white house. here's the resignation letter from john bolton. it's dated today, september 10. john roberts white house. what have you learned. anything more? >> yeah, he's usually a man of a few words. this one takes the cake. i just got a copy of this. dated today, by the way, not yesterday. he writes, dear mr. president, i hereby recent effective immediately as assistant to the president for national security affairs. thank you for having affording me an opportunity to serve the country. to the point. now back to former ambassador to the united nations, john bolton. shep, it's the timeline here which is an interesting fight. i was told that the two men had quite a spirited conversation about afghanistan last night. it's no secret. people close to him let it be known that john bolton did not agree with allowing the taliban to come to camp david, did not agree with the overall parameters of the peace plan. that the former ambassador to afghanistan was negotiating on behalf of secretary mike pompeo and that was kind of i believe how this discussion sort of got heated. last night according t

john roberts, you're live at the white house. bring you in here. >> reporter: the thing with justin trudeau here is, the entire time he's been in office, he was elected as a member of canadian parliament back in 2000. he was son of the prime minister, elliott trudeau, one of canada's most famous prime ministers. as for this idea of privilege comes from that. he's up for re-election in october. i think the 21st is the election day there in canada. and ever since he was elected, actually the platform that he ran on was as a champion of multiculturalism and diversity. >> dana: john, he is taking another question in english. let's listen in. >> -- were to declare this had happened. >> quite frankly i was embarrassed. it was not something that represents the person i have become, the leader i try to be, and it was really embarrassing. >> dana: we are back here. we are going to keep john roberts at the white house. let's bring in juan williams, co-host of "the five." we've been waiting for this all hour. juan, this is pretty explosive

john roberts at the white house with more, hey, john roberts. >> i thought you were going to say johnte house. >> neil: that would be interesting. >> that would be interesting no question about that. something has bubbled up and this has come from advisors who called the white house to say this is something that should happen. also people that should work at the white house who say they should happen. and that is, like henry kissinger between 1973 and 1975, mike pompeo should not would be the secretary of state but also take on the role of national security advisor as well. that was something that richard nixon did with kissinger, but when gerald ford took over from nixon, he removed the title of national security advisor from kissinger and just headed to the secretary of state. could mike pompeo do the job? absolutely no question about it because he runs a lot of the national security council meetings anyways. in some ways, i'm told, john bolton more of a liaison between the council and the president. and then a strong national security of advisor. in fact, bolton had been kept out o

john roberts at the white house with more from the president. mike emanuel with the latest on democrats and their call to impeach. let's start with catherine herridge. you got the document. you reported on it. when you first got it, in the hours you have had since to digest it, what sticks out to you? >> reporter: well, what stuck out to me, dana, at this hearing is that joe maguire testified that he really had two hurdles he had to deal with right out of the gate. the first dealt with the question over whether the whistle blower complaint met the standard of an urgent concern and maguire testified that based on the statute, it had to involve classified information, a possible violation of law and had to do with intelligence activities. he concluded as well as the justice department of legal counsel that it was diplomatic activity, it was not an intelligence activity, so it did not meet the urgent concern standard. and the reason that matters is because at that point, the clock stopped in terms of congressional notification 'cause the statute is

alive at the white house with the president is set to meet with republican congressional leaders, why kentucky senator rand paul says he's actually glad to see bolton go. first, john roberts of the white house with more. >> this was something that's been bubbling around for a whil while. i was informed yesterday by confidential sources that look like bolton was probably on the way out. today it happens, we got his resignation letter in his typically unvarnished fashion. "i hereby resign effective immediately as assistant to the president for national security affairs. they give are having afforded me this opportunity to serve our country." there've been disagreements between bolton and the president through most of bolton's tenure, things like afghanistan, iran, north korea, russian interference in the american election, venezuela and more. a source told me "at some point it becomes inevitable that the relationship had to end. bolton's approach was to provide national security advice based on a coherent philosophy and that it was difficult to carry that out in this white house but it was the white house who says bolton was out of step. listen. >> last night to the preside

john roberts at the white house.e tele- band warning president trump now that the decision to cancel peace talks will cost more american lives. from that angle jennifer and -- jennifer griffin from the pentagon. >> to follow up on what john roberts said, it wasn't just the afghan government that had been left out of those talks about making peace with the taliban but john bolton invited a few weeks back when the president met advisors at bedminster. i think the president knew that bolton did not think that the way these talks were going were going to produce a peace corps. president trump said moments ago that he called off that secret meeting to hammer out the deal with the taliban at camp david after the fourth american soldier and two weeks was killed in a taliban attack. the body of the american soldier killed in obama attack near the u.s. embassy was flown back to the united states late saturday. sergeant ellis ortiz, age 34. secretary of state mike pompeo to receive his coffin saturday night but not the preside

rememberthat freed them from white minority rule, oppression. remember that robertg the white minority rule government of ian smith in then rhodesia, and he was then denied the right to bury his own son at the time. and he became president, he set up an amazing education system, from which millions of zimbabweans are still benefiting today. so a mixed bag of the reaction to robert mugabe's death today. milton, many people are asking the question, what on earth went wrong? why would he turn on his own people? and some a nalysts a re turn on his own people? and some analysts are pointing to his treatment in prison in harrare. as you said, the death of his young son and the refusal to attend the funeral. his treatment in prison, not spoken of, but pretty key, what went wrong? he became increasingly better as he grew older, and he clung onto power too long. and in the end he got to a point where he was not making progress. he spent the better part of the first decade of his presidency doing very well in zimbabwe. they were exporting grain and many other commodities acro

white house is unprecedented. neil? >> neil: thanks very much. john roberts at the white house, how the president is handling all of this. hi, john. >> the president is complaining a lot about it when the president touched down in joint base andrews after coming from three days at the united nations. he said what he thought was going on in the house intelligence committee is a disgrace. we learned that before the president left, he had a fund raiser and the other was at the intercontinental hotel at the barclay hotel where the president was having a lot of meetings, he met with a staff from the u.s. mission to the united nations where he went off on the whistle-blower and the people at the white house that gave the whistle-blower the information about the telephone call with volodymyr zelensky, the ukrainian president. according to an audio reporting obtained by the l.a. times, the president said he or she or whoever the hell it is, they're almost a spy. who is the person that gave the whistle-blower the information because that is close to a spy. you know wh

john roberts is live from the white house. a mea culpa at minimum. >> yeah, what you saw there is a reflection of his personality. i grew up in canada. his father was prime minister when i was a young boy. he is, as you've seen other politicians, they try to explain it, rationalize it, some people try to deny it. he's trying to absorb all of the blame, all of the shock on himself to say i'm saying that i'm very sorry about this, i didn't know, i was a child of privilege. with privilege comes a blind spot. forgive me and go on. it's important that canadians do forgive him. october 21, there is an election. as you pointed out, the race is tight and has the conservative party at 35%. the liberal party at 34%. unlike here in the united states where we vote for the president, the leader of the party that wins the most seats in parliament becomes the prime minister. so trudeau was seen above andrew sheerer ago the better leader. whether this changes that remains to be seen. this may be something that he can weather and maybe somethi

we are going to go back to the white house for a moment, because our john roberts was among the reporters to the two secretaries. do we have our guest back? christian white? give us moment through to read this happen sometimes in breaking news. you were just answering a question prayed let's move onto the next. knowing what you do about the president's policy, why choose a catholic john bolton the first place? he's hawkish, he speaks his min mind. >> i think at the time the president needed a gunslinger. he still had people like general mattis, who did the job he was primarily signed at the pentagon, of killing isis. but it wasn't translating the presidents strategic vision interview foreign policy of the primitive defense. in the ever growing pains of a demonstration that you have in any sort of revolutionary-type administration like this. it's helpful in that circumstance to have. moving into the position we are in, going to the reelection, making some of the changes away from counterinsurgency that we've been focused on since 9/11 into a strategic competition with china. i think the pr

john roberts at the white house. thanks. alex little now, criminal defense attorney, former assistant u.s. attorney and former cia analyst. good of you to be here again. thank you. >> good afternoon. >> shepard: rather than leaking say to a newspaper or someone else, this whistle-blower goes through what is deemed the proper channels. the next step is the inspector general says a, it's credible, b it's urgent. the next step is to send it to congress. that hasn't happened. is that legal? >> it's not what the law says should happen. here's a hole. apparently if the whistle-blower is making accusations about the president of the united states which appears to be the case, the administration is taking the position that it's outside of the purview of the inspector general because the president is not part of the intelligence community. it's an argument that has logical sense to it. it raises the question of when someone in the administration finds evidence or believes the president has acted in a manner contrary to u.s. interests

the white house says the president has nothing to hide and the release of the complaint changes nothing. john roberts continues team fox coverage live at the white house. john? >> shep, we started this hour with some reporting according to "the new york times." the person who filed that whistle-blower complaint with the intelligence community inspector general was a cia agent that was detailed to the white house and received information from white house officials about that call. it's also believed by "the new york times" again that this person had extensive knowledge of the process for transcribing and archiving calls here at the white house and also had a lot of expertise about the ukraine, which may narrow down a little bit the possibilities of who this person is. the "new york times" is also reporting in a separate report that this morning a meeting with the u.s. mission to the united nations that the president said he wanted to know who the person is that filed the complaint and who gave that person the information. the president is saying that is close to a spy adding, you know what we used to

thirst for power left zimbabwe rowan's hoda abdel-hamid takes a look back at robert mugabe's life. 965 rhodesia ian smith his white settlers declare independence from britain an event that defined robert mugabe's life and still holds his country the black majority resisted races through in the cities and out in the countryside where a vicious bush war raged for years. robert mugabe a teacher turned activist emerged from prison as an articulate leader of the independence struggle we started the war in order to give our country and we haven't got our country they did get their country at lancaster house in london in 1979. and when zimbabwe celebrated independence mugabe the overwhelming winner of elections was in power. and soon showing revival liberation fighters what he'd do to keep it might the belly land in the early eighty's the opposition crushed thousands killed in ethnic massacres atrocities that were barely noticed abroad but there was also much to admire racial reconciliation education and health for millions of zimbabweans although later the economy declined and the invasions of white farms in the year 20

john roberts is live at the white house for us this afternoon. >> good afternoon to you. i think that we saw corey lewandowski strategy right from the get-go. with this hearing. doing his best to just stymie the democrats, particularly the chairman nadler and use whatever tactics possible to delay this. that's when nadler asked him a question about the mueller report and lewandowski went on and ran out the clock and the chairman's time by saying i don't have a copy of the report. i need a citation. i cannot answer a question about the report without having it in front of me. they went into an argument about whether to stop the clock or keep the clock going. you did not know if you are watching a hearing or football or a hockey game in terms of that. and i went on there. but lewandowski answering some questions from the republican side. clearly he is getting friendly questions from the republican side. but they go some distance to answering democratic hank johnson from george's questions about the statement to that lewandowski wrote down that the president dictated to him.

. >> martha: turning point usa and committee member and democratic strategist, robert, the white house says there is no there there. what do you think? >> so why are they covering it up? why is the president not releasing the transcript of his conversation? why was he evasive when he was asked in the oval office about his conversation? why did rudy giuliani lie about whether he in fact asked that joe biden's son be investigate a? most of all, why are they violating the whistle-blower law? and why is the white house instructing the independent inspector general from reporting to congress the whistle-blower complaint was marked as urgent and an issue of national security. >> martha: those are all good questions. charlie, that is the one element here, if there isn't anything there, and it's not a big deal, why put up such a brick wall? at the doj is also involved to prevent it from getting out. >> this is only a couple days old so let's let this play out. first of all the president has constitutional authority and ability to craft foreign policy. usually those conversations should remain

chief white house correspondent john roberts' life at the white house with more on that one. she said she's very excited. >> yeah. one of the reasons why is because a central part of the whistle-blower complaint appears to have been confirmed. the white house confirming what we knew to be the case yesterday, and that is that lawyers of the white house -- we don't know if it's a white house counsel's office or lawyers for the national security council -- directed the transcript of the president's call with president zelensky of ukraine to be moved to a highly secure computer system. the question is, why was it moved? to back was this a one-off directive, or is it standard operating procedure at the white house to keep all transcripts with foreign leaders on the system? the white house will not talk about that aspect of it. all we know right now is that the transcript was moved, but we have no idea of the context of why it was moved. it is the case that early in the administration phone calls that the president had with then- then-australian prime minister trumbull and the then

chief white house correspondent john roberts' life with more of the facts. they don't care about your feelings. >> the facts matter and, you're right, they don't care about your feelings. the facts are facts. "the new york times" is guilty of admission of choice at best, journalistic malpractice of the worst. this after a piece of the week and detailed new allegations against justice brett kavanaugh when he was at yale. the article says a former classmate of kavanaugh, max stier, whence dominic minnis and peering in and in proper way to female student. the incident is detailed in a new book, in which they say in the book that female students declined to be interviewed and that her friends say that she does not recall the incident happening. the key fact that she does not recall such an incident was left out of "the new york times" article. president trump, yesterday tweeted that kavanaugh should sue "the new york times" for libel, this morning said, "just out, kavanaugh accuser doesn't recall incident. do you believe what these horrible people will do or say

john roberts live at the white house. >> since the el paso, dayton and odessa shootings, the president has said they be there as loopholes and background check legislation. right now the ceos coming here's the letter they sent, they are looking to the senate o take action. a lot of people say the house has been taking action by the senate hasn't been doing anything. this ceo say "we urge the senate to stand with the america public and take a stand on gun safety by passing a bill requiring background checks on all gun sales on a strong red flag law." the president to support these red flag laws, as they are called, red flag protection orders. the question is how far is he willing to go on the issue of background checks? the white house is don't expect president to make any public announcements about that today. west virginia senator joe manchin who together with republican pat toomey and democrat chris murphy had put together a measure that would expand background checks, he says he may hear something by days end. >> i'm encouraged. we will find out today. the president knows it's all u

chief white house correspondent john roberts is inside the white house briefing room to talk more about this. actually, you are not there yet, but that's where you're headed. >> i didn't want to risk the chance that they would come out in the middle of all this, because we want to talk about the immigration, and the peace talks with the taliban. first, to the immigration numbers. the peak of this year was back in may, 144,000 people crossing the southern border illegally. that is declined, as he mentioned. a 60% reduction. it is typical, historically speaking, for there to be a reduction in the number of illegal i don't like migrants over the heat of the summer months. it starts to crawl back up again in september. but the president has been citing unprecedented cooperation from mexico and keeping people from traversing through mexico and coming toward the u.s. border. we will probably hear from mark morgan about that. also, an important court ruling just moments ago, reinstating the president's plan to deny asylum claims to people who transit to third countries before coming to the uni

robert mugabe! he was once zimbabwe's liberator, leading a war against white minority rule. t mugabe once enjoyed was gone. he cemented his power winning overwhelmingly at elections in 1980. as leader of a new nation he set about creating a better country than the one he inherited. and for a while he succeeded. there can never be any return to the state of armed conflict which existed before our commitment to peace and the democratic process of election under the lancaster house agreement. surely, this is now time to beat our swords into ploughshares. but beneath the veneer lay a dark side. mr mugabe deployed a crack military unit to southern zimbabwe to deal with hundreds of insurgents. between 1983 and 1987, thousands were murdered and the world turned a blind eye. mugabe was the great hope. but as the 1990s ended, the economy was bottoming out and a new political party was on the rise. seemingly desperate to regain popularity, mr mugabe played a political hand. land seized by the colonial government was still in the hands of the white minority. sensing the frustration, mug

should the united states respond, kentucky senator rand paul on that in just a moment, but john roberts at the white house with the very latest. >> good afternoon, one of the reasons the oil prices are coming down is because the oil minister today said that 50% of the production that was taken off-line by the taxes have been restored, and the oil facilities will be back up to full production by the end of this month. and already export levels are back to where they were prior to the attack. the u.s. and saudi teams are on the ground at the producing facilities, providing missiles that were involved, telling fox news that there is high confidence that the cruise missiles and drones were launched from southwest iran, and not to gammon as iran has claimed, president trump has not officially declared that they were behind the attack, but speaking at the heritage foundation this morning, mike prince mirroring the president's tough talk over the weekend. listen here. >> as the president said, we do not want war with anybody. but the united states is prepared. we are locked and loaded. and we are ready to
