legal status right now is up in the air. the president has said of the program which was instituted, it's got to go. tonight a judge in san francisco is ruling the program must remain in place while litigation over president trump's decision to rescind the program works its way through the courts. we will see an immediate appeal by the administration but it just happened a short time ago so we will wait and let you know how the administration is going to respond. as we reported earlier tonight, democratic senator dianne feinstein released the full transcript from fusion gps cofounder glenn simpson's testimony behind closed doors. also tonight, president trump's attorney michael cohen has filed a part of lawsuits. one against the websites buzz
8:43 pm
feed and the other against fusion gps. both were over the dirty dossier and his associates and ties to russia. he's alleging the dossier painted him as having a possibly criminal relationship with the russian government. here with instant reaction to all of these late-breaking developments is the republican congressman from utah, good to have you tonight. where do we start, what do you make of this ruling out of san francisco that this administration has to uphold the previous administration's decision to institute daca by executive order? >> i think i would just say this, these are decisions messed made made in the congress. i think that's the appropriate response and that's where we end up. >> shannon: we have these two defamation lawsuits, he says that buzz feed and a fusion gps knew the information was false or they had to at least have
8:44 pm
some reckless handling of the truth because he says they put him in countries and places he had never been -- they should have at least checked this out. >> i'm glad that he is sprayed of this is a private citizen, he thrust himself into the public realm. as a private citizen doing his job when they accused him not of jaywalking, they accused him of treason. i think he should defend himself. the dossier we've been seeing for a long, long time in the last few weeks -- i've asked members of the fbi -- tell me anything in the dossier that's true. "i don't know how to answer that question." that's the response. if this is a meaningful accusation, i think any citizen has the right to defend himself against something so serious. >> shannon: was the characterization of the information you've been able to get about the dossier whether it was used to get the fisa warrant to spy on carter page, have they been forthcoming? >> not initially but you
8:45 pm
eventually compelled them to answer those questions. you can speak generally, a very important piece of evidence to carry forward in the investigation. we know what's been disproven and it's important for people to know that. tell me anything in the dossier that's true, they will answer basic things that are common knowledge. these are innocent people who have been accused of very serious crimes and it's done in such a willy-nilly manner, the politics of it are the only thing that matter. these are people's lives that were talking about here. >> shannon: glenn simpson who was a former "wall street journal" journalist and cofounder of fusion gps, he has complained that he thinks that there have been leaks and mischaracterizations of his position, he wrote a piece on it last week. he said chuck grassley said we want you to come and testify, you took the fifth amendment. the top democrat on the committee released all of this -- the full transcript.
8:46 pm
she said the innuendo and misinformation circulating about the transcript are part of a deeply troubling effort to undermine the investigation into potential pollution and obstruction of justice. the only way to set the record straight is to make the transcript public. grassley says they didn't consult on that, he would've consulted with her. >> i can't imagine what she hopes to accomplish and the accusation is just silly. a year ago there were so many democrats who expected that this president would be impeached for collusion. now after all of this time in this investigation, they are very frustrated that the evidence isn't pointing to that so they are left with is one other option -- the investigation was therefore tainted or incomplete. we have interviewed of dozens of dozens -- thousands of hours, our report which will be completed fairly soon which wie hundreds of pages long. if the evidence of collusion isn't there, maybe those people are innocent. instead their presumption is the investigation is a failure and people are trying to protect the
8:47 pm
president. it's just not true. it's silly for them to have taken this action and i don't know what she hopes to accomplish. >> shannon: there is a democratic strategist and activist out there who said that after reading this you have to think that the g.o.p. was covering for the president and his associates. members of congress will go to jail. >> i'd be willing to bet some money on that. i have no evidence of that at all, i don't think he does. if he does, please bring it forward to us, we'd love to see it because it's not something we've seen to this point. >> shannon: thanks for coming in tonight, we know the committee has a lot of work ahead. he apologize for not responding sooner, now it stephen bannon is leaving breitbart news, what's next for the president's former chief strategist. were going to tell you why and
