thank you to all of you and to my panel. we will see you all next week. >> the president accusing democrats of playing politics with sensitive and classified information after he refused to declassify the parties memo yesterday and sent it back to the house intelligence committee for changes. the document drafted by congressman adam schiff was intended as a rebuttal to the gop memo written by devin nunes. hello everyone welcome inside "americas news headquarters". >> good afternoon to you. schiff and other democrats must limit the president for his decision accusing him of hypocrisy after he decided to release the new note memo last

week which they claim also included classified information. molly is live at the white house with more. >> hi! it is not just that it needs to be revised according to the president, the president also says the democrats wrote the memo in a way that they knew it would not pass the national security test. in a tweet this morning the president said quote - the democrats sent a very political and long response memo which they knew because of sources and methods and more would have to be heavily redacted. whereupon they would blame the white house for lack of transparency. he told them to redo and send back improper forms. the republican memo released last week so the fbi got the okay from his secret fisa court to spurn the former trump campaign advisor. -- democrats want their chance to fight back but the memo has not been declassified yet.

and democrats on capitol hill say it should be. senate minority leader, chuck schumer said in a statement yesterday quote - the president double standard when it comes to transparency is appalling. the rationale releasing the nina's memo transparency, vanishes when it could have information harmful to him. millions of americans are asking once about question. what is he hiding? house minority leader, nancy pelosi said quote - the present decision to block the democratic memo from release as part of a dangerous and desperate pattern of cover on part of the president. the president has something to hide. >> republican congressman devin nunes is urging his democratic counterpart, to make deductions. he goes on to -- so this can be declassify the soonest possible. >> a member of the president speechwriting team has stepped

down after his ex-wife accused him of domestic abuse. david sorensen resignation comes days after another white house staff, rob porter, announced his departure made similar allegations from two former spouses. ellison barber has more from washington. >> the president on twitter this morning addressing domestic violence allegations against his now former staffers he wrote in part quote - people's lives are being shattered and destroyed by a mere allegation. some are true and some are false.is there no such thing any longer as due process? in less than one week to help white house officials have been accused of domestic abuse. speechwriter david sorensen his ex-wife told the washington post he was abusive during their marriage. sorensen denies the allegations and says that his wife abused him. the white house is a sorensen resigned on friday. two days before he resigned rob

porter resigned after two of his ex-wives accused him of abuse. portis first wife gave these photos to fox news. her eyes swollen and healing. she said he punched her in the eye while on vacation in italy. his second wife had this to say in an interview. >> i told them all of the details of my marriage including verbal and emotional abuse when he pulled me out of the shower. they were also made aware of the protective order that i had in june 2010. there were also made aware of a time when i had called the police to our home after a domestic violence encounter. >> white house chief of staff general john kelly reportedly found out about the allegations against porter in the fall and the washington post claims when you're going white house counsel don mcgann found out that porters ex-wife planned to make accusations that could threaten the aids security

clearance. kelly initially defended porter once the photos were released. he issued a statement saying in part, he was shocked by the new allegations. in washington, i am ellison barber, fox news. >> thank you! >> the white house dismissing reports that the chief of staff, john kelly, could be resigning over his handling of domestic violence claims. i guess the former staffer, rob porter. kelly is reportedly saying that he was not fully aware of the allegations until just this week. join me now we have usa today reporter, eliza -- john kelly has said he would be willing to stop down over the way he handled the accusations of abuse of a former staff member. the white house is denying that. what is the real story here? >> we really don't know. we've heard before general john kelly brings up resignations in the past is even a way to sort of hone in on a message and get the president to fight back but

the white house is denying it. and it is being reward to have meadows to replace and predestined white house has not reached out. we do not know anything about this. as of right now, you might be hearing that he is going to step down but who would replace him, we do not know. white house is saying that he is not even saying that. here is the problem. the white house is having obviously in particular general kelly, when did he know?that is especially important. in the original statement it defended porter and says that rob porter is a man of integrity and honor and i cannot say good enough things about 50 different compound interest to professional. that was later updated after a photo scene here of portis first wife with a black eye. it attracted massive attention.

and then in part kelly said i am shopping allegation release date as reported. there is no place for domestic violence in our society. his revised statement came because there is new information, new intelligence that come out. there were no new accusations. they been there years. the fbi interview the ex-wives. the only thing it was this photograph that i just proved it. is it possible someone heard the story but did not believe this until they saw evidence? >> as possible. the statement about rob porter seems to be what everyone transferred one of the ex-wives went on to say what he did to me has nothing to do with what he did in the white house. i think that he would be a

trusting person in the white house it is difficult to separate the person you know from what we are hearing people really do not know what general kelly new. that is the key part. and if all it took was a photo to change his mind it means he knew a lot more than they're letting on. >> general kelly's statement basically talking about how he was shocked and there's no room for domestic violence. that is a good thing. we needed to hear that from the general. then he went back on his comments because he said he still start by his prior comments about porter which work highly positive. which in many peoples eyes does not go well for him since porter resigned and when you resigned from his position this incredible, you do not resign because there is not some truth behind what you have been accused of. >> right. but we have to remember that the president is still dependent rob porter and saying the same as john kelly. doesn't really make it for

general kelly to be forced to resign to singapore did a good job when the president is also saying that. porter did a good job and he is basically leaving a big question mark saying that if there is any due process, some people are still innocent. he examines after of course there were two aides that resigned. general kelly seems to be echoing what the president is saying. >> at the white house did have prior knowledge of porters alleged domestic abuse history, the question is, who should take the false. kelly the fbi officials who interviewed him in the months prior to him actually getting the job and essentially, dad them enough information that he was denied full security clearance. is it really general kelly's job and fault to not know everything what you claim he did not know until this past week when the photograph came out? who takes the fall here? >> i cannot even speculate. we have no idea. i think it all comes down to who, what and when. the timeline and if it was just

being or if there were allegations that were denied. there is a lot more 70 percent will make john kelly for saint we trust you and then the photo came out. but if they knew all of this and were sitting on it that is a problem.>> how does this look for general kelly? they do not want any negative press the white house clearly wants us to go away. does this go away by asking general kelly to resign so that they are not or at least the administration does not look culpable in any way, shape or form? >> i do not think that john kelly will take this away because president trump is bring it up. he tweeted about it today. he continues the conversation longer. >> that is what he does. he defends his people. he is going to defend those who have been loyal to him. it is not to say that he is condoning it. any of the stem behavior. he is saying is very sad and

disappointing but again, he will defend his general. will that be enough for them to silently slip away? i have a feeling not. that is time we have. eliza, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> right now a fox news alert. they're expecting a briefing from police sometime this afternoon following the tragic shooting death of two police officers earlier today. they were reportedly responding to a 911 hang-up call. brian yanez is following the elements from our newsroom. what can you tell us about this shooting in ohio? >> we are understanding this all went down around noon local time. that number one hang-up call came in as an officer bonded to the scene. this all happened in westerville ohio. this is about 15 miles north of columbus crew the population about 40,000 people. westerville police tell fox news the officers received a 911 hang-up call. police officers responded to

the scene to investigate and they were shot. initially the report one officer killed and another in critical condition. our affiliates are reporting a second officer died at the hospital. that is to officers who have died in this tragic incident. fox news has obtained audio of the police scanner. the promise that the call came in that two of their own had been shot. [inaudible] >> to officers down and critical. >> that is a horrific call there. he heard in the call there, the suspect was shot but we do not know the suspects condition at this time. this is a police, a photo of the police and fire departments preparing for the arrival of one of the officers bodies at the franklin county corners office. the governor of ohio, john kasich is asking for folks to lift up the families of these officers with prayers.

overturned and crashed in a hong kong road today killing at least 18 people on board. more than 50 others were hurt. some of the passengers are trapped inside of the bus. they had to be cut free. witnesses say it appears the driver was speeding.police are investigating. >> the white house is calling for the immediate release of a sick iranian-american man in prison in iran. the 81-year-old was ordered back to prison after a four-day medical leave. he and his son were sentenced to 10 years in prison on charges they spied for the us while on vacation in iran. the family says that hand assemble political ponds and larger fight over the iran nuclear deal. >> they've done nothing wrong. they are unjustly tried.

i would imagine only that they must be victims to some horrific game that my family cannot understand and expose my family to such horrific conditions is just so cruel and unjust. >> this is a former director of communications both purse at the united states mission to the united nations. he joins us not to weigh in on this issue. jonathan, this, and with a good heart and a good mind and good soul is problematic this is because you are shaking their heads and what is going on? particularly given the fact that this 81-year-old man worked for unicef for two decades. which is united nations children's relief. they're working in countries to save children from disaster situations. what is going on? >> you're right, this man

dedicated his career to helping the most needy people in the world and finds himself in prison being accused of spying. it is grotesque. his son, even though it he was lured into showing it to iran he was you can visit your son thinking that okay, the opening things up so i can have a little humanitarian visit to simon boyd. and then they get him and throw him in jeopardy not only that, the diocese was a heart problem. he very well. any day now and at 81 years of age. one has to wonder how strong his heart is and if he can withstand the intense pressures of being in probably one of the most notorious prisons in iran. >> yes it is just dastardly. it is known for torture, cruelty. you know, the boy, he is actually spoken out about how his brother, he was hit with electrodes and torture.

it is really nasty. it is not a good situation at all. >> it is ghastly. american prisoners in particular, given effect of this iran nuclear deal has given them billions of dollars, us dollars and they still do this to the american people. something has got to be done. the president is vowing that he will impose more sanctions if these men are not immediately released. >> sanctions are actually necessary. you have to keep the heat up on the iranians as much as possible. one of the reasons at least i feel that we are here and i'm sure that many would agree, that we paid under the obama administration. we paid $400 million in cash to the iranians just before four americans were released.>> will remember that transport. the airplane that carried the cash, $400 million. >> ultimately ended up being a payment of $127 billion to the

iranians as ridiculous as this will sound, it was payment for a deal that the united states had made to sell arms to the shah of iran who has nothing to do with the regime in power but they are taking advantage of the money deal and transaction certainly something that they had nothing to do with. and emboldened the iranians to seize more americans. >> i do not want to editorialize. a lot of people look at this and see this as sheer evil. and the regime would impose this kind of danger situation. let me go to at the state department is officially same. this is from the state department spokesperson says quote - we are deeply disappointed in the fact that he, referring to the prisoner. he has returned to prison. where consent of his health and recall for his release and that renews our call for all

americans who are being held in iran and being held unjustly to be returned to the united states. she mentioned all americans. let me look at the list your business 2007, robert levinson has been in prisons. -- wang resident crisis team, a princeton student was visiting. then -- was running an art gallery in tehran, was just sentenced to 27 years in prison because of his religious identity or her religious identity. >> yes, the issue here is that the iranians, for decades, have been terrible to other religious groups. if you are not part of their hard-core belief you are an

outsider. >> what can the united states do to protect its citizens and get it citizens back and to make iran buckle down under not only un sanctions but the respect for the rule of law and the respect for human life? >> there are steps they certainly do not do and that is not to get yourself into some sort of ransom situation. because you can fix the problem. we are here now so do not go there if you can avoid it. it was not just cash back in the obama days. seven iranians were released from us prisons and 14 iranians have extradition charges dropped. they got editors moneywise into boys. you know, you can enter negotiations and you can work out some sort of way to do this in the case of the obama negotiations. the swiss were working with and acting as mediators between the

united states and iranians. there is nothing wrong with using a middleman to drive to get to the result that you want and maybe that is what we need to do in a quiet way. but we really cannot -- we really have to be strong and shall resolve. >> we spend a lot of time with this and i have to end this but i want to quickly ask you about the fact that the israeli plane was shot down by syria? what does that say? >> no it doesn't. israeli fighter jet has not been shut down for decades in 1982, when there was a firefight with syrians, that was last time we have seen something like that. an f-16 plane is a huge deal. the only financially, and airplane like that cost half $1 billion if not more. in the israeli pilots and in bad shape. >> we can delve into that and will be probably seeing about coming up in a situation where

jonathan, always good to have you. >> good to be here. >> we are waiting a conference any moment now. stay tuned for that in westerville ohio were two police officers were brutally gunned down and killed. the suspect in custody. the police department there expected to be speaking live. as soon as that happens will bring it to you here. stay with us. plus, the white house asking democrats to redo their memo about alleged surveillance abuse at the fbi. but did the democrats expect pushback from the president even before spending it?our panels will discuss. and after being found guilty of killing two california sheriff deputies, that is a some difficulty pick your watch punishment prosecutors are pushing for. next. >> this killer is a despicable human being. >> there is really no joy. it is more of a quiet satisfaction. ♪

westerville ohio where two police officers were shot and killed today. let us in. >> first of all, true american heroes. -- both officers gave their lives and protection of others. those are true american heroes. as was said, our westerville family and community will rally

around the immediate families of these officers that are slain while on duty. i am confident that our staff will take them under their wings and do everything possible for the families. as far as the situation, we received a 911 call at 12:02 pm this afternoon. an officer responded on a hangup call. at 12:10 pm the officers arrived on the scene. as they went into the apartment they were immediately met with gunfire and both officers were shot. one officer passed away on the scene. the other officer was transported to the hospital where he later passed away.

i also want to thank all of the agencies that have helped us out and supported us at the police department and with the investigation for the columbus police department will be handling the investigation. they're currently on the scene processing the shooting scene. we've already received and the family should know, we received condolences and pledges of support from all over the united states. these were two of the best we have. this was their calling, and they did it right.

they knew how to do police in the right way. both of them. as i said, both give their life and protection of others and that is what they lived and breathed. again, i thank everybody for everything they've done and we ask that you keep these families of the officers in your prayers. and all of the law enforcement public safety officers in the united states. they risk their lives every single day. this is evident of that. we will miss both of these officers. because they were pillars of our department. they would -- they served in so

many different capacities. and were willing to go above and beyond to help out. they helped the organization anyway they could. they dedicated their lives to our organization and i were sitting in our citizens. i ask you again to keep them in your prayers. thank you. all right. we have been listening to a very tearful explanation of a shooting that took place. a double shooting of two police officers from westerville, ohio. the police chief says they gave, speaking of the officers, they gave their lives in the protection of others. he said that they risk their lives every day and is what law enforcement does.

they were the pillars in their department, the pillars of their community. always reaching out. we should point out that at 12:02 pm they were responded to a 9-1-1 hangup call. at 12:10 pm the officers arrived at the scene. they entered into the house or apartment and were immediately fired upon. an investigation is still underway at the shooting scene. the chief went auntie sadie is with two of the best we had. they knew how to do policing. this was their life and they gave their life. this is a small town so a lot of people really know police officers. as you'd expect in a small community. there were 40,000 people, westerville, some 15 miles outside of columbus, ohio. that town is now in mourning. this is a very sad time for them this sunday afternoon.

>> very sad. our thoughts and prayers to all those affected in ohio today. we'll go back to our top story now. that is the democratic memo that we are awaiting about alleged surveillance abuse of the fbi. it will be released but not just yet. that is because the white house is asking for a redo. it says it creates significant concerns for the national security and law enforcement interest. what is in it and why was in there? the democrats, did they do it on purpose? the president tweeting that they knew would be heavily redacted but did it anyway so they could blame him for lack of transparency when it was rejected. now we have a former missouri state representative and founder of pine street strategies. and a former deputy assistant to george w. bush. thank you very much for talking to us. the democrats have apparently included classified information in their memo. the accused republicans of doing the same. so is playing politics with the

democratic memo on the fbi? >> they are! this is a fraud. have the benefit of looking at the republican memo. they use that as a rebuttal. and loaded it up with classified information knowing that the way it was written could never be released. and had another day. they wanted to give it to the fbi to the fbi to describe it. they did that and give it to the white house and this that we cannot release it as is. and the democrats went out and scream all over the place, the president does not want to release the memo. the president does want to release the response but not in its current form because it contains classified information. as the democratic ploy. another gotcha. democrats have to try again. >> did democrats know the celestial probe memo just too sensitive for public release? >> of course not. i think what democrats knew that we had been a year into this experiment now. one of the president asked with

neither integrity more consistency. i think they probably knew he would not release it regardless of what was in it. ranking member schiff has been consistent in saying that the democratic memo is a direct response to the nunes memo. they went point for point and talked about exactly specific rebuttals to what nunes talked about. we can release the nunes memo which the president did by the way over doj and fbi objections, there was nothing in this which was a direct response to that which was objectively a threat to security or could not have been released. we knew the president was not going to release it. his excuse is cute but it does not hold much water in light of him replacing the republican memo over administration objectives. >> basically democrats are contending there is a double standard. when this nunes memo was released republicans had classified information in the memo and the president released and with your will classified information on a talking about? the fact that these fisa warrants an application were given based solely on this debunked antitrust dossier?

that it were not for the fbi following with his former spy dossier that affect surveillance warrants would not be issued? because if that is the case it is a huge example of abuse by the fisa court in the fbi and department of justice. is that the classified information and talking about was that the information that democrats are talking about? >> they knew by loading up the memo it was not a rebuttal to the nunes memo. it was the opposite. to make sure that would not be released and blend the president for sending it back. all the president is doing is sending it back for reductions of the fbi is requesting. we chose when the republicans released the memo not to go to the fbi. they chose to go to the fbi. don't they trust the fbi? this is the mantra that we should be trusting fbi when

they are not earning the trust to the leadership that we have seen. and they are biased against the president. as a candidate and president-elect and now is present to request a fisa warrant application for this type of event. it is a long intricate document. does the memo, the republican memo accurately portray the warrant process as apparently it was broken in order to obtain surveillance and the information that they used in order to do so. >> thank you so much for that question. it is very important that we examine the fisa warrant application process but is a long and arduous process and it has a very high legal standard that has to be met. what you are asking is for the court to give the government the capacity to spy. which of course will hold very dear. the dossier was just a small component of a 1000 page fisa warrant application for the nunes memo essentially

highlights the steel dossier and said this is what the warrant was based on when absolutely is not the case. that was a small component of a much larger and more substantive application. it is important we continue to highlight that. also the political underpinning for the dossier was disclosed to the court in full. to say this is playing politics is either untrue based on your political leanings or a fundamental misunderstanding of the fisa warrant application process. >> i tried to keep it fair. thank you. i try! thank you both. >> immigration a front and center after congress passed a big government spending bill. but is the deal possible for the dreamers? and the wolf huffed and puffed...

we have an attorney with us, a senior legal fellow and a former justice department counsel. gentlemen thank you. let's begin.how to be examine, forget examination report he looked at the immigration issue. congress has not addressed it. let's anticipate going forward that the budget deal done, democrats or -- want something upper daca. will they get there? >> i think they will have a tough time. the president offered amnesty of 1.8 million immigrants. he wants the border wall and an end to chain migration and the lottery program in class or said they are absolutely against that.they do not want

increase border security and they do not want increase interior enforcement. i think you will have tough time coming to an agreement. >> with the president wants and what he is demand to be done. democrats want a clean bill for daca. the 1.8 million people the president says he would like to give them a pathway to citizenship. sticky, topic. will you get the support they need from the republicans? >> love, it is not a sticky subject. why did the republicans even in the democrats? all the news majority to get out. that republican house, republican senate, republican president, supreme court. they do not need to democrats. everybody agrees that the dreamers should get some sort of legalization and why do you

even call them dreamers. what is thinking about the nightmare. they wake up and and therefore they can be deported it is a nightmare! they were brought up here but democrats quite frankly i'm missing an opportunity. they can just tell the president you know bring the bus and all you need is great in the senate. but everybody want to keep the issue alive. 18 years and here we have the best opportunity in 18 years and both sides are going to squander it because they're all chicken. no one wants -- >> do you agree? >> no. i do not agree that one believes we should provide amnesty for millions of illegal aliens. that will act as a magnet to bring even more illegal aliens here. it is with the 1986 bill date. >> the bottom line is that a lot of people extensive they should have been done a long time ago.

18 years from the presence watches and they failed to do something. but there's a lot more that we will be discussing when issue starts to become front and center which is now.thank you. >> the vice president leading us delegation at the winter olympics in south korea and sending a very clear message to north korea. ve 4.3 minutes to yourself. this calls for a taste of cheesecake. philadelphia cheesecake cups. rich, creamy cheesecake with real strawberries. find them with the refrigerated desserts. with real strawberries. it's ok that everyone ignores it's fine. drive. because i get a safe driving bonus check every six months i'm accident free. and i don't share it with mom! right, mom? righttt. safe driving bonus checks. only from allstate. switching to allstate is worth it. >> vice president south korea
