wouldn't have anything. >> dana: a good way to end this hour. congratulations, we love having a way to end the show and a happy note but now another happy note because i'm going to see you on "the five" but shannon bream. >> shannon: today, history unfolded at a breakneck pace. accusing president trump of high crimes and misdemeanors. then an hour later, giving the president of big win on trade, calling it a victory for the american people. and right now, president trump is meeting behind closed doors in the oval office with russia foreign minister. watching a lot of fast-moving stories here at the fox news desk in new york including breaking news across the hudson river. the situation in jersey city, new jersey, two shooters dead, police swarming the scene. we are live, buckle up because

the new starts now. the house is officially announcing articles of impeachment against the president of the united states. this is only the fourth time it has happened in the history of our republic. earlier today, house speaker nancy pelosi along with democratic chair leading the investigation revealed they are charging president trump with abuse of power accusing him of using his office to try to get ukraine to influence the 2020 presidential election for his political advantage. the other charge, obstruction of congress for what they call unprecedented defiance of the house impeachment inquiry. going to explain both of those charges and taken as well as what happens next. president trump tweeting one of his go to lines calling it a witch hunt. the white house says it is a baseless and partisan attempt to undermine a sitting president. the democratic house judiciary chairman jerry nadler said no one, not even the president is

above the law. >> our president holds the ultimate public trust. when he betrays that trust and puts himself before country, he endangers the constitution, he endangers our democracy, and he endangers our national security. >> shannon: top republicans in the house are pushing back. minority leader kevin mccarthy from california accusing democrats of ignoring the facts. >> it is not difficult to defend this president because this president did nothing that is impeachable. is hard to defend democrats on how they are running this house and what they are doing inside their majority. that is a difficulty that i have. >> shannon: we have team fox coverage from the white house for my first love go to correspondent mike emanuel. >> one abuse of power, president trump two of obtaining

of improper personal political benefit and 2, obstruction of congress. "donald j. trump has directed the unprecedented, categorical, and indiscriminate subpoenas pursuant to its sole power of impeachment. much of this investigation started in the house intelligence committee behind closed doors with closed-door depositions and ultimately in public hearings. today, it's chairman adam schiff of california argued lawmakers must act. >> it is rather a question of duty, the president's oath of office appears to mean very little to him, but the articles put forward today will give us a chance to show that we will defend the constitution and our oath means something to us. >> house speaker nancy pelosi is keeping her house democrats beautified, some on the left were hoping for a broader articles even including the findings of special counsel robert miller's pro.

for more moderate members were hoping for something less like censure of president trump. at the top republican on house judiciary said they promised bribery, quid pro quo and ended up leaving that out. >> what is very significant here is look at what they are writing right now. abuse of power which is so ambiguous and so vague that there is nothing they can define what that actually is, they can make it up on the fly and obstruction of congress, are you kidding me? >> expectations are the house judiciary committee will work on these articles of impeachment on thursday leading to a party line vote. >> shannon: working hard on his birthday, happy birthday, mike. thank you so much. a team fox coverage continues, chief white house correspondent john roberts lives on the lawn. >> happy birthday semi as well. as you mention, only the fourth time in history that the judiciary committee has come forward with articles of impeachment against the president and while president trump is saying let's get it to a trial in the senate

and no holds barred, the president also ripping the democrats tweeting this morning "to impeach a president who has proven through results including producing perhaps the strongest economy in our country's history to have one of the most successful presidencies ever, most importantly who has done nothing wrong is sheer political madness. in rochester pennsylvania this morning, the vice president echoing the words of his thoughts. listen here. >> it is really amazing and what's happening in washington, d.c., today is a disgrace. is nothing short of a partisan impeachment. i think the democrats are running down this president because they know they can't run against this president in 2020. >> the president again insisting he did nothing wrong in any of his communications with the ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky head and that july 25th call when the president referred to "can you do us a favor," he was talking about the united states of america and not the royal us.

>> shannon: we got a statement yesterday but we are actually hearing from the attorney general about the justice department inspector general's report on the russia investigation, what can you tell us? >> in a couple of forms, the attorney general said that he disagreed with some of the findings of the horowitz report but disagreed with the report that the russia investigation was legitimate and justified saying that he believed it was based on very flimsy evidence. today, he insisted the trump campaign was spied on and he railed against mistakes and misconduct on the part of the fbi in seeking those fisa warrants. listen to him at this "wall street journal" form. >> it quickly became apparent it was a travesty. and there were many abuses and that is by far the most important part of the report i think, mike horowitz would agree with that and also the fact that

from day one it generated exculpatory information and nothing that substantiated any kind of collusion. is a big deal to use the law enforcement and the intelligence resources of the united states government to investigate campaign, especially opposing. >> he also says there is no reason why the trump campaign should not have been contacted by the fbi to say there were allegations that a foreign government was trying to interfere in the election. in the horowitz report, the fbi did not consult with the trump campaign for fear of tipping them off and sending people running for cover. >> shannon: so a lot of domestic news but foreign as well, russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov and washington today. >> the first meeting that he had and then russian ambassador sergey kislyak perverted in some controversial charges that he

had to slow some classified information regarding israel, a charge the president still denies, now back in town, you see him there earlier this afternoon with the secretary of state. a lot of issues on the agenda, arms control including a new intermediate weapons that russia is developing, election interference in ukraine, here's what the two had to say about that earlier. >> we also spent a fair amount of time talking about ukraine, it was a major part of our conversations, just returned from paris where president putin and president zelensky had substantive communications. i am proud of what they have done in defense of that country's sovereignty and security. i reported that crime area belongs to ukraine. >> talking to each other is always better than not talking to each other. we have thoroughly discussed bilateral situations in our affairs and we spoke about strategic stability arms control and we spoke frankly and

businesslike. >> he arrived here at the west wing within the last half hour and i meeting with the president, close to cameras, we will get a read out of that meeting a little later on today but those readouts tend to be thin at the very best. figuring out exactly. >> shannon: we will count on you for that, thank you. so the last president to face impeachment has something to say on the matter. >> today the house congressional democrats did introduce articles of impeachment, what are your thoughts on that? >> they said they were going to support the mexico canada trade deal. and i think they are doing what they're doing. they are doing their job as they see it and we should wait to see it unfold. and the rest of us should go about our jobs and do them as we see it. >> shannon: hillary clinton also weighing in writing on

twitter "we must defend our democracy and the truth is the occupants of the oval office are waging war against it. i had to come on response from the republicans on the house judiciary committee, california congressman tom mcclintock drains the life next. do you have concerns about mild memory loss related to aging? prevagen is the number one pharmacist-recommended memory support brand. you can find it in the vitamin aisle in stores everywhere. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. yeah, and one call to newday usa can save you $2,000 every year. and once you refinance, the savings are automatic. thanks to your va streamline refi benefit, at newday there's no income verification, no appraisal, and no out of pocket costs.

doing a markup on the articles of impeachment tomorrow. we have not heard one fact witness. without our committee hearing angle fact witness, nancy pelosi declared the red queen's line, sentence first. nothing says honest good government like a midnight impeachment hearing. >> shannon: so you know what the democrats will say, house intel chair adam schiff was safe we had plenty of fact witness says and prepared this report and said that's clear and convincing evidence, he also added despite everything we've uncovered, the president's misconduct continues to this day unapologetically and that's what democrats are saying is behind the urgency, they can't allow this president to disrupt or invite for an interference in the 2020 election. your response? to be my first of all, adam schiff vetoed the defense witnesses that they requested.

the prosecution is not allowed to select what witnesses the defense can call and among all of their handpicked witnesses, not a single one could provide any direct testimony. to witness provided direct testimony of the president specifically ordered that there be no quid pro quo. that is the flimsy case upon which they are basing their move to nullify the 2016 election. >> shannon: do you think the average person that home are following the ins and outs of this for the message they get over the top line is that a lot of the mainstream media puts out there that echoes with the democrats are saying that we have made the case, it is clear he was trying to force a foreign government, a new leader who was vulnerable, he needed the u.s. supported but he knew they were going to be strings attached. one writer even saying who was not noted to be a liberal, what

is the senate going to do? this is going to be boring and short because it's such a clear-cut case. >> they are given the full authority of the constitution commands him to take care of the laws to be faithfully executed. providing ukrainian aid in the first place specifically requires the administration to determine the ukrainian government is taking the steps to combat corruption requesting that government to cooperate in resolving issues that point to corrupt activities between american and ukrainian officials is not only within the president's scope of authority, he is commanded to do that by the laws. don't forget just last year, three democratic senators wrote to the ukrainian government asking that they would cooperate with the mueller investigation. the only differences only the president has the authority and responsibility to cooperate with the follow-up investigations. >> shannon: it might've been, we watched double check that but i remember the letter you are

talking about. so moving forward, do you think there were any democrats on the house will vote against impeachment if this makes it to the senate? >> i can't read minds but i can tell you this, there are a lot of democrats who ran as problem-solving moderates and got elected on that promise. i think people need to understand that they are not problem solvers, by supporting pelosi, they are enabling the radical left of the democratic party to drive this entire travesty. meanwhile, the nation's business has been placed on hold for a year and the people that i talked to in my district are serious about that. >> shannon: very quickly, can you give us a gas on when this might actually go to a floor vote? >> they want to as quickly as possible and the reason is they have lost support. they are losing massive support now particularly in the swing states and among independent

voters, they are not winning this case among the american people, they are losing it and trying to rush it as quickly as they can. >> shannon: tough states for them, the numbers are not moving in the direction they had hoped. we will standby for that vote. thank you for joining us today. right after democrats announced articles of impeachment, they were back at the podium to announce a trade deal between the u.s., mexico, and canada. has been a head spinning day in d.c. and you will hear what's coming up next tomorrow. 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.

elliott. you came back! >> shannon: michael horowitz set to testify tomorrow and capitol hill about his report on the origins of the russian investigation. the inspector general found the fbi's probe into the trump campaign was justified and found no evidence of political bias.

but attorney general william barr pushing back and pulling the investigation intrusive. that's not all. reporting live from the justice department as we learn more. >> not even 24 hours after ig michael horowitz released the report in this building, another man that worked for this building, the attorney general found some serious problems with that report, he says that the trump campaign was spied on and the fbi may have acted in bad faith. bold claims by the attorney general. this goes against part of the inspector general's findings, the nearly 500 page report offered what some say is a mixed bag of conclusions that stated there was no political bias behind investigating the trump campaign, but that doesn't mean the fbi got off easy. they did not get off the hook. inspector general horowitz wrote "we did not find document to influence the fbi's decision to seek size of authority on carter page. but the report did find 17

errors or omissions when applying for that, today bill barr in an interview criticized borowitz and said there were no improper motives found. he was questioning that. listen. >> all he said is people gave me an explanation and i didn't find anything to contradict it, so i don't have a basis for saying that there was improper motive. but he hasn't decided the issue of improper motive. >> have you? >> no. we have to wait until the investigation by the full investigation is done. >> it is important to point out that michael horowitz has inspector general can only interview actual government employees that want to talk to him but he can't force people to testify, he does not have that power. he will be speaking before senate judiciary at 10:00 tomorrow morning. >> shannon: i'm sure he will be asked about that tomorrow.

the attorney general also talked about the report on the russia probe by john durham. any crumbs on that trail? >> michael horowitz, the inspector general cannot force people to testify. but john durham can do that. he can also put people in jail, criminally charge them, he has a much wider net in several different departments. that probe being held tight, we don't know if it's going to come in the form of a report but bill barr today who test the room with this said that that those findings should be done probably the end of spring and early summer but who knows, could be later than that but that's going to be pretty expensive. >> shannon: right in the middle of a presidential election. thank you. back to where fox top story, a historic day on capitol hill. and democrats announcing articles of impeachment against president trump. the president says he has done nothing wrong in the white house predicting the senate will fully exonerate him. democrats also announcing a deal

on one of the president's top priorities, the united states mexico canada agreement is a trade deal to replace nafta. let's bring in our senior producer who told it a whiplash morning on the hill. no one covers it better than you. >> i am reminded by a quote from the former republican virginia senator john warner who said to me one time years ago "we don't do a lot here on capitol hill, but when we do it, we do it all at once. this was kind of a bizarre morning. we got the articles of impeachment and then just a little bit later, you have this very strange juxtaposition for house speaker nancy pelosi announced that there was a deal on a usmca and they're going to try to put that on the house floor before the end of the yea year. whiplash back and forth is frankly hard to keep up and i asked the house speaker about that this morning. listen. >> this is a whiplash morning dealing with impeachment. >> the day is young. it is not a coincidence, just

that we get to the end of the session, there has to be some decisions made. >> the other thing they have to do is we spoke just within, he said "they tend to focus people's minds, of course they want to get out of here and to fund the government by the end of the day on the 20th, that is when the government funding bill runs out and right now i'm meeting going on in the speaker's office with the two chairs of the house and senate appropriations committee's and also steve minasian the treasury secretary. i talked to the chair and said we can walk, chew gone, and run. there's a question about the sequencing which comes first, impeachment. the usmca, that's their advantage in the sequencing. they just want to get it done but also the senate majority leader indicated just within the hour that they won't touch the usmca in the senate until after the senate trial, which means next year.

>> shannon: that could come a lot of things up on the 2020 trail. let me ask you this, there has been some speculation that would be multiple articles of impeachment that would give those democrats who are moderates and swing districts the possibility of voting for some but not for others. now it is down to these two, are you hearing any rumblings from the so-called moderates how the members are feeling about actually coming to this vote? >> there was chatter about censure and when i spoke with him, i asked him if that was at all on the table and if they had to massage some of the moderate democrats and he said we are always massaging things but also said that censure was never truly an alternative. house speaker nancy pelosi does not lose votes on the house floor. and if those are the two articles they're going to put on the floor, those are going to be the two articles. is binary, it is a big decision, probably the most momentous decision when it comes to a roll call vote that any member of congress can take besides a vote of war and you have to be on the right side of this.

you have to think about how you judge voting on this. you had republicans being criticized because they put four articles on the floor and two failed. they thought they overreached. >> shannon: so maybe that guided some of the decisions this time around. always great to see you, thank you. investigators revealing you now have a suspect in the attack at the naval airbase in florida got his gun. the legal loophole and his last words to the world next. also, hundreds of thousands of our soldiers to afghanistan, many of them came home hurt or didn't come home at all. by the thousands and now secret documents say leaders spent years misleading you the american public to convince us the war was being won. look, this isn't my first rodeo...

when not breaking news on the story we've been following from new york city new jersey where we learned a police officer has died during a swot standoff. he has they were in jersey city. >> very sad news to report that two officers were shot, one of those officers has died. as a matter of fact, we are now finding out that three officers in total were shot during the mayhem this afternoon here in jersey city and one of those officers has passed. two of those active shooters who were here this afternoon have

been shot by police, are one federal law enforcement source tells us that both of those active shooters are now dead. we are now also understanding that the s.w.a.t. teams here in jersey city are dealing with a third suspect who has been firing at police from this vicinity in jersey city, about a block behind us over here, a situation where they are all dealing with a third suspect. this all started this afternoon, s.w.a.t. teams and emergency personnel have been brought in through from throughout the region. all on scene, dozens of s.w.a.t. team officers, bearcat armored vehicles all called to the scene as essentially police were confronted for what we now are understanding, three arm suspects. we believe this third suspect that is still out there right now that is being confronted by police is a black male, 6-foot, dressed in all black.

according to one source telling fox news that is a situation now, very much inactive scene right now. again, this all started at about 12:30 this afternoon and that same law enforcement source tells me that that officer that was killed was an officer who confronted one of the shooters at a nearby cemetery. this all is happening at a bodega at a kosher supermarket here in jersey city. that is where these gunmen essentially found themselves barricaded him were confronting the police in and around there. right now, police are pushing people back here for a little bit saying to be careful because this is very much inactive situation just a few blocks away as police are confronting a third suspect. >> shannon: bryan llenas on the scene checking this all day for us, thank you. there is where the united states government has spent the last 18 years repeatedly lying to us about the war in afghanistan. the evidence? a stunning series of documents and interviews with people

directly involved in running america's longest war. documents that have been secret until now. "the washington post" obtained a collection of notes and transcripts including candid interviews with commanders, soldiers, and officials from three administrations. their words reveal that some senior u.s. officials did not tell the truth about how the war was going and hid evidence that it had become unwinnable. they did this as thousands of americans died in the war. as thousands of families learn their loved ones would not be coming home, as thousands of service members learn to live with wounds both visible and invisible to the head of that agency that conducted the interviews told the post the documents show "the american people have constantly been lied to." national security correspondent jennifer griffin digging into this, good afternoon. >> few ever believe the u.s. was winning in afghanistan, "the washington post" fought

three years to have these candid interviews about what these generals and u.s. officials knew about how the u.s. was not succeeding during the 18 year war. the post and others are comparing it to the leaked documents known as the pentagon papers which showed the u.s. government lied about the u.s. winning in vietnam. the special inspector general for afghanistan reconstruction interviewed 600 people. those interviews were never supposed to be made public. the top u.s. commander general scott miller is slated to breathe congress and closed sessions today and tomorrow. miller is the 17th general to them in afghanistan. more than 775,000 u.s. troops had deployed to afghanistan. of those, 2300 were killed and 20,589 were wounded in action according to the pentagon. the distortions began in the early stages of the war. "we didn't have the foggiest notion of what we were undertaking, one key general

said. the current secretary of defense continues with the happy talk that pentagon reporters and the public have been saying for years. fighting progress that doesn't exist. >> the bigger story coming out of afghanistan is this, the afghan security forces really stepped up. we have seen a market improvement in their performance when it comes to actions against them. >> for nearly 18 years, the pentagon talking points have remained the same. they were more suicide bombings in the capital, it was because the taliban were feeling desperate. u.s. troops casually rose, it was because the military was leaving its bases taking the fight to the taliban. one top general said in 2008 are we losing this war? absolutely no way. can the enemy when it? absolutely no way. the war has cost an enormous sum, nearly $1 trillion. the post report said it was common at headquarters in afghanistan and at the bush and

obama lighthouses to favorably distort statistics. >> shannon: disturbing out of the pentagon, thank you. we've been monitoring the shooting over in. >> there were multiple deceased inside the building so we will have more information on that shortly and i want to say thank you to the port authority of the nypd, all the other agencies that report to us and a tough day for the jersey city police department. still under investigation. >> can you tell us about the assailants? >> not at this point. >> how many are we talking about? >> we don't know yet, we could confirm there is multiple deceased inside the building and all the schools are secure and they will be secure for the foreseeable future until we feel comfortable to release all the children but all children are accounted for and you will find

more information on that, i just want to say it's a tough day for the jersey police department, these people work tirelessly and very tough conditions and we are going to notify the family but some of our best police officers had a tough day. thank you very much. there was no indication of terrorism. one that we've been watching for a quick update they are at jersey city, the shooting we've been following this morning, one officer confirmed data, others shot. civilians shot as well and saying there are multiple deceased on the scene, so we will continue to follow that and find out what happened there. but again, a family awaits that notification. now for the saudi man who killed three people at the pensacola naval base, purchased his gun legally because he had a florida hunting license. this loophole information coming from the fbi today. also saying the shooter posted a will to twitter shortly before the attack in which he

criticized u.s. policy in muslim countries and breaking news now from the associated press, flight training suspended for 175 saudi arabian students in the wake of that florida-based shooting on friday, jackie heinrich's live in florida with more. >> with that hunting license, the shooter bought the gun he used to kill three people and injure eight more nearly five months ago. this past weekend, governor ron desantis expressed frustration with that loophole saying the second amendment applies so americans can bear arms, not saudi arabians. the national shooting foundation said just as americans travel overseas to hunt big game, there is reason to have a similar provision here but you don't hunt game with a glock. should have raised questions and nothing would've prevented the retailer from denying the sale. meantime, saudi arabia and met with other saudi students still under order not to leave the base. the fbi is investigating the shooting as an act of terror and

sank to the saudis for their cooperation and the fbi has not said if the shooter was motivated by ideology or has any links to a larger group, they also wouldn't comment on it anti-american tweet that was linked to the suspect or discussed the dinner party he reportedly held with other saudi students where they watched videos of mass shootings. meantime here in pensacola, things still aren't back to normal, three people still in the hospital and a sheriff says the community feels betrayed, the department of defense is reviewing the vetting process for the allied officer training program but sheriff david morgan says local officials need to have more input in the screening and something in the system failed. >> we live in a much different world than we did when i was in the armed services. we didn't have the proliferation of terrorism that we have today. there was no such thing as lone wolves. of what we hear from the community is if you are not safe on a military installation, how can i be safe?

>> more than 5,000 allied officers from 153 countries are currently training with u.s. military on american soil. >> shannon: jacqui heinrich life they are in pensacola, thank you very much and we are just now getting word again that the navy has suspended the flight training for all 175 saudi students who are participating in this program in pensacola. the nativity getting political. the backlash over the display at some churches next but first, marie fredrickson one of the founders of the top group died yesterday in sweden, she was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2002. it was the consequence of a long illness. during the ' 80s in '90s, sold 75 million albums. marie fredrickson was 61 years old. ♪

>> shannon: a couple of churches in southern california putting a political spin on their christmas displays to make a statement about family separation at the border. showing jesus, mary, and joseph, some people calling it disrespectful and sacrilegious. chief correspondent jonathan hunt reporting live from outside the metropolitan community church in los angeles with the scoop. >> these are certainly not traditional nativity scenes we are talking about here. as you can see outside of the founders metropolitan community church here in l.a., there is a
