, this hill investigation, as well, was moving too slowly. this was earlier this week. they had the meeting on monday, of course, the firing happened yesterday. but, john, this is simply going to fuel the fire here, raise more questions that as immediately after the fbi director asks for more funding for this investigation, he's fired. >> jeff zeleny, a busy day at the white house. i want to note that the department of justice is denying that, cnn's reporting. "the new york times" also reporting that director comey had asked rod rosenstein, saying he needed more money, more resources for his russian campaign meddling investigation. the justice department is denying that. but we are told by sources on capitol hill and "the new york times" is reporting this as well. we'll continue to track that. before we get to the panel, cnn's manu raju live on capitol hill. manu, leader mcconnell waved off any calls for new, more independent investigation. is that the final word or are there any cracks in the republican resolve? >> reporter: john, there are

concerning a lesion on his face that hill believes could be cancer. >> it's scary. it's scary. a little age on you, you start seeing things like this, i wonder where it's going to lead. this -- it's kind of scary. >> judging from the appearance of the thing, and the time line and everything, i -- and the location, i'm going to say that looks like a small basal cell carcinoma. it's a type of skin cancer usually found in the center part of the face. ultraviolet light from the sun is the chief offender there. some people come in and you need a cart to carry their chart. mr. hill has a chart that, despite the number of years he's been in the system, it's probably no more than a half an inch thick. which tells me that he is more likely to minimize and ignore something of import than he is to come in complaining of something that's trivial. this is early enough we're not going to have any problems with it. we'll just get it taken care of now. will it come back? this is the result of many years in the sun. >> right. >> and there's a whole lot more of you saw the sun than just that one

the hill get ahead of or otherwise interfere with mueller's investigation. i suspect once mueller staffs up and get his head around how he wants the investigation to proceed he'll have serious conversations with people on the hill saying in some cases you might need to stand down on the hearing and not interrogate the witnesses because i need to speak to them first. >> jason chaffetz was on the "today" show and i want to play you something he said and the go your reaction. i found it interesting. >> i don't know i would have necessarily done that. i have not seen evidee of actual collusion and does beg the question, why do they need a special prosecutor? what are they trying to prosecute? >> somebody who knows the doj, tom, what do you think, was a special prosecutor, special counsel warranted? >> i think it was a smart decision. strictly speaking legally were they compelled to do this? no, they weren't but at the same time right now the whole russia thing is spiraling out of control for the white house and i think they saw this as an opportunity to clear th

you will see that this is highly politicized on capitol hill. a lot of democrats calling for special counsel or a special investigative committee. caller: the democrats have whined and cried about anything trump does. nobody takes them seriously anymore in my opinion. this is hurting the country and makes us all look stupid. guest: i think that firing the person leading the investigation doesn't clear anybody's reputation. come the collar said that -- the caller said that comey had plenty of time to investigate trump. 110 days? guest: look how long the republicans spent to investigate benghazi. caller: my comment for this comey wasi feel like used and dumped by trump. what james comey did 11 days to the election, and afterward, he said there is nothing in the email, nothing in the computer, the republicans were happy about that. afterwards, they had achieved their goal and they dumped him. is not credible on the part of the white house to say they are firing mr. comey because he mishandled the clinton email investigation when they praised the wa

thank you on the hill.nnon has more now. >> shannon: fox news senior judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano. so many things we could talk about here. let's start with the fact that yesterday the f.b.i. director was very emotional and sort of passionate and forthcoming and really making a defense for himself on some of these decisions he made along the way. do you think it was too much over sharing? >> well, his job is to keep certain things below the radar screen. one of the things he is supposed to keep out of the public domain is the status of criminal investigations. federal rules of criminal procedure, the justice department internal regulations, the f.b.i. internal regulations say if a person is not going to be charged you don't release all the evidence against them. so when he made his statement on july 5, we don't think hillary clinton should be indicted because no reasonable prosecutor would take the case, that's not a decision for him to make. he is not a prosecutor or the attorney general. the h

david: we want to head to capitol hill now for our tax reform -- had to capitol hill.ow is this likely to go over on the hill? hike is an old chestnut that has been around for a long time and it keeps coming up periodically every few years, when someone or the other is looking for a way to fund infrastructure. go anywhere.ally it's a supported by the vast majority of republicans or the conservative base that powers the party. paul ryan said as early as -- recently as 2015 that they would not be doing that and it's not clear that anything has changed. unless the president and the white house make an -- make a grid -- make a vigorous, aggressive push, i don't see the change and it's not clear that the president will. david: you have been studying that one page coming up from the white house let -- last week about tax reform. ,hat we heard from gary cohn these reforms were geared towards the middle class. how truthful is that? the more you look into it, the less clear it is what it would do for the middle class. it's ambiguity. we don't know the income brackets that that

but the fallout on capitol hill and across this town is swift. republicans joining democrats in their criticism of this. yes, many of them on both sides had deep questions about the fbi's handseling of the election last year, particularly the e-mail server of the clinton campaign of hillary clinton. but republicans on capitol hill also have deep questions about the timing of this firing. the white house acknowledging it did not do, you know, a good enough job explaining it. were caught flat footed a bit. today at the white house no doubt more questions about this as the firing of james comey, the fbi director enters its second day here. >>> jeff zeleny with a very long night at the white house. the source with knowledge of the president's decision to fire comey tells cnn the move was being considered for days. one final straw errors in his testimony to congress leading the president to believe he lost credibility. the fbi clarified comey's testimony hours before he was fired. >> white house facing enormous backlash. senior administration official

james comey testified on the hill last week before the senate judiciary committee and was asked about that and he said, look, we will stick to our normal practice, we will not provide details about what is going on with an active investigation. there has been reporting in the last 24 hours from cnn that they had issued grand jury subpoenas to michael flynn regarding some of his business contacts. but at this point, we really don't know how far along investigators are, and when we can expect some kind of resolution to that broke. host: is there -- location that we might hear more from fbi director -- is there any expectation that we might hear more from former fbi director james comey? to have been calls to get him on capitol hill to get the status of that investigation at the time he leaves the department. >> that is the next big question, when do we hear from james comey. he was set to testify on thursday before the intelligence committee on a worldwide threat hearing. it is very unlikely he will be making that appearance. but i think you are going to see a lot of pressure from democ
