[laughter] mr. clinton: i was zero and he beat me 51-48. by about three points. it was one of the best things that ever happened to me. we wound up being friends too. but this district we ran in had the highest amount of gasoline use per registered vehicle in america because it was all on hilly roads. and it was so rural. and you had to do stuff people don't do anymore. your television ads did not amount to any

when president clinton was elected, they asked mr. hubbell and mr. nother rose lawyer, bill kennedy, to go to washington with them. >> hillary clinton, obviously, became the first lady of the united states. >> webb hubbell had the number-three position in the justice department. it was called associate attorney general. >> vincent foster went to washington as both the clintons' personal lawyer and the deputy white house counsel. >> along with vincent foster and webster hubbell, some notable figures would also feature prominently in president clinton's first term. bernard nussbaum, a well-respected attorney, who had been part of the congressional staff investigating the watergate scandal, became white house counsel. george stephanopoulos, who had run communications for the '92 campaign, became white house communications director. and florida state attorney janet reno was appointed u.s. attorney general, after controversies forced two earlier candidates to bow out. >> it looked like a relatively normal presidency, but his first 50, 100 days were pretty

mrs. clinton informed.ing vincent foster's office in the white house. >> there was evidence that documents were removed from foster's office. >> the white house counsel bernard nussbaum, presidential aides, mrs. clinton's aides, start removing documents. now what's going on with that? >> park police wanted to come in and search the office for his papers. >> mr. nussbaum is denying them access. >> his position was i'm just trying to do what any lawyer would do to protect the interests of their client. >> are they relevant to madison? are they relevant to whitewater? what are those? >> the behavior of the president's aides would lead to years of unanswered questions about the nature of the documents in foster's position. while some things were removed from the office, others seem to suddenly appear. >> six days after mr. foster's death, a tornup note is found in the bottom of his briefcase. >> vince foster's hasn't written letter of distress was found in a briefcase in white house office torn into more than t

mrs. clinton's chief of staff, this is significant, mrs. clinton's chief of staff shows up, bullies are way inside there, take files out -- she broke a crime scene etiquette basically and then took the files back and then lied in a grand jury inside she didn't know anything about it. two to three years later they are saying filed shows up on mrs. quinn's private email. >> sandra: based on your account of what you saw inside closed doors happening with the clintons, why do you think that they have been able to get away with this for so long living by this other set of rules? >> because they slowly compromise and corrupt everybody. they started with the secret service and the fbi when bill clinton into office. there were 900 fbi files found in the clinton white house that came from the fbi and they were background files, for instance like when you apply to the government or the fbi has done an investigation on you they have these files on you. raw data files. those files were found in a clinton complex and nobody knew how i they got there. i c

mrs. clinton and in some cases did get access to mrs. clinton.e appearance of that, i mean, are you a lawyer? >> no i'm not. >> laura: the mere appearance of that is not good. having people who work both for the foundation and their consulting to their state department at the same time while they are trying to shepard people through to meetings with mrs. clinton. setting aside politics and all of that. appearance issues plague all politicians. but that one opens up so many questions and always did. >> it was a tough situation. you had never had a former president with a significant foundation doing good around the world married to a secretary of state. >> laura: why does the whole thing dry up after she doesn't become president? why. >> i don't think that's true. a lot of accusations made against the clinton foundation including mr. schweizer in clinton cash have been proven wrong. his -- in fact, ironically, he sat on this set with chris wallace when he wrote the book and chris, i brought it because it's unbelievable, chris wrote that clinton to

mrs. clinton fraction of what mrs. clinton has done.nvestigation 101 is when you say i don't recall, 39 times and wondered interview, you pause and you pull out her nondisclosure agreement that she signed and you show it to her and say now, does this refresh your recollection? let's move forward to the questions. how can you say you don't recall? recall? none of this was done. it wasn't several instances a sham investigation and its critical, now a fresh set of eyes can look at it and all this documentary evidence that we produced is in the public record for there to be a legitimate fresh look. >> shannon: i just want to quickly note the chairman of the senate judiciary committee sent out another letter this week saying he wants an investigation into james comey's disclosure of the memos that led to the reporting in "the new york times" ." he said this asking the doj and the fbi, have you initiated an investigation into whether mr. comey properly disclose classified information by providing the miranda to professor richardson. if so, wh

mrs. clinton admits she would not make the same decision today. her decision not to fire burns strider was met with frustration from longtime aides at the time then and now after a female staffer accused him of sexually harassing her. clinton reassigned the accuse eand strider's apparent -- accuser, and strider's apparent harassment continued of other women. >>> in a major reversal, the emergency management worker who triggered the false ballistic missile alert was fired. we're told it was not an accident. the lead investigator says the employee did not know an exercise was underway even though five others in the same room were aware. he says the employee became confused, and a colleague had to take over his responsibilities. officials are recommending changes including eliminating practice drills during a shift change. >> they were having a practice drill, and this person was coming on or off the shift and thought it was really happening? >> thought it was happening. many were confused after the alert on the phones. apple sent it out about a doze

mrs. clinton is here on why clinton hasn't apologized.lagher with the back story. >> during the 2008 campaign, hillary clinton advisor was strider. he would send mrs. clinton scripture readers. he was accused of sexually harassing a young woman. he was married and she claimed he rubbed her shoulders and sent a string of suggestive emails. her complaint got the attention of the campaign manager patty doyle. >> i interviewed all of the parties involved. i looked at the evidence and emails he sent and other documents and came to the conclusion that there was sexual harassment involved. the young woman was very credible. >> doyle recommended he be fired but hillary clinton refused. nine years later hillary clinton tweeted quote: the campaign allowed him to continue in his role and reassigning the young woman. the reason it's going public is the former clinton associates were unwilling to talk about the event until the me too movement compelled them to speak to the "new york times." the 2016 clinton campaign was cited as an inspiration for the

mrs. clinton's unsecure system set up, if i were the justice department under donald trump i would do whatmerican people elected them to do which is reevaluate what went on with respect to the criminal investigation and initiated to make sure it is done honestly and fairly. heather: why is it not just a given? why is there a question that it would be happening at the president has to send out this tweet suggesting it needs to? >> a real crisis at the justice department they are defending and protecting hillary clinton, no surprise to us we are litigating against the justice department, the state department, the fbi, director of national intelligence whether they will do a damage assessment, national security damage by hillary clinton's mishandling, the justice department is defending hillary clinton saying it wasn't that serious. after learning what was on and weiner's laptop the president should demand damage assessment and tell appointees to start with a fear-based decisionmaking, they are taking on the clinton machine and enforce the rule of law. >> not just the classified emails showin

mrs. clinton needs to take some legal counsel and get -- take this more seriously.here's significant issues, as you highlighted as you left the last segment but uranium one. mrs. clinton as secretary of state was getting money through the speaking fees of her husband through foreign leaders and foreign fronts, such as renaissance capital who was a russia firm tied to uranium one that gave him 5 million dollars. that went to their personal coffers, 48 million in speaker fees and other arrangements that clinton had while she was secretary of state. what were they seeking clintons that they would give this money. you have classified information on the internet equivalent of a public park bench and james comey and the proclinton crowd didn't think that was a big deal. we need to redo that. the justice department asking questions is the least that can be done, given the outrageous sham investigation that took place last year. >> tom, i want to get back to that classified information in a moment. can we lean in on the money because what i'm reading and trying to understan

mrs. clinton. i do know this. i do know that since the me too movement has begun, since these courageous victims, survivors have come forward, attitudes are changing and the way people may have handled something, two years ago, a year ago or even two months ago is very, very different. >> congresswoman, i apologize for interrupting you, but hillary clinton did tweet con tell rain yously and she called the women and she was glad she had been heard. she did not say she should have handled it differently. do you think if the incident happened today it should be handled differently than it was in 2008? >> not knowing specifically, i do these instances are handled differently and i can tell you right now, this week in congress, there will be new legislation that's going to require the congress to handle our sexual harassment allegations differently. in the past it's been very one sided against victims, we're going to go to a much more transparent streamlined system where members are going to have to be accountable and

mrs. clinton's political career.hat is where people are starting to look at to see if there's anything improper that went into some of those donations. >> neil: i referred to the foundation spokesman that said time after time, the clinton foundation has been subjected to politically motivated allegations and time after time the allegations have been proven false. goes on to say the foundation has improved the lives of millions of people around the world and earning top ratings from charity watch dogs and groups in the process. i don't know if the latter part is true. what do you make of the argument here? it's a familiar refrain from those that support the foundation, that it becomes like a punching bag. that does a great deal of good but it's lost in the sauce. >> i think all charities say they do good. but the charity paid a lot of expenses that folks look at. it's a question how you divvy it up. when you have a charity related to a secretary of state, things get more complicated. there's no denying there's some go

since i was a little girl i wanted to have a bicycle off my home and it took me mr clinton might have. finally gave up invented by me and by cyclists and returned because sewing machine sewing i suppose was more appropriate for girls than writing and. as knowledge i want to meet shall school boys woman back home who are bones by their duties and social rules and inform them of old dead basic rights my name is the matter of the go home and i work into. one and must time and the minister and. i'm going to give you court then there must . be a few months after buying a view toward going to mars the stuff i know for history of things that i think is to prime the. point was my best escape it was because more me than the by this is guns a mule some meo he's against me answer this it's who by. the sword what is the phone about soy afforded even mercury is beginning to tally difficult to make the most money. everybody in the dream and you don't need to sell your dreams. that was what i did was what i'm suited. to. get through the. years of listening even the second plane. to naught but it's b

mrs. clinton appears to be lacking.s is the woman who reassigned a female aide after she reported sexual harassment against a male senior aide in her campaign in 2008. remember what the grammys was about last night? they are honoring a book that's gossip treated as gospel. the author said many parts are badly untrue. if it rings true it must be good enough. not exactly the height of journalism here and here is the grammys. maybe hillary clinton thought it was the grannys and got mixed up. here we have nikki haley, right, who was basically just lambasted by michael wolf on national television on friday who implied that she slept her way to her u.n. ambassadorship not because she was the governor of south carolina, of course, and cheers on hillary clinton and i found it to be one of the most pathetic things i've seen during an awards show. >> jon: she is an accomplished immigrants and yet she doesn't get that kind of respect. might as well bring up her tweet. she was watching the grammys last night. she said i always love

mrs. clinton was right at the center of trying to smear and discredit these women. narcissistic looney tunes. that's what mrs. clinton did for specific women. >> we can talk about maxine, who has done tons of work with hillary clinton on ship. we can talk about the mothers of the movement on gun violence prevention. we can go back and forth with names. >> laura: she can do a lot of good liberal things that you like and at the same time not be the best person to come out for the #metoo movement. if i were a liberal, i would be like okay, hillary, thanks for your service, but we are moving on. turn the page from the clintons. if not helping democrats. it seems like most democrats i want to know want to be done with the clintons. >> i do think that the #metoo movement is bigger than any one person. i do agree with you on that and i think it's a powerful moment for everybody in the country. >> laura: thank you so much, and we will be right back. stay do you need the most trusted battery in your noise-canceling headphones? maybe not. maybe you could trust your flight att

it reported that mrs clinton overruled calls to sack mr strider after a female colleague made allegationseen talking to our washington correspondent about this. that is exactly the case. there was a pretty animated response to hillary clinton's initial twitter adds up to the allegations. they we re adds up to the allegations. they were viewed as not taking them seriously enough. there was a piece in the washington post when it was said the writer was a supporter of hillary clinton and she defended her against allegations that she mishandled her husband's sexual harassment and assault allegations, and she said she was done with hillary clinton and could not defend this because this was hillary clinton operating as the chief executive, essentially, of her own company, her campaign. and she decided not to fire this person, moved around which is something we have seen time and again with this type of sexual and isn't allegations and that allowed him to get the job later on when he moved to different organisation, where he was fired for harassment there. there were sharp criticism and, yes, hi

mrs. clinton, it is probably due to the fact your perception to your people was that she was less middle class candidate than mr. trump which was a big issue. she was pictured, i'll not saying it is true, but she was pictured as a candidate of the elite. i think if you don't put yourself with an answer to better regulate globalization, to give more power to middle classes, it is impossible to convince in a current democracy. and i think it is the same issue with brexit. first of all, david cameron was a remain but.e defend the and he already lost at the very beginning when he was not clear about his strong willingness. when you have all this no in front of you, you have to be a strong believer. not an ambiguous believer. but at the end of the day, for me, the interpretation of the brexit, is the fact that for the u.k. middle classes, they didn't find their part of the current evolution of the e.u. t, i need a strong democracy e for my middle classes and my people. i have to pass reforms to be more efficient, to create more jobs, to be more innovative. but i need more regulation for my middle c

mrs. clinton is because my boss had conflicted herself by having the meeting with former president clintonll, if the purpose of the meeting was to tell him about a decision that was already made, there was no conflict. bottom line, it is curiouser and curiouser that decisions seem to have been made for political not for sound evidentiary-based law enforcement purposes. stuart: the fix was in. internal people at the fbi did not want to prosecute hillary clinton, and that's what the attorney general told bill clinton on the tarmac. >> so why doesn't the present attorney general undo all of that? . stuart: answer your question. >> the statute of limitations has not yet run, and he can take that evidence, examine it with a fresh pair of eyes, and present it to a grand jury. the answer to the question is because the government often protects its predecessors so its successors will protect it, and that is a corrupt mentality that exists in doj no matter what party is in power. that isn't always the case but it seems to be the case here. stuart: well, there is great pressure that senate attorney

i knew reports the fbi is investigating the clinton foundation. and that mr. trump tried to head off the russian probe. >> everything they do is proper. >> will ask our panel which side is a more legal jeopardy. our power play of the week, getting to know the nations -- >> for my entire life i've tried to use the gifts that god gave me to improve health. >> all, right now on fox news sunday. hello again from fox news in washington. resident trump the republican leaders met at camp david this weekend to plan the legislative agenda for 2018. that was overshadowed by a new book about the president. the report that some of the top advisers don't think is out for the job. we'll get reaction from corriveau and oski, he remains in close contact with trump. then mike pompeo joins us. >> let's start with the book, the author, michael wolf reports that almost everybody on the president's team, in his cabinet, question whether the president has weather the president has the mental and emotional fitness to be the commander-in-chief. >> they say he is a moron, an idiot. th

mrs. clinton, candidate clinton in 2008 refused to fire him after complaints about his behavior. >> i was 2008 campaign, so i do not know this individual i'm not familiar with the circumstance of the case other than what i read in the newspaper that just broke. i think we should have a zero tolerance approach to sexual harassment, sexual assault of any kind of that's whether it is the first incident or the fifth incident, there should be consequences, and accountability every single time. what that looks like, though. may be different in one case under one certain set of facts than it may be under another set of facts. >> we do have a statement from the law firm advising her campaign in 2008, which is to ensure a safe working environment, the campaign had a process to address complaints of misconduct or harassment opinion when matters arose, they were reviewed in accordance with these policies. this complaint was no exception. that doesn't tell us whether any action was taken or any punishment involved. this person worked for a super pac and then was let go. i don't know if you have any k

mrs. clinton. remember she set up that e-mail server overall this traffic went back and forth, a week before she became secretary of state, doing it willingly, waitingly with waitingly with full knowledge. and other senior professional state department staff, all communicated with her, knowing about this outlawserver. david: let me stop you. you saying not just an individual matter with -- >> no. david: with individuals like huma and others doing stuff putting our top-secret at risk, but it was a criminal enterprise, designed and organized by hillary clinton, your words? >> absolutely it was. 4 fore knowledge, and forethought. it is more fuel on the fire. also realize this judicial watch got huma abedin, cheryl mills and 5 others under oath on these same questions. and so, our litigation broke loose this story. frankly if we had not done the work we have done, no one would know about this. they would not know about huma abedin. david: i don't top blow smoke in your -- i don't want to blow smoke in

mrs. clinton at home? >> that is correct, lou, and thanks. it is it important that that distinction be made. they were classified at the time they were produced and transmitted. they are not pretroactively classified as a smoke screen or red herring. they were classified when written and resident on the we upper lap top. >> lou: investigators knew that but did not share it with the public? >> i have a tidbit with grassly and the comey memo. >> lou: jump in any way you want. >> we have a sworn statement who was in the fbi, and in that sworn declaration mr. hardy said that all of comey's memos, all of them were classified at the time they were written and they remain classified and so the open question for mr. grassly, was it 4 of 7 or what time were they? >> no, we have a swarn declaration from the chief officer of the fbi they were classified at the time comey wrote them. >> lou: and should litigation come to that, that is determined in the case and give us clear understanding of the fbi as to the level of classification for all of those memo

mrs. clinton conducted? we absolutely know now that it was an abysmal and disgraceful investigation.ot in the normal way. that's very, very troubling. >> listen, here's the deal. it's gross negligence or general intent, these investigations are different. if you compare hillary clinton's investigation to the other investigation, there are lots of problems. there are people in the office that would agree with any criminal prosecution and that's why you have more than one person looking at the case. >> laura: what john solomon reported tonight on the hill. the evidence include passages and fbi documents stating the sheer volume of classified information that flowed through clinton's insecure emails was proof of criminality. it goes on and on. >> that's one investigator's opinion. there was one decision maker. whether it was comey. >> laura: or peter strzok. >> no, don't go there. they have can their opinion. any investigation will difference of opinions. that doesn't mean the case had to be re-prosecuted. the doj is not a political animal. it's an independent entity that stands for jus

mrs. clinton to testify to congress and her top campaign aides about what they knew and when about the collaborationcampaign with russia to target donald trump and christopher steele and glenn simpson with the justice department and the fbi under the obama administration to target donald trump and his people. heather: let's talk about this indictment in the uranium investigation. is this just the beginning of this? who do you think is next? >> there is a 2-headed snake when it comes to the uranium one scandal, during the obama administration to get a certain result which was allow the state owned firms to get their piece of the pie, and whether to increase their market share. and anti-to russian activities in the united states. the question is, is there going to be a follow-up with hillary clinton, the same group involved in kickbacks and bribery tied to the clinton foundation and the obama administration. heather: and the massive amount of money they raised was when the this investigation begin and why we just now getting an indictment and to the obama administration know about this at the time the

clinton. three weeks earlier, mr.apadopoulos has been told moscow had thousands of e-mails that would embarrass mrs. clinton that were apparently stolen. president trump tweeted this signaling where he thinks the focus should be, quote, crooked hillary clinton's top aide, abedin put classified pass words into the hands of foreign agents. sailors pictures on submarine? jail. also on comey and others. someone who was at the sister, former director of national intelligence george clapper. >> you were the director when the fbi launched its investigation. was george papadopoulos a major factor in the launch of the investigation? >> well, not to my knowledge contempt radiancely. george papadopoulos was a name that was not on my radar scope at the time. and the first i knew about him and his role was when the plea bargain was announced. the short answer to your question is no, i was not a name known to me at the time. >> there's a lot you can't say, but there were other factors that launched the investigation, not just georg

mrs. clinton. >> bill: i need a flow chart. slow you down a moment.re arguing then is we don't need an investigation to investigate our government. >> no, i'm saying we don't need a special counsel, another bob mueller independent of the doj. >> bill: it's pretty much the same thing. if you are going to argue that you have not met the threshold by which you should be able to appoint a special counsel. you disagree with that. >> meaning the justice department and f.b.i. have access to investigate other aspects of the justice department and the f.b.i. without a special counsel. these special counsels are dangerous, as manafort has argued. they get out on a tangent and indict people for things with nothing to do with what their charge is. >> bill: one more question on this. if you are a republican sitting in the hearings getting all this evidence about text messages etc., don't you think something smells and should be looked at? >> yes. >> bill: so that you and i and everybody else, republicans and democrats alike have a trust? >> correct, that's the exa

mrs. clinton off the hook. >> dana: do you think there was malfeasance in the loss of the text messages or was it innocent and technical. >> i don't know, dana. it's possible it was innocent. that it was technical. the problem is it's a strange coincidence it involves a period of time and texts that relate to the mueller investigation. when you layer that on other strange and you know fortunate coincidences like the same agents appearing in investigations involving donald trump and hillary clinton with a extreme bias against trump and for clinton, that would cause any reasonable person to question the objectivity of the folks involved. >> senator ron johnson was talk about the text. >> there is so much smoke here. so much indication of unbelievable corruption, you know with some individuals at the highest levels of the fbi. >> dana: one of the text that's he told ryan about was strzok said there is no there, there when it comes to the allegations of russian collusion somewher. i guess finding these texts could help the trump administration. >> there is a real question here. when you look a

mrs. clinton turned up evidence that is true it's hard to complain. if they used flimsy disinformation to use to cast a cloud for the election. >> jon: an interesting chain of questions about what happened in the hillary clinton email investigation beginning with the fact there were no grand jury investigations. >> it looks like a fix was in from the justice department. in fairness mr. comey wasn't in charge of making those decisions on immunity or the grand jury. but he could have stood up and said i'm not going to preside over an investigation that's not true and resigned. i think that would have been an honorable way to exit. >> jon: one of the big stories out there now. a lot of them getting swallowed up by the government shutdown. >> a lot of people don't want to know, let's put it that way. >> jon: interesting column in the "wall street journal." thanks for being here. >> melissa: new concerns by the tsa that terrorists will try to plant a bomb on a u.s.-bound flight prompting stricter guidelines for cargo on flights from five mostly muslim nati

clinton: thank you very much. mr. speaker, mr. president, members of the 103rd congress, my fellow americans, i'm not at all sure what speech is in the teleprompter tonight, but i hope we can talk about the state of the union. i ask you to begin by recalling the memory of the giant who presided over this chamber with such force and grace. tip o'neill liked to call himself "a man of the house." and he surely was that. but even more, he was a man of the people, a bricklayer's son who helped to build the great american middle class. tip o'neill never forgot who he was, where he came from, or who sent him here. tonight he's smiling down on us for the first time from the lord's gallery. but in his honor, may we, too, always remember who we are, where we come from, and who sent us here. [applause] if we do that we will return over and over again to the principle that if we simply give ordinary people equal opportunity, quality education, and a fair shot at the american dream, they will do extraordinary things. we gather tonight in a wor
