call on. >> is voter suppression part of the election process that the president is trying to look for? >> john, go ahead. >> are you not going to answer that? >> if i call on you, i'll be happy to answer your question. john, go ahead. >> you're not going to an me? >> that's all right. >> thank you. i wanted to ask about the immediate reaction to the president's comments that he made at that joint press conference in helsinki. every cable channel, fox, nbc, cnn reacted to the comment that he did not believe that russia interfered in the u.s. presidential election. i got my inbox inundated with e-mails from republican members of congress with their reaction. 24 hours for the president to correct the record. why did it take so long for the president to clarify the comments that he made at that press conference? >> the president put out and

initial tweet after boarding air force one that clarified his comments on the intelligence community. he wanted to make sure that was clear. the very first chance he had in a public setting the following day, he clarified his comments. i don't think that it was that long for that to be the very first public appearance that he had following arriving back to the united states. >> it was quite -- >> it wasn't 24 hours before he responded at all. he put out an official tweet from air force one. >> the comment was to change would to wouldn't. a lot of people would argue there was ample time for the president. he tweets all the time from air force one. >> and he tweeted that night. >> and to put out a statement to clarify what he meant to say during the joint news conference. he didn't do that. what took so long? >> once he reviewed the transcript, he wanted to

publicly address the clarification, which he did. >> there's been an effort to impeach rod rosenstein. is that from lack of cooperation from congress? >> the president wants all documents to be turned over. we're continue to work with our department of justice. nothing further. jim, go ahead. >> a follow up on that. would the white house denounce that effort? do they have confidence within the deputy attorney general? >> the president would like to see the documents turned over when the president no longer has confidence in his administration, we'll let you know. jim? >> friday the press conference with prime minister may, i asked the president if he going to tell vladimir putin to stay out of u.s. elections. and he left, the president said yes.

did he tell vladimir putin to stay out of u.s. elections? >> i'm certainly the president as both he and president putin said, discussed election meddling. we made very clear what our position is. >> did the president of the united states tell the president of russia to stay out of u.s. elections? >> the president made clear to stay out of u.s. elections. >> was there a recording -- >> a couple last questions. >> there was a recording made of their one-on-one meeting? >> i'm not aware of one. >> did you say the president is concerned about the election process. you talk about -- you did not mention voter suppression. voter suppression has been an issue for decades. particularly in these last few elections. voter suppression on the table. when he talked about voter fraud, people were talking about voter suppression as well. is voter suppression on the table as well? >> we want to do everything within our power to protect the

integrity of our elections and we'll look at that on a number of fronts. the reason i addressed that is because of russian involvement in the past. one last question. >> i want to change topic a minute, if i may and go south. >> sure. that would be fine. >> thank you. >> so the incoming president of mexico has made two very bold suggestions. number 1, he looking at giving amnesty to the drug cartels operating within there. today they come out and say they're seriously looking at legalizing all drugs in mexico. if they do that, obviously it will have a tremendous impact on the incoming amount of drugs into the united states. what is the president's position on that and are they going to do anything to stop that from happening in mexico? >> certainly. we're going to continue to engage with our mexican

partners. i don't have a specific policy announcement on that front. however, i can say that we would not support the legalization of all drugs anywhere and certainly wouldn't want to do anything that would allow more drugs to come into this country. thanks. have a great day. >> what is the administration -- >> shepard: there you have it. backing up and trying again. i'm shepard smith in new york. shaping the message already delivered by president trump. the president added an nt to a world. today when asked whether russia is still targeting the president, the president said no. just now the press secretary said something else. here's sarah sanders. >> get a chance to speak with the president after those comments. the comment was -- said thank you very much and saying -- >> shepard: he wasn't asked if he would answer questions.

he was asked if russia is still targeting the united states and he said no. the truth is recorded. why he says one thing and then his white house attempts to change it, we don't know. >> is russia still targeting the u.s., mr. president? >> thank you very much. no. >> the reporter asked the questions and witnesses said there was no doubt he was answering the question. this goes directly against what his top intelligence official said repeatedly last week. >> with regards to state action, russia is the most aggressive foreign actor and they continue their efforts to undermine our democracy. >> shepard: dan coats said the digital infrastructure that serves this country is literally under attack and one of the worst offenders is russia. dan coats who served in the military, former senator, former

representative in congress. a man that told barack obama you must sanction the russias because of their invasion and the take over of crimea. dan coats said that. this is part of a pattern. one thing is said at the white house and changed in another setting. first the president trashed the british prime minister, theresa may in public. then the white house backed it up before she barely survive add challenge in parliament. it happened again regarding a statement the president made during his summit with vladimir putin. about 27 hours, half a dozen tweets and two interviews after that statement, president trump claims he used the word would instead of wouldn't when he said i don't understand any reason why would be russia interfering in american democracy. in context, his statement was

clear. he said putin was very strong and powerful in his denial. again, part of a pattern. say one thing, change it later. sort of. fall-out from that summit continues on capitol hill. some lawmakers say they're considering new sanctions against moscow. mike pompeo is set to testify on this matter next week. lawmakers from both parties say they want to know what happened in that meeting. 130 minutes, two hours and ten minutes between the president and vladimir putin. of course pompeo wasn't in the room. so he can only testify by what the president told him about the meeting so some on capitol hill are asking that the interpreter that was said to have been there when it happened. to that interpreter be called to testify on capitol hill. what happened in the meeting? did the president make any agreements with putin? we don't know. did he make any promises or offer concessions? we don't know. we'll have the latest from the

hill in just a moment. first, peter doocy live at the white house. peter, the pattern continues. say one thing, back it up and change it. >> and today was a case where unlike yesterday where the president came out and he said, you know what? i checked the transcript. that is not exactly what i meant. today sarah sanders said she was standing in the room, in the cabinet room with the president when a lot of the reporters here believed him to say in response to a question, no, he does not think russia is still -- the russian threat to undermine mcdemocracy is ongoing. he was just saying no, i don't want to answer any questions anymore. so the white house says that is that. sarah sanders says this is different that she's not trying to overturn or trying to reverse what president trump said. she's instead interpreting what he said differently and she says that that is also based on a conversation that she had with him, that he was saying no, i don't want to answer anymore questions.

something else the white house is trying to do right now is make sure that everybody in this room remembers that despite some of the comments and how people interpret them differently, the record and the way they deal with russia shows something else. >> he does believe that they would target certainly u.s. elections again. >> the president and coats that said the red lights are blinking on this topic. >> no. as i just said, that's why we're taking steps to ensure these things don't happen again. we wouldn't spend as much time and effort if we didn't believe they're still looking at us. >> so the white house press secretary is saying that regardless of what was said, how reporters understood it, how it was being reported, to look at the record, that they think that that gives them the proof that they would need. president trump in the cabinet room earlier surrounded by his cabinet and america's top

diplomats, he said the same thing. that he thinks his record is better than barack obama, george bush or anybody else that came before. listen. >> we're doing very well, probably as well as anybody has ever done with russia. there's been no president ever as tough as i have been on russia. all you have to do is look at the numbers, look what we've done, look at sanctions. look at ambassadors not there. look at unfortunately what happened in syria recently. i think putin knows that better than anybody, certainly better than the media. he understands it. he's not happy about it. he shouldn't be happy about it. >> something else that sarah sanders revealed at the end of her briefing before she walked back into her office, she does not know of any kind of recording that exists from that one-on-one meeting between president trump and vladimir putin. shep? >> shepard: you asked about the effort from some lawmakers to

hear from the interpreter that were told that was in the room as putin and president trump were speaking. >> right. the american interpreter that was helping president trump communicate with putin has not been heard from at least not public i and so some lawmakers that do not take president trump at his word on capitol hill on the democratic side of the aisle want to subpoena her and make her either confirm or denied whether or not was president trump is saying is true. i asked sanders if that is something that she could get behind. she told us to ask the state department. i haven't had a chance to do that yet, shep. >> shepard: peter doocy, thanks very much. we're going to hear from tara maller in just a moment on what russia's effects are to target the united states. they are ongoing. dan coats makes that perfectly clear. we'll talk about the danger for you, me, the democracy and the rest as fox news channel's coverage continues in just a moment. i have type 2 diabetes.

the act from 2012 designed to sanction russians suspected out carrying out human rights violations. that affects vladimir putin. in addition to that, michael mcfall who was an ambassador and an outspoken critic of president putin. putin said that he wants the opportunity to prosecute those two. it's one thing to say that. the president today we learned from sarah sanders has to speak with his national security team on that before deciding whether those two would be given up for prosecution. that's our understanding of what sarah sanders just said. for more on russia's efforts to undermine american democracy, let's bring that tara maller, senior policy adviser for the counter extremism project. this matter of giving up people in the united states for prosecution in russia is

insanity. you don't give up a former ambassador to the united states for the russians to prosecute. we know what that could end up with. sarah sanders would say that he needs to speak with his national security team was a trigger for me. did you hear that? >> did i'd hear that. what is the real insanity, we still don't know what was said, what was promised, what was exchanged in that one-on-one meeting. there's calls from capitol hill not just to have secretary pompeo come to the hill but the translatener the room from the state department, this is extremely problematic from a u.s. foreign policy perspective. you're getting divergent stories out of the white house that don't converge with what is happening in the press conference. sarah sanders did walk through some elements of what happened in helsinki, but it's not clear that she has an insight to exactly what happened in that meeting. you're absolutely right. if the president did broach that

topic with putin, what else did he promise or guarantee? how was it said? the whole helsinki summit was an example of how not to conduct diplomacy with an adversary. i'm all for engaging with adversaries. just not in that fact. >> shepard: sure. past presidents have spoken with putin. when you have a meeting like that, there's a secretary of state, a note taker. president trump could have had that if that's what he wanted. he didn't want that. obviously russians didn't want it. would it be normal for the russians to have a recording of that conversation? >> it's possible. i'm not sure the security mechanisms in place from both sides, screening people or the participants as they came into the room from the u.s. side u.s. for security purposes. so it's possible. having said that, i'm surprised somebody on the trump administration side didn't talk to president trump to convince

him that it's to his benefit -- >> shepard: who says they didn't try? i hear that many close aides wanted him to have a witness, wanted him to have someone in there. he didn't want it. >> so the question is why not. it protects you as well. protects the words that you say. protects your credibility. putin can say whatever he wants that was said in that meeting. the russian press controlled by the government can say that president trump said x, y and z. they can spin what he said and there's no way to push back against that. there's a major credibility crisis on both sides regardless of what was said and the purposes of historical record as well. it's problematic. i really think the whole summit from beginning to end was not just problematic in terms of the content but you can see the white house now is basically immersed in trying to clean up and back-pedal what the policy discussions were and what the united states positions are on key issues. these are not light issues.

syria, north korea. these are serious issues. russian meddling. the dni came out with a state following a presidential press conference refuting the president. this is not a partisan matter. you have republicans calling for secretary pompeo to clarify and criticizing the president as well. >> shepard: they are indeed. tara maller, thank you. >> some gop lawmakers have criticized the president.about everybody that spoke except for rand paul. our next guest explains why other republicans are choosing to stay quiet even though they want to speak out. they want to speak out. why don't that? that's coming up from the fox news deck on a wednesday afternoon. sometimes, bipolar i disorder

>> shepard: president trump is getting push-back from members of his own party as the white house is spending another day walking back his comments about russia. earlier today the president said no when asked if russia is targeting our elections. sarah sanders said the president said no to a question that does he want to answer more questions. nobody asked him that question. this is a day after the president said he misspoke. lindsey graham who often depends the president called his latest comments perplexing. >> this is a big deal for the country. the russians will continue to do this until they pay a heavier price. i believe the intelligence community's assessment what happened in 2016. i want to hear more specifically from the president why he doesn't agree with them. >> senator graham says president trump needs to clear this up.

that's a quote. mike emanuel is live on the hill. hi, mike. >> good afternoon. democrats are pouncing here on capitol hill including chuck schumer saying "mr. president, it's time to stop taking the word of a kgb agent over your own officials. russia interfered in our elections. they're trying to do it again. you must wake up to that fact. other democrats say there must be a congressional response that includes senator patrick leahy who says at the very least, there should be a resolution saying that the u.s. congress favors the u.s. intelligence community over the word of vladimir putin. so a lot of lawmakers here say there must be some kind of response from lawmakers. it's not clear with an election four months awhy whether democrats and republicans can get together and go in the same direction at this stage. we know of course that democrats of the house and senate are calling to hear from president

trump's american interpreter to see what was said in that private putin-trump meeting, shep. >> shepard: and privately, the republicans want to know what happened as well or are they not interested in that? >> no, they want to know what went on in the meeting and they're trying to get a sense of what's going on over at the white house. again, they're waiting to see basically -- let sarah sanders clean up the mess with the president's comment today that people took to say, ah-hah, he's going against the intelligence community again, a senior gop lawmaker earlier today praised the president for admitting yesterday that he misspoke. >> i heard what he said last night and i didn't her the same thing in the news conference. i think we ought to look at it in from this standpoint. president that apologizes for what he said is a gentlemanly thing to do. we ought to applaud him for it. not find fault with it. >> other republicans on capitol hill have called for more sanctions against moscow to send a signal to moscow. the house speaker was very clear yesterday in saying that he

thinks the russian government is a menacing government, shep. >> shepard: mike, thank you. alaina treen from axios. are they going to hear from this interpreter that was in the room and you know, they have a responsibility to take notes or is that not going to happen? >> it's unclear right now. i haven't found any reporting on whether the white house will agree or the interpreter will agree to come to the hill and speak with lawmakers. i assume that the white house wants to keep it quiet. looking forward at what the lawmakers are saying. it's interesting to note that you looked a what happens monday. the press conference was a disaster. that's the assessment of both the gop and the president's allies. now that the dust has settled and it's been 48 hours, republicans are starting to kind of dial back that criticism like

we just saw with chuck grassley on camera there. >> what about this matter of ambassador mcfall and the united kingdom citizen. what about them being turned over that he needs to speak with his national security team about whether the russians will be allowed to question or prosecute them, whatever they want to do? >> well, the president said it was an interesting idea. obviously a lot of critics -- we saw this monday -- that say this is a ridiculous thing to say or even propose something that could happen. really what putin had proposed was that mueller would be able to go to russia and see the interview process with the 12 people indicted and russia would in turn come to the u.s. and see the interview with u.s. officials involved in the

mueller investigation, which clearly from a u.s. standpoint isn't something that would be beneficial to the united states. >> shepard: finally on this say one thing and try to change it to another thing, partially, trying to have it -- the effect is they're getting it both ways. if you want to believe he said one thing, you can have it. i wonder how that plays on capitol hill and in foreign capitols for that matter? >> well, it's not a great look to say, you know, come back the next day, 24 hours after seeing all of this sharp backlash from both parties, democrats and republicans and then say i misspoke. yes, the president should clarify if he misspoke. but that's a huge deal especially dealing with a foreign leader in a press conference where you address the world. i think that this is going to be something that we should keep an eye on and see if the president continues. at the same time, republicans are hesitant to call out the president because they recognize that doing say isn't really

beneficial to them. so we're seeing zero accountability for what the president says and does right now. >> shepard: a layna treene from axios. thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> shepard: the president and the first lady paid respects to a fallen member of the secret service. special agent noel remigan died after having a stroke in scotland. he was on the president's security team. he was a marine and worked as a member of the secret service for two decades. the agency tweeted "the week the u.s. secret service lost one of the finest. we ask prayers for friends and family and colleagues." an accused russian spy in court today. ahead, what we're learning about what she gathered on americans

set up secret communications with moscow. the feds say she co founded a russian gun rights group supported by an ally of vladimir putin to build ties with the nra and conservative politicians in the united states. prosecutors say she offered an american sex in exchange for a job at a special interest organizations. her lawyers say she's not a russian agent and the accusations are overblown. jennifer griffin live with the news from the pentagon. hi, jen. >> hi, shepard. we just got details from the courtroom. the just denied maria butina's request to appear in civilian clothes and she was held without bond. her lawyer said she was here to set up a u.s.-russia friendship society. she was a russian grad student at american university in washington d.c. one republican congressman has come to her defense.

butina arranged a meeting between her mentor, alexander torsion and dana rohrbacher. and rohrbacher said it's stupid, she's the assistant of some guy at the head of a bank? that's what we call a spy? that shows how bogus this is. russia call the allegations against butina far-fetched.it looks as if the fbi instead of carrying out their responsibility of fighting crime is i'm mements a political put-up job set to it by forces whipping up anti-russia hysteria in the u.s., shep. >> shepard: funny that that came from dana rohrabacher. he said to be tight with vladimir putin. >> he spends a lot of time in

moscow. >> shepard: the accusations are detailed about this woman. it's not as if they're guessing here. >> there was a very detailed affidavit and indictment. she entered the u.s. on a student visa to study at america university three months before the presidential election. the fbi tailed her almost immediately. she cozied up to powerful republicans attending campaign events and the cpac conference. in 2013 she began attending nra events after establishing a gun rights group in moscow call right to bear arms. she hosted american gun enthusiasts in russia. one delegation included david clark. she began a romantic relationship with paul ericson of south dakota, a gop based operative 27 years her senior. in private communications, her moscow handler compared her to

anna chapman arrested in the u.s. in 2010. the justice department has convinced the judge that she's a severe flight risk. shep? >> shepard: jen, thank you. let's turn to emily compagno. how serious are these changes against butina? >> they're extremely serious. the government in the court filing was clear this is not a sole subject investigation. the government said after this arrest, we will return to our investigation meaning there's multiple subjects. so it's important for viewers to understand that to stay tuned. because more will be revealed as well as potentially identification of these additional subjects. >> shepard: the details i thought were interesting. the prosecutor said when they went to her place -- remember, if you're a russia national, you go to the embassy and they can ship you back to russia. they said we don't want bond. she had boxes packed up.

she has a long networking history with americans and clear communications according to intelligence agencies, clear, continued and over a long period of time communications with russians. >> shepard: exactly. here's a few things i'd like to highlight. so essentially what is alleged to have occurred, she with her monitor, that they sought back channels into the u.s. government. it's not just about influencing or lining themselves with the gop and the nra and other corporate interests. these are offers of bona fide benefits. some random ones like vladimir putin attending the 2017 national prayer breakfast. they include pro russia conferences. these are concerts efforts that go beyond cultivation of relationships. interestingly in the dms between her mentor and herself, why the gop was so valuable to them. why it was about targeting republicans and a republican president rather than democrats.

they said democrats are against russia and we're only hoping of the aligning social interests with the gop. when the magniski act was introduced before congress, that was under the obama administration. because of thawing relationships with russia, that's why obama didn't want that to pass. so again, under a democratic president. i note as well that they said have patience and cold blood, her mentor said. you'll win the war, not the battle. this was an extremely detailed drawn-out investigation. >> shepard: ohmly compagno, thanks very much. the young soccer players stuck in thailand said when they heard rescuers coming, they weren't sure it was real. they're out of the hospital and now they spoke about what happened. the kids had a chance to kick a soccer ball today for the cameras. some of the thai navy seals that rescued them could not get enough. they said until the divers reached them, they had no food.

thai navy seal that died trying to rescue them. they plan to honor him by entering the monkhood nor a period of time. they said they felt responsible for his death and they shared in the pain of his family. shep? >> shepard: what are doctors saying about the guys? what are they doing? >> a recoverable recovery. some had infections and pneumonia. the toughest thing is the mental recovery. they've gone through an ordeal for people so very young but they'll go out together, going on a holiday together soon and try to recover as a group. so they're saying now they're going to live life to the fullest. back to you. >> shepard: thanks, benjamin. live in london. thank you. breaking news now. a house -- the house has pass add resolution supporting u.s. immigration and customs enforcement or ice. details straightaway.
