not 30 seconds later i found the box under more rubble. >> the good news is, the ring was still intact. it will need to be polished to bring it back to its prior condition. thanks for joining us. i'm dana perino. here's shep. >> shepard: it's noon on the west coast, 3:00 in alexandria, virginia. there's word the star witness against president trump's former campaign chairman may not take the stand after all. the judge overseeing the paul manafort cause laying down the law, telling lawyers which world they cannot use and why the defendant is not on trial for his fancy clothes. now the fbi explaining exactly what happened when agents searched paul manafort's condo. this all comes from robert mueller's investigation. today the president called directly on his attorney general to end that case. is that obstruction of justice when it comes from the president of the united states?

or is it just an opinion? and some families have spent decades waiting and wondering about relatives that went off to fight in the korean war and never came home. now they're hoping inside these caskets lie the remains of their fathers, brothers, uncles and that they can finally say a proper good-bye. today, a somber welcome for heros that died so far from home. let's get to it. first from the fox news deck, president trump issuing his most direct call for attorney general jeff sessions to end the collusion and meddling investigation. then in the briefing, his spokesperson said the president was not telling the attorney general to do anything. >> it's not an order. it's the president's pen and it's ridiculous that all of the corruption and dishonesty that's gone on with the launch of the

witch hunt, the president has watched what has happened. >> here's what the president said. this is a terrible situation and attorney jeff sessions should stopped this rigged witch hunt right now before it continues to stain our country any further. bob mueller is totally conflicted and his 17 angry democrats that are doing his dirty work are a disgrace to the u.s.a. that tweet was an official statement by the president as the white house says all of his tweets are. the special counsel is looking into the president's tweets as part of his investigation into obstruction. as the president and mrs. sanders are no doubt aware, attorney general jeff sessions cannot end the investigation. he recused himself as required due to his role in the president's campaign. despite that, president trump said he would have picked a different attorney general had he known sessions would have followed the rules and recused

himself. the president has stepped up his direct attacks on the special counsel accusing mueller by name of having conflicts of interest. more on that in a moment. the top democrat on the house intelligence committee responded to today's tweet as many others have from the president. california congressman adam schiff tweeting the president of the united states just called on his attorney general to put an end to an investigation in which the president, his family and campaign may be implicated, this is an attempt to obstruct justice hiding in plain sight. the chief white house con inspector didn't john roberts live on the north line. hi, john. >> at the very least, there's an inherent contradiction. you have the president saying the attorney general, jeff sessions should shut down the mueller investigation, but at the same time, the president and the white house have on many occasions said that the mueller investigation should continue to its logical conclusion. the president tried to have it both ways today sending out the tweet but at the briefing, sarah

huckabee sanders this afternoon saying no, we think the investigation should continue, though the president does think that it's been going on too long and as you pointed out at the top what he said today in the tweet was not official policy. it was an opinion. listen here. >> the president is not obstructing. he's fighting back. the president is stating his opinion. he is stating it clearly. he's expressing the frustration that he has with the level of corruption with the people like james comey, andrew mccabe. there's a reason the president is angry and most of america is as well and no reason he shouldn't voice his opinion. >> the president expressed his opinion about the mueller investigation many times. even though people say the president and his outside counsel say that was blowing off steam, jay sekulow and rudy guliani found it necessary to both put out statements today

dialling back what the president said. sekulow saying in a statement "the president did not issue an order or directive to the department of justice. rudy guliani saying for months it's time to bring this inquiry to an end. the president has expressed the same opinion." again, the president has done this a lot, shep. i can't count the number of time he's expressed his displeasure about jeff sessions or the witch hunt or the mueller investigation. i can't remember a time when his outside attorneys said this is what the president really meant to say. >> shepard: john, you asked whether the white house would increase his proposed tariffs on china. sounds like the news is trickling on that. >> it is. we have a conference call in 25 minutes or so. the president has sanctions on $35 billion of chinese good. another 16 about to take effect. the president also has another tranche of $200 billion after

that and $300 billion after that. basically the entire u.s. trade relationship with china. initially on the next tranche of $200 billion, the president was thinking about levying attacks of 10%. this afternoon we're going to learn that the president is going to up that to 25%. the belief here among his trading economic team that china continues to be a bad actor when it comes to trade and they need very strong influence, if you will, to try to get china to change its ways. listen to what sarah huckabee sanders. >> the president has made some head way the e.u. in terms of lowering trade barriers, taking steps towards levelling the playing field. does the president and his team believe that is possible with china without taking some real punitive measures? >> we'd like to see the playing field levelled. the president as both he and i think about 15 members of his administration have said

repeatedly, we'd like to see the unfair trade practices stop. until that happens, the president will hold their feet to the fire and put pressure on china and he's not going to allow american industries and american workers to be taken advantage of. >> so here's the calculation that the white house is making. the united states buys about $500 billion, maybe more than that of goods from china every year. china buys $130 billion of american goods. if it comes for a tit for tat war, the u.s. believes they can last longer. $130 billion on the chinese side versus $500 billion on the u.s. side, the calculation, shep, is that they have more bullets to fight a trade war than china does. shep? >> shepard: thanks, john. the white house echoed the president's false tweets claiming the dossier is the reason for the russian

investigation. we'll explain the facts. here's what sarah sanders said just a short time ago. >> the entire investigation is based off of a dirty discredited dossier. >> shepard: here's what president trump tweeted on sunday. there's no collusion. the robert mueller rigged witch hunt headed by 17 increasing from 13, including an angry democrat, was started by a fraudulent dossier, paid for by crooked hillary and the dnc. therefore the witch hunt is an illegal scam. in the main and in its parts, that statement is patently false. according to the republican majority on the house intelligence committee, the feds started the russia investigation in july of 2016 after george papadopoulos told australian diplomat that the russians had dirt on hillary clinton. the diplomat gave that information to the fbi. while the u.s. intelligence community has not confirmed parts of the dossier, there are

elements of it that are confirmed true. no part of it to fox news knowledge has been confirmed false. the special counsel, robert mueller, is a registered republican. the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein who appointed mueller is also a republican. attorney general jeff sessions who swore in rosenstein is also a republican. president trump, a republican appointed sessions. the dossier is 35 pages of research memos. christopher steele wrote it. he's a former british intelligence agent. a research firm called fusion gps compiled the memos. they allege conspiracy between the trump campaign and the russian government to help mr. trump win the election over hillary clinton. republicans supporting marco rubio hired the research firm. when mr. trump won the nomination, the group stopped funding the research and the clinton campaign took it over. in virginia outside d.c., it's

day two of the criminal trial of the president's former campaign manager, paul manafort. it's the first trial resulting from robert mueller's investigation. today we learned the government's star witness may not testify. prosecutors are describing paul manafort as the mastermind behind a multimillion dollar scheme to evade taxing and banking laws. the judge said manafort's lavish lifestyle is not on trial. he blocked mueller's team from showing the jury pictures of a closet full of clothes. the prosecutor said manafort dropped $15,000 on a jacket made of ostrich skin. rick gates pleaded guilty in the mueller investigation and has been cooperating in the federal

government in its investigation. he was expected to testify against his old boss but prosecutors say that may not happen. paul manafort faces more than a dozen charges including bank fraud, tax evasion and conspiracy. he's pleaded not guilty. these charged are connected to the rob -- lobbying he did in ukraine. president trump has repeatedly said there was no collusion. peter doocy is live at the courthouse. peter? >> shep, the photos the mueller team wanted to show today of paul manafort's $7,500 cashmere suit or $9,500 cream trousers were taken in the fbi raid. the court's seizing agent was on the stand. he testified that when agents showed up unannounced, they knocked, waiting 30 seconds and repeated that three times. nobody answered.

at which point they used a key to get in. the fbi agent would not say where the key to manafort's condo came from. that account from the fbi does dispute earlier accounts there was no a no-knock raid because they say that they did knock but it had no impact. however under cross examination, the fbi agent said he's not surprised. nobody came to the door at 6:00 a.m. but what the special counsel is doing, demonstrating that they don't want to use a paper trail, computer files, paper files of transactions that were seized that show that manafort was spending a lot of money they allege from the hidden accounts from international wire transfers. they want jurors to see the actual physical high-dollar clothing that manafort was allegedly using this money for. the judge said that it might be prejudicial to present photos in addition to the transfers and he stress add again today like yesterday, it's not illegal to

be really rich and throw money around, shep. >> shepard: why doesn't the judge want the mueller team to use the word "oligarch" in the trial? >> the judge thinks that oligarch has a pajorative meaning. so he thinks that if the mueller team will describe the people that manafort was doing business with in the ukraine as oligarchs, it might be prejudicial again. he said these are people that finance campaigns like the judge said the koch brothers as opposed to criminals. when the judge give instructions like that to the defense or mueller team, he asks the jury to leave the room so the six men and six women from virginia that decide his fate are not there to see the judge pushing back. >> shepard: peter doocy, thank you. dozens of troops killed in the korean war could be making the journey home.

remains. the caskets set to arrive in hawaii hours from now. the north koreans included a single dog tag, no other information. it could take months if not years to identify the remains. dan springer live in honolulu where the vice president mike pence will be on hand for a ceremony to mark the arrival of the remains. hello, dan. >> this is a big deal to many americans, including vice president pence whose son is in the marine corps now and his father was a korean war hero. he fought in the war and honored with a bronze star. this is important today to anyone who has wore the uniform. it shows how far the u.s. government will go to bring its war dead home. we had the pleasure to meet a bunch of veterans. they get together every tuesday and been doing it the last 20 years. ten of them will take part in

the ceremony as part of the honor guard. among them, herb shriner. his younger brother, alan, killed in the war. his body did come home. however, more than 7,600 did not. >> i know how it feels to have somebody that lost their lives for freedom to come home. i feel it. i feel bad for those that cannot identify to receive their dead or brothers when they come home. >> today's ceremony will take place in about four hours from now. about a mile away from where we are. then they'll be brought back here, the remains brought back to this building behind me. this is where the real work will begin. this is where the defense powmia accounting agency or dpaa, will get to work to try to identify the remains of those brought home. they're the best of the best in

the world doing that. since they have one dog tag, they will use a lot of science including dna. dna has been used to identify positively about 60% of the cases. it's a painstaking process that the people that do this know matters. >> one of the few countries in the world that spends this efforts and time and money to bring closure to our military families. each one of those families has been made a promise by the u.s. military to come home. we're the end of that promise. >> the dpaa has many sets of remains in their building here all the way back to world war ii and they will get through the work of trying to identify the new 55 boxes. the 55 boxes may contain perhaps hundreds of individual service members killed in the korean war. shep? >> shepard: dan springer,

thanks. lawmakers apparently trying to send a message to president trump. congress can get things done. in the last hour, the senate wrapped up a frenzy of budget votes after the president threatened to shut down over spending. we'll give you details coming up on the fox news deck this wednesday afternoon. with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, are you okay? even when i was there, i never knew when my symptoms would keep us apart. so i talked to my doctor about humira. i learned humira can help get, and keep uc under control when other medications haven't worked well enough. and it helps people achieve control that lasts. so you can experience few or no symptoms. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common,

and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. be there for you, and them. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, control is possible.

this border wall. in the 7 of 12 bills, none of which address the homeland security spending bill, which is where the wall money would reside. they passed 7 of 12. the president threatened in march to not approve another big bill like they did back then. the omnibus. what they're doing, taking a volkswagen approach here, the mini buses where they put a batch of three bills together. one group, legislative branch, the v.a. the bill they passed today, 98-6 with the department of energy and the interior department. agricultural spending. so what they're doing is doing the mini buses. they're not going to get to that homeland security bill until later. this is the gop message. we're going to work in august. we get the spending bills done. the problem is the president is tramping on their message which leaves chuck schumer very upset.

>> we're working in a remarkably smooth bipartisan way. we hope that is a predent of things to come. we hope to work together and not let outside forces mess that up, not to mention any names. >> our immigration system is completely broken and he's begging and has been for can congress, particularly democrats, to step up and do their jobs, stop kicking the ball down the field and work with him to fix our system. it's that simple. >> again, this was the approach by senate republicans to work and try to pass some of these bills in good faith to show the president that they were passing these pieces of legislation and still he's stepping on their message. when the president talks about a government shut down, i remember talking to a republican congressman some years ago, the tactics of forcing a government shut down to get your way. trying to force a government shut down for political games is like trying to break dance

around nitroglycerin. >> shepard: are republicans expressing concern about this talk of a government shut down? >> absolutely. i talked to richard shelby yesterday from alabama. he called the president's approach mind boggling. this would seem to affect house republicans more significantly. there's 40 plus open seats there. if you have a government shut down before the mid-terms, that's a problem. might not affect the senate as much because the field favors democrats over republicans. a lot of folks said we had a government shut down in 2013, 2014 in the mid-terms. we won the most seats in the house. we seized back control of the senate there. what is the problem? the difference is doing this before the mid-terms what in a government shut down happens just as they're trying to confirmed brett kavanaugh to the court? two ways you can read this. you have a shut down and they

have stepped on the message again. maybe he's not confirmed by october 1. mitch mcconnell said that could drift into october and sets it back a couple weeks. they're playing with fire here with a potential government shut down, especially as it pertains to brett kavanaugh. >> shepard: chad, you're the man. thank you. coming up, the family of a missing college student molly tibbets speaking to fox news. we'll hear from her boyfriend and what he has to say about how he's been demonized since she's disappeared. flames on a plane never good. what started a fire on a packed passenger jet next. ♪motorcycle revving ♪ motorcycle revving ♪motorcycle revving ♪ motorcycle revving ♪ no matter who rides point,

us about her life and things that he believes we should know. >> i've been telling people, you know, the genius of molly was her ability to make everything about other people, to be generally honest and asking questions. maybe not talking aboutherself, that's what really endeared her to have everyone in the community. >> molly's boyfriend, dalton jack, also talked to fox ne. molly had been staying there at his home to wat the dogs when acco the stement. police the laste anydy saw her that we know of was during the run. dalton, the boyfriend, says his family is not worried about molly worried about him as well. >> i've extremely worried about me and, you know, the way the public is, yow, demonized me a little bit. evybody is thinkingbo me after this is all over and she's

back safe. >> shepard: we're focusing on her. po theave gotte more than 200 leads about where molly might be and the police have thanked the news media for their efforts to publicize this. hi, eric. >> molly tibbets is 20 years old and vanished near brooklyn, iowa. an hour east of des moines. a heart breaking story. a student at the university of iowa. last seen jogging at night. she lived at her boyfriend's house for the summer. she's an avid jogger and regularly ran 40 minutes a day. law enforcement ruled out anything by her boyfriend, dalton jacks. he was in dubuque at the time that molly was said to disappear. they were scheduled to be in the dominican republic. they were high school sweet hearts. his family says any suspicions about him are wrong. >> i don't want to go racking it

through my brain thing what happened, what happened. just driving myself insane. i know everybody else around here is. you have to lead by example. i love you and i miss you and i want you to come home. >> it's heart breaking to go through what he and the family has been going through. >> shepard: tell us more about the search. >> the search is continuing and going on ever since she first vanished. friends and neighbors and others have gathered. they've been going through corn fields and big farms. volunteers and the number has been growing. molly's family hoping for any information that can help bring her back. authorities say her disappearance and their words are "not consistent with her past." >> everyone knows everyone. everyone talks to everyone. you can't do anything there without someone seeing it. so we need to get that person or persons to come forward with that information so we're getting the message out. the bottom line is, somebody

knows something. >> who is that somebody? molly's father says no amount of information is too small that people should come forward to police. >> shepard: thanks, eric shawn. wild fire alert. crews are trying to get a handle on one of the most destructive fires in california history. the fire in the northern part of the state has destroyed 1,000 homes. it happened around the city of redding. it's forcing nearly 40,000 people to leave their homes. the fires killed at least six people so far and just one of more than a dozen big fires burning in california right now. the fox business network's hillary vaughn is live in redding. hillary? >> shepard, some of the 32,000 evacuees are waiting to get back in their neighborhoods. there's pockets of devastation that look like this behind me where the houses are completely

levelled. you may see a chimney a door frame. everything else ash. homes are a shell of the home still exists. there may be valuables inside. cal fire posted signs to prevent residents sifting through what valuables may be left behind. there's some hunting trophies that sur 5ed the fire. there's some sets of tools. again, residents completely blocked from going inside. the culprit behind this devastation is the carr fire, the sixth most damaging fire in california history. i went to the fire line to get a look. here's what i saw i. >> what you see burning behind me is the carr fire. it's the sixth most destructive in california history. it's 35% con taped. it all started by a car breaking

down on the side of the road. engine fire, setting up sparks and igniting what is called a monster. it's so erratic and volatile. firefighters are having a hard time beating back the flames. it's killed six people, including two firefighters and it's wiped out entire neighborhoods and whipped up a fire tornado that terrorized the community of redding. >> shepard, that smoke that you saw hit any face is the wind changing directions erratically. that's what's causing these firefighters a lot of challenges. overall, the state has spent $119 million just on fire suppression. not the cost of the two structures that has been lost. that's almost a quarter of the fire budget and we're a month into the budget. shepard? >> shepard: thanks, hillary. a priest on board a plane that crashed in mexico says the weather was so bad, he thought the pilot might call off the flight. that's what he told one of the

producers on this program. the aero mexico flight crashed at take off during a storm of hail, rain and strong winds and every person on board survived. it happened in durango state, about 500 miles north and west of mexico city. the priest says he broke his arm but is okay and is calling the outcome a miracle. the governor there says all 99 passengers and four crew made it out alive. the pilot was seriously hurt. some images for you in the slide show this afternoon. the pictures are incredible. i was looking at this on my phone. like how in the world did everybody survive this thing? red cross workers here carrying somebody on a stretcher. airline workers are walking away from the burning wreckage. rescuers took dozens to the possible mostly with minor injuries. firefighters rushed to the scene. the plane crashed in a field near the airport. experts say they're not

surprised everybody survived. they say airports are designed with fields around them in case something like this happened. it certainly looks like it broke in half and there's a fire. so i don't know. here's some passengers walking through that field to red cross workers that got to the scene quickly, we're told. analysts say companies are making planes with new improvements to make survival more likely. they've made seats stronger and now use less flammable material. here's smoke billowing in the sky as passengers walked away. anita vogel with more. an amazing story. >> yeah. eye witnesses say they saw the plane dropping rapidly from the sky. you can imagine the panic all the way around. as you mentioned, weather reports indicated is severe scattered storms. the governor of durango says the

plane was hit by a sudden gust of wind that caused a sudden descent. the wing hit the ground and two engines came off. the aircraft made an emergency landing. air 5 people suffered injuries. 49 people were taken to the hospital. there was fire and a lot of smoke, but people managed to get out anyway they could. i'll read one of the spanish translations here. a passenger said a hole opened behind us. i unbuckled my son's seat belt and got out that way. we jumped. the back was full of smoke and more people were trapped. that's an eye witness account from one passenger. apparently the pilot was the most seriously injured person requiring a surgery. even he is expected to recover. as far as the safety record of this airline, aero mexico, its last deadly accident was in 1981

when 32 people were killed when one of the planes crashed on landing. the president of the airline said the president was in perfect condition and had just had maintenance in february. even though it seems like weather was to blame here, mexican aviations said it will actually take months to know the exact cause of the crash. nonetheless though, shepard, a lot of very lucky people on board. back to you. >> shepard: a big change in healthcare could mean cheaper insurance for you. critics are warning you get what you pay for. the details coming up.

>> shepard: you'll soon have more options that may be cheaper than the affordable care act or obamacare. the plans have limitations. kristina partsinevelos joins us live now.

hi, kristina. >> you're right, she's are short term policies that have been around awhile. you can have them for a year and then you can renew them every year for up to three years. so it sounds great. an alternative for the affordable care act, president trump said he wants to provide a cheaper option to the affordable care act. but there are some differences. there are differences. what are you getting with the short term policy? that does not cover a lot of aspects that the affordable care act covers like mental health, prescription drugs. you can't automatically get it every year. you have to apply for it. you can't apply for federal subsidies. if you're sick or any pre-existing medical conditions, then you may most likely will not be eligible for the short term plan. it could be costly and should you become sick when you're on the plan.

apple makes the phone in china and sells them in america. so far they've been unaffected by the tariffs. but they're looking closely. if we have the 25% of $200 billion of goods, apple could be caught up and you'll have to pay more. tim cook saying the tariffs are taxed on the consumer. they have to pay the tariffs, this will lower economic growth. that's not good for america. >> shepard: john roberts was talking about how the president believes we have more bullets than china in a trade war but that comes from the dollars of people's wallets. everything cost more. susan lee, nice to have you in. >> thank you. >> shepard: people in california could vote in november on a plan to breakaway from the united states and create their own country. insert your joke here. now supporters are adding a new twist. a buffer zone between the new nation and what they call donald

california, not even they secede, all federal lands in california from the southern border of mexico to oregon will be given to native americans creating what organizers call the first autonomous native american native in california. "why not do something wrong to right the native americans and give them back their land." and claims "it will have a minute mammal -- minimal impact on california." and now louis marinelli and his supporters have until october to gather signatures of registered voters to put the proposal up for a vote, shep. >> shepard: there's politics

involved here. >> yes, surprise surprise. certainly in the eyes of number of calixax, the plan would create a "buffer zone" between donald trump's america and the new independent california republic. most of the federal land being handed over to native americans under this proposal would be on what might be considered the more conservative leaning section of california. and marinelli disagreed saying our campaign is not motivated by the political power in washington. we're motivated by the fact that california is a distinct society with the capability to govern itself. this campaign is different than the proposal to split california into three, which was blocked by the california supreme court, which said it was to different to be dealt with in a ballot

initiative. that could be a ball sign for the cal exit proposal. the president says we'll see what happens. >> shepard: we shall see. top of the hour headlines minutes away. gas, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea
