hillary clinton speaking out about the special counsel robert mueller's final report on the russia investigation. the former secretary of state and one-time candidate calling for the justice department to release the unredacted version and save -- and saying the mueller report is just the beginning. >> i'm really of the mind that the mueller report is part of the beginning. it's not the end. maybe as churchill said, it's the end of the beginning. there's still so much more that we should know and that we should act upon. obviously that's what the congress is trying to figure out, what to do right now. >> shepard: president trump's son-in-law and senior adviser claimed the russian investigation has been more damaging to the united states than putin's meddling in the 2016 election. jared kushner speaking publicly for the first time since the special counsel robert mueller's

redacted final report came out last week. jared kushner said he thought the whole thing was kind of nonsense. that's a quote. here's what he said today during the time 100 summit. >> you look at what russia did, buying facebook ads and trying to sow dissent, it's a terrible things but the investigations and all of the speculation that has happened the last two years has had a much harsher impact than a couple of facebook ads. >> shepard: jared kushner's diminishment of russian interference is deceptive. from the mueller report we now know, russians made contact with multiple members of the trump campaign, including jared kushner and attempting to promote russian objectives. they received campaign polling data from the trump team and

discussed business deals and policy goals and getting dirt on hillary clinton with the now president's son and others. they conducted cyber espionage, stealing e-mails and distributing them to help candidate trump and hurt trump's opponent. they sent russian operatives in america in person to learn the landscape and sow division in america. that i broke into state and local election computers and invaded our nation in the cyber and physical worlds. the united states indicted 26 russian nationals and three russian companies and the mueller report make crystal clear and all u.s. intelligence agencies concur the russians are still trying to thing our nation, interfere in or affairs and influence our elections. special counsel prosecutors interviewed jared kushner for his contacts with the russians including the infamous trump tower meeting with donald trump jr. and the president's campaign chairman, paul manafort.

mueller report while there's evidence of communications with the trump campaign and moscow, there was no coordination. on the matter of russian interference, the facebook ads jared kushner references were but a sliver of russia's attack on america. john roberts with more. >> good afternoon to you. it was interesting to hear from jared kushner for the first time since the mueller report. mueller's pain point of interest with kushner was the june 9, 2016 meeting at trump towers. in the report, mueller suggested that he was considering whether or not that meeting might have construed an illegal campaign contribution from a foreign source. but ultimately mueller's investigators could not figure out whether there was anything of value that the russian operative was saying. here's what kushner said or what else he said about the mueller report. with the whole notion of the

russia collusion narrative came up, i was the first person to say happy to participate with any investigations. at this point, i've down three hours interviews, nine hours of special counsel. look at many statement from july, i put out about a 12-page statement explaining all of these things. everything i have said is true and very, very thoroughly investigated. the one thing the mueller report was conclusive on is there was absolutely no coordination or collusion with the trump campaign. not to say that the russians did not try. the white house has tried to figure out what it's going to do about the subpoena that came down late yesterday afternoon from the chairman of the house judiciary committee, gerald nadler seeking testimony on may 21 from the former white house counsel, don mcgahn. in a statement, gerald nadler saying --

>> mcgahn met with investigators more than 30 hours. it's unclear what more congress could learn in a hearing than mueller did in 30 hours of questioning. it's unclear whether the white house will allow mcgahn to testify or exert executive privilege. might be difficult to make that claim in a court of law. they did not claim any privilege over anything in the mueller report that had mcgahn's name on it. they also did not assert attorney client privilege and not allow him to do an interview with robert mueller. putting the genie of executive privilege or attorney client privilege in the bottle may be difficult. the former chairman of the house committee darrell issa said that he believes mcgahn will testify but with a member of the white house counsel team in attendance. listen here. >> so bottom line is, don is a very smart lawyer. he's already testified. the president has been open and transparent in the way the two

previous presidents were not. so i expect him to come but i inspection him to insist on having people behind him that can advise him as to when to answer a question and when a privilege night be appropriate. >> mcgahn has been asked to provide documents by may 7. the testimony tentatively scheduled for may 21. we'll see if he goes. >> shepard: john, jared kushner is close with mohammed bin salman, the crown prince of saudi arabia. he's accused by american intelligence and others of ordering the murder of "the washington post" columnist jamal khaishoggi. what did kushner have to say about that? >> he did not dispute that at all. let me give you the quote of what he said. he said look, i'm not going to dispute american intelligence services recommendations. i'm also not going to talk about anything intelligence-related. kushner was in riyadh on february 26 and met with mohammed bin salman about a number of different issues. at the time 100 forum, kushner

was asked if the khaishoggi murder has affected his relationship with mohammed bin salman and other saudi leaders or what advice he might have given bin salman. kushner said the advice i gave was to be as transparent as possible and we have to make sure there's account ability for what happened. it's not the first time he gave him advice to be transparent. in october, as the investigation got underway, the national security, john bolton, talked to mbs and asked him to do that. >> shepard: thanks. sources tell fox news that the former vice president joe biden will announce this thursday that he is running for the white house and make his first appearance as an official candidate next week on monday in pittsburgh. peter doocy reporting. live in washington. peter? >> joe biden is set to become 2020's 20th candidate. he will explain why he's the best bet to topple trump.

he heads to pennsylvania, which trump won for a campaign event at a union hall in pittsburgh on monday. he plans to quickly go public with a long list of high profile endorsements. there's no indication that barack obama who he serves as v.p. is ready to back biden. the 76-year-old flirted with a campaign in 2016 as hillary clinton struggled and never announced anything and continuing grieving if loss of his son in private, this will be biden's third official bid. the first time he ran in 1988, he boughed out before the caucuses amid a plagiarism. the next time he ran, he boughed out after a poor showing in the iowa caucuses. bowden has been accused of making women feel uncomfortable with touching and kissing. nobody accused him of sexual assault and the allegations don't appear to have impacted his effort in any way. there's questions about comments

biden made in ukraine where he joked about pressuring a ukrainian official that was investigating a company his son worked for. it's all part of a decades long report that is about to be re-visited. shep? >> shepard: thanks. the debate about trying to impeach president trump has spilled over in the campaign trail. the 2020 democratic candidates got questions about whether they support congress moving forward with impeachment last night on town hall meetings on cnn. nancy pelosi is urging her party to hold off on those efforts and focus on investigations into the president, his campaign and businesses to as she puts it to see where the facts lead. that's according to sources briefed on a conference call led by speaker pelosi last night. peter, sounds like she's testing the waters with the american people before jumping in head first. >> and so are multiple democrats hoping to replace president trump at the ballot box who are advocating for congress to impeachment before that.

>> i believe that every person in the senate and the house ought to have to vote and to say either yeah, that's okay with me. yeah, let him step in the way he did when he told the white house counsel to go fire mueller. >> i think we have very good reason to believe there's an investigation that has been conducted which has produced evidence that tells us that this president about his administration engaged in obstruction of justice. i believe congress should take the step towards impeachment. >> joe biden said he didn't want anybody talking about impeachment until after the mueller report. we'll see if he changed his mind soon, shep. >> shepard: peter, there's the debate on felons voting. bernie sanders defending his

position that all felons should be allowed to vote. >> he told a crowd from new england that he thinks the boston bomber should vote from prison, too, a few days after the region marked the sixth anniversary of the marathon attacks. >> my follow question goes to this like you're writing an opposition ad against you. you think the boston marathon bomber should vote not after he pays his debt to society but while he's in jail. you sure about that? >> chris, i think i have written many 30-second opposition ads throughout my life. >> later agreed, she said she supports having a conversation about that. >> peter doocy live in washington. thanks. >> shepard: big news from the campaign trail. fox news will host a town hall with pete buttigieg. the mayor of south bend, indiana. the date, sunday may 19, 7:00 eastern time, 6:00 central. chris wallace will moderate live

>> shepard: fox urgent. for the first time, bill pharma executives are facing charges in the opioid crisis. federal prosecutors say a former drug company ceo instructed his staff to ignore red flags, including suspiciously large orders from pharmacies that supply pill mills. places where patients could get many more painkillers than they needed. the former executive's name is larry dowd. here's his retirement announcement. he worked for rochester drug cooperative which distributed oxycodone and fentanyl. his former chief compliance officer is also facing charges. the former ceo's attorney said that mr. dowd is being frayed by others to cover up for their wrong doing. the government has it all wrong

and is being used an manipulated by people looking for a scapegoat. doud will defend these charges to his last breath and will be vindicated. the company itself is admitting it "made mistakes." rochester drug cooperative spokesman said the company has reached a criminal and civil settlement deal with prosecutors agreeing to pay a $20 million fine and launch a compliance program. let's turn to katie. she's a former federal prosecutor and now a criminal defense attorney. the federal charges are new, but the pay the penalty and you're scot-free, this is a part of a pattern, isn't it? >> it absolutely is. there's been civil enforcements against these pharmaceutical companies for a long time. the criminal enforcement is a new thing and probably long overdo you for the folks that are responsible at the top end for this opioid crisis. >> what is this executive and his compliance officer, what are the two of them being charged

with and what could happen to them upon conviction, if it happens? >> they're being charged under the controlled substances act, which essentially places a lot of responsibility on distributors of dangerous drugs to ensure that they are making sure that their customers are using them for legitimate persons. so they're charged with conspiracies to illegally distribute these substances to pharmacies that they new had red flags and selling these drugs elicitly. so for the folks fighting the charges, they can face a significant amount of jail time. there's been a settlement agreement reached for some of the individuals involved that is a deferred prosecution. so they will not be immediately facing that assuming they supply. for those fighting it all the way through, this could be significant consequences on the civil side and criminal side.

>> shepard: the charges mirror the kind of charges that a drug kingpin would face. >> absolutely. i think it's very long overdue. there's people that sell these drugs in small amounts on the streets and they face jail time without question. these folks at the pharmaceutical questions are doing essentially the same thing. but from a corporate perspective. on the defense side, you can look at it and say they're not directly distributing. they're being held responsible for other people's actions. but that's part of engaging in business and selling a dangerous protect. you're held to a high standard. that's why they're responsible for that, even though they're not directly selling the drugs. >> thanks so much. i appreciate it. the new charges are out. we'll keep you updated on what happens next. now, coming up, dozens of folks say that they were recorded while getting massaged in the

spa in the robert kraft prostitution sting. they said they did nothing wrong and they're trying to keep the video from going public. and actress lori loughlin demanding to see the evidence in her college admissions scandal trial. ether it's two years, four years or thirty-two years like myself. one of the benefits we as a country give our veterans is eligibility for a va loan for up to 100% of your home's value. so if you need money for your family, call newday usa. with automatic authority from the va, we can say yes when banks say no. call 1-833-844-6708.

this month. trace gallagher has more. >> the evidence is key. loughlin and her house are facing money laundering charges for funneling the $500,000 bribe through the ringleader's charity and the wire fraud changes because some of the money was brought in outside the united states. the charges indicate the feds have things like bank records, cash checks, wire transfers, et cetera. for now, loughlin and her husband have pleaded not guilty because the plea deal includes significant jail time up to four years. they initially passed on a more lenient plea deal and another charge was added. experts say the couple's attorneys will need to see how damaging any potential evidence is before deciding the next move. loughlin is reportedly concerned that her daughters might be charged as willing participants because it's hard to believe when they got recruited for the

crew team they didn't think something was up. shep? >> shepard: now bob saget is talking. >> he's not saying much. he's worked or "full house" with loughlin for eight years. when he was asked about the college scandal, he said "it's personal and that's where i'm keeping it and there's 30 years of love there." more than that. that's all i got. saget joked that he's staying in touch with loughlin via carrier pigeon. while bob saget said little, some of her other friends said that this is putting unspeakable press on loughlin because they're fair game for jokes and means. she's outrages saying that she's a cheater. if she cuts a plea deal, cheater would be the appropriate word. shep? >> shepard: thanks, trace. live in los angeles.

>> shepard: the supreme court hearing arguments on whether the 2020 census should ask people if they're legal citizens of the united states. the citizenship question has not appeared since 1950. the trump administration is fighting to bring it back arguing it will help enforce voting rights. critics say the question could actually discourage millions of immigrants legal and otherwise for participating in the census, which lead to an inaccurate population count and result in some areas losing seats in congress and losing federal funding. according to our team in the courtroom, the arguments were at times heated. self justices intercepted counsel several times. the high court's first latina justice said there's no doubt many in the immigrant community would skip the census if the citizenship question is on it.

john roberts argued the survey has asked demographic questions in the past, questions including gender and age. officials at the census bureau said they need a decision on the citizen sip question by the month of june so that they can start printing the forms. china is taking advantage of american-made satellites using those satellites for everything from spreading chinese state messages to helping chinese police crack down on anti-government demonstrations. analysts warn beijing's military could use the united states technology to guide chinese missiles to their targets. all of that according to an investigation by the "wall street journal." the journal's parent company and fox news share common ownership. there are lones that ban china from buying u.s.-bit satellites. according to the reporting of the journal, there's no law regulating use of our satellites frequencies. so china is essentially renting

our services in space and could potentially use them against us. let's bring in kate o'keefe, a reporter for the "wall street journal." kate, thank you. >> thanks for having me. >> for those that understand satellite technology, it's like a bunch of windows on the satellite. you can use them to bounce things off. information and otherwise. what exactly are the chinese capable of doing with our satellites? what we found in this investigation is that china is basically making use of a fleet of u.s.-made satellites to achieve strategic goals that run counter to u.s. foreign policy. in one case, we found china was using some of these satellites to connect chinese military uncontested outposts in the south china sea. in other cases, we found the satellites were being used by china to bolster their police

forces in regions like tibet where international groups have documented human rights abuses. >> has the united states weighed in on this? >> so one interesting thing about this project that we learned is that all of this actually appears to be legal because the u.s. bans american companies from directly selling satellites to china. there's no regulation on how the satellite is used in space. so that's a really work around that china has found that has enabled them to take advantage of this u.s. technology without actually buying it. it's very important for china. their satellite technology is inferior to u.s. technologies. >> shepard: understanding the law, has the united states commented on the fact that this is happening? do we know if the u.s. was aware? >> u.s. officials have been aware of this general dynamic because they have approved the

export licenses for these companies. >> shepard: it's a fascinating article. kate o'keefe for the "wall street journal," our corporate cousin. you can read it now at wsj.com. thanks. the prime minister of sri lanka is warning that more explosives and more attackers are still out there after suicide bombers killed more than 320 people on easter sunday. isis now claiming responsibility for the bombings. sri lankan officials say they had suspected links to the terror group. the country's defense minister suggests that the attacks were in response to last month's mosque attacks in new zealand. he didn't offer evidence to support that. more in just a moment. first, take a look at this video new to it. it shows the suspected bomber walking over to the st. sebastian church north of columbo. that is the church that you just saw. you can see he's wearing a

intelligence failures. catherine herridge reporting on all of this live from washington. catherine? >> we've had several claiming responsibility throughout the day, beginning with the terror's official news agency. that reads -- >> this statement did not offer evidence to back up the claim and there's no direct evidence the terror group was involved. it's important to note unlike al-quaida, isis has made false claims in the past. about three hours later, a second claim of responsibility came in listing seven individuals and identifying them as bombers as well as their alleged targets. finally an hour ago, another claim including alleged video of the attackers swearing loyalty to isis's leader whose whereabouts are unknown in iraq. tom johnson writes about

al-quaida and told fox news that the video is significant because it may be the attacks were more than inspired by isis. >> shepard: catherine, a sri lankan official said this was a retaliation for the shooting at mosques in new zealand. do you have details? >> the preliminary investigation suggests the coordination attacks were retaliation for two new zealand bombings at mosques. the last 48 hours, the attacks bears the hall marks of isis or associated terrorist groups. it was attacks on places of worship, tourist sites which damage the economy. this morning the sri lankan prime minister seemed to qualify those defense secretary's comments saying it was possible the attacks were linked and emphasized the likely role of external forces.
