12:00 pm
spike is getting very big. he's one of the sleepiest puppies i have ever known that makes him that much cuter. a crazy week: dana perino. rick leventhal is in for shep. >> president trump arriving this hour in scottland capping a day of pomp and protest overseas. first, the president slammed the prime minister and said she's doing a terrific job. all this as tens of thousands flood the streets of london rallying against his visit. ahead, the president's reaction to the rallies and even the blimp showing him as a baby. leadership today indictments in the hacking of hillary clinton's campaign and the dnc. the justice department linking the russian government to election meddling despite their many denials. that's all ahead this hour on "shepard smith reporting."
12:01 pm
i'm rick leventhal in for shepard smith. president trump set to stop in ireland next before his meeting with vladimir putin. just hours ago, deputy attorney general rod rosenstein announced charges against a dozen russian intelligence officers for hacking hillary clinton's campaign and the democratic national committee. rosenstein urging folks not to think as democrats or republicans but as americans united as an attack on our democracy. >> there will always be adversaries that seek to exacerbate or divisions. so long as we're united and our commitment to the values in the constitution, they will not succeed. >> rick: the white house says the indictments don't provide any evidence that the trump officials were aware of the hacking and that any americans
12:02 pm
committed the crime or the hacks affected the vote couldn't. julian assange swore up and down that russia was not the source of the information. chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge on fox's top story live in washington. catherine, what did we learn from the deputy attorney general today? >> good afternoon, rick. that news conference was called on very short notice and featuring the deputy attorney general. so that was the signal to us that it was going to be big news. really the key headline is this connection to russian intelligence called the gru. think of it as the cia, the central intelligence agency or the defense intelligence agency, our equivalent. here's the deputy attorney general from earlier today. >> today, a grand jury in the district of columbia returned an indictment presented by the special counsel's office. the indictment charges 12 russian military officers by name for conspireing to interfere with the 2016
12:03 pm
presidential election. >> what we learned from the indictment is that the operation had two tracks, if you will. one track looked at stealing the information so getting the e-mails, getting text messages and the other was focused on disseminating that information. the deputy attorney general said this was very sophisticated. >> first, they used a scheme known as spearfishing which involves sending misleading e-mail messages and tricking the users to disclosing pass words and security information. second, the defendants hacked into computer networks and installed malicious software that allowed them to spy on users and capture key strokes, take screen shots and remove data from those computers. >> cyber security experts say none of this would happen without the okay from someone senior like the russian
12:04 pm
president, rick. >> rick: and the defendants accused to going great lengths to hide their ties to russia. >> that's the other interesting thing that we learned in the indictment. russian intelligence -- again, like the cia and the defense intelligence agency -- the workers working with the most sophisticated tools tomas -- to masquerade. >> the conspirators created d.c. looks and gucifer 2.0. the defendants falsely claimed that d.c. leaks was a group of american hackers and that gucifer 2.0 was a lone romanian hacker. in fact, both were created and controlled by the russian gru. >> other russian nationals have been indueted by the special counsel, robert mueller and the
12:05 pm
feeling about the indictments is it sends a strong message. the effort for these nationals to come to the u.s. slim to none. but the ranking democrat says it sends an important message. >> i'd love to find a way to have these russian spies get justice, whether putin will be willing to turn over those spies, i frankly doubt that. >> the other thing to note, of course, the timing, coming a couple days before the summit with president trump and the russian president vladimir putin, rick. >> rick: you said they were masquerading as americans. there were no indications they were in america. they were doing it from overseas. >> not based on the indictments. what i'd say to folks at home, this was a part of a larger
12:06 pm
intelligence and information gathering operations that was launched by the russians and their proxies in the cyber world and began back in october of 2014 with something called operation pond storm. this was a concerted effort to really target the power brokers and the elite in the government in the united states, specifically with the idea if you could get their personal information, their spouse's information, even their children, you could build this web of information to build on. the feeling of cyber security experts says that's the beginning of the effort to undermine the elections in 2016. it began two years earlier, rick. >> rick: thanks, catherine. >> you're welcome. >> rick: let's bring in eliza collins. much has been made of the deputy ag's announcement ahead of this summit with the russian president. >> exactly. we're just a couple days out from when the president is meeting with vladimir putin.
12:07 pm
the president did ask if -- a reporter asked the president if he would bring up russian meddling, and the president said yes, he would. but that's about all we know. the president has denied up until now that russia meddled to help him. this is -- makes it more clear that they were hurting hillary clinton if not outright helping the president. so it's an awkward time to bring this up and it comes a day after that massive hearing yesterday in congress with republicans and democrats fighting over peter strzok, the fbi agent that had been on some of these investigation. >> rick: awkward or by design to put extra pressure for president trump to confront president putin. >> i'm not sure. you can't deny the timing. we're a couple days out. this is a big deal that the president is meeting with vladimir putin and now he has this information. so in theory he could bring it up. >> rick: we heard the white house press office tell us that there's no allegation that any american citizen committed a
12:08 pm
crime, that it changed the vote couldn't or affected any election result and consistent with what the white house it's been saying all along. there's still an indication that the president might have benefitted from this. >> right. those things are true. no americans were indicted. doesn't change the vote count. but the president has denied that he was helped by the russians. he was questioned if they were the russians. you remember that famous line from the campaigns. he said it could be a 400-pound man in his room. so the president has definitely questioned all of these things. this makes it a lot more clear that they were targeting hillary clinton and in theory hillary clinton was going up against donald trump. that would help donald trump. >> rick: the deputy a.g. said information was stolen on 500,000 voters. this was a pretty deep conspiracy apparently. americans should be concerned. >> americans should definitely
12:09 pm
be concerned. this is definitely going to give ammo to democrats who have been venting frustration over not looking at securing our election systems. we have the mid-term election in november. congress has spent a lot of time relitigating the 2016 election in a very partisan way. not very much time on how to bolster our election systems going forward. you can bet the democrats will be calling for that. it will put pressure on republicans. because nobody wants the election system to be hacked. the republicans will have to figure out how to walk the tight rope without angering the president and also saying we have to make sure that our election systems are not hacked by foreign governments. >> rick: we're hearing from some that say that is evidence that the russian probe should continue? >> yes. democrats are jumping on that. we've seen some republicans, rudy guliani, the president's personal lawyer that says this is evidence that the probe should end. i imagine most people are not
12:10 pm
going that far. democrats are saying it should continue and republicans, i think, will kind of remain quiet and say it should wrap up soon, which has been their line. >> rick: in terms of these 12, prosecution is likely since the prospects are in russia and it won't be extradited. >> exactly. senator warner, you had him on earlier saying this is a messaging tool. saying we know about this. this is very serious and the president is going to meet with vladimir putin. so he might pressure him to send these guys back but i doubt putin will do that. >> rick: how do we protect ourselves from this happening again? >> i'm not the right person. that's cyber security experts. we can have the government look at how to bolster security going forward. like when you get an e-mail,
12:11 pm
check it to make sure it's from a credible source. >> rick: you think this might make things more awkward at the summit coming monday? >> it depends on how far the president chooses to push this. we won't be in the room. in theory, it should. the president should bring this up and saying it's a problem and pushing for these people to be sent back to the u.s. to face prosecution. >> rick: eliza collins, thanks for your time. >> thank you. >> rick: news breaking as president trump continues his trip through europe. ahead, his comments about theresa may that he later tried to walk back. plus, what this could mean for our relationship with one of our closest allies in the world. we are now waiting for president trump to touchdown in scotland aboard air force one. we'll keep an eye on that and let you know when that happens coming up. but do you take something for your brain.

12:15 pm
he also apologized to theresa may for a comment he made to the sun. the president criticized for the way she handled exit and said he would kill future trade deals because of her plan. >> i would have done it differently. i told theresa may how to do it. she didn't listen to me. i think what is going on is very unfortunate. i did give her my views on what she should do and how she should negotiate. i'd say she went to opposite way. >> hours after the story broke, the president insisted he never criticized prime minister may. >> i didn't criticize the prime minister. she's a total professional. i said i want to apologize. i said such good things about you. she said don't worry, it's only the press. >> rick: monday, the president is set to meet one-on-one with vladimir putin. john roberts live in london where the spark continue to fly,
12:16 pm
john. >> good evening to you from london, rick. the meeting and the press conference with theresa may this afternoon was a little reset for the president and the white house from where they were last night. but the president and the white house surprised at the degree to which the interview the president gave with the u.k. sun blew up just as he was going to a gala dinner along with theresa may. a lot of people feel the president pulled the political rug out from under theresa may at a sensitive time. here former secretary resigned earlier this week and looked like her government might collapse. the president said there wouldn't be a trade deal if she maintained ties to the e.u. the was said today he hopes that they can work out some trade deals in the future. listen here. >> i also want to thank prime minister may continuing fair and
12:17 pm
reciprocal trade after they have left brexit. i don't know what you do, it's okay with me. that's your decision. whatever you do is okay with us. just make sure we can trade together. that's all that matters. >> may was insisting this afternoon that the u.k. would leave the u.e. in a way next march that will allow it to sign bilateral trade agreements with the united states. rick? >> it was a fascinating news conference today, john, that we watched here on fox. what more did the president have to say about his meeting with putin coming up? >> it's taken on a new tone now with the 12 indictments. the president saying that he's going to go to meet with vladimir putin with no expectations. he's not sure how much will get
12:18 pm
done. he said there's several issues that he wants to talk to putin about, nuclear proliferation and what he can do to get iran out of syria or how to solve the syria crisis and also talk about the russian annexation of crimea. yes, he said he will bring up election meddling from 2016. listen here. >> we'll be talking about meddling. i will absolutely bring that up. i don't think you'll have any gee, i didn't do it, you got me. there won't be a perry mason here. you never know. i will absolutely firmly ask the question and hopefully we'll have a very good relationship with russia. >> democrats are urging the president to cancel the summit with vladimir putin. chuck schumer said in a statement "president trump should cancel his meeting with vladimir putin until russia takes steps to prove that they
12:19 pm
won't interfere in future elections. glad-handing with putin would be an insult to our democracy." we have to say that president goes into the meeting with the full support of the nato allies including justin trudeau and theresa may who said she's looking forward to it. the president said as he walked away with the prime minister, will you tell putin to stop meddling in our elections? the president said yes. >> rick: thanks, john. ahead, a live report from the protests in london. we'll break down what we heard from the president and prime minister at their news conference today. stick around.

12:23 pm
glasgow, scotland a large crowd gathered at the airport waiting for the president and the first lady to touchdown where the president will spend the weekend before heading to a summit with the russian president. he will stay at one of his golf resort there's and then travel to finland for his suck mitt with putin. we're looking at glasgow live. that just landed, i'm told. some point soon we'll be watching them step off of that plane. the president mentioned that his mother was born in scotland. he own as couple of golf clubs there. he will spend the weekend in scotland before heading to that summit with the russian president. we're going to bring in jeff, a former state department official, now the deputy
12:24 pm
director of the europe program. jeff, we've watched a lot of development in the u.k., some dramatic, including protests. doesn't look like the president has been warmly received on the streets of london at least. >> you're right, rick. president trump is not especially popular in the u.k. recent surveys showed about 11% of the population considered him a good president. 67% felt the opposite. there's not a lot of public support for president trump. that's what we see on the streets of london today. i think the bigger issue though for the british government is how they deal with the humiliation that the president dished out to prime minister may in that interview you talked about earlier with the sun. he really eviscerated her approach to brexit, which is the most sensitive issue in british politics right now.
12:25 pm
it's one where the prime minister's rivals are circling her like sharks and the president singled out one of them, boris johnson and gave him a lot of praise, including standing next to theresa may today. it's a big story how the president's intervention in british politics plays out and whether prime minister's may's rivals try to use that kick me sign that the president put on her back and exploit it. >> rick: humiliation is a strong word. the president said they're friends. the news conference seemed to be cordial. >> well, the news conference was cordial. if you look at what he said and if you watched the effects that it's going to have, you know, i think the interview -- it was clear the president was familiar with the details of her brexit proposal. he had read up on the issue. so the implied threat that the
12:26 pm
united states may not be able to do a deal with the kind of brexit theresa may is pursuing is one that is incendiary in british politics and will have a longer-lasting effect than just the cordial press conference as you point out. it was much warmer than things looked last night. >> rick: what is the potential fallout from his different of opinion with her on brexit? >> well, as john roberts pointed out, you had two very senior cabinet ministers resign just this week in a disagreement with prime minister may. there are a number of other so-called brexiteers that are unhappy with the path that she has chosen. so there's always the possibility they will try to topple her at some point. that's the threat from the inside of her party. at the same time, you know,
12:27 pm
prime minister may has a very thin majority and depends on northern ireland party for her majority in particle lent. the opposition labor party will try to exploit this to their advantage. so this is a development that i'm sure prime minister may wasn't expecting a couple days ago when she was at the nato summit with president trump in brussels. >> rick: the president doesn't shy away from criticizing world leaders that he's about to meet with. he's done this several times in the past. perhaps that's part of his style to put them off kilter, back on their heels. then maybe he has more leverage when he has a position to negotiate with these leaders. >> it's part of his style with our allieallies. if you look at the blistering attack on germany just before the nato summit and then this interview which dropped just as
12:28 pm
the president was finishing up a dinner at the palace with the prime minister, it certainly par for the course if you want to put it that way. what we don't always see is those tactics being used against american's adversaries. you'd expect that against putin and russia. so it's perplexing how the president picks fights with our allies and friends but doesn't have the same approach with our adversaries. >> rick: i guess we'll see his approach with putin coming monday as we watch air force one taxiing at glasgow, scotland where the president will spend the next couple days before he heads off to helsinki on that jet. the president's tactics get results though around the world. >> if you're referring, for example, yesterday the
12:29 pm
conclusion of the nato summit, you know, the president a has elevated the defense spending issue above everything else at nato. the question is, you know, whether that will achieve the goal that he's set. nato's defense spending has been increasing since 2014. it's about the russian threat in europe, especially, and the threat that the united states an our european allies perceive from russia. so the president has pushed the issue, but it would be inaccurate to say the increase in defense spending has started with donald trump's presidency. it started before. he continued that trajectory. that's for sure. the question is whether it's worth blowing up the u.s. alliance relationships or putting them at stake as a way of generating leverage.
12:30 pm
that's a major question in the minds of many leaders after yesterday's nato summit. >> thanks, jeff. from the center from strategic and international studies. we appreciate your time as we watch air force one continuing to roll at glasgow where it just touched down. president trump now in scotland wrapping up his united kingdom tour. we'll take a quick break. a live report from the protests in london and a preview of the upcoming summit with putin. we'll bring you back live when the president steps off of that plane.
12:31 pm
12:32 pm
>> rick: a fox report now. the boy's soccer team in thailand intended to be in the cave an hour. that's according to the father of one of the kids. he son said the group went into the cave and didn't realize it started raining outside. >> the water flow was strong. all 13 of them saw small passage
12:33 pm
or a crawl, so they dug the hole to get to another spot. >> british rescuers returning home. one diver talk about finding the boys. >> initially excitement, relief that they were still alive. as they came down to slope, we counted them. unbelievable. >> the boys and their coach still in the hospital. family members can't touch them in case of possible illness but they can finally be in the same room. the news continues after this. a? yeah... but popping these things really helps me...relax. please don't, i'm saving those for later. at least you don't have to worry about renters insurance. just go to geico.com. geico helps with renters insurance? good to know. been doing it for years. that's really good to know. i'll check 'em out. get to know geico. and see how easy homeowners and renters insurance can be.

with a range of suv's perfect for any adventureility, at the lexus golden opportunity sales event. experience amazing at your lexus dealer. >> rick: a live look at air force one. the door is open. we're waiting for president trump and first lady melania trump to descend the stairs from that jet that just landed in glasgow, scotland. the president spending the weekend there in one of his golf clubs before heading to helsinki, finland before meeting
12:36 pm
with vladimir putin. and blake burman is covering all of this live in london where the president met with the queen before he left england. blake, are you there? >> i am. hi, rick. doesn't get much cooler than to sit down and have tea with the queen in windsor castle. that's what the president and the first lady did earlier today. just on the outskirts of london. windsor castle is a location that the queen hosts presidents like president obama and president bush and laura bush had tea there and so too did the reagans. queen elizabeth has met with ten -- >> rick: the president now coming down the stairs of air force one, blake with the first lady. tell us what you know about the president's ties to scotland? >> its interesting.
12:37 pm
as you're watching this, the cameras behind me watching this, too. this is an event that this part of the region has been following since the president touched down yesterday. president trump said earlier today in his news conference with the prime minister, theresa may, how much this means to him because his mother was born in scotland. he talked about it in a news conference and how much this region means to him. the president will be at one of his courses, turnberry, that's where they will be staying the next couple nights. not just one of the best golf courses in europe but one of the best in all of the world. so it's probably fair to say it's probable that the president might bring out the sticks when he's over there in turnberry, which he will arrive to soon and the meeting with putin in finland. a bit of down time in scotland
12:38 pm
it will give him some time to prepare for the summit. rick? >> rick: looks like the weather is good. the president is waving to a crowd there with his wife, melania. i know there were massive protests on the streets of london today and apparently protests in scotland as well? >> we were inside some of the protests in london. parliament square is on one side and in the middle is white hall. probably runs about a mile or so. the protesters that we saw were just jockeying back and forth from parliament square and hanging out there. there was no reason -- we couldn't see a pattern as to how they came in and why they stayed. what i can tell you for the most part, it was nonviolent. they were voicing their displeasure with this president. we did not see any arrests for
12:39 pm
several hours that we were there. its 8:30 now here in london. rain behind me. that might have scattered the last of the protesters. they were planning for that to wrap up at 7:00 p.m. for the most part, you can describe it as vocal but nonviolent. >> rick: thanks, blake. we watched the president's s.u.v. do a slow-roll on the runway. benjamin hall was also on the streets with demonstrators in the city of london. benjamin, what can you tell us? >> good afternoon, rick. certainly a few hours ago this was a major protest. they said the largest of 50 years here in the u.k. you can still see a core group behind me that are continuing. they've been drinking a number of hours. it's becoming more of a party for them. what is interesting when we were here, the square was packed. it was not just an anti trump
12:40 pm
protest. it's an anti capitalist, anti-brexit protest as well. the main center point of this ask a 20-foot tall blimp depicting president trump dressed as a baby in a diaper and holding a phone. what was controversial about that, the money was raised by crowd sourcing, but given expressed permission by the mayor of london to fly outside parliament. many politicians and british people in general have been vocal in their anger saying the special relationship is one that you cannot as a politics allow this belittling of a leader. but what we saw here is very interesting. once the speeches started to get going, we starting hearing the leaders, mainly socialist leaders and union leaders saying we must stand up and fight for humanity, fight for muslims, fight for palestine, stand up and fight for climate change.it was really a protest that
12:41 pm
brought together many people from london but all here for different reasons. so it was an interesting one. certainly a mass protest. president trump will have missed it himself because he was outside london. that's because this was a working visit. it was not a state visit. a state visit would have seen him with the horse drawn carriage. instead a bilateral meeting. he meet with prime minister may. the meetings went successful. we heard there's a state visit still being planned. so it's been quite a day in london and certainly people are out on the streets. what was upsetting to see is how important in nature the attacks on president trump were. they were very personal. they weren't about his policies. the government will be upset about that. lots of people were upset about the government in general. they took their anger out on theresa may. they said she shouldn't have been as welcoming to president trump. the u.k. parliament is in
12:42 pm
turmoil right now. now more than ever people are saying that they need the batting of their closer ally, the u.s. and what happened behind me might have not been the tactic to take. >> and you mentioned the words. >> yes. president trump gave an interview to the sun newspaper where he said this is a mistake not to treat a valuable partner well. but going back in the past, he's blamed -- khan is a muslim and the president suggested some of his policies may have facilitated or led to some of the terror tactics here. there's no love between the two of them. that has doubled up again here today, rick? >> rick: thanks, benjamin. up next, more on president
12:43 pm
trump's next stop, helsinki to meet with president putin. we'll talk about what both men stand to gain or lose in the summit.
12:44 pm

>> rick: president trump's next stop, finland for his one-on-one meeting with vladimir putin. this comes after rod rosenstein's indictments of a dozen russian agents. let's bring in john hannah from the state department for bill clinton and george h.w. bush and works for the defense of democracy. they are a nonprofit, nonpart
12:47 pm
son and national security institute. quite an introduction, sir. >> thank you, rick. >> rick: are your expectations with putin high or low? >> i think as president trump said in his press conference today with theresa may, he's not sure how much will come out of it. i think he's right to set expectations low. the president himself as we saw in the singapore summit with kim jong-un puts a high premium on developing these personal relationships with world leaders, getting to know them and hoping that from that will flow a greater ability to identify mutual interests in areas where interests might overlap and we can actually get some good work done. >> rick: the president said he would confront putin on meddling, but he said there may not be a perry mason moment. deputy a.g. rod rosenstein may have given he him one today. >> i think these indictments today really do throw a bit of a monkey wrench into the summit.
12:48 pm
the pressure on the president will be higher than before to really come down hard on putin on the issue of election meddling which we know the president has never really had his heart it in. he's been reluctant to hit this issue as most of his critics want. i just think it's going to make it much more difficult to have that kind of friendly, can we just get along kind of meeting with putin that the president has long sought. >> rick: senator chuck schumer said the president should cancel the meeting, that it was an insult to democracy. what do you think? >> i think that's crazy. we've got to step back and remember that these remain the two largest nuclear weapons states in the world, that our relations have gotten to as low a point since the end of the cold war. makes every sense in the world for these leaders to get
12:49 pm
together, look each other in the eye and express not only their deshire to work together and to stabilize their relationship, but to talk about areas where we have real differences. >> rick: break that down for us. what does each side have to gain from this summit? >> first and foremost, you do have to have some stability in the relationship between the two largest nuclear powers in the world. the chances for miscalculation, for misunderstandings remain very great. we have to avoid that and open up a channel for real diplomacy between us. beyond that, i think the area where they may be looking to demonstrate that they can do something together is syria and for the united states in particular, that is the question of iran's penetration of syria, its efforts to develop a land bridge all the way to the mediterranean to israel's northern border, the danger of a
