what this is is a partisan left-wing attack just designed to protect hillary clinton, her foundation, and what they did. it never made sense to give 20% of our uranium to russia. he was in putin's network. he has damaging information on the clintons that potentially could send them to jail, so they're lashing out. now, victoria and sara will have the details. that's coming up tonight. special counsel jeff sessions is continuing to suggest that he is strongly now considering doing what we have been saying for a long time needed to be done. that would be appointed a second special counsel to investigate rampant fisa abuses and abuse within the fbi and the doj. here's what we know. the fbi lied to the fisa court by using an unverified dossier, bought and paid for by hillary clinton to get a warrant to spy on an associate of the trump campaign during an election. the fbi broke the fisa law and they also did not follow the bureau's own protocols by relying heavily on something that they themselves should have verified and corroborated. now, former deputy fbi director testified without the

a massive cover-up of widespread criminal activity at the state department and the clinton foundation in order to keep the clintons in power. >> joan, tonight he, quote, applauds the work they're doing, although, of course, he did not do so by name. >> not by name, of course. no. and i bet he has no idea that they are involved in this. i mean, this drug company is not doing it out of the kindness of their hearts, erin, they're doing it because they're getting money from the clinton foundation. he does not know that, because he knows almost nothing about the opioid crisis. his own commission came out with recommendations that have been ignored. one member of that commission came on cnn in january and said they were moving around the deck chairs on the "titanic." they put zero funding into the recommendations of their own commission. this was a political charade today. brian may say the president cares about it deep down in his heart, but he doesn't care enough to either learn the details of what really makes a difference or fund the kind of programming that it requires. >> brian, it do

it connects the clinton foundation with all of the clinton corruption machine.ave a phony dossier organized by the fbi itself because they are the ones that chose to believe those that they did. it was very convenient to their purpose. >> let's look at the enormity of that issue. this is opposition research paid for by one candidate in a presidential campaign to attack the other candidate's campaign and illegally acquire, through her friends, the surveillance warrant because the origins of that dossier wasn't revealed to the judge. you know, mark levin said it best. hillary clinton bought a surveillance warrant against the trump campaign. we don't do that in america. but -- lou: i actually think that's a little convoluted on the part of mark. i think he could have been more direct. the fact is the clinton campaign and the dnc were buying everything. they bought a nomination from their party. >> as well, yes. lou: -- and they did so through all of this just sorted rancid corruption that follows them wherever they set up shop. and thankfully the mesh people didn't

donations from any source as long as there's no quid pro quo from the spouse of the head of the clinton foundationyou said it in your introto this segment. it's now the bill, hil hillary d chelsea foundation. mrs. clinton is secretary of state. he's receiving donations from foreign countries suspiciously close in time to favorable decisions made by mrs. clinton. what's the difference. she's using the power of government to influence official government decisions in favor of her husband's donors. that's at least the allegation and that's what the fbi is looking for. that's called bribery. kennedy: yes. >> remember you don't have to bribe the official directly. you can bribe the official indirectly by bribing her husband. kennedy: that's why the setup of the foundation is so brilliant in the first place. the money comes out pretty clean when it's laundered through a charitable organization. >> so the question is can the same justice department that exonerated mrs. clinton, ala jim comey -- there's a difference between extremely negligence and grossly careless, or do we need another special prosecuto

of language it cannot include the clinton foundation. that doesn't mean the department on its own can investigate crime that's how it ordinarily happens the special prosecutor is an exception and there's no reason why mr sessions couldn't on his own through the criminal division i knew the criminal division i work with the criminal division began an investigation of that sort the statute of limitations has not run now how should a report be handled there is unlike in the independent counsel era which had lapsed after the clinton impeachment and acquittal at the senate we don't have an obligation of a special prosecutor report to be published moreover unlike in the independent counsel era there's no requirement that anybody who is accused by a special prosecutor court be given an opportunity to file a response to the accusation so the public can hear and see both sides of the of the investigative report so here the department itself could however implement some regulations that kind of open book approach to any report so somebody accused

this is from the clinton foundation audit: was wasn't this revealed?g grant with a connection to the opposition candidate donald trump. he is in the bar and meets papadopoulos and funnels the information. he is not a minor figure. he is a well known liberal politician in australia who is buddies with the clintons? >> that's what congress is asking. we brought this to the congressal committees. the fbi did not disclose this information to them. >> laura: that's unbelievable. >> jordan wants a second special counsel because the fbi can't investigate themselves. >> laura: first the dossier funded by hillary clinton and the dnc. that was not revealed to the fisa judge. now you have this. >> there are actually four pieces of information. the dossier was funded by the dnc and clinton. and the fisa application was written by michael. >> laura: that was really fast. >> it's very complicated. we have four instances. all of the information came from the clintons. >> laura: sam nunberg who worked for the trump campaign for 5 seconds. he is refuseing to speak to m

this they are we looking at the clinton foundation.are looking at ties between russia, russians with rosstom, oligarch that had connections with the clinton foundation. for a long time people believed that the fbi had shut down these investigations and that they were no longer looking at it what we know now is that they're and that they have interviewed william douglas campbell. another really important factor here that a lot of people need to realize is that during this time in 2010, he also provided the united states government with sufficient evidence that russia was also providing all kinds of assistance to iran with their nuclear program. and what's important about that is that in 2010 obama basically reset the. put in place by the bush administration. even though president obama had all this information, he still reset with russia. they moved forward and we can see what happened with that after the uranium run deal. >> sean: so ironic in light of the trump russia narrative that the media pushes every second of every day. and the

reporting tonight that alexander downer helped secure 25 million dollars for the funding for the clinton foundation starting in 2006. lawmakers say that downers tie to the clintons was never disclosed to congress. shocking. solomon is reporting other things. clinton never got pack -- back to us. in a statement they gave to the hill, australian's foreign ministry declined to answer the question about whether downer had contact with clinton associates around the same time he he started the russia investigation. this is a big report. you start connecting the dots and see clinton has her hands in everything here. all of the evidence that was used to start and further the russia investigation all came from cronies and associates of the people being paid by the clintons or new the clintons. on top of alexander downer we have this dossier we know is fill of lies. the fbi lied to a nin fisa judg. there's a former state department official weiner who admitted in an op-ed to meeting with steele saying he was being fed information by long time clinton allies like blumenthal. we learn more information about th

so adrian, is it a good look for someone who was running the clinton foundation to be trying to run for congress giving all the baggage that hillary had in her campaign with the foundation? >> of course. ultimately it's number 1 not exactly fair to really classify these two people as clinton surrogates. they are, but they have careers that are completely independent from working for secretary clinton, working for president clinton in the administration. mike espy comes from a huge family. he's well-known in that area. i'm not entirely convinced the democrats can win in mississippi. we haven't seen that happen since 1982 when hailey barber was defeated in mississippi, which is really hard to imagine. and then donna shalala has a career that is independent and done amazing work separate from her work in the administration, which was also fantastic. >> and to nail that message home, when republicans go after her for the clinton foundation connection. >> they may but i think she will stand, again -- we can litigate the clinton foundation all day long. i'm proud of the work that the clinton

had interaction with the russians individuals who wanted outcome and they went and pay the clinton foundationot the outcomes particularly as the uranium one matter. it is unravelled before our eyes, but if we don't pick up the pace in the congress and jeff sessions appoint a special council, it will be like benghazi and the american people will not trust us and we have learned the lack of trust. >>>> lou: it will be just like benghazi and just like the irs work on conservative groups, it will be just you know, and the list goes on. the justice department is you know, like the fbi is involved in every unsolved case in this country. what happened and what happened with the las vegas shooting, the worst massacre in this country's history? it just goes on and on and no accountability and no one fired from the justice department and no one, they demote people to the hr people where they go hire more people like themselves. this is it madness what we are seeing in our government. >> think of the logic. peter strzok had an affair with a co-co-worker and he got put in hr. we have in our constitution

it's likely that he lied in his questioning by the fbi as katie says about a story about the clinton foundation. so i don't know that this has anything to do with the -- the optics will be that people will say, well, trump is punishing mccabe. but i mean -- >> but on the other side, it gives him -- >> you can argue -- you could argue that sessions has the opportunity to be merciful here. i mean, the guy is going to retire in, what, 80 hours. and he could give him his full pension. so leaving this up to jeff sessions, a person whom trump has had a lot of problems with, who seems to always be trying to

after determining he lacked can a door with investigators reviewing the fbi's probe of the clinton foundation. mccabe denies any wrongdoing. laura jarrett has more on the story from washington. >> reporter: for over a year president trump has used an ddy mccabe as a political punching bag but he's now firing bag. in a blistering public statement, mccabe saying in part i'm being singled out and treated this way because of the role i played, the actions i took and the events i witnessed in the aftermath of the firing of james comey and just two hours after mccabe's firing late on friday, a presidential tweet arrived with trump calling it a great day for the hard working men and women the fbi, a great day for democracy. trump went on to say sanctimonious james comey was his boss and made mccabe look like a choir boy. he knew all about the lies and corruption going on at the highest levels of the fbi. but the back story underlying mccabe's termination here is a bit more complicated. cnn had reported earlier this week that mccain i go on wbe wat of a blistering internal review conducted by the yus

she saying he was interviewed by the fbi about the clinton foundation back in december of last year..comes after democrats tried today to damage the credibility of this informant with a smear piece full of selective leaks. it just proves how democrats are scared and they will do anything and everything to protect bill and hillary clinton. by the way, i'd like to remind them they have the right to remain silent. when we come back, the attorney general jeff sessions, he says he is seriously considering the appointment of a a second special counsel as it relates to fisa abuses and of course the clinton email server scandal. president trump's attorney, jay sekulow, reacts exclusively next. ♪ cooling sensatio n in your mouth and throat. n zantac works in as little as 30 minutes. nexium can take 24 hours. try cool mint zantac. no pill relieves heartburn faster. the more you know the the commute is worth it.me, for all the work you pour into this place, you sure get a lot more out of it. you and that john deere tractor... so versatile, you can keep dreaming up projects all the way home. it's

it was a hit job on the clintons' campaign and the clinton foundation. inton loyalist, once again i'm looking up and donald trump hates the fbi, but he hates them for doing something that i didn't like. i can't quite know which jersey to wear, but how about we keep the fbi the hell out of our campaigns. >> so now if jeff sessions does go ahead and fire andy mccabe, now it's okay? the president's going to accept what the department of justice officials have recommended? but before the department of justice was corrupt and we need a special counsel, and we can't trust anything we say, and the ig, who is non-partner, who is doing a great job, who has a stellar record, horowitz, he's not good enough. we can't believe what they say because the fbi is corrupt. we need to have a special counsel. which is it? it's only what fits the president's narrative at the time. >> let's take a quick break. coming up our breaking news, exclusively obtained documents that show a new trump organization lawyer is involved in legal maneuvering in the stormy daniels case. that wh

what he's accused of leak was detrimental to hillary clinton, the clinton foundation and the clintonampaign, just like comey's letter helped elect donald trump. do you fire a guy two days before his retirement because the president of the united states is applying pressure over twitter to do that? judge jeanine: that's just one of the most of outrageous things i heard this week. joining me, governor mike huckabee. morning joyce always good for my outrageous segment. he says andrew mckaibs an upstanding citizen who doesn't deserve to be fired. >> why wouldn't he deserve to be fired if he lied to the fbi and he's part of the leadership of the fbi, of course he has to be fired. the fact that it's coming around the time of his retirement had nothing to do with anything. we shouldn't be on the hook as taxpayers for his retirement if he did what the inspector general said he did and the office of professional responsibility under kaitd he did. he ought to be worried about what happened to martha stewart and mike flynn. if i were mike flynn's lawyer i would go to court and say let my people

is reporting tonight that alexander downer, he helped secure $25 million for funding for the clinton foundationtarting back in 2006. bipartisan lawmakers are telling solomon tonight that downer's ties to the clintons were never previously disclosed to congress. shocking. solomon is also reporting that downer met with bill clinton in '06 and with hillary clinton when she was secretary of state in '09. we reached out to hillary clinton for comment. shocking, she never got back to us. her spokesperson replied to solomon and said that hillary was unaware of possible contacts between her campaign and downer. and a statement that they gave to "the hill," australian's foreign ministry declined to answer questions about whether speech will downer had contacts with clinton around the time we start of the russia investigation. a big report. if you start connecting the dots and you begin to see clinton has her hands in everything here. all the evidence that was used for storage and further the russia investigation all came from cronies and associates, whether people that were being paid by the clintons, o

this past december by the fbi's little rock field office about the clinton foundation's potential involvementdal. oh, where's the rest of the media? take a listen. >> they interviewed me about the clintons several hours, good part of the day. the information that i provided to them about the clintons and about what was said, and confirmed by russian lead ofship, was, seemed to be very important to them. >> sean: what's even more startling, campbell says the information that he gave to the fbi about the corrupt uranium one deal and putin's strategy to control nuclear policy ended up right there on president barack obama's desk. wow. take a look. >> i was assured that the white house also had been toed because of the importance on a national security side, and it was actually a very enthusiastic commendation that i received from the fbi. because my work had resulted in the white house daily brief being handed to then-president obama. >> sean: obama knew it was going on, did nothing? joining us the hill's john solomon. we will have parts two, three and four in the days to come. let me start with

himself from all of this and then said he would not be involved in anything involved in the clinton foundation. >> i have now decided to recuse myself from any future investigations in any matter relating in any way to the candidates of the united states. >> you intend to recuse yourself from both the clinton emails and any matters involving the clinton foundation, if there are in? >> yes. >> was this a violation of that statement? >> 100%. i cannot possibly understand how the attorney general of the united states says he's recused from the clinton foundation investigation but then metes out discipline to one of the investigators in that investigation. it's just nonsensical. the whole point of recusal is to avoid any accusations that you're -- if you're firing one of the investigators, that's quintessential i being involved. >> it i want to turn to james comey, another part of this special. the press conference where he said there would not be charges in the clinton case. >> our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. although the department of justice brings final o

with the confusion about the clinton foundation. host: your colleague has a piece and it is available this morning. saying "the white house is a lackhole." next to that is the reporting of ashley parker from the .ashington post "eight see a president isolated and on edge." they were at the following -- over the weekend, and air of anxiety with an uncontrollable commander-in-chief at his center. in atare the darkest days least half a year and they worry how much further trump and his administration may plunge into unrest and malaise before they start to recover. as one official put it, we haven't bottomed out. inmp is now an official transition, at times angry and isolated. he fumes in private that just about every time he looks at the television screen, another scandal. he voices frustration that jared kircher -- that jared kushner has few on-air defenders. he revives old grudges.

and with respect to not just the clinton foundation, but the uranium one aspect is anyone looking at that, sara? >> yes, they are. >> judge jeanine: who? >> that is part of this investigation.y >> judge jeanine: huber or arkansas? >> huber is looking into this, as well as little rock. it's the fbi field office in little rock, arkansas, . we're still not clear as to why that initiated there. but i can tell you, this judge jeanine, there are five fbi field offices involved in this investigation. the only one we have heard of is the little rock, arkansas, office. but i can tell you there is four other fbi field offices involved in the clinton foundation investigation. >> you know what? i have confidence in the rank and file fbi agents, the field offices, the trouble is at fbi hoover headquarters in washington, d.c. >> judge jeanine: absolutely right. >> top echelon that appear to be quite corrupt. >> judge jeanine: there is no question. it's the worker bees and the fbi doing all the work. i understand, by the way, that memos go out to the field offices to get people to assist in the ark

the clinton foundation investigation.s you know, nicolle, these are absolutely the kinds of conversations that happen all the time in washington. and this report really focuses on whether mccabe was forthcoming in the inspector general about that conversation and a finding of a lack of candor as it's referred to can be fatal inside the fbi. so, he's been recommended for termination. that then goes to jeff sessions who will have an opportunity to review that and review whatever mccabe and his lawyers put forward in their defense and decide whether to fire him. i mean, his last day is essentially friday. he's eligible for retirement, has put in for retirement starting sunday. >> let me read from your article. the article you just talked about was a negative one for the clinton campaign. the article damaged hillary clinton. not mr. trump. it was published just days before the election after the fbi reopened its investigation into mrs. clinton's e-mail practices. the article, including the fbi disclosures, made it clear that

it's outrageous. >> jessica: there have has been ample time investigating the clinton foundation.hey have been and a rating. >> melissa: financing other people who go out into the work. >> jessica: i thought jeff sessions seems to be by the definition of why you would need a second special counsel, to be acting very responsibly, he said you only knew that under extraordinary circumstances. he takes it seriously which is why he appointed. >> lisa: do you also think he is providing political cover huber is because a obama appointee? >> sandra: he was reappointed by jeff jeff sessions. does that give the attorney general covert to take action? >> jessica: with jeff sessions having recused himself from the russia investigation, which i know aggravates a lot of people on the right including president trump himself, he is genuinely trying to do is best in this circumstance to appear to be fair about it but leave the door open to say it is possible. >> lisa: he sounded surprisingly optimistic in that his concerns were eased at least for now. he was pleased that jeff sessions did not clos
