it was president trump at the white house in april who said that these charges that susan rice was involvedunmasking trump advisors was a massive story that much of the media was ignoring, as you say now, rice is firing back that this is an allegation that she says was made up out of whole cloth. she strongly suggests her race and gender played a role in the heat she faced, dating back to benghazi. rice choosing to air this claim and the friendly venue of the new york magazine profile in which the former national security advisor suggests other obama aides got close scrutiny because they were right. she says at one point, "why me, why not the press secretary who stood up more? she asked. she added, she doesn't know for a center gender is the reason before, well, invoking it. "i don't lead to the simple explanation that it is only race and gender, i'm trying to keep my theories to myself until i'm ready to come out with them. it's not because i don't have any." now, she left out of that the major factor that sparked a central role in benghazi, of course, when she misled the public and five s

been sort of ho-hum news, but when we saw that it included the nsa, the fbi, the cia, it included susan rice, powers, brennan, people became giddy with excitement that perhaps we will get to the truth finally. in responding to requestsvery for information regarding those foreign intelligence surveillance activityings. charles: i also hear the nsa is not exactly, you know, cooperating that much either. what do you make of it then? going back to the end of president obama, former president obama's term where he allowed -- he gave the power for so many people to be able to do this. obviously, creating an atmosphere where leaks became so much more possible. really rewrite history as to how the obama administration is viewed. charles: real quick, matthew, i want to get your thoughts of a report i saw in "the new york post" that journalists are now being surveilled to help find out where these leaks are possibly coming from. first, your thoughts on the legality of that, and do you would be a lot of concern trying to figure out where these leaks are coming from. charles: matthew whitaker, thank

did susan rice -- >> is she of interest to you? >> it's not clear to me what she may or may not know. i will say this about unmasking. it is a word that sounds ominous. it's something that happens every single day on the part of senior administration officials when they need to look at a masked u.s. person's name to understand the intelligence they are looking at. of course, it's something we take seriously here. you are, in fact, exposing a u.s. person's name to a senior official. as a result, that is surrounded by lawyers, audited by inspector generals. there are those making allegations if susan rice may have unmasked something. maybe she did. the question is was it unproper? i have no reason to believe it is. she has aggressively denied she did any improper unmasking. my guess is that's what the conversation is going to revolve around. >> chairman nunez, who kind of stepped aside from the investigation, will he be participating in the interview with susan rice? >> i would be surprised if that's the case. again, i have been list

susan rice has admitted that she did unmask when she said that she hadn't. a big deal because this is supposed to protect american citizens from foreign operatives who wish to do us harm. if there talking to americans and their names are revealed, it ultimately does them harm. >> trish: it feels very banana republic to me. this feels like something a government and south america would be pulling. this is not something that the united states government should be doing, not the kind of behavior you would expect of our leaders to be engaging in. this unmasking is very scary because this is all about them trying to influence who is actually running the country and a way that i think is very detrimental to our foundation and who we are. this is not right and this could turn out to be a very scary situation. >> kennedy: how many agencies can share information, it doesn't matter who your party is, what your gender is. it's wrong, it's a violation of civil liberties and we have to keep an eye on it. they are not offering tips on spicing things up in the boudoir, "co

why won't susan rice talk? >> bret: hillary clinton is obviously convinced of the linkage, the collusion, even though there's not evidence that we've seen. she talked about it at length today about the linkage and she believes the trump campaign is there. here are former clinton cia director and former obama cia director. "there's a lot of things i've seen, i think have been disclosed too much. the real scandal here, makes it hard for the secrecy that's essential for the operation of the u.s. government. i think people who have broken these tacit informal agreements taking classified information attorney lids are basically traitors to the country." then you have michael morel and the obama administration, acting cia director about the kushner story on "the washington post" " just a perspective of two former democratic cia directors. >> democratic is the keyword. they are not partisans. what they are speaking for is the institutions, and they are basically saying you might have a romantic notion. being a deep th

this is something that susan rice has adamantly denied and said she has done nothing withdrawn. people who have reviewed say she has done nothing wrong. she has agreed to testify behind closed doors as part of the investigation and the house side which is ramping up as they try to interview a number of high profile witnesses next month not only susan rice but roger stone and both trump advisers who agreed to talk to the committee in the coming weeks. >> they will be very busy. thanks very much. we are hearing new rumblings that senate leaders are not likely to draft compromise bill by tomorrow as hoped. let's go to ryan nobles up on capitol hill. we are learning more about the senate's plans impact on medicaid, as well. >> a new addition to the congressional budget office's report was released today. it predicts that medicaid funding will slow by 35% by 2036. it does gont eas far as to predict how many will come off the health insurance roles. this report comes as senate republicans continue to haggle over this legislation. tonight the white house is taking a more active role in

to the news that susan rice, who was asked to testify and said no to that senate intel committee, willow do so before the house committee. >> i'm glad that susan is going to show up. i think congress wants to hear exactly what happened. it's kind of interesting that we are at the point where lindsay graham, you've got rand paul, cannot get an answer to a very simple question. were they targeted, where they unmasked, hopefully we get answers to those questions. hopefully we also get better insight into exactly what the russians were planning to do in the 2016 election. we haven't heard that much. >> martha: it's two parts of two important elements. we need understand why they were on masse, if it was proper sheep claim, we need to -- if it's for some other reason, it's not. >> that's true. i think president trump created the pressure for susan rice to testify when he suggested that the unmasking is the real story, not what's going on with russia. >> martha: if the only illegality we know of so far. >> it's not illegal. >> martha: it's not illegal. >> it's illegal if you do it for politi

at the end of the day, samantha powers, clapper, susan rice, they could come up with nothing. the group of people being subpoenaed have far more checkered histories, one could argue. michael flynn, michael cohen. they're not peers of samantha power. >> well, they're totally different parties, first of all. >> yes. >> i don't want to pay you $2, so it is unprecedented we have this going on right now. i think nunez is actually trying to get to the bottom of what is going on. however, the timing of this is very concerning and it should not have been done in a freelance position. if any official, be it any administration, unmasks somebody for some sort of political motive, that is absolutely unacceptable. i think that nunez really needs to explain why he did it now, of all times, and why the president put out a tweet just the same morning that he did it. is he still colluding with the white house? >> ithe a chance it could blow up in his face though if they subpoena samantha power, susan rice, et cetera? if they were unmasking tied to bad behavior that members of the trump campaig

ainsley: condoleezza rice how do you think she was treated because susan rice said she took the same it worse. do you agree with that? >> i don't know off hand to be honest. i think that condoleezza rice, when we look at portrayals of her in international media, in u.s. media, calling her a raven and, you know, the whole military boots thing, the secretary of state of the united states had to defend a fashion choice that was actually a really fierce one, i think that looking at the way women are boxed in and the way that appearance and sue per plus things actually have to be discussed at all is something that we really should be advancing beyond. ainsley: you know, camille, i can understand when you are talking about gender when you don't get equal pay and dhifned thing. when she didn't do her job and she lies over and over and over at the national level on national television to all of us and people died in benghazi, why does it have to be about sexism? why does it have to be about racism? why can't it just be on the facts and her record? >> i think speculating about racism and gende

fox news confirmed there are three others for the obama administration officials, susan rice from theector john brennan and samantha pour. what do -- power. what do you think it means in terms of the unmasking? >> unmasking is letting out who you have intercepted communications from even if it was an accident. for example, the cia or nsa can't basically randomly spy on americans but sometimes if you're spying on a russian, diplomat, you'll pick up a conversation with an american and then in the document that is are put together the name of the american is masked, blacked out in some face but then if you go further and you unmask and you show it to that to people who don't have clearances or don't have a need to know, you for whatever reason, political or whatever you've done a very bad and daughters-in-law thing from the point of classified information. dagen: as a diplomat what business does she have requesting the unmasking of individuals? how often did it happen? who were the trump officials, what was the justification of it in. >> those are all great questions. i don't know. i've

susan rice has been a tar fet for the gop for whatever reason. we have very little insight into what the chairman is doing here. i think the only guidance we can get is that we hear coming out of the white house. this is what the white house wants to see happen. they'd rather be talking about these issues. again, the intelligence agencies have been cooperating with us. we do oversight all the time of issues of unmasking, so i'm not sure why there was a necessity to issue a subpoena for agencies that are already working with us unless the goal was simply to get publicity or perhaps obskcue the subpoenas. >> you may have seen the president's tweet earlier this morning. he tweeted the big story is the unmasking and surveillance of people that took place during the obama administration. clearly he and devin nunez are on the same page right now. i thought devin nunes had removed himself from the rush vchg investigation. >> clearly the president thinks it relates to the russia investigation. there are a couple issues here. one is that the chairman is s

he talks about he wants any information about unmasking requests from samantha power, from susan rice, from john brennan. >> well, as you just heard from phil mattingly's report, i think the nature of how these subpoenas were issued sort of betrays the motivation behind them. so you had four subpoenas that were issued on a bipartisan basis. that tells you that there's a legitimate oversight purpose being served with the issuance of those subpoenas. and then you have three that the republican chairman nunes acted alone in issuing and actually sort of violated his own previous commitment to step back from this investigation. so i think that tells you everything you need to know about the lack of any legitimacy to this. there's been plenty said and plenty of national security experts have explained that even though we don't know yet who might have been responsible for any unmasking that took place in this incident, if, say, someone like susan rice were to have sought it, it would have been entirely appropriate given the nature of what the u.s. government has been concerned about for thes

stuart: so why is all the publicity about comey and very little about susan rice, samantha power?wer -- who is a diplomat and that's it -- why is she, reportedly, asking for the names of people identified by the nsa? what on earth is going on? >> well, you know, it sounds like mischief, to me. if you look at from the point of view of an investigator, what is her need to know? i mean, you can have classified material given to you if you have the right clearances, but part of the process is that you have to have a need to know. what was her need to know? and the only thing i can think of is for political purposes, and that's not what it's all about. i think it was totally inappropriate not only for her to ask for it, but for the intelligence community to give it to her. that's even more troubling to me than the request. stuart: danny, what is your opinion of fbi director comey before, during and after the election? >> oh, my goodness. i think james comey's a good man. i've had meetings with him within the last couple of months, and i think he's a good man. i think he got off course

if susan rice and u.n. ambassador warned fact making a request of the elegance community that i want to listen to lindsey graham's conversation with the foreign person, that bothers me simply because i'm in a different branch of government. what national security value comes from having someone like susan rice be able to listen into conversations with the lyrical opponents and foreign leaders. pat to me would be be a great abuse of intelligence gathering. the question is did the obama industry should politicize intelligence? we won't know until we find out who made a request from asking how many americans were surveilled. on the 15th demo collections. how many were members of congress, how many requests in their conversations. >> we will see. good to see you, senator. >> more developing from london this hour. scott yards this afternoon is a major concert is about to begin in manchester. how do you keep this event safe today? we are their life in a moment. bill: fox news alert. what we are learning about ari

>> tom: hillary clinton, obama, susan rice. >> eric: susan rice went on five separate talkshows. >> eboniresent that, it has a racial connotation. >> eric: we will circle back with our specialists shelby holliday and tom fitton. don't go away. when they thought they should westart saving for retirement.le then we asked some older people when they actually did start saving. this gap between when we should start saving and when we actually do is one of the reasons why too many of us aren't prepared for retirement. just start as early as you can. it's going to pay off in the future. if we all start saving a little more today, we'll all be better prepared tomorrow. prudential. bring your challenges. >> kat: time to circle back with our specialists shelby holliday and tom fitton. tom, what did you think of the leaks and all that happened today? >> tom: 4.5 million people have security clearances and it's no surprise that someone like reality winner -- it's a serious issue. too many people have access to sensitive information in the casual approach to leaking classified information just because

former national security advisor susan rice, samantha power and former cia director john brennan all named in the subpoenas. a senior aid claims nunes was acting separately and he only recused himself. >> can this investigation continue? >> why would it not? >> in april nunes announced he was temporarily putting mike conway in charge of the russian probe. he faced a firestorm of criticism about how he handled classified materials when he obtained documents in a secret white house meeting. >> i have seen intelligence reports that clearly show that the president-elect and his team were, i guess, at least monitored. >> i don't agree with the chairman's characterization. >> the house rules state the chairman can issue subpoenas if he consults with the democrats. it is clear that did not happen in some cases. also this morning the president now weighing in on this debate over what this committee should be looking at. the president tweeting just within the last hour saying the big story is the unmasking and surveillance of people that took place during the obama administration. >> all righ

john brennan, former dreck of the cia, susan rice, former nationecity adviser and samantha power. of all obvus run and could as part of the intelligence community could unmasked names. that was part of his remix. susan rice is somewhat stranger because usually the national security advisor doesn't get involved at that level. the samantha power, totally unheard of. although she may be considered in some formal sense a part of the intelligence community. >> who knows. i think there is examination. maria: we will examine in the weeks to come. the thursday testimony will be important. michael mukasey, great to see you. thank you for your insights as always. getting back to live, do we know about the attackers. the man who oversaw the response to the boston marathon attack as you know who likes to be in control? this guy. check it out! self-appendectomy! oh, that's really attached. that's why i rent from national. where i get the control to choose any car in the aisle i want, not some car they choose for me. which makes me one smooth operator. ah! still a little tender. (vo) go nationa

at some point when you know john brennan, samantha power and susan rice had access to unmasked americanstelligence, the next obvious question is did they brief the president? did the president benefit from that? i'm certain as the summer winds on, we're going to get questions like that, and hopefully, a few answers. lou: and upcoming as well is the interrogation, if you will -- [laughter] the testimony of the former director of the fbi. >> sure. lou: i want to get your sense of that, because it seems to me that as one looks at the record of director comey amongst the first questions that should be asked by the panel is how is it you did not bring scandal after scandal after scandal to resolution and left open files and open cases that look for all the world like political, if you will, subterfuge rather than investigative success? >> june 8th is going to be a very big day for james comey to come back to the hill and testify before the senate. and i think it's going to be a little bit, i think it could be comey versus comey, which i think some of the words he uttered previously are going

susan rice, under president obama, will, indeed, testify in front of the house intelligence committees, the top ranking republican went after her bringing claims. she's going to talk. what else do you know? >> initially, she refused to appear in front of the committee. now she is going to appear, it's going to be a closed door session. she probably will talk about what she learned. a lot is classified information. she'll go into detail about what she knew about michael flynn. but, what we don't know is if she was actually involved in it or if there was any need to unmask michael flynn's information and the intelligence that they have learned. this has been the focus of the republicans on the hill, certainly on the house side. they have been very interested in this unmasking and who released and who revealed michael flynn's name. keep in mind, we believe that the investigation may not have needed for his name to be unmasked because the way the u.s. government learned of his name may not have required that. >> again, a closed door hearing in front of the house intelligence committee wit

susan rice is somewhat stranger because usually the national security advisor doesn't get involved athat level. the samantha power, totally unheard of. although she may be consider in some formal sense a part of the intelligence community. >> who knows. i think there is examination. maria: we will examine in the weeks to come. the thursday testimony will be important. michael mukasey, great to see you. thank you for your insights as always. getting back to live, do we know about the attackers. the man who oversaw the response the man who oversaw the response to the boston marathon attack as i love to eat. i love hanging out with my friends. the man who oversaw the response to the boston marathon attack as i have a great fit with my dentures. i love kiwis. i've always had that issue with the seeds getting under my denture. super poligrip free. it creates a seal of the dentures in my mouth. even well fitting dentures let in food particles just a few dabs of super poligrip free is clinically proven to seal out more food particles so you're more comfortable and confident while you eat. su

this is going to kill us with loretta lynch and susan rice and all the rest.ir interests are not aligned on this topic. >> tucker: what do they do at that point? to they go back to finding a new murder trial to cover? what is the next ways for them? >> i think the trouble when you go down this thing -- it's like, we used to have these things long before television. 80 years ago, when there where supposedly be a 5-year-old boy trapped in a well, and the media would camp out around the well to wait for the little boy to be rescued, and that was dramatic in a sob story way. but if there is no little 7-year-old in the well, if there actually is nothing there, then, all you have done in the long run, i think, is destroyed yourself. you go back to that malaysian jet thing, they actually are, in this case, they are -- do you remember on cnn when they thought the malaysian jet might have flown into a black hole? that's what they have done. they have taken a very small story and an expanding end, they are flying their network into a black hole. whether they can emerge

but we have had susan rice all but confirmed that she did, indeed, unmask trump officials and mr. brennan too. so it'll be interesting to see what she has to say because it's very difficult to come up with a good reason for why the former embassador to the united nations would be unmasking officials. paul: all right, what about devin nunes and the democrats are hitting him, you're supposed to be out of the russian probe and why are you issuing subpoenas? >> he has never rescued himself from the question of who is doing leaking and who is doing unmasking in the white house or out of the white house. paul: all right, let's talk, joe, about this attempt in the white house now, we have news that they're hiring some lawyer lawyers, donald trump's long-time lawyer will lead the defense for donald trump and create a unit in the white house much as karl rove advised that would deal with this, isolated, try to quarantine it? >> moving their agenda and managing a scandal, the benefit here is that you've got a lot of policy people that are getting pulled off on the russia news of the day and
