and from the hill, john solomon. john, it's your story.et's get to how the senior doj official had democratic researchers on the russia case. before and after the election. break it down. >> i think you hit it in your monologue just right. we now know that bruce ohr was not just some ancillary figure, he was a central figure, the glue that connected the democratic opposition research effort to destroy donald trump during the election by accusing him of having ties to russia with the justice department and the fbi. he's not just anybody companies the deputy to the deputy attorney general which means the same deputy attorney general sally yates, who signed the fisa warrant, or carter page.ty her man is meaning outside of the fbi with the primary sources that hillary clinton dug up and he is coordinating. then when christopher steele is fired by the fbi, the fbi told him you are no longer suitable as an asset to be a source and you may not gather any more information under the color of the fbi. and what happens, 21 days later? giving it to fb

john solomon, breaking report, you go into great detail.ere we have -- you tied altogether as it relates to this russian oligarch and bruce ohr and steele and department of justice. i'll let you give a summary. >> the fbi had a 10-year relationship with the head of the largest aluminum company in russia. he funded $25 million rescue mission to the fbi to try to rescue a former agent. in 2015, ohr showed up and ask him some questions about organized crime in russia. in 2016, more consequential event. the fbi showed up in september, one month before the fisa application, and they said, we think paul manafort is colluding with russia to help trump win. we now know where they got that information. they got it from christopher steele. that's in the dossier. deripaska says, it's wrong. >> sean: you wrote that collusion occurred. you tell a tale of ohr, steele, deripaska, the fbi and doj. tired altogether so everybody understands completely. >> we talk about any contact with russia must be terrible. the fbi had lots of contact with russians at man

sarah carter and john solomon will be with us tonight. this is another side of the fbi's blatant effort to hide the true nature of clinton's bought and paid for dirty russian dossier. it was compromised. it turned out to be lies. russian lines funded by the clintom campaign and the dnc. they funneled the money through a law firm. hiring fusion gps who fired christopher steele an ex-foreign spy with seedy russian connections who was working for fusion gps and was on the fbi payroll. he was working with bruce ohr's wife, the ohrs were profiting off their relationship with christopher steele. ohr said today he disclosed that to the fbi. really? the fbi was okay with that? now this is where we are. we know for a fact that in 4 separate fisa court applications, fisa court judges were repeatedly lied to. knowingly lied to. the american people, you were all lied to. all in an effort by high ranking government bureaucrats to rob an election and at all costs stop donald trump from winning and then to destroy his presidency. communications between

t joining us from the hill, john solomon and fox news investigative contributor, sara carter. john, we will begin with you. let's talk about the new development. this is massive tonight, a lot of emphasis, go slow, it gets complicated. >> it is. the bottom line is simple though. months after christopher steele was discredited and terminated by the fbi because he has leaked to the media, a major violation of human source intelligence roles, there wasas an effort underway by him with his buddy bruce ohr, at that time a top deputy to rod rosenstein to try to get him back into the fbi's good graces and possibly get him working, reengaged is the word used inn this emails with special counsel mueller. it doesn't appear they ever got to mueller but the mere fact that a senior justice department official was trying to get a discredited artisan intelligence source pass on to the case tells you all you need to knoww about this case. this is not the way counterintelligence is normally done in the fbi. career people that sourcesth carefully, they manage them carefully.y. they double and tr

and john solomon with a story that uncovers damming flaws with george papadopoulos. we will explore the democratic party's hard turn to the left as gubernatorial candidates in 2 states call for universal healthcare and open boards and a tax rate that will make your stomach turn. and we will talk about the booming economy and fake news cnn and florida gubernatorial winner from last night ron desantis will join us to respond to a controversy surrounding comments he made on this channel earlier today. buckle up. time for breaking news, jam-packed opening monologue. yesterday's testimony from bruce ohr blew the lid off the deep state's attempt to cover-up their corruption. we now can tell you the following: first, in 2016, exforeign spy christopher steele was paid by both the clinton campaign fusion gps and by the fbi. steele was paid 11 times by your fbi in the lead up to the 2016 election. in other words, the clinton campaign, the dnc, christopher steele, the fbi were all working on one team. now we also know that steele a fired by the fbi in november of 2016 for lying

tonight, john solomon after the breaking news report, it raises serious concerns about one facet of mueller'sitch hunt, and according to solomon, who will joinbo us, mueller's case againt one-time trump campaign aide george papadopoulos, probably completely bogus. a special counsel has been claiming they want this kid to spend six months in jail. they claim papadopoulos lied about the sinister details surrounding a meeting with a european professor that he knew. they claim papadopoulos was looking for information on hillary's hacked emails. according to solomon's report, the professor they reached out to that also wrote them and confirmed what he said to the fbi, insisted that his contactsa with papadopoulos were innocuous and solomon writes "he went out of his way to tell the fbi there was no talk of sinister cybersecurity intentions such as a plot to attack hillary clinton's emails." as we have previously reported, papadopoulos is considering withdrawing his guilty plea. we reached out to papadopoulos and the fbi and the special counsel. of course we don't get comments. although, i think ge

from "the hill," john solomon. and fox news investigative reporter, sara carter. , let's start with these developments. i have copies but i'm not allowed to show them, am i? >> listen, i have some of these handwritten notes, and unlike buzzfeed and other organization that led to unredacted information out without checking it, i don't think is responsible to put the hand written out until we check the information. >> sean: we know the handwritten notes were written by? >> bruce ohr, that is what congress has been told. and these notes are from a december 11th meeting. let me set the table. it is one month after donald trump donald trump [buzzer] the election, it is one month after christopher steele, the opposition researcher, british and telogen students agency has been fired by the fbi, the democrats are in shock, i'm sure lisa page and strzok are sorting through their feelings after the election. all of a sudden, bruce ohr goes to a coffee shop in washington and he meets glenn slip stimson. christopher steele's boss, the owner of fusion gps, the clinton research

john solomon says that document is the worst intelligence gathering he has ever seen. >> there were threen the trump campaign, manafort got booted, carter page got booted, michael cohen must've been the third. he knows somebody in russia. ohr takes it out, runs to the fbi and does an interview. why is this important? the fbi fired christopher steele and said it could not take any information from this office of research operation, bruce ohr walks in the door after the firing. it concerned the fisa court concerning professional intelligence, people i talked to, look at these notes and said this is the worst form of intelligence gathering we have ever seen. rob: most of the steel dossier remains unverified. jillian: california lawmakers taking up a bill that could make the state the first amended medication abortion as required health service by 2022. is this a good idea or slippery slope for college students? here to discuss is our panel, a student at california state university, radiologist doctor nicole safire and brad nicholas, an attorney. is this a good idea? >> thank you. providing a
