eric: hello everyone, i'm eric shawn. we have not independently confirmed this report with the former attorney for president trump is pushing back on it. telling fox that he served as a very strong witness for the present. ellison barber is live near new jersey where the president is spending the weekend. reporter: a source familiar with the investigation confirms to fox news that don mcgahn did speak with robert miller's team at length on three different occasions. reached out to donald trump current outside legal counsel. so far we've not heard back from them. but john dowd, the former top outside legal counsel told fox news as you said, quote - don mcgahn was a very strong witness for the present. over a dozen sources told "the new york times" that he is cooperating extensively with robert mueller 's team. there were three interviews of the times says don mcgahn described the president's most intimate moments with his lawyers. they say among those moments were donald trump comments and actions with the firing of then f

i'm sandra smith. >> eric: so good to be with you this morning, i'm eric shawn in for bill hemmer.news that the white house has struck a tentative deal with mexico on nafta. president trump tweeting this morning that it could be happening soon. >> sandra: chief white house correspondent john roberts live from the north lawn, what do we know? >> as i walked out of the white house just a moment ago, the pool as it's called which is a small group of photographers and journalists, television cameras were about to go into the oval office for what is expected to be an announcement on some sort of provisional agreement with mexico on nafta. we are also expecting that the u.s. trade representative and mexico's economic minister will be there as well. this is not a full revision of nafta, so let's make that absolutely clear. what they've done is probably little more than tinkering around the edges, but they've rewritten some of the provisions that exist in the deal of the deal with the united states and the mexico relationship that this has nothing to do with the canada side of the relation

eric: is a very good point.s turned into media strategy in a way by being out there and having this. meanwhile in terms of the midterms, and republicans, the wall street journal very tough on this. saying that the so-called red tsunami may not happen. it's like 62 seats are so pointed out that will become more democratic recently. what are your predictions? >> have to say we have someone like lindsey graham was going on saying we are going to lose house seats, hopefully we will not lose the majority but we might. usually politicians like to be optimistic and putting on a good faith because it keeps people in the fold. and some things you've seen in the last week have not been good. give democrats voting more, even if you look at the republicans and democrats, democrats are voting more pretty look at the ohio special election. early voting in that state last time was mostly republicans. this time it was mostly democrats. then you also have to look at fundraising. and republicans are really having trouble fundrais

eric: dino mr.and support for a reason why at least one republican senator should not support judge kavanaugh and block his confirmation as you know there are two gop senators seen a possible swing voters. susan collins of maine, lisa murkowski of alaska. the question is will they suing? >> the reality is judge kavanaugh is a highly qualified nominee and there's nothing in the documents. they haven't found a single thing. >> do you know how many documents were talking about? remind me. >> total scope could be melons. arthel: no, the one senator schumer strength again. >> he wants every single document. that could be seven, eight, nine pages of documents. set to reveal about 800, 900,000 pages which is almost eight to nine times any other nominee. so it's kind of crazy we are talking about stuff you never weighed in on, didn't say anything about because it's a stall talk to. to stall as long as possible. eric: perhaps they are trying to stall is what you're saying. it's a tight game. anything to push

or eric. those are the only possibilities of somebody who's more senior to weisselberg in the organization. would that be true? >> at least in the organization, and it's important that when you give someone immunity and try to keep going up the chain in a prosecution, you don't always succeed. but these are good prosecutors, they know how to do these kinds of cases. it seems unlikely to me that they would have given weisselberg a pass if they didn't think he had value to offer them. >> the benefit of immunity is that i guess you're supposed to tell the prosecutors whatever they want to know or whatever you know, and in exchange for that you can't be prosecuted for the things that you tell them. i'm assuming there may be different flavors of immunity but i guess the point is allen weisselberg can't get out there and plead the fifth. >> you know, there are different flavors of immunity, and they come with some different rights and responsibilities. but one of the important things to remember abo

go ahead. >> well, to eric's point, it is one big club, liz.y an agenda driven media because their only goal really is to make the president and his administration look bad in any way, shape or form that they can. they also said that the president, would not win the election. don't forget that as well. according to media as a research center, 90 percent of the news coverage from january to april of this year was negative against the president and his administration. journalists are supposed to report the truth but unfortunately, it is not what they are doing. elizabeth: i hear what you're saying.eric, let me back up. the president has oversold things. he has misstated things. for example he said the republican tax cuts are the biggest in history.they are not. their ranks behind the one done by ronald reagan, for example. we see him do it time and time again. we understand and report on it. but to her point, what she is saying the president has had policy victories. go ahead, eric. >> absolutely. and she is right and that point. what is most i t

more of this let's bring in eric randolph is the tehran correspondent for good morning eric we just saw there what it is potentially at stake for iran but let's back up a little bit you know what impact will these sanctions actually have china india even the e.u. say that they will now essentially ignore them will they be that severe in their impact. a lot of the damage has already been done because the aggressive rhetoric from trump over the last year or more had spooked investors has prevented foreign. companies from from do business head on the rules if you were to run on the currency in recent months the senior news hop it's about so that was already having an effect sanctions well some industries that came in today the real damage will probably come in november when the second wave of sanctions targets the oil sector which is obviously vital to ron's economy though some countries like say china or india in turkey have said that they can't cut or use this from iran too much. so there will be a bit of a buffer but that will be when the worst damage is this folks ok so so we have a wi

'apparently sprinted right over. in addition last night is, lanny davis told us on this show that michael also has information about the president potentially having advance notice of the criminal hacking that happened during the campaign in which russian government hackers attacked democratic party computers to wreak havoc and steal information used to help trump win the election. we don't know what
