"fox & friends" did a story about a former guantanamo bay detainee released by president obama who wasled this weekend at a air strike in yemen. the story went on to say that the man was let out of gitmo even though department of defense recommended he stay behind bars. "fox & friends" then ran a factoid saying 22 prisoners released from guantanamo bay returned to the battlefield. at 7:04, president trump sent out the tweets lumping all 122 of those former bob dane prisoners as being released by obama, but the director of national intelligence says of the 122 let go, 113 or released under president george w. bush. only nine under president obama. and overall, about 21% of prisoners released during the bush administration went back to terrorism versus 6% of those released during the obama administration. here is white house press secretary sean spicer trying to clarify the president's tweet. watch. >> obviously, the president meant in totality the number that have been released on the battlefield, that have been released from gitmo -- since individuals have been released. so that is cor

against his predecessor when he took aim at the obama administration's release of prisoners from guantanamo bay. he tweeted: the pentagon says the 121 prisoners, only eight were released by the obama administration. >> obviously the president meant the number that have been released on the battlefield, that have been released from gitmo since individuals had been released. >> the president stirred the pot on russia, tweeting "for eight years russia ran over president obama, got stronger and stronger. picked off crimea and added missiles. weak." >> no evidence to back up the assertion on saturday that president obama had ordered wiretapping of trump tower. >> bret: john roberts live on the north lawn. thank you. is more debate than usual tonight over the confirmation of the man who would be second in command at the justice department. that's because he could be the decision-maker on any investigation into president trump, his campaign, and alleged ties to russia. here is chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge. >> the federal probe into russian modeling of the november elections domi

then still on dawn patrol, he tweeted about president obama releasing 122 terrorists frommer guantanamo bay who then rejoined the cause. it turns out nine out of ten were released before obama ever came to the white house. fact. what is happening is that this has gotten so hay wire is that his peel, his very spokesman in the white house and his republicans will no longer play ditto heads. they won't say this believe the guy. sean spicer refuses to lip sync what president trump said aut retapping. now it is fast his boss were speaking english as a second language. fixing the math. here's how sean spicer explained the tweet on guantanamo when asked about it today. >> obviously the president meant in totality the number released on the battlefield. from gitmo. >> nice try, the only problem, the president specifically said in his tweet that they were released by the obama administration. that's a fact. check it. meanwhile spicer continued to deflect about the weekend tweet fest in which he accused of the tapping before the election. a radio host named mark levin over and over, repeatedly asked

separately on the topic of guantanamo bay, another shot in effect at the former president.soners released by the obama administration from gitmo have returned to the battlefield. just another terrible decision. the statement from president trump comes as nbc news is confirming that just last week in new airstrikes in yemen, u.s. successfully hit at al qaeda and arabian peninsula targets including killing one individual, an aqap leader by the name of yasser arafat al sill mi formally locked up at guantanamo bay, 2002 to 2009 before he was sent overseas by this past administration. it's notable as we talk about yemen, yemen remains one of the six countries on this new revised travel ban signed by the president behind closed doors in the oval office. yesterday syria, yemen, iran mock other countries but one country removed from that list, of course, is the country of iraq. sean spicer, press secretary tells me that there were sufficient changes and sufficient assurances made by iraq to make the americans feel confident that country was doing what's necessary to vet individuals

cruel and inhumane treatment and provide a regime agreed by the congress and president on how guantanamo bayainees should have their claims processed. >> accept after you read the documents so you know the conclusion we come away with is that you forwarded press articles explaining what having the two provision prohibiting torture and confining it to the army field manual and the graham amendment which would bar habeas, in other words, a detainee could not use the habeas corpus right to file in a court of law and challenge their conditions of detention. so that was looked at as offsetting mccain and basically preventing habeas corpus from being used and of course it was overturned by the court. >> senator your absolutely right that it was eventually litigated as all these things are. it was a bipartisan effort and it was between the department of defense. the department of defense wanted congressional approval to know what the rules would be. they were desperate to have some congressional involvement and investment in the process. as a lawyer that's all i was, i was a lawyer for a client, i

president obama wanted to close guantanamo bay, never got it done.nted much more social justice spending, never happen. making new laws is very tough, as it should be. the trump administration would be wise to move along now and try to get a new tax code. that issue should unite all republicans who believe the free marketplace is the way to provide prosperity for the majority of americans. if some republicans oppose lower taxes, that will be stunning. but the president needs to move quickly. the tax reduction plan should become clear by early may. we need new tax rates for both workers and corporations and we need to phase out the duction that only benefit the very wealthy. that doesn't seem to be too much to ask congress to do. and that is the memo. now, the top story reaction, joining us on washington avenue, charles krauthammer. where my going wrong, charles? >> amazingly, i can't see any major mistakes here. i do think you sort of underestimate the damage done to trump by this spectacular explosion, implosion of this proposal. it doesn't really c
