i don't agree with everything john brennan and james comey said.e criticized some of jim comey's decisions. but i don't know anyone who has ever called these two men a liar let alone a felonious republican. he served in the bush administration. they were named by president bush. the senior republican senators in congress have been briefed by these men. no one stood up today and said i'm sorry, president trump, this is too far. you can not accuse these two men of lying under oath without some kind of accountability on it. that's a sad statement where republicans generally other than people like evan have gone in the trump era. >> what you're referring to, ron, was in a tweet that he did early this morning about carter page. apparently, in reaction to seeing a report about this on fox news. he said, the trump tweet said, "so now it is reported that the democrats who have excoriated carter page about russia, don't want him to testify. he blows away their case against him and now wants to clear his name by showing the false or misleading testimony by j

john brennan was also named on the subpoenas. in testimony last week, he decried the leaks of classified information. john brennan declined our request for comments. in the naming of samantha power, the former u.n. ambassador who has not previously serviced and the controversy. power served in barack obama's senate office before joining the administration. house investigators told fox news they are devoting greater scrutiny to power because they have come to see her role in the unmasking as larger than previously known, allegedly eclipsing the others named. contacted by fox news today, power declined to comment. today's disclosures about samantha power may explain a somewhat cryptic exchange that occurred at the brennan hearing last week. >> do you recall any u.s. ambassadors asking names the unmasked? >> i don't, i don't know. maybe it's ringing a vague about but i could not answer with any confidence. >> devin nunes, republican from california, seen at left, signed seven subpoenas. the other four were at the behest of adam schi

here's margaret brennan. >> reporter: secretary rex tillerson today showed signs of frustration at the slow pace of hiring at the state department. the white house has torpedoed several of his picks for senior positions. that led to what one aide called a spirited exchange at a meeting last friday involving tillerson, chief of staff reince preibus, and the president's son-in-law, jared kushner, who plays an unusually prominent role in foreign affairs. out of 188 state department posts requiring senate confirmation, only 23 ambassadors have been nominated and six confirmed. spokesperson heather nauert: >> sure, we'd like to be able to fill those positions and that is happening, and anticipate that it will happen at a faster pace. >> reporter: tillerson has also been publicly undercut by the president who plunged into a middle east crisis by supporting a saudi-led boycott of qatar. >> the nation of qatar, unfortunately, has historically been a funder of terrorism at a very high level. >> reporter: that dispute threatens to disrupt the u.s.-led fight against isis, which is command out of
