Returns, absolutely. I will release my tax returns against my lawyers wishes. When she releases her 33,000 emails. I will release them when the audit is completed. As soon as that is finished, whenever that may be, and hopefully before the election. Im fine with that. This comes as mulvaney reveals the white house will release a health plan before the 2020 election so republicans request tout an alternative to obamacare. And as democrats want barr to release the Mueller Report, democrats are doubling down calls for the unredacted report now. Lets start first with the fight for the president s tax returns. White house correspondent is joining us now. The president and some of his allies are saying this is a illegitimate political stunt. Democrats trying to open up a new front in their battle against the white house, specifically for transparency on this one. The house ways and Means Committee demanding six years of the president s tax returns and tax returns related to some of his business interest. The white house knew this was coming. Sources indicating they have been preparing for this for some time. They immediately took a defensive posture. The argument from the white house is the American People leektsed President Trump without ever having to see his tax returns, and therefore, they say, democrats are trying to use this as a political weapon against the president that they do not like. We should point out the president has talked several times as you heard about potentially releasing his tax returns once an irs audit is completed. That irs audit has taken up quite some time several years now, and theres no sign its going to be completed any time soon. In fact, its been difficult for reporters to confirm with the are irs that such an audit is taking place. This will likely turn into yet another legal battle for the white house, one that the president is apparently prepared to take all the way to the Supreme Court, fred. Mulvaney also discussed this meeting held at camp david this weekend about health care. What more are we learning about that . The acting chief of staff hosting white house staffers and cabinet members at camp david over the weekend to plot out a path forward for a republican plan to repeal and replace obamacare. This would be the third such atext attempt by the administration to do so. Mulvaney said he would have a plan for congress before the 2020 election. Listen to what he said on one of the sunday morning talk shows. We spent the time this weekend saying what have we done, what can we talk about thats a success and move on Going Forward . We talked about the individual marketplace and protecting medicare and getting drug prices down. I do think you will see a plan shortly. Will you see it before the 2020 elections. We want to run on this. Were a Firm Believer you cant beat something with nothing. Republicans have better ideas than democrats. We should not be afraid to talk about that. You cant beat something with nothing. Mulvaney echoing what we heard from President Trump last week when he publicly told republicans they needed to come up with a plan to combat obamacare. The president telling the world he wants republicans to be the party of health care, fred. Boris sanchez, thank you so much. Now were one day closer to u. S. Attorney general william barr releasing the redacted Mueller Report, which he said he would do, by midapril. But democrats are not willing to wait. They want the unredacted version and they want it as soon as possible. If republicans think thats perfectly fine because it doesnt amount to the crime of conspiracy, then were going to part company, and im not going to stop making the point that we should hold our president , our campaigns, our elected officials to a higher standard than mere criminality. You have no regrets of anything you have said in the last couple of years . I dont regret calling out this president for what i consider deeply unethical and improper conduct, not a bit. You can commit shameful acts, you can commit complete betrayals to the Public Interest without committing impeachable acts. If you did that, the public ought to know that too. The standard here is not an impeachment. The standard is what was the standard is we have to protect the public from president ial misconduct from anybody else and the public has to know about it. And we have to get all of the evidence so we can, subject to protecting certain classified information decision that the Judiciary Committee has always made in the past and cannot make now, the public ought to know all of it. Joining me now democratic congresswoman from texas, Sheila Jackson lee, member of the Judiciary Committee. Good to see you. Thank you, frederica. Members authorized chairman nadler to issue a subpoena for the full report and underlying evidence. But as far as we know, he hasnt actually received, executed that request for the subpoena. So President Trump is already lashing out, he has all weekend about the investigation on twitter. In your view is this kind of an indication the president is particularly nervous about that report as we approach that midapril point, according to barr, he would be releasing at least the redacted version . Frederica, before i start, were here in houston under a tornado watch and heavy thunderstorms. After hurricane harvey, i just want to encourage all of those in the surroundings counties to be careful and safe. There are downed power lines and to Pay Attention to emergency notice thats are going to come through. Thank you for letting me do that. Weve gone through a lot here in houston and surrounding areas. But this is clearly a presentation or an effort by the administration that has gone very wrong and very bad. It started with attorney general barr trying to interpret and distort and direct in another direct the straightforward report submitted by director mueller and summaries. All attorney general barr had to do as the starr report was done, the starr report under an independent counsel sent the report to the congress, a Republican Congress and obviously, i believe, a slanted effort, but to the Republican Congress with a message that said you have in here matters that may have relevance that are classified, sources and methods and also material thats the provision and he said be careful and handle it appropriately. Thats all general barr needed to do. He didnt do that. How is that different from circumstances today in your view . Why is the attorney general interpreting the responsibility and information differently . I think the attorney general and in this instance mr. Starr sent these directly to the Congress Following the law, that a report should be rendered to the congress and to the American People in the Public Interest. Attorney general barr already indicated his bias, he didnt think a president could be indicted in a memo or opinion he wrote several years before he became attorney general, so what he did is intercepted the report and the American People dont want his intercepting and interpretation, and it made it worse because the investigators under director mueller told us the truth. They said tlsh summaries that should have been rentered to you and mr. Barr did not render them to us. Heres where we are. We want them immediately released. Weve given him the time. Hes talking about midapril but were talking redacted. We want the complete unredaktsed copies with the summaries and documentation and we in congress who have the highest secret clearance and Judiciary Committee that is a designated committee to do these investigations under the rule of law will appropriately handle all of this material and present it in the appropriate manner to the American People but it will allow us to go on with our version, particularly about the obstruction of justice, frederica, where the president was not exonerated, which he indicates that he was. And in the meantime this week bash is scheduled to testify before the House Appropriations subcommittee and that would be tuesday on the budget. Is it your expectation that he in some fashion might be asked about the handling of the Mueller Report content of Mueller Report, his summary versus other summaries by the investigative teams . Do you see that, that may happen and if it would be appropriate . I cant project what the appropriators will ask. They have every right to determine how practices are utilized in the department of justice and as relates to their appropriations n doing that, there may be those kinds of questions. As you well know, we intend to call general barr and director mueller and a number of other individuals who we think have handled or are aware of the materials relevant to the Mueller Report. In addition you well know we sent out 81 letters of materials from others whom we believe had some knowledge about the russian interference in the election and as well matters dealing with the obstruction of justice that we believe have not been fully vetted under the Mueller Report or at least it has not been have not been conclusioned on who obstructed or who did not obstruct justice as particularly relates to the president of the United States. We want to, again, follow the rule of law. We want to adhere to our duties as an Oversight Committee dealing with the department of justice. We want to ask the questions about abuse of power, public corruption and obstruction, thats our job. And we want to do it without the attorney general interfering. You know what, i have been home in zplimy district people have to me unsolicited and said i want this report. 56 of republicans want this report. 87 of the American People want this report or at least 56 or around that number of independents want that report, 56 of the American People believe theyre not satisfied by the initial conclusions not because they dont believe director mueller but they want to see it for themselves. Now turning to the fight over the president s tax returns. What is your reaction to the acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney who says democrats will never see those returns . Well, it clearly highlights what democrats have been going through with this administration. Firsts a Minority Party for the last two years of the beginning of his administration, not one single thing was done to hold the adds station accountable. Not one single thing was done by the republican majority. They did spend a great deal of their time on benghazi finding nothing. Theyve spent a great deal of their time trying to dig up again secretary clintons emails which was well vetted and indicated no criminal acts were occurring. So we had no rule of law proceeding under the past two years. Now all of the issues before democrats are simply what the responsibility of congress is. It is not a foot stool for the administration. Its an article one body. We have the responsibility to do our job. This is allowed under 6103 the chairman of the ways and Means Committee has the right to ask for the tax filing of any american and he or she in this instance, chairman neil, would hold it confidentially and he has a right to determine whether or not the irs has been ee fktsivefkt effectively reviewing tax laws. Sorry to interrupt, but do you run the risk of looking overzealous, that youre trying to make up for lost time . Absolutely not. I think thats a very good question. What i was saying is that it will also determine whether the president was under audit. Remember he was saying that through the entire time he was running his campaign. He wasnt under oath but making a statement to the American People. No, i dont think that is the case. I think in the instance of chairman neil and ways and Means Committee, theyve been particularly deliberative in reviewing how the knowledge of his tax filings would help them in making the irs more effective for all of the American People. I think thats important. As relates to the Judiciary Committee, we have been studious in everything that we have begun to do. We have not had hearings that have been directly on the issues that we are concerned about. We are now investigating, studying, reviewing documents. If we were being reckless, we would immediately have hearings with no facts and make accusations against the administration. We have not done that. Our committee under chairman nadler does not intend to do that but we intend to do our job. This Administration Just made so many blatant statements and blatant and taken blatant actions, all of that impacts the good well fair and health of the American People. We think we have the responsibility to let them know whether their government is being run correctly, particularly under the article two executive because they have a lot of power. We will leave it there. Thank you so much u. S. Congresswoman Sheila Jackson lee of texas. Of course, we wish you and your constituents well with this impending storm. Thank you so much. Thank you for having me. Still ahead new breaking details on the american found alive after she was abducted by armed gang overseas. What were learning about the paid ransom next.

Were following breaking news, an american tourist safe following a remarkable rescue overseas. President trump tweeting moment as pleased to report the american tourist and tour guide abducted in uganda that been released. God bless them and their families. Kimberly sue endicott was abducted while on safari but today they were arrested after their touring company paid the ransom. I want to get right to correspondent robin creal in ethiopia. What are you hearing about what happened . What we are hearing is it was more of a handover than rescue. But it was sources setting that in a tweet from ugandan forces. This he have today rescued miss kimberly sue, an american tourest together with her guide, who were kidnapped while on a game drive at Queen Elizabeth national park. They were in good health and in the stands of the joint Security Team g news theyre in good health but a lot of outstanding questions such as who were these kidnappers, were they just an armed group . We understand there are terrorist cells as well so we are hearing to hear who these kidnappers were and how much random was paid, we know 500,000 random was asked. And also was she targeted because she was american . You mentioned four other people were also taken at the same time and later released. Important questions that im sure american diplomats are asking right now. Do we know to what extent if at all the u. S. State departmentp may have assisted in any way . I would imagine the embassy in uganda who have been extremely involved at least in monitoring the situation. They also have most embassies at least in east africa have military presence on the ground at least in an advisory capacity. We know the u. S. Military advises the ugandan military and that fight against al shabab some somalia but were not sure if that had anything to do about it and these are just ugandan public forces doing their Due Diligence in helping facilitate the recovery. The state department putting out a statement just a short while ago, frederica, saying they were aware of her recovery and they didnt use the word rescue and for privacy issues theyre not commenting further at this stage.

After months of preaching for a fight over President Trumps taxes, democrats are making their move. The house ways and Means Committee formally request withed sed trumps documents from the irs. A code from 1994 saying the treasury secretary shall furnish such committee with any return, or return information specified in such a request. Republicans say its an abuse of power. I want to bring in ace historian and white house reporter. Good to see both of you. Hasnt every president in the last 50 years released all of their tax returns . They have and candidates started to do this voluntarily after nixon and the reason was to avoid the conflict of interest issue which emerged and president s have continued to do it. It will be khalchallenged in th courts. Its not kleier hclear how this applies to sating president. And the white house said theyre willing to go all the way to the u. S. Supreme court with this fight. But when the president s pr predecessors as we spelled out have all done so, shown that transparentsy, doesnt it look more and more like the president is hiding something and it could be significant . Well this, has been a delay tactic from the president from the earliest days of this process hes talked about saying that he would release the tax returns but only after the audit is finished. Thats been the line for more than three years at this point and the idea of putting this argument to the courts and letting it kick around until it gets to the Supreme Court is a tactic that could cause things to string out selfmore years and continue the delay process. The law you cited does make it clear congress has authority to get the tax returns of any specific individual person. The president s lawyers are trying to argue now about whether or not the political nature of things should supersede that and whether or not the idea that Opposition Party is trying to get the tax returns for a president from another party should nullify that part of the law and cause a court to weigh in and say congress does not have that authority and that will be very interesting fight to watch play out in the courts. I think the president s lawyer do want to delay this as long as possible and have it go to the Supreme Court, which could be several years down the road. Trumps attorneys are arguing part of their argument will be about the intrusion of the president s personal privacy but were talking about a position of the highest Public Office of the land. And is there any precedent for privacy protecting privacy for the president of the United States as it pertains to this kind of transparency . This has been a central argument for the president on many investigations. This is different than other president s. Were talking about someone who is a significant business figure who has not only a Business Enterprise in effect before coming president but its still going on. His family is still involved. So the argument this is about privacy and privacy matter doesnt really hold water. And obviously, we all remember or many people remember the investigations into president clinton in the 1990s which revolved around his personal sexual relationship. Privacy went out the window then. Right. So lets switch gears now, to the Federal Reserve board, President Trump said hes nominating former president ial candidate and businessman hermen cane herman cain to a spot on the board and also nominating his adviser, and steve an moore. Is the nomination of these two likely potentially to erode the independents if it were to be confirmed . It could not be any more clear the feds do not believe he should be a federal institution subject to his own whims. The president talked about he wants the fed to stop raising rates, to basically construduct itself in a way thats fully aligned with his way of thinking. So thats why he put fro strotw loyalists and made name trying to support how much they agree with the president s ideology and put them on the fed. We have seen the president bashing his own nominated fed chair, Jerome Powell should not continue to raise rates. We did see those rate hikes stop. Now we cant put two and two together and say thats why the fed dialed back on raising rates. But it does for the public make it very questionable as to whether or not the president is interfering with the fed and now that he wants to put these two loyalists on the board, it does raise the question whether whether or not the president believes the fed should be independent and if republicans do confirm these two nominees, that would take things much further in eroding the independence of the fed. Julian, its about the timing too. So many critics were saying is the president trying to make this political or Reelection Campaign issue for him particularly trying to press for lower Interest Rates and stacking the board with those loyalists would allow him to help achieve that . Easy answer, yes. That is when he is doing. Other president s have tried to put pressure on the fed. This is unusual not only are they loyalists but neither is clearly qualified for the position in the minds of many observers. The president wants this economy booming, its his 3we69 argument going into 2020 and he doesnt want anyone or anything to interfere. Thats the strategy here and we will see if its blocked.

Senator sanders is back after raising 18 million, the most of any hopeful democratic nominee. And the topic of his tax returns could come up as he faces more calls to release them. Ryan michaels is there in malcolm, iowa. Ryan, what has been the message of Bernie Sanders . First, fred, we should point out this town hall were in in million come, iowa, boasts the population 3060 people feels like its right out of a frank capra movie. Senator sanders bragged hes the firstever president ial candidate to visit this small town and hes going to take questions from the folks gathered lear today. We wonder if theres a question of whether or not hes going to release his tax returns and when that could come up. We spoke over the past several days in iowa and new york city on friday and many voters, even if theyre strong Bernie Sanders supporters, say they do want to see these tx returns. This is something he promised he would release. He promised when he announced his campaign to wolf blitzer that it would be soon. But its been more than a month and we still dont know when they will come out. The one hint hes giving us is hes waiting to wrap up his 2018 return which involve his 2018 things and were hopefully going to see those tax returns sooner rather than later. And then sanders was in iowa yesterday and went pretty far out on lame on the issue of Voting Rights for convicted felons. What is his stance . This is something hes talked a lo about, fred. The ability for convicted felons to get their Voting Rights back after prison. But it went a little further. Take a listen. I understand the home state of vermont, incarcerated people are allowed to vote. Yes. Would you commit to that on a National Scale . I think that is absolutely the direction to go. As you know in florida they had an important referendum where 65 of the people in florida said that is wrong, people who had felonies should be able to vote. I strongly supported that in my state. What we do is separate. Youre paying a price, you committed a crime, youre in jail. Thats bad. But youre still living in American Society and have a right to vote. I believe in that, yes, i do. Thats an important, distinction, saying the folks still in jail should have a right to vote. Thats not something all Democratic Candidates are talking about and this is one of the biggest distinctions Bernie Sanders is trying to draw. Fred . Thank you very much.

Thats tehrans response to the white houses expected decision to designate irans revolutionary guard as a foreign terrorist organization. Officials say an announcement could come this week. Cnns ryan brown has been following the developments. Ryan, what more do we know about this potential decision . Well, fred, this has been a long, ongoing discussion within the Trump Administration as to whether or not to designate irans revolutionary guard corps as a foreign terrorist organization. There are more than 60 groups around the world at al qaeda, isis, hezbollah that carry that designation. But this would be the First Time Ever for the United States to declare an element of a foreign countrys military as foreign terrorist organization, u. S. Diplomats and military officers have accused irans irgc of being behind a way of destabilizing activity from yemen to syria to iraq. But this decision has been under discussion within the administration for some time. Some of the iran hawks in the administration believed to be secretary of state mike pompeo have been pushing for this. Other officials urged caution. Interesting to see theyre making the decision now, as early as next week were being told. So iranian Lawmakers Said if the u. S. Does do that they will reciprocate and designate the u. S. Military as a terrorist organization. How would that influence or play into the administrations Decision Making . The officials have been telling cnn the u. S. Milt has forces operating in very close proximity to the elements of the irgc, other Iranian Military units in places like iraq and in places like syria. There is a concern, in fact cnn previously reported the director of national intelligence, dan coats, urged caution making this because of fear of preprizal or fear of retaliation with troops in such close proximity to iranian forces, there are concerns iran could use this and retaliate against u. S. Forces in the region. Ryan, thank you very much. Lets talk about all of this with Intelligence Analyst and cnn reporter bob baer. Your reaction now to this the expected decision . This would be a huge step, fred, because the guard corps is effectively the iranian state. It has troops in iraq, syria, lebanon. It has hezbollah under it. If we were to go to war against irgc, we would effectively going to war against iran. This better just be posturing or there would be a general war, that is a certainty. You talk about these places in proximity, iraq, syria, lebanon. So then given that, whats the foe potential risk for u. S. Military forces . Its huge, especially in iraq where you have militias under iranian control. Theyre surrounding u. S. Troops. Theyre facing off with hezbollah and International Guard corps and frankly we dont have enough troops in the middle east to take these guys on. This decision falling under the state departments per view, yet we have not heard from the u. S. State department officially or from the white house, National Security counsel. Does that make a difference if this message were to be conveyed by whom . Well, it is. If its by the military and they start taking steps to enforce it as we do against al qaeda in the islamic state, we are stressing closer to a war with iran. Its unavoidable because the commander of the irgc is probably as powerful as the Supreme Leader in a lot of ways. You cannot isolate the Islamic Revolutionary guard corps and not expect to draw iran in a war. What did this do to become an irritant for iranian law make snerz. They may be posturing too. Right now the iranians are not bothering us. The iranians are not engaged in terrorism like they were in the 80s. So this is fairly quiet. This would be stirring it up. I think this may be right now sort of a support for netanyahu in the elections because israels main amy slt islamic guard corps with the missiles in lebanon. All right, bob baer, thank you so much. Appreciate that. Much more in the news straight ahead after this. Shouldnt mean going back to the doctoro just for a shot. With Neulasta Onpro patients get their day back.
