[laughter] >> i will not. >> all right. doctor, thank you, terry. [cheers] >> studio audience. i love you, america. molly: one of president trump's fiercest allies in congress threatening to hold attorney general jeff sessions in contempt as republicans accuse the justice department of stonewalling. good evening i'm molly line. this is the fox report. >> house intelligence committee chairman nunes butting heads with the jeff sessions justice department claiming it ignored a subpoena against the trump campaign. >> i think we need to talk to the attorney general and make sure he understands the significance of this request. i have already talked to the director of the fbi that we need this request. and so this just can't continue where we don't get information in a timely manner. like i said, everything we've tried to get, they try to stop us from getting.

>> the doj pointing out that it replied to the congressman's letter days ago, and the white house signed off on it. the letter saying in part it was in position to provide the information in keeping with the law and longstanding policy. meanwhile special counsel mueller facing new criticism that his team is overreaching in its investigation into potential collusion between the trump campaign and russia. a federal judge appeared to rebuke mueller on friday, questioning whether he'd exceeded his authority by pursuing bank fraud charges against the president's former campaign chairman paul manafort. a number of high-profile lawyers echoing those concerns. >> i think paul manafort's attorneys have a point that there is a limit to what an independent counsel -- i don't know whether that line has been crossed. i certainly think there's a question to be raised about what bank fraud has to do with russian collusion and that's something that needs to be addressed by the court. >> this investigation has now reached a level of bad faith.

this is no longer a good faith investigation. molly: we have garrett tenney joining us reporting on all of this from washington. garrett, just what documents are nunes and the doj fighting over? >> well, molly, congressional investigators are looking into allegations that the obama administration abused surveillance warrants in order to spy on associates of the trump campaign during the election. now, the documents that they've requested contain classified information and they appear to be documents related to one specific unnamed individual. in a letter to nunes on thursday, assistant attorney general said after consulting with both the intelligence community and the white house, the justice department determined it was not able to provide the documents because quote disclosure of response of information to such request can risk severe consequences including potential loss of human lives, damage to relationships with valued international partners, compromise of ongoing criminal investigations and interference with intelligence activities. this is just the latest incident in what republican lawmakers

have described as stonewalling by the justice department and the fbi when it comes to congressional investigations. this morning house judiciary committee john ratcliff said the doj's arguments on withholding classified information are starting to lose credibility. >> its hand has been weakened by the fact that as those documents -- as congress has pressed and those documents have come out, we found that a lot of the information that's been redacted or kept from public view have really reflected more on the department or the fbi and its senior officials and to save them from embarrassment or from potential infractions or misconduct. >> doj officials point out to us, though, that the white house was on board with this decision and that it is the president who has the final say over documents that are controlled by the executive branch. molly? molly: on friday, a federal judge criticized special counsel robert mueller's team and now the president's new lead attorney rudy giuliani is pretty much piling on. what is he saying? >> well, the president and his

legal team have been arguing all along the special counsel's investigation into collusion is nothing more than a witch hunt, and that argument got some fresh fuel on friday, when a federal judge suggested that mueller's team is trying to use paul manafort in order to get the president impeached. last night on fox news, rudy giuliani said it is no coincidence that mueller's team decided to hand off their case against president trump's lawyer michael cohen but are keeping the case against paul manafort. >> i think the judge was rightfully confused about why did they give away cohen but not manafort. maybe they think manafort is somebody they can flip faster. this all plays into what the president of the united states has been saying for quite some time, the judge in some substance said this is a witch hunt with a tremendous amount of government misconduct attached to it. >> mueller's team argues that they were given secret powers in a classified scope memo from

depp attorney general rod rosenstein -- deputy attorney general rod rosenstein which describes the parameters of their investigation. the judge gave them two weeks to provide that memo or other evidence to explain why they have the authority to prosecute manafort. molly? molly: thank you very much. for more on all of this, let's bring in eliza collins, usa today congressional reporter. thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me. molly: let's take a look at the fascinating week, when it came to a new attorney for the president, rudy giuliani a familiar face to americans of course, getting out there and weighing in on the stormy daniels case and talking about how the president seemingly reimbursed michael cohen seeming to push back in an effort to say there were no campaign finance violations. when we look at what happened with this, was it wise is the big question? >> well, i'm not a lawyer. i'm not going to say whether it was wise or not, but what it did do is it basically made there be questions about the president. the president has denied knowing

anything about this payment previously. he said, you know, this is something michael cohen dealt -- dealt with and now giuliani is saying no he actually paid him back. it seems like he opened up a whole new set of questions. it brings questions to the white house as a whole. we saw some frustration from sarah huckabee sanders on friday basically saying that when she's going out to the press saying that the president didn't do this, she's saying well, that's the information i had at the time. so there's a lot more questions even though rudy giuliani was trying to basically fix one thing, it opened up a whole other set. molly: former white house counsel lonny davis weighed in on this. he had a lot of experience, represented bill clinton, he's familiar with a president under the gun when it comes to legal issues. he kind of weighed in on the sentiment you were just making. take a listen. >>i think there's at least an argument that by speaking publicly about a conversation with the president, he becomes a fact witness on a crucial question, was the personal loan

that now president trump admits that he gave to michael cohen, and was reimbursed, michael cohen is the word that giuliani used that's a fact that needs to be questioned in front of a grand jury on the issue of whether it was a political contribution. molly: so the can of worms argument, is this essentially what's happened here? and the president even pushed back on giuliani. oh he just joined the team. we're still working things out. where do we stand? >> i think it is the can of worms. we know mueller wants to interview the president. i imagine giuliani's comments this week just made that more serious. i imagine mueller's pushing harder for that. we are also seeing giuliani saying well we may not do it even if we get a subpoena or we might do it for an hour or two. there's this whole back and forthcoming out really in public. -- forth coming out really in public. molly: it is not about a time line, what's really unclear is that time line, but the story

goes that a porn star is paid in a private agreement to stay silent for a one night stand with mr. trump that never occurred. the president tweets false and extortionist accusationings, the payment was made without the president's knowledge by his personal attorney. on air force one said no no, he doesn't know about this payment. and then giuliani reveals cohen's retainer, this $35,000 funneled through a law firm. essentially making the argument that perhaps the president still didn't know exactly what the money was being used for. is there a question of what the president knew when? is that what we're looking for now? do we need the time line? >> well, i think that's exactly right. we're confused about the time line and we have heard different stories about the time line. we need to get to the root of what the president knew, when, saying he didn't know about the payment, but oh wait he paid him back. those are two very different statements. molly: there's been a lot of statements made on tv. we have heard a lot of analysts talking about this. you mentioned the potential

mueller interviewing the president. a lot of analysts saying no, no, we don't want the president to do that, as we have been watching on tv. take a listen, though, because there is someone that would like everyone to keep talking, and that is stormy daniels lawyer michael av avenatti. >> the more they talk the better our case gets. they can't keep their stories straight. with mr. giuliani, michael cohen's attorneys and others the likelihood of us being able to place this president under oath i think has gone up exponentially molly: he seems to be the happy man among all of this. when you think about the potential legal ramifications for the presidency, why are people talking so openly? why is rudy giuliani going on prime time television and saying all the things he's saying? should everyone fall silent? >> we are seeing some people coming out and saying this is not helping.

some of trump's allies are saying we really wish rudy giuliani would fall silent. the president likes to talk. he can get in front of a reporter he likes or a camera and just starts talking. rudy giuliani is is sort of a similar mold. i think why we're seeing the president not being very mad at him, saying it is his first day and he needs to get things straightened out. molly: it is fascinating. you never know what's coming up next. we will have more from eliza at the bottom of the hour. mark levin is set to give us his take on the mueller investigation on tonight's installment of life liberty and levin. take a listen. >> we will investigate the investigators, mueller, comey and rosenstein and their unconstitutional effort to unseat a sitting president of the united states. join us. molly: life liberty tonight at 10:00 p.m. eastern right here on

the fox news channel. hundreds of small earthquakes rumbling through parts of hawaii's big island after the largest earthquake in more than 40 years on top of this, an active volcano continues to erupt. the lava destroying at least nine homes as folks cope the best way they can. william la jeunesse is live on the big island. william? >> well, molly, for the last several hours, police have been allowing people back in to the leilani neighborhood. now they are coming out and we have seen trucks and trailers filled with everything, washers, driers, bikes, surfboards, you name it, pet beds, their pets, everything they can get their hands on because a lot of these homes are not going to probably be here. nine of them we know are gone, more in the future in all likelihood, what geologists say. we have some new video that was shot earlier today of what we believe the largest and longest of these fissures or volcanic vents runs kind of in a lynn -- linear direction. it is following an underground channel.

in places where the lava breaks through the crust. the hawaiian national guard also shot some video today and it shows some of how the lava flow is really overtaking almost anything in its path. officials believe there is this molten lake up in the kilauea volcano that fell 500 feet earlier in the week, and now that lava or rock is flowing down slope into the leilani neighborhood. >> the eruption rate currently in leilani estates could pick up. so far it's been pretty small, but the additional material coming down the pipeline literally could involve itself at some point and actually lead to more high volume lava flows. >> so the national guard is also handling security and also monitoring air quality because concerns from those sulfur dioxide emission levels that accompany most of these fountains of lava that are coming out, they say those store-bought masks are no good at all. also we have a full screen that shows how each vent or fissure

in the area and where it's located. this molten rock in one case shot up 240 feet in the air. we spoke to one woman who actually arrived here this week to buy a house in that neighborhood. >> did you know that you may have been buying a piece of property literally on top of a river of molten lava? >> you know, we heard, hey, it is a high lava zone your insurance is a little bit higher but life is a risk, so we thought forget it. we heard before we left that it was erupting but we didn't realize how much or what was happening until we got here. >> is this kind of a surprise to the people living there? >> it shouldn't be, but everyone kind of just takes it for granted, and when it happens, what do you do? you have to -- we're living on a volcano. everybody knows that. it's happened before. it is going to happen again. >> so when this ends, only mother nature can tell us that,

but right now, we're still in the middle of it. back to you. >> william la jeunesse on the big island right now. north korea's kim jong-un out with a warning for president trump ahead of their planned summit. plus, the countdown is on for president trump's decision on the iran nuclear deal as the deadline approaches. will the president walk away from it? >> they can go back and have a legitimate nuclear weapons development program in about ten years, and that's not the security that the world needs. you might take something for your heart... or joints. but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally found in jellyfish, prevagen is the number one selling brain-health supplement in drug stores nationwide. prevagen. the name to remember.

their maximum pressure campaign is working. they have issued a warning to the president's negotiating team not to misinterpret their goodwill gestures in advance of the highly anticipated trump kim summit. a foreign ministry spokesperson saying today, quote, it would not be conducive to addressing the issue if the u.s. miscalculates the peace-loving intention of the dprk as a sign of weakness and continues to pursue its pressure and military threats. this rhetoric comes a couple weeks after north and south korean leaders met for the first time in decades and about two weeks before president trump will welcome south korea's president moon to the white house on may 22nd. to date, president trump's insisted the north will have to promise complete denuclearization as a precondition to any formal negotiations. there's a lot of hope, according to the chairman of the house armed services committee but not a lot of chance. >> you can hope for the best, but we have to prepare for the worst. and that means beefing up our ability to defend against

molly: the trump administration facing yet another tough battle this week, a senior white house official telling fox news that gina will not withdraw her nomination as director of central intelligence agency. that comes after multiple reports which fox news has not independently confirmed that she offered to drop out over concerns about a debate about harsh interrogation program techniques and how that could possibly tarnish her reputation and that of the cia. the white house putting out a statement expressing its support

for her saying: she is a highly qualified nominee who has dedicated over three decades of service to her country. her nomination will not be derailed by partisan critics who side with the aclu over the cia how to keep americans safe. the confirmation hearing is set for wednesday. the clock is ticking in less than a week president trump will reveal whether he wants to stay in or leave the iran nuclear agreement. he has been a strong critic of it for years, calling it one of the worst deals he's ever seen. ellison barber is in washington with more. >> molly, the president said he would pull out of the iran nuclear deal by may 12th, unless there were substantial changes, less than a week away from that deadline and publicly the president is still criticizing the deal and seemingly suggesting like it really hasn't changed a whole lot. when he spoke to the nra in

dallas friday, he once again criticized the deal and the u.s. officials who initially drafted it. >> we have the former administration as represented by john kerry. not the best negotiator we've ever seen. he never walked away from the table, except to be in that bicycle race where he fell. >> french president macron and german chancellor merkel visited president trump a couple of weeks ago in part hoping to convince him not to back out of the deal. britain's foreign secretary is heading to d.c. today, according to the foreign secretary's office, he will meet with vice president mike pence, national security advisor john bolton and senior administration officials. he like macron and merkel is expected to push for the u.s. to stick with the iran deal. the u.s. secretary of state has

suggested that is unlikely. some on capitol hill say perhaps the president should think about extending the deadline. >> the iran deal in its current form does not provide that assurance. we will continue to work with our european allies to fix that deal. but if a deal cannot be reached, the president has said that he will leave that deal. [inaudible]. >> i was opposed to the iran deal. i thought it was a bad deal. iran got most of the benefit up front with relief of sanctions and a planeload of cash that president obama sent over there so we lost a lot of our leverage. maybe the best thing is for the president to delay a bit more his deadline of this month and put the french and the british up to the test about whether it is possible to get this other sort of agreement. >> officials are suggesting secretary johnson's meetings over the next two days will likely focus on three key

topics: north korea, syria, and the iran deal deal. we're hearing from the white house that the vice president will meet with the secretary monday afternoon. molly: world leaders reacting to what could happen if president trump pulls out of the iran deal. david lee miller has that story from jerusalem. >> molly, both iranian and israeli leaders weighed in today on president trump's up coming decision on whether or not to pull out of the iran nuclear deal. israeli prime minister netanyahu in an off camera briefing told journalists that an agreement that enables iran to keep and hide all its nuclear weapons is a horrible deal. he said it must be fixed or nixed. warning that if nothing is done, iran will have a nuclear arsenal. he also told his regular sunday cabinet meeting that iran has delivered advanced weapons systems to syria that could be used to attack israel. >> translator: we are determined to block iran's aggression

against us, even if this means a struggle, better now than later. nations that are unprepared to take timely action to conquer aggression against them paid much heavier prices afterwards. we do not want escalation. but we are prepared for any scenario. >> iran's president today said that if president trump pulls out of the iran nuclear deal, it would be, quote, a historic regret for the u.s. in a televised address, he defiantly rejected further negotiations that could restrict iran's ballistic missile program and influence in the region. >> we tell the whole world, america, europe, the east and the west, we will not negotiate with anyone over our country's weapons and defense. we will build and stock tile weapons equipment and missiles as much as our country requires. >> complicating the fate of the iranian nuclear deal, the u.k.,

france and germany remain committed to the agreement. what if any impact that will have on president trump's decision remains unclear. molly? molly: david, thank you. some plans are already in place for the funeral of senator john mccain, who has been battling brain cancer at his home in arizona. what he's reportedly saying about the service and who he does not want there. plus lawmakers on capitol hill fighting hard to keep their seats, but first some hotly contested primary votes this week. we are breaking down the top races heading into the midterm. >> i believe at the end of this day, nancy pelosi will not be speaker. republicans will keep the majority. not because we want it to happen, because what we have achieved. with this clever little app called audible. you can listen to the stories you love while doing the things you love, outside. binge better. audible.

primary season kicking into high gear and republicans are ramping up efforts to win those crucial political offices. in four states that president trump carried in the 2016 election. many of the races pulling the g.o.p. far to the right as candidates fight to be seen as the most conservative and most loyal to president trump. so will that strategy work? the big question. bryan llenas is joining us now covering a ton of ground. thanks for being here. how much is president trump's influence playing out in these key races? >> look, it is the big question heading into tuesday, and right now we're talking about four states, west virginia, ohio, indiana and north carolina that are holding their primary on

tuesday. the president won all four states and republicans are vying to show they are the most trump candidate out there. in indiana three republicans are racing for the party's senate nomination. the winner will face a democrat. republicans see that democrat as the most vulnerable democrat in the senate. but all three candidates are trying to appeal to trump voters. >> the president knows i have his back when he needed it most against crooked hilary clinton. >> the media wants to divide us from the president of the united states. i want to focus far more on the places where i agree with the president. >> president trump was an outsider, a businessman. he doesn't want more people from the swamp, career politicians. >> in ohio, there is a five man race in the republican senate primary. tuesday's winner will face democrat senator brown in november. but one of the representatives is a front-runner. >> everybody knows in ohio that the president endorsed me last week. he's supportive of me. >> his challenger's investment

banker mike gibbons who this week sued for defamation for falsely accusing him of being antitrump in ads. democrats say they actually hope that the most far right candidates emerge as winners in republican primaries because they say they believe it will sway moderate voters in november and that will lead to democrat wins. molly: you have already covered a ton of ground but not to be forgotten north carolina and west virginia. >> that's right. in west virginia there's three republicans that are in a tight race for the party senate nomination on tuesday. u.s. representative evan jenkins who was previously a democrat and in the lead according to recent fox polling. west virginia attorney general, a former new jersey guy who was accused of being a -- [inaudible]. and don blankenship who was recently imprisoned for a year. the winner will face incumbent democrat u.s. senator joe manchin who is seeking reelection. republicans think his seat is ripe for the taking. as for north carolina, each of the state's 13 seats in the u.s.

house of representatives are up for grabs. republicans have 10 of those 13 at least for now. we will see. molly: you covered a tremendous amount of ground including my home state of west virginia. that one is interesting. >> to say the least. molly: thank you. for more on this let's bring back eliza collins congressional reporter from usa today. thanks for joining us, coming back with us. >> of course. molly: looking ahead to tuesday, indiana, ohio, west virginia, north carolina a couple fascinating races there. which one do you think is the one to watch? are any of them a bellwether? such unique places >> they are interesting primaries do tend to bring on both the right, the left. the candidates further right, further left. there are a few really interesting ones. you mentioned west virginia. that one is just a fun one. it is fascinating to watch because blankenship was just in prison for an explosion at a mine. and basically he thinks that's an asset, and he's within

striking distance. i mean some polling is showing him right up there. west virginia sort of the anti-establishment idea. he's gone after mitch mcconnell here in washington and basically the republican establishment, and they really don't want him to be the nominee. they'd be okay with either of the other two. but republicans are saying that if blankenship wins, they think they basically are giving up this seat to joe manchin. trump won west virginia by 42 points. it is a seat that really they do have a chance in. although manchin has done a good job of sort of appealing to some of these maybe trump voters, and so he's not quite same as joe donnelly in indiana like a number one recruit, but they feel like don blankenship could be a real problem for them. molly: the dial has been shifting there in my home state for quite a while now. it would be interesting to see what happens there in november. voters in 11 states total this month heading to vote for their nominees to face off in

november. what's the key for victory for republicans? >> it is basically who can be the closest to the president. who has voted with him the most. who has said the nicest things. trump is still very popular with republican primary voters. so i think we will see a lot of candidates go right and align themselves closely with the president. but the question is, in november, will that stance be popular in a general election? obviously we're seeing record levels of democratic enthusiasm, but we're looking at some of these, you know, independent or lean republican voters. do they still want a candidate who as close to trump? molly: something very interesting, i want to show you some poll numbers. these are taken from may 4, 2018. 51% approval rating for the president. 49% disapprove. take a look at this, obama may 7, 2010, roughly about the same time, as far as going forward in their administrations and their years as the president, lower, obama on may 7th, 45% approval.

54% disapprove. it is tough to be the president now. tough to be the president then. i mean, but what do you make of that? >> well, we did see the president's numbers go up after this tax cut. the economy is strong. i think the north korea -- we don't quite know what's going to happen yet, but we are seeing some republicans actually led by -- a republican in indiana nominating him for the nobel peace prize. republican voters are happy with him. so we will have to see how that plays out. but he is definitely very controversial with democrats and independent voters. but it's tough to be the president like you said. it is hard to get those numbers any higher than 50%. molly: then candidate trump powered through these rust belt states. he had huge campaign rallies. then president trump goes back out powering through the rust belt again. still packing the airport

hangars, places like michigan, pennsylvania, just held a huge rally in pennsylvania. doesn't seem like his supports have desserted him. the question is will they show up in the fall? they seem to be out there still. >> they are certainly still out there. we saw that even with the pennsylvania house race. you know, the democrat did up winning but president trump came right at the end and i think you could argue that he did close that gap. his supporters are certainly there. the question is are they happy with what congress is doing? is tax reform their major legislative victory, is that going to be enough? are they unhappy they failed to repeal obama care? are these democrats who maybe didn't vote for hillary, but are they going to come out now? i think those are all big question marks. we really don't know. molly: that goes into if tying yourself to the president right now is good? will it work? we will see it in the fall. this is reince priebus making an argument about what's happening right now. >> i can tell you that this is not something people are sitting around a dinner table talking about. when you look at what president trump has done, when you look at

the accomplishments of what he's put in place, when he's running in 2020, those are the things that he's going to talk about. he's going to talk about isis. going to talk about the economy, jobs, wage growth, the court, the supreme court, the federal bench. molly: he's talking about what matters to voters, you know, despite the stormy daniels stuff, despite russian collusion allegations, that these other issues are what the voters care about. is he right? >> i think he's right. president trump has tapped into voters' anxiety about the economy during the campaign we saw that. now we do see a strong economy, a strong stock market. that is i think why his faithful still appreciate what he's doing. democrats have struggled to get on that message. we see them try to talk about the economy and then pull back to russia or stormy daniels, and there's certainly a lot to talk about. but democrats have struggled to get on the message whereas the president has tapped into that, like you mentioned the rust belt states. he feels that they helped him win the victory, and he owes them, and he likes to go back

and remind them that he is grateful for them and for a lot of people who have felt left out of politics they like what president trump is doing and that he's talking to them. molly: we shall see. seems like a long thank you tour on the president's part. see if it lasts into the next election. eliza collins, thank you very much. we love talking with you. thanks for joining us tonight. >> thank you. molly: senator mccain looking ahead as he battles for his life and he reportedly does not want president trump at his funeral and he instead would like vice president mike pence to come. 81-year-old mccain who is still at home in arizona battling an aggressive type of brain cancer has had a very turbulent relationship with the president that started back during the 2016 campaign. former presidents george w. bush and barack obama have reportedly been asked to deliver eulogies at mr. mccain's service which will be held at the national cathedral in washington. the motto in god we trust sparking debate in one state.

eisenhower signed this into law. in fact the motto at that point replaced or gave an option for the unofficial motto which was from one many which was first adopted in 1782. but more states now are getting on the whole controversy surrounding the motto. in fact recently in louisiana, down there, senators voted in favor requiring public school distributes to display the national motto at every building at the district's jurisdiction. the most recent debate in minnesota, a bill introduced there would require school boards to post a durable poster or framed copy of the motto in god we trust in every single school building. republican state senator dan hall is the chief sponsor and says it is as much about american history as it is about religion. >> congress as recently as 2011 did a resolution reaffirming in god we trust as the official motto of the united states in

supporting and encouraging the public display of the national motto in all public buildings, public schools, and other government institutions. >> not everyone is happy about the possible requirement. some people say the motto is a religious reference that would violate the establishment clause of the 1st amendment. >> i think it would send a fairly strong and unmistakable signal to young people of a variety of different religious perspectives and beliefs that their perspective, their belief, their presence in that particular building when they are greeted by a sign like this is not tolerated. >> so i want to go back and clarify one thing. it is from one many. i said it back wards a moment ago. the first time we actually heard in god we trust. it became popular in the 1860s during the civil war. the fourth stanza of the star

spangled banner which is obviously the fourth -- we only use the first stanza for our national anthem. written in 1814. it actually references it very similar back then. this goes back a long ways. it is becoming a large debate again, molly. as you can tell louisiana has it gone through. now it is in minnesota. we will keep you updated on what happens in minnesota and whether or not this sticks. quite an interesting controversy. it is great to go back and look at the historical facts. there's some things i learned today thinking wow i didn't realize it was in the fourth stanza. >> i only had the one year of latin so i would not have been able to correct you anyway. >> well, i said it back wards. i don't know why. >> no, i didn't even catch it. [laughter] >> adam, thank you very much. it kind of reminds me of the whole legal actions over the pledge of allegiance trying to challenge the under god part of the pledge. adam housely reporting from l.a., thank you. the royal family full on wedding mode with the big day now less than two weeks away. we are getting closer and
