leland: we begin a new hour of coverage with fast moving developments on the mueller report. william barr has a lot of reading to do. we're told that the release of the principal conclusions of the investigation now expected within the next 24 hours. they would come in the form of a letter to congress. and a justice department official source telling fox news a short time ago that lawmakers will not be receiving that letter today. this as the attorney general is facing bipartisan calls to release the full report that has loomed so heavily over the nation 's capital and our politics, completely for all americans to see. welcome to a new hour of
11:01 am
america's news headquarters many i'm eric shawn. arthel: i'm arthel neville. the battle will soon shift to cap toll hill. both sides set to fight over the report's findings, even as democrats and republicans demand that attorney general barr make the full report public. all of this unfolding as the president spends his weekend in mar-a-lago. eric:.eric: john roberts standy on the north lawn of the white house with reaction. peter doocy is live on capitol hill. the letter may not come today, perhaps by tomorrow morning. >> reporter: right now, the only thing the democratic lawmakers know about the mueller report is that nobody from the trump campaign is going to be indicted for colluding were the kremlin to throw an election. now, these lawmakers who for years have been urging americans to trust robert mueller and let his investigation play out are scratching their heads.
11:02 am
>> it is well-known that the department of justice has a policy that you cannot indict a sitting president. so it's possible that mueller concluded there was no evidence to justify any legal action against the president or his core advisers who are not indicted. or he could have concluded that there was nothing there that was strong enough to l cal challengt policy. >> reporter: democratic lawmakers say if they're not granted access to all the evidence and all the interview transcripts that the mueller team reviewed, then they're going to ask mueller to break a years long silence and testify on capitol hill. some republicans are saying they think it would be a good idea to have mueller come and walk the world through his work but for a different reason. >> if mr. mueller can add to that by coming before the committee, i would invite that. although i don't think we're going to learn anything new and we're certainly not going to
11:03 am
learn anything dramatic by having him appear before us. >> reporter: democrats have tried to use the mueller investigation, looking ahead to the mueller report, for years, for their own political gain and an hour from right now committee chairs and democratic leadership are of hosting what nancy pelosi is calling an emergency conference call to talk about the report now that they know a little bit about what's in it or at least a little bit about what's not in it. a eric? eric: peter, we still wait for that report. thank you. arthel: the white house is also waiting for more details from the mueller report. white house press secretary sarah sanders releasing a statement saying the administration has not been briefed on any findings yet and that the next step will all depend on attorney general william b a arr. chief white house correspondent john roberts is live from the north lawn at the white house with more. hi, john. >> reporter: good afternoon to you. that statement from yesterday afternoon and that's the last
11:04 am
thing the white house had to say about all this as we are an anxiously anticipated what might come out of the justice department. i think the president has a better idea. he went and played a round of golf this morning, rather than waiting for the report to come out. as peter doocy was mentioning a second ago, as well as eric, it's likely going to be tomorrow at the earliest that we're going to see the principal conclusions of that report, let alonnie of the facts behind the case. william barr was up early this morning, leaving his home in virginia for the justice department where he's been spending the day reviewing the report. there you see him coming out of the house there. and he will meticulously go through this and likely have to communicate with the white house counsel and emmett flood who is the president's point person on the mueller investigation on the summary in the event that there
11:05 am
is some material in there that might come under the purview of executive privilege. and only the president himself, remember, can waive executive privilege. so again, we don't know what is going on at the department of justice, only that we're likely not going to learn today what the top line findings of the mueller report are. the president himself taking comfort from the fact that mueller said there will be no more indictments. last night, the president hosted a big party at mar-a-lago. there you see him getting on air force one for -- it was a lincoln day dinner. pam bondy, the attorney general of florida was there as well as lindsey graham and the president seemingly unphased as he stood before the crowd and made some jokes. listen here. >> i said if lindsey's speaking, i want to come down and hear him. [ cheering and applause ] >> for two reasons. number one, he's a great speaker. and number two, i know if i'm
11:06 am
here he's not going to say anything bad about me? as you can see, even though the mueller report had dropped hours earlier, the president in a good mood last night at mar-a-lago. robert mueller himself managed to get out and about earlier today. we have video of him in georgetown, going for a walk with his wife. there you su see him with his baseball cap on. the figure fight now is going to be between the white house and congress here. peter doocy alluded to this a while ago. over getting the entire report released and maybe even going to the investigative materials because the report and the investigative materials are going to be full of grand jury testimony, confidential, classified information, and likely a lot of material that falls under the purview of executive privilege as well. even though robert mueller is stepping down from his position from the office of the special counsel l sell, arthel, this
11:07 am
ain't over for a long time. arthel: you'll be standing in that spot for many years to come. we hope so, john roberts, thank you. take care. eric: getting to mr. mueller's long-awaited final report, it's been quite a roller coaster ride. the investigation started on ma. that's when deputy attorney general rod rosenstein a appointed mueller as special counsel. and of course it wrapped up yesterday with delivery of that report to attorney general william barr. the total time, one year, 10 months, six days. and it's been a major series of heaheadlines throughout the whoe way. lauren blanchard is in washington and takes a look back. >> reporter: attorney general barr is reading the report and the doj today, the almost two-year-long investigation did end spread without any new criminal charges and a senior doj source tells fox mueller is not recommending any further indictments. that those be a sigh of relief
11:08 am
for the president's son, donald trump junior, and son-in-law, jared kushner. there was speculation of wrong-doing. >> what the country was led to understand is there's a serious question was there collusion between the twu trump campaign d russian interest. now we have at least no indictments. we'll see was there information and the like. but there's one really key thing that seems to me people should feel very good about. they should. whether they will or not is their business. >> reporter: over the span of the investigation there have been 37 indictments, none have been for collusion. 34 people have been charged and more than two dozen russians were indicted on charges related to l election interference. members of the president's 2016 campaign were involved in the special counsel's investigation. five former aides have pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate with mueller's team and we're waiting for roger stone's trial
11:09 am
later this year. while the mueller investigation has ended without any public charges of collusion or obstruction, we're not sure yet of the special counsel's principal conclusions, something the attorney general may release later today. of course, democrats and many republicans are calling for the full release of the report but we just won't know until attorney general barr finishes reading and makes his decision. in washington, lauren blanchard, fox news. eric: as we're waiting for that report, we will stay tuned. .arthel: we're going to bring n gentlemajamele jaffer. good to have you here today. big day. and as we await the release, what do principal conclusions tell us and how he detailed do you expect attorney general barr's presentation of mr. mueller's principal conclusions to be?
11:10 am
>> it's a great he question, arthel. we know they're taking an extra day. they're going to goat i get it e likely tomorrow. it could be the executive summary of the report, could be as little as two, three pages, depends how big the r report is. it may hit the high points of what bob mueller found during the investigation. that's the primary thing that will be sent up there today. it won't be made public. it will just go to the hill. arthel: i got the point that the principal conclusions won't be made public right away. it's going to go to the hill, and then goes to us. overall, what do you think special counsel mueller will spell out in his report overall speaking and do you think that he has handed down his most prosecuteable a analysis or findings to the southern district new york? >> that's a hard question, the southern district of new york. we know he's issued over three dozen indictments against
11:11 am
various individuals from russian intelligence officers, 13 russian pra operatives and six advisers to the president. there are people around the president that have been indicted as part of the investigation. what's also important is in will be no further indictments coming out of this l. what means is, he didn't find anybody else he wanted to prosecute with respect to russian collusion or effects on the campaign. there are other investigations going on in the southern district of new york including investigation on the trump organization. the president is not scott-free. with respect to the mueller report as least, we know what bob mueller thinks is indictable. one last point. a lot of people discuss whether the president will be indicted. there's a long-standing practice of not indicting a president while he's sitting. we don't think bob mueller identified something where he wants to go down that road. he never interviewed the president even though he talked about potentially doing that.
11:12 am
arthel: that is an important note to make there. what will the congressional committees be on the lookout for once they get a report and do you a anticipate any congressional subpoenas to follow. if so, who might be summoned or what information might be requested? >> i think there's no doubt there will be follow-on congressional investigations. congress won't be satisfied with what bob mueller has done in the sense that they're going to take the view there's more to be found here. they're going to ask probably for the evidence underlying the mueller investigation. that's going to be a huge fight between the justice department and the hill. they're probably going to -- you already hear the chairman of the house intelligence committee saying he plans on issuing subpoenas or at least he's going to consider it. he's been up in new hampshire. he's thinking about running for president. we'll see how this plays out in the next few weeks and months. i think we'll see substantial portions of the report released either in public or frankly leaked by members of congress
11:13 am
and their staffs on the hill once the thing starts getting out, that the justice department it's likely to get -- the word of it is likely to get out quickly. arthel: thank you. we'll talk to you again soon. eric: there's a lot of other news to report this saturday. taking a look at the 2020 presidential race. new democratic contenders are out on the campaign trail today. several are a no-show. they're skipping apax conference after the left wing group moveon.org called on them to boycott the report. president trump addressed the committee in 2016. he is criticizing the democratic candidates' decision for giving the group a cold shoulder. >> the democrats have very much proven to be anti-israel. there's no question about that. it's a disgrace. i don't know what's happened to them but they are totally anti-israel. frankly, i think they're
11:14 am
anti-jewish. eric: those are very couldn't veecontroversial comments. let's start with what the president said. what's your reaction? the democratic party, democratic politicians have clearly stood by israel and still do and many prominent members of the party from the senate and the house will be attending the event but not the presidential candidates it seems. >> hi, eric. first of all, thanks for having me. look the u.s./israel relationship is both a u.s. interest and an american value, traditionally for decades it's been a bu bipartisan issue. today, it's difficult to preserve bipartisan matters in all areas including the u.s./israel relationship. but after all we are seeing the attendance in the conference of the leaders, both of the democrats and the republicans are going to show up, so while there are some troubling voices
11:15 am
in the fringes, i still think the u.s./israel relationship is strongly supported by the u.s., both political system and mainly and probably most importantly by the american people. eric: you say the voices in the fringes. what concerns you? >> look, traditionally, as far as i recall the presidential p candidates are only invited to speak at the conference in the runup, in the last year before telexes. hopefullthe elections. we are seeing some fundamentals of basic u.s. values and basic u.s. policies are being questioned by voices in the fringe of american politics. the very idea of the u.s./israel relationship is strongly founded in american l values of promoting freedom and democracy. america is the globa global basf
11:16 am
freedom and israel is protecting freedom and democracy in the middle east and preventing and blocking the advance of rad coul forces such as iran and other radicals. the fundamentals of the relationship are just as valid. there's no reason to question them. but we're seeing that in todays era of politics that are going mucmuch more to the extremes, we hearing such voices. hopefully it will not gain any momentum in the center ground of american politics and most importantly public opinion. eric: the president has been seen as one of the stronger supporters of israel, moving the embassy to jerusalem for example. some are criticizing that, saying he's going too far. but the prime minister, ne netanyahu, will be at the white house this week. what do you expect of that meeting and do you think it's political because the prime minister, who is under the
11:17 am
corruption investigation, he faces a re-election. >> differentiating between the elections and the decision on the golan heights. they've been under israeli control for more than 50 years. it's longer than the syrians held onthe golan. the syrians are a murderous regime, is housing radical forces like hezbollah and iran and using syria as a launching pad to promote their causes. the golan has strategic value. it's populated thinly by a jewish population that is interested in being part of israel. i think the substantive decision of recognizing israel, holding onto the golan is a sensible decision. it represents by the way a broad consensus within israel, not only is prime minister netanyahu here in washington, but benny
11:18 am
gonn, both are in support of this decision. perhaps the only element that affects israeli politics with respect to this decision is the timing because we're less than two weeks before the election. eric: certainly will be a topic of the meeting between the prime minister and the president at the white house. thank you for your insight. we'll see if the presidential candidates show up at the meeting next year. arthel: it's the end of the mueller report but it's not the end of the investigation surrounding president trump. why his potential legal troubles could be far from over. that's up next. i switched to liberty mutual, because they let me customize my insurance. and as a fitness junkie, i customize everything, like my bike, and my calves. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

11:23 am
federal and state prosecutors who are pursuing many investigations, some inspired by robert mueller's case, against michael cohen. jacqui heinrich has more from new york. >> reporter: right now, there are at least six entities linked to president trump under investigation. we broke them down by jurisdiction. in the southern district of new york investigators are looking into hush money payments michael cohen paid to adult actresses and the extent of the president's involvement. also trump's inaugural committee and possible illegal donations from foreign nationals and two cases stemming from the president's former campaign chairman, paul manafort. the hush money and inaugural committee cases stem from michael cohen's testimony in the mueller probe. >> the southern district of new york in the indictment of michael cohen has named president trump as an unindicted co-conspirator, individual number one. he is a criminal in their eyes. he participated in the conspiracy.
11:24 am
members of his family may have as well. there is almost no aspect of trump world not under investigation right now. >> reporter: new york state is also investigating the trump foundation, the trump organization, the president and his family, specifically whether they took advantage of the foundation's tax exempt status and used it to help the campaign. attorney general's also investigating whether the trump organization inflated assets to get more favorable loan terms. there's a lawsuit from former apprentice contestant who alleges sexual assault. she is suing defamation. there are more than a done estate and federal investigations that grew out of the mueller probe. arthel: thank you very much, eric: we've got breaking news. the u.s. led coalition liberating the last isis stronghold from the radical islamic terrorist organization. we'll have details on the needed victory against those terrorists, next.
11:25 am
plus, attorney general william barr is in his office with what could be hundreds of pages of the mueller report. his conclusions will soon be released, as law makesers from both parties are calling for the whole thing to come out. will we see it? what will it say? our live coverage continues after this break. alright, i brought in ensure max protein... to give you the protein you need with less of the sugar you don't.

so in this commercial we see two travelers at a comfort inn with a glow around them, so people watching will be like, "wow, maybe i'll glow too if i book direct at choicehotels.com". who glows? just say, badda book. badda boom. nobody glows. he gets it. always the lowest price, guaranteed. book now at choicehotels.com eric: all eyes on attorney general william barr. we're told he's in his office, potentially with rod rosenstein and they are thumbing through the mueller report to determine how much of it they will share with congress, and that means us, the public. justice department source says the attorney general will not be sending that letter to lawmakers today but potentially we can expect it by tomorrow. david spud is outside the justice department with the latest. hi, david. >> reporter: hi, eric. when william barr took over as attorney general earlier this year, one of the big things he
11:30 am
promised at first was he would be as transparent as possible when it comes to the mueller report. of course other things too, but specifically the mueller report. he was asked repeated by by members of congress. we thought it might happen in the next few hours that barr would let congress know some of the key bullet points of the report. that is not happening. we know it could be tomorrow. he left his home late this morning en route to the justice department. he arrived here late this morning. he and a small handful of aids s have been reading through the report. it's not been circulated around the entire department. doj officials want to make sure they keep it as close to the vest as possible, want to make sure no classified information comes out before it's released the member burnmembers of congr. robert mueller has been deliberate since he took over the investigation to keep this thing from leaking to the public. many would say he's done a great job. we don't know exactly what's in the report. >> republicans and democrats
11:31 am
should not get over the tips of their skis either way. we don't know what is in this report. it's a war and peace, a lot of pages. we don't know if there are exoneration of individuals including the president. >> reporter: now comes the important task to decide what can be released to congress and what can be released to the public. there's always that catch that parts of this report may be held back because they're classified or it could be a risk to national security. however, eric, it's incredibly important to point out with this case that we found out from a senior doj official yesterday, we were able to report that there are no more indictments in this case at all, no more indictment expected in this mueller probe. again, attorney general william barr behind me with his deputy rod rosenstein, waiting to turn over these pages to members of congress who are eagerly
11:32 am
awaiting it. eric: the members of congress voted to let all of us see it and the president endorsed that as well. arthel: president trump is in south florida, waiting the release of the mueller report's findings. garrett tenney is live in west palm beach, florida, near the president's resort. the president is remarkably silent today. >> reporter: arthel, we actually just received president trump's first statement since the mueller report was submitted. however, it has nothing to do with the special counsel. it was about the defeat of isis. still, no public reaction from the president to this report. however, we are told that he is in a good mood today. he spent the morning playing golf at trump international. he returned to mar-a-lago a short time ago. he is not expected to weigh in on the mueller report until more details come out about exactly what it says. but his legal team is cautiously optimistic about it. last night the president's outside attorney, rudy giuliani,
11:33 am
told fox news, this marks the end of the russia investigation. we await a disclosure of the facts. we're confident there is no finding of collusion by the president and this underscores what the president has been saying from the beginning, that he has done nothing wrong. over the next few days it is possible that the white house attorneys could request to see mueller's report before it goes to congress to determine if there is any material there that might be covered under executive privilege and needs be redacted. top democrats are already crying foul over that possibility. it is not clear, though, if the president's outside legal team could also get a preview of that report. but this morning harvard law professor alan dershowitz that both sides should be be able to present their cases to the american people at the same time. >> basic fairness requires that. you don't send a report which is one sided over to your enemies in congress without having the subject of the report, have an opportunity to respond. the democratic members of congress don't want the
11:34 am
president to respond. >> reporter: the president's outside legal team has been working on its rebuttal to mueller's report for months now. however, we are told that they have not made a decision on whether or not they are going to publish their rebuttal because they are waiting to see exactly what the mueller report says before they decide whether or not to do that. arthel. arthel: garrett tenney, thank you very much. eric: we have a fox news alert from overseas. man, oh, man have we been waiting for this. u.s. backed forces in syria have announced victory over the islamic state after the lib graciouliberation of the last is stronghold there. there is a defeat of the self-proclaimed caliphate, something the president promised. we have a report from our london bureau. >> reporter: take stronghold you were talking about there, was just a little sliver of the city of bagos, just a little patch of
11:35 am
land. the u.s.'s allies in syria had been pounding it quite literally for weeks, while u.s. a aircraft coalition aircraft were bombing it from above. and yet the liberation of that little patch of land is a real achievement. at its height, the islamic state, i.s., held a third of iraq and syria. it was a state, a statelet, recognized by no one but with things like tax collections, schools and infamously real extraordinary penchant for cruelty and terrorism, not just syria and iraq, but around the world, including in europe where i am. that's now all gone, a band played the national anthem as fighters paraded a parade throul field, celebrating the victory and recognizing the 11,000 fighters who died taking the city and fighting i.s. over the last five years. the u.s. official in charge of
11:36 am
syria from the state department was on-site, reminding everyone the fight is not over just yet. >> while we have completed the e much work to do to achieve an enduring defeat of isis. >> reporter: of course there, are still some holdouts of the islamic state in remote places like in the desert in syria and some of the fighters will have slipped out of course and they'll be looking to continue their fight, not to mention there's always the threat of those sleeper cells. we've seen them very actively here in europe. so this isn't over yet as we heard from that official. eric. eric: we need to defeat radical islamic terrorist philosophy too. ryan, thank you. arthel: for more on this now let's bring in christian white yen, a senior advisor under president trump and president george w. bush. christian, this is certainly
11:37 am
good news and if you could start by explaining to us what does it mean that isis is eliminated and how do you -- in syria at least for sure. how do you define it? >> it's a big deal. it's a big accomplishment, very partisan times. we should take a little break as americans and celebrate a tremendous victory, pretty close to an unconditional victory. it doesn't mean that isis and everyone who at one point or another swears a allegiance has gone away, it means it's completely defeated as a political, economic, military force, a force that could hold land, collect taxes, minister a an area. that much is gone. that doesn't mean there won't be bitter enders, there's remnant forces. isis is comprised mainly of people who couldn't make it in al-qaida, the worst of the worst. they don't just exist in syria. they're also present in the southern philippines, another sigisis insurgency that was
11:38 am
defeated. not the end of jihadism or the islamic ideology but the defeat of a cruel and dangerous element. arthel: i'm getting a prees a s release here, saying the he coalition congratulates the forces, the elimination of the self proclaimed territorial caliphate in the river valley, syria as well. so to what ryan was reporting, does this mean that isis now will turn up the heat on their rhetoric and spreading their ideology? >> i think they'll certainly try and do that, since they are precluded from establishing a caliphate now. but there's a consequence to defeat. it's not just a military consequence, but an idea logical one. if you think to the time when there were a lot of jihadists, leaving to fight with isis in
11:39 am
syria, then it starts being pushed back first in the obama administration, then particularly under president trump who made this his top foreign policy priority who really changed the rules of engagement, freed u.s. forces and our allies to do what they needed to do and you see fewer isis attacks in europe and fewer recruits. the ideologies will also suffer from the military defeat but, again, these people probably aren't going to become good, classical liberal democrats, they're still going to be malevolent force. arthel: do they have what it takes to reforel o form or regrp somewhere else or will al-qaida or the taliban ramp up attacks. >> this will be a key problem. it's a key question for where we put u.s. troops or whether this ought to be the top national priority since it has been since 9/11, the counter jihadist,
11:40 am
counter insurgency mission. they are certainly still in afghanistan and syria, a lot of places where you have failed states and islamic ideology. of course they're a concern. the ability regroup and strike the united states is very limited. i think that leads the arresti a argument that we should shift away from this mission, simply because we have to choose national priorities and frankly china is now a bigger threat. arthel: why do you say that? >> i think it's a very powerful nation state. it has a large economy. it can afford essentially all of the technology and weapon systems that it can buy, who knows if they know how to fight with them. they haven't been in a war since their little war with vietnam or the korean war. but a very dangerous threat. and if you just look at the way things are going, china soon will have three, four aircraft carriers in the pacific. we only have about five to six, depending half of those are in port or on the west coast at any
11:41 am
given time. as far as a threat that can really harm or end the united states of america, it's not -- we have threats from iran. we have threats from is l islam. china is the one where we should focus our attention. arthel: they're telling me to wrap. i have to ask this. i haven't heard this. everybody focuses on china in terms of cyber war. but you're now saying that china has some military might that could threaten the u.s. >> yes. it's been a stunning military buildup, 10% growth in their military budget year after year after year as their economy slowed. a real blue water navy as they call it, not just something that's there for invading taiwan but for kicking the united states out of the western pacific which would have a huge negative impact on our economy and way of life. so it's an actual real pure military threat in addition to an economic, cyber and a political threat. arthel: which means china would love it if we were to pull our troops out of the dmz between
11:42 am
north and south korea? >> the 28,000 forces we have there is mainly a trip wire to deter north korea from a conventional invasion. i don't think china worries about them too much. if we were going to invade the asia mainland, which we should never do, you would have to add two zeros to the troops to make it an effective force. of course, our south korean allies and our japanese allies are the most important factors in deterring china. arthel: christian, thank you. eric: the battle over the mueller report is shifting to capitol hill. house democrats vow to continue their investigations. what will be their strategy moving forward? we will take a look next as our live coverage this weekend of the mueller investigation continues here on the fox news channel.

russians were interfering with the election process, with the media and the social media in this country, that it was only a political investigation? >> clearly, the russians are bad actors and they've been advancing information war fare western democracies for a long time. the original mandate of the mueller investigation was to determine whether or not there were american citizens complacent in that effort. can you imagine if the mueller report indicated there was in fact american p cooperation at the high test levels of the trump campaign or the president himself, where we would be. that would be devastating news to the country and the fact that that is not the news today, we should all be overjoyed. the democrats have never been concerned about that in rel at. ericreality.eric: do you agree? what do democrats talk about in the conference call, 2 minutes s

five people are going to prison. one person was convicted at trial. 37 people and entities were indicted. 199 criminal counts. the idea that anyone would fall into this witch hunt type of messaging that the president has been trying to promote is really unamerican and as we look ahead to how we protect our democracy, it is really important that these people start putting country over party. eric: and some would say obviously in response that the president has not been indicted or -- and there was no indictments, these are process crimes and lying as opposed to collusion or conspiracy and coordination with moscow. we'll get to that in a moment. we'll get to what's going on with the mueller report and how it will impact the democrats' race for the white house for 2020. our panel's not going anywhere. we'll be right back.
