and your exclusive trip inside trump tower still ahead tonight. xt, a favorite, dan bongino, as we look ahead to possible trial in the senate. >> president trump greeted with chd a crazy week in washington filled with impeachment drama. fox news contributor, author of "champion -- exonerated, dan bongino joins me now. good evening, dan. you know, it's been a crazy week. i don't have to tell you, it was nice seeing the president cheered. but, of course, it's military, army/navy. and he did a rally in hershey, pennsylvania. he's entertaining all the time at the white house. the man is just unbelievable in terms of his energy. i mean, people just can't get over it, including me, and i know him. but let's talk about what he's been through this week. i mean, you've got judiciary voted on party lines to impeach him. it's going to the full house next week. he's going to be impeached with these two ridiculous articles, and yet he continues to fight for us and continues to work for, you know, toward re-election. with more enthusiasm than i've ever seen. >>

and later, i take you inside the new york white house, aka, trump tower, for an exclusive sit-down withrik and lara trump and a first-ever exclusive look on television at newborn daughter carolina trump. but first, my open. ♪ ♪ >> it was everything we said it was and everything they said it was not. we now have confirmation, corroboration that the deep state exists, that it worked to spy on and frame a presidential candidate and plant the seed for his overthrow in the ugliest, most corrupt attempted political coup in u.s. history. that it occurred at all, is stunning. but that it was manipulated to take down a president and remove him from office almost as soon as we put him there, essentially overthrowing a government, is an outrage that demands the most severe consequence our criminal justice system has to offer. now, you put this together with the russia collusion, and nancy this week saying -- >> off for 22 months, ago? but it's been four and a half years. >> that's right, nancy, and you still haven't come up with a reason to impeach him. but you radicals are all in on getting rid o

but he basically said i just found out they have been wiretapping trump tower.schiff asked comey about it, and comey sat there with a straight face and said we looked into it than is nothing that supports the president's accusations. i realize if you want to get legal and split hairs, it wasn't trump tower that was being wiretapped, but for goodness sake there was a fisa warrant out on carter page. even after the president was elected. then this information he gave us, saying hold on to other stuff that went into that fisa application warrant. >> spying is spying whether it's illegal surveillance or surveillance. without this christopher steele dirty dossier there would have been no fisa warrant issues to spy on carter page. now there is talk of whether he should sue the fbi and the government. it really scares you to think that the government could go after you in this sense. trish: they wanted to go after four people. they just weren't able to get enough warrants. they needed some more pretend facts to drum up. stephanie, i think it's alarming. it's a huge wak

all right. >>> go to trump tower in midtown manhattan. gold, but also christmas decorations all over the place. eric trump gave me a personal tour of the building. we even spoke to santa. watch this. >> this is a successful business operation. are you ever criticized for making money off the presidency? >> trump tower has been here since 1984. we have had this building for a long long time. it's always been incredibly successful. by the way, you want to talk about a successful thing. this was the escalator that started it all for my father. stuart: you were on the air on this. >> we were. we were. ♪ stuart: this is a trump store in trump tower. i have not seen this before. >> people from all over the world, they love my father, they come in here, they love the family, they love the hotels, they love everything -- stuart: you've got all kinds of clothing, you've got -- >> we do. we have hats, polos from the golf courses, a little bit of everything. stuart: how is business? >> incredible. it's been incredible. you see the spirit toward the c

he was preparing his congressional testimony about the russia investigation and specifically the trump tower moscow building project, michael cohen appears to have told the fbi that sekulow told cohen to leave out of his congressional testimony information about trump tower moscow including their direct contacts with the kremlin about that real estate deal. sekulow telling michael cohen that he should not bring that up when he was discussing this matter to congress. hmm. in court today in the southern district of new york, prosecutors told the judge in the lev parnas and igor fruman case that a quote superseding indictment is likely in that case. fruman and parnas are associated of the president's current personal lawyer, rudy giuliani, who have been charged with multiple felonies including campaign finance violations for illegally funneling foreign donations into the main pro trump super pac. when they were before a federal judge today in the southern district of new york prosecutors said that a superceding indictment is likely. that might mean additional charges for lev parnas and igor fru

charged a march of 2017, 2 months after he took office that barack obama had my wires tapped at trump towers was mccarthyism, is it the responsibility of the media to say, well, really bad stuff by the fbi, wasn't ordered by obama to trump tower and so on? >> these are two situations where there are very serious questions that we really need to look at and there are questions about power and use of power by the people who run our country and who can change our lives, we need to look at those questions but in those cases the dots aren't connected, there are questions unanswered. , you have to present the facts so viewers can take that in. howie: very aggressive interview, i was wrong on a couple of points, overconfident and sorry at one point and he said carter page was treated unfairly but he also said this. >> the fbi is an honest apolitical organization, remember the treason, remember the spying, remember all of us going to jail, that was false information that your viewers and millions of others were given. comey is basically making the case i was falsie accused. >> the way he acted in t

to interview eric and laura and got the tour of trump tower and talk on the phone with theas family multiple times in the only interview with tiffany since her father was elected president. >> who defied your expectations quick. >> i was surprised by a lot of things about all of them. one of the things that surprised me the most families there is a smart ended dumb and are rich and the poor and the lazy all these different characters that emerge that everyone is dynamic and they all have a positive streak when i quizzed if got she says i refuse to be bitter i will not be bitter i choose to be happy. and with that russian collusion they would bring up a silver lighting including thee presiden president. >> inside trumps whitee house in your book that's the topic of our discussion on "washington journal". you already brought up jared kushner he comes a very early you in the book with him there's a lot of references to him it seems like he particularly interested you. >> yes because nobody gets to interview him so i want to know everything what you watch on netflix and how you sleep on

in moscow and he also recalled additional conversations with russians about the trump tower in moscow and not in the testimony. jay said it did not matter and he should not contradict trump and time to move on. those statements were not included in cohen's congressional testimony. he then later plead guilty for lying to congress by not including statements he had a conversation with putin's press secretary's assistant and conversations with the president during this process of the campaign, when the president was publicly saying they had no business deals with russia and no contact with the russians. wolf. >> what are you learning about his asking for a pardon? >> we also learned from the documents and interview notes cohen gave when he was interviewed by the fbi he said it was not long after his apartment hotel room was raided in april of 2018 that there were reports in the air about possible pardons. cohen had said, according to this fbi interview he had contacted jay sekulow noting he had been loyal and asking what was in it for him. that's all the interview there says and w

the president was wrong, his claims that obama had wired trump tower and was not out to get him like and portrayed over several years. also there were serious mistakes that the american people should know more about, and we got this look and it was not a flattering look in any sense of the word. i think comey could have been more critical of that and more forthcoming which the fbi director now, christopher wray, very much was in his interview after the inspector general's report came out, and i think that is the problem here. you can say that mistakes were made and you don't have to agree with the president that obama wiretapped trump tower. i think both things can be true at once. >> both things will be true and it will be interesting, a, chris wray and can he shore up the process. do we really think the president would skip debates next november, as he's threatening or suggesting, or do we just thichthichnk, a, he likes to vent because he doesn't like any establishment, and b, maybe he's not going to do three, but he'll do one or whatever. >> he likes to say he doesn't need them an

spent a couple of days there, and she tells a story about how when the whole issue surrounding the trump towerting and how they're going to have to make it public to investigators, congressional investigators, jared kushner discovers that there was this meeting inside trump tower. and what they do is they go to meet with the president about it. they have a meeting at the white house. kushner, ivanka, and hope hicks, and they have this meeting, and she describes how kushner had a manila folder with him. he opens this folder, and he wants to tell the president about it, and the president says, i don't want to know anything about it. then kushner says it's not really a big deal. well, it turned out to be one of the biggest deals in this entire russia investigation. but what's so interesting there is she gives us this behind the scenes look about the president, every time they would go to him and say, hey, we may have potentially a problem here, he would say, i don't want to know about it. i don't want to hear about it. so they never told him, and it turned out to be a very big deal despite what k

to interview eric and laura i got the tour of trump tower talked on the phone with the family multiple times and got the onlyes interview with the tiffany dilley one she has given since her father was elected. >> i was surprised with all of them one of the things that surprised me in most families normally there is the smart and the dumb and the rich and the lazy and the smart one there are different characters that emerge but every one is dynamic and they all have a positive streak in them when i would quiz ivanka she said i would refuse to be better i choose to be happy she said in fact i cannot function if i'm not happy so i choose to be happy. leach were like that to bring out the silver lining including the president. >> inside the trump white house the real story is the topic of ourc discussion on washington journal. you brought up jared kushner already he comes up very early in the book you and the book with jared kushner there's a lot of references to him it seems like he particularly interested you. >> yes because nobody could interview him and nobody would get to so i thought

it's disappointing because this is someone who took two solid months to come to trump tower to meet theesident in the middle of the ten year term of the fbi director and you have kanye west, steve harvey, all these people came to trump tower, you saw them every day and jim comey it took them two months to get there as fbi director and then on january 6 he is pretending that he breathed under brief the president and he pretended he briefed him way that he did president obama. and he had not. he tried to say that on different stations and that will always be true and now we know he lied about that and worse. i think the report is exposed for another reason, it makes clear that the steel dossier was essential to the fisa application and we know that's been discredited and we know they legitimize it and verified all through 2016 and cannot do that. so we'll see what durham does -- >> is a reminder of what abuse of power looks like, it's ironic that the two very thin and weak articles of impeachment include abuse of power, that happened under jim comey, you want to know what it looks like ri

. >> sean: congressman ratcliffe, what is interesting, jim comey goes in january 2017 to trump tower. he tells then president-elect dossier is out there salacious and unverified. yet in october, the pfizer word but correct me if i'm wrong john ratcliffe, does it not say the word verified on it and do we not know that it is unverifiable? did he lie to the president-elect trump or did he live both before and after the trump tower meeting and certify it was verified? he lied once, somewhere in the there. >> it does say verified at the top, sean. and almost exactly a year ago today that mark meadows and jim jordan, trey gowdy and myself deposed jim comey. december 2018, after that deposition, he came out in front of a spray of reporters and asked a bunch of questions about fisa. fisa abuse is a bunch of nonsense. well, if you read the inspector general's report very clearly at the attorney general just laid out, it wasn't just fisa abuse. it was systemic, repeated abuse, gross abuse, misrepresentations, false statements, refusing to provide exculpatory evidence to the fisa court. that was

guest: lying about barack obama committing a felony by wiretapping the trump tower during the election is one? i don't get it. i am baffled. you can explain away everything. if you want to defend trump and say these weren't really lies, fine. but to say these lies are insignificant, that hillary clinton rigged the election, tried to rig it with 3 million to 5 million votes, barack obama committed a felony by wiretapping his phones at trump tower, or lying about criminal violations of the campaign finance laws, lying about so many other things that violations of the campaign absolutely have to do with running of the country and affairs of state. host: 15 minutes left with professor allan lichtman. icy on twitter asking if you can come back in six months and see what has changed. guest: i would be happy to. host: we will book it. jacob in kansas, a democrat. good morning. caller: good morning. i wanted to touch on all the talk we have been doing about lies and stuff. i think sometimes it is interesting to see how things that are fact are presented as rhetoric, or how people on the other

did he lie to the president-elect trump or did he lie both before and after the trump tower meeting and certify it was verified? he lied once, somewhere in there. >> it does say "verified" at the top, sean. and it was almost exactly a year ago today that mark meadows and jim jordan, trey gowdy and myself deposed jim comey. it was december 2018, and after that deposition, he came out in front of a spray of reporters and asked a bunch of questions about fisa. fisa abuse is a bunch of nonsense. well, if you read the inspector general's report very clearly, as the attorney general just laid out, it wasn't just fisa abuse. it was systemic, repeated abuse, gross abuse, misrepresentations, false statements, refusing to provide exculpatory evidence to the fisa court. and that was under jim comey's watch. and he knew very clearly. >> sean: congressman, he signed it three times. he certified it was verified. if i, sean hannity -- what would happen to sean hannity? i think if i lied before fisa court, premeditated lies with unverifiable document, i don't know, maybe, i think,d probably likely, i w

in the summer of 2015, donald trump descended on an escalator in trump tower and grabbed the world's attention when he announced that he was running to be the next president of the united states. then in the fall of 2016, donald trump shocked the world when he was elected the 45th president of the united states. i wouldn't have done without all a few folks in michigan fighting to get him elected. and especially in the column county. [cheering] you were instrumental in president trump's success in 2016, and we need all of you working hard for the next 11 months or so to make sure that we deliver across michigan to president trump in 2020. [cheering] you know somebody else that was instrumental in the president's success in 2020? how about president trump's daughter-in-law and senior adviser to his campaign, tonight's guest, lara trump? [cheering] we are so blessed to have a president in the white house that is surrounded by such a strong, steady and supportive family. lara trump is one of the leading voices in today's conservative movement. she is someone who's been a champion of the a

his impulse that weekend was to go downstairs at trump tower and burrow himself into a rally of supporters standing on fifth avenue. this is basically a version of that. this is what he does in humiliation. he describes it as we, not i'm impeached. we're getting impeached. can you believe that? and you're going to see that going forward. you're going to see an angrier version, and you are going to see, i think, his voters feel as if they are being attacked personally. what that means over ten months, we don't know. he's heading into a re-election. it is still going to be an up or down referendum on him. there will be a choice argument that they are making with the democratic nominee, but this is still ultimately about him and how he defines this when he has a stain that we know bothers him on his record, how he manages to focus on the economy, on legislative accomplishments that he is actually proud of instead of talking about this all the time remains to be seen. >> nancy pelosi said it is a good day for the constitution. it is a sad day for america. michael, i asked you how can those two

blow apart donald trump suggesting that barack obama was crawling around in his office space at trump tower and tapping phones. ig's going to blow apart so many theories. we can talk about that. we can talk about the fact that north korea now is openly insulting donald trump as a dumb old man or whatever words they use. we can talk about -- there's so much. but i think donald trump this weekend spoke for us all. >> yeah. >> i really do. and i have no problem admitting this. i think he spoke for us all when he talked about the single issue that is most pressing to our great republic at this time. take a look. >> we have a situation where we're looking very strongly at sinks and showers and other elements of bathrooms where you turn the faucet on in areas where there's tremendous amounts of water, where the water rushes out to sea because you could never handle it, and you don't get any water. you turn on the faucet and you don't get any water. they take a shower and water comes dripping out. it's dripping out. very quietly dripping out. people are flushing toilets ten times, 15 times as oppo
