. >> melissa: white house correspondent kevin corke is live on the north lawn. that was just a little bit of what he had to say. >> let me tell you, he's been talking about this for quite some time both on twitter and today over at quantico. white house officials for quite some time have felt there was this biased against the president among the higher ups at the fbi who are investigating hillary clinton at the time.

this is quite an evening, i think, as kevin corke just reported. president giving his full support to the folks graduating at quantico, the fbi academy, and we now know that so much of what is happening at the top levels of the fbi is absolutely disgraceful as the president put it. >> well, and you've exactly created the appropriate distinction, lou, between the heroic agents of the fbi who put their lives on the line each and every day to protect americans and some of the corrupt senior leadership that we see in the mueller probe at the fbi and at the department of justice. this bias is like an infection. it's like an incurable cancer that's inoperable, and we've got to end this mueller probe. from the department of justice where you see bruce orr, a senior official, having his wife employed by fusion gps, the company taking money from the dnc to go and give to russians to discredit the president? to the fbi where you've got people like peter strzok sending text messages to his mistress that he hates the president and that he's the insurance polic

chris: kevin corke reporting from the white house. thanks for that. earlier i sat with security adviser h.r. mcmaster. general mcmaster, welcome back to you on fox news sunday. >> pleasure to be with you. chris: now that general flynn has pleaded guilty and set to be cooperating with special counsel investigation, are you in contact with other countries to assure that president trump is in charge in presidency. >> in fact, what we are doing is continuing to work with them on all key challenges we face today from north korea to the defeat of isis across the greater middle east, ongoing efforts in afghanistan, pakistan, we are working with latin american partners on the issue of venezuela. the topic doesn't even come up. chris: but honestly, do you know what general flynn may have to say about president trump and other people in this campaign team and their involvement with the russians during the campaign? >> no, that's not the focus on national security council, we have to confront today to protect the american people advance our prosperity, the prior

gregg: you refer to nunez letter as kevin corke did. this is clear from the letter, that rod rosenstein deputy attorney general overseeing mueller investigation has been stonewalling and defying lawful subpoenas from congress to turnover documents, as some point in time, do you think that the folks need to ub held in contempt of congress, referred to a federal judge for prosecution if necessary? >> i think that january 3 deadline should be the last straw, if they don't produce it congress needs to act, doing a contempt. i think that american people would support that. so, absolutely we need to get the answers to the questions. there have been enough deadlines and you have to act, we have an appropriation bill coming up third week of january, there is nothing preventing us from putting restriction on funding, defunding rod rosenstein's travel budget, stuff like that so we're bite back with the power of the purse. gregg: you are a harvard trained lawyer, a prosecutor, you know when people stonewall a lawful subpoena, they are covering up,

kevin cork, thank you so much. washington times opinion edout are and charlie hurt. great to see you. wouldn't you like to hear the doc interpretation. law? >> they got it completely wrong by claiming that a.gov website sdmnt have privacy is completely wrong. there are tens of thousands of.gov e-mail addresses in the united states capitol and senate and house and there is a total preassumption of prevs an on all of those unless they get stolen unless congress has information that applies to the everything else in the government. it is bogus. >> and i said by the way, tpp, i pit ptt. and my transition team confused i guess. we'll turn to jackie spear. she has inside track on whether or not president trump will fire someone? she and adam shift. i get the feeling they live on the staple block in the same community in california somewhere, don't you? >> yeah, yeah. i think it is so funny when these again i didn'tses who are wrong about everything about donald trump always come out and claim to be an expert in his thinking and know what he will to and have a secret sauce

welfare reform and infrastructure. >> chris: kevin corke, thank you.et's take a closer look at the temporary funding bill about to be a longer-term measure. here is peter doocy. >> republicans, a chance to keep the government open for two more weeks with the temporary budget. >> short-term continuing resolution will provide us with time. completing discussions on a long-term solution. >> the long-term solution, longer odds of passing. republicans put pentagon spending at the top of their wish list. >> level of defense spending. >> democrats want daca. >> if you need help from democrats, it can't be a republican budget. it has to be an american budget and it has to include values and ideals of democrats. one of them being a clean dream act. >> some are doubtful meaningful deals can be made by december 22nd. >> i asked the majority, what do you expect to accomplish that we been unable to accomplish in the last two months. >> congress is notorious for wading into the last minute, but this time there is such a split. not everybody in the senate sees 51 vot

kevin corke at the white house. look what we have here. an interesting development that companies would pounce on this and try to do something with the money coming their way including curiously enough at&t. listen to the president talking about it. >> at&t plans to increase u.s. capital spending $1 billion and provide $1,000 special bonus to more than 200,000 u.s. employees. that's because of what we did. that's pretty good. that's pretty good. [applause] >> neil: all right. now, that stood out, but it wasn't alone. boeing is planning to invest a lot of money. $300 million in work related and charitable donations. at&t stuck out to me and charlie gasparino. that has been a bitter struggle with getting the time-warner deal done. a connection there? >> of course it is. if boeing does more charity, they get more write-offs. it's great what at&t is doing. investing in equipment and putting money in people's pockets. we were so uncompetitive. we have one of the high nest the world. probably two other countries ant they weren't major players ah

kevin cork is at the white house with the details. >> reporter: president trump tweeting this morningepublican tax cuts are looking very good. one day after the house and senate announced that they have agreed on a final bill on tax reform. >> we're on the verge of doing something that is really historic and meaningful for the american people. >> reporter: the compromised agreement includes slashing the corporate tax rate from 35% down to 21%. cutting the top individual rate of 39.6% to 37%. capping the state and local tax deductions at $10,000. and repealing the obamacare individual mandate. >> if congress sends me a bill before christmas, the irs has just confirmed that americans will see lower taxes and bigger paychecks beginning in february. >> the president says the average american family will see their paychecks go up more than $4,000. >> this is what the white house has wanted. this is what we need to sort of maintain the healthy american economy. we're excited about it. good news for everybody. >> reporter: but democrats say it is not good news for the middle class. >> there

kevin corke is at the white house. >> it was a definitive three word response. >> no, i'm not. >> the answer to the question about whether he planned to fire robert mueller came following a claim by california democratic congresswoman jackie spear. >> i believe the president wants all of this shut down. he wants to fire special counsel or mueller. the rumor on the hill when i left yesterday was that the president was going to make a significant speech at the end of next week and on december 22, when we are out of d.c., he was going to fire robert mueller. >> the comments echo a narrative in the media, one that's been repeatedly shot down by the white house. >> is he setting the stage? >> no. >> there is no way he's going to fire him? >> no conversations about that. you keep bringing it up. we have cooperated in that investigation. >> the investigation has been strained by the revelation that the mueller team use the general services administration to gain access to tens of thousands of trump transition emails. prosecutors used them to question witnesses in the russia probe. in the let

we begin with correspondent kevin corke and the president's message to the fbi. >> lesson, what a difference have the 5 minutes can make in your life, right? it was in that span that we saw the president once again criticized the senior leadership of the fbi for being unfair and biased in the russia and clinton probes, and headed over to quantico to praise the rank and file for their service and sacrifice. >> the president of the united states has your bank 100 100%. i will fight for you. i will never, ever let you down ever. >> a clear, definitive declaration of support for the fbi and law enforcement today from president trump speaking to graduates at the bureau's academy of quantico, virginia. >> i have so many friends are police officers, so many people in the fbi. these are great, great people. these are really heroes for all of us. >> mr. trump's comments, his first at the training facility, since he slammed the agency for apparent bias in the clinton private email server investigation, as well as the ongoing russia probe. the latter of which spurred the president to release a barrage

kevin corke from the north lawn at the white house. good morning. >> good morning, bill.e white house as congressional lawmakers and president make good on a promise to overhaul the nation's tax code and we do expect a celebratory event sometimes this afternoon, probably mid-afternoon as the president and lawmakers say congratulations for getting the job done. he is taken to twitter, no surprise. the president very much in a celebratory mood that morning saying this. the tax cuts are so large and so meaningful and yet the fake news is working overtime to follow the lead of their friends, the defeated dems and only demean. he goes on to add, this is truly a case where the results will speak for themselves starting very soon. jobs, jobs, jobs. the senate made it official 51 yes, 48 no. vice president mike pence claiming the jobs bill is ready for the president's signature. the long-anticipated white house review. what's in it? i have a few bullet points that will help you along. this reduces the corporate tax rate to 21%. down from 35. if you are making between say 49 and 8

kevin corke reporting live from the white house. >> the president on his way to utah to shrink a pairf national monuments including one actually larger than the entire state of delaware. there is also great excitement here at the white house and for the president in particular. thanks to what has happened on capitol hill, you heard peter doocy talking about this, the prospect of paving the way for tax reform. the president took to twitter this morning to talk about that. with a great vote on cutting taxes, this could be a big day for the stock market and you, especially if you have a 401(k) or you participate in some larger plan. at this hour cloak take a look at the big board and see how the markets are doing. as you see, the dow industrial average up over 230 points. get this, it's actually advanced some 6,000 points since election day, about a third or 33%. 64th record close under the president and 81st record close since election day. the administration quietly confident now getting back to taxes that even at the negotiations take part in capitol hill, there is a very strong likel

chris. >> chris: kevin corke reporting for the white house, thanks for that.arlier i sat down with the president's national security advisor, general h.r. mcmaster general h.r. mcmaster. >> welcome back to "fox news sunday" ." >> it's a pleasure to be back with you. now that general flynn has pleaded guilty and that he is said to be cooperating with the special counsel robert mueller's investigation, our human contact with countries to reassure them that president trump is firmly in charge and his presidency is not in trouble? >> general mcmaster: i don't think your allies need any reassurance. what we're doing is continuing to work with them on all the key challenges we face today, from north korea, to the defeat of isis across the middle east, the ongoing efforts in afghanistan, pakistan, where working with our latin american partners very closely on the issue of venezuela. and so we haven't missed a beat really in the topic doesn't even come up. >> chris: but honestly, do you know what general flynn may have to say about president trump and other people in

kevin corke, thanks so much. joining me now, charlie hurt. great to see you.ouldn't you like to hear the interpretation of the law? charlie: they got that wrong claiming the .gov website has no expectation of privacy. there are tens of thousands of .gov email addresses in the capital in the senate and house and there is a presumption of privacy because congress exempts itself from the freedom of information act that applies to everybody else in the government. any way you look at it, it's bogus. lou: i said tpp, i meant ptt. let's turn to jackie speier. she has the inside track on whether president trump will fire someone. she and adam schiff. i get the feeling they live on the same block in the same community in california somewhere, don't you? charlie: yes. i think it's so funny when these geniuses who have been wrong about everything about donald trump always come out and claim to be some kind of expert on his thinking, they know what he's going to do and they have the secret sauce for understanding this guy. but they couldn't understand anything, let alone

. >> rick: kevin corke is live in washington what's at the heart of this complaint that was lodged byes? >> in a word it is stonewalling or foot dragging. by any definition this is a refusal on the part of agency leadership of the d.o.j. and f.b.i. to respond to subpoenas. nunes expresses frustration for the leadership's failure to comply citing numerous requests for information and interviews related to the dossier which some have argued led to the surveillance of trump campaign operatives and possibly the unmasking of american citizens and private communications and eventually the special counsel investigation. so finally in his letter first obtained exclusively by fox news thanks to my colleague john roberts the chairman said boldly at this point it seems the d.o.j. and f.b.i. need to be investigating themselves. quite the shot. as you can well imagine he is not alone. there are several other g.o.p. lawmakers making it clear that enough is enough. >> we need all of that so we can then prepare to interview, whether it's former general counsel baker, whether it is peter strzok, wheth

kevin corke with the latest. y, kevin. >> listen, to be honest with you, the stakes couldn't be much higher with that government shut down looming. the president did meet with chuck schumer and nancy pelosi at the white house. quite a departure that the last time they were invited here, republican leadership was in the meeting here at the white house alongside the defense secretary jim mattis. why are they here? to try to forge count census to keep the government funded beyond december 8. you can argue this, to bridge a bit of a political span that some would argue rivals the size of the grand canyon with differences nearly as deep. >> we're all here as a friendly well-unified group. a well-knit group of people and we hope to make some great progress for our country. >> we hope we can come to an agreement. funding the government is important. helping our soldiers is important and helping average citizens is important. so we're here in the spirit of let's get it done. >> get it done. as i pointed out, the last meet

. >> sandra: kevin corke is live at the white house for us this morning. how is the white house answering critics who suggest this tax bill will primarily benefit the wealthy? >> well listen, a couple ways. i love hearing you talk business. i know you're into it based on your background. you are talking salt and stuff like that, not talking about too much in my diet. they're answering, we're talking about arguing against this idea if you pay taxes somehow you shouldn't benefit from a tax cut as opposed to folks who pay no taxes. i think the broader argument is this argument against this narrative that it's the rich fat cats against the common man. that's a dishonest and false narrative. the president taking to twitter this morning talking about it once again saying republican tax cuts are looking very good. all are working hard. in the meantime the stock market hit another record high. while that is true and if you have a 401k it can be great news the white house is insistent the purpose of the tax bill is to put more money into the pockets of everyday ame

[applause] >> dana: kevin corke is at the white house. what was the thinking, kevin, behind the president's comments, also, about crime and murder rates in chicago and baltimore? >> spot on by the way running that clip. that was the main focus. "i am with you 100% despite what you may have heard or even read on twitter." first things first, president made strong comments about chicago and baltimore. two things, dana, were at work. number one, he wants to draw attention to a circumstance that is clearly a crisis level. you can make the argument, credibly so, if it deserves more federal attention. the second element making a note to point out chicago and baltimore today, but to really talk about the youngsters that were there. i call them youngsters, they are graduates. maybe not so young in some cases. the truth is, he wanted to spotlight their potential, the promise. the problem-solving ability. most of all, shine a spotlight on the plight of long form is in general. >> you look at what's going on in chicago, what the hell is going on in c

fox news alice kevin corke. >> the white house once again with the call for chain migration.ith today's bombing in the city benefited from exactly that. let me sort of explain this so the folks at home who do not follow the inside baseball terminology, chain migration, it is a process that allows immigrants to sponsor the migration of extended family members. a mom, dad, grandparent, cousin, et cetera. the 27-year-old in custody following the attack is from bangladesh, had lived in the u.s. since 2011, according to department of homeland security, benefited from the type of chain migration that the president and several key lawmakers want to end. >> is a growing threat against people inspired by isis who had been radicalized on line? >> the present is concerned that congress, particular democrats have failed to take action in places where we feel we could have prevented this. specifically the president's policy has called for an end to chain migration, if that had been in place, that would have prevented this individual from coming to the united states. the president is aggre

kevin corke >> very interesting. a lot of things are going to happen in next week.ing to be making his way down to capitol hill, as well as andrew mccain, of course a lot of people talking about that. he is said to make his way over there. why? because there are a number of people, you and i have talked about this at length, who have in some form or fashion been involved with the russian and the clinton investigations, and yet, increasingly, it is being called into question whether they are in fact impartial. and while the president did praise the gathering of fbi academy graduates during his visit down in quantico, as it shone there, the white house remains convinced there is bias at the top, and it has to be rooted out. one thing that i find really interesting. ron johnson, sending a letter to the fbi about the james at comey dropped her changes you may remember that when you and i talked about this, about secretary clinton's handling of materials, he said listen, the original writing said that she was grossly negligent, with respect to the handling of this classi

kevin corke with more. >> it's the kind of thing that just raises your blood pressure. you watch something like that, you see the republicans in command and you think to yourself, what gives? conversely, i can tell you how the president is looking at this to quote the iconic alfred e. newman, me worry? the president seems convinced despite the chatter on capitol hill, yes, they will push it over the finish line. he made those comments talking about, you got it, reducing that voluminous tax code. trying to make it something smaller and simpler than the one the u.s. had in the 1960s. >> i think we will get there. it will be in a very short period of time. it will be the greatest christmas present that a lot of people have ever received. it will be something special. >> we're extremely excited about the progress that we have already made to double the child tax credit. i think that's something important to note. something that we worked very closely with senator rubio on. we think he should be very excited about the progress we made on that front. >> let me give you contex

kevin corke joins us with the details. >> great to see you, mike, this is our first opportunity to see what the committee has been asking the doj and the fbi for as it relates to this deal, the trump dossier. they want to get to the bottom of this. what role did the dossier play in leading to what became a trump investigation? they want to know why it's taking the committee -- the two agencies so long to respond to the committee's request not just nor documents but also for interviews. in a letter obtained by fox news, chairman of the house select committee on intelligence, devin nunes, escoriated the fbi concerning the trump dossier. he told rod rosenstein says it appears the doj and fbi need to investigate themselves. >> i'd like to see the directors purge it. >> francis rooney was clear. he wants to see the fbi and justice department clean house. >> we have a lot of great agents, a lot of great lawyers here. those are the people that i want the american people to see and know the good work is being done. not the deep state. >> rooney, the latest to join the gop chorus of attacks on

. >> sandra: kevin corke is live in washington good morning to you, kevin. >> listen, this is a veryean very serious inquiry that involves bruce ohr, what they're trying to get to the bottom of, what was ohr's hand in the phony dossier? was that dossier used to create a fisa warrant to survey the communications of trump team members? and ultimately people want to know did that lead to the unmasking of americans? people also would say who is this guy bruce ohr? a former deputy ag. as bill mentioned he was demoted about revelations with the meetings of fusion gps where his wife worked. it is the group with ties to the dnc and ties to the clinton campaign and produced to phony trump dossier. on capitol hill lawmakers would like to know if he, his wife and others at the d.o.j. including some involved in the mueller investigation weaponized that phony dossier and they would like to know if they were anti-trump as some recently publicized text messages seem to suggest. >> we are going to subpoena andrew mccabe, peter strzok, bruce ohr. they're central to this. his wife, and lisa page and a
