john roberts live in paris where the president earlier marked bastille day with his french counterpart. anything we're learning about the new revelations, john?

john roberts confirmed there was an eighth person in that meeting. we don't know. there may have been more. there may have been an eighth. jared kushner filled out his form. it's an f-86 saying who he met with and what he had done. very important stuff. you can go to prison for messing it up intentionally. he went back and added 100 names and places. none of these people made it. still not -- we're still not clean on this, chris. if there's nothing there and that's what they tell us, they tell us there's nothing to this and nothing came of it, a nothing burger, it wasn't memorable. didn't tell you about it because it wasn't anything so i didn't even remember it with a russian interpreter in the room at trump tower. if all of that, why all of these lies? why is it lie after lie after lie? if you clean, come clean. my grandmother used to say when first we practice to -- oh, what a tangled web when we practice to deceive. the deception, chris is mind boggling. there's still people out there that believe we're making it up. one day they're going to realize we're not. l

cheryl: john roberts, john, thank you so much. lea: too many parades to count like that. i couldn't help to sit and watch the parade in the background and we know u.s. troops were in the parade. great to see them out there. cheryl: washington post is implementing a new policy concerning the behavior of employees on social media. lea: tracee carrasco joins us now with more on the story, good morning, tracee. tell us about this. tracee: good morning, ladies. washington post owned by amazon ceo jeff bezos has implemented a controversial new employee policy that prohibits conduct on social media that, quote, adversely affects customers, 9, venders, suppliers and some cases post management reserves the right to take disciplinary including termination of employment. all of this first reported by the washingtononian. it's work to go revise it. the policy went into effect on may first, applies to the entire company. a spokesperson for the post tells us jeff bezos was not part of the executive team that determined the policy of this policy. perhaps a move, criticism of the post as

john robert thank you. for more, let's bring in fox news editor he is the editor of the half time report. let me ask you about this scene we're watching here. it is amazing to me. whether it is g20 or g8, this entire crew comes out. he see these really overwhelming protests. what do you make of it? >> reporter: of course, right question for the protesters would be, would you not like the leaders the largest economies in the world to gather together to talk about peacefully conducting trade rather than fighting bloody horrific wars. is that the plan? in 1999 we saw in seattle, when the world trade organization came to town was boring matter of course meeting. when they gathered, the first of these -- these are riots. these are violent acts. people are intending to not make a statement but to disrupt the peaceful assembly of other people. we saw this in 1999. since then, every time the g8, g20 or g whatever, every time there's a gathering of this, especially as it relates to trade or commerce, economic freedo

john roberts live in paris where the president earlier marked bastille day with his french counterpart. anything we're learning about the new revelations, john? >> one thing we know about the revelations, they're very convoluted and difficult to straighten them out. first of all, you have the russian-american lobbyist. he does hold a u.s. citizenship. he's a colleague of the lawyer working certain individuals for russian sanctions. while we're told the man is a member of the soviet military from 1986-88, he was never trained in counter intelligence. he does not hold any water. now we're learning, shep, that he may not have been the only person in that room that we don't know about. allen feterfass told me earlier today he has spoken to another person who says that he was in that room, another russian american, who he says is a u.s. citizen as well and has no ties at all to the russian government or russian intelligence. the question that we have, what were the two individuals doing in the room. were they part of the lobbying effort, were that there to help interpret? i've gotten variou

john roberts? >> people are asking, neil, but the way it went down, john kelly was named the white house chief of staff on friday. over the weekend, he said look, i have chain of command. the person that is the communications director does not fit within that chain of command because he had a direct line of access to the president. so over the course of the weekend and this morning, anthony scaramucci said let's clear the decks. let me go back to the xm back and let john kelly have his clean slate to put his own team in there that's the way it's coming down. we don't know if it's because of the chain of command and kelly wanted to make a change there or if it had something to do with the interview that scaramucci gave last week, the profanity-laced interview that he gave with the correspondent from that one publication. clearly john kelly likes to run a tight ship. if he's got somebody out there who he believes is a bit of a loose cannon, not to say he was, he probably will want to reign that person

first the chief white house correspondent john roberts out of the briefing and with us on the north lawn. what did the white house say moments ago, john? >> you pointed at the top of it, shep, the president is frustrated with what happened last night and is what going on today. frustrated from a couple of stand points. he's frustrated that republicans have been talking about repealing obamacare for seven years now. he gave them an opportunity to repeal and replace it with something else, something better he says. and they're not taking him up on the offer. sarah luck have huckabee sanders saying the president believes if the republicans were after this for as long as they have he thought it would have moved faster than they have in congress. the other thing the president is us from freighted at is democrats, he has had no help from democrats. not that you expect any with the type of bill the republicans are pushing. sara huckabee sanders saying democrats got us into this mess and they want nothing to get out of the mess. the president talking about this, a short time ago as he met with v

. >> and now to john roberts travelling with the president. john, work backwards for us here. start with the administration's spin coming out of the meeting with china as they sort of wrap up the summit. >> there hasn't been any since the meeting. let's look ahead to the trip back to the united states. we expect that three top administration officials, gary cohn, the president's chief executive advisor, national security advisor, and steve mnuchin, treasury secretary will come back to the press cabin and address what happened during the meeting with president xi. we know going in the president's rhetoric has become much more strident against china. he believed, the president, believed he had a partner after the meeting. and president trump thought it should have been going down because he believed that they should put the squeeze on pyongyang. and after the bilateral meeting with president jinping. >> the very substantial problem that we all face in north korea, a problem that's-- created a big issue for the united states now because over the years, over a long period of time,

we will go to chief white house correspondent john roberts who has more. john?y quickly in the space of 24 hours. anthony scaramucci was at the white house yesterday talking to the president, the subject of the communications job came up. the president said hey, i like you. you are a great guy. you are very loyal. i like the way you get out there and you battle. the president referring to the battle that

we're going to start with chief white house correspondent and also an all star, john roberts. john, huge day. it's. >> melissa, good afternoon to you. it's been 22 days since we've had in on camera briefing and longer than that simply been been in this briefing. doing lab reports. we understand the anthony scaramucci will be coming out to greet the press. sarah huckabee sanders will actually conducting the meeting but anthony scaramucci is no stranger to people who watch fox business network. as well, he took some time off to work the transition when he worked with the trump transition to try and get things up and running. he was bringing in a lot of special guest. he was bringing in a lot of members to meet the cabinet including betray to mack -- want to come back to the white house to look like he had a big job that might've been akin to the job in the administration. that didn't happen. he went into the white house and went to the bank and now he'll be right inside the west wing here, and he will be the new white house communications director. it's been a bit of a bloodbath

. >> meghan: chief white house correspondent john roberts is traveling with the president and joins us live from hamburg. >> meghan, good afternoon, good evening from hamburg. the fact that this bilateral meeting is still going on is significant. this was originally planned more as an elaborate pull aside that might last a few minutes, but the two leaders have been in there talking for more than an hour in what appears to be a very intimate setting. at just the president of the united states, the president of russia, and their secretaries of state, or foreign ministers. when you get into a situation like this where there is only the two leaders in their chief deputies in the diplomatic front talking comey can actually get some things done. you mentioned there are a lot of issues between the two leaders that need to be talked about. some that need to be resolved and some elephants of the room that need to be aired as well. i don't know how much of that they're getting into, particularly this idea that russia's alleged interference in the u.s. election, but certainly on issues like syria

just moments ago, we go to john roberts with the very latest this evening. good evening, john. >> good evening to you. this is why the task that anthony scaramucci is about to undertake is so important. you've got first of all president who takes himself off message regularly. close things like obamacare and made america out of the water. now there's a headline in "the washington post" tonight that the attorney general jeff sessions, according to another leak from the intelligence agency, contrary to what he has said in public was heard on these intelligence intercepts the having conversations with the russian ambassador to the united states, surrogate kissed leah, about the trump campaign they had said previously that he had met with him and talked only as a u.s. sent senator. this new leak has him talking about the campaign and about u.s.-russia policy, and how that might change. that's going to be a big headache for scaramucci as he comes in. it's also going to be a headache for sean spicer, the current press secretary, because he is hanging around until t

there it was. >> neil: thanks, john roberts, working very hard in paris. know, interesting weird thing with this. the fact that the president deliberately reaching out and vice versa to the french and maybe not the germans. what's going on here? >> the relationship with the germans and angela merkel has cooled down considerably. let's be honest. donald trump and emanuel macron are similar in many ways. political revolutionaries, swept away old style establishment, the pair of them when they came to power and there are some similarities. macron is a centrist. he's not a far right conservative. but compared to holland, the previous president, who was a staunch socialist and had a disastrous time in office, mr. macron is talking about tax cuts for the wealthy, is unheard of in france. maybe some will some back from exile in russia. who knows. macron trying to loosen up the rich and labor laws in france. these are things that donald trump would agree with. on some level, they're similar. >> neil: thanks very much. some good news to report to you concerning con

heather: john roberts is live in paris with some more. john?er, rob, good morning to you, this parade has got about a half an hour left on this bastille day. they are just about to begin the helicopter flyover as the helicopters are coming over. president trump seems to be enjoying himself this morning. he is the guest of honor here. had an opportunity to review the first contingent of troops that came down the street. 200 american service members led by five service members in the traditional uniforms of the first world war because today's bastille day in part commemorates the 100th anniversary of the united states entering world war 1. which was a decisive moment in world war i. helping to liberate france. the president yesterday had bilateral meeting with the french president macron. common grounds and disagreement between the two. common ground over issues like security in syria. the points of departure were mostly over climate and the united states' intention to withdraw from the paris climate accord. after that bilateral meeting, the two

spill on our own john roberts has confirmed that the name of that person in the trump tower meeting,aveladze. he worked for a russian billionaire real estate development developer with ties to both president trump and vladimir putin. >> the level of credibility from the senior levels of this administration is suspect. >> jon: president trump calling the russian meeting politics as investigators are raising more questions. >> i think it is one of the worst deals i have ever seen. we are looking at it very strongly. to make that deal is insane. >> jon: the u.s. re-certifies

chief white house correspondent john roberts starts us off from warsaw. >> good evening. stakes for the second foreign trip for president trump are higher now that north korea tested an intercontinental ballistic missile, ramping up the urgency terrain in the kingdom. as he left the white house bound for warsaw, president trump president trump sounded an optimistic note about rallying world sport against north korea. in public pronouncements, north korea's closest neighbor, china, appeared to be saying the right thing. >> translator: china opposes the launch of missiles by north korea in violation of the u.n. security council resolutions. we urge the north korean side to stop taking actions that violate united nations security council resolutions and create the necessary conditions for the resumption of talks. >> the president made it clear he believes china has been saying one thing and doing another. on twitter, pointing fingers. "trade between china and north korea grew almost 40% in the first quarter. so much for china working with us - but we had to give it a try!" a

are we ready for john roberts. he is joining us now out of wars warsaw.dent just arrived in warsaw. i imagine, now, there will be a lot of tense times in meetings, not so much with this opening event in warsaw, where the president is quite popular, but how is this all fanning out? >> reporter: i think what you're going to see tomorrow, because the president doesn't have any meetings tonight, it is about 20 minutes after 10 local time, so he is going to get to the hotel. but start early tomorrow morning, he has meetings with ondrej duda, the recently elected president of poland and the two of them share a lot when it comes to political ideology. populist leaders, they want to place the interest of their nation first. not necessarily to go it alone. but i always make sure that any of the policies are oriented in a way, neil, that is the best benefit to the people of their nation. while the two of them will get along quite well, and he has that speech at the square tomorrow, we'll talk about that in a second, but he is meeting with the leaders of the 12 coun

lou: john roberts from the white house.utgoing press secretary sean spicer telling our sean hannity why he resigned. that interview airs tonight. he started sharing the podium with sarah huckabee sanders, anthony scaramucci comes in. did you feel this was against you? did you feel you were pushed out in any way or was this totally your decision? >> the president wanted to add to the team more than anything. i just think it was in the best interest of our press organization not to have too many cooks in the kitchen. lou: you can watch sean hannity's interview with sean spicer and reince priebus tonight at 10:00 on the fox news channel. the. fox news chain of tell jones correspondent catherine herridge has our report. >> they love to stick it to america. reporter: mike pompeo said russia is work against the u.s. he also cast doubt on russia's commitment to crush isis in syria. >> do you see evidence that russia has worked to crush isis. >> only minimal. reporter: he was a staunch critic of the nuclear deal with iran. now pomp

john roberts is at the white house, but we begin with peter doocy on capitol hill. >> the majority leader the white house has more time to pitch repeal and replace two republican senators who may be skeptical. that includes this white house lunch that they are going to depart the capitol for about a half hour from now. we were just inside one of the office buildings catching up with a few of the republicans and asked them how they think this lunch could possibly advance repeal then replace. >> i'm not going there to make demands, i'm going to listen to see how we can find common ground. >> hopefully he's going to be persuasive and let the people know that republicans refuse to vote. that means therefore obamacare and they have to understand that and hopefully that message gets across. >> i think the president and vice president are so committed to moving forward to try and improve the health care system. that's a very helpful thing. we'll see what that produces, but it can't be harmful. >> a source close to mitch mcconnell says he is ready to bring a repeal vote to the floor, even if he k

john roberts at the white house. they chatted it at this meal. we didn't know about it, only a russian interpreter. that was unusual? >> i don't know that it's, to be completely honest with you, shep, i don't know it's that unusual. a lot of people make it out to be. i've been to the g20s, g7, g8, sum of it of the americas. the leaders chat with each other, of the same way as people do when they go to the white house correspondent's dinner. no one is sitting down eating. only allowed to have one interpreter per couple, that was the president and melania trump. their interpreter was chosen to be somebody who spoke english and japanese, the president was near the prime minister of japan and melania trump was seated next to putin, it seems that the president would likely go over and say hello to his wife and likely have a conversation with putin. they talked about it, news is just breaking in the "washington post," the president has decided to end the cia program of arming moderate syrian rebels. that is something that russia was looking for. so did

let's bring in john roberts.heir life. >> you've been talking about the talking about the anticipation of this bilateral meeting since he got this back in january and all of the expectations that are swirling around this and the issues that are swirling around it as well. yesterday the president came out quite forcefully in that speech to the polish people in warsaw at krasinski square saying that russian's actions in the eastern part of ukraine, crimea art destabilizing. rex tillerson said that russia needs to decide whether or not it will continue to back bashar al-assad. there are a couple issues that the leaders can have sharp disagreements. at the same time, it does appear to be some room for common ground. one of those areas of common ground could potentially be in syria because the u.s. and russia and that these lines that are called deconfliction to ensure when the military is operated that they don't run into each other. after some recent developments there, russia said that it would take down the hotlin

we want to go to our john roberts. simon, mercedes, thank you very much.roberts, you're outside the white house, obviously. what have you been able to learn? >> reporter: this comes as a surprise to a lot of people. anthony scaramucci was only recently installed at the behest of president trump and over the protestation of steve bannon. we saw what happened last week between the friction between anthony scaramucci and previs. now scaramucci. now they have confirmed that john kelly, who is the new incoming chief of staff requested to kind of clear the decks and scaramucci looks like is now going to go back to the ebbing port/import bank where he was working before. he was also in line to be the ambassador to the organization for economic cooperation and development in paris. we don't know if that nomination will now go ahead. but we do know he's going back to the export/import bank. we do not know, does this mean sean spicer is going to stay? the whole hierarchy of the communications shop at the white house, harris, was changing. sean spicer was going to be

john roberts mentioned this a minute ago. we just in our e-mails here at the fox news channel, we received excerpts from this. in it the president talked about putin and hillary clinton. he said "there's many things that i do are the exact opposite of what he would want" meaning putin. "so what i keep hearing about that he would have rather had trump, i think probably not because when i want a strong military, you know, she meaning hillary, wouldn't have spent the money on military." so says donald trump. so far no indication that pat robertson asked about his son's meeting with the russian lawyer. we'll bring you other major developments as we get them from that interview. we understand video is coming as well. if a foreign government offers up information on your political opponent, you might want to call a lawyer. the feds would like to know about it as well very quickly, as a matter of fact. that from president trump's pick to run the fbi in his confirmation hearing today. so if russia calls, calls the fbi. christopher wr

john roberts with our report. reporter: donald trump has never liked to lose, last night he had the rug pulled out from under him. >> i am disappointed. very disappointed. reporter: failure of push to repeal and replace obamacare blind sided president trump, frustration showing with his lunch. >> for 7 years i have been hearing repeal and replace from congress, loud and strong, we get a chance, they don't take advantage of it. reporter: and vice president weighed in, he is main conduit between the white house and congress, today the lines of communication were on fire. >> inaction is not an option. congress needs to step up, do their job, and do their job now. reporter: news that senator lee and moran conspired to kill the measure came ar th after the president had a dinner. >> they were not disloyal, they have their own reasons, i was surprised when the two came out last night, we thought they were in good shape, but they did, everyone has their own reason. reporter: after conferring with mcconnell, president tru

john roberts is traveling with the president, he's in hamburg and has our report. >> reporter: late into the night, we hear the sounds of sporadic flash-bang grenades as police are dealing with troublemakers out on the streets of this city during the g20 summit. economic summits have long drawn the attention of protesters and some people simply bent on causing trouble, but it has been a number of years since we have seen what ripped the streets of hamburg today. police in riot gear fought running skirmishes with violent groups in hamburg firing tear gas and water cannons to disperse the crowd. part of a building appeared to be set on fire. clouds of thick smoke billowing into the sky. police expect a core group of 5,000 to 8,000 people to cause trouble during the summit. those who came to legitimately demonstrate and a number close to 100,000 have been noisy but peaceful. far from the protests which will likely have no impact on the g20 leaders, president trump met with german chancellor angela merkel. merkel appeared critical of the president's intention to pull out of the paris climate

. >> john roberts on why the appointment of a new white house communications director did not sit wellith sean spicer. >> reporter: a shakeup in the communications team was expected but the speed that marked the transition was a surprise. former head branch manager anthony scaramucci was named communications director and sean spicer resigned. >> he wanted to bring the folks in to help wrapup the communications operation. after reflection my decision was that i give anthony and sarah a clean slate to start from >> reporter: the transition happen in less than 24 hours. scaramucci talk to the president who said he wanted him to take over communications. after a night of opposition from steve bannon and chief of staff scaramucci came to the white house this morning were the president gave him the task of writing about the listing ship . >> what is the first thing you're going to change to try to write this ship? >> the ship is going in the right direction and -- direction. i'm an incremental list. what good entrepreneurs do is that they start the day and the go through the process. >> repo

>> john roberts is a conservative and is an institutionalized with a deep feeling about the court and its place in the constitutional system and while he said a lot that was nonsense about being in partial to call balls and strikes and no one is going to go to the stadium to see the umpire to go to watch him play. john roberts said he deplored the lautner era and said that without the court into disrepute so i think interestingly in the obamacare case, and he clearly didn't like obamacare and he didn't like the statute he thought that it was unconstitutional he was willing to sustain it in the power because he thought otherwise they would be invalidating a signature piece of legislation of the new obama administration and he didn't want to put the cork in that position, so the court has to depend on its legitimacy on public acceptance of the decisions and the polls show when the court is perceived as a court of law and interpreting the constitution even when people disagree with the decisions they have confidence in the court and rule of law but when the court is perceived as being pa

john roberts is live in warsaw. john? >> melissa, good afternoon to you or good evening here from poland. the president expected to land in about 2 1/2 or 3 hours. he's got a full slate of activities on hand here in warsaw. the big meeting of the week, i don't think there's any way to say this other than it's going to be the event of the week is when he meets with russian president vladamir putin. of course, the president has during the campaign and as president advocated a more constructive president with the russian leader. that's something that gives many of our european allies heart burn. even here in poland because poland shares a border with part of the russian federation and also home to russia's baltic fleet. the president acknowledging russia's behavior in destablizing this region does make it difficult to forge a better relationship. when it comes to the g-20 summit, two big topics of conversation will be trade. with all of those economies trying to figure out a way you can do it and make it fair. there's a big

we are joined by john roberts. what's the latest? >> we did plumb the depths a little bit, a more aggressive trying than it normally does to get something out of sarah huckabee sanders. but we did. looks like the reasons for scaramucci's departure were twofold. he was outside the chain of command the way john kelly saud. he had a direct line to the president and he had made it very clear when he is hired by the president a week ago last friday that one of the things he'd asked for and received in the job was to not report to the chief of staff but directly to the president. john kelly said if i'm going to be the chief of staff, everybody reports to me. that means everybody. sarah huckabee sanders confirmed that everybody at the white house, including ivanka trump and jared kushner report to the chief of staff. steve bannon as well. the communications director reports to general kelly. that was one problem scaramucci had. he was outside that chain of command. the other problem was the interview he gave to lizza, thought the conversati
