nunez and mr.ers of the freedom caucus and now judge ellis and three different prongs to the attack and hope that our efforts will finally get the scope document released and so the people can see what mr. muller is up to. >> and the judge who dismissed special counsel's efforts to delay arraignment in the case of the russians -- i mean, >> right. >> lou: it is a mess created by the special counsel that is deeply conflicted and they are partisan and politically corrupted by what the president called 13 angry democrats many of whom who have had prosecutions overturned and who have wronged individuals and their families. it is really a disturbing, disturbing set of circumstances that surround bob muller's special counsel group. >> remember, lou, muller was running around three months without a mission statement and scope. he was appointed in midmay and it was not until august that rosenstein generated a document describing what he is supposed to be doing. and he was an unguided missile with no accoun

i was on the phone with nunez and was put out. that is why he is angry, you're right to point that out which is some of the justice department and fbi seems to think the second meeting nunez will not attend. >> >> he is planning on going saying i see you at 2:00 pm because he is a member of the gang of 8, chairman of the house until, the gang of 8, top republican and top democrat, democrat republican on senate intel, seems like everything nunez will get one meeting and we will tell the other leaders, he says i'm gone. >> he is part of the gang of 8 but -- >> hard to believe. >> pleading to go to both. senate judiciary chairman chuck grassley challenging doj over extensive reductions showing text messages between fbi officials peter t lisa page who had a bias against the president. suggesting former pres. obama's white house is, quote, running this but no idea what that text was referring to. the letter sent wednesday to deputy attorney general rod rosenstein called for reductions in these texts to be removed by june 6th, rosenstei

department could harm -- could risk lives and could have serious consequences and national security but nunez is not buying that warning that he's -- he wants to move forward on a contempt resolution to hold jeff sessions, the attorney general, in contempt. now earlier today at a press conference in california, jeff sessions was asked about this and he made it very clear he's not going to comply with nunez's request. >> the department of justice is written him a letter in responded -- as appropriate to him. the request he's made is one that the intelligence

i support chairman nunez and his , somes to get information of that information i am not even privy to because i'm not on the intel committee. idon't need to see it or it am not really subject to that because it is really his committee. the other part of that is there is nothing in statute that would suggest that the actions that the department of justice is taking are appropriate. you may get a counter narrative you cover this stuff and you get one side of the story from me and one from another, so let's make a little news. i'm willing to come back and join deputy attorney general rod rosenstein, we will sit together. he can bring his talking points, i will bring my facts and we will be able to debated back and forth and you can moderate that. we will be glad to do that. i am so sure of the evidence we and the manner of which we've gone about this that there is no good excuse for the department of justice to continue this. you spoken directly to the deputy attorney general and we reported they have concerns about an intelligence source of theirs that could be compromised , has that ob

when one party representative nunez who so clearly wants to distort national security information for partisan purposes, asks for a solitary briefing, there shouldn't be a briefing at all. our preference would still be for the justice department to cancel the briefing today. but if it goes forward, there should be one briefing and one briefing only. bipartisan gang of eight. it's also wholly inappropriate that general kelly is at all involved in these briefings. the white house should never be allowed to interfere in an ongoing d.o.j. investigation, but it's absolutely beyond the pale that they're interfering in an investigation involving the president and his campaign. the person and peep being investigated are being briefed on their investigation before it concludes. that doesn't happen in our justice system no matter who you are. americans will rightly wonder why general kelly was present. to erase their doubts? he should skip the meeting. alongside all the capital action on capitol hill today, president trump continues to fabricate a false narrative about deep staked bias against

senate democratic leader chuck schumer lashing out charging this shows nunez is trying to help the pres. undermine robert mueller's probe. the pres. brushed that aside with remarks where he asserted this is legitimate pursuit of the truth and there has been skepticism, last year when the president charged the obama administration conducted surveillance he was boosted by the fact that the former campaign aide michael caputo said he was approached by a second informant in a trump campaign. >> i was approached by an intermediary who had been talking to a government official who told him they had hillary clinton-related emails at that government organization, wanted to get them to the trump campaign. >> if they had spies in my campaign that would be a disgrace to the country, one of the biggest insult anyone has ever seen and would be very illegal aside from everything else, probably make every political event ever look like small potatoes. >> reporter: he asked for clearance to reveal more details but the individual, the information that was mentioned now says they had never been a contrac

>> he has a different interpretation than nunez.e content and said there were major problems and questions about why this investigation started in the first place and there was no intelligence to back that up. but gowdy said he supports the mueller probe and has more questions but not going as far as the criticism of nunez. >> so reading documents might have an impact on what you know and think about the investigation. manu raju, thank you. >>> and joining me now, kim whaley and laura coats. let's turn to the mueller investigation. the trump legal and special counsel robert mueller are making a final push toward whether there will be a presidential interview and a source familiar with the discussion said there is a 50/50 chance that the two will sit down. take a listen to what president trump had to say about this earlier today. >> nobody wants to speak more than me. in fact, against my lawyers because most lawyers say never speak on anything. if i thought it was fair, i would override my lawyers. >> do you think he's setting the st

we start with devin nunez and a california congressman. you say that you will move to hold the attorney general of the united states in contempt of congress. explain how they are slow walking and using redakzs in the name of national court and how they are unwilling to answer congress' subpeona and how that is the constitutional role of congress. >> thank you, sean. you don't have enough time inferred to get to all of the stone walling that the doy and fbi did in our investigation. maybe pick a few in the top. last week after six weeks, we discovered that first time american people know that james comey testified before congress that he was not, that the fbi agents that intruped flynn was not lying. took six weeks to get rid of those redackition. and fusion gps and documents pertinent with that fight. and the fact that we were not able to figure out they knew that the clinton campaign and democratic national community paid for the dirt. >> sean: how long. we didn't find out for a year later. >> we believe they knew it from the beginning. >

devon nunez. max will be with us reacting this morning as we look ahead on sunday morn futures. >>> the showdown on immigration within did ranks are sinking this bill on friday night. gop leadership is trying to kick the can down the road. promising to bring it up next month. they would like to see movement on immigration now. president trump would like to make it clear he would like congress to act. he will seek funding on his border wallace soon as possible. steve will join us with more. there is more reaction from the white house. joining us now is kellyann conway. >> my pleasure. >> is the white house at odds? >> this president couldn't be more clear. he would like the border wall. he was disappointed in the package that was insufficient. something similar was approved. he said i'll sign it but never send this to me again. it included over $700 billion for our military. the first pay raise in years. $4 billion for school safety. there was a lot of good things in there. the border wall needs to

chairman nunez has requested all documents related to intelligence sourcewill . will he get to see all the documents? >> reporter: the president asked chief of staff kelly to set up the meeting. it is set to take place on thursday this week. the individuals expected to attend are chairman nunez, chairman gowdy, fbi director wray, dni director croates and d.o.j. director ed o'callahan. no one from the white house will attend. >> north koreans are bringing in george i journalists to see a denuclearization site. what are the white house's comments on this? >> i don't have any comments on that. >> reporter: can you tell us the outcome of discussions between the south korean president and president trump today about the size and cost of u.s. troops in south korea? >> the focus, at least in the meeting that i was in, that specifically did not come up but certainly conversations primarily centered around preparations towards the scheduled summit. darlene. >> reporter: you said no one from the white house staff will attend the meeting on thursday. does that not mean that

i support nunez and what he's doing because he's uncovering the truth.hankfully there are a lot of things that we have already found a raise serious questions about what the fbi has done. there is more that we need to get information on, and a look, the fbi is stonewalling. i don't know why justice is etrying to hide information but we will use every tool we have to get the facts out and ultimately continue this investigation. >> robert rosenstein begged paul ryan up to the final hour, and we have slow walking. we have reductions, we have claims of national security thad turn out to be false and erroneous. congress has a constitutional role of oversight. they have a right to the documents and i know the attorney general is recused, but this is congress' role, and they are not providing the information that they legitimately deserve. >> congress as well as the function that we've been actually carrying out with the oversight committee. if you look at what chairman nunez and his intelligence committee have been doing they have already uncovered things that

reporter: a courageous man he says of nunez.y the way, trish, rudy giuliani telling fox over the weekend he says robert mueller told him if mueller is able to interview the president by mid-july he could have the probe that at least relates to russia collusion, jim comey, and issues affiliated with that, wrapped up by september 1st. a lot of possibilities and ifs there. we know this timeline has changed. speaking of timelines, 42 minutes from now the president, rod rosenstein, chris wray here at the white house and others. trish? trish: everybody has a lot of questions as do we. thank you very much, blake. i do want to point out we're not revealing identity or suspected identity of this person because that would be perhaps a security concern. so with that in mind i want to go right now to fox news national security strategist and former deputy assistant to president trump, dr. sebastian gorka. and, dr. gorka, before we go down the path how bad this is and we will go down that path, to me this is outrageous, idea of potentially o

it is always barbing nunez. he's the boogie man. meanwhile they don't go to the substance of the problem. >> it is remarkable that, you know nunez i think is actually doing the work of the people, in terms of someone having a check on what's gone on in these investigations. it is appropriate that be investigated. it is just remarkable to me. right as t we're looking at this report that has he's redactions that are so ridiculous that even the justice department can't just them. that's why they put them out. you have to wonder everything else they're withholding. consider are they withholding it. they're attack nunez. you think they would attack the people holding back the documents. the oneum fair criticism they make. ultimately the president is in charge of the executive branch and he's got to do, to my mind he's got to do a lot more than tweet he's ing gry there's not enough cooperation. i think he needs to give people orders tope cooperate. >> laura: the judge ellis the district of columbia. a no-nonsense judge. reagan appointee.

house intelligence chairman devon nunez is not backing down.e latest showdown with the justice department over allegations of abuse of power. a scare in indonesia, the harrowing scene of residences evacuating after a volcano erupts. police officers one step closer to using cocaine breathalyzers. the high-technology features in its tiny chip coming up. the queen of comedy back at the box office. >> we got to make you change it. >> we don't know where that is. >> no! >> are you 20? >> 21. maria: breaking down the new movie life of the party. that is coming up. a justice department showdown, devon nunez says talks with the justice department about handing over classified documents related to the russia probe will continue calling discussions with officials productive, and requested documents about a specific individual described as a longtime intelligence source for the cia and fbi. >> this request is wholly appropriate and completely within the scope of the investigation ongoing for a while with respect to f i sa, this is something that should ha

s response and chairman nunez, jordan, galilee and others is bring on. we don't care. whatever is in the service of the president we are willing to do. this is a dramatic, new district of low for the congress of the united states to ignore the warnings of the fbi and justice department and potentially risk people's lives? >> it is silly for the promise of justice, republican memo that came out several months ago we were told again and again this will jeopardize american lives at national security and the have not even seen it. they making that claimant hadn't seen our memo. show me anything in their, what it is is embarrass the fbi and the part of justice leadership. making the same claim now, you're going to endanger american lives, national security and so much so but then they leaked it or someone did. they haven't shown it to the committee so they will show it and share it with the press at their favorite reporters but not congress and that -- for mr. schiff to say republicans want to endanger national security is silly. we are the select committee on intelligence

nunez threatened rod rosenstein with context and impeachment to get the documents.porter: well, jim, for months nunez said the justice department was stonewalling, avoiding his document request because it was hiding. nunez said he was focused on getting one document in particular, an unredacted copy of the one that kicked off the fbi russia investigation. saying it was absolutely essential to his understanding of what happened. but when it came for him to come over to the justice department to review it with his fellow republican congressman trey gowdy, multiple sources now tell us that he didn't actually read it. instead, he left a copy unopened in a foldner front of him. why? we don't know. but it is not the first time he's done this. in the past, he's subpoenaed a number of highly classified materials related to the russia investigation and including those controversial surveillance orders to monitor former trump campaign adviser carter page. but he didn't actually read those materials either when given the opportunity. here is how he explained it back in februar

that is why devin nunez is pushing hard for this and trey gowdy are pushing hard for this. about this, you hear the democrats attacking republicans, that is par for the course. the justice department has been undermining the oversight of congress completely over the last year. david: absolutely. >> republican-run justice department attacks devin nunez and his oversight investigations repeatedly. i guarranty you they didn't give him enough information today and still there are documents they're with holding, fascinating yesterday to see the tension between rod rosenstein, a same conference that president trump was at. they were trying to bury all of the antagonism between the two. it was clear it still existed. let me talk about president obama here, whether you want to call him a spy or an informant, cot fbi implanted this person into a presidential campaign without some kind of a approval or at least knowledge by the sitting president who was obama? >> the president was briefed on the dossier. you can bet he was briefed on this operation against the campaign, especially gi

and the they tout devin nunez was off of his rocker, it is all coming to fruition. >> devin nunez, everyonehought he was meeting bienterarly and meeting with skwlensigence officials in the white house grounds and the press made fun of him. basically all. concerns that he hinted at over a year ago came to fruition. and as tom pointed out. even the democrats are having to acknowledge that yes indeed, they did insert a spy into the political campaign. it is unprecedented. we heard of this kind much thing in the '60 and '70s. it is not as bad and extensive as this. these people are going and actively punishing people, political opponents which is shocking. >> jeanine: it is it shocking and the amazing part of it, greg, look, the republicans are looking at people whose names we only heard of. bill pres staff. he was director. and he helped to change the name from gross negligence to extremely careless and then michael stien back and colon. and these are people in the upper echlon of the f.b.i. and calm would before congress and you think they will take the fifth or tell us what happened? >> so f

devin niew nunez and tre gowdy. i have to tell you given rosenstein's track record, no way he's going to hand everything over. it's going to be a briefing and here's why. rosenstein wants to control the information begging paul ryan, don't release the information about fiza abuse. this will hold the key to all of the spying on the trump campaign. rosenstein has more problems than stone walling tonight. look at what law professor steve calabrese is arguing mueller is unconstitutional as the great one mark levine said last night citing the majority opinion. the basic problem, mueller is more powerful than 96 u.s. attorneys. he was never confirmed by the senate and robert mueller's appointment is unconstitutional rendering everything he has done since may 17, 2017 null and void. we have heard a couple of fridays ago, judge ellis iii designing to see the scope memo to give him the ability to carry out the witch hunt. he e advice rate e called out mr putting the screws to mannford to get him to sing. singers can also com

nunez or mr. gowdy are satisfied with the answers. >> lou: how soon will you find out. >> as soon as they hold a press conference. i would encourage them not to be shy but not violate security restrictions. but they can get in front of the camera and opine about the meeting and be frank of the documents and all sorts of details without discussing the actual substance that those gentlemen with convey to the public and they have a duty to do so. >> lou: the president made it clear. he wants total transparency and on the part of the department of justice and f.b.i. contact behavior and the leadership particularly. the department of justice and the f.b.i. have been stripped of their senior leadership in some cases in the f.b.i. all of it over the top five positions. and people are not. there is a debate with the dems in congress about whether or not they were culpable or guilty of briefing our constitution and law. my god, what is the debate about? it is clear and straightforward. >> the democrats at

in this case, the material devin nunez will embarrass the department of justice and fbi and likely toepresent misconduct and if not breaking of the law. >> reporter: the republican chairman said the dialogue will continue next week. they welcome an opportunity to work on a resolution. simpson did not respond to fox's question on the source. mar harthank you. representative peter king who sits on the intelligence commission. and thank you for joining us tonight. very strong piece by kim, suggesting that potentially an outfit in the trump campaign, do you think that is the case? >> we have reason that there could have been an fbi spy in the campaign and someone affiliated with the fbi and dealing with the people in the trump campaign. and that's one of the things we are trying to pin down and make sure it is the case. if it is, it raises serious questions. there is no reason why the investigation began in the first place and why the fisa was given. who role was it. if he was an fbi operative. and was he put there by the fbi? you have a fbi spying on the presidential campaign and there a

did not see the letter from chairman nunez and if not why not? >> i respect sessions incredibly.nswer, the intelligence agencies have determined, the intelligence agencies were underneath the pres. and coequal to congress and congress's article 1 before article to the pres. when we ask for documents that are redacted and marked up it is not us asking but the american people asking, we are representatives of the people. what you're hearing is the atty. gen. and intelligence agencies don't want to give documents to the american people so we can run our government of, by and for the people. >> they have been providing you the documents. don't know where this is coming across wires because they provided documents where people from the other side can look at hundreds of thousands of pages of documents. the russia investigation heavily redacted. there is an ongoing criminal investigation, a federal judge gave two weeks to cough it up. >> there is article 3, the judiciary, a judge stepped in and said you don't determine the scope, i do. the judiciary, why do they see the redacted docume

now that's not devin nunez saying that. that is lichtblau saying it. >> he has a tough, tough job to do. he needs to clean the place up. i've said this also publicly. we don't see a systemic problem out in the field with field agents or people overseas doing very difficult work. where we do see a problem is in washington, d.c.. now to director ray's credit, you have seen many of the comey-era people excused. that's a good sign. it would be better if he made sure we get this information we need in a timely manner. >> congressman, thank you for joining us tonight. here with reaction, our two esteemed attorney. an author of the new book "trumped up." great to see both of you. judge ellis, you know him well. i know him well from a long time ago when i was a litigator. he's an incredibly talented judge. senior judge on the eastern district. he just laid into the special counsel's office. he said, "i don't see what relationship this indictment has against manafort with anything the special counsel is authorized to investigate. it

and he has not stood in the way of devon nunez's attempts to get these documents and this pressure.at, of course, has led to coverage of an fbi informant that potentially jeopardizes national security. ryan was asked about that as well in his press conference and he essentially justified that too, which is, you know, frankly different than how republicans have handled this issue in the past. there have been many times when we have heard them talk about sources and methods and sources of course in this case are the people who are doing all of this work. so ryan in a tricky situation in his own conference. there are some moderate members who are angry about the way this is playing out and who do believe that there is there there, that it's possible that the trump campaign did something wrong. but, the center of gravity is with the president. and the president's basin side the house republican conference. and you're seeing paul ryan reflect that. >> kasie hunt on capitol hill. thanks for joining utz. i want to bring in the reporter for the daily beast who's out with a new piece talking

which you will remember is how the devon nunez shenanegan played out last year. he rushed to the white house to brief the president on shocking information he learned about, he learned from inside the white house, itself. >> that is the cycle. this seems to be fol. yet as itplay plays out, robert mueller is going about his work. michael kaput to was interviewed by the mueller team the focus is squarely on the one thing the president had most had a maadde mantly denied -- has hadded a mantly denied -- had adamantly denied, collusion. donald trump jr. wanted the dirt. after the meeting was over what he was most disappointed about is they didn't offer more. so his father apparently sees collusion like a vampire cease garlic. his sons see it as catnip to a new tabby. the president's new lawyers say even if it did happen, so what? >> that's what you do. maybe you shouldn't, you do it. nothing illegal about that. david, if it comes from a russian or a german or an american, it doesn't matter. >> rudy guiliani made more news late today. he told the pbs news hour the spe

nuÑez have been asking for more information on their surveillance activities and investigatory activities can you start up by explaining what is your issue with the way that the doj has conducted itself, mr. rosenstein and particular and where do those issues stand at this moment? in some of these meetings and treaties that have been entered into the last two days. >> i think probably the issue to answer your question as we get more rhetoric then we get action. for us, it is all about getting the documents, making sure that we get the documents that we have a constitutional right to have. oversight so to do many ofbeen requesting these documents since last november. here we are six or seven months into the process of a little over 12,000 documents have been delivered to our office. out of 1.2 million. wayhis rate, we will be into president trump's second term before we get even the majority of the documents. >> what are you seeking? >> the documents, our with thetion deal department of justice and the interactions we have two the 2016 election. the investigations they did into -- hillary

his spokesperson told me today that he has -- the speaker has not discussed this with nunez and would not say whether or not ryan would support this effort. so open question about whether or not there is enough support to hold sessions in contempt and with the white house comes down given the president's long time furs reagan with sessions, will they side with conservatives or their own attorney general. uncertainty. >> people don't believe devin nunes would do this unless he got some sort of green light from folks over at the white house. but more on that as well. manu, thank you very much. >>> we're also getting more on the breaking news on the president's promised announcement tomorrow on the iran nuclear deal. our chief national security correspondent jim sciutto is working his sources. >> as you know, in the days and weeks leading up to the decision, the may 12th deadline, you have a flood of diplomats, the french -- the british foreign secretary attempting to change president trump's mind on the iran deal. in effect keep the u.s. in the deal. but we have this statement now from

it has been no different than the effort taken by representative nunez. it is designed to let the president and his lawyers interfere with the mueller probe and get a peek at any potential evidence. that's why democrats on the committee, led by senator feinstein, have today released a document detailing the open threads of the committee's investigation, the interviews not conducted, the leads not followed, the information judiciary committee democrats provided today shows one thing thing -- committee democrats made -- made crystal clear that committee republicans are prematurely saying pencils down. there is much left to investigate. many witnesses still to be heard. many facts left to follow. the message of senate republicans on this investigation is, quote, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. the american people won't be fooled. they know the difference between a genuine search for truth and a whitewash. i remain hopeful that senators burr and warner are running down every lead and every thread. there is no doubt the senate intelligence comm
