and we can have what i think is a good dialogue. we are back in washington next sunday morning with the latest "mediabuzz." arthel: this is a fox news alert. president trump reacting to the justice department's release of hundreds of pages much documents last night concerning the 2016 fisa application for former trump campaign advisor carter page showing the unverified steele dossier was a major con poll end for the warrant. i'm arthel neville. mike: i'm mike emanuel in for eric shawn. though heavy redacted, it shows carter page was being recruited by the russian government.

the president tweeting this morning quote looking more and more like the trump campaign for president was illegally being spied upon, surveillance, for the political gain of crooked hillary clinton and the dnc. she did better with crazy bernie. republicans must get tough now. >> there is a serious problem with the fbi presenting to the fisa court an application for a search warrant against a united states citizen, then followed by three renewals when they were because it on a very flawed document. the so-called steele dossier that has never been verified. reporter: the fbi released that infamous fisa warrant which gave the intelligence community authority in 2016 to monitor a

former trump campaign official carter page. it reads in part quote this fbi believes that page has been collaborating and conspiring with the russian government. there is probable cause such activities involve or are about to involve violations of the criminal statutes of the united states. the warrant has been released due to a judicial watch freedom of information request. president trump declaring on twitter these documents prove the doj and fbi misled the court. >> i have never been an agent of a foreign power in -- by any stretch of the imagination. i may have back in the g-20 when they were getting ready to do that in st. petersburg i might

have participated in a few meetings that a lot of people including people from the obama administration were sitting in on in geneva and paris. et cetera. reporter: the heavily redacted documents confirm the steel dossier was a component of the fisa warrant. chairman goodlatte says this release should put all conspiracy theories to rest. >> most of of the information that is redmactd that report should easily be seen by the american people. they can judge for themselves. but it does not support the issuance of a civil warrant against mr. page. reporter: senator rubio saying while he doesn't believe this new information proves quote anything about collusion, it also doesn't prove that the intelligence community was spying on the trump campaign. mike: gillian, many thanks.

arthel: we'll bring in steven mulroy, a former prosecutor and law professor. steven, what do you find significant in these documents and why did the government release them now? >> well, it's actually significant that they were released at all. it's highly unusual for documents of this nature. we are basically talking about a counter espionage investigation by the fbi. so you would never see these documents released in the first place. but president trump decided to declassify them for the news memo, the house republican memo to be written and released. as you result there was a freedom of information act request that led to their release. that's probably the most of surprising thing to me. with respect to whether they show some sort of conspiracy by the fbi, i have to say that i

don't see all that much that's surprising in there. it's not surprising for an application for a warrant to rely on hearsay or second-hand sources. they don't have to show proof beyond a reasonable doubt. just a reasonable basis suspecting a person might be an agent of a foreign power. this person did describe himself as aning formal connection with the kremlin. i didn't see anything that showed carter page was an agent of a foreign power. on the other hand i didn't notice anything that suggested some sort of lack of objectivity on the part of the republican appointed judges who approved the warrants. thul *er move is calculated. what if anything is the american

public to make of the release of these documents and the contents? >> well, i think the contents give both side something to argue about. house republicans are going to say, these documents show that the steele dossier played a significant part in the fbi's basis. i think house democrats will counter that that wasn't the only information or it's hard to tell from the redactions what other information was out there. i do know there are a couple ofific complaints that have been made about the fbi's conduct that these documents suggest aren't all that problematic. the media's example is the fbi didn't identify the clinton campaign by name as the entity that commissioned the steele dossier. that's true. but also the documents show they identified somebody, a page-long

footnote as somebody who was deliberately trying to discredit the trump campaign. so the judges had that information for fairness and balance. and the judge knew it was not the practice of the fbi to identify any party by name. arthel: they prefer to president trump as candidate one. does this pertain to or suggest anything about the mueller investigation? >> well, it certainly doesn't have information on it that's any new information that would go toward collusion. so i don't know how relevant it is beyond what we knew from february's revelation about the mueller investigation. on the other hand in the other direction it doesn't show there was anything untoward or conspiratorial about the fbi investigation.

in that sense maybe it's a wash. arthel: you are a law professor now but a former prosecutor. if you could anticipate the justice department's next move, where would you aim your focus? >> i think we need to look at the mueller prosecution team itself and see if they are going to take that fateful step from indicting russian persons for active interference in the 2016 election which has already happened on multiple occasions. whether they will take a step of indicting any american person for cooperating with that russian campaign of interference, particularly somebody at any level of the trump campaign, even at a low level. unless and until that happens, we are waiting for the other shoe to drop. they wildrop. arthel: . at this point no one else has been implicated.

let's show the president's tweet this morning. congratulations to @judicial watch and tom fitton. as usual letter ridiculously heavily redacted but confirm with little doubt that the department of justice and fbi misled the courts. a scam. does this legal team approve his tweets, the president, that is. but could the president's tweets be used against him in federal court? >> arthel, if i were the president's lawyers, i would be urging him not to do these kinds of tweets. i don't know they are particularly helpful to the legal case. he has to make his own calculations as to what the political ramifications are and the political need for these tweets to rally his base. i think the more there appears

to be a targeted campaign of trying to discredit the active investigation, the more it might look like there is a potential case for obstruction. however, at this point, i think that ship already sailed. he has proven he is trying to discredit the mueller investigation. i'm not sure if this extra tweet adds all that much more to what we have seen for the past whatever, 9 months. arthel: . law professor and former prosecutor, steven mulroy, thank you. mike: the rising popularity of alexandria ocasio-cortez teaming up with vermont senator bernie sanders to campaign in america's heartland. >> whether you are in kansas

other bronx or vermont, we have common interests and common aspirations. and we have to fight for an america that works for all of us. >> this is about inspiring people to the polls, giving them something to vote for. creating hope for this nation. mike: garrett tenney joins us from washington. reporter: sanders and alexandria ocasio-cortez are two of the leading movers in the agenda. they believe they can win in states president trump won. medicare for all, free college tuition and a guaranteed living wage for every person. today on cbs, ocasio-cortez says she believes that platform is helping bring new voters into the democratic party. >> i think the factor that

ultimately created our win is the fact that we had bold commitments of medicare for all, tuition-free public college, insuring a green new deal for our future and championing those issues. we won across demographics. reporter: party leaders are worried the socialist agenda could make it more difficult to win swing states. but congressional candidate james thompson says he believes just the opposite. >> when people want to say this is trump country -- i say hell no. they tell me, you should be more centrist. you should try to be republic-like. well, i'm not republican-lite.

i looked at what we are doing in our district and that doesn't work. reporter: nationwide the democratic socialistedrs of america -- democratic socialists of america have endorsed 24 candidates. mike: the it would house is throwing its support behind a republican candidate running to be georgia's next governor. the vice president stumping for brian kemp. president trump also backing kemp in a tweet. he says he loves our military and vets and the 2nd amendment. francesca, great to see you. in many cases leaders stay out of elections until the primaries are sorted out.

are you surprised the white house is going all out for brian kemp in this georgia rate? >> this is something we have seen president trump do increasingly. we saw him get involved in alabama where he supported martha roby. but he went all in for her as well. we see this president saying it's not good enough for someone to just be republican. he wants them to be someone he knows will support his agenda in congress. as we start campaigning more aggressively, not on do i think we'll see him endorsing people but we'll see him personally campaigning aggressively for some of these candidates. mike: what if brian kemp loses in georgia? >> his opponent could go on to win as a republican. he had been endorsed by the

sitting governor nathan steel. so that could face in the general elections, stacy abrams if she won, she would be the first woman who is an african-american to be a governor. that would be a tough challenge for either of these candidates who win this runoff. mike report entire house of keptives is on the ballot for november. i want you to hear what steve sca lease is saying about keeping the majority. >> he leasey is talking about raising taxes and abolishing sighs. that's not the direction we need to go. i hope they keep going around letting people know that's what they would do if they were in the majority. >> he's saying democrats are going too far to the left. are you surprised by that

strategy? >> both sides are pushing a line on immigration that we'll see when it turns out in november who is right about that. however, on the left you are seeing more and more candidates embrace the bernie sanders model. i know you just showed him. since the 2016 election he has continued to stay engaged and campaign with candidates and continued to push his message including the medicare for all and raising the minimum wage. i think you will continue to see more candidates moving in that direction after they have seen how successful he was, even though he did not beat hillary clinton, he was a successful candidate and got quite close and won a bunch of states. i think you will see more candidates move towards that model on the left. mike: what do you make of so much energy behind alexandria ocasio-cortez who pulled off a shocker in the primary against joe crowley. but she hasn't been elected to anything yet.

>> but she is in what is considered a safe he democratic seat. so she is likely to win that november election. so she has more time to campaign for candidates who are of the same told in as she is. she is a young candidate with a lot of energy. and someone they hope can re-energize their party. we are starting to look at 2020. and the party trying to figure out what they can do to try to unseat president trump. mike require was fascinating to see her with bernie sanders in what is particularly ruby red kansas. >> president trump did win that state, by the was by 52% of the vote. hillary clinton only one 35% of the vote in kansas. 52% of the vote is not by as

large a margin as it could have been. so you are seeing a lot of these trends around the nation that give democrats the sense they can take back the red states and turn them blue. mike: do you think the democratic socialist surge is a response to president trump like on the other side the tea party was to president obama. >> we saw about there are the 2016 election. i think our seeing partially, he did so well against hillary clinton that democrats are starting to believe that perhaps this is a better way for them to move forward as they try to challenge president trump. >> how alarmed do you think. >> of the democrats in washington, pelosi, hoyer, schumer, durbin to name a few. >> democrats have been very

supportive as president trump has noted. but in some cases you will see nancy pelosi disstansd herself in some ways from the comments democrats are making including max seen waters -- maxine waters who has been held up as a figurehead of the democratic party. mike: thanks for your time. great to see you. arthel: senators meeting with president trump's nominee for the supreme court ahead of the confirmation hearing. could judge kavanaugh's earlier writings jeopardize his chances of serving on the high court? a three-hour hostage situation in a trader joe's supermarket ending in tragedy. what police say the suspect is accused of doing before staging that standoff. >> once inside the store the gunman still armed with a

handgun took numerous victims -- sit southerns as well as store employees and hostage and held them against their will. e that.

joe's during a 3-hour standoff yesterday. a store manager was killed. officers exchanged gunfire with the suspect during the tense situation. witnesses said they had to scramble for cover. >> they were just doing their shopping. then i heard gunshots. and i didn't realize it was shots. and then i saw people just running toward the back of the store. so i knew something was wrong. they will were this took place in silver lake, a neighborhood in los angeles. i can't believe this happened at a t joe's. reporter: this investigation is far from being wrapped up. the trader joaps where this hostage situation happened is closed as investigators pete

things together. you can still see bullet holes from yesterday' standoff. it started as a family dispute in south los angeles. suspect investigators say shot his grandmother then another female and drove off with that female victim. there was a chase where at one point the police say the suspect shot out his back window. they say the suspect after getting out his car ran inside that grocery store. investigators say there was an exchange of gunfire and the suspect and they believe that's when the store manager was shot and killed. we spoke with one witness who was right there when shots were fired. >> i was talking out of this store and i look over to the side and he jumped out of his car and it looked like he was shooting at the police officers as he was running.

reporter: family of the store manager identified the victim as milaga corado. her brother tweeted please respect my family's privacy as we are still coming to terms with this. they credit good negotiating to get the suspect to give herself up. the grandmother who was shot this critical condition and the other fee mail who was shot is expected to be okay. arthel: i read the young lady just had been promoted to manager of the store. mike rar manhunt under way in houston for the suspect in the shooting of a cardiologist who once treated george w. bush.

new reaction from lawmakers regarding president trump's performance at a summit with vladimir putin. >> i don't think it was one of the best moments of the administration. rhetoric matters and the policies matter even more. r rew. and somehow putting you first made us first. i guess that makes us both number one. low fares. great service. that's transfarency. [clap, clap, ding] .. ..

come away with me barnabas! but i am a simple farmer. my life is here... [telephone ring] ahoy-hoy. alexander graham bell here...

no, no, my number is one, you must want two! two, i say!! like my father before... [telephone ring] like my father before... ahoy-hoy! as long as people talk too loudly on the phone, you can count on geico saving folks money. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. >> follett continues days after president trump in helsinki with vladimir putin. the "washington post" abc news poll finds only 33% of voters approve of how the president handles the past week summit. committee chair trey gowdy leveling more criticism of the president this morning on "fox news sunday." despite the president clarifying his position on russian meddling in the u.s. election. >> i watched the press conference. it wasn't just outlined.

the president missed a really good opportunity to distinguish the united states the united states from any other country but especially from russia. when you're the leader of the free world, you really shouldn't be having to correct a. >> laura ingle is my firm new jersey near the president's golf club. hi, laura. reporter: hi, mike. the summit has certainly been one of the most talked about news items of the week and what is front and center on the talk shows this sunday and we have some to play for you appeared reaction is swift and strong from both sides of the aisle after the historic 46 minute news conference between the two world leaders on monday in which president trump appeared to accept president clinton's denial the russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election. sidestepping conclusion of america's own intelligence agency. republican representative trey

gowdy who serves as chairman of the house oversight committee on "fox news sunday" today. >> the evidence is overwhelming. they can be proven beyond any evidentiary burden the russia is not her friend and they try to attack us in 2016. the president made 30s to reply on the people that he has chosen to advise him or those advisers need to reevaluate whether or not they can serve in this administration. the disconnect cannot continue the evidence is overwhelming and the president needs to say that it acts like it. >> the president who is here in new jersey this weekend to to twitter this morning to push back on the negative comments at a really been building all week treating this. i had a great meeting with putin in the fake news used every bit of their energy to try and disparage it. so bad for our country. other lawmakers are still wishing the summit could have been handled differently, too.

>> i would've liked to say look, president putin. we know you interfered in our elections and you are doing it now and that's not a question. the statement in your consequences to it. if you want to rejoin the world order and observe international law and stop invading a sovereign nation like ukraine, then we can have a pathway forward. >> one main question, will that path forward include this proposed meeting at the white house this fall between the two world leaders. of course the trump administration for this visit in the fall which seems to catch many of his own intelligence agencies off guard. no word on when the meeting will take place. mike could >> live in berkeley heights. laura, thank you a lot. >> more in the spirit and a the spirit in a hoffman, fox news contributor and former cia

station chief who served in iraq and pakistan. good to have you with us today. >> thank you. arthel: if these polls of the public's way of speaking to the president, what should the president take away from the results? >> i think what the public is justifiably concerned about is this. we are looking at a week out from the summit and the administration has not issued a definitive and detailed statement about what was discussed in this very lengthy meeting between president trump and president putin. we kind of succeeded to russia. that's vladimir putin did as an officer, director of their internal security police. i think we would do well just to explain to the american people exactly what was discussed and water strategy is going forward. >> i point out your former cia station therein moscow.

so you understand the inner workings of the russian government very well. do you think it's a good idea to have president putin in the white house? >> yeah, i think it is time to meet with the russians and vladimir putin in particular. i'll say this much. if you want to go to the land of fake news, go to moscow. vladimir putin owned his price, particularly the television media. but in the printed media as well. they get out front and explain the policies are. a senator. a senator bruno noted, rhetoric matters. they talked about taking offenses cyberoperations to counter russia's intrusions. i would use the word intrude rather than metal in our elections. it is really hard to do that effectively are the president doesn't say to vladimir putin that we know the russia interfered in our election and

if we keep doing that we will hold you accountable. i'm warning you right now. deterrence requires a warning from the party before we take action to avoid russia in this case not fully understanding where and why the cyberattacks to place. >> do you think president putin had compromising information on president trump? >> i've never seen any indication that is true. a lot of people speculating about it into the document of our russia policy, when i was at cia, we made analytical judgments based on intelligence of low, medium, high degrees of confidence. some of the opponents of president trump. john brennan in particular are doing themselves favors by speculating without any evidence that putin could blackmail the president. there's just no evidence for that. john brennan should know he's

causing collateral damage to national security. his right to exercise freedom of chief virtue but to take the hippocratic oath of doing no harm to national security when he does that. >> how does that jeopardize national security? >> it causes allies to question the united states whether they can share intelligence with us. i think at the end of the day people who do that are really doing prudent bidding. aside from the the administration has done some good things that are not $200 million in security cooperation assistant to ukraine. when the president doesn't have a strong rhetorical level of support for ukraine's independent been called up putin for annexing crimean supporting russian separatist, then we have a problem. arthel: finally come you said it's a good idea to keep dialogue open with russian president putin and it's okay to

have him come to the white house. what would you like at that time were president trump to say to mr. putin publicly? >> historically when we've engaged with russia or the soviet union most effectively, during the second world war we collaborate to fight germany. at the same time soviets were stealing secrets of leveling the german high-level penetrations. while we look for areas of collaboration at arms control which is arguably as important as anything am most likely to achieve success. we also need to publicly remind the russian we are countering in deterring their nefarious espionage and military aggression against us and our allies. if we do those two things and they are mutually compatible and required for success in foreign policy with russia. we can say is we did that we are going to naïvely look ahead and a positive relationship with russia and simultaneously hold them accountable.

that's why looked to the administration to do. find areas of common interest, counterterrorism. russia has been complicit in aiding aside to commit crimes against humanity. they've gone back on every agreement we've made there. at the same time, it's a platform for us to call them out. >> be weary of syria. go to the president not to go on with russia to have any agreement to rebuild syria is what you're saying. daniel hoffman, really enjoyed talking to you and we will have you back again. >> as always, thank you. >> democrats trying to block a nominee for the high court. they may have a new reason to deny judge kavanaugh's confirmation. the reaction from the next gas. >> they will rise up and not well thought the nomination.

train to houston police searching for clues to identify the gunmen behind the deadly shooting of a doctor who once treated former president george h.w. bush. the cardiologist was shot and killed while riding his bike in broad daylight on friday. bryan llenas joins us with more. >> the houston police chief said saturday this is a crime that doesn't make sense. we don't even have a motive. he was shot and killed in broad daylight friday while riding his bicycle in the city's medical center. the 60 federal cardiologist, dr. house connect was riding his bike to work as he always did. just before 9:00 a.m. a man on another bicycle drove past the doctor, turned and fired two shots. it's not clear whether this was

targeted or a random shooting. this is the only sketch of the suspect. the clean-shaven white or hispanic dirty old men. five to 10 with a slender build. he was wearing a gray warm-up jacket. police are working to find video of the suspect and are asking the public for help if anyone has any images or videos of the suspected shooter perhaps fleeing the scene. he worked with dr. house connect for more than 30 years while this morning on "fox and friends" he spoke about the shock. >> the medical center is generally regarded to be almost a protective environment in broad daylight in the middle of the medical center. you are surrounded by people who've got concerned on their mind. >> dr. house connect to house

connect differences for more than 40 years, treated bush 41 for irregular heartbeat in 2000 at methodist hospital in houston following his murder, president bush described him as a fantastic cardiologist and a good man. he said prayers to the family in right now the manhunt is underway and there's still no motive. >> someone on a shocking murder mystery. mike: the supreme court showdown as top democrats are speaking out after the nomination of brick, not for the highest court in the land. how can we say when you book direct at choicehotels.com you always get the lowest price on our rooms, guaranteed? let's say it in a really low voice. carl? lowest price, guaranteed. just stick with badda book. badda boom.

mike: new developments and what new developments in what is a contentious confirmation to your president trump is fit to serve on the supreme court. rat carbonara handed in an article that includes thought on presidential authority suggesting that the ruling by president nixon to turn over the watergate tapes may have been wrongly decided. new jersey democrat bob menendez this morning on "fox news sunday." >> a judge who's written in fact are the is above the law. he can decide what laws are constitutional, which i believe was reserved for the supreme court under government and

therefore not a bailout if in fact he believes is unconstitutional. he believes the president cannot be investigated while in office. >> justin walker is a law professor at the university of louisville. secret for kennedy and judge kavanaugh. great to see you again. one item that is generating some buzz and since the graphics team is working overtime let's move on. to control information in the executive branch by holding they had power and jurisdictions over the president would disclose information in a response to a subpoena sought by a subordinate executive branch official. i was a huge step with implications that people do not appreciate sufficiently. do expect that to be a big issue in judge kavanaugh's hearing? >> this attack is probably the silliest that we've heard. i say that for two reasons.

number one, we know judge kavanaugh's fears are completely in the mainstream because over the past 12 years he's been vindicated by the supreme court and unprecedented number of times. the number two reason i say it is so silly with regard to the specific cases you are mentioning, judge kavanaugh called that moment, that case one of the greatest moments in the history of the american judiciary. he said that in 2016 because he explained it was a time when judges stood up for the rule of law against nixon and the presidency. the fact that 20 years ago he was thinking about that case in every case in a critical and thoughtful manner and tried to look at it from all sides does not tell us how he would resolve that particular case. he said that in 1999 that even when there's a democratic president, judge kavanaugh does not allow the party of the president to affect how he views a particular case and it tells us judge kavanaugh will look in

an independent thoughtful way. but the judges been for the past 12 years. >> democratic leader chuck schumer saying according to his own words, brett kavanaugh believes the decision that held richard nixon accountable bodes very poorly for any decision that kavanaugh might make the whole president trump accountable. your reaction. >> almost every word in the bob menendez statement that you read is simply inaccurate and i say that because in 2016, judge kavanaugh called the united states in which the supreme court ruled against president nixon. judge kavanaugh called by one of the greatest moment in the history of the american judiciary. they are perfectly free to go back to 1999 can take one sentence judge kavanaugh said let's look at this case and there was thereby, was it wrong.

in 2016 he said it was one of the greatest moments in the history of the american judiciary. >> the failed nomination to be a circuit court judge thinking that nomination and were already here in this about needing to get documents for money served in the bush white house. >> i think we have to put this in a little bit. we are talking about two different people to very different circumstances. he's hardly been confirmed by the senate once in 2006. secondly, we are to know he's going to be producing more documents than any nominee in the history of the judiciary. somewhere in the realm of the million documents. number three, although i understand why people want to know what judge kavanaugh said 20 years ago, when it comes to judge kavanaugh, we don't have to guess what kind of judge he will be. we know exactly what kind of judge he will be good look at

the past 12 years when he's been a judge on the second most important court in the country when he showed all 300 independent, evenhandedness, brilliantly go mind and someone among vindicated by the supreme court over and over again because the views are so in the mainstream. dimmick justin walker, professor at university of louisville. thank you for your time and analysis. that does it for us. arthel: s., but will be back at 4:00 eastern. more news now from washington with leland bitter and elizabeth prann.
