courtroom fashion. eight outfits in eight days, shannon. she went with a neutral color pallet. did you know that? experts say it looked sophisticated and stylish especially for park city, utah. now you know celebrity news of the day. do you agree with that evaluation? >> shannon: she took a lot of heat for the jeffrey dahmer glasses. >> bill: next hour begins right now. check this out. >> i said from day one this is a political stunt. another example why the american people have lost confidence in our judicial system. >> now is the time to celebrate justice. it benefits all of us. >> i think the american people will see it as one more example of the criminalization of politics in this country. >> donald trump does not take avice from anyone how to handle himself. so everything he says and does

is potentially admissible in court. >> swift reaction every angle, every politician it appears. a manhattan prosecutor filing criminal charges against the former president, donald trump. the manhattan d.a.'s office working to coordinate a surrender next week. new hour begins right now. welcome. it has been a week. i'm bill hemmer friday. dana has the week off today. our friend is back with us to help us out. how was the first hour? >> shannon: reunited and it feels so good. okay. let's move on. i'm shannon bream. this indictment will go down in history the first ever criminal case against a u.s. president. the front page of the "new york post" alerting readers to the gathering stormy as trump reportedly faces charges stemming from a hush money payment to porn actress stormy daniels. new york city police now on high alert for possible protests. >> bill: full coverage continues now. jonathan turley has reaction along with trey gowdy.

first david spunt from washington and more on the other legal troubles that still lurk out there. david, hello to you. >> hi, bill. multiple investigations on a federal and state level that could come to a head before election day 2024 or if donald trump wins, inauguration day 2025. we want to show you a picture of jack smith, the merrick garland appointed special counsel looking into the former president in two active federal investigations, one deals with the former president's involvements in efforts to overturn the 2020 election and what happened on january 6th at the u.s. capitol. the other investigation overseen by smith, the mar-a-lago document investigation, 10,000 documents seized by the f.b.i. in a raid of the former president's home last august. about 100 of them with classified markings. sources familiar with the probe say smith is looking at possible obstruction, intentionally not

cooperating with authorities. smith was able to get trump's attorney in the documents case corcoran, the man right there, to testify before the washington, d.c. grand jury last week. right now he is fighting, smith is fighting to get former vice president mike pence to do the same. pence is weighing his legal options. the other big case facing the former president out of the state of georgia. it is a state case. we know a grand jury met for months over the president's phone call with this man on your screen with the glasses, brad raffensperger, the secretary of state of state. he claims that donald trump quite pointedly tried to pressure him to find more votes in georgia. specifically 11,780. raffensperger said sorry, those votes don't exist. on capitol hill some house republicans are insinuating merrick garland and the justice department was pulling the strings on the manhattan d.a. probe working with alvin bragg. d.o.j. officials tell me that is

false full stop. two separate investigations that have nothing to do with one another. bill. >> bill: david, thanks. for more jonathan turley and trey gowdy join us for continuing coverage and analysis. great to have you on, gentlemen, professor, you write this at foxnews.com. you say the indictment of donald trump leaves america with a legal puzzle. there are reports of 34 counts of business record falsification but multiplying a flawed theory 34 times does not make it 34 times stronger. serial repetition is no substitute for viable criminal charges. that's your statement. where are you now on this, professor? >> we're hearing different reports it may be 24 as opposed to 34. it may be a simple count stacking measure that prosecutors can take each individual transaction or filing as a separate violation. there is also discussions that

they may be incorporating other subjects like money given to mcdougal, another woman who was allegedly involved in an affair with donald trump. but these simply replicate the same problems. those mcdougal payments were about 2016. they have the same statute of limitations problem if they are using this new york misdemeanor. it gets us to the boot strapping problem where if you are using the falsification of the business records, if that is the basis of most of these counts, you have to essentially zap it back into life by turning it into a felony and the argument is that they may be trying to bootstrap a federal crime that the department of justice never prosecuted. and it didn't prosecute it for good reason. it did that in the john edwards case and it was a disaster. this is a very difficult crime to prove and this is weaker than

the edwards case. >> shannon: we're hearing the president's team we aren't even going to discuss a plea. we will go to the mat. we'll have to watch over the next year or two if he is actively campaigning and also doing a trial, if he was your client, what would you tell him about taking the stand and how that will play with the jury? i have to imagine he is going to want to. >> i have no idea what the facts are. i haven't read the indictment. to the professor's point i don't know if it's 34 independent fact patterns or 34 bad checks written on the same day or if they're just counting or stacking the counts of the indictment. we just saw a trial in south carolina where a defendant insisted on taking the stand but not with a great result. so ultimately it is the client's decision but that is so far down the road, you have statute of limitations problems, you have real legal issues with this

indictment. shannon, my concern is a former prosecutor you are supposed to lead with your best set of facts. your best case. this to me is by far the weakest of the four investigations that the president is facing. it is the wrong prosecutor bringing the wrong case. so look, no lawyer is going to tell donald trump what to do. but he doesn't have to make the decision today because there is a lot of things that can happen between now and the time the jury is im paneled. >> shannon: yes, we're waiting to see the indictment and hopefully we can figure it out in the next few days. what we know about the case right now, it may not get to trial. pre-trial motion maybe throws this thing out. >> the professor raised exactly the right point. this is a misdemeanor that someone put a suit on and want to call it a felony. you have real statute of limitations problems here. what is that underlying or what is that overarching crime that

makes it a felony? why did the feds pass on it? it is relevant in the court of public opinion. the best prosecutors in the world, which happen to be in new york, federal prosecutors, they said no thanks on the very same fact pattern. i think there are real statute of limitations problems here. we'll see what the judge does. >> bill: professor, last question. as we understand it the feds saw this case and passed on it. this d.a. saw the case and passed on it. two of his colleagues, prosecutors in the office, resigned because he passed on it. one wrote a book about it. and then suddenly it has been resurrected. i would assume there must be some information in this indictment that would suggest that a new witness popped up or a new set of facts popped up? will we know that answer when the indictment is made public?

>> we likely will. the thing is, we have to wait to see the indictment. we don't know what the crimes alleged will be or the underlying evidence. but there haven't been other crimes that have been discussed the last few months. the reason many of us view it as a political prosecution how it came about. the very history you cited. what that prosecutor did in writing that book is one of the most unprofessional acts in my view that you can take. this was a case currently under investigation by a person who wasn't charged let alone convicted. whether or not it violates ethics is a matter of debate between lawyers. i think it was deeply unprofessional. bragg's office asked him not to do it but it worked. bragg caved. that's why this has this patina of politics to it that is unavoidable. >> shannon: all right, professor and trey. thank you very much.

>> bill: nice to see you both. >> shannon: president biden speaking out this morning after russia detained a "wall street journal" reporter charging him with espionage. what is being done to win his release as tensions rise over the war in ukraine? >> bill: tech experts are sounding alarms about the rapid rise of artificial intelligence and the possible dangers for all of us. is it time to pull the plug on a.i. before it's too late? >> shannon: 911 tapes revealing urgent calls for help as terror unfolded during monday's deadly shooting. >> you want to speak to the police when they come out? >> i'm happy to do that. yes. >> are you in a safe spot right now? >> i think so. get ready for a shock. the rate on credit cards is now over 22%. if you want to save hundreds of dollars every month, pay off the balances on your high-rate cards with a lower rate va home loan from newday usa

>> bill: the white house facing calls for action after more than 1,000 experts in the tech industry called for a six-month pause on artificial intelligence projects. peter doocy asked the white house about this yesterday and, well, we'll let him tell the story from the north lawn today. hello, peter. >> first these 1,000 very smart minds in the world of tech want more red tape. part of the open letter they signed onto says developers must work with policymakers to dramatically accelerate development of robust a.i. governance systems. these should include new and capable regulatory authorities dedicated to a.i. some lawmakers are saying it's a good start. >> the problem is right now we don't have a good handle around exactly what those dangers of a.i. are. certainly not enough to be able to develop a regulatory framework for it. >> a six-month pause may not be

enough to protect humanity according to at least one expert. >> there is an expert from the machine intelligence research institute who says if there is not an indefinite pause on a.i. development, a quote. literally everyone on earth will die. would you agree that does not sound good? >> your delivery is quite something. >> it sounds crazy but is it? >> all i can say there is a comprehensive process in place. we put out a blueprint back in october. i don't have anything to share. >> they understand the concern and they are looking at ways to rein in a.i., bill. >> bill: peter, thank you from the white house. >> shannon: former president trump is calling his indictment a political prosecution. he writes the democrats have

lied, cheated and stolen in their obsession with trying to get trump but now they've done the unthinkable indicting a completely innocent person. bring in our panel. former white house chief of staff and a co-host of the five. start with you and go back to a different job. you were counsel to the rnc and know how fcc files work. what do you make of this case based on what we know so far? >> well, good morning. yeah, before i was chairman for six years i was also general counsel of the rnc. in that span of time, i've probably filed under my watch millions upon millions of line items with the federal election commission. that's the commission that governs whether or not campaigns are doing things properly with their disclosures of both expenses and income and revenue. in this particular case, what the district attorney is trying to do is hook a federal election

campaign violation or any other federal law to revive an otherwise time-limited misdemeanor in new york. the fec looked at this case. a complaint was filed several years ago. 18 months ago the federal election commission decided the trump campaign did everything properly and that, in fact, if the democrats were correct, if their wish came true and that the trump campaign would have disclosed this on their campaign finance report, that would have been a violation and an actual misuse of campaign funds for personal use. so the fec said already this case was dead in the water back in july of 2021. so the actual federal election commission that governs the actual disclosure to the world and to the people of the united

states has already ruled that there was no violation. just like there is no violation when someone gets a haircut. if someone gets botox, when someone uses their personal car to drive to the pancake breakfast on saturday morning. there are things that need to be disclosed and things that do not. and in this particular case, the trump campaign did everything properly in their disclosure to the federal election commission. it's already been decided. so it will be real interesting to see what kind of novel theory that creates this federal hook here as to what wasn't done properly because, in fact, it was done properly and the fec has already ruled on this. >> bill: before we go to jessica, when will we see the indictment? do you know that typically? >> typically you would see it at the arraignment. you would see it when the defendant is brought before the

judge. >> shannon: its possible it could be put out early but unusual. >> bill: you were on the air, jessica, when the news broke. do democrats want this fight? >> i think they want the fight generally. but everyone is being cautious with this, as they should be. we're waiting to see the indictment. if it is exactly as reince lays out on no information that would be astounding. this is months of grand jury testimony. the d.o.j. looked at it and fec looked at it. alvin bragg thinks he has something more to offer. the fact that we could have more than 30 counts indicates it is not just a simple exchange of donald trump paying michael cohen to pay off stormy daniels. there must be something more to it. there has been great apprehension. i have expressed this on the air a number of times, this was not the case to lead with. donald trump is being pursued potential indictment in georgia

for pressuring election officials to overturn the 2020 election. a special counsel in jack smith looking at the documents he took inappropriately to mar-a-lago and refused to give back but his role in inciting an insurrection. alvin bragg better have crossed his ts and dotted his is on this it will seem like a generally flimsy case and baked into the cake. jess watters made this point as reince said this morning. the same thing of getting a haircut or botox. paying off someone while you cheated on your wife with while she was pregnant is not the same as getting a haircut. in the wake of the access hollywood tape, that hurt him

not fatally. mike pence saved his butt and stayed on the ticket and say i've forgiven him. the american public would have cared the affair happened and payoff happened. >> bill: we're running out of time. go ahead and answer that, reince. >> here is the deal to jessica's point. this issue was disclosed to the public. it was disclosed the weekend before the actual vote took place in 2016. it has been disclosed to the american people for years. the point is whether or not it is a proper disclosure to the fec. what the fec decided is that there was no violation and, in fact, if it was disclosed, that would be a violation on top of it. the u.s. attorney already also decided to take a pass. last thing. it is a political prosecution. when bragg ran for office he ran as a politician running and made

his case to the people of new york that if he was elected, that he was in the best position of all the people running to pursue trump because he had some very good inside knowledge as to his experience in the trump organization. he made it political before he ever was elected district attorney. >> shannon: how about you and i continue the discussion on "the five." i will see you there. thank you and reince both. >> bill: new polling shows even democrats are growing tired of president biden's performance. the white house yet again warning americans do not travel to russia. what about the fate of this american reporter from the "wall street journal"? he is in jail as of today in russia. >> americans should heed the u.s. government's warning to not travel to russia. u.s. citizens residing or traveling in russia should deport immediately. drain, so to speak. after watching the admiral

that just made up my mind, i said, i'm calling newday usa tomorrow. 70 more dollars over my rent. i'm actually owning my own home because newday usa focuses on the va homeloan benefit. that's their expertise. i felt like i would definitely get a better shake. the admiral said that my service is, you know, my down payment. for us that was important not to be able to have to put anything down. i was aviation in the marine corps, 30 some million dollar aircraft. if the country, american people can put that kind of trust and confidence, the equipment that we fix, literally $200,000 home. can you help me? can somebody put a little bit of belief in me? and i felt like i felt newday did do that. if you can afford rent, you can afford to own. to maximize that va loan benefit and not pay anything out of my pocket was tremendous. i had my doubts, but i don't anymore. there are too many options. how do we decide what hotel to book? fear not, i got you!

>> bill: 10:30. most americans not happy with president biden. fox polling shows that 56% disapprove of how he is handling things. biden has not been in positive territory since september of 2021. want to bring in josh from axios, got a bunch of numbers to throw at you. you can do the analysis, all right? when asked among democrats would you like to see joe biden as the nominee? we found last month 53% said someone else. this month 52. numbers are consistent. the second line is what i find interesting, right? last month it was 36%. he has gone up seven points in the keep biden category. can you mesh those two together and make sense of it is to where the party is on that? >> well, bill, there is this big disconnect between democratic party leaders, lawmakers, strategists, consultants who view biden's nomination as inevitable and they are locking

down support as the president prepares to announce his re-election campaign in the spring but if you look at democratic party voters is consistent with every poll we've seen this year. a majority of democratic voters want someone new. they want someone fresh. they want someone younger. there is a persistent concern about president biden's age and ability to do the job into 2028. there is this disconnect between the elites in the democratic party who are really excited about biden running for re-election and a lot of voters, especially those on the progressive side of the party that have a lot of concerns. shannon the other side of the ticket, this is g.o.p. presidential primary voters are adding to the former president -- democrats need somebody and want somebody new. primary voters don't. donald trump has picked up 11 points since february. he has a 30-point lead over ron

desantis who is not officially in the race. is this all but over? >> well, it does look like we are more likely to have a rematch of biden versus trump the way things are going than having the change that a lot of voters really say they want in our political system. the fox poll on the republican side is just extremely news worthy in that trump even before the indictment and before all the news of the last 24 hours had doubled his advantage over ron desantis. he has been gaining ground, desantis not even a candidate has been losing a little ground. the big picture with the indictment is that it will be hard, shannon, for any republican candidate other than trump to even get media attention with all the legal circus that will be surrounding donald trump over the next month or many months to come.

so these are desantis known among republicans and a good image. a lot of other republicans trying to get known and make a name for themselves. this will be the donald trump show for the foreseeable future and make it hard for any other republican to puncture the advantage. >> approval numbers on job performance on the issue and security under water. 53% disapprove. foreign policy 54%. ukraine and china, right? border security 60%. immigration clearly. economy 64%. that's inflation. on the issues, josh, biden is under water. >> absolutely. there is a lot of vulnerability when it comes to president biden. but i also think there is a sense of deja vu with a lot of republicans if donald trump ends up becoming the republican nominee and is facing the legal jeopardy, the legal exposure he is currently facing, we could have a repeat of 2022 when biden was very vulnerable, democrats

were very beatable but the republicans didn't put up enough alternatives to win the elections. that's why ron desantis will likely run for president if we have a lot of republicans interested in challenging donald trump, you look at trump's numbers in the same poll are also fairly low. so the worry -- biden is vulnerable and be beaten. one of the weaker presidents running for re-election in my memory. but republicans also need to put up a strong candidate who is broadly liked by the american public. >> bill: a different campaign. not 2020. you have to get out of delaware. josh, thank you. plenty of time to talk about this and thank you for your analysis today. nice to see you. >> shannon: president biden speaking out for the first time sending a message to moscow following the arrest of an american reporter for the "wall street journal." here is the president leaving the white

house earlier today. >> to russia as they are detaining this "wall street journal" reporter? >> president biden: let him go. >> shannon: that needs to be the message from this administration but it will get complicated. >> bill: i expected something stronger. hopefully that comes. >> shannon: we need to get that guy home. >> bill: president trump is under indictment but still a candidate for his old office. did you know that the constitution says that's legally okay? a closer look at why coming up. plus president biden spending taxpayer money hand over fist fueling new concerns about inflation and our nation's rising debt. ♪ veteran homeowners, have you looked at the interest rates on your credit cards lately? get ready for a shock. the rate on credit cards is now over 22%. if you want to save hundreds of dollars every month,

>> bill: washington deadlocked on the debt ceiling. at issue, 50% of voters say it is a major problem.

28% say it is a crisis. we get a fresh look at inflation and edward lawrence has that story from the white house as well today. >> this morning the feds look at inflation. the measure came out this morning. it dropped slightly but not where the federal reserve would like it to be. they look at core number without food and inflation and energy prices. core year-over-year. it came down a small amount tying the december number. the newest fox poll shows nine out of ten registered voters are extremely or very concerned about inflation. the federal reserve admits government spending pushed inflation. the president's proposed budget increases that spending. experts say a whole of government approach should be focusing on inflation. >> i think most businesses including restaurants would trade consumer spending coming down a bit for their costs, the cost of commodities and the services they need to run their businesses coming down. these pressures are really

driving people out of business and they seem to be continuing. >> so all of this colliding with the government hitting the debt ceiling early in june to spend 59 days without a negotiation between the president and the house speaker. so i asked this. >> we're talking about the full faith and credit of the united states. we're talking about serious issue. why doesn't the president call for a meeting? >> we talk about full credit. let me answer. i heard your question. we are talking about full credit of this nation and why we believe that congress should -- should not hold this up. it should be done without conditions. no negotiations. >> no negotiations. the president not changing course over the spending that he wants, bill. >> bill: thanks, edward lawrence on that. big stuff. thank you. >> shannon: former house speaker nancy pelosi reacting to former president trump's saying no one is above the law and everyone

has the right to a trial to prove innocence. she turned the legal system on its head. in the u.s. those accused of crimes are innocent until proven guilty. mike johnson, a well seasoned lawyer himself is joining us now. congressman, we'll begin there. your reaction to the speaker's i would imagine flub. >> look, it is not surprising. i'm not sure if she wrote it herself or a staffer did. clearly they don't understand our system. everyone is innocent until proven guilty unless you are donald trump or one of the disfavored republicans they have targeted and what we're seeing across the board. that's why our weaponization committee has been so busy right now. there is so much of this to uncover and show to the american people. it is alarming. >> shannon: i want to get back to some of the back and forth between house committee shares and bragg's office. a lot of folks on the right say it won't happen. we have a new letter from alvin

bragg's general counsel saying this today. committee chairman you can use the stature of your office to denounce the attacks and urge respect for the fairness of the justice system and impartial grand jury. you've chosen to collaborate to denigrate state prosecutors and made unfounded allegations about this whole process. how much house capitol want to ex spend on this fight back and forth with alvin bragg? >> the person denigrating integrity of our entire judicial system is alvin bragg, the soros funded political activist. he turned his face away from the prosecution of violent crime making his most dangerous in all of when is tree and spending his time and resources to go after the former president. the president announced he is

running again. listen, we use the term weaponization. there is no other way to describe what is happening here. they have weaponized our system and justice. we know how dangerous that is. people have to rely upon our system of justice being fair. justice being blind. it is not right now. that's not what they see. perception is reality and why it is all so alarming. >> bill: i'm reading this. presidential candidate could be indicted and prosecuted and convicted by either state or federal authorities. still run for office. article two of the constitution president has to be 35 years old, resident of the u.s. for 14 years and natural born citizen. nothing would change if you get a conviction. >> nothing would change. that's right. i think they have all but insured he will get the nomination on the republican side and very likely win re-election. people are deeply disturbed by this. even people who don't personally have an affinity for donald

trump and how dangerous this is to our country and how far it has gone. they will let their voices be heard in the months and days ahead at the ballot box. >> bill: still i would think as a candidate, do you want to be dragged through this thing? >> well, of course not. president trump has raised all the alarms he can. we have. we're investigating and laying out the facts. we had really an incredible hearing yesterday on capitol hill that has been drowned out by the news cycle now. the attorney generals of louisiana, former attorney general of missouri and senator eric schmitt and jeff landry presented what they uncovered. incredible documented evidence that the biden administration colluded to censor and silence viewpoints of people they disagreed with. it is a threat to our system of

government. so now this weaponization that they are using the justice system against donald trump is one more example of that. i don't know how much more of this that we can take. we will continue to lay out the evidence for the american people and draw their own conclusions. i think they will. >> bill: we had the former a.g. they have a deposition from fauci and f.b.i. agent on the hunter laptop deal and you are right, there are -- the world is in a very complicated stage right now. it could get more serious than it is today. a lot of these issues pushed to the side. we'll see where it goes today. it has never happened before and that's why we're giving it the coverage it gets. thank you for coming on today. tens of millions of americans in the path of a dangerous storm. forecasts calling for tornado and hail. not what the southeast needs. how that could shape up coming up. chilling 911 audio from the

loved color. >> shannon: heartbreaking. to hear those young voices. >> bill: paul mauro, good morning to you. one thing we have not gotten out of nashville is what is inside the manifesto. >> puzzling. >> it seems to have gone over to the f.b.i. i'm skeptical as to where it is not being released. normally when you get something like this, a manifesto it will be a big part of the case. on the west side highway who ran the people over. he had a manifesto. it wasn't released because it was central to the prosecution. in this instance, the perpetrator is dead. so what is this stuff it has to be analyzed by federal authorities first before we can reveal what's in it? sure let federal authorities analyze it. they should. profilers want to look at this. unless somebody looks at that

manifesto and says there were co-could conspirators out there there is no reason to hold onto it. what the tell was. in one of the press conferences the chief of police, nashville police did a bang-up job. let's acknowledge that. i felt like they were almost snatching defeat from a victory. they had done so well and got evasive at the press conference. the chief of police said the day after i have haven't read the manifesto. now come on. of course he head the manifesto. you have to see if there were other activities or perpetrators to be apprehended. the first thing you do is start to scrub the perp to see if there is anything else out there. the idea they didn't look at it be lies belief. >> shannon: police have obligations and burdens on them. what happens when the perp is

dead? >> as soon as you know there were no co-conspirators or not part of an organized group doing something else you have to worry about copycat stuff nationally. you have to worry about that. in the immediate instance in nashville, now a little bit of the pressure is off once you decided she worked alone and now you get meticulous and put analysts on it in the intelligence bureau you have civilian analysts who are brilliant and they will go through all this stuff and detectives will put it all together and say looks like she was in contact with this person who seemed to be of a like mind. let's knock on the door and say hello and say are you thinking about something like this? what was your take on this? you have a little bit more time to be a little more meticulous to do a considered investigation to make sure there are no attendant threats coming from this isolated incident. >> bill: no leaks, either. which is quite remarkable. paul, 30 seconds.

house republicans are proposing $8 hundred to $9 hundred million in grants to school who want to hire resource officers. not going to go anywhere under this administration. do you like the idea? >> i do. as i've always said when you leave the police department as a retiree, you miss the people, but you miss the mission. i can tell you there are tens of thousands of retired cops out there if they were given any kind of play, a little bit of a handshake to come in and do the kind of work you are talking about they'll be there and trained. they should be in the mix. >> shannon: lots of them. you are one of them. >> bill: nice to see you. before we go we have something for you. we have two things for bream, actually. check out shannon's new book "love stories of the bible speak." it is out now and not to be missed. you are working every day. >> shannon: that's how we role around here. senators joe manchin and bill

cassidy. last night's news flipped around some of our guest plans. we have legal guests coming. i hope i can announce those soon and talk about it a lot more. >> bill: good luck on the book and thank you for being here today. we have to run, everybody. a big week, a busy week. see you throughout the day. harris will take over for now and we'll see you noon and five and sunday. take care, bye-bye. >> harris: fox news alert. the next steps for former president donald trump after the first criminal indictment of a former united states president in our entire history. his surrender to authorities in new york city is expected to come early next week. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." former president trump reportedly will turn himself in on tuesday. that's also when the district attorney will reveal the specific charges against trump. until then, the indictment
