here's fox's kevin cork. >> reporter: senior administrative official bristle at the fact that a lot of people out there in particular in israel are suggesting that the us was behind orchestrating that us security council resolution and vote. prenavite white house press secretary eric schultz mincing no words saying in a statement the us did not draft this resolution, nor did the us introduce this resolution. the egyptian partnership with the palestinians are the ones who began circulating an earlier draft of the resolution. egyptianings moved it forward on friday and we took the position that we did when it was put to vote but israeli leaders continue to publicly accuse the administration of having orchestrated the vote condemning israel sediment construction and some critics here in the us are calling down right undemocratic. >> we have rather iron clad information from sources in both the arab world and internationally that this was a deliberate push by the united states and the fact they helped create the resolution in the first place. and so it's deeply disappointing that this has

kevin cork is at the white house. with the president's push for some answers, and what spurred this decision. but first, catherine herridge on a controversial effort to try to give the federal government more say in voting security. good evening. >> reporter: tonight a u.s. government official said the designation is under consideration. no announcement is imminent. new controversy unfolds over a mysterious hacking attack on a state election system. as the campaign entered its final phase, the homeland security department offered resources to secure voting machines and voter registration databases. georgia's secretary of state was among a small group who declined the help. >> i was criticized quite a bit about that. but what they were offering was really out of the box corporate solutions that some states needed. we did not because we were already using our own solution. >> reporter: on election day, the homeland security department did not report unusual cyber activity. according to this letter to homeland security s

we're going to check in with kevin cork who is traveling with the president. we're getting reaction now from the white house about a report that 35 russian diplomats could be getting kicked out of the united states. >> it is broader than that. we want to be careful with the idea of removing diplomating staff from a nation. we heard about harassment of diplomats abroad. this is all part and parcel to a larger issue accusing the russian government of cyber hacking. i have ordered a number of actions against those who are harassing officials. . we have issued actions to the russian government and the necessary and appropriate response to harm the international norms of behavior. i won't read it all to you, but it talks in great length about some of the ideas of russians that were behind the cyberer attacks of the u.s. election for 2016, and as we have been confirming, that means a number of russian diplomats will be moving on from american facilities here in america including one in new york and one in maryland that will be shuttered. we'll keep following the sto

kevin cork is traveling with the president in hawaii and kevin, i don't need to tell you how much i ams. but why is the president spending time about hacking? is it source grapes or something more? >> well, i think it is a terrific question. yes, and no is the answer. sour grapes, probably a little bit. no one on the democratic side of things would have predicted the election. but the bigger picture. underlying threat to the democracy of this country and elections moving forwardment and the president talked at length about that in the white wheat. he described the treatment of his party's nominee in that process and not careful to say it was determinative of the outcome. >> she's worked tirelessly on the american people and i don't think she was treated fairly in the election? the coverage of her and the issues was troubling. >> reporter: he said troubling. and what he's really getting at, there was a lot of energy in the room that was expended talking about the various hack be and week by week wikileaks watch that the media did, he felt like that did not focus on the role issues. the

kevin cork in honolulu. great runup to this story. think people at home have to sort of step back for just a second and take all in. a great job by you. effectively what we're talking about is 72 hours for nearly three dozen russian diplomats to get out of the u.s. that's what the white house has been hinting at. so that news has come down today, to say nothing of the fact rich ed around reported this is also in response to high level and consistent harassment by u.s. officials in russia. our diplomatic corp has been harassed. let me share a part of the president's statement in reaction to the russian hacking and this disclosure that officials will be hitting the road from the u.s. the president saying: these dat dark theft could only have been directed by the highest levels of the russian government. and our diplomats have been harassed over the last year. such activities have consequences. today i ordered a number of actions in response and says these actions are not the sum total of our responses. some will not be publicized. and i

kevin cork, white house correspondent extraordinaire. >>> in the meantime, how would now you -- you to liar in a swank where hotel, and anyone is assuming they must work at some hedge fund or maybe fox business and come to clock, these are irs guys. they're the ones racking up the bill. and you are the ones paying it. >>> all right. big on our dime. $1.4 million worth of travel bills that ireye-popping considering they're coming from the irs. trace gallagher is here to spell it out. what's going on here? >> reporter: well, the irs is good at both collecting and spending taxpayer money. the senate finance committee report, found that in 2015 just 27 irs employees spent more than $1.4 million on travel. that breaks down to about 52,000 per person. the biggest problem is that many irs executives don't live where they primarily work, which is against government policy. so they spend 125 business days a year on the road, and it appears those executives like to go in style. spending tens of thousands of dollars living in high-end hotels for months at a time. we're talking about lengthy stays

and homeland security that we heard from kevin corke about. he says it lacks specifics. is that because they don't hav them or because they can't tell us? >> i think it's largely because they worry about making public information that would compromise sensitive sources and method. that's the intelligence community's typical response. but give where we are here, i think president trump once he's in office should consider seriously releasing more information. what we have got now is such confusion and politicalization of the intelligence services by obama that it's undercutting trust and confidence in our electoral system and intelligence as well. we'll have to try to do what we can, whatever the conclusion is president trump makes, people will want to know more about where this information comes from. i think it's something he will have to look at very carefully. tom: ambassador john bolton, always good to see you. we are coming back with much more. critics are blasting president obama and his flurry of 11th hour executive orders. >> i don't think he has much of a legacy

. >> kevin cork, thankç you for that. >>> new investigations in the deadly berlin terror attack.rning about the suspect. and the u.s. expected to it slap sanctions on russia for the alleged hacking on election. it doesn't mean russia was in the tank for donald trump. the real gift isn't what's inside the box... it's what's inside the person who opens it. give ancestrydna, the simple dna test that can reveal their ethnic origins. order now at ancestrydna.com >> a fox news alert they were investigateth anis a hmri. he was accuse canned of collecting a sylum speaker benefits in two german town and that investigation was shelved because his wheres about were not known. he died in a shootout with with italian police. >> the white house could announce new sanctions in russia next week over the moscow interferrance. president-elect trump expressed doubts about that the move. he told reporters it is time to get on with our lives. a former intelligence officer is a senior fellow in the program on national security in the foreign policy research institute. and most offous audience probably

tom: thank you, kevin corke. joining me now fred barnes, and fred, does this, almost over 40 years we have said veto, veto, veto, veto. all of a sudden the big change does this give president obama the legacy of being the most anti-israeli president, maybe more than jimmy carter? >> he's earned, it much more than jimmy carter. it's gradually grown, his distaste for israel. this caps it, this change in the vote, of course, that's going to change when donald trump comes in because he's doing the opposite. trump i think is right on this issue. the settlements are not the cause, they're not blocking any sort of agreement between israel and then the palestinians, they're not the problem. most of these settlements would stay a part of israel if there were an agreement, but the palestinians just will not come to an agreement, and the settlements are not the problem. tom: yeah, but i guess the silver lining around this story is that the u.n. needs a pair of dentures, i don't think they have any teeth.

kevin cork is just wrapping up an enter interview with eric schulte. what did he tell you and. >> listen itch asked him a couple of questions and i think the one will be most important to viewers what does this mean? you didn't really have to do it now. did you? and i also asked women hmm what the point before -- what the president is trying to do is send a strong message you mess with the u.s., especially from a sibber perspective, you're going to pay. >> here's the bottom line. the wants to make sure he is doing everything possible to keep our country safe and keep the election systems free from foreign enter interference. we saw malicious cyber activity leading up the election. so the president's actions are bold, they're aggressive, and they're designed to say that bo process. the president's actions are bold, aggressive and designed to say the united states is not going to stand for it. >> reporter: still, people are going to ask the question, why not just leave it for the trump administration? you are out the door, pal. you are done in a couple w

kevin corke joins us, he's traveling with the president. he is live in honolulu, hawaii. kevin, what else is the white house saying about this? >> reporter: well, i think you made a very important point there, gregg. listen, they have said repeatedly and consistently that they have supported the state of israel throughout the entirety of the obama white house, but the truth is, this is seen as a major break from tradition, but the white house is bristoliling that they were behind the coordination of this vote. i want to share with folks at home, what eric schultz, principal deputy white house press secretary, had to say about this. he's not mincing words, my friends. he said "the u.s. didn't draft this resolution nor did the u.s. introduce the resz loose. the egyptians in partnership with the palestinians are the ones who began circulating an early draft of the resolution." here's where it gets a little in the weeds. watch this. the egyptian are the ones who moved it towaforward on friday we took the position we did web it was put to a vote." still akuzing the administrati

we begin with kefb kevin cork i honolulu with a reaction to the crackdown on russia. >> reporter: you are right. yesterday was the kremlin and the white house going back and forth about those accusations of cyber intrusions, trying to influence the u.s. election. today it was the russians pulling punches. it was a scene that unfolded from coast to coast. from washington to san francisco. nearly three dozen russian operatives working to leave the united states ahead of a deadline imposed by president obama in retaliation for what the white house called russian cyber intrusion during the runup to the 2016 election. >> it's all together 11 people, including three kids. they have to pack and leave within hours. >> reporter: even as the administration closed russian facilities in new york and maryland, russian president vladimir putin fired off what could best be described as his own when they go low, we go high statement. saying although we have the right to retaliate, we will not resort to irresponsible kitchen diplomacy but will plan further steps to restore relations based on the polic

>> kevin corke live in honolulu. hank you. >>> and for more on this now, let's brick in captain ben collins, a u.s. army special forces veteran and a green beret, who served three tours of duty in afghanistan. captain collins, thank you for being here. i want to start with president putin's decision to wait until president trump is in office to decide how he will react to the recent expulsion of the russian diplomats. how much of a power play is that on the part of putin? >> well, i think it's probably in putin's best interests to do so. somebody, i think it was right before the break, governor huckabee had said, look, this has essentially just been a slap in the face to obama. and you know, the russian embassy actually tweeted out a pretty snarky picture of a lame duck. so i think there's really no reason up-to-that this point sie only 21 days until president trump is sworn in. so really, there's the reality he'll have to be dealing with president trump as opposed to president obama. and there have been signals that
