>> shepard: it's noon on the west coast where the press secretary is denying there's been any talk of pardoning key figures in the mueller investigation. that's after a report that the president's lawyer talked about possible pardons for michael flynn and paul manafort. the report and the reaction ahead. also word of a new russian connection to the trump campaign. investigators revealing a link between the former deputy campaign chair rick gates and somebody with ties to russian intelligence. plus, chinese officials say the north korean leader kim jong-un is willing to give up his nukes. at least under a couple of conditions. now president trump says he looks forward to meeting with the north korean dictator. high stakes diplomacy.

let's get to it. first on the fox news deck this afternoon, the white house is denying a report that president trump's lawyer floated an idea of pardoning two men involved in the russian investigation. the attorney john dowd suggested pardons for president trump's former campaign chairman paul manafort and michael flynn. >> has he considered and is he considering, would he consider pardoning paul manafort, michael flynn or rick gates? >> as i said an on-record statement from the president's attorney here at the white house on these matters has said there's no discussion or consideration of this. >> shepard: the question from john decker of fox news radio. flynn started cooperating and

pleaded guilty to lying. manafort faces fraud charges. peter doocy has the rest of the story live. peter? >> the white house lawyer that talked to attorneys for michael flynn and paul manafort is john dowd, the man that resigned last week. the word from ty cobb, a white house lawyer still working with the president said this. "i've only been asked about pardons by the press and routinely responded that no pardons are under discussion or consideration at the white house." sarah sanders said she's not sure if he wants to pardon or if it's been considered for flynn or manafort. >> the president has the authority to pardon individuals, burr you're asking me about a specific case in which it's not been discussed. i would not have brought that up with him. >> so flynn pled guilty to lying. his friends and family are trying to raise money for his legal bills.

>> shepard: trying to get the case against him dropped in both courts. >> yesterday he tried to argue to a judge in virginia that the special counsel's office is only supposed to be investigating impropriety with the trump campaign and things directly related to it. so since the financial charges date back a decade, he doesn't think they're something that the special counsel can come after him for. so far, no word from the judge. >> there's word that a former trump campaign official was communicating with a former russian spy before the presidential election and knew the person had ties to russian intelligence. that's according to new documents, just got them today. the official is rick gates. he's president's trump former deputy campaign chain. last month rick gates agreed to cooperate with robert mueller. gates pleaded guilty to financial fraud and lying to investigators. peter doocy again with the rest

of the story. >> shep, we don't know a ton about this russian spy. just that the special counsel's office has connected this person to the gru, the kremlin's intelligence apparatus. beyond that, this spy is referred to as person a and the government is alleging that a dutch lawyer who is about to be sentenced for lying to the special counsel heard about person a from rick gates. we know this because there's a seven-page long sentencing memorandum where this line is contained. it says "federal bureau of investigations special agents assists the special counsel's office assessed that person a has ties to a russian intelligence service and had ties in 2016. during his first interview with the special counsel's office, vanders 1 admitted that he knew of the connection stating that gates told him person a was a former russian intelligence officer with the gru.

now vander zwaan is waiting for his sentencing. >> shepard: thanks. he was convicted of lying. >> yeah. sort of interesting part of these records today, it goes to the question of collusion. president trump has said over and over again that this investigation is a witch hunt, that there was no collusion. but if the special prosecutor is drawing ties between somebody that is his deputy campaign manager at the time and had connections with someone in the russian intelligence agency, that is something that at least we know that the special prosecutor is looking at that. looking at those ties. we can't draw conclusions far beyond that but goes to the principal or goes to the theme of collusion which is what this investigation is all about. >> shepard: on the matter of the discussion of pardons, which the

white house is denying, the record stands that it's a five-reporter by line including maggie haberman and others, that there was discussion of the pardon. in the main, help our viewers understand why discussion of a pardon regarding those two particular men would be something that would be questioned. >> sure. if there was in fact a discussion of a pardon and you're right to say the white house is denying that, but if it happened, it suggests potential obstruction of justice. it would suggest a, that people in the white house are people in trump's orbit were concerned about what those two men might say to the special counsel and by floating with the attorney the possibility of a pardon, potentially trying to influence their testimony or decisions about what they would say. this was hanging as an option if in fact they were convicted.

that's the concern. now whether or not that is something that the special counsel ends up going to looking at as well, it's not a question we can answer. it's relevant and that's why that reporting is very important today. >> shepard: the president's lawyer, jay sekulow and we hear the president behind the scenes is riled up over this. their point is this. we haven't discussed pardoning anybody. yet these reports keep coming up. the only time they get questions about this is from somebody in the media. it's a talking point. it's not a real thing. >> it's worth pointing out in july of last year, president trump did tweet that he has the full power to pardon. >> shepard: which he does. >> and sarah sanders acknowledged that today as well. >> shepard: could that be seen as intimidation? >> i can't answer that. >> shepard: i can't either. >> that's something that the attorneys will have to look into and make a decision about. the fact that the president weighed in about his ability and his power to pardon, that came

in the context of the russia investigation. a person could draw conclusions why he tweeted or brought it up then. >> shepard: a lot of personnel changes the last few weeks is. there a noticeable difference in the way the place runs and if it is, could you lift the veil and tell our viewers about it? >> no, not a noticeable difference. we're waiting to see what will happen next in terms of staff. it's been kind of quiet the last few days of seeing the president. he hasn't had any public events where we can throw questions at him. yeah, it's never a dull moment in terms of staff movements. there might be more coming in the next weeks or months i don't. we know there's some consideration about the v.a. secretary. we'll see where it goes. >> shepard: some chatter about a new communications director. they'll get one at some point.

there's a name out there. what do you hear? >> hope hicks is leaving. she announced her departure several weeks ago. one of the names i heard is somebody that currently works for the president, mercy schlapp. whether she gets the job, i'm not sure. >> shepard: jeff mason from reuters. thanks to see you. >> thank you. >> shepard: there's a report that president trump is looking to go after, a quote, amazon. the company's stock plunged on that report. it cost investors at least on paper tens of billions this morning alone. the white house is responding about this "go after amazon" thing. and we're watching the markets and your money. that's coming up from the fox news deck on a wednesday afternoon where the do you is suddenly largely in the green. back in the red again. it's a finicky thing the market. i'll tell you.

>> shepard: amazon shares tumbled in today's session after a report that the president wants to go after the company through antitrust or tax laws. he doesn't like it, according to all of those that have been reporting from inside the white house. this news wiped out some $50 billion in shareholder's money on paper. it's gained some ground back. last i checked, john, it was down 4.5%. 4.9% now. minutes ago, the press secretary

sarah sanders said the president is not planning anything specific. >> the president has said many times before, he's looking to create a level playing field for all businesses. this is no different. he's going to always look at different ways. there aren't any specific policies on the table at this time. >> shepard: still that report rattling investors. gerri willis is here. this sounds like -- i remember when walmart started to spread into small towns and came to our little town in mississippi. all of our sudden, our friends stores got impacted. one had a dime store, one had a grocery store and pharmacies. >> you name it. >> shepard: now it's happening again. the president does not like it. >> nobody is surprised that the president is mad at amazon. he's been tweeting about this company for more than six months saying just exactly what you said. they're stealing business from mom and pop operators and using the tax code to do it because

they're not paying taxes. they're getting away with murder here. the law needs to be changed. he's also after "the washington post," which is something that jeff bezos owns. he calls them fake news. a lot going on. amazon has been a stalwart of the tech boom. right? an incredibly innovative company that has done so much, has done good things for small retail shoppers that wanted to find a good deal on somebody. sometimes they can get it on amazon before they get it from the mom and pop stop. >> one to keep watching. tesla's stock is getting beaten up. what happened? >> here's what's going on. we told you about the uber crash, this is a different crash, this is a tesla crash. the ntsb is investigating to see if auto pilot features were engaged at the time of the crash. so basically what happened is the tesla relied -- it's technology relies on signals

from the road and the street and the concrete and they didn't get what they thought, i believe. that caused a crash which resulted in a death. we talked about the uber crash. that is weighing on the stocks. so the days of technology companies being able to do whatever they wanted to and experiment wherever, those days are over. netflix is another company down and down dramatically. canadian regulators in quebec are talking about instituting a tax or netflix. here we go, talking about taxation on these companies that were not previously paying taxes. that's why they had incredible momentum and fabulous earnings. now we're coming to see maybe that won't be coming forward. >> shepard: tech taking another hit. the nasdaq off 54. >> a big move for the nasdaq. >> yes. >> shepard: hang tough. good to see you.

>> i will. >> shepard: kim jong-un is reportedly telling china's president that he's willing to give up his nukes under certain conditions. there's also word something is going on at one of north korea's nuclear sites. this is new information and the white house just weighed in on the president's meeting with the north korean dictator. lots of news on this front and it's next. you know what's awesome? gig-speed internet.

you know what's not awesome? when only certain people can get it. let's fix that. let's give this guy gig- really? and these kids, and these guys, him, ah. oh hello. that lady, these houses! yes, yes and yes. and don't forget about them. uh huh, sure. still yes! xfinity delivers gig speed to more homes than anyone. now you can get it, too. welcome to the party. >> shepard: president trump says there's a good chance that kim jong-un will do the right thing or what is right for his people and for humanity. that's after the north korean dictator secretly visited china, his first visit out of his country since he took power in 2011. the chinese media says he's willing to talk to the united states about his nuclear

program. president trump tweeted this morning, received message last night from xi jinping from china that his meeting with kim jong-un went well. he's looking forward to meeting with me. right now, maximum sanctions and pressure must be maintained at all costs. no sitting president has ever met with a north korean leader. we're going to rich edson now with more. >> this is kim jong-un's first meeting with a foreign leader that we know about since he took control of north korea back in 2011. china is north korea's most significant ally and also wants north korea to halt their missile and weapons testing. china wants stability in the region and so far kim jong-un has provided anything but that. administration officials say they have watched the developments from china and

they're realistic about what they might be able to accomplish. >> we're going to be kaus cautiy optimistic. the meeting yesterday is proof that the maximum pressure campaign is working. >> north korea will have high level meetings in the dmz and then kim jong-un will meet with president moon from south korea and working on a potential meeting with president trump. it's unclear when they will meet and if they will meet. now satellite imaging showing that north korea have rushing work on a nuclear research center. it appears that north korea brought a reactor online there and there's a possibility of potential that reactor could be used to make weapons grade

nuclear material. so when the united states and north korea get into negotiations about this, the united states wants north korea to get rid of the missiles, weapons and a possibility in the future for making those weapons. here's north korea putting online something that may in the future create more nuclear weapons, shep. >> shepard: we heard this mo morning of a new trade deal with south korea. what have you heard? >> the united states and south korea have reached a new trade deal. the white house said they reached a bilateral agreement. critics say there's some tweaks to this thing. what it does, it has to do with the autos sector. the united states may export 50,000 automobiles a year to comply with u.s. safety standards. the previous number was 25,000. there's curves on the amount of

steel that the u.s. can import in from south korea. other measures on currency, too. >> shepard: thanks, rich. gorden chang, a foreign affairs journalist is with us. great to see you. i've been thinking about it, the number of changes that have been in place since last we spoke on this three weeks ago is astounding. how do you see this in the main? >> yes, a really important point, shep. we not only have these fundamental changes and relationships with regard to north korea and china. we're also having tariff issues and investment curves on chinese investment into the tech sector in the u.s. these are all going to impact each other. the chinese leader has been talking about wages bloody conflict with his neighbors. so this is really starting to impact one after the other. we don't know how all of these

issues will affect each other. >> shepard: you have to figure -- you've told me for years when the chinese do something at this level, it's been game-planned for years. sometimes by hundreds of people. so it's not as if they walk into this on a whim or lark. you've said all along, anything like this would have been planned. >> yes. i think this may be the exception. president trump has disrupted i think chinese thinking about america. for many, many previous presidents, they have talked to the chinese, tried to integrate them into the international system and have not carried through on imposing costs on beijing. trump is in the process of doing that. chinese leaders are bewildered and don't know what to make of president trump. we know that kim jong-un tried to talk to south korea and the u.s. before talking to china. i think that xi jinping said that wouldn't look good,

marginalize china in the eyes of people so he summoned kim jong-un to beijing. a lot going on that the chinese didn't game out. normally they do. not this time. >> shepard: there's this plan for a president trump and kim jong-un meeting, first of its kind if it happens. what are the risks and what are the potential rewards? >> well, the risks are that, you know, we'll investigate the status of kim jong-un just by meeting him. that legitimizes him. we don't want to do that. kim has made some important promises to the international community. the biggest risk is that kim is able to drive a wedge between south korea and the united states. the overwhelming reality is, the u.s. and south korea, alliance partners are stronger than north korea and china on the other side. if we can stick together with seoul, we'll achieve acceptable

outcomes and maybe good ones. the north koreas are going to try to drive us off the peninsula. that would be extremely dangerous. >> shepard: gorden chang live with us. are you in seat? >> toronto. >> shepard: excuse me. thanks, gordon. the wikileaks founder julian assange has lost his ability to communicate. he's cut off from the internet we're told. that's the word from the government officials in ecuador. they say they want to prevent julian assange from interfering in other countries affairs so what is this about? well, it comes after julian assanged whether moscow was responsible for the poisoning of a spy. so they cut him off. he's been holed off in london more than five years. he was granted political asylum when he was extradited to sweden for sex crimes case. sweden has dropped the case.

british officials say they will still arrest assange for jumping bail if he leaves that embassy. he wouldn't be communicating out of there online. dramatic video show as landscape of destruction in syria. it's a stunning thing to see. the rebel fighters and their families trying to escape an eastern province in damascus. look at this. this video from reuters shows a cloud of dust after an explosion last week. u.n. says 70,000 civilians could be trapped. then the video that is so incredible to look at. this is drone video from a major city not far from there. this drone video shows entire neighborhoods in some cases completely empty and like shells in this community with huge piles of rubble lining the streets. the deadly fighting continued after the u.n. security counsel

she had nothing to add to what the white house says. the president's lawyer says this is a reckless use of a legal system in order to conflate daniels' attorney. if it happens, president trump would be the first to testify since bill clinton answering questions about paula jones 20 years ago. let's go to troy slayton. former prosecutor. good to see you. >> thanks for having me, shep. >> shepard: so many people, supporters of the president are saying i don't care what he did. shut up about it. leave it alone. the lawyer says what this is about is trying to influence an election with $130,000. those are the two sides. how do you see this? >> it's a simple matter of

contract law. the supreme court and very recent precedents has showed a favor to arbitration agreements. this is what they're arguing about. there's a provision in this agreement that says that if we're going to fight about it, if we're going to court, we can't. we have to arbitrate it. that's what the president's lawyers and mr. cohen's lawyers are arguing. this doesn't belong in federal court. this belongs in arbitration. stormy daniels and her attorney are arguing that the whole contract should fail because it's void by being against public policy. that it didn't have a lawful person. it was meant to influence the election and therefore, it should be an issue for a jury to go to trial on the issue of whether or not it's valid and therefore if it's going to trial, we get to have depositions. >> shepard: so because of the fact that the allegations exist from years before and the effort to silence came days before the

election, the $130,000 you're saying could be seen as a campaign contribution that was on its face illegal. >> that's what daniels attorney is saying. he is saying this was an illegal campaign contribution and the contract was for that purpose. and therefore, a court shouldn't enforce a contract whose aim was to be illegal. the president is arguing that it's a simple contract. there was an offer. there was an acceptance and consideration. the payment of the $130,000. stormy daniels and her attorney are making another argument. the contract should fail because donald trump didn't sign it himself. well, that is their weakest argument because donald trump wasn't a party to the contract. he was rather what is called a third party beneficiary to it. >> shepard: so in your estimation from the letter of the law, the president, then donald trump, didn't sign it is irrelevant and immaterial. >> that doesn't matter.

even though there was a line on the contract for him to sign, he doesn't need to in order for the contract to be valid. a contract only has to be signed by the party against whom it's being charged meaning if trump's side or cohen's side was enforcing it by stormy, it has to be signed by her. >> shepard: legal opinion. do you think they can compel the president or the president's lawyer to testify on this matter? >> that's going to be an issue up to the federal district judge who will decide whether or not the arbitration agreement in the contract is valid. i think that's a legal argument for the judge. that would be inappropriate for a jury to decide. that's what daniels' attorney wants. >> shepard: making a lot of noise. troy slaten, thank you. >> thanks for having me.

>> shepard: the man that murdered 49 people in a nightclub in orlando had originally planned to shoot up a disney world shopping center called disney springs. that's what prosecutors said this very day during closing arguments in the case against the shooter's widow. we're waiting for the verdict now. omar mateen's attack on the pulse nightclub was the deadliest shooting until the las vegas shooting. noor salam helped plan the atake. matt finn has more from south florida. matt? >> in the final hours of the trial, prosecutors argued that the shooter and his wife planned for the shooting to happened at that portion of disney world in florida and the shooter was going to hide his rifle in a baby carriage. video shows the couple at the

portion of disney world and allegedly planning the attack. the defense said they went to disney world as a family. a family spokesperson says salman wasn't a partner to her husband in the relationship or in the planning. >> the only thing i can tell you right now, we trust the jury. okay? and we have faith with them. our lawyers, it's up to them. that's all i can say. >> before the trial, the shooter's widow did confess to witnessing her husband purchase again watching isis recruitment videos and preparing for a jihad. >> shepard: you mentioned the confession. the defense is disputing what the prosecutors call her confession. >> that's right. they say she was coerced during the interrogation.

the defense was an expert that says that salman didn't have the mental capacity to understand her confession. she said she drove around to other possible targets in florida. forensic experts testified that salman's phone of her husband's phone ever pinged at the nightclub. they talked about how bad it would be if a club got attacked. she said she wished she told someone but was too afraid. we just heard the jury reconvened to ask the judge a question. we'll keep you updated. >> shepard: matt, thanks. we don't know what the question was or whether the court was able to answer that question. when all that information comes together, we'll get it to you. facebook is trying to make it easier for people to control their privacy settings. nice timing. the word has come that a data firm tried to -- tied to trump
