reported finding those accused of sexually assaulting a minor and meth. as the great to see the doing their job. we'll see you monday. shannon bream is next. >> shannon: after touting his america-first agenda he's returning to allegations he wanted to fire robert mueller. >> fake news. >> shannon: we investigate whether the headlines tell the whole story. and the long-awaited immigration plan is lighting up fire under the left. >> the plan is a campaign to make america white again. >> shannon: we'll talk with a legal immigrant who's gone viral. >> if you're legal and viewer voting democrat you have to check your brain. >> shannon: plus, stepping down from planned parenthood and the legacy and what is next for the

organization. >> shannon: welcome to "fox news @ night." i'm shannon bream. tonight territory donald trump is facing questions on whether he tried to fire robert mueller. >> shannon: talking with the success of the davos trip but not answering questions on robert mueller. with the president discussing options or was there an tempt to obstruct justice.

"the new york times" reporting he changed his mind after some staff threaten to quit. they were told at the time the president discussed firing mule ir not ordering it but backed down after he was told the result could be disastrous. >> he was also taking fire for remarks from a friend of his who suggested president trump was considering the removal of special counsel robert mueller. >> i think he's considering perhaps terminated the special counsel. >> the statement prompted outrage from democrats. >> shannon: that's back in june. tonight sources tell fox news the president asked mcgan if he would talk to deputy attorney rob rosenstein about the idea of firing mueller but never ordered him fired. sources tell fox news he never threaten to resign so where do

we go from here? if anywhere we have a white house correspondent for "the examiner." it's an odd story because it's a story about what didn't happen. >> the argument about obstruction of justice if he followed through and at the end of the day we don't know how seriously president trump made it. he's been saying he doesn't believe the basis is legitimate. it's no secret at the beginning of the investigation he had a more adversarial attitude towards robert mueller and it wasn't until ty cobb came on his legal team they backed off calling it a witch hunt. a lot of this has been known and it's been interesting to look at it in the context of roberts being supported. >> shannon: this is what the president had to say when asked about it in davos in the press

when asked about ordering the firing. >> fake news. >> shannon: here's what a prominent republican said the latest reports are true, it seems to me they show the president listened to good advice from his advisors based on his statement from the last couple weeks he and his lawyers seem to be cooperating with mueller but that's not the way the story's being portrayed. >> it feeds into the narrative that's been building around the investigation that maybe president trump hasn't been as cooperative and what mueller is not looking at collision because no evidence has emerged but now it's obstruction and that's the conversation we're having if anybody tried to subvert mueller's investigation and it's

interesting to see the goal post move as we get deeper in the investigation. >> shannon: the ranking member at the house intelligence committee said congress must make clear any effort to remove the special counsel or impede his work would touch off a crisis which would imperil this presidency and cause grave da e danger to the nation. it sound like don mcgann convinced him it was a bad idea. >> no question. if president trump has removed robert mueller at the beginning of the investigation -- remember, he was only appointed in may 2017. it would have only been a month in the investigation. it could have caused a major crisis for the trump presidency. and the white house has been highlighted how much they've

cooperated with him they've given 20,000 pages of documents and they're starting to try to highlight they've done nothing to obstruct the probe so far. >> shannon: this week the president said i'd love to talk to him sooner rather than later and i'd consult with my attorneys. clearly there's going to be legal consultation but he said he's rearing to do it. >> one would hope there's legal consultation. he highlighted in the meeting i attended hillary clinton was not placed under oath when she was interviewed by fbi agents. it's not typical to be placed under oath and during the clinton e-mail probe that was the last step investigators took and later james comey came out and closed it. there's speculation if president trump is about to sit down we could be nearing the end of the probe. >> shannon: he's denying the

reports he ordered the firing and thank you for helping us break it down. president trump breaking down the argument over daca and supporters remain torn on the white house's new immigration proposal. we are tracking how it's gone. hi, doug. >> one thing to keep in mind as you listen to the latest on the immigration negotiations. the democrats want to win control of congress next november, 10 months away, and they won't do that by cooperating with the republican agenda. leader schumer and pelosi under fire for losing the shutdown trashed trump's immigration framework though it double the number of dreamers, 1.8 million that would be granted citizenship. pelosi was especially visit --

vitriolic. >> that is a campaign to make america white again. >> he demanded the president's go-to man, steven miller, not be present at the meeting. >> we must take our vote -- >> apparently we don't have the sound but he tweeted with the president's immigration framework he said it flies in the face of what most americans believe. the president fired back on twitter on his way back from davos saying daca has been made increasingly difficult over crying chuck schumer took such a beating he can't come to a compromise. the republicans have trouble within their own caucus. many conservatives are fearful it leans to far for accommodating dreamers and not

far enough in border security. >> if it's the other way around, which is what mr. durbin and mr. graham wants for pretend security and chain immigration that's a different animal and i'm not for it. >> meanwhile, moderates have their own ideas. >> they won't be locked down by thinking about what the house or white house will do. we'll move on our own. >> add to the fragmentation, the democrats may use the deadline for government funding february 8, a little while away, as leverage in the immigration debate. mcconnel and ryan both support the framework. ryan saying it will help reach a balanced solution. mcconnel said it will work towards guidances for agreement. it will be very complex, if any agreement is reached at all. >> shannon: a lot of room for negotiation. thank you. davos was an eye-opener for

many in the media. not only did the president get a warm welcome but the media was taken by surprise when a chairman of the world economic forum took the president's side on fake news. >> it was remarkable to hear the founder of the world economic forum take jabs at the president and saying the president is a victim. that was a pitiful display to have the statements made with the president by his side. >> shannon: a pitiful display. let's talk about it with editorial director at the daily color and host of mornings on the mall and co-host of the five, welcome, gentlemen. >> good to be with you. >> shannon: the reaction from many in the mainstream media and the left was surprised the president did not crash and burn at davos.

there's been all kind of different praise. let's hear from the ceo of salesforce.com how the president represented the u.s. >> he well represented the american policies he's put into place and his position. it encouraged the discussions to contin continue. >> shannon: we heard the denmark minister of industry saying based on what is happening with the trump investigation more investors will be pouring money into the states. >> he was speaking about the lower 21% tax rate, he thinks we're more competitive in term of the global market place. i think, shannon, the key point for me was hearing the president say america first doesn't mean america alone and saying that in front of the crowd. on the other hand the other point is this is donald trump. he curse the out the billionaire crowd --

>> shannon: the global elite. >> he said these people are not working for america and he, donald trump, was coming in for the forgotten men and women left behind. now he's taken a trip to davos and with the global elite and i think in essence he reassured them. i'm not sure how that plays out at home but the stock market's booming and feels good about the american economy and said if america does well, the world does well. i'm sure others think if we do well, you'll do well but he's the president of the united states. >> shannon: there was also this account of what happened and a surprisingly well recepted and welcomed by heads of state who last year they were concerned about the global order and today were celebrating his tax cuts

and roll cuts. that's from "the new york times." >> it's amazing, isn't it? the reason you've seen left-wing media shock is there's projections like if we don't like him nobody else might like him and in an environment with a shared audience was shocking to the american press. remember, these guise -- guys are assessing how he's doing and how they can take advantage of the fact that president trump is interested in increasing the average american's stake in the world. when you say america first but not america alone, the president emphasized he wants to be a cheerleader nor -- for the country. >> shannon: what do you make with the different with the ceos

who sat there praising him saying we love you rolling back the regulations and plan to pour more money in the u.s. people said that's him in his element. he's used to being around business leaders but some are disappointed it went so well. >> look, in the case of donald trump he didn't bully anybody or use profanity and wasn't a moment where everything blew up and you say what did he just say to these big money guys. to the contrary, he was behaving in a normal manner and complimentary and warm. now, for example, if he came on shannon bream at night -- >> shannon: the invitation is always open. give us a call. >> we'd have a party -- >> shannon: we would? >> donald trump love flattery and love luxury and love to be the with the rich and famous -- >> shannon: is that us? >> that's you.

[laughter] >> when you stop and think about things not going like tariff or the break down of nafta -- >> shannon: he feels that's going well from his view point. >> he said today -- this was interesting, he said if he could get back in and renegotiate the tpp he'd come back in. i think the people thought this say much more reasoned and approachable donald trump than we're accustomed to. >> i think he's been consistent on the fact what he what he sees are bad deals and if that means jumping back into tpp that would be an amazing turn about but if it's good for the united states it's a win. he's got so many economic indicators he can point to that are successes. >> shannon: you're successes tonight and i don't know what that is about visiting the rich and famous on fox news but come back. a report by politico shows

the president is planning to sign an executive order to keep guantanamo bay open. according to the report the president is expect to announce the order next week during his state of the union address. well, for the third straight week u.s. health officials said the flu has blanketed the u.s. hawai'i is the only state being fa spared. it's been the highest level of flu activity since the swine flew in 2009. they're still urging people to be vigilant to void the virus. that's a big change coming at planned parenthood and with so many illegal immigrants we'll chat live way woman who immigrated illegally who said she's fed up with the dreamers and defenders. >> hi, everyone. i'm a legal imgrant -- immigrant

and i was watching chuck schumer give his speech during the shutdown and a wanted to vomit. you owned your car for four years. you named it brad. you loved brad. and then you totaled him. you two had been through everything together. two boyfriends, three jobs... you're like nothing can replace brad. then liberty mutual calls... and you break into your happy dance. if you sign up for better car replacement™, we'll pay for a car that's a model year newer with 15,000 fewer miles than your old one. liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance.

>> shannon: the long-awaited immigration reform plan from the white house was released

yesterday light fire over the left and right for the citizenship of illegal immigrants. republican mississippi state senator chris mcdaniels saying it's concerning why anyone would want to repeat history with amnesty and cory stewart said any amnesty including an extension of daca would lead to drawing millions of new immigrants into the country illegally. i'm not happy about it. my next guest say legal immigrant from brazil and has gone viral over her facebook page. thank you for joining us tonight. great to have you. >> thank you, shannon. thank you for having me. >> shannon: i watched the video just under nine minutes long and i know you posted other things on facebook but you talked about the fact you don't want the u.s. to turn into what you left behind in brazil and said people who are here illegally and

demonstrating in the streets is frustrating and you're telling them, if you're not happy, go home. >> exactly. >> shannon: how's that being received? did you have trouble with facebook because we had reports maybe what you had to say on facebook was not well received. >> some people didn't like it and i was called every name in the world and some names i didn't even know existed but it's okay. i expected that. i expected some people were not going to like it. i said what had to be said. i think legal immigrants like myself have never been heard. there's so much debate on this issue and everybody forgets people like me have paid the price to be in this country. we wasn't through all the legal steps to be here. it's really a slap in the face of the legals that are here that somebody can just walk in

illegally or overstay their visa and then years later they are rewarded with the same citizenship we worked hard for. >> shannon: you said it's hard and lengthy and costly. i know there's nothing easy about coming here legally. let me ask you about people brought here as children. they're adults now and people in their 20s and 30s, do you think what the white house is proposing 10 to 12 year path to citizenship is fair or not fair. where do you stand? >> personally, i'm on the fence with that. if i had a say on that and i'm not heartless i wouldn't say send them all back but i would propose a permanent green card without citizenship. i don't think -- like if you committed a crime and you go to

prison you lose the right to vote. why should somebody entered the country legally, which is a crime, be rewarded with a pass to citizenship that eventually will lead to vote. >> shannon: you said also in your video this country has afforded more freedom of opportunity than any other place in the world. do you think other people appreciate that the way you do? >> you mean the people that are here illegally? >> shannon: yeah, do you think they perceive it as an opportunity. you question why some haven't fought harder to start the citizenship process -- >> no, i don't. i work in the construction industry. i've had close contact with illegals and legals and everybody all over because of the business i work in.

i can tell you that, that that we don't work for we don't appreciate. people that come here and don't come here illegally don't go through the process of becoming a citizen i did and others did, don't appreciate what the country has to offer. i really think it's a completely different perspective. >> shannon: it's a very interesting perspective coming through what you've been through and you close out the video by talking about the fact that people have fought like you outnumber those here illegally and reminding lawmakers you're going to vote based on what they do. we'll see if they're listening. thank you so much. very interesting video. we'll keep up with you. >> thank you and thank you for having me. >> shannon: fresh off his trip of davos president trump wants to boost the military to

confront old foes modernizing their forces. we have more from the pentagon. >> president trump wants to boost defense spending fulfilling a campaign promise to rebuild the military which suffered from recent budget cuts and 16 years of war. a recent official said trouble will ask congress for $716 billion when the pentagon rolls out the 2019 budget last month. a 13% increase over 2017. boost will modernize the nuclear force including missiles dating back to the '70s. aging aircraft will be replaced and the troops given a pay raise. secretary mattis said china and russia, not terrorism, are the biggest threats. >> our competitive edge has erode, air, land, space, sea and

cyberspace and continue to erode. >> as an example, super hornets, half can't fly today and only 30% are fully mission capable according to the head of naval aviation. for the first time super hornets rolled off boeing. blastic missile submarines like the uss kentucky are 30 years ol but still counted on to patrol caring intercontinental missiles carrying independent nuclear war heads. one submarine can destroy 180 cities. last week the u.s. deployed nuclear-capable bombers to england to fly patrols but the air force is more than 50 years old. thursday, russian president, vlad putin was on hand to see their newest bomber.

russia wasn't the only threat on president trump's mind today in davos. >> we continue to call on partners to confront iran's support for terrorist and block iran's path to a nuclear weapon. we're commit to ensuring that afghanistan never again becomes a safe haven for terrorists. >> keep in mind, congress still hasn't passed the 2018 budget. >> shannon: lucas, thank you very much. big change for planned parenthood and what it means for the organization's future as it faces a justice department investigation. and we break down a new sexual misconduct scandal and claims hillary clinton protected a former aide in trouble.

>> shannon: a new round of sexual misconduct allegations

breaking tonight. hillary clinton was involved when she intervene to top the firing of a presidential adviser after he was accused of sexual harassment. >> during the 2008 campaign, burn strider was hillary clinton's adviser and co-founder of the americans founder's network. every morning he'd send clinton scripture readings and accused of sexually harassing subordinate. she first complained who brought the campaign to the campaign manager who then recommend to hillary clinton that strider be fired. "the new york times" said clinton refused.

instead the young woman who complained was given a different position. and there's been a comment saying the campaign had a policy to address the conduct and they were reviewed in accordance with the policies and appropriate action was taken. there's no indication of what action was considered appropriate and until now former clinton associates were unwilling to talk about the event. the metoo movement changed that and eight former campaign officials decide to go public though the woman who went public is not among them. remember, the clinton candidacy has been cited as the inspiration for the metoo movement though the factor in the movement, harvey weinstein was a long-time donor and friend

and they were told to steer clear of weinstein. burn strider was later hired to lead an independent group and was fired for numerous workplace issues including harassing a young female aide. >> shannon: after 12 years at the helm of planned parenthood the organization's president will be stepping down. what legacy will she leave behind? immersed in left-wing politics from an early age, cecile richards went on to champion progress and democratic causes including a stent as deputy chief of staff for nancy pelosi.

>> together we built a movement. >> shannon: she built up the organization building the base to $2 million and fund raise from the rich and famous and marketing to the masses. the organization now received more than $500 million in taxpayer funding every year. planned parenthood said that could be anything from a flu shot to diabetes test. the most recent report showed they performed abortions as well. richards leaves behind an organization facing a hostile congress and state-level political challenge. more than 40 states have some restriction on abortion. in 2015, republicans nearly shut down the government over taxpayer funding for plant parenthood and now the republican-led congress sounds more committed than ever to ending it. >> the time has come to look why

we'd fund half their budget where the only thing that's stable is the number of abortions they do every year. every other service is declining and the clinics are closing. >> shannon: a 26-year-old activist recorded planned parenthood officials discussing pricing for left over fetal tissue. >> that's per specimen. >> shannon: and caught medical research firms boasting of their relationship. the man behind the videos is now facing criminal charges and planned parenthood maintains it's done nothing illegal but now facing a federal investigation. they have not announced a successor to richards. she said she couldn't be prouder of what she's accomplished. >> to those that count on planned parenthood know this organization will be here for you. >> shannon: she'll be stepping

down some time later this year. it's friday. that means night court. a temple suing on the grounds of abortion. we'll see if they have a case straight ahead, and a handful of states are so upset about tax cuts they're lawyering up against the trump administration. would it mean you lose your tax cut? that's straight ahead. my name's dustin. hey, dustin. grab a seat. woman: okay. moderator: nice to meet you. have you ever had car trouble in a place like this? (roaring of truck) yes and it was like the worst experience of my life. seven lanes of traffic and i was in the second lane. when i get into my car, i want to know that it's going to get me from point a to point b. well, then i have some good news. chevy is the only brand to receive j.d. power dependability awards for cars, trucks and suvs two years in a row. woman: wait! (laughing) i definitely feel like i'm in a dependable vehicle right now. woman 2: i want a chevy now. woman 3: i know!

>> shannon: thanks largely to the gop tax cut plan president trump tells world business leaders america is the place to do business. it's led to scores of companies offering employee perks and bonuses and pay hikes. could it come to a halt. in california, new york and new jersey announce new coalition against president trump's tax cut laws said it discriminates against states with high-income residents. i'm confused here. we were told this say tax cut for the rich and that's why it's a bad bill. now it seems like they want to sue because people who are high-tax earners will have to pay more? >> it comes down to state and local tax deduction created early 1900s when we created the income tax at the national level. the fear then was total tax

liability between states and federal government may exceed 100%. it was designed to protect against people paying more than an owed. what's funny -- not as much a legal fight but political tight for democrats who attacked the tax plan over the last year it's been under the accusation it benefits the rich and low-income earners don't benefit but rich people now. now with the state and local tax deduction, which is really only taken advantage of of high earners and it's a fight -- >> shannon: rich people -- >> it's now their fight to protect rich people in their state. >> here's what phil furmy said we will not stand by and that's

what we heard. they're paying so much to the from coffers they're not getting it back. >> i think where they'd better focus their attention is on their own tax and spending in their state. the reason the state and local tax deduction is so important is because their tax rates are so high. between new york, new jersey and connecticut they have the highest state tax burdens in the country. it has nothing to do with tax rates at the federal level and for fact they've paid no attention or concern to what's going on in their own state. >> shannon: rates have gone up. rates have changed in the obama years but i didn't hear about the states talking about suing them. >> the top income tax rate went up 5 points and no other governor sued because the top earners would be punish and the tax on capital went up 9%.

from recent tax hikes democrats imposed to the minimum tax, they never sued on that. it has nothing to do with that. >> shannon: and they're still trying to figure out their legal theory. a piece said they announced their intent to sue but don't yet know why. they feel confident it will illegal but don't have a theory as to how. the same politicians were de crying it are now suing. we don't know what the theory is going to be. >> a number of democrats will become familiar with the tenth amendment that's the best outcome they'll be more familiar with it. unfortunately for them after reading the tenth amendment or commerce laws or anything else,

they're not going to find i think a solid legal strategy that allows them to sue because so many people are getting tax cuts and the rest of the country will no longer subsidize their high tax rate. >> shannon: we'll stand by. if they file this in the right place and a judge puts the tax law on hold which is often what happens with this administration -- lots of people don't want to lose their tax cuts. jurors get ready. night court is up after the break. our legal eagles will bring the argument and from previous night courts a verdict is in on a controversial facebook post. what did hold together. a little to the left. 1, 2, 3, push! easy! easy! easy!

>> shannon: i want to update on a night court case. david clark did not violate free speech with facebook posts. he shook his head at a sheriff and wrote a facebook post. now the passenger claims they were threatening posts and violated his right to free speech and it only took the two

hours to decide. time for tonight's night court. we pass no judgment on the stories but pass them to you for consideration. a group is challenging a missouri state law which requires women seeking abortion to get a booklet saying life begins at conception. the case was heard at the missouri supreme courts. they say the law violates the constitution's establishment claus and the constitution's restoration act. we have our legal eagles here. he has volunteered and been good enough to represent the state so don't blast him on twitter and a former criminal defense attorney and former federal attorney will represent missouri state. welcome to you both. >> good to be here, shannon. >> shannon: here's the state of the argument. even if they alleged a restriction on free exercise of religion because she said her

religion, a satanist tells her no life begins at conception. there's a compelling state understand and not unduly restrict ond her asserted exercise of religion. how do you respond? >> so to the jury. first, these people are not devil worshippers. they use the title for branding what they are is anti-government intrusion and individual liberty people and go around trying to make sure government doesn't interfere with the individual liberties. the irony is catholic church and satan temple and others have someone in common, hobby lobby. they believe government should not be involved in reproductive rights of women and by the way, it's not just a booklet. they have to wait a 72-hour period and have to sign off on the document that says conception is where a human

being is -- >> shannon: they've read it not but agree. >> and have to wait 72 hours. the group is saying the satan is government. they have no right to interfere with the reproductive rights of women and they're using hobby lobby -- the evangelical catholic church that said the affordable health care act should not mandate hobby lobby, force them to buy insurance with contraception. they're using it to say same here. i think they'll have a good argument constitutionally. >> shannon: let's bring in emily. this is what the satanic temple spokesman said -- choosing the satanist temple as your branding is an interesting choice whether you believe in it or not. no medical or other compelling reasons nor -- for the law.

the law is intended to punish women who disagree with the opinion. why should it be upheld? >> it's inflamed rhetoric. the bottom line is the informed consent laws, as you stated earlier clearly serve compelling interests and not unduly restricted on this woman's exercise of religion. the united states supreme court has taken a hand-off approach to the individual state's decision of pre-abortion laws and informed consent laws. missouri has a conservative approach. half the state requires a waiting period and almost 40 require counselling and 10 require ultra sound viewings and five require communication that life begins at conception. the reason this case is before the missouri supreme court is on

a jurisdictional issue. it's not the lower courts decided in favor of plaintiffs. in 1989 the u.s. supreme court showed indifference from missouri courts and said we know a holding allows for a governmental regulation in the abortion field that wouldn't have held up under prior supreme court laws. essentially they're letting missouri have autonomy and if it gets before a supreme court they'll support it as well. >> shannon: we'll see what the missouri supreme court decides. let us know what you think at shannon bream you'd decide the case. no hate memes. have a great weekend. after the break what you need to know about what's coming up this weekend.

>> couple of things look out

for this weekend. tomorrow is international holocaust remembrance day. let's watch most seeing you bac p.m. monday. sean hannity is next. >> sean: welcome to "hannity." firing now, president trump is firing back at "the new york times" calling the ordering of robert mueller as fake news. this is the biggest non-story ever being hyped by the liberal media that we all know hates president trump. the reason the brain-dead partisan press is breathlessly spreading the fake news in their echo chamber is because they want to create a distraction. they do not want you, the american people, to know with the biggest story in their life times that involve real evidence of wrongdoings and crimes they have missed. it's been a huge week of revelations about corruptions at the
