>> all right, your final five tonight. does the grand jury mean the russian investigation is heating up. the president campaigns in west virginia where he promised a big surprise that \he\e may have spoiled a bit about before the rally. phone calls between the president and other world leaders, there is a reaction to that and there is a new effort to get veterans the healthcare they he need. congress heads to recess. up first, we start with the news robert mueller is putting together a grand jury. it has assigned the investigation is moving into a brapped new face. grand juries allow prosecutors to subpoena documents and put witnesses under oath. the

a spokesperson for mueller declined to comment. jay second low went on news tonight to respond to the news. >> did you have any advance notice this was coming? >> no, but in is not the surprise because the empanel of a grand jury when you've got epa investigation is typically how they move forward. it is very much standard operating procedure when you have a situation like this. with respect to the em pablg of the grandeur i we have no reason to think the president is under investigation. his team has not raised any concerns about potential conflicts of interest for mueller. definitely not major leaguer hall of famer tie could be. earlier today lawmakers on capital announced a bipartisan effort from

. chris koons of delaware let mueller file an appeal if he's fired. there's an goer ument to be made that the president has the power to fire anyone in the department of department of justice. i don't think that's a correct argument, but there are some that have been making that argument. this would lock down what he could and could. right now there is not a remedy. lindsay gram and democrat corey booker would prevent musclier from being fired in the first place. constitution experts say that could be an intrusion on the powers of the presidency. i understand the i am poa advertise behind this billion, but establishing a special counsel who itsz not accountable to the fire and can't be fired by the president is an erosion of presidential power. congress put in some really hard hours these last couple of weeks.

recess. that means they don't have to take up the bills that would fire mueller. senator koons said he expectses to have something in place by september. >> we're tracking president trump on the trump tractor. he's back to the white house after that trip to west virginia for a campaign l rally. i talked to a huge round of supporters in huntington. he did bring up the russia investigation. the reason why democrats only talk about the totally made up russia story is because they have no message, necessity agenda and no vision. the russia story is a tote l al fabrication. it's just an excuse for the greatest loss in the history of american politics . that's all it is. have you seen any russians in west virginia or ohio or

russians here tonight in any russians? they can't beat us at the voting booths so they're trying to cheat you out of the future and the future that you want. by the way if there were russians there they didn't fall for the trap, so good for them. you you a the big turnout. it was huge. a lot of enthusiasm for the president. he promised a big surprise for the rally but then word started to leak out what the surprise was. it came in the form of -- yim justice is no longer going to be a democrat , he's switching to the republican party. really he's just switching back because he was an independent and then a republican in 2015 and then he ran for government as a democrat and even news of the surprise broke. the the president really built up sue pence for the crowd . the good news keeps pouring

important anunsment to make tonight. does anybody know what that announcement is in we have a very, very large announcement all right, so the president then brought governor justice on stage to make the announcement for himself. my mom and dad were staunch lovers of ronald reagan, staunch republicans. my mom and dad are no question in my mind in heaven right now and they're both saying the same theming, but my mommies saying it more profoundly and that is she's saying, jimmy, itself he ' about damn time you came to your senses. >> by the way, if you've ever been to the greenbriar, you know the greenbriar in west virginia, he own is the. now he's the gonchor of ra. q. news of grand jury in and the russia case isn't the only leak

transcripts the president had with world leaders six months were obtain by the washington post and the transcripts show there was actually a tense ending to the president's call to australian president. take up to 2,000 refugees. turn balance explained turn balance has a policy of not allowing rev yeahs by boat and that the refugees weren't bad people or prisoners. turn bull also told the president he was only look ing for the u to the vet the pep and decide who, if any, they would take. at one point, the president says malcolm, why is this so important? i don't understand. this is going to kill me. i am the world's greatest person that doesn't want to let people into the country. he later talks about the election. you have brokered many a stupid deal in business. i guaranty you broke many a

deal. the president says he has no choice. he says i have it. i've calls all day. shortly after that conversation wrapping up with turn bowel you can count on me and the president sighing i hope oh so. >> the president made veterans affairs a big focus of his administering. he announced a new effort that ames to help americans. there have been many problems with v.a.ses across the country. it ames to help veterans schedule faster. we will do this through tell a health services. that's what it's called tell a health services. we're expanding the ability of veterans to connect with their v.a. healthcare team from anywhere using mobile olympics on the veterans own

computer. this will significantly expand access to care for our veterans, especially for those who need help in the area of mental health which is a bigger and bigger request. >> tell he health. veterans affairs secretary david shul skip was at the event pointing out more than 700,000 appointments were made in 2016 alone and with the new offerings he expects that number to reach over 1 million this year. let's talk about congress, the president not a big fan of some of the things congress has done lately. they have a big to do list when they come back are august recess. there thr was a flurry of activity on the senate floor today, including confirm ing 78 nominations. the senate has confirmed more executive branch nominees than all of the executive branch nominees this year combined. this was an important step towards fillingri

lawmakers still aren't leaving town without tackling the debt ceiling which mcconnell wanted to finish before interest. interest rates could sore, a budget and they have to get something done on tax reform. however, something they did pass was a moch to block presidentoct any recess appointments. this was passed unanimously. so if the president were to appoint a new cabinet number during recess he won't be able to bypass. maybe getting rid of jeff sessions appointing someone else . the senate has made similar moves including last year to keep pennsylvania president obama from filling the vacant supreme court seat. we saw it never happened. we'll take a closer look at what a grand jury means. what does this mean for the russian

investigation.

welcome back. we have more now on the knews that special counsel robert mueller has empanelled the grand jury. what does that mean. debbie heinz, hi, debbie glad you came in tonight. we have so much we need to learn about. you said when people talk to you about a grand jury he they may not know what the is. this is grand jury class 101. what does this mean. >> he has started a grand jury. it varies on the amount of people, but it means there's going to be a group of people, somewhere between 20 or 350. it's done by statute. that are going to get subpoena documents, review documents as well as witness testimony t. we don't know how

could take a matter of months and it could take over a year. these investigations, you may recall when they did in d.c., the vincent gray investigation, that took a couple of years. when you get to this point and you have the ability to subpoena and draw down documents and that sort of thing does that mean that maybe mueller found some sort of possible malfees event or probable caution? theres has to be a motivating factor behind this. >> i think he is definitely onto something because you're not going to convene a grand jury to as some people would say go on a witch hunt. there is something there. it's not a nothing burger. there is something there, when i say there meaning potentially a crime has occur. let's be clear that also -- like you said it doesn't mean it happened, it just means we have to look into this. it may lead us nowhere, it may lead us somewhere. potentially as a prosecutor you're

fishing spi digs. you have to think you have evidence that leads to a crime being occurred the white house put out a statement tonight saying they're cooperating with the investigation. they still don't believe there is anything there i don't think that that is any surprise. tonight we saw the president on west virginia and they're on his side. >> that's his state. he goes every where directly. in reality i think he should be quernd. i think he should be following the advice of his attorneys. i don't think he howd be talking about the investigation anymore and the fact that it has moved a grand jury in the district of columbia means that special prosecutor mueller believes a crime has occurred in the district of columbia. does it make you as a legal mind feel a little uneasy that we

of information, oh, yeah, l mueller has a grand jury out there. you don't think the president should talk about this , but this isn't something that robert mueller is going to come out and say we have a grand jury. it is a secret proceeding and there should not be anything that's told outside of the grand jury. we know that there are going to be leaks because already the media is going to be scoping out the poor house? a. not the media. they're going to be scoping out the courthouse and see who is going in. but once they're in that room with the prosecutors, with the grand jurors and the stenographer, that's all that's in the room period there should not be any leaks coming out. >> we wanted to talk about this tonight not to talk about what happened or what may or may not have happened, the bottom line is so you know what's going on. when you hear jury you think it's somebody talking about somebody

and i'm trying to get my money back. they're investigating. the way it work is that if there ultimately comes to be enough evidence there to indict one or more persons then it will be the prosecutor that will take the charges to the grand jury to ask for the indictment based on what they've heard through a course of series of months. i'm sure we'll check in with you on something related. thanks for coming in tonight. you're still on at 11:30. >> yes, she's here to prove it. >> we're back after this on the final five. this is the moment. the moment you could put yourself in the driver's seat of a new mercedes-benz.

you have couple more around the news room . i was wondering if there is anyone present the trump administration you would like to play. i think they have it covered at this point. i think they're pretty good. i think everybody out there probably has an edge. he's -- the president himself has had some fun with that before. >> yes. >> but what i think they said about this, once again, remember rosie o'donnell wanted to play teef bannon? exactly. the reason they never did it because she was going to approach it with some malas. i don't think it's going to happen. i doubt it will happen, too. honestly, steven miller might not even be in the white house by the time saturday night life comes back. anti can done doing anthony scaramucci, that went on viral. you have to jump on it very

quickiely. >> let's talk about anthony car much i, shall we in the event that he was plank for torp, it's over. it ain't happening. the much told cnn that he would be speaking in some life event. the new yorker has release the actual audio from scaramucci's now imfamous video. this has been sanitized for tv. take a listen. paranoia acc. what he's going to do is maybe billion shinies -- let me leak see if i beep, beep. i wanted to can you -- i don't want to be profiled. i'm not steve bannon i'm not steve bannon. i'm not trying to suck my own beep. i'm not trying to build my own brand .
