in terms of jack smith what i find fascinating is to compare this strategy he has, calling people to testify in if they say no, let the courts decide. different from robert mohler, he did not want to litigate points. he had debates with his team about whether or not they should bring in witnesses that would be unfriendly. smith is thorough and relatively fast, he is the fastest tourist. he is saying he is able to push it to the courts, get a decision and keep moving. he will not hold back just because it could get messy or because there will have to be court intervention or appeals. >> they were the trump family ceo for decades. clearly as he sits in rikers island, he was willing to go to the mat for trump's family. how are these witnesses different? a lot of them have only known donald trump for 5-6 years and for a number of them he was not even nice to them. >> it is a interesting comparison to make. you have mike pence who was as loyal as he can be to a president before they tell you to overturn a election but i think the politics here is he wants to be seen as fighting. when you played the point where he said my lawyers will look into it, this is the

i'm john roberts in washington and, s sandra, weather correspondent made it to washington. >> i'm sandra smith, glad to be with you, john. this massive new tax and spend plan as inflation remains stubbornly high and as a brand new jobs report is just released by the labor department. it did show payrolls rising by 311,000 last month. that was higher than expected and as "the wall street journal" references what they see as evidence of resilient economic economy. >> the unemployment rate meanwhile ticked up to 3.6%, that's from the record low in january. >> but there's still a big question on what's coming down the pike as more rate hikes could be on the horizon. >> so with that in mind, let's get right to it with white house correspondent peter doocy. peter, the president believes the bulk of his economic proposal has a chance in congress. as least that's what he told you. >> he d. he told us that yesterday. john, president biden today is not backing off the big thing that puts his budget at risk,n t 28% tax rate, ronald reagan was a 28% tax rate. that wacko liberal guy. the idea that was an u

robert costa. >> reporter: a major ruling with potentially historic consequences. sources say former vice president mike pence has been ordered to provide testimony to special counsel jack smith's grand jury about any illegal acts committed by former president trump, and that private exchanges between trump and pence are not off limits. prosecutors are focused on conversations the two men had in the days before and on january 6th. >> hard to imagine a more important witness than the vice president himself telling a grand jury and potentially a jury if there were an indictment about what the president was doing on january 6th, what did he say, what were the plans that he communicated to the vice president or to others in the presence of the vice president. >> reporter: trump's lawyers had tried to block pence from testifying. pence, too, had argued he shouldn't have to testify because of his constitutional role in the legislative branch. >> the notion of compelling a former vice president to appear in court to testify against the president with whom they served is unprecedented. but i also believe it's unconstitutional. >> reporter: sources close to the investigation also say th

smith in new york. john, good to be you. >> john: always something. john roberts in washington. this is america reports. credit suisse their shares heading to an all time low, trading temporarily halted several times already. >> sandra: despite the collapse of two major u.s. banks this week, brand new inflation numbers indicating the fed could still move forward with an expected rate hike as soon as next week. what that means for you and your money. we've got fox team coverage. it begins now. >> john: first to our peter doocey who is traveling with the president, still in las vegas. how closely is the white house monitoring the markets today? >> reporter: john, they generally claim they don't follow the markets very closely because they say they don't think that is a good indicator of economic health. if that's different in this case, we hope to hear soon. we just haven't seen the president yet today. the dow has been down in the neighborhood in the last few minutes of about 700 points. so again, if we hear anything from the white house, we will bring that to you. there is a new

roberts in washington. good to see you today. >> gillian: gillian turner in for sandra smith, this is "america reports." so jurors there spent over an hour today at the crime scene, they toured the wooded area and the infamous dog kennels. >> john: jonathan is in the southeast bureau, monitoring the trial and the latest. what have we seen so far on the closing arguments, john? >> prosecution is taking a break in the middle of closing arguments. they are really trying to paint the portrait of a defendant who was a prominent member of the community but who was living a lie. they argue that alec murdaugh's lies were beginning to catch up with him, and so he committed the murders of his wife and son, the prosecution argues, in order to create a distraction and generate sympathy for himself. they brought up again the financial crimes that he is largely admitted to stealing money from some of his most vulnerable clients, some of his closest friends and his own law firm. the prosecution saying that it didn't matter to him that he would lie to anyone just to preserve his reputation and get away with what he was

robert costa has more. >> reporter: a major ruling with potentially historic consequences. sources say former vice president mike pence has been ordered to provide testimony to special counsel jack smith'sy illegal acts committed by former president trump. and that private exchanges between trump and pence are not off limits. prosecutors are focused on conversations the two men had in the days before and on january 6th. >> it's hard to imagine a more important witness than the vice president himself telling a grand jury and potentially a jury, if there were an indictment, about what the president was doing on january 6th. what did he say? what were the plans that he communicated to the vice president or to others in the presence of the vice president? >> reporter: trump's lawyers had tried to block pence from testifying. pence, too, had argued he shouldn't have to testify because of his constitutional role in the legislative branch. >> the notion of compelling a former vice president to appear in court to testify against the president with whom they served is unprecedented. but i also believe it's unconstitutional. >> reporter: sources close to the investigation also say the special cou

first of all, jack smith also has to exercise discretion. i would add that if we look at robert mueller, who was special counsel in recent memory, he used his discretion. if we look at his report, there are various things that he recommends or does not recommend in his discretion. but absolutely merrick garland has to take the broader view. now as to the documents case, what keeps coming to my mind is there's a concept in football in the nfl called offsetting penalties, and that means if both the offense and the defense happened to commit penalties on the same play even if their unequal even if one of the penalties is way worse than the other. the result is it wipes out the entire play and you sort of start back where you begin. now look, we can all understand analytically. there are important differences between the trump documents case and the biden documents case, trump had more documents. trump looks like he was obstructing. biden was not. however i think you're right. i think it's going to be very difficult for america, holland and he's allowed to think about this. to justi
