that's it for today's show, thanks to my panel, thanks to all of you for watching. hope to see you right here next >> lawmakers on capitol hill hill gear up to question attorney general barr, testifying before two congressional panels this week starting on tuesday this as the justice department officials say they do hope mueller report in coming few days, hello, everyone, welcome to america's news headquarters. i'm eric sean. arthel: i'm arthel neville. demanding full report be released unredacted. acting chief of staff on fox news sunday criticizing the democrats' motive. >> our position is that mr. barr

run it is process because that's the way the law is and we are interested in following the law. this is not political show by the democrats because they don't like the fact -- arthel: garrett tenney live, hi, garrett. >> top democrats suggesting that attorney general william barr may be trying to protect the president by taking out damaging information from the mueller report before he did this congress, those concerns were heightened by reports that some of mueller's investigators felt the attorney general's letter to congress on the special counsel's bottom line finding painted the president's behavior in a more positive light than investigators actually found. today on face the nation, house judiciary chairman nadler argue that democrats need to see full report without any redactions along with underlying evidence to determine if the president committed any impeachable offenses. >> congress has the right for the entire report with no redactions whatsoever so we can see what's there.

we are hearing leaks from the mueller team that didn't leave office in 22 months. we are hearing los angeles that barr represented what was in letter and made it look more favorable for the president than it was. >> the fight for president trump's tax returns will also play on capitol hill this week, the irs commissioner is scheduled to testify on tuesday before a wednesday deadline. the chairman of the house ways means committee said last week agency to turn over 6 years worth of trump's personal and business tax returns, on "fox & friends" today gop senator john kennedy criticized democrats for trying to weponized the irs. >> chairman niel says that he needs to see the president's tax returns for policy, he says not politics, he says that he needs to see trump's tax returns so he can evaluate how well the irs is

conducting audits. now, if chairman niel believes that the american people themselves are going to actually believe that, then he's like a rock, only dumber. it -- it must ought to be that dumb. >> senator kenny always has a way with words. mick mulvaney also said that democrats will never see the president's tax returns and he argued voters don't care about it either because they elected president trump knowing that he wasn't going to be releasing returns, arthel. arthel: more to discuss on that later this hour. eric: today sunday morning futures on fox revealed that he has plans to send 8 criminal referrals to the justice department. those referrals about the origins of the russia investigation, this comes amid republican to release documents to try and uncover exactly how

the fbi investigation into suspicions of russia in the first place. >> first of all, all of these are classified or sensitive and so a lot of them are classified information. five of them are referrals, referrals that are -- that name someone and name specific crime. those crimes, leaking classified information. eric: reports say former trump michael could deal with more charges. arthel: addressing the republican jewish coalition in las vegas on thursday, yesterday. the president defending his plan to close the border if méxico does not get tough on

immigration. ellison barber has more now at the white house, hi, ellison. >> hi, arthel, a lot of back and forth on what exactly comes next when it comes to southern border, it's been confusing at times to follow what the president plans to do next. president trump started the week by starting to shut down the border despite both lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. if méxico does not do more to stop migrants probably impose tariffs on mexican products namely cars within the next year and if that didn't work, possibly close the borders, here white house chief of staff mick mulvaney explained it all on fox news sunday. >> a couple of different things he said this week, we need help right away on migrant crisis, we also have another longer-term issue with méxico on drugs. i think if you go back and look at statement, you know, we need help within the next year on

drugs. méxico has done more in the last week to help our illegal immigration crisis than nancy pelosi and democrats in the house. >> president trump claims méxico started to do more after he threatened to shut down the southern border despite what the president and other members of his administration are describing as méxico's current progress in helping out when it comes to the situation at the border, president trump says still, all options are on the table. >> i don't mind loazing the border, a lot of these fakeers back there, they say, he will never close the border, i don't want to do it but i'm okay with it. i will do whatever is necessary to stop invasion of our country, that's what it is. [applause] >> he is warning of traffic and commercial delays as administration imposes 750 immigration officers along southwest border to try help

border patrol officers with influx of migrants trying to come to the u.s. arthel: thank you very much, ellison barber. eric. eric: along the southern border custom patrol agents are pleading for more resources to handle the surge of illegal immigrants who continue to try to cross into the country. they said they have not to -- have to make many arrests in years. casey steigell live on the border in el paso, texas. hi, casey. >> hey, eric, yeah, this sector where we are in el paso which is pretty large, actually stretches off into parts of new mexico, believe it or not, it's been slammed and in particular with the larger groups of migrants largely from central america as you note showing up and turning themselves in seeking asylum but according to custom and border protection, as of last week more than 70,000 of those apprehensions have been made

within the last fiscal year '19, the beginning of it. that's compared to 9,000 from the year before, so 70,000 versus 9,000 and that is according to data from u.s. customs and border protection. there has also been uptick in unaccompanied minors, children by themselves, traveling by themselves and may have been taken in custody in large numbers, the agents themselves tell us that right there is probably the toughest to see. listen. >> it's hard not to take that stuff home especially to see kids that are sick, kids by themselves, seen a 2-year-old, seen a 4-year-old by themselves crossing the border with no parents. >> 4-year-olds by themselves, in the meantime over sections of the existing fence or barrier that was put up under the secure fence act are getting replaced with better materials upgraded

and certain vulnerable spots, you can see the video we shot of that happening, this is not new wall we should point out under president trump, again, infrastructure was already paid for and was already built. let's talk about detention space really quickly because with obviously surge in the number of apprehensions that means you have a surge in detention space as well and they are really tight with that in the el paso sector as well. in fact, overcapacity by about 280% according to dhs, the dhs secretary kristin nielsen toured facilities when he made stop in el paso last week and that was boots on the ground to get the latest update. eric. eric: thanks so much. arthel: u.s. trade negotiators saying they have made significant progress with china and both sides work to hammer out final deal that president trump says will be epic and he says he won't hold a summit with

chinese counterpart xi ginning ping until the deal is done. gillian turner has more from washington. gillian: china and the united states are set to continue those ongoing trade talks behind the scenes this coming week. the president's economic team getting a deal is top of their priority list. >> we have to have a great deal on trade with china. the deal that benefits american farmers, technology and so forth and hopefully a deal that will help china. that deal has to be enforceable, it has to cover all of the areas that are under discussion. >> senior american officials have been talking around the clock with chinese counterparts over the past few days, their top priorities are technology transfers, intellectual property protections, tariffs alternatives, services in agriculture and trade enforcement. the u.s. and china have raised tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars of import and the u.s. has accused china of unfair

trade practices and stealing america trade secrets. president trump china's critic to when he calls unethical trade practices, though, he too seems now all in on the idea of a deal. >> we very much want to make a deal. we will see what happens. very complex deal, very big deal. one of the biggest deals ever made. maybe one of the biggest deal ever made. it would be great deal for farmers, technology intellectual property theft, everything is covered. >> larry kudlow said friday that negotiators plan to be in touch by phone promising they'll be no let-up in the negotiations. meanwhile the stock market did take notice friday soaring to new record highs based on these trade hopes. in washington, gillian turner fox news. >> all right, gillian, thank you so much. eric. eric: meanwhile back here at home another delay in the summer travel season. american airlines announcing that it's extending

cancellations through june 5th, boeing 737 max jets on the routes, two fatal crashes have grounded the planes, will cut back production of 737 max jets starting this month. american has already canceled 95 to date, american has 24 oh the airliners. arthel: fires in historically black churches in louisiana, officials are now calling them suspicious. >> coincidence that they occurred in short period of time. everything is being done to the maximum of our ability. >> the latest on investigation ahead, plus president trump brushing off talk for summit and central america as he ramps up rhetoric on the border. next former white house national security adviser captain bop wells weighing in on how the president is handling this.

eric: after being shot multiple times, officials say it was late last night after approaching the driver who had taken off in a crash scene not far from u.s.-méxico border,

this happened in edenburg texas near mcallen. 24-year-old u.s. citizen from texas, he is in custody and now we are told under arrest, out of surgery but reremains in critical condition. >> mr. president, is it time to call for a summit between yourself the president of méxico, the president of honduras, guatemala and el salvador? >> i think we have done very well out the summit. >> so president trump rejecting the idea of talks with méxico in the northern triangle countries of central america over the migrant crisis at southern border. at least one prominent democrat assistant house ben ray lujan disagrees. >> the united states needs to be working again with méxico, with the northern triangle countries, i think the president threatening to shut down the southern border cut off the money from the northern trieningle which would only encourage more violence from the countries and encourage more people to flee out of fear for

their own lives. >> let's bring in bob wells, retired navy captain and former national security adviser to vice president dick cheney. what's your take, to meet or not meet? >> i think not meet, i think the president has really done a good job elevating this particular issue. i think if you look at what he's actually doing he's calling attention to border challenges for the homeland security, customs and border patrol, the conditions that the poor people have to live in, finally put méxico right in the center of where the solution needs to be. he has diplomatic discussions ds with president obrador from méxico and has strategy to get to the next step. i think it's a long-term challenge but it's got to be a national security solution. i think the president is leading

us there. >> so the u.s.-méxico relationship as you well know captain wells is codependent in various way and méxico's inability to manage migration and drug trafficking puts a strain on the relationship, so you start -- you sort of start to touch on it but what leverage should president trump employ that will really pressure méxico to get it together? >> well, i think he's already signaled that he's going to put the border leverage and the car leverage in terms of economic leverage, there's other leverage there which is all part of méxico's national identity, if you're looking at the problems, méxico has been challenged for the last decade to actually deal with the elicit networks that are bringing drugs and women and human trafficking to the united states border. that needs to be resolved in méxico's favor. méxico has resources, needs to have additional capabilities and capacities for law enforcement in order for them to succeed. they've bandage challenged

through 3 mexican presidents in order to deal with the particularly ungomped areas -- ungoverned areas, so working with méxico more closely, a little bit of imagination like we did possibly with colombia, president trump did it with merida initiative, question have obrador initiative in some place in méxico. not this time to have summit of all the americas, solving it, working with méxico first is a good first step. >> yeah, they are always -- they are always risks involved in whatever you -- whatever route you choose. should completely shutting down the southern border ever be a consideration? >> i don't think so. looking at trade relationship as you mention, arthel, double-edge sword. you can actually do more harm than good. supply chains have been involved with méxico since nafta treaty was passed.

we just had nafta treaty under discussion inside the congress, so we really need to think about the supply chains and looking at american business and don't impact our own economy, we need to think about that with regard to approach with méxico on the border. i wouldn't do it, i wouldn't recommend, but the president in his own style, in his own way communicating that this is a serious issue we are going to elevate it and turn the lights in the room and see where all the furniture is and that's what he's done with rhetoric and tweets and how he also leads putting the issue right front and center. >> should the u.s. continue giving aid to honduras, el salvador and guatemala? >> i think so. i'm a big supporter of diplomacy and also development to support helping build the partner capacities in nations. i've been part of that in national security in the bush administration, but i think if you're looking at what we are

trying to do with the development aid which build law enforcement capacity in honduras, guatemala and el salvador, we need to look at the political economy. also recall vice president biden going out and doing the same thing and advocating a billion dollars worth of aid in previous summit attempt with central american countries. it won't be solve but tough situation with the elicit trafficking networks, they are challenging the government authority and certain countries and in particular méxico with their transit passage to our border. arthel: i have to leave it there. we will have you back again and continue this discussion because it's certainly not going away as there really is a crisis that's continuing at our southern border thank you very much, captain. >> thank you, arthel. eric: attorney general william barr will testify, the democrats looking to ramp up pressure for him to release the full mueller

report, questions he's likely to face. 2020 democrats hitting primary states all this weekend. has got a lot of attention and not entered race. right there on the right, exploring a run. when would he make it official and what does he say after my dvt blood clot... ...i wondered, is another one around the corner.

or could it be different than i thought? i wanted to help protect myself. my doctor recommended eliquis. eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another dvt or pe blood clot... almost 98 percent of patients on eliquis didn't experience another. ...and eliquis has significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. eliquis is fda-approved and has both. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. what's around the corner could be surprising. ask your doctor about eliquis.

officially enter the race soon but when he does, he will join a crowded field of democratic hopefuls trying to stand out. many of them stumping early primary states this weekend. jackie has more now from new york city bureau. hey, jackie. >> hey, arthel, 14 democrats have announced bid so far, many hit campaign trail this weekend, the focus has been on former vice president joe biden who has not announced candidacy. on sad night live cast members roasted by allegations of 8 women, made them feel uncomfortable with unwanted physical contact. >> joe, it's about all the touchy, feely stuff. if you're going to run in 2020 you have to change the way you interact with women. >> i kiss her and i'm a little bit of a sniffer, okay. [laughter] >> but the last i ever want to do is offend anyone. >> bidden also taking heat for not directly apologizing, he instead said he would be more respectful of personal space and made light of the situation at

conference. >> i just want you to know, i had permission to hug lonnie. by the way he gave me permission to touch him. >> the other contenders is to pull themselves away from the pack and stand out in the field, ohio congressman tim ryan campaigned to ramp early primary states in iowa and new hampshire and got visit from bernie sanders, beto o'rourke, cory booker, meanwhile mayor pete buttigieg who is gay at the fund brunch. >> next time a reporter asks me if america is ready for a gay president, i trust my fellow americans. >> three other contenders are expected to jump in the race, arthel. arthel: thank you, jackie. eric: thank top story, attorney

general william barr expected to take tough questions on capitol hill this week which schedule today appear before two panels, testimony starting on tuesday, this comes as democrats are demanding the release of the full unredacted mueller report to congress, nothing blacked out, will they get it? mercedes, defense attorney, former prosecutor robert sclapp. he wants everything, nothing unredacted and if they don't get them they will subpoena them, will they get it? >> i don't think so. as of right now there's no judicial subpoena present that would require the grand jury minutes to be turned over. the grand jury is the most important aspect of it. it is the very basic principles of the criminal justice system and it is protected and private, you are given immunity, cooperating witnesses, you do not turn it over and case law supports that a recent district

court, washington, d.c.'s court of appeals case state we don't turn it over unless it was judicial proceeding and the only thing would be impeachment proceeding. eric: mercedes, look, you're the president of the united states and you should see everything. >> well, it's interesting, there is that counterargument but frankly you're exactly right about that, it is true, there's so much support and even with the constitutional challenge that is have come in, there's so much support to allow those redactions to take place. the guaranty that you give the grand jurors, they have avowed to keep this obviously confidential, prosecutors involved in the process are also required to keep it confidential, stream of people that have to keep it confidential and there isn't any case that i know of where you have been required to release grand jury information. >> right, the big distinction between the star material and mueller report was that ken star

was independent counsel. the laws are different. require him to turn it over. mueller not the case. he's special counsel for the department of justice, he is governed by their rules and their laws. >> the laws change, the laws change but ken star was independent counsel, he could report directly to congress. that's not what the law is. now the law is that the independent counsel actually reports to the department of justice which would be the attorney general, which is william barr, so very different laws in effect. a lot of people are making that mistake, they are conflating the two. it's specific law that's changed. >> you know why it's changed, critics are going say that they are trying to put the fix in. >> the laws changed because of what we are talking about, information that needs to be redacted. aside from grand jury, there's also national implications which could combo play as well.

>> no one wants sources or methods that could hurt the country to get out. you know what they're going to say, you can't have black-out pages, whether or not they -- let me give you sound bite by adam schiff saying that classified material can come out, here is what the congressman had to say. >> well, look, if there are classified portions to have report, if there's classified annex, for example, that may be close fold. there may be parts that can be declassified. eric: what about declassified? >> listen, the report is going to give enough ammunition for people to make determinations, we would hope not assumptions but ask william barr specific more questions. this is why they are elected aspects unredacted. >> declassified or lead to some sort of impeachment proceeding

which would potentially require the grand jury. eric: what about the origins of the whole case, devin nunes announced he's giving 8 criminal referrals to the attorney general in dealing with the origins of how this whole thing started, talking about clinton, dnc, fisa material, can barr address any of that, some of that is being to ig, do you expect that to come up at all? >> that's a great question. eric: investigating them. >> that's a great question. anything that's talking about the current or future proceeding should not be allowed to be discussed in that form. separate and apart from this type of fact-finding that they will do with william barr testifying because it has to be independent and has to be done and frankly whenever there's been challenges, challenges like that with investigations that they they want to speak to prosecutors, all of that secrecy to preserve that investigation. you can't start divulge the

information that can compromise. >> we know based upon cohen's testimony that there's southern district investigation. there's no secret. they need to let that situation play out before they can begin asking questions very pointed questions that could potentially affect the investigation. >> wouldn't it be great that defense attorneys, both of us could go in and say prosecutor, we want to see everything that you have, tell us what witnesses you have, we don't have the luxury, there isn't a vehicle by which you can get during the course of investigation. we are we are finally, one of the issues that has been supported, fox news reported there are about 2 dozen sealed indictments in the district court in washington, d.c. do you know anything about what that is? it may not be something else, do we have any that mueller shifted this off? we need -- >> that's the beauty of the grand jury. we are not going -- you are not going to find anything about it until they unseal.

if you do and unseal, you're giving potential. >> exactly. >> justice is blind in this case. >> certainly is. not even peeking. all right. we will see, thank you. we will see what attorney general says on tuesday. >> great to see you, thank you. arthel: eric, thank you, the fbi joining the investigation into suspicious fire, three historically black churches burning in louisiana over the past 10 days, jeff paul has more now from our west coast news room, hi, jeff. >> arthel, all 3 fires happening in same louisiana perish which is causing concern for other churches in the area and members. the fire marshal investigating saying while it isn't clear if they are connected but he's calling them suspicious, church members reported first fire on march 26th, authorities don't know what caused the fire but treating each one as crime

scene. >> this is inconceivable. when you look at the churches places like this of worship are not just building of god, these are buildings that people worship in on a regular basis, weddings here, there's been funerals, children who were raised here and i take that very seriously. >> investigators report that churches were all over 100 years old, thankfully at each of the sites, no one was inside of the fires but members of the church that is were destroyed are worried about what could happen next. >> you think other people who churches are still standing, what we have to do to keep the churches and keep somebody from destroying, ours has been destroyed. we don't want this to continue to happen to somebody else. >> those who attended the impact churches say it's devastating to lose their church but they still have their strong congregation of worshipers and we are

starting to hear about people stepping up and offering temporary facilities for services, arthel. arthel: all right, jeff paul, thank you. eric. eric: they've rescued a california woman and driver who were kidnapped last week at national park. police say they both kimberly and driver, the captives escaped. safari expedition and a group of men held them at gunpoint. right now unclear if anyone paid any of the 500,000-dollar ransom that those gunmen demanded. arthel: america's strongest middle eastern ally healing critical election this week, netanyahu is trying to suede voters in keeping job in tight race. plus several southern states bracing for more severe storms threatening to bring heavy rain and damaging winds. the forecast is coming up next

>> israeli prime minister to annex jewish settlements if he's elected to fifth term on wednesday, hardline step beyond existing israeli policy. netanyahu's vow in attempt for race, likely kill any chances kind of israeli-palestinian two-state deal that most have -- >> that would be the tenth year and we will make them all public. >> what's all so people know? >> 10 years. by the way i'm delighted to do that proud to do that. hey, mr. trump, you do the same thing. arthel: all right, that was one of my favorite shows there.

okay that is vermont senator and 2020 democratic candidate bernie sanders promising full financial disclosure this time around. remember, he only released one year of tax returns when he ran for the democratic nomination in 2016, that's what they were talking, this comes as president trump's lawyers are setting up for a fight with congressional democrats who are asking to see 6 years of the president's tax returns. >> you have a president that not only has very significant wealth but made the unusual decision to continue to control that wealth and not to have a blind trust but actually pass onto his family with his full involvement the ability to vol his -- control his wealth. there's question whether the president's personal financial interest impacted public-decision making. arthel: all right, gabi, white house correspondent at politico, despite the questions raised there, acting white house chief of staff mick mulvaney on fox

news sunday saying the democrats will never, quote, see president's trump tax returns nor should they adding that, you know, he won the 2016 election without releasing his tax returns then it will work again. >> the white house and most republican officials indicating that -- you know, this is something that was litigated during the 2016 election when the president back then declined to release tax returns and voters still felt as though he was worthy of the highest office and, you know, carried him to presidency and so why would -- why would democrats suddenly this time around go back to that issue when they have control of the house now, they can be pushing policy through that is impacting americans more than, you know, any release or public views of the president's tax returns would. that's the point the white house

is making right now and politically it's probably going to work a bit better for republicans than democrats who don't really want to got bogged town with tons and tons of investigations and political antics that -- as they head into own 2020 election. >> not to disclose -- >> they'll speak to my lawyers and attorney general. [inaudible] >> they'll speak to my lawyers and they'll speak to the attorney general. arthel: the question the reporter asked off camera, did you tell the commissioner of the irs not to disclose to the house ways and means committee your tax returns? should the irs reject the request of -- to release president trump's tax returns to congress in which congress is entitled to see those tax returns and mr. president, lawyers are saying that they will take the fight to highest court as we all know, but will the court of public opinion have

a say in the meantime and are all americans okay with this? >> well, i think we've already seen in public opinion polling that most americans will prefer that congressman and women are focusing on the issues that really impact them, health care, immigration, taxes and that's why you have not only the white house but also lawmakers on capitol hill including some democrats who have said that we shouldn't be focusing and shouldn't be focusing on president instead of govern, this is what democrats are saying, at the same time you have significant leaders within their party wanting to pursue changes like chasing the president's tax returns and investigating his financial holdings and campaign -- arthel: you know there are valid reasons for that too, it's not just political. >> there's still looming questions about why president trump doesn't want his tax returns to be made public that are valid and i do think that

there are plenty of democrats who have made the case that perhaps there's something in there that could indicate that this policy he is pushing, the parts of his agenda economically and tax wise, own profits and business dealings and concerning to the american people but if you look at public it's not priority of american voters, they want congress and their elected officials to be focusing on the issues that really do impact them. arthel: meanwhile let's look at some of the 2020 presidential candidates who have released, amy klobuchar of minnesota, 12 years, governor of state of washington, 112 years. senator elizabeth warren 10 years. new york senator kirsten gillibrand, 1 year. gabi, meanwhile senator bernie sanders demanding that president trump demanding tax returns however he has not released his. do you think senator sanders

will release tax returns now or will he wait until overcrowded field of contenders is down a bit? >> he's running ahead of most other official democratic contenders, he can wait, but it is unsustainable as democratic strategists told me today, for any 2020 contender to think that they can get away or get through a primary without releasing their tax returns and so senator sanders will almost definitely face pressure in the coming weeks to do just that as well other, senator cory booker released partial tax returns and i was about own financial history and i know he's facing pressure as well and simultaneously continues to call for the president to release his tax returns. arthel: all right, gabby orr,
