we want to know how far along the f.b.i. went. so we filed with the f.b.i. to get that information, judge, because that's absurd. you had said earlier in the broadcast, it taints everything if the starting point for the unmasking, if the starting point for the special counsel, if the starting point for all of this trump/russia info is really a hillary clinton russian scandal. >> jeanine: clearly. clearly. i mean, people have used this term for the last few days, the whole thing has turned on its head. tom, $50,000, i believe, has gone from the f.b.i. to christopher steele. how do they justify that? is that the correct amount? >> we don't know. and we've asked for the documents, too. in fact, we're already in federal court on it. and the justice department, f.b.i. have told us they can't confirm nor deny whether any documents exist about the dossier or payments related to it. so this is where we stand. everyone is just talking about the f.b.i.'s relationship with christopher steele, but the f.b.i. doesn't want to say anything about it, and now they're going t

while another top aide admits to lying to the f.b.i. so was there collusion between teams wrong and the russians also on the show looking for a legal advice in brussels a belgian lawyer confirms that he's taken on catalonia as a sax president as a client and this as a spanish prosecutors filed charges of rebellion against cattle on leaders and reelected but at what cost kenya's president kenyatta wins ninety eight percent in a repeat vote he says his victory is the will of the people despite opposition boycotts and widespread protests. by bring off it's good to have you with us we start tonight in the u.s. capital washington d. . donald trump's former campaign chief paul man of ford and his associate rick gates are now under house arrest following their indictment in the f.b.i.'s russia investigation both women pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy and money laundering today it was also revealed today that another former trump advisor george have adopted was has pleaded guilty to lying to the f.b.i. about his connections to russia

greetings and salutation f.b.i. i want you to meet hot water yes the f.b.i. has found themselves swimming in hot water again hawk watchers this time for appearing to have their hand once again in the proverbial domestic terrorist factory cookie jar and a fascinating turn of events bruce joyner the security guard who was wounded in the twenty fifteen isis inspired attack on the controversial draw mohammad event in garland texas is now suing the federal bureau of investigation for their alleged involvement in the attack according to a court filing joiners suit argues that the bureau is liable for eight million dollars in damages because the f.b.i. help the terrorists obtain a weapon that was used in the attack by lifting the hold during a background check incited the terrorist attack the site of the terrorist to attack the garland event and even sent an agent to accompany the terrorists as they carried out the attack joiner who was thankfully the only one injured that fateful day when elton simpson and not to be attacked the kurds call well center goes on to al

at the f.b.i. there have been several and i'll remind you hated the f.b.i. had two investigations going on during the presidential election they had one of donald trump and they had one of hillary clinton and the f.b.i. director only publicly commented on one of them he there was a republican there was a f.b.i. investigation of donald trump and his connections to the russians and his campaign's going to be just as rational and my point is that she wasn't wholly honest about this i don't think it's written i hadn't really been certain livery when i was it all due respect to the idea that you were spending time focused on hillary clinton's veracity when we have a president who lies all the time strikes me as not useful she now running for anything she lacerates these facts have been established how can you ever claim the moral high ground if you don't tell the truth anyway i mean i'd say like to be candid with you i think i think if you look like there are people who have done mr meaner crimes who have more honesty than donald trump hillary clinton was not onl

f.b.i. informant will testify and can testify in front of congress about a deal that allowed russian investors to require a lot of american uranium. that deal brokered under president obama. live here in "america's newsroom." good morning. >> sandra: good morning, i'm sandra smith. the green light coming as the investigation heats up. the justice department had required the informant to abide by his non-disclosure agreement and not talk about the deal publicly. now that restriction is gone giving three congressional committees investigating the deal of potential treasure trove of information. president trump comparing the uranium deal to one of the most infamous scandals in washington history. >> i think the uranium sale to russia and the way it was done so underhanded with tremendous amounts of money being passed. i actually think that is watergate modern age. >> bill: peter king spearheading part of that investigation is our guest live in a moment. we start also on capitol hill with peter

never gave its computer service to the f.b.i. after numerous requests the d.n.c. kept its computer servers the most important piece of information in an alleged hack so the n.c. never gave its computer service to the f.b.i. they were allowed on one firm crowd strike and magine of trump said well i'm going to just rely on one for and u.s. foreign policy has to be based on what this corporation states crowd strike had to backtrack on its initial assessment so when you see the intake when you hear the intelligence community say well you know there's an assessment and they're moderately to highly confident there's only three agencies the f.b.i. cia and n.s.a. right the f.b.i. and cia are highly confident the n.s.a. is moderately confident when asked for direct evidence james clapper dianne feinstein maxine waters jackie spear even jay johnson former secretary of homeland security has stated there is no evidence of trump russia collusion there's no evidence the d.n.c. was hacked there's no evidence at all that wiki leaks worked with r

very disturbing is that the f.b.i. outsourced at least on two occasions of crowd strike and with this dossier i mean why does the f.b.i. start doing that kind of thing i've never ever heard of the cia does it all the time i've never heard of the f.b.i. doing this go ahead well the unbelievable aspect of all of this is that the united states government the f.b.i. the n.s.a. the cia the same people who use disclaimers so there are two reports one from the department of homeland security and one from oh d.n.i. they all have disclaimers warranty disclaimers stating the information within these reports accusing trump and wiki leaks should not be taken there's no guarantees with that there's the i should not be taken as fact there's no guarantees within the report. the the reality is that wiki leaks is a publisher the d.n.c. and possessed the e-mails were published they have their sources just like the washington post the new york times have their sources the corrupt words of donna brazil hillary clinton debbie wassermann sc

we're going to go the undercover f.b.i. agent even used his cell phone several feet away from the building to film the secure the building security guard joiner seconds before he was shot by the extremists and then they got a room and got picked up by a girl and pretty hard to really really was over they let him go in the hole was just it's a bizarre crazy story but the crazy thing is to it's not dissimilar from what we've seen before and other of the f.b.i. was setting up somebody to take a terrorism you know we've seen this over and over and over again we've seen all of the f.b.i. traps it's a trap you know you're setting someone up you're giving them the idea joiners attorney trent roberts had told the washington examiner that it seems like it had to have been one or the other just a complete botched operation where the f.b.i. didn't want the attack to actually take place or it's something where they need the attack to take place in order for this guy the agent to advance in the world of isis the air went on to say about

f.b.i. informant who blew the whistle on the uranium deal saying her client was threatened to stay out of public view. that's about to change. you've almost made it, folks. it's friday. >> sandra: actually friday. we thought it was yesterday. we made it. i'm sandra smith. the claims come only a day after the justice department lifted a gag order on the informant allowing him to testify what if any corruption he witnessed as the uranium company sale went down. his lawyer said he is ready to go public. >> it will take him a couple of weeks and i will meet with him and we will prepare and be very organized in how we can make a presentation. then we will meet with committee staff, maybe some members, but certainly it will be low key and it will not be in the public. there will be no big lights. it will be just an introduction between my client and the congressional committee to see what there is. >> bill: the search for answers continues. chris stirewalt out of d.c. good morning to you. do you g

a trump campaign chief turns himself then to the f.b.i. . a key advisor makes a guilty plea as the russia investigation closing in on donald trump's white house . pomona for it was a trump site when the billionaire outsider accepted the republican nomination someone for and show he is said to have one pick trump's vice president mike pence the man just behind him has also been charged flanked by his lawyer he surrendered himself to the f.b.i. on monday the reaction was accused of acting for years as an authorized agent of the pro russian ukrainian government. for there is no evidence that mr mann of fort of the tribe campaign colluded with the russian government even so the judge placed metaphor under house arrest. the white house insists the charges are not definitive evidence of links to russia. we've been saying from day one there's been no evidence of trumped russia collusion and nothing in the indictment today changes that at all but washington was in for more surprises a special prosecutor robert miller's investigation into russian med

the f.b.i. has spent more than a month and a significant amount of money to investigate apprehended obtained blood samples from a couple of papers but these aren't the kind of pigs that take showers in front of their assistants or the pig who covers up for the other pigs who harass lady pigs in the workplace you know these are actual pigs baby pics that's right the f.b.i. is trying to hunt down to six piglets stolen from a smithfield farm in utah by activists from direct action everywhere who were documenting the horrifying conditions of factory farming and it was straight out of the movies the f.b.i. sent six cars filled with agents and bulletproof vests just sees d.n.a. samples from any young pigs to farm animal sanctuaries with no connection to direct action everywhere the state veterinarian who came with the f.b.i. cut nearly two inches from one pig's ear for the test even the f.b.i. agents witnessing it were horrified one let the vet cut off the second pig's ear but it didn't stop there the

out f.b.i. watch list and how we are saying that it's an effective so i like to know from you i do we have these types of watch lesson surveillance programs if they're not able to predict what could possibly happen in the future or stop these attacks like what took place in las vegas from taking place. you know what what is effective is sharing information with the public it's a very simple thing to do if there is some direct threat you share the information and sometimes a member of the public is in the best position to actually stop. an attack like this they may have some clue about a family member etc it's kind of what they say if you see something you know share it with because the government has not been really good at gaining trust of the people i think they've hurt their own efforts in trying to get more information from the public that's really the only thing that's effective these lists are are something it's a busy work exercise and you know millions of dollars into the budgets of our

for example, the f.b.i. reports that russia was actively involved in trying to bribe people over here to its benefit. second what i'm really waiting to see is for mr. grassley to ask mr. sessions why the f.b.i. is not cooperating with congress on these investigations and turning over, for example, transcripts the f.b.i. had from the office of special counsel investigation into james comey, and the hillary clinton matter. and as well as the dossier. the f.b.i. works for the department of justice. it would be nice to hear some questions on those issues. >> same with -- along those lines, the tarmac meeting between the former attorney general loretta lynch and former president clinton. >> look, i think that the oversight hearings, the judiciary committee, this is exactly the mechanism that our constitution provides, that it's the elected representatives of the american people that are there to enforce accountability from our government, from our executive branch. and instead we have special prosecutors and so f

i know f.b.i. agents that are the most honest people i have ever met and we have thousands of them in this country and thank god for them. what did director mueller under his leadership, what happened? the whistleblower that exposed the fraudulent misconduct, he gets run out of the f.b.i. under director mueller. and what happened to the one who fabricated the evidence, fabricated the case, hid evidence that showed ted stevens' evidence? when mueller is director, that f.b.i. agent continued to get accolades and be moved on to investigate some of the most important cases the f.b.i. had. that was director mueller. he also had a policy he created the d the -- an article in "wall street journal" pointed out years ago, ended up destroying or running off thousands and thousands of years of experience from the f.b.i., weakening this incredible investigative body that until mueller got there was the best investigative body in all of america. but after running off thousands and thousands of years of experien

well, robert mueller, former f.b.i. director. he was the former f.b.i. director. gee, wouldn't it have been nice that he said something about that previously. but if he had talked about it previously, he might not -- and i'm sure he would not have gotten an appointment to be special counsel to investigate potential ties of the u.s. government with russia, specifically the trump campaign or the trump support ring, those that were supporting donald trump as candidate. wow. t then again, the deputy general rosen tine might have appointed rosenstein. wouldn't it have been nice if rosenstein or mueller had had ethical fiber and the fiber to say, you know what? the a.g. has recused himself, but actually, i was involved in this stuff back in the owe baum ave administration investigating all this and i had developed opinions, made statements back in those days that weren't public. and mueller had done the same thing. i was the head of the f.b.i. and we were investigating efforts to get in touch with and utilize the hillary clinton foundation. wouldn't have been nice if th

while another top aide admits to lying to the f.b.i. so was there collusion between team drum and moscow also on the show. reelected but at what cost in kenya's president kenyatta wins ninety eight percent in a repeat though he says his victory is the will of the people despite an opposition boycott and widespread protests. i bring it's good to have you with us we begin in washington with a story that is engulfing the u.s. capital donald trump's former campaign chief paul man afford to and his deputy rick gates have pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy and money laundering they were the first indictment stemming from the probe into alleged russian interference in the u.s. election it was also revealed today that another former top adviser george papadopoulos has pleaded guilty to lying to f.b.i. agents donald trump denies any collusion between his campaign team and moscow. the noose is tightening after five months of probing alleged collusion between the trump election campaign and russia special counsel robert muller reveals cha

f.b.i. about his contacts with russia the white house though is deflecting the news saying that none of this has anything to do with donald trump a white house correspondent kimberly helka reports. trump do solemnly swear donald trump has been in office less than a year but this is perhaps the most significant day of his presidency so far on monday two of his former associates avoided handcuffs and turned themselves into the authorities in washington the first is paul mann afford the former chair of donald trump's presidential election campaign the other is rick gates a longtime business associate of matter forts and worked with the white house until march both men appeared in court pleading not guilty to a dozen charges they include conspiracy against the united states also to launder money acting as an agent for a foreign principal providing false statements to investigators and failure to report foreign bank accounts there is no evidence that mr mann of fort with a trunk campaign colluded

the f.b.i. or d. o.j. or both had an open investigation at the time this deal was approved. it had to have approval from several cabinet-level people including secretary clinton. >> we want to know what those arrangements were, what he knows that the public at large doesn't know. and why he had this non-disclosure agreement in the first place. is the f.b.i. trying to not let public know? >> the department of justice is not above scrutiny and not above review. i have great respect for them but they aren't above scrutiny. in 2016 in my opinion left a lot of unanswered questions for the department. >> sandra: congressman tray gowdy involved in almost all of these investigations is standing by. we start with peter doocy live on capitol hill this morning. take us through all of this, peter. >> sandra, the congressional investigation into whether or not bribery or wrongdoing was ignored while the obama administration was selling uranium to russia was announced yesterday but republicans are circulating

the f.b.i. is under fire accused of encouraging a terror attack the accusation comes from a security guard who is taking his case to court bruce joyner was wounded in two thousand and fifteen and in iceland speier terrorist attack targeting the draw mohammed contest in garland texas. both of them had assault rifles came around the back of a car and started shooting at police. cars. now garland could have been a massive tragedy but mr joyner along with other guards and the police managed to stop the terrorists now he wants to get to the bottom of this quite shocking revelation bruce has been a loyal law enforcement officer for most of his life and only seeks the food truth as the f.b.i.'s role in his near death all made that the two thousand and fifteen we did not understand why our own government would not tell us even privately what really happened that day so what does he bases accusations on well for starters the f.b.i. legibly help the terrorists hope to gain weapons by lifting a restriction

new evidence the f.b.i. director, former f.b.i.ed hillary clinton before the email investigation was finished. why would that be? live report on that coming up next. >> sandra: north korea warning that nuclear war could break out at any moment. >> as far as north korea goes, denuclearization is the only way forward. they are not left with nuclear weapons, period. the best simple salad ever? heart-healthy california walnuts. the best simple pasta ever? california walnuts. the best simple dinner ever? great tasting, heart-healthy california walnuts. so simple, so good. get the recipes at walnuts.org. pai'm open to that.medicare? lower premiums? extra benefits? it's open enrollment. time to open the laptop... ...and compare medicare health plans. why? because plans change, so can your health needs. so, be open-minded. look at everything-like prescription drug plans... and medicare advantage plans from private insurers. use the tools at medicare.gov. or call 1-800-medicare. open to something better? start today. ♪ >> bill: isis terrori

and the f.b.i. in that piece the editorial board writes it turns out that russia has sown distrust in the political system aided and abetted by the democratic party and perhaps the f.b.i. this is an about face from the dominant media narrative from the last year and it requires a full investigation. the public deserves a full scope and nature of the meddling in american dossier. do we know, did this surveillance of trump tower that the president has complained about, was that brought about in part by this trump dossier, the steele dossier? >> i don't know the answer to that. some people are raising that question and using that as a reason to point again at what may have been funded or started by democrats on this entire probe. this has become a very political issue. you've got democrats believing largely that the election may have been stolen in part because of russian meddling. you've got republicans now saying this all may have started or at least been partially started because of something that w

at the f.b.i. there have been several and i'll remind you later the f.b.i. had two investigations going on during the presidential election they had one of donald trump and they had one of hillary clinton and the f.b.i. director only publicly commented on one of them he there was a republican there was a f.b.i. investigation of donald trump and his connections to the russians and his campaign is going to be just as rational my point is that she wasn't wholly honest about this i don't think it's written i had to have been certain livery when i was it all due respect to the idea that you were spending time focused on hillary clinton's veracity when we have a president who lies all the time strikes me as not useful she now running for anything she lacerates these facts have been established how can you ever claim the moral high ground if you don't tell the truth anyway i mean i'd say like to be candid with you i think i like him people like there are people who have done mr meaner crimes who have more honesty than donald trump hillary clinton like you gonna do

what are you willing to do if the f.b.i. doesn't comply? mr. ryan: the point of these investigations is to find the truth and make sure if laws are violated or mistakes were made, they're not made again, and transparency is what gets you that. it is our job under article one of the constitution, the legislative branch of government, to conduct full and oversight -- and thorough oversight over the executive branch. that's a real responsibility for congress. this is why we're so frustrated to have learned through the media aspects about this investigation that we've been asking for documents from the f.b.i. for months. and so since yesterday morning, the f.b.i. got in touch with us yesterday afternoon. and they have informed us that they will comply with our document are requests and that he -- document requests and that they will provide the documents congress has been asking for by next week and we expect the f.b.i. to honor that commitment. reporter: on tax reform you did pass the final version of the budget. but more of your members voted aga

we expect the f.b.i.ot be implicated in them and that's the circumstance here. >> steve: how should it affect our understanding of the big arguments, comey firing, hillary clinton. how does it change our thinking about those things? >> the general concern is that the investigation, as it were was biased to help mrs. clinton, but the justice department and the f.b.i. and the most vivid illustration is that loretta lynch met with the witness and maybe in a target in a fair world, bill clinton, a week before that they were supposed to be interviewing hillary clinton on the email matter. and ms. lynch admitted that the media cast a cloud over the investigation, a meeting that we wouldn't have known about but for a reporter figuring it out out there in phoenix, arizona. so it lends further credibility to the teryn that the investigation to hillary clinton was rigged by the justice department, otherwise, why play games? >> steve: what's the next move in this story? are you following other avenues? >> the f.b.i.

and i can now cross lines james conway a former f.b.i. agent and global security training consultant well james thank you very much indeed for joining us this evening well as we've been hearing now isis have claimed responsibility for the attack the f.b.i. there says the shooter has no connections to international terror groups do you think that i asked claimed it just to sophia. well we've seen this in the past and isis does this they claim responsibility for a number of things around the globe because of their desperate situation but there are and it's early in the game the f.b.i. the police will drill down in social media they'll drill down on the subjects who was involved in the shooting they'll drill down on all of his connections email and so forth and they'll make a determination if there was a terrorist ideology behind this but at this point it doesn't appear to be he certainly doesn't meet the profile of an islamic jihad as terrorist one aside from the f.b.i. and there will be other agencies looking to see if there's also a link
