of what america is all about. he was -- he's seen more kids waiting for bad report cards, he's seen guys waiting for paychecks. the mail men sees it all. chased by the best dogs. nice to so a community -- >> always nice to see you. >> president trump giving attorney general william barr the power to declassify information about how the russia investigation began. the president says he's trying to be very transparent, but a top democrat calls the move un-american. police, the dangerous weather not done yet. forecasters warning that we could see more tornadoes. we'll take you to the town that took a direct hit and faces a new threat from flooding. also, they helped the u.s. win wars around the world. now they need help. we'll look at how veterans and volunteers are trying to save some historic american ships. i'm trace gallagher in for shepard smith. that's all ahead in this hour.

we begin with investigating the investigators. president trump granting attorney general william barr new power to review and potentially release classified information about how the russia investigation started. the president talking to reporters before leaving for japan and saying the attorney general is in charge. >> we have documents now that i have declassified for the purpose of the attorney general. he can then show them to the public, do whatever he wants to do with them. but you have to get down to what happened. because what happened is a tremendous blight on our country. what happened, the investigation, they tried to do that take-down and you can't do that. >> but the house intelligence committee chairman, democrat adam schiff of california, is calling the president's decision un-american. tweeting "the cover-up has entered a new and dangerous

phase." president trump has claimed his campaign was the victim of spying. u.s. intelligence officials insist that they acted lawfully, conducting surveillance under court order. we have team fox coverage. hillary vaughn reporting on the president's trip to japan. first, to blake burman reporting live at the white house. >> hi, trace. just a couple hours ago on the south lawn, we heard from president trump for the first time since the president unveiled that he left the attorney general, bill barr, declassified documents as relates to surveillance in the 2016 presidential campaign and since the president has ordered the intelligence community to cooperate with all of that. the president saying that he's doing this in the name of transparency to see as he put it how "an attempted coup was started." the president also tried to draw a line between himself and the declassification process saying he doesn't even know how many documents may or may not be involved with all of this and

said attorney general barr is the one in charge. the president also pushed back on criticism that he is engaging in what essentially amounts to political payback. >> this is all about what happened. and when did it happen. this was an attempted take-down of the president of the united states. we have to find out. it's not payback. i don't care about payback. it's very important for our country to find out what happened. >> the president said that many had been asking him to do this very same thing as it relates to declassification. in fact, that is what exactly many conservatives here in washington had been hoping for the president to do. congressman devin nunes of california, who is the top republican on the house intelligence committee, has been pushing for this. last night he defended the president by saying because he is the president of the united states, he is the one that can ultimately determine who can be

declassified or not. trace? >> yeah, blake, clearly democrats are not happy. how did they respond? >> the top democrat on the house intelligence commitsty is congressman adam schiff. he said what the president is engaging in is essentially political payback. we heard the president respond to that. in a statement earlier today, schiff said the following. he wrote "the president's order conferring new authorities over classified information held by the intelligence community is a corrupt escalation of the president's intention with the assistance of the attorney general to weaponize and politicize the nation's intelligence and law enforcement entities." schiff also called what the president is doing "an abuse of power." we have heard democrats say similar things about the president now for about the last week or so if not longer than that, trace. >> blake burman live at the white house. more on the president's trip to japan. he's scheduled to meet with

prime minister shinzo abe as two big regional trade does hang in the balance. team fox coverage continues with hillary vaughn reporting live in washington. hillary? >> the president will meet shinzo abe and he will be his guest of honor. they will attend a sumo wrestling championship where president trump will award the trophy to the whenner. both leaders are wrestling with a trade deal that hangs in the balance. the president tweeting on air force one on his way to japan saying, i'm on air force one with the first lady heading to japan and looking forward to honoring on behalf of the united states his majesty, the emperor of japan. i will be discussing trade and military with prime minister abe. he will be opening up u.s. beef exports into japan. >> so we opened it up with japan. first time ever.

so beef is now going to be starting to flow to japan and our folks that do beef, they are very much happy. they were shocked to see that one. >> the deal is not happening fast up in for some japanese businesses like toyota. he said the president will trod don cars from import counties says their investment is not welcome in the u.s. the president will attend a dinner with japanese leaders while the trade delegations hold their own summit in tokyo. hoping to lay the ground work before the trump-abe summit monday. the u.s. wants more access to japan for our agricultural products and japan wants the u.s. to permanently remove all care tariffs against their industrial businesses. trace? >> what do the talks mean when it comes to possible trade deals with china?

>> the president is putting out smaller trade squabbles with trade partners like japan, the e.u., canada and mexico in order to focus on china. following yesterday's $16 billion bailout that he gave to farmers hit hard by china's retaliatory tariffs, senator chuck grassley tweeted this. >> now, with china continuing to go after farmers, trump says he's going to get tougher on tech from china. he said yesterday that chinese telecom giant huawei could be a part of these trade discussions. that's a new step forward if it does happen. china's ministry of foreign affairs commenting on the president's comments yesterday saying in a statement "the mutually beneficial cooperation betweenhi has been impacted and the two sides are now unable to resolve

differences through friendly negotiations and continue to promote shared interests as we did in the past and china is not the one to blame." so both sides point the finger who is to blame. so consumers are paying the price. the federal reserve bank of new york saying the u.s. household annually will pay about $231 more as a result of this latest round of tariffs. >> thanks, hillary. a fox urgent now. officials in france say at least seven people are hurt after an explosion on a busy street. it happened in that country's third largest city, leone. video shows glass on the ground outside a store. there's word a small package blew up. we cannot confirm that. officials say people had injuries to their legs, but they were not life threatening. the french president during an interview called it an attack. but no word on whether this was terror on something else altogether.

>> trace: breaking this afternoon, word that president trump is by passing congress to sell billions of weapons to countries including saudi arabia and the united arab emirates. the president will use a rare federal provision that allows him to make an emergency declaration to make the sale. that would let him get around congress. republicans and democrats have opposed the deal. rich edson is tracking the story. >> the president is citing emergency with tensions over iran to prove this. you have reaction coming in from capitol hill, mostly from senior democrats that oppose this. the top democrat on the senate foreign relations committee, senator bob menendez has said that congress is invoking a provision of the arms export control act that would allow precision guided munitions to

saudi arabia. this is at a time right after the killing of jamal khaishoggi in the saudi consulate in istanbul. now you have a number of democrats coming out against what the trump administration is doing here. there's republicans that oppose this as well, trace. >> trace: rich, stand by. we're also learning the u.s. sanctions that left iran short on cash and tehran backed terror groups scrambling for new funding. that is according to declassified intel which fox news got ahold hoff. it shows that iran is feeling the pinch a year after key -- the u.s. with drew from the nuclear deal. rich, you got an exclusive look at some of this declassified intelligence. >> right. state department officials are saying this is playing out now across the middle east as you have the iran backed malitias

that have to cut their budgets and trying to raise money. the state department officials have said the new information showing tehran has told shiia malitias to find new revenue sources because iran will provide them less monday. iran's cyber command needs money and there's a fuel shortage in syria as the united states has cut off 1 to 3 middle barrels a month that iran provided. and hezbollah has had a social media campaign showing children in military uniforming to encourage donations to piggy banks, this demonstrates that the sanctions regime, 1,000 targets, is working. >> the president would like to get to negotiations with the iranian regime so he can put in place a new and better deal to replace the failed iran nuclear deal.

while we're working on that objective, we're also denying iran the revenue it needs to destabilize the middle east. >> european governments have had opposition to the u.s.' approach on this. they wanted the united states to stay in the agreement, not to restore the sanctions. they say it would lead to a more destabilized or more problems for a volatile region already. there's a number of democrats that have also opposed the administration's move on this. trace? >> rich edson live. thanks. >> trace: president trump says he approved the pentagon's plan to send hundreds of more americans to the mideast. defense officials tell fox news they're ramping up u.s. forces to deter iran. lucas tomlinson has the details reporting live for us at the pentagon. lucas? >> trace, the number of troops deploying to the middle east is going to be less than 1,000. that's according to senior officials here that just briefed reporters.

other troops will be extended. president trump spoke about the deployment a short time ago. >> we want to have protects in the middle east. we're going to be sending a relatively small number of troops, mostly protective and some very talented people are going to the middle east right now. we'll see how -- we'll see what happens. it will be about 1,500 people. >> 600 troops in the region, part of a patriot aircraft missile battalion here will be extended from their current deployment. additional troops include combat engineers. defense secretary shanahan authorized more planes to spy on iran. and there will be a squadron of fighter jets used to beef up jets currently deployed. the forces are not going to iraq

on syria. the pentagon is not disclosing their location. the pentagon says they have a high degree of confidence that the revolutionary core was responsible for the attack on the oil tankers earlier this month. it's the latest assessment that prompted the more deployment of forces to the region in response to iran's aggressive behavior. not to provoke iran. the democratic chairman disagrees. >> it's not clear when the new forces will arrive. trace? >> trace: thanks, lucas. celebrity chef mario batalli in court after a woman accused him of kissing and groping her. his response. abortions rights activists file a lawsuit to black alabama's new lawsuit. that's the strictest law in the country. we'll talk to a lawyer about the

legal battle next.

>> celebrity chef mario batalli has been accused of battery. he denies the allegation. he gave up ownership in restaurants and other food businesses after several women accused him of touching them inappropriately. david lead miller has more. >> according to the criminal complaint, the woman took a photo of batali at a boston bar. he told the woman to come here right now. the woman apologized and offered to erase the photo.

batali pulled her in close and kissed her and groped her. the victim realized batali was intoxicated. the victim said she was uncomfortable and shocking to her this was happening. the documents do not name the woman. a civil suit says it's natalie tenney. her lawyers said -- >> if convicted, batali faces up to 2 1/2 years behind bars. he would also have to register as a sex offender. trace? >> david lee, any word from batali? >> during the court appearance today, batali said barely a word. he kept a very low profile or at least he tried to. the court entered a not guilty plea on his behalf. as he left, he ignored the

questions that were shouted by reporters. as tern representing batali issued a statement saying -- >> at least four other women have accused batali of inappropriate sexual behavior. the resulting controversy is cost him his television show and his lucrative restaurant empire. the case in boston though, this is the first time that he has been criminally charged. trace? >> david lee miller live. thank you. the american civil liberties union and planned parenthood suing to block alabama's abortion law. the bill makes it a felony to perform an abortion. the only exception is if the woman's life is in danger, none for rape or insist.

today's missouri's republican governor signed a bill that bans abortions after eight weeks of pregnancy. it includes exceptions for medical emergencies but not rape or insist. several other states have passed abortion laws but some ban the procedure as soon as doctors defect a fetal heartbeat. let's bring in debby hines, defense attorney and a former prosecutor. good to see you, debby. supporters of the alabama law, they know the law is unenforceable. they want the challenging, this is all part of the plan, correct? >> that is correct. they want the challenges. they know it's not going to be enforced as law at the lower level or at any appellate court level. their soul purpose is to get a hail mary to go to the supreme court. but they may be surprised if they don't get there or even if they do get there. >> trace: yeah, that's the whole

thing. we talk about the conservative majority. it's now or never. they think they have a conservative majority. who knows what supreme court justices will rule on when it comes down to it. but the question here is, it is a shot in the dart trying to get the supreme court to take these cases. >> exactly. they're throwing a hail mary. here's the deal with the supreme court. they take 2 to 3% of all cases. so it's no easy path to get there. this is not a week's adventure or month's adventure. it's something that will go on for years in all reality. the only times in cases like this that the supreme court does take them is when they're trying to resolve law that may be unsettled. there's nothing unsettled about roe v. wade. it is the law of the land. that's how it stands right now. >> trace: so what -- i get it's the law of the land. so what is the montra? power in numbers, that if they keep passing the laws, the hope

is that at some point in time the supreme court will have to take them up? >> i think they're hoping that the supreme court will take up any one of these. obviously alabama thinks it will take up their law. at the end of the day, like i said, even if it gets to the supreme court, there's no guarantee that even with the five conservative justices that they're going to vote in favor of the alabama law. here's the reason why. the one of the recent justices, judge gorsuch, he's sided on two cases this year with liberal justices. so there's no guarantee that he will go that way. i think with brett kavanaugh, they probably are guaranteed should the cases get there, that he will vote in that way. but then there's justice roberts who is from the affordable care act, he sided with the liberals and gave us that law. going to the supreme court in many ways is going and opening a box of chocolates. you're not sure what you get with the justices if you get there.

>> right. a lot of conservatives believe this is the path and they plan to forge ahead. thanks, debby. >> thank you. >> ahead, folks cleaning up from a deadly tornado outbreak now bracing for flooding and more severe weather. a live report from the ground is coming up. hi, i'm joan lunden. when my mother began forgetting things, we didn't know where to turn for more information. that's why i recommend a free service called a place for mom.

that's where matt finn is reporting live on the ground. matt? >> trace, adding to that wild weather right now, the temperatures are flirting with 91 degrees. people here go through the painful process of trying to assess what can be salvaged. across the capitol city, you can see the path as it cut through the town, right here a few blocks from the capitol building itself. this row of homes wrecked by tornadoes. roofed plucking off and walls caved in. right now fresh utility poles are going in. a welcome relief for neighbors here. we spoke to one woman that tells us she hid by her bathtub and prayed to stay alive. >> all of a sudden, i had a ceiling. then all of a sudden i couldn't see. it was at night. i saw a tornado, which is also not very creepy. >> happening right now, the

missouri governor says the missouri river has crested here near jefferson city and boonville. the governor says right now it appears the levees are holding up. not far from st. louis, the mississippi river is closed for a five-middle stretch. the national guard and the army corps of engineers telling fox news they're very concerned about all of the rain in the forecast in the coming days in this area. trace? >> matt finn live on the ground for us. thank you. now to rick reichmuth tracking the storm threat from the fox weather center. rick? >> the rivers had crests earlier in the season. so flooding a major concern including severe weather. take a look at this. you can see where this is the last 48 hours around d.c., up around the great lakes. back down towards the southern high plains. you notice down here across the southeast, nothing in the way of severe weather. that is because that's part of

the culprit for this pattern we're stuck in. this incredibly strong area of high pressure that centered across the southeast. so bringing record temperatures and it's going to continue to stay that way all through this memorial day weekend. feels much more like july than it does may. back on this other side of this, that's where the jet stream moves. we're going to continue to see wave after wave of storms kind of lining up in the same spot. going from michigan, west texas, and we're going to see that tornado threat again. in fact, we have tornado watches in effect across this area right now. tomorrow, an even bigger threat. again in the exact same spot. because of that, in addition to that tornado threat, we have the incredible flood threat. this is rain in the last week. this has been a spot that over the last two months has scene record-breaking rainfall. all that water has to go somewhere and it's into all of these rivers that go to the mississippi river. all of the rivers that lead into it are in flood stage. it's going to stay that way the

next week. this is monday, big bulls eye of rain across southeastern kansas. the rain continues to fall and we continue to be high and dry across a lot of the southeast, trace. >> trace: yeah, you talk about all over the map, rick. we had a couple of feet of snow in the past week. look in the southeast as you said, facing a heat wave over memorial day weekend. >> i was out west. we had snow for two days in arizona. he that's not very typical for may. that cold is butting up against the heat in the west. we're well above the average temperatures for may. you should be 81. take a look at your weekend here into the mid 90s. same story goes for charlotte. same story goes down across tampa, montgomery, jackson. neff the mid 90s. the temperatures, when they go day after day, it wears on and

will be a long summer. >> hottest travel spot of the year, central florida. hot down there. rick reichmuth live. thank you. theresa may giving her two weeks notice. may announcing she's quitting as conservative party leader on june 7 after failing to seal the deal on brexit. she says she will stay on as prime minister until her party chooses a new leader. benjamin hall reporting live for us in london. benjamin? >> hi, trace. in fact, the writing has been on the wall for some time now. the last few weeks, it's a matter of when and if she will resign. that's because three years ago when she took office, she promised to deliver brexit. she's been unable to do so. she has people clamoring in her party and the government and the country to find somebody that can. may will remain in place until a new prime minister can be found. that is expected sometime towards the ends of july. today it was with a rare show of emotion that she announced her

resignation. >> i do so with no ill will but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country i love. >> the big question now, who comes next. the frontrunner is boris johnson, former mayor of london. a man that president trump has previously praised and who is also a committed brexiteer. president trump comes to the u.k. in ten days. by then, may will be meet. everybody will be looking to see who he meets with. he will be having dinner with boris johnson. we'll see if an endorsement will follow. trace? >> benjamin hall live in london. thank you. veterans across the country fighting to save historic warships. they say the ships are falling apart and there's just not enough money to fix them. we'll talk to a journalist that took a deep dive into the

folks could go on sailing excursions. but an engine problem shut the ship down and it's been docked ever since. chris woodward is here. he wrote a piece about these aging ships and it was fascinating to read the piece. what ships, aside from the one we talked about, what ships are we talking about here and what is the significance of them? >> we're talking about ships all over the country. the navy gave away 47 ships. some of them have come from other places. a lot of them are in deplorable shape. when you get past the superficial things, the things that visitors don't see, you see rust, corrosion, holes through the hull. some are leaking badly. >> some say why doesn't the government step up? the navy washed their hands of them. they say they're your museums. you take care of them now. >> that's right, trace. we're talking about millions of

dollars to try to get these ships just in the shape where they can sit at the dock and host visitors. then other ships like the lane victory here in los angeles where their goal is to get it back to sea. able to take visitors on one day-excursions. >> i'm fascinated by the u.s.s. texas. it fought in world war i and ii and it's in bad ship. >> yes, this ship is sipping 200,000 gallons of sea water a day. the pumps can barely keep up. they're in a no-win position. if this ship gets fixed up, it's going to take a lot of money. if they decided to scrap it, something nobody wants to do, it will cost $30 million as well. >> why should we care about the ships? they're a museum. we get that. but what do we get when we go

inside them? what is it you take away from these fantastic ships? >> these ships are national treasures. they're history, world war ii, korea, vietnam. when you step aboard, it's like stepping back in time. now, some of the ships are even thinking about doing more modern displays to try to be more relevant for modern audiences. the even ships are having trouble keep going because it takes a lot of veterans and world war ii veterans are leaving us quickly. >> and the bottom line, you need money to get them back to visit them and learn the history needs upkeep. >> almost everyone is hurting for sources of funds. they're getting creative. some of the aircraft carriers are hosting high school dances or weddings or parties in the hanger decks. the ships are hosting special visits. anything they can to raise money, get these ships patched

up and make them relevant for visitors. >> trace: what if people want to look at it online? what organization? >> for the lane victory? if i get it right here. it's the -- i believe it's the merchant marine veterans world war ii. >> go online and look at them. it was a fantastic effort. thanks, chris. >> thank you, trace. >> meantime, the house judiciary committee chairman jerry nadler is okay after feeling faint at a news conference. the 71-year-old was at an event in new york city with mayor bill de blasio. the video starts with de blasio. you'll see nadler when the camera pans out. watch this. >> you want something? i got something here. terry? take a drink. dehydrated, brother. you seem dehydrated. you okay?

he's not to have any contact with the two brothers that helped him. the actor wanted to keep his case sealed arguing that after charges were dismissed, he deserved privacy. the problem according to the judge is that smollett gave tv interviews before and after the 16 charges against him were dropped in march. the judge said yesterday that "these are not the actions of a person to maintain his privacy." the bulk of smollett's court file that has been released focuses on the legal battle with media organizations and smoll t smollett's attorneys that wanted them to be kept sealed. >> this is about transparency and trust in the system. the public has a right to know what the government did here and why. >> cook county state's attorney
