let's bring in fox5's tom fitzgeld how congress -- oh, fitz you're out in the rain.et's talk about congress and how they responded to mueller. >> reporter: hi, guys. [laughter] >> reporter: how are you tonight. >> we're all right. how about you. >> reporter: would you like a weather report. >> we're a lot drier than you, fitz, i'm sorry. >> reporter: well, you know, we're getting a little weather right now but we're here at the justice department. i can tell you what's going on here today. so, here's the deal. all this news about robert mueller, this plopped right down in the middle of a bipartisan foot race today over protecting robert mueller from being fired by the president. here's what's going on. chris coons, democratic senator from the state of delaware, he is teaming up with a republican senator. their aim is to give mueller the ability to appeal if he is fired. listen to what he told us this afternoon about what their goal is in all of this. >> but there's an argument to be made that the president has the power to fire anyone in the department of justice. co

fitz a lot of folks are scratching their heads at this one. >> reporter: jim, you and your details.ou and your details. clearly, yeah, that's the big question. the president spent over a year campaigning around the country saying that mexico was going to pay for this wall and now here we are about to have congress return from its recess and the president is talking about shutting down the federal government if congress does not authorize funds for the construction of a southern border wall. but this goes way beyond the border wall. remember, just a couple of hours ago, prior to today, the president had tweeted out that he had called on congress to add the veterans' administration bill to the raise the debt ceiling. today, you know, we get this other tweet from the president today flat out calling out mitch mcconnell over his failure to get the healthcare reforms passed. so, this is becoming a real problem between this republican white house and this republican congress. the president cannot work effectively with the senate leader, if he cannot work with his own senate speaker of the

some of you out here know the answer but fitz is here, from my perspective, fitz, i was dumbfounded because a professional, this is not about anything he did or said. it's about his birth name. >> reporter: well, you know, and that's, jim, you cinched it up that, exactly why so many are talking about this, this is a problem tonight of espn's own creation. nobody asked them to do this, they decided to do this on their own. let's be clear. this broadcaster in question, robert lee, he is not a decedent of general robert e lee. he is not named after general robert e lee. he's a veteran asian american broadcaster who a lot of people look up to for the role he's played in college football for years. the nonstop. one of the people who has been talking about is from espn's rival network, fox sports 1 clay travis and he summed up what he sees is the danger not only in this instance but for others that may be coming down the line. . >> i think this is kind of an indictment of espn in general. because what you need in this situation is somebody to be a reasonable person and say, wait a minute. do we r

fitz? >> reporter: good evening, jim, shawn, there is not just one statue of confederate f there are 12. and what is getting attention of a lot of people is if you compare that to how many african-americans statues there are. there are four. this controversy, for couple of days now, is shining new light on the united states capitol building and not in way that many people who are calling for these statues' removals are happy about. of case in point, take a look at some of this video that we shot today. now, this is inside the united states capitol. there's a statue of thomas jefferson. there's a statue of georgia washington. you would expect that. they're founding fathers. but there's also a statue of the president of the confederacy in would be jefferson davis, across the hall there's alexander hamilton stevens the vice president of the confederacy, one level below in the crypt of the united states capitol. robert e. lee across the way from him, john ccalhoun, a major force on the side of

fitz?: this is going to be an early test, jim and shawn of where the president is really standing with this republic congress. it is no secret the relationship has not been the greatest, especially in the wake of that obamacare repeal and replace failure. this is another arena altogether. this immigration reform not based on family ties, basically based on this measure of what an immigrant would bring to the united states, both economically and a productivity standpoint is already facing some stiff eyebrows on capitol hill. one of those most arch eyebrows day camps from senator lindsey graham, as you know, graham and john mccain for years have been some of the leading voices on the republican side for immigration reform but beaten back by conservatives in their own caucus. is this president, who was already on thin ice with many in his own republican to somehow now be able to rally the troops, get together a major immigration reform package together, and get that through both the house of r

fitz? >> reporter: good evening, jim, shawn, we've been tracking this story almost from the day that donald trump took office. and now it is taken a different turn. here's what's going on. general accounting office and the inspector general of the gsa both now looking into the lease of the trump hotel. here's why. businessman donald trump signed that lease back in 2013 in the language of the lease, it said that a government official cannot benefit from the terms of a lease. remember. back in january, before he was sworn in to office, donald trump said he was turning over the operations of the trump organizations to his two adult sons, donald junior and erica trump. however, he was still maintaining an opener stake in the trump organization. this has raised ethical questions among government experts as to whether or not the terms of that lease have been violated. now, fox 5 spoke with virginia democratic congressman jerry conley today. you might know conley is the lead democrat on the house

your attempt to cross off fitz and simmons failed, but fitz may never be the same again.n: since simmons left, he's only getting worse, talking to himself more and more. i'm being overly discreet with this operation. i know how long you have been searching for this, dr. whitehall. you have no idea.

pope's further orders for the day were to continue assaults as a diversion until general fitz porter's division arrived. woep poep would not yield to the notion that longstreet and lee arrived to the battlefield and occupied the very front that porter was supposed to push through to get to jackson. despite pope's delusional miscalculation regarding porter, these further assaults tested just how strong jackson's defensive line was. as mid day approached pope ordered the divisions of isaac stevens and joseph hooker to move forward to replace shurz's battered units from the morning. as shurz pulled out, some of his hard-fought gains pieces of ground along the railroad were occupied by edward thomas' georgias. thomas had made a tactical mistake. he left a 125-yard gap between his line and the line of gregg's south carolinians to his left. not only would jackson's line be tested again with larger federal assaults, it would teeter on the verge of collapse due to thomas' mistake. shortly before 3:00 p.m., grover's brigade of hooker's division moved out. expecting an order for his brigade to a

brigadier general fitz lee's brigade moved left, preventsing the confederates from getting into the rear. as jackson's line mouth south towards the center of his position was the sudly road. two brigades of yule's division now commanded by lawton after yule's grievous wound would deploy the center of the line. brigadier general early would take his brigade and colonel foreigno's louisiana brigade to the extreme right of jackson's battle line and anchored their flank on the warrenton turnpike. >> early also deployed two regiments of infantry on the south side of the pike towards groveton to screen any approaching federals in that sector, artillery would be deployed along stoney ridge, an excellent position to support jackson's infantry. on the morning of august 29th, as franz siegel's men advanced towards jackson's position, trying to uphold pope's order they struggled to maintain a division or brigade front. the problem developed as a result of pope's and siegel's intelligence on jackson's position. siegel's core fanned out, it was attempting to find jackson's position. and sure's divisi
