Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Fox News Night With Shannon Bream 20180615

Republicans are putting this together after much debate. This debate especially over the separation of children from their parents. A small group of reporters is touring a converted walmart area where the children are being he is. Steve scalise is back in the game. We were there on the field. Thats your feelgood story for tonight. Well have that for you. Hello and welcome to fox news night. Im Shannon Bream in washington. Within the 568 pages is a thorough examination of political bias and missteps by top fbi agents and officials at the doj Inspector General concludes there is no evidence s tainted their investigation. The language is very important here. Tonight we are examining the claims conference of coverage of the wideranging ig report on the kind of email investigation release lead today. We begin with chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge. Shes been pouring over this. All right, so were hearing that there is no evidence of a political bias but what does that really mean . So i think the language really matters in this Inspector General report. If you look at the specific section in the executive summary, it says we did not find documentary or testimonial evidence, so we didnt find paper or witness testimony that there were any improper considerations including political bias. So if you read in between the lines here, shannon, and i know you are doing that with your legal mind, what you see is they never found paper or witnesses that spoke to it to make that connection but its not to say it didnt happen. Shannon okay, there was also a new text revealed from fbi agent peter strzok about stopping trump, stopping him from becoming president. My understanding that was previously redacted when house lawmakers were given some of this material. What we learned today is that they have been pouring through a friends review with the strzok and page cell phones and its been an ongoing process. Every time they did another cycle, new Text Messages would come to light. This particular text message which comes from august of 2016 only came to light last month. Thats how annuities. The Inspector General, based on what we learned today, makes kind of a pivot in his conclusions, saying we felt that before january of 2016 and the comey Public Statement about the clinton emails, we couldnt find evidence of political bias. But after that and based on this text, we think that in the later stages, there may been political bias. And that agent strzok was prioritizing the Russian Investigation and not prioritizing the clinton email investigation. Shannon seems like there is an openended question that the ig said much of these texts were about the russia investigation. Almost leading you to think theres going to be more of that conversation. Im glad you picked up. Net. I think he was communicating is that im not making judgments per se about all these investigations, just the clinton case. Wait for chapter two, whether there was political bias at play. Laura it may be a whole nother layer. Also the question about whether any kind of foreign entity was able to hack into Hillary Clintons emails. We did a lot of reporting here at fox news about the likelihood that there was some kind of compromise of the clinton email server or her classifying emails. Thats important because that would be a strong indicator that there shouldve been a criminal prosecution. In the ig report for the first time, we see documentary evidence that the fbi knew that some of Hillary Clintons emails were compromised either by foreign nations or foreign Intelligence Services. And this is a very important quote in the comes from 2017. When an fbi inspecting team did a review of how the clinton email case was handled. It states classified information was improperly stored and transmitted on clintons email server and classified information was compromised by unauthorized individuals to include foreign governments or Intelligence Services via cyber intrusion or other means. That is really in black and white now. We know that there was a breach or a compromise of the clinton emails, at least one, the secret level, high level of classification. What it doesnt say is that the server itself was compromised but in terms of criminal prosecution of that really doesnt matter. What matters is the classified information fell into the hands of a hostile adversary. Shannon Something Else we saw today, the draft that the comey exoneration lender went through and that one point there was a mentor that president obama was one of the people she had communicated with in an area that they thought may have been potentially compromised in a hostile area and talking about somebody with the foreign influence probing in. But they took president obamas name out of the record and said a senior or highlevel official. His name was scrubbed from the draft. I guess one of the lessons here is that its kind of a do is i say but not as i do. What we learned is that everyone at senior levels of the u. S. Government is counseled against using personal email especially for government business because of classification issues. But what you saw throughout the report is that even director comey was using a Gmail Account for his work at the fbi. Hillary clinton used it as secretary of state and president obama all used it does well with his highly secured blackberry. I think what matters for folks at home is that you have in some cases the crown jewels of the u. S. Intelligence community that are very vulnerable or exposed and in this case we now have evidence that some of them fell into the wrong hands. Shannon you have been a trooper not just a day for months and years on this case. Our ongoing reporting were shown to be accurate and backed up by the Inspector Generals report because we took a lot of pushback on some of this reporting and im glad to see a lot of it was indicated. Shannon catherine, great job. Thank you very much. Inspector general concluded text between fbi agents implied one of them might be willing to take official action against then candidate donald trump yet key players are not over whether that means there bias impacted their investigation. This report did not find any evidence of political bias or improper considerations actually impacting the investigation under review. Chris wray, im sorry, youre wrong. There are consequences. This is a bitterly disappointing report. Shannon lets turn to brandnew Fox News Contributor andrew mccarthy. Hes been tracking this a long time with all the mueller stuff. Great to have you with us. Great to be here. Thank you. Shannon lets talk a little bit more about what weve learned today. I want to start with this comment from congressman trey gowdy earlier tonight on special report. Peter strzok, the fbi agent who was on Hillary Clintons investigation arguably the lead russia investigator, not only wanted to stop his campaign but once he won, got on the Mueller Probe because he wanted to impeach him. Thats a level of animus and bias that everyone should reject. Shannon and d, the overall conclusion of the Inspector General is that if there was political bias, they didnt see evidence it that factored into any decisions made on the investigation. Does that settle it for you . No, it really doesnt. Think about how carefully their wording this. I really dont like it when they say theres no evidence because that means there is no suggestion in the record that bias could have been a factor. While they are saying here and its very carefully done is that while the ig was evaluating was a series of judgment calls and they were not going to secondguess peoples discretionary judgment because their metric was, was the decision made a rational, not whether they agreed with federal whether it was the only decision that couldve been made under the circumstances. If thats where youre coming from and youre also saying at the same time there is pervasive evidence that they had bias, they cant rule out the fact that bias may have played in and may have been decisive. What they are actually saying is we dont have evidence here from which we can conclude for certainty that bias was what the driving factor was here. But they cant discount it. For them to continue to say there is no evidence that bias played a role here is just preposterous. Thats not what the report says. Shannon well, it feels a little bit like the david james comey, then fbi director, came out and outlined this entire case what happened with Hillary Clinton and then at the end said but theres nothing prosecutable here. Were going to decline to move forward with any recommendation along that line. Something i learned for the first time today here is that there were five different fbi employees they found text and messages that they were concerned about. Weve heard about peter strzok and lisa page but there were other people we dont have a name yet four. Do you think we will get those . I think eventually will get a lot more information than we have not, particularly in the congressional hearings. And i think where we will end up getting a lot of information, shannon, is when we get the other half of the story. I mean, if you think about what happened here. The fbi and this is evident from the Text Messages of strzok and page, they considered the clinton email investigation and the trump russia investigation as a single continuum to the point that when crews dropped out of the race and it was clear trump was going to be the nominee, the first thing these to say is, and reacting to trump being the nominee, man, weve got to get this Hillary Clinton email investigation done. Ratchets up the pressure to and made your exam, which is what they called it. And the minds of the agents, this was one series of investigations together that impacted the election. And the reason this is important is you can look at all the different decisions that got waited by Inspector General horowitz and look at them in the isolation of the clinton email case and say yeah, you know, that looks reasonable. Maybe thats reasonable. Might not have done what i wouldve done but okay. But what you dont get is comparing how they handled the email investigation to how they handled the trumprussia investigation. So if you look for example at a decision that they make to give a guy immunity even though they had ironclad evidence that he had lied to the fbi and was involved in the destruction of evidence, they make a case for why it was reasonable to give the guy immunity. If you looked at that in the abstract, you, you would say okay, well, maybe not what i wouldve done but reasonable. You dont get to compare that to the five guys that mueller has investigated where the lies that were told were not near the core of what he was investigating, and yet having them over the barrel, he prosecuted every single one of them for false statements and got them to cooperate in that fashion. Shannon a lot of people putting these sidebyside have those same questions. Andy, thank you for your excellent analysis always. Thanks, shannon. Shannon newly revealed Text Messages looming large tonight in which fbi agent peter strzok tells fbi attorney lisa page we will stop it, talking about trump becoming president. Evidence of an antitrump deep state . Republican congressman from utah sits on the house intelligence committee. Great to have you with us. One of your counterparts across the aisle, adam schiff says no deep state, no secret society, no antitrump cabal at the fbi. No indication that comeys errors of judgment did anything but help the trump campaign. No vindication for the present. All, my gosh. Has he been living on mars . Nothings going on here. I think mr. Mccarthy earlier said it well. You cant have these examples of the animosity towards this president and the visceral hatred toward this president demonstrated with some of these fbi, senior fbi officials and then just presume that none of that was manifested in their work are in the way that they viewed their Different Cases especially when some of these individuals are working on Hillary Clintons email thing at the same time they are working on the Donald Trump Russia investigation. Its a stretch to imagine those personal feelings wouldnt influence their work at some point. Shannon all right. Peter strzoks attorney, he figures prominently in this report, he said the ig conclude there is no evidence that the political views of special agents strzok and others impacted the handling of the clinton email investigation. That is repeated there with general size throughout the 568 pages here but you are saying common sense tells you otherwise . I dont know how he could possibly know that lessie can crawl inside your mind and actually examine their mental process. I want to complement the Inspector General for what i think is generally a very thorough work. Its something weve been looking forward to. Hes brought forth information that those of us on the Intel Committee have been beating our heads against the wall trying to get from the fbi. We are glad hes done it. Some of this is very important. Im just going to agree to disagree on this. He can presume whether it impacted the outcome of their work when it seems extraordinary unlikely. This is from someone who defended director comey for many, many years. It shows the obvious lack of leadership. How is it that the very senior people around the fbi, and we now know they are essentially political hacks. Liberal political hacks. It isnt just a coincidence. The Inspector General calling his insubordination and pointing out the fact that he was investigating Hillary Clinton, doing the same thing. The number of leaks in the Media Contacts that senior fbi officials had no business talking to the media. Accepting gifts from the media representatives. The culture in the fa under that leadership absolutely had to change. Shannon director wray says it has in it well and he will push forward. Quickly, the one question you want answer because the Inspector General view before the senate and house next week. I dont know if i can say one boat quickly, it would be, did you report change question what did you feel pressure to change a report . I dont know if we have evidence of that but i think its a fair question. I would love for him to continue this work. He cant but i would love for him to continue his work. Shannon hes a busy man and he has other investigation. Thank you for coming in. Great to have you. Stay with us. More on the fallout on the ig report including the political outcome of a report that has both sides claiming vindication. Chris stirewalt is here to sorted out. This was an investigation into the investigation. Of the clinton email probe. First of all, this report shows that there was special treatment given to Hillary Clinton in the investigation. Shannon longtime clinton watcher, journalist and consultant Peter Schweizer joined us next with what the report dug up on the clinton connection. From capital one. With it, i earn unlimited 2 cash back on everything i buy. Everything. And that 2 cash back adds up to thousands of dollars each year. So i can keep growing my business in big leaps whats in your wallet . Ito take care of anyct messy situations. And put irritation in its place. And if i can get comfortable keeping this tookus safe and protected. You can get comfortable doing the same with yours. Preparation h. Get comfortable with it. Shannon fbi agents arent the only ones feeling the heat from the watchdog report. The Inspector General, former official for sharing information about the clinton email probe with her Campaign Chairman john podesta. The ig says former assistant attorney general peter keswick demonstrated poor judgment in failing to recognize the appearance of a conflict of interest. Keswick tried to get his son a job with daily content campaign, emailing a clinton staffer let me know if you or someone else needs a great assistant. By 25yearold son is ready for Hillary Rodham clinton. Lets bring in Peter Schweizer, welcome. Lets start with peter kadlec. He clearly had some connection, personal relationships with the clinton campaign. What you make of that initial assessment by the ig that there was some kind of connection but it wasnt enough to taint this. I think it raises the question of why was he interacting the way he was and why was he sharing information with john podesta . The ig report points out that he actually tipped off john podesta who was Hillary Clintons Campaign Chairman about the release schedule of the Hillary Clinton emails in 2016. At the same time that is your point of outcome he is trying to get a job for his 25yearold son. It just looks bad. This is the kind of small fish behavior people dont like. You say didnt really break any laws. Thats not the point. This is the department of justice. We expect impartiality and we dont expect them to be sharing information they shouldnt be sharing while the same time getting favors for family members and thats clearly what hes trying to do. Shannon someone else mentioned quite a few times in this report that a lot of folks may not have expected to figure so prominently is former Virginia Governor terry mcauliffe. Obviously very, very close to the clintons, key political player with them. And the party more broadly. There is talk and hear of his connection, his tax connection intonations to Andrew Mccabes wife. Weve been over the territory before. But theres quite a lot of admonishment here that there were sizable donations that the recusal to happen but maybe it wasnt fully respected by mccabe once this was in full play. Thats exactly right. Enter mccabe was told to recuse himself and not be involved in the Clinton Foundation investigation, and he was anyway. Look, this is the way the clintons of operated for more than 40 years in politics. And that is that they have a network of relationships and friends. It makes it very difficult as far as a Legal Standard is concerned of proving a quid pror some kind of collusion because oftentimes its a third party involved in the transaction. In this particular case, Hillary Clinton is under investigation by the fbi. Hillary clinton has no connection with andrew mckay but one of Hillary Clintons close political allies, the governor of virginia, is sendins of dollars to the campaign of anger mccabes wife. Its tangled, indirect, hard to prove but it still leaves the same kind of stench and thats really the problem. People will say, shannon, why is there this obsession with Hillary Clinton and bill clinton on all the stuff . Shes not in office anymore. The bottom line is this is not about the clintons. Its about the rule of law. Its about impartial justice. And i think as this ig report shows, that is certainly not what we gotten these clinton investigations. Shannon a lot of folks, conservatives looking at the reports and Hillary Clinton got all kinds of passes that she shouldnt have. Excluded there were findings that the fbi agents were supportive of Hillary Clinton and antidonald trump, then a candidate. Here is what the senates top Democrat Chuck schumer had to say today. Director comeys mishandling of the publicity around the clinton email campaign will prove to the benefit of then candidate trump coming not the other way around. It was trump who benefited from all these mistakes. So it hardly reflects deep state or bias against. Shannon that sort of sums up all the press releases i got from every democrat on the hill today. It didnt help hillary. It hurt her. And help donald trump. There was no bias. The g. O. P. Is trying to link this to somehow discredit the meal investigation. Theres no proof of the deep state. And that james comey went public with a Hillary Clinton email investigation but stayed silent on the russia investigation. On and on and on. They say that it actually was very bad for Hillary Clinton in the end. Dont think thats the case, particularly when you look at the investigation and every single turn whether it was the interview with her, the interview with her colleagues, and the special concessions they were granted. The fact that they didnt subpoena the devices. They simply asked for them. I could go on and on and on. Each one of those cases the benefit was to Hillary Clinton. In one case in which they argue that it hurt Hillary Clinton, it was the comey announcements of leader that they were reopening the investigation. He had to do that because he had told a Congressional Committee earlier that they there were no emails out there and there was no longer the case. He was forced to do that not out of political calculation but because he faced the very real possibility of being accused of lying to congress. So its laughable to me that they take one incident in a long chain of events and say this one incident proves that there was no bias. You simply cant look at this in any systematic way and come to any other conclusion that Hillary Clinton got favorable treatment, extensive favorable treatment in this investigation. Shannon all right, Peter Schweizer, thank you for joining us tonight. Great to have you. What is the political take away from the bombshell report . Fox News Politics editor chris stirewalt. Good evening. Shannon bream. Shannon both sides claiming victory. Iowas right, i am vindicated. The democrats say theres no deep state. Its hurtful to hillary. Conservatives saying look at all the bias and the people were making decisions that benefited her. Where do we go from here . There some threads in the report that lead into the russia stuff. This is why when partisans are talking you can have a soundtrack, whatever music you like, turn the background music up little bit while partisans are talking. Obviously democrats are going to say that this is proof that hillary was ruined by the terrible fbi and of course republicans were trying to help the president are going to say its proof that the fbi so corrupt that they cant even investigate the president now. Push their rationale aside to a certain degree. I find it interesting that Robert Mueller to a certain degree and you read this and you read about the spirit of the comey fbi. Its in mccabe, its in strzok and his texting partner. Its definitely an comey himself. Which is that they know better than everybody else, they come to things with a strong sense put it this way. Comeys assumptions were all based on the fact that Hillary Clinton was going to win the president ial election. Shannon thats clear in the report that they all agree thats what they thought. Thats what was going to happen. They didnt act like Law Enforcement people. They acted like people who are caught in this political swirl and as we see playing games and sending emails. The first and most important thing i take away from this is james comey is ruined. This is the full ruination of james comey. We see now why he wanted to get his book out. Reason why he did the aggressor publicity tour. This is horrible for him. And heres Robert Mueller, not a spring chicken, who basically in a sense had to come out of retirement to save this i dont want to make it sound too strong. But to undo a lot of the damage that his successor did. Shannon okay, i want to play a little bit of trey gowdy on special report, earlier today. He has been a longterm defender of the fbi. He is a law and order guy. Former federal prosecutor. Hes ready set on special report. Most of my fellow citizens would say yeah, i want to know what russia was doing to us in 2016 but i want the person finding out, thats investigating it, to be free of bias and tainted. Shannon his worry come as many people about the fbi he said 99 of people im not worried about these are great hardworking patriotic sacrificing their lives kind of people but hes worried now though the agency has got a taint on it. I think its pretty clear that the comey regime an mccabe is part of an and strzok as part of, these folks are, its a kablooey. The fbi trying to reclaim its reputation from the harm that comey did. No question. Gowdy said now is the time, they have a new director, now theyve got to prove it. When mueller comes out with his report, its going to be the test. The doj acquitted itself well and doing such a thorough repor report, pretty unflinching when you get down to it, but the failings inside the agency. Shannon theres been preys on both sides of the aisle for the Inspector General. Even james comey praised him. On that note, one we return, the Trump Foundation in the spotlight. New York Attorney general goes after the charity. The president fighting back. Our panel will weigh in. Current acting uric ag stated that battling the white house is the most important job shes ever done. That sounds outrageously biased and certainly problematic.

Shannon new yorks attorney generals has money from the Trump Foundation that was supposed to go to charity benefited mr. Trumps businesses in political campaigns. Saying that the Trump Foundation is a little more than an empty shallot functions with no oversight. Mr. Trump gray on the foundation according to wim rather than law. Alleged financial abuse. President trump pointed these comments Barbara Underwood made when she interviewed for the attorney general job. We have resisted many efforts by the current federal administration that we believe violate the law and will harm new york residents and new york institutions. In many ways, i feel this work is the most important work ive ever done. Shannon tonights panels talk about it. Josh hersh wherein and charlie clerk. Welcome. This drops on the day of aig inspectors report and it also comes on the president s birthday. A little bit more but with the new York Attorney Generals Office is saying. This pattern of illegal conduct by the foundation and its Board Members includes improper and intensive political activity, repeated and willful selfdealing transactions and failure to follow basic fiduciary obligations are to implement even elementary corporate formalities required by law. Charlie, the president says this is nothing but sleazy, corrupt new york democrats coming after him. Hes exactly right. This is nothing more than a Political Tool with a highly politicized attorney general which admits that their goal is to try to resist this white house. Think about this, you have a state based Attorney Generals Office its being used as a political operation against a sitting incumbent president. If you want to get into this whole foundation discussion, i think there was another foundation thats based in new york called the Clinton Foundation actually merits true investigation from the new York Attorney Generals Office. 100 , thats right a hundred percent of the expenditures from the donald j. Trump Foundation Went to actual, 0 too expensive. Clinton foundation, 93 went to expenses, travel, overhead salaries and the only 6 went to the actual charitable programmatic spending of the charity. This is not a discussion is good and very well for the Attorney Generals Office. Highly politicized. Shannon thats a different picture than what shes painting because she is named that there were expenditures on political things, paying off creditors and debts and all kinds of other things. Those are allegations. Now this is what the Trump Foundation missing. The foundation currently has 1. 7 million remaining in which the new York Attorney general has been holding hostage for political gain. Its unconscionable, particularly because the foundation previously announced its intention to dissolve more than a year and half ago. The prior new York Attorney general who was forced to resign from office in disgrace needed his stated mission to use this matter to not only advances on Political Goals but also for his own political fundraising. They say they wanted this man of that and they havent been able to. I want to first go back and correct a few things charlie said they were plainly false. The Clinton Foundation come as Kellyanne Conway said, does very good work and actually spent about 80 to 90 of their money on charitable work. They are more like the red cross that spends directly on putting people in the ground, less like the Gates Foundation to give donations. So thats a talking boy thats freak only been used and widely debunked. But going back to the Trump Foundation, they dont just spend money on charitable giving. Pat bonnies campaign, not a charity. Donald trump and this came out today in a lawsuit, donald trump is a handwritten note directing that 100,000 from the foundation go to fix a problem for maralago. Shannon i have to say i saw that and i have some questions about that because the document that i saw, he said 100,000 to fisher house. Which people know is a military related charity. So the fact that its being characterized as something that had to do with quitting up a mess involving maralago is confusing at best. Based on that handwritten document. Sure, and this was one that was reported back during the campaign. This was a settlement they worked out where maralago had an issue with a flag and what they agreed on was were going to give some money to charity. If trump had done that with his own money or with corporate money, totally fine. You might be a good charity. Thats not the issue. The issue is using the Trump Foundation to pay off corporate or personal debts. Shannon let me bring charlie back in. The trump folks are saying this was his money, most of it that funneled through. The president is also claiming they paid out more than they actually have on hand. So, you know, i guess well have to wait and see with the loss of go straight he put his own personal money in and paid more than that lets talk more broadly here. Whats the actual agenda of the new York Attorney Generals Office. They want to destroy this president come highly politicized. Schneiderman didnt even want to do this. Schneiderman want to do everything he possibly could against this president. He even refused, saying there wasnt enough evidence. This Russian Investigation is imploding. Where the top professionals looking into this alleged brush occlusion the last 18 months and only thing they found his weight, know weve been there once colluding. They need to find everything they possibly can to create distractions integrate these proxies against the president and they would love nothing more than to try to have power of discovery against on jr. , eric, and ivanka. Its unbelievably politicized. I get to hear one person by Donald Trumps Campaign Manager is directing funds to be spent from the Trump Foundation in iowa while while hes campaigning there before the caucus. It is blatant politicization. Its illegal. Thats the problem. Shannon those are the allegations. And i will wait to see because we all agree innocent until Proven Guilty in this countrys oil watch this lawsuit with great attention. Josh and charlie, thank you.

Us Shannon White house briefing getting test your than usual over immigration. House republicans take another stab at a new immigration proposal. Trace gallagher is following it all for us tonight. Good evening, trace. Shannon, Republican Leaders have circulated copies of a discussion draft of new immigration legislation that includes 25 billion to build the wall. Would increase the number of Immigration Enforcement agents, and would give 1. 8 million dhaka recipients the socalled dreamers, paths or permanent residency. Legislation would also get rid of visa lotteries. In other words, the visa program that favors immigrants with skills. And it would end the controversial practice of separating families detained in the border. Which speaker of the house paul ryan says he strongly supports. We dont want kids to be separated from their parents. I just made that really clear. We believe because of the court ruling, this will require legislative change. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi things paul ryan is posturing, issuing a statement that seats if speaker reimer were serious about ending the barbaric mass separation of vulnerable families, he would call upon President Trump to end this stunningly inhumane policy that his administration adopted immediately. Majority whip Steve Scalise will gauge support for the bill tomorrow by g. O. P. Negotiators say they are not ready to endorse the bill. Meantime, the subject of separating families detained at the border has angered human Rights Groups and immigration advocates and it also became a hot point during todays white house briefing. Sarah sanders was pressed on why the administration continues to shelter immigrant parents and their children in different locations. Watch. Because its the law, and thats what the law states. You dont have to do that. It doesnt have to be the law, the president has actually called on democrats in congress to fix those loopholes. The democrats have failed to come to the table, failed to help this president close these loopholes and fix this problem. Its unclear which loopholes sanders is referencing but we should note the alien transfer exit program which started in 2008 was initially aimed at separating male and rick scott along the border. The goal was to stop those Illegal Immigrants crossing the border time and again but it often resulted in thousands of families being separated. Shannon. Shannon trace gallagher, thank you. Video of President Trump saluting a north Korean Military officials causing a bit of controversy. Kristin fisher is here to bring us the facts. By definition, a military salute as a sign of respect, so for a sitting u. S. President to salute a three star general of a hostile regime, you can see why its raising some eyebrows especially since both countries are technically still at war. Not to mention the first video of the salute was released via north korean state media. It shows President Trump reaching out to shake the north korean general sam but instead of shaking his hand, the general salute him, so President Trump salutes him back. Several military analysts that theyve never seen an american president salute an officer of another military, much less a hostile one. But the official protocol on how president s should meet foreign leaders is murky. Remember a few years ago, former president barack obama took some heat for bowing to the saudi king. In fact, our current president criticized him for it. Tonight the white house is defending President Trumps decision to return the salute. Its a common courtesy one a military official from another government salutes. He returned that. President trump isnt the only one showing respect. The North Koreans are giving it right back to him in this video that was broadcast throughout the country. No longer are they calling him a dotard or just trump. Now they are calling him the president of the United States of america or even supreme leader.
