♪♪ >> hello again from "fox news sunday" in washington. the fbi has retrieved 11 sets of classified documents about 27 boxes worth from donald trump's mar-a-lago estate. federal agents were investigating violations of the espionage act. designations used to protect the most sensitive national security information in the country. the former president and his ally sake he has declassified those materials unilaterally before he left office and said he would have turned them over the justice department simply asked him to. be it he is in south carolina vacationing this weekend. >> the white house said they had no idea this raid was coming and they refuse to wait inside the department of justice operates

independently without political influence. allies and supporters of president trump believe otherwise. >> it looks very political. >> rushing to former president trump's defense. removing 11 sets of classified documents from trump's mar-a-lago estate after a court found probable cause. >> i personally approve the decision to seek a search warrant in this matter. >> unsealed by the doj after public outcry and an attack on an fbi facility says three laws may have been violated. part of the espionage act. possible efforts to hide, damage or destroy government records and possible obstruction of justice carrying a combined penalty of 33 years behind bars. among the material seized,

documents labeled top-secret, the highest classification and to be viewed only in a secured government facility. agents were seeking material related to nuclear weapons a hoax. suggested evidence was planted. >> we have a standing order that documents removed from the oval office were deemed to be declassified the moment he removed them. the power of declassified the classified documents rest solely on the united states. >> knowledge of the grand jury process certified two months ago no classified material remained at the residence. serious legal consequences if they lied to authorities. president biden has not faced camera since the raid. >> as a former prosecutor i don't speak about anyone else's case. full confidence at the department of justice.

>> john bolton told fox he told prefers if he could keep sensitive documents. they are now pushing for formal damage assessment. >> jackie reporting from south carolina forest. thank you. let's begin with our sunday group. jonathan. former state department spokesperson. jonathan riley of the wall street journal. washington bureau chief susan page. hi to all of you. there is a whole lot that we do not know about these documents. we do know, though, some of them are at least marked top-secret fbi. the president says he has declassified all of them. does that argument hold legal weight? who legally owns these documents whether they are classified or not. >> it does not negate the warrant. the fact that they might be

declassified. this goes to material that may not be classified but may still be sensitive information. it goes to the sensitivity of the material what he understood to be the status of the material. the warrant lacks particularity. this thing is unbelievably broad. if you find a single document with any classification marking you can take the whole box and then you can take all of the boxes that are there with that box. it is basically an order to take the entire animal including the oink and the mill. there are some legitimate questions here about the scope. it goes more to the viability of the case than the technical application of these laws. >> the president does have the authority to unilaterally declassify whatever he wants.

the reality though is that there is a process that has long been in place. working through the director of national intelligence making sure what they want to declassify does not jeopardize the security or lives of american operatives overseas whether that be troops or intelligence officials. also that it does not hurt relationships with other countries. >> that is right. there is still a process. i would be shocked if donald trump went through a very detailed process with paper and working with the dni to get all of these declassified. he seems to be saying he just ordered it to be done. that is not exactly how it works sending a letter to the department of justice and there were no more classified documents there. they had to be subpoenaed. they were not being cooperative. the facts on this case undercut the argument that trump is trying to make. we would've cooperated.

why did you keep saying that you did not have any? this is a long history of donald trump misusing information. he gave classified information about a source to the russians in the oval office. he went after the intelligence community. he tweeted at times things that were classified. it's not like he always protected classified information so tightly. >> to pick up on that thread, telling fox news yesterday, and on friday, that a very reliable source told him that the facts are that president trump did not know what was inside of the boxes. he had never looked at them. if that is proven to be the case, does not change any of the legal or political arguments surrounding this? >> i don't think so. not necessarily. i think what we are seeing here

is a pattern. accused of violating political norms. sometimes fairly, sometimes unfairly. this has never happened in u.s. history. a president's home being. donald trump has been out of office 418 months. nuclear secrets, highly sensitive notarial, why did the justice department wait till long. what is the urgency here? the public here is asking these big picture questions. is this a fishing expedition for january 6? is this about going after one of president biden's potential opponents in 2024? this looks like political theater for the average opponent >> to jason's point, do

republicans have a legitimate argument here when they say no matter what is in these boxes, this is coming three months, this search and seizure comes free months before the midterms, they have known about this for at least a year, it reeks of political motivation. >> let's find out more information. let's find out what they thought before the search took place. we don't know the details of what they found in let's find out why former president trump had taken these documents with him after he left the white house. i think it is premature to draw conclusions about the motivation of the attorney general, the motivation of any political impact in the midterms. questions until we know more about what they found. those are questions that are simply not answered at this point. >> if the underlying affidavit

at some point is released, we will have more insight into that. jonathan, the nuts and bolts here are clear. talk to us about the difference of how this investigation is being handled compared to the investigation of hillary clinton's mishandling. >> involved in the investigation. exactly. including the espionage act. the justice department said we don't prosecute cases of gross negligence under this ad. we don't think it's fair for people to do so. the knowledge of the president, what he knew was in those boxes does go to the prior viability of a criminal case. what is disturbing to me, first of all, i have to push back a little bit on the declassification aspect. presidents always argue they can declassify information unilaterally. this president says he has a standing order to do so when he

removed from the white house. we have not had that sort of litigated out. what concerns me is reports today that there was attorney-client material gathered up in those boxes that is entirely believable when you read attachment the that gives the scope of the search. the trump people say that they asked for a special master to just go in and independently look at materials and remove attorney-client material and that request was denied. garland needs to ensure the public this is not a pretextual search. he could have done that by saying we will have a special master look at this. we don't want attorney-client material. this is not a pretext for another investigation. if he denied that, i do find it pretty troubling. >> the president is also separately facing investigation into his business dealings in

new york. this week he pled the fifth. take a listen to what he said previously about that maneuver in the past. >> when you have your staff taking the fifth amendment, taking the fifth, so they are not prosecuted, the man that set up the illegal server taking the fifth, i think that it is disgraceful, and, believe me, this country really thinks it is disgraceful as well. >> if you are innocent, why are you taking the fifth amendment. >> changes tune there, jason? >> obviously, a big change of tune. [laughter] inflating the worth of his assets in order to secure bank loans. it is a separate case. he is singing a different tune now that involves him. i will say, we sell him there with hillary clinton. when it comes to this raid on

mar-a-lago, that will be the comparison of how he is being handled. garland has to handle this hurdle. they have a history here of involving themselves in political campaigns and elections. the public remembers that. i really think that the bar is quite hi here. >> this is only one of six or seven investigations, criminal and congressional that donald trump is under. he continually pushes the boundaries. it's not like he is a model citizen and hoops, he took a few boxes home from the white house. if you think people are worried about hillary right now, they are looking at donald trump and thinking i don't want four years of this chaos. >> democrats said he was not

being aggressive enough. >> is out why he asked it. >> he came out and had a press conference which he barely rarely does. >> up next we will go live to afghanistan. withdrawing the last remaining troops and ending the war. the afghan people once again living under caliban rule. when we come back.

>> tomorrow marks one year since a biden administration chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan. we remember these images you are looking at here just outside the international airport. hundreds of thousands of afghans desperate to flee the country in order to escape the grip. american forces were ultimately able to evacuate over 100,000 of those people. countless others including american citizens were left behind to face an uncertain fate. talking with retired four-star general. first we go to try in kabul. >> jillian, tomorrow marks one year since the caliban took control of afghanistan. since then the country's economy has collapsed. women rights have decreased and

the security situation here remains tense. walking through the streets of kabul behind me, there is offense of normalcy. street vendors outselling food. you can hear the horns honking behind me. the taliban control is like a police force. behind that it is fear and uncertainty for the afghan people. they left behind thousands of american allies, translators and people that worked at the u.s. embassy and those people are terrified. we spoke with one today that spent moments in a safe house. he is worried about the lives of his family. that taliban puts on a good face for the international community. their words often do not match their actions. they released a decree saying women here are free although women are not allowed out at night without a young male escort. teenagers are not able to go to secondary schools in the country. any woman leaving the house has

to be completely covered. that is the latest situation on the ground in afghanistan. >> i understand your toque to an official about the situation. >> the leader of al qaeda was killed in a u.s. drone strike in kabul. in the taliban know that he was here? >> they made it very clear that leadership was not aware of either. his arrival nor his presence in kabul. they would continue to conduct the investigation to verify. but the fact remains that this was a grave violation of international law by the united states of america. conducting actions inside of a sovereign state. >> we discussed a variety of

topics with this taliban unofficial. what i found interesting regarding his remarks about the al qaeda leader killed last month and a drone strike, this official refused to even confirm he was dead. that is a position of the taliban. they say the united states acted illegally by launching this drone strike in afghanistan and they are not confirming that he was killed in this strike. >> thank you. joining us here in washington is fox news strategic analyst general jack keene. thank you for being with us today. last august you said this withdraws one of the most significant foreign policy wonders in american history. as we sit here today, has anything changed? >> it is such a tragic situation and it is so preventable. a failed state in the sense. people suffering. taliban has returned.

denying people individual rights. women cannot work, they cannot go to school. they are controlling all the culture. no music in the country. shutting down all the normal cultural aspirations that a nation or people would have. what compounds that, look, we went to afghanistan to stop the taliban from providing sanctuary to the al qaeda. we all know that. where did this decision get us? the taliban and in charge again providing sanctuary to the taliban, providing sanctuary to al qaeda. the killing resurrected the fact he is living in a taliban house in a neighborhood i've been to many times where senior taliban leaders are in residence and obviously they are protecting the al qaeda leader as well as his organization.

to date, we have done nothing against that organization. done nothing against isis and afghanistan is a sanctuary for terrorism. the very reason they went there. we are right back where we started. >> the killing of al qaeda's leader also, as you mentioned, had the effect of laying bare the stark reality which is that the taliban is up to the same old tricks they have always been. they are harboring terrorists once again. did anyone in the biden administration have reason to believe that that changed before they executed the final phases of this withdrawal. >> the fact that people close to the decision when the president made that decision in april of 21 was that he was somewhat

defiant. he was advised by the military, by his intelligence services and advisors and all of the nato nations to maintain the stalemate that we had. the status quo. it was not a situation far from it. that taliban cannot take over from the government. because of our presence, nato and the united states in our intelligence services, we were able to prevent the al qaeda from establishing sanctuary and isis. that was in u.s. national interest. it was an acceptable stalemate as far as many policymakers are concerned. the president thought that he knew better. he was very defiant and rejected all of the advice. he presented a false narrative which i find very disturbing. my choices, it out now or have

to put thousands of american troops in here to fight the taliban intake american troops while doing that. we have not been in contact since 2014. seven years when the president made that decision. that was a completely false narrative that he presented to the american people. the fact that although europeans that that were in afghanistan had 6000 troops there that they wanted to say was very telling. they are only making that decision because it's in their interest to protect their people they gave it all up and we are back to where we were in 2001. >> if you talk to administration sources, national security sources like i did yesterday, outside investigators have proven that the attack where we lost american blood and treasure could not have been prevented. they also say we have evacuated

safely. 125,000 people. a lot of those people were relocated to the united states. they never conducted an evacuation on that before. >> talking about in emergency evacuation that could have been prevented by the president's decision if they took the advice of the council and advisors. it was very tragic that we lost those soldiers. we have left 80,000 people behind to still want to get out. we recognize as being partners of the united states. let's go back to this point about security at the airport. the taliban in the military negotiated about security. the taliban offered the opportunity to have control of kabul. they would not be involved in the inner city itself. we rejected that.

obviously, that would have been a little bit more than we intended to bite off. it would have given us the opportunity to conduct a very methodical control. keeping that taliban away from the airport completely so that we could bet that people who were evacuating. that would have prevented the tragedy that we had at the end. also killing the innocent family we thought that they were terrorists. >> fox news learned exclusively yesterday that they are nearing completion of their own after action review a year later of what happens. they will send it to the national security council in a few days. as early as this coming week. what do you think will be in that report? >> the u.s. policy decisions for 20 years, many of it on the

republican and democratic administration was misguided. it got us to a point where the only thing that was acceptable to us was the stalemate. if we go back and trace those policy decisions, i think we should be honest with ourselves. which ones were misguided and put us in a difficult situation in afghanistan after 20 years. the focus on the withdrawal needs to be done because we lost our troops as a result of that. hopefully, we will get some positive answers. more importantly, let's learn some lessons here about these decisions in terms of going forward. let's be honest about what took place in the mistakes that were made. jillian: great to talk to you. next returning to the campaign trail after being sidelined by a stroke. what this means for the high-stakes pennsylvania senate race. what is on the ballot in alaska.

jillian: "fox news sunday" is on the road in the mid- terms. a whole new system. jonathan reports from anchorage. she knows she is in a fight after 20 years in the senate. the strongest election threat yet. running significantly to the right. pushing hard. >> you can either vote for the senator that joe biden wants or we will vote for the senator that represents alaska values. >> i represent all.

alaska natives, individuals that just come to our state. >> kelly, please come up. kelly. >> the enthusiastic backing of former president from tiered campaigning for her here just last month. senator murkowski voted to impeach trump after the january january 6 riots. [cheering and applause] the worst. >> former president trump will say what he will say. >> would you prefer he remain a former president dano future president. >> i would. the problem we have is when donald trump was in office failed to uphold the constitution of the united states. for me, it is pretty simple. >> alaska voters will also have to decide if they want another trump backed candidate to

represent them in the house of representatives. fighting fellow republican and democrat mary in a special election to fill the house seat left vacant by the death this year of congressman don young. hoping to become the first incumbent alaska governor to win a second term in nearly a quarter of a century. >> that is the goal. that is the focus. it is continuing the work that we have been doing here. we feel alaska is a better shape today. >> it is the senate race that is being closely watched here. can you win? >> i absolutely believe i can win. >> the truth is they will both probably make it through the primary because of alaska's new voting method. tuesday's finishing order will be critical in terms of momentum

heading into november and will tell us a lot about whether the power of a trump endorsement can hold sway even at one of the most fiercely independent states in the nation. >> jonathan hunt reporting from anchorage. we are back now with the panel. sarah palin has been keeping a low profile. only doing a couple of public events. is she counting on her trump endorsement enter celebrity or sheep banking on her campaign fizzling out? >> i think she has universal name recognition. people know who she is. she may very well be in a position to win the special election on tuesday. unless she gets a majority of the voted goes into another

round. it will not be enough to get her over the finish line. we will see if there is a second act for sarah palin. jillian: let's talk about the prospects holding onto the senate aired they have put out both progressives hoping to flip seats from red to blue. politico says it's an opportunity for the left wing of the party which has often struggled to flip swing seats. now, returning to the campaign trail friday for the first time since having a stroke in may. are we seeing a leftward shift in the party here? if so, what does that spell for moderates and independents? >> in a state like pennsylvania, john won for a number of reasons. he is pretty authentic. what democrats will tell you,

jillian, every time the republicans nominate a far right 2020 election, you know, questioning extreme trump backed candidate whether it's in arizona, ohio, or ron johnson in wisconsin who is of course an incumbent, democrats feel better and better about their chances. we now have democrats that have caught up to republicans. for months they have been down and they have now caught up to them. the republican candidates are so far to the right. they are so extreme. election integrity and their denial of the 2020 outcome say they will not certify in the future. a post- roe overturned world. i think democrats are feeling oldish today about their chances across the country, but particularly in the senate. >> she helps former president trump remains a former president. here is another candidate between himself and trump.

listen. >> you said, perhaps, president trump should not run again in the past. what are your thoughts now in the wake of this. >> i came out and i was vocal. i don't think he should run for president. we have a lot of very talented people on the bench. i like rob desantis, tim scott,. i will actively campaign for those as they take on the role of president. >> michael bennett says if he runs, i think he will be donald trump again and i will support him and beating donald trump again. >> he will probably not win that race. i think he has his work cut out for him. but, some of these other states, i mean, maria is right.

the trump backed candidates may not be the best fit for that state. you mentioned ohio and pennsylvania. we will see. a lot of those candidates have been assisted with help from democrats. but, perhaps those states are not the best fit for those candidates. it will be a state-by-state issue. you have to look at what is going on locally. you were talking about alaska earlier. i think that that is an interesting case there. republican populism that culminated with the election of donald trump starting arguably with sarah palin. that movement has legs without a donald trump. >> jonathan, jason, hold it right there, jonathan. twitter. promising once again, you know, they have this grand plan.

kind of an elephant in the room. is there any hope they will get anything right this time? >> no. twitter is a habitual offender of free speech. the ceo said it's not a question of who should speak, but to should be heard. that is a corporate philosophy. they just banned somebody for talking about the mar-a-lago raid. twitter will follow its pattern. a pattern of censorship. >> panel, we have to leave it there. thank you so much. we will see you next sunday. a rare look inside the temple of church of latter day saints. opening its doors to the public. fox news sunday got a tour with mitt romney.

just outside washington, d.c. is a majestic and mysterious landmark. a very, very few people have set foot inside. if you travel here you really cannot visit. rising high above the surrounding forests and highways. re- dedicating that space. fox news has given a very rare glimpse inside. >> towering over the beltway the washington, d.c. temple is a iconic part of the skyline. striking alabama white marble exterior and a sculpture of the angel.

in 1974 became the first temple built on the east coast and still one of the largest in the world. at its dedication a week of vip tours including president gerald ford and first lady betty ford. in 2182 years of renovation but covid delayed the reopening until now. >> we have been waiting so long for this opportunity and we are so glad that you are here with us. >> only members of the church can enter, but to celebrate the church opened its doors to the public for the first time in half a century. a series of intimate rooms. gathering for sacred ceremony like baptisms and marriages. even simply for quiet, private reflection. >> the temple is a holy place and a sacred place. a point of intersection between our live here on earth and

>> for someone who does not get it, this means a lot to you in your faith. >> there is no question. most members of my faith, if they want to be married forever, not just here on earth, this is where they will come to have their marriage made permanent. we call it ceiling. putting together forever a family. that is the highest ordinance that occurs in this building. >> you have spoken out numerous times about how much your faith means to you. you addressed it head on into thousand seven. you said that it is your center, your heart. >> i learned from my parents and faith the values that guided my life. i am not always been entirely true to them. sometimes i have strayed and come back. i have been devoted to the principles topped by my faith in my family. but that does not guide your

politics, necessarily. it does guide how you interact with other people. the degree of honesty you have, the vision you have for things that you hope for and of course it's been a defining part of my life. >> for other religions, they look at the mormon faith and have questions. there is this intrigue about it. the basic think that you talked about was the principles that you live by. >> when i ran for office we don't choose presidents or elected office anywhere based on the religion of the person that is running. nonetheless, we look at their religions foundation to understand whether they will share our values. honesty, integrity, family and those things i think are essential to my faith in other faith. i love the fact that america is a religious nation we had people have a conviction that there is something more important than just themselves.

it is a purpose of great significance. >> you have had some tough roads in washington. one of them was the impeachment vote. >> do you believe that donald trump is unfit to serve as president and should be removed from office? >> i do believe he should be removed from office. that is the vote that i will take in a short while. >> you realize that this is war. donald trump will never forgive you for this. >> there is a him assigned at my church. do what is right, let the consequence follow. i know in my heart that i am doing what is right. i understand there will be enormous consequence. >> do what is right, let the consequence follow. >> that instantly connected me throughout my life. try to do what is right. don't worry about what it means for your reelection or promotion or how much money you will get. do what you believe is right. that is a reminder that is important for all of us.

>> it is grounded for you when you are up on capitol hill dealing with all the stuff day today. >> the values, the fundamental principles that guide your life of integrity and honesty, recognizing that other people are also children of god, that all people are children of god. lack, white, gay, straight, we are all god's children. those are important aspects of politics and everyday living. >> you have a big family. >> ideal. >> i have 25 grandkids. we just had our first great grandchild. it looks like there will be no in to the propagation of romney. >> the expanding romney's. >> they take this in the same light? have you pass that onto them? >> it is an important job to share with my grandchildren, if you will come up the legacy. they are really three elements

to our family legacy. number one is our commitment to the family. caring for one another. number two is our commitment to faith. god lives and jesus christ is his son. number three is kindness. >> for someone that looks at that and says how can they be that good. >> we are not. [laughter] there been times in my life that i have strayed from being 100% accurate or 100% honest when i've done things for advantage or politics. i look back at those things now with great regret. and so i stay at -- say at this stage of my life, i'm not doing it anymore. i will be straight and honest to the extent that i can. i will not worry about what the consequence may be for me politically or otherwise. >> in an age of social media it can get dark sometimes. it is tough to pull out of that. >> i wonder how people who read the comments actually make it a two day.

i do not know that i have ever read comments on twitter. i follow twitter pretty carefully to see what is going on. i find getting instant news is interesting and compelling and helps me do my job. reading comments about things i may say, i recognize a lot of this is just bots coming from the chinese and russians, others coming from disaffected people, others for them, if you will come at the person living in the basement of their parents house. i really don't need to worry about those folks. when i was running for governor in massachusetts, my advisor, take murphy said to me, i will help you on your campaign and you can watch tv as much as you'd like and see what is going on in the campaign, but you cannot read the papers about yourself. i said why is that? he said if you read an article about yourself you will inevitably start in your next address address what is in that article. it may have been written by

25-year-old young person but you will be influenced by it. likewise, reading social media comments, you don't want to do that it be influenced by it. do what is right and let the consequences follow. >> a lot of threats that face this country. the social fabric and keeping that together, your religion and faith. where do you see that threat for the country? >> the founders of my religion and the leaders of my religion have long said that our constitution was inspired. the freedom of religion being central to our constitution. i think at the same time we believe having people that recognize one another, not just citizens, fellow citizens, also fellow children of god. we are in the same family. help us bring the temperature down. >> when you are running for president, you made a point to make this speech not your faith.
