more but you are not going to want to miss it. have a great time with family, fly the flag if you can. shannon bream are all over the latest news memo and more all over the next hour. good night v. a good weekend. . >> shannon: hello and welcome to "fox news @ night" mime shannon bream tonight from new york. phase 1 is complete it is now on to phase to with the release of the memo. this is just the beginning, not the end. first, the investigation into alleged abuse of surveillance laws in order to spy on the trump campaign summarized in today's declassified memo. next investigations into other agencies including the state department. we've got team coverage tonight on this breaking story. ed henry following the fall out for top doj and fbi officials. loren blanchard tracking a memo
12:01 am
the democrats want release. but we begin with catherine herridge who was the first journalist to get excerpts of the memo what does it say and what does it prove? >> it all again confirming the president had used his authority as commander in chief to fully declassify the memo without chang changes. the memo paints a troubling picture. >> staff memo makes the case that the secret national security court was kept in the dark by the fbi and justice department when they sought and secured a surveillance warrant for trump campaign aid carter page. the former british spy who was paid by democrats to put together the trump dossier had a personal animus toward the presidential nominee. christopher steele admitted his feelings against then candidate trump when steele said he quote:
12:02 am
o'er was recently demoted over his contacts with steele and glenn simpson whose opposition research firm fusion gps directed the trump project. o'er's wife nellie worked for fusion gps and began investigating trump as early as may 2016. republican investigators say the court was never told about the dossier's split cal roots, neither the fisa application in 2016 disclosed the role of the dnc, clinton campaign or any party campaign in funding steele's effort. even though they were then known to senior doj and fbi officials. according to the memo, deputy fbi director andrew mccabe testified before the committee in december 2017 that no surveillance warrant would have been sought without the steele dossier information. mccabe was removed earlier this week.
12:03 am
brit at this records show fusion gps briefed half a dozen media outlets in the fall of 2016 but the majority did not go with the story. one who did was apparently used to just identify fbi surveillance. the carter page fisa application cited a september 23rd, 2016, yahoo news article by michael isikoff which focuses on a jewel 2016 trip to moscow. page denied working with the russians. >> i have never broken any law or done anything untoward in russia or relating to any russian person. >> according to the memo an fbi counter intelligence chief said the corroboration of the steele dossier was in the early stages even as the initial fisa was submitted. comey later testified he told the president reflect at trump tower the dossier was quote salacious and unverified but it was used repeatedly to review
12:04 am
the surveillance of page, by comey, deputy mccabe then obama sally yates and rod rosenstein. >> republicans raise a specter of legality over the trump dossier. today the attorney general sent a formal repersonal to the inspector general. >> shannon: catherine herridge on top of this story for months now. thank you very much. we return to chief correspondent ed henry and claims the president is ready to release top doj officials. what do you know about that? >> there's a lot of talk, the white house denies it. new tonight two congress depression al sources are saying devin nunes had a private meeting that the deputy attorney general threatened to open an investigation of congress. fbi director chris store wray,
12:05 am
rosenstein grew so angry he threatened to subpoena emails from the house intelligence community despite obvious separation of power issues. congress al republicans and just it's department of president trump who today told people this memo was a disgrace. since rosenstein was a part of renewing the fisa warrants that led to whether the president still has confidence in his deputy attorney general. he seemed lukewarm. [ inaudible question ] >> president trump: thank you very much. [ inaudible question ] . >> president trump: you figure that one out. >> well tonight white house spokesman said the president has no plans to fire rosenstein and he expects him to continue in his job. rosenstein appointed robert mueller to lead the russia probe after jeff sessions reexcused
12:06 am
himse himself. while democrats on the intelligence committee led by adam schiff charge nunes designed this memo, the chairman insisted otherwise in an exclusivity interview with fox's bret baier. you know there are some members who are useing this to question the mueller investigation. are you separating the two? >> i think what's happening is i think the mainstream media and the democrats are tying this to the mueller investigation. because they're trying to perpetuate this nonsense of obstruction of justice because they've left the russia collusion issue. they know there was no collusion. >> no evidence yet of collusion as nunes said. but these investigations are continuing tonight on two tracks. mueller still probing potential obstruction of justice charges while. nunes and the inspector general are basically investigating the investigators. >> shannon: thank you so much. the democrats have their own memo they want released and
12:07 am
there are republicans would be publicly supporting that move. good evening loren. >> democrats want the chance to get their own counter memo out into the public. the top democrat says he believes the white house will have no choice but to publish their version. >> i think the president would be hard pressed to try to suppress this memo, particularly since they claim they're releasing the gop memo in the interest of transparency. so i think they're going to be forced to release it. >> the house intel committee democrats released a statement today detailing their plan to bring up their memo for a vote on monday. they want to layout the serious mischaracterizations in the gop's memo about the fisa applications. democrats say their memo would layout more context for why carter page was being investigated, saying the fbi would have good reason to be concerned about page. like the republicans, the democrats memo would have to be voted out of committee and then
12:08 am
president trump would have five days to review it and approve or deny its release. >> we're going through the process, the majority did not, because we do want to make sure that we protect sources and methods. and i would expect that our memo is likely to be redacted. because we're giving the agencies that opportunity. >> the chairman of the house intelligence committee devin nunes telling special report he's fine bringing up the democrats memo for a vote despite that committee rejecting the motion by representative schiff this past monday to do just that. >> will you vote to release the democrats memo? >> yeah, we will. >> when is that going to happen? >> but it has to go through the same process. >> when do you think it will be released? >> hard to say. i don't know yet. >> the white house says it stands ready to work with congressional members however if the white house does deny the release the issue then goes to
12:09 am
the entire house of representatives for a vote. >> shannon: loren blanchard live for us tonight in dc. thank you. our next guest says what he's seen proves he's been right all along, it's built on congressman, great to see you tonight. >> good to see you shannon. >> let's talk about some of the reaction today. this is from richard house, a tweet from him. the it says: the memo fails to discredit the substance of the case or deal with other justifications for monitoring page. are we only hearing part of the story in this memo? >> absolutely not. you had a circumstance here where fisa warrants were reauthorized based on faulty information. this dossier was so uncredible they had to have the yahoo news article planted by christopher
12:10 am
steele to function as the validating information. meanwhile the democrat party is buying their way into the justice department. dnc money goes to a law firm which goes to fusion gps. they hire christopher steele to make up the dirt, and then they hire nellie ohr, the wife of bruce ohr. let's remember bruce ohr's charge at the justice department is to deal with counter narcotics and drug enforcement. at the same time his wife is hired by fusion gps he starts taking counter intelligence meetings and validating this information paid for into the justice department and the fbi and ultimately it's so bogus it has to be validated by a yahoo news article planted by christopher steele. >> shannon: we don't yet know how much a percentage of the basis for the application for the warrant was based on the dossier. we know it was at least part of it. would you support the declassification of the fisa
12:11 am
application so we know more about that? would you support voting for what the democrats want to release in their memo which they say paints the rest of the picture and gives context to everything something. >> we do know what andrew mccabe said. he's no talking head for the republican party. he said but for this dossier there never would have been a fisa memo. >> shannon: you know there are democrats who are denying that. they were there, they read, seen or heard the testimony themselves and said it was not a credible accusation. >> that is a verifiable fact. i do support any information they would like to provide. they're all over the place. first the democrats voted against allowing members of congress to see this information, they said it was just a distraction. i think all the american people can see now there is merit into looking into why you would have fisa warrants issued based on a political opposition memo for the first time in american history this has happened. let's have a public debate about it.
12:12 am
they've done something tricky, they embedded into their memo sources and methods. as bad as some of us would want to release that immediately it has to undergo the same process so we don't put people in danger. their claims should be deemed so uncredible. remember days ago when democrats were saying if we release the republican memo people will be in danger, blood will be on the hands of devin nunes and the republicans. i think the american people can see how outrageous those claims were. this is information we need. >> shannon: i've read the memo myself. people can do it and decide whether or not there's something in there. it seems like something you would reed in a newspaper article or a first year law class. it wouldn't live up to those claims. that does raise some questions. i want to reed a letter from top democrats in house and senate to the president today saying this: director and the department of
12:13 am
justice department was a transparent attempt to discredit the hard working men and women of law enforcement who are investigating russia's interference. now we saw this speaker ryan said days ago he doesn't want republicans connecting these two. these are two separate issues, you shouldn't bring the russia issue into this. is it possible to see the two things, interpret them separately for what they are or are the democrats right this is about discrediting the russia investigation. >> i would say that this is far bigger than russia or donald trump or even the mueller probe. this is the first time in american history that politics has weapon thighs did the fbi and of course the fbi and department of justice have been fighting to keep this information away from the american people. look at what they did. they ultimately fire christopher steele. they remove the authorization for payment for him and then they go and reauthorize wire tapping on american citizens based on information that they
12:14 am
knew was false based on an author of a dossier that they had already let go. then they never told that to a fisa court. think about that. they never told the fisa judge that they had to release christopher steele for not being credible. this is not an adversarial court system where there's a defense attorney. this is a secret court with a prosecutor and a judge. they made fundamental misrepresentations of fact and omission to those judges and ultimately that's bigger than mueller. that's bigger than trump and russia. it's about the foundation of our democracy and the institutions we must trust to the preserve it. >> shannon: we'll talk about some of those issues about the fisa court, how it works and what can be done to reaffirm or establish some credibility in the eyes of americans who maybe don't understand all nuances about it. congress matt gates thank you for joining us. >> big day for the markets, investors sold everything, stocks, bonds, commodities.
12:15 am
wage growth made some worry that the feds will raise interest rates sooner rather than later. u.s. employers hired more people in january than economists had forecast. 200,000 jobs were added, 20,000 more than expected. wage growths had been sluggish. but it shot up 2.9% increasing at the fastest rate since 2009. inflation makes some investors nervous. ice agents in northern california searching 77 businesses in one of the largest raids since president trump took office. immigration and customs enforcement director has said in the past california better hold on tight, those were his words after declaring itself a sanctuary state last month. they hit the san francisco bay area. one attorney said the size and scope of the operation was unprecedented. the father of three girls abused by former team u.s.a. doctor
12:16 am
larry nassar tried to attack him in court. it happened during sentencing days. randall march graves had asked the judge for five minutes alone with nassar. of course the judge refused. two of his daughters had just addressed the court to talk about their experiences. a few hours later the father apologized. >> i look over here and larry nassar is shaking his head no, like it didn't happen. who would put their self through this, if it didn't happen? i lost control. i apologize 100 times. >> shannon: the judge offered her condolences and said there's not going to be any punishment for that dad. >> we're going to continue our coverage on the fisa member. are they playing reverse psychology? we'll discuss the political fall out. mccain says the republicans are doing putin's job for him.
12:17 am
12:21 am
closing with the release of the memo. the president clearly believes he's got the political mojo at this point. so right? host of mornings on the mall and juan williams. good to see you both tonight. >> nice to see you, shannon. >> shannon: we've heard from the democrats saying this is all about undermining mueller. i thought it was interesting that trey gowdy saw all the underlying intelligence said this, as i have repeatedly said i also remain 100% confident in special counsel robert mueller. the contents of this memo do not in any way discredit his investigation. juan are these claims about being discrediting just smoke? >> no, i think that in fact speaker of the house paul ryan said very much the same thing that he believes in the mueller investigation, thinks it should
12:22 am
continue as clearly in the polls of the majority of the american people do, it's overwhelming. when you put out this kind of memo i don't think there's any question it damages the reputation of the fbi. we the listened to your very good interview of congressman gates. he was saying the fbi was biased and used plaolitically weapon es did i think he said in a way that was intended to damage one political candidates campaign. if you believe that and you believe the deputy did he want and in particular rod rosenstein signed off on fisa requests knowing this was false, of course as an american you would say, hey that's not us, that's not the american people. that's wrong. so that would therefore call into question the entire probe. >> shannon: alright. well there are republicans cluting trey gowdy that says that's not when it's about. another tweet comes to us from
12:23 am
former secretary of state john kerry, i can see vince smiling about this. it says the nunes memo is dangerous, ugly and an assault on the institutions of our country. i lived through watergate, nixon, america pays a steep price: >> vince, today i thought it was interesting that chairman nunes said this was only phase 1, this memo you got today. our next move is looking at the state department and who role they may have played. >> you just remember, think back to the conclusion of the election, you had democrats questioning the fbi and the role it played in making hillary clinton lose the election because james comey was going out in public and saying things in an unconventional manner
12:24 am
about the nature of her investigation. so now all of a sudden questions about the fbi's integrity are considered attacks on anticipate try at this many when this is about both parties trying to call attention when appropriate to times when they think the decisions by the fbi are the wrong ones. i think that at any given moment we should be skeptical especially the way a secret court conducts itself. a court who conducts all of its operations in secrecy is going to be prone to make a couple of errors away from the direction of civil liberties. i'm looking for civil listen teariance on the left. i don't know where they went. up until recently most of them would have said you know what? you need good evidence to spy on an american citizen and i think that's in question today. >> shannon: this is something that has drawn people across the spectrum. the idea of fisa and the courts and do you think there is common ground that people can say all
12:25 am
americans should be asking questions about this and exactly how it worked? as an average citizen regardless of your party you should be concerned about getting answers. >> of course. let me the point out that devin nunes who led this voted for the reauthorization of the patriot act recently and the fisa court. so that when you see is they're saying yes we believe in the fisa court, believe in what they're doing, they had the opportunity at that point to ask the questions. i think this is quite separate. of course we all want to make sure our liberties are protected and people are not unfairly targeted by government. but shannon in this instance it looks like you have people going after our institutions. i think this is what former secretary of state kerry was referring. to going after an institution that has been widely respected by the american people, and not just fbi but then justice and others. >> shannon: very quickly vince i want to make sure you have a chance, is this about going after institutions or about
12:26 am
people who may have misinformed those institutions? >> look i think there needs to be a distinction here. there's such a thing here as distinction deniers, people who refuse to see the difference between questioning things that have evidence here like political appoint ease making pardee situations and political ones versus saying we're attacking the rafrpg and file of the fbi. that's just not happening. there's questioning about the leadership here and there's good reason for that. it's because you have the clinton campaign leading a guy that they paid to the fbi's doorstep and getting him to help kick start an investigation into people within the trump campaign. that seems to be based on very, very thin evidence. i'm looking forward to all of it. >> there's nothing about the substance. >> shannon: if it's about the substance of what was presented to the fisa court that is the discussion. we've got to leave it there. i thank you both. i hope you a fantastic weekend both of you. >> we miss you? >> we do? >> shannon: see you soon. that's is it?
12:27 am
what does james comey think about continue versus i can't fisa memo released today? we'll be digging in deeper to his tweet tirade. and former trump campaign aid carter page is ram ping up his lawsuits in the wake of the memo. 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.
12:31 am
. >> shannon: welcome back to "fox news @ night" from new york city. james comey and other officials named in the house intelligence memo note the dossier may have only been a small percentage of the information presented to judges in order to get multiple fisa fisa. january than hunt joins us now. >> james comey has been rivalling president trump for tweet tirades in recent days. today was no different. his latest coming after continue versus i can't memo was released and making full use of twitter's expanded character count the former fbi director wrote, quote, that's it?
12:32 am
dishonest and misleading memo wrecked the house intel committee, destroyed trust with intelligence community, damaged fisa court and in excuse blue disclosed classified information of an american citizen, for what? doj and fbi must keep doing their jobs. that followed thursday's twitter claim that, quote, weasels and lie as never hold the field. so long as good people stand up. not a lot of schools or streets named for joe mccarthy. a reference to the senator who held hearings in the 1950's it try to root out in the u.s. government. some on the left blaming him for hillary clinton's loss after he announced the re-opening of the clinton email investigation eleven days before the presidential investigation. since he was fired by president trump, some republicans have also soured on comey.
12:33 am
congressman peter king for instance criticizing today's memo tweet. >> that was just a political response. he has not disputed one fact in this four page report. this is a devastating indictment of his tenure at the fbi. >> recently comey has been teaching an eth 24iics course a has kept himself busy on twitter. comey has never directly mentioned president trump in a tweet. if he's trying to counter the president's fbi narrative, twitter might not be the best memo. comey has an unimpressive 708 followers, but the president has 47 million. >> shannon: thank you. senator john mccain taking on his old rival president trump for a proving the release felt memo. saying quote if we continue to undermine our own rule of law we are doing putin's job for him.
12:34 am
that said the trump administration has been talking tough on moscow in recent days. we have that story tonight. amy? >> shannon there really wasn't much reaction in russia to ambassador haley's pointed comments. i think after the u.s. treasury department essentially naming and shaming of the 200 or so most connected, rich and powerful russians, essentially implying that the entire regime is tainted i don't think this comes as too much of a shock. frankly russian official dom was focused on other things. the battle of stall listen grad, a turning point in world war ii and a point of both pride and pain for russia. this is hours earlier, ambassador haley made a statement that you could say harkened back to the cold war. >> russia is not our friend. there may be some things we can work with them on, and we should do that when we can.
12:35 am
but russia is not, will not be our friend as long as their government has the values that it has, and as long as it conducts itself the way it does internationally. >> frankly a lot of russians felt the publication of the list of the rich was punishment for a foreign policy the u.s. is not happy with. pretty much the whole regime is on it. >> everyone is on that list. everyone. so there's nothing to say. it's a generalized approach. worth noting that i everyone has been called an adversary of the united states. >> now some russians admitted that the publication of this list will probably have some economic impact on russia and certainly reputational damage will be done. others kind of brushed it off as a mere copy paste of forbes recent russia rich list and also the kremlin's phone directory. president putin himself was
12:36 am
rather czar ksarcastic about ite used an expression the dogs will bark but the caravan moves on, which i understand that people will make the noise they feel they need it make but things will continue on basically as they are. shannon? . >> shannon: time now for where in the world? let's start with spain. sta standi handing over a russian, two u.s. marshals tonight. peter was arrested on vacation in barcelona. he was linked to billions of spam emails. he says the case is politically motivated. the olympic torch making its way across south korea. through a south korean mountain range this afternoon. recollectix tillerson kicking o

12:41 am
12:42 am
you argued a case or presented a case at the fisa court. it's a fair thing. people wonder what goes on in there. it's secret for a lot of good reasons. one of the things that has always concerned me is it's an ex parte proceeding. one side is represented. you can't notify someone who is about to be surveilled you may want to send someone over for this hearing. the american people hear about this and wonder is it fair when it's so one sided? >> you know when the patriot act so-called was reauthorized in 2015 this sort of ombudsman role was heavily discussed. it got i think as far as it's ever gone. and like you said, unlike criminal cases, where eventually a defendant will learn about the process leading up to their charge, that doesn't happen in what amounts to a national security investigation, except on those very rare instances
12:43 am
that criminal charges do result. but you don't know that you're being spied upon. you don't know that a warrant has been obtained on you. and the like you said there can be very good reasons. but i think this memo, in addition to the political disputes, what does it mean for trump or mueller? it also is really bringing into focus for a lot of americans who have never seen it before just how unaccountable the fisc really is. and what i hope comes out of this is some reforms that provide some sort of check or balance within the process, just like you described. >> shannon: when people look at the statistics, a lot of this will never be public but those who do try to track the cases it's rare before it's presented and it goes through a long process to get there. by the time the application makes it there it's exceptionally rare it gets turned down. the bottom line is this memo firmly confirms that somebody
12:44 am
colluded with the russians and that somebody even used laundered money to pay for campaign dirt that was partially paid for by russian agents. that somebody was not the trump campaign. that should matter a great deal to mueller. so where does this investigation go from here? the espns from james comey on twitter was, that's it? my response being a child of the 80's, where's the beef? what was this memo supposed to tell us? all it told us was carter page was a nobody, an irrelevant nothing. he had no involvement of any substance in the came pain. never talked to then candidate trump. was surveilled three weeks after he left the campaign. he was no longer part of it. and a mere two or three weeks before election day, this is the big scandal is that they surveilled carter page at that .2 or three weeks before the election itself, someone who had been on the doj's radar since 2013 for communicating with
12:45 am
russian intelligence officers? >> shannon: do you not think it's important they didn't tell them a lot of information? if you don't tell them this information some of it at least comes from someone being funded by the democrats and opposition campaign and the fact that the fbi was paying him at one point that there were other allegations that the judge never knew about, if i was one of the fisa judges i would have a lot of questions about what i learned today. >> that's very legitimate. what has and has not been clarified so far today? first of all mr. steele was never paid by the fbi as part of this particular issue. they were considering it, ultimately backed off on doing that. that we now know is this memo was a three page summary of a 50 something page submission. ken knows about how detailed they are, and the fact it's presumed that an informant such as mr. steele will have some kind of bias, judges are used to that, they understand that. what we don't know is how much was truly told to the judge. there's disputes now in the public record of how much he did or didn't it know.
12:46 am
how much the judge knew about the extent of mr. steele's employment affiliation in terms of who was he working for? now we know he knew some of the information. how much detail was provided is certainly a matter of concern. nothing in the memo truly got into the details because we have a summary, not the full application. >> shannon: with that in mind, we've got to go. i want to ask you yes or no do you think the fisa application should object would ever go public? ken? yes, part of it. >> at least part of it has got to become part of it just to clear the air. >> shannon: bradley, ken thank you for lending us your legal expertise. former trump campaign carter page is the guy. he's taking yahoo news and the huffington post to court. why he says today's court bolsters those claims against those entities. our legal shawn evans: it's 6 am. 40 million americans are waking up to a gillette shave. and at our factory in boston,
12:47 am
1,200 workers are starting their day building on over a hundred years of heritage, craftsmanship and innovation. today we're bringing you america's number one shave at lower prices every day. putting money back in the pockets of millions of americans. as one of those workers, i'm proud to bring you gillette quality for less, because nobody can beat the men and women of gillette. gillette - the best a man can get.
12:50 am
12:51 am
russia. cited the news report which the memo claims the fbi used to corroborate the so-called dirty dossier but at pair the recently it was the author of the dossier who leaked material to ya other news. if that's not confusing enough, we'll figure it out for you, in a statement page says this, i look forward to updating my pending opposition to the department of justice department this weekend in preparation for next monday's small step on the long potholed road to restoring law and order to your great country. david bruno and bob biancotti. great to have you both with us. i'm going to reed from the original article back in 2016 that has upset mr. page. this is what it says about him. some of those briefed were taken back when they learned about page's contacts in moscow viewing him as a possible back channel to the russians that
12:52 am
could undercut u.s. foreign policy said a source. he was not too happy about it. >> his slander suit filed by him pro se is a lot of what came out in this memo and we know there's a lot more information that did not come out, verifies that when he says is slander is true. and truth is an absolute defense to a slander suit. unfortunately an ironic twist of fate for mr. page, his slander dispute has just gone down the tubes. >> are you saying the truth is they were quoting there a dossier they believed to be true or the contents of the dossier are true? >> the contents of what the dossier is saying is with respect to what was reported have in fact that he is being looked at for having contacts with the russians is in fact turning out to be correct. he has admitted to the media, which is another problem he has. you're arguing my reputation has
12:53 am
been damaged but he has said yes i met kislyak, i did have encounters with the russians, i did go there. a lot of this is verified. i think the slander suit is gone. >> shannon: he is denying some of the things alleged against him. he said they should have known it was a dirty dossier, here is part of his complaint on september 23rd, 2016, in perh s perhaps: that's a lot of adjectives the yahoo news department of defendant subsidiary yahoo chose to publish a highly misleading article. what are his best claim? >> his claim now, he does have to get rid of the defamation claim. because one of his points was he wasn't under investigation. now the we clearly know he was. there were warrants that got him wire tapped against him. >> shannon: what about his specific claims there were meetings and things they allege that he didn't attend and he had
12:54 am
no part of. >> those claims could still be pursued. but not that he wasn't under investigation, that's clear. now he can amend his complaint. i would imagine that he would amend it that his constitutional rights were violated, 4th amendment rights against unlawful searches and season sewers. they secured this wiretap, this warrant against him and they did not have probable cause. the argument is that the director comey was the one who approved it, and signed it, at least part of it. and he later said that it was unverified and salacious to donald trump two weeks later. you can't have it both ways t can't be unverified and salacious and also be credible enough to be supporting probable cause. >> carter page would be out of his mind to continue with discovery. i have to disagree with my friend here. listen, we know for years before he was on the radar. the papadopoulos information came to you and he was an associate of the trump campaign. the steele dossier came out,
