For the dreamers as triggers some complaints from the far right. A clarification from the white house and a new nickname from breitbart. Lets get to it. First from the fox news deck this thursday afternoon, President Trump says hes looking forward to meeting with the special counsel, Robert Mueller, and that he will absolutely beat with him, speak with him under oath if his lawyers let him. The president s attorney say they still have not signed off on any interview yet. President trump surprised reporters last night in the white house and answered some sort of offthecuff questions about the russia investigation. There were no video cameras. It happened to quickly. Theres audio. Heres some of it. I would love to do it and like to do it as soon as possible. I would love to do it. I have to say, subject to my lawyers and all of that. Shepard subject to the lawyers. The special counsel investigators have interviewed more than 20 white house staffers, including members of President Trumps inner circle. The attorney general Jeff Sessions is the highest ranking in the Trump Administration about which we know to meet with muellers team. Mueller is looking into moscows meddling in the 2016 president ial election, possible collusion with his staff, his campaign and whether the president himself obstructed justice. The president has denied those claims. John roberts is traveling with the president. Hes live in davos switzerland. What else are you hearing from the president s attorney, john . Shep, good evening to you from switzerland. What im hearing, theres disagreement between the president s attorneys over whether the president should sit down for an interview with Robert Mueller. Just lay it out for you. The president has three attorneys. One is ty cobb. Hes the counsel in the white house. And theres jay secula. Ty cobb said as the president left to catch the helicopter to air force base that the plan is to cooperate with the special counsels office and in the particular to cooperate, theyre talking about a possible interview. Sources familiar with the investigation tell fox news that his outside attorneys are of a different mind about all of this. You mentioned this at the top, shep. No attorney wants his or her client to sit down with the prosecutors. What has gone on here over the last several months between the white house and the transition is that they have handed over thousands upon thousands of documents in excruciating detail over what went on during the transition and what occurred in the president s time in the white house. These are emails, these are deliberation memos, these are schedules. The special counsels office has got a tremendous wealth of information. And if you have a prosecutor that has that level of granularity of detail about the president , the last thing you want to have happen is for the president to sit down with the special counsel. Last night when he was speaking to reporters before leaving the white house, the president insists again that there was no collusion between the Trump Campaign and the russians to influence the u. S. What the president said last night in terms of his desire to speak with Robert Mueller was 180degree flip from what he told me at a press conference with the Prime Minister of norway where he said since theres no collusion, you have to wonder if there would be an interview. The president has said he wants to speak with mueller. If you say youre going to talk to mueller and you dont, that leaves you open to criticism. The president has gotten out of sticky situations before. Maybe this time as well if his attorneys say you cant sit down with mueller, no way. Shep . Shepard john roberts live in davos, switzerland. Thanks very much, john. Lets bring in john bussey from the wall street journal. John is also a fox news contributor. So one of the things that i thought was interesting, hes always said theres no collusion. Now a new line. The new line is if you fight back, they consider that to be obstruction. Thats new. Yeah. So hes shepard sounds like a defense line. Hes trying to say whatever i did was fighting back. It was politics. Look, the incremental movement here is what john roberts was talking about, which is that a couple weeks ago he was saying look, if theres no collusion, why would there be an interview . He was saying im willing to do this, but maybe not. Now hes saying im going to do it. Theres still a little rollback on that as you pointed out subject to my lawyers. My lawyers. Shepard wasnt much of that. If you listen to the whole thing, he was saying of course im willing to do this. Unequivocal. That is the Movement Forward on this whole thing, this is a president that wants to look transparent. Nothing happened that should raise questions to begin with. He wants to sit down with mueller. The lawyers are very much debating exactly how that will take place. Is it him sitting down with the fbi and just talking, is it written questions and some talking . Is there going to be certain topics but not others . All that is in the air. Looks like now the momentum is toward a discussion between the president and the fbi in this investigation. Shepard this under oath thing is a red herring. Doesnt matter if youre under oath at all with the fbi. Thats right. Youre not going to get caught in a lie. For the lawyers, theyre wrestling with this because theres dangers involved. This is a president that doesnt always have the firmest grip on facts and the truth as told falsehoods. Theyre up against investigators that have now, after all of the interviews of white house staffers and others are looking at issues of collusion and obstruction. They have investigators on Money Laundering on their staff as well. So all of those topics might come to the fore and challenge a president with very specific knowledge on the part of the fbi of what has happened. Theyre going to test the president of not only just his knowledge of but whether hes telling the truth. Shepard sounds like hes very eager to get in there and defend himself. Its not as if hes one that is to whom depositions and giving testimony in civil cases is an unknown territory. Far from it. Its not criminal, its not Robert Mueller, but he does have experience. Done it in the past. Hasnt always gone well. His comment at the end, that he hopes hes able to do this. I hope so. Also leaves a window open of whether or not it will happen. Shepard you get an option. Depends on what the definition of is, did not come freely and willingly. That was compelled. The president from a political standpoint and you see this in the enthusiasm of his comments. Ive done nothing wrong. Why would i not want to talk to the fbi . Thats where this is headed now. Shepard if you get that sort of a thing, we know that you cant decide for yourself. We know prosecutors make that decision on some level. Because hes the president and theres some level of deference, theres negotiating that happens in advance like with the topics, would there be guardrails on topics, would there be rules on whether its recorded or how transcriptions take place. All of those things. If youre muellers, youre not going to have guardrails. Shepard why would you . Exactly. On the topics that need to be addressed, the president and his lawyers are negotiating on the manner in which its done. If theres written questions and a considered response can be prepared, vetted by the lawyers. Its not something where the president gets caught in an inconsistency in the course of the interview. Those are the issues that will be demanded now. Shepard cnn is reporting theyre about to interview bannon. Nbc says they have a lot of reporting on don jr. And Jeff Sessions. And remember, there were documents asked for from Deutsche Bank about the Financial Relationships between organizations, entities that had done business with the Trump Organization through Deutsche Bank. That raised the question of money moving shepard the Money Laundering part. Manafort is facing issues on that as well. We dont know where this is going with the president and the president doesnt either and the lawyers want the questions so they do know in advance, where how far is this investigation going to reach. This has been a group under mueller thats been pretty good at keeping the dimension of the investigation under wraps. Shepard speaking with lawyers about this, one said to me this morning, dont forget the rumsfelt rules. We dont know them. Yes. This is a president that might find it a challenging experience. Shepard who wouldnt . Who wouldnt and in his enthusiasms and in his sales job, in his salesmanship kind of role, the lawyers that want him to get out over his skis. Shepard yeah. Two things going on here. One part is legal, one is public relations. Theres a third part, personality. Shepard john, great to see you. Thank you. Shepard when the president says he is looking forward to speaking with the investigators, that depends on the qualifiers. Thats true with anyone in this sort of situation. You have to listen to your lawyers, or you ought to. Ahead well talk with a former federal prosecutor about what sort of legal advice he would give this president. Thats coming up from the fox news deck on a thursday afternoon. Glad to have you in. Smile dad. I take medication for high Blood Pressure and cholesterol. But they might not be enough to protect my heart. Adding bayer aspirin can further reduce the risk of another heart attack. Because my Second Chance matters. Be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. Oh thanks. Say, yeah, i took your advice and had geico help with renters insurance it was really easy. Easy. Thatd be nice. Phone for help with chairs, say chair. Phone for help with bookcases, say bookcase. Bookcase. I thought this was the dresser . Isnt that the bed . Phone im sorry, i didnt understand. Phone for help with chairs, say chair. Does this mean were not going out . Bookcase. See how easy renters insurance can be at geico. Com. Woman im a fighter. Always have been. When i found out i had agerelated macular degeneration, amd, i wanted to fight back. My doctor and i came up with a plan. It includes preservision. Only Preservision Areds 2 has the exact nutrient formula recommended by the National Eye Institute to help reduce the risk of progression of moderate to advanced amd backed by 15 years of clinical studies. Thats why i fight. Because its my vision. Preservision. Shepard President Trump says hes not obstructing justice in the russia investigation. Just depending himself. Shepard fighting back . Oh, its obstruction . The president has called the russia probe a witch hunt and hoax. We dont know the full extent of Robert Muellers probe. Theres no way to know. As plenty of reporters have noted, there are signs that hes looking to whether the president obstructed justice when he fired james comey last march. Lets turn to bob bianci. Former defense attorney. Bloomberg is reporting that mueller is close to wrapping up part of his investigation dealing with the obstruction question. You heard this question about fighting back. Yeah, this is very problematic and every time donald trump opens his mouth, he puts himself deeper into the investigation. Fighting back could be considered a corrupt purpose under the statute. Thats very reckless that his even going to speak to them. It was a new line though. He was very specific. There is no collusion, theres no collusion and now he added this new thing. I wondered if that wasnt part of a Defense Strategy and what you thought of that. It could be. The golden rule is you dont say anything. Its a good Defense Strategy. Its better to launch it if you should be charged rather than let the prosecutors know that is what your strategy is. Thats a problem. Shepard prosecutors will tell you the best times are when the big thing is right there in front of your eyes. For instance, when he was asked by nbc news about obstruction, he said right then and there, i had the russia investigation on my mind when i fired him. What else do you need . If youre a prosecutor. The minute he fired comey and gave the lester holt interview and the other russians, he said the basis on which he did it was the russian investigation. I knew right then they were opening a file. If you were trying to ease an investigation, youre going to have a problem if you fired him for the reasons of stopping that investigation. Theres the collusion part. We know about that because of the way some of the other folks around him have been dealt with. Theres the obstruction of justice part. What about this third part, the third matter that is involved there and it appears to be where the prosecutors hes hired with Money Laundering. Listen, hes got a whole consolation of problems. When he goes through the door, he doesnt know all the evidence, whether its a financial crime, obstruction or collusion or somebody else. Not only that, he may will putting his son or soninlaw in jeopardy by answering questions as well. Its an extremely dangerous thing to do. Any defense lawyer, the last thing i want to do is bring a guy in for an interview period, end of story. Shepard you have to figure mike flynn is a wild card. He appears to be cooperating. He doesnt want his son in it. Theres other wild cards. Shep, i said this awhile, watch reince priebus. Its too quiet. Everything is too quiet out there. Theyre speaking to people in the know. Theyre speaking to people that may be jilted. I think that that is a place i would look. We know about manafort and theres others. Theres steve bannon with whom hes not getting along with. Absolutely. Youd be surprised with a prosecutor you put pressure on somebody you always go to the person that feels theyre slighted. Especially if they have legal jeopardy, say hey, no more, im willing to cooperate. Thats where trump does not know whether or not those people are cooperating. So when he walks through the door and he starts giving statements, whether its under oath or not and they have statements from other people or emails or Text Messages that disprove it, he could be done a slippery slope, shep. Shepard if the fbi is interviewing you, it doesnt matter if youre under oath or not. If you lie, its perjury. Not that he would. Its a false Statement Like what happened with manafort. Its not a perjury charge. Shepard its criminal. Its a criminal offense, no question about it. Shepard thanks, bob. Former prosecutor, defense attorney. Thanks. You bet. Shepard now there are two memos about the russia investigation. Democrats writing their own version to challenge the one that was written by devin nunes that is critical of the fbi and our institutions. One gop lawmaker calling nor the party to drop the conspiracy theories already and support Law Enforcement like republicans have always done. Theres a story here largely about p. R. And its next. People would stare. Psoriasis does that. It was tough getting out there on stage. I wanted to be clear. I wanted it to last. So i kept on fighting. I found something that worked. And keeps on working. Now . They see me. See me. See if cosentyx could make a difference for you cosentyx is proven to help people with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Find clear skin that can last. Dont use if youre allergic to cosentyx. Before starting cosentyx, you should be checked for tuberculosis. An increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur. Tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms. Or if you have received a vaccine or plan to. If you have inflammatory bowel disease, tell your doctor if symptoms develop or worsen. Serious allergic reactions may occur. Never give up. See me. See me. Clear skin can last. Dont hold back. Ask your dermatologist if cosentyx can help you find clear skin that lasts. Shepard democrats on the House Intelligence Committee now say they have a memo of their own, which they say challenges the republican memo that criticizes the Justice Department and the federal bureau of investigation. The chairman of House Intelligence Committee, the republican devin nunes of california prepared that gop document, wrote it. It reportedly accused some federal officials of political bias in their investigation into russian meddling in the 2016 president ial election and possible collusion with the Trump Campaign. The memo contains classified informations. Democrats say its misleading and meant to make investigators look bad so people are less likely to believe their findings. Tear down the institutions of government and the news organizations which report so neither will be believed in the event of negative findings on the president or his administration. Some republicans say that memo is so damning that it could shut down the special counsel Robert Muellers investigation. But not all republicans agree. Today for instance, the republican congressman charlie dent of pennsylvania said his colleague should cease and desist from some of this rhetoric. We were mortified when many on the far left were launches these attacks against police. Now here we are as a party, you know, trying to brand ourselves as somehow suggesting the men and women of the fbi are not as professional as they ought to be. We need to get behind Law Enforcement, show some respect here and move away from these conspiracy theories. Shepard conspiracy theories. Other republicans are calling for the memo to be made public and that americans should see it and judge for themselves. The trump Justice Department warning lawmakers say that would be extraordinarily reckless unless the department reviews the document first. The information in the memo is classified. So thats classified for a republican. It has National Security implications and if theres ed of wrong doing, we want to see it while its classified. Shepard the number 2 Senate Republican says its up to the house whether to release the memo. He says people should take it seriously. When the public begins to question the integrity of the department and the fbi and include in the absence of other information somehow that politics has taken over other than the law, thats a serious matter and we need to get that cleared up through one means or another. Shepard john cornyn. The top democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, adam schiff of california says if republicans do relief their memo, democrats will also call for their memo to go public. Republican, this began with devin nunes, the same devin nunes that last year made white house surveillance claims, stage add rush to the white house to share surveillance information with the chairman but took information from the administration and staged a report of it. At its core, it was p. R. And it was bogus. Devin nunes wrote the memo currently in question. He will not share it with investigators. The trump Justice Department wants to see it. He wont let them. The same Trump Department says it should not be made public as it would damage the nation. Its classified. It could reveal sources and methods. The Republican Trump appointee, the assistant attorney general, stephen boyd says releasing the memo would be extremely reckless. Richard burr, the republican of north carolina, chairman of the select committee on intelligence, has requested a look before any possible declassification. Look denied. In who have seen the memo say its misleading, distracting and lacking context. The memo itself is in the conservative discussion mix while the special counsel investigating russian interference in hour democracy is about to interview the president of the us to see if hes colluded with the russians. A memo can be a part of partisan distraction, especially in a Pivotal Moment in history. Context matters. Lets turn to tom bevin, cofounder and publisher of real clear politician. Tom, it was pointed out in another network, the top four stories being aggregated by real clear politics where all of this same ilk. What does this say about the National Discussion . Well, look, shep, theres interest in obviously in this memo and certainly among republicans, among partisans because of the way its been described by the people in congress who have seen it. They have been shocked by it. They have gone and talked about without actually getting into the contents of it, talked about what it outlines and thats why i think youve seen this push for it to be made public so the public can actually see what is in this memo shepard it reportedly tears down the investigator and the fbi and others. He will not show it to them, though they have asked for it so it can be prepared for declassification, which the president could do but has not yet done. It gives them a weapon of mass distraction in the middle of this investigation. Doesnt it . Well, that is what critics are saying. This is entirely about that. Trying to undermine this special counsel and potentially undermine his findings. But i do think, shep, it represents whats been going on for months, which is republicans do have frustrations as a coequal branch of government, they have oversight over the executive over which the fbi and the doj are part. Chuck grassly said yesterday similar things that he felt the finn has been noncooperative, slowwalking providing information and whatnot. That is part of the republican frustration of after a year of investigation, we still dont know the answer to was this dossier used for the fisa request that was why dont we know that information . Those are the questions that after a year we still dont have the answers to. Thats part of what the republicans frustrations are with the department of justice and the fbi. Shepard theres an investigation underway, isnt there . Isnt the idea that that investigation will get the answers and they will put them out there . Well, yes, shep, but at the same time, the question is why some of this information hasnt been made public yet. Shepard look what . Which question . About whether the dossier was used to get the fisa request shepard the dossier that was written by fusion that was put together by fusion gps, which was originally paid for by republicans which was taken over by the clintons and there is by the clinton camp and the dossier through which there is no suggestion so far that anything in it can be knocked down, right . Theres also no suggestion that anything in there shepard we havent been reporting on that dossier. That wasnt the topic of discussion today. The topic of discussion is this memo from which there if theres a basis for it to be released, the Trump Administration and its people could have done that. They have asked to see it. He wont let them see it. It seems to be a classic weapon of mass distraction. Shep, thats your opinion and shared by others. Im trying to point out that part of what this memo alleges is fisa abuse as far as the fbi and the doj. As far as i read shepard you have read it . I have not. Shepard you havent read the nunes memo that nunes wrote . I havent read it either. The classified . No. Theres about 100 republicans in the house of representatives who have seen it and read it and thats about i think there may be a couple democrats. Thats about it. Shepard thats about it. Good to talk to you. Thanks. Shep, thanks. Shepard context matters. Some conservatives are calling President Trumps amnesty don. Have you heard about this . After giving dreamer as pathway to citizenship. Now the white house is clarifying the president s comment. Well have a live update on the immigration negotiations. Thats coming up. My names dustinhey, dustin. Grab a seat. Woman okay. Moderator nice to meet you.

The news continues with Shepard Smith after this. Shepard 24 minutes before the hour now. The president again last night said hes open to a path to citizenship for the dreamers. The hundreds of thousands of immigrants whose parents brought them to the United States as children without documents. He said dreamers need not worry. As we have been reporting here, a solution for the dreamers is a very popular position according to the polls across america. On the left and the right, theres broad support. But the alt right faction of the president s base is against it. On the website breitbart get the president a nickname and a headline, amnesty don. Heres what he said last night. Shepard that was at the white house last night, a backtrack for the base. A senior white house official said citizenship was just a discussion point. The president has Given Congress until march to come up with a plan after he ended the program that protected the dreamers. Mike emanuel is live on capitol him. Hi, mike. Hi, shep. The president says he could possibly extend the deadline and not boxing himself in. A republican who has been a frequent critic of this president is praising him on the immigration issue. On this issue, his instincts are better than the advice he gets. I was encouraged by it. Assume the best, look for the good. John cornyn, in the middle of the immigration talks called this all pieces of a puzzle. Cornyn said people will focus on one part of Immigration Reform and want to do that and not the rest. The president says the various components are part of a package and we expect the White House Team to roll out its vision monday, shep. Shepard what are you hearing from democrats . Chris coons told us the president wants to be kr constructi constructive. Bipartisan lawmakers are trying to hammer out legislation. Chuck schumer is emphasizing the clock is ticking hoping deadline pressure will force a result. This administration will start separating families, taking kids out of school, Service Members out of our military, workers out of our companies. They will rip them from the American Fabric in which theyre embedded. We dont have time for extraneous issues that some on the right or the left might want to add that have nothing to do with daca or Border Security. So while lawmakers wait for the white house to roll out its plan, theres still meetings trying to come up with a big bipartisan package that can get through the senate and that will force the house to take it up, shep. Shepard mike emanuel on capitol hill. Thank you. Lets go to alex isenstadt. Hello. Hello. Shepard the president has been fairly clear about this from time to time. Then we get a walk back. Yeah, look, hes been all over the place rhetorically when it comes to Immigration Reform. He stresses Different Things at different times, whether its a Border Security, a border wall, security or finding a pathway to citizenship, which is different than what he spoke to during the campaign. This is trump style. He talks in different ways about the same topic at different times. It makes it hard to pin him down. But also complicated congressional lawmakers trying to hammer out a deal on this. Shepard in that gaggle last night at the white house, he was very specific as he has been in the staff. His staff walked it back. Absolutely. This is complicating life for white house staff, which is trying to highlight sort of a stringent approach to this where theyre saying, look, we need to have a lot of funding for border for a wall and for security in hopes of trying to maximize pressure on democrats as the negotiations get underway. Shepard how much of this about his base is against it. A lot of republicans, a lot of conservatives are all for a figure out for dreamers, a way to make them as american as they always felt they are according to the president. Theres the one section, his most ardent supporters that are against it. Its hard to figure out what to do there, i would guess. Shepard absolutely. Its a really really a complex puzzle. On the other hand, by the way, you have house republicans, many of whom having primaries this year, who feel a need to at least rhetorically talk about things like Border Security because that is what the conservative base wants. So yes, on one hand youre trying to find a pathway to citizenship but youre also highlighting other things like security. So it makes things makes it really complicated as we get closer and closer to this march deadline for figuring out how a deal would look. Shepard we hear about deadlines and then it sounds like they may be sort of flexible on the deadline. What was it he said about that . Look, this is sort of the thing. Its unclear whether the white house would necessarily be flexible in terms of moving that march deadline on the date of when the Dreamer Program would expire. That might be needed if congressional lawmakers couldnt work out a deal. At this point, theres not a solution at least in that near term. Shepard it would be interesting in the democrats said, all right, heres your border money, heres the other things youre asking for. Now lets fix this dreamer issue. Youd wonder if each said gave, if they compromised and came up if theres something for everybody, if they might be able to find something that works without alienating that section of base that never waivers. Yeah, absolutely. Then you have the question of President Trump who has been all over the place on this. Although he has indicated in the past several weeks that he would sign whatever agreement that you two sides could come to on this. Shepard he did. Thanks, alex. Thank you.

Shepard so if the special counsel Robert Mueller or one of his investigators interviews President Trump, it would not be the first time this a commanderinchief has testified in recent history. President trump said he will absolutely testify under oath and that hes looking forward to it. Others have. Trace gallagher has that and a look back at past president s that have done the same. Hey, trace. Hey, shep. Lets begin with democrats since bill clinton was the most recent. He gave sworn testimony for the whitewater scandal. That was the investigation into the Whitewater Development corporation. Mr. Clinton was investigated in the paula jones Sexual Harassment case. Here he is in a later deposition testifying about his relationship with monica lewinsky. Look here. When i was alone with miss lewinsky on certain occasions in early 1996 and once in early 1997, i engaged in conduct that was wrong. Yeah, president jimmy carter testified under oath numerous time for a criminal conduct investigation involving his brother, billy and financial improprieties at the carters family peanut warehouse, shep.

Look at that. That happened earlier this month in montecito outside santa barbara. Mudslides there killed 21 people. California Highway Patrol reports the officers floated helplessly as they put it for about 15 seconds before their tires got some traction and they drove away. Nearly half a million americans are still living in the dark, washing their clothes in bathtubs, more than three months after the hurricanes ripped through puerto rico.

Thats the good stuff. Last night the governor said they will receive approximately 35 billion in aid. However, puerto rico is facing a massive debt and they wont be able to replay the money until 2022, shep. Shepard ive told youve spoken to people in puerto rico. What are you hearing there . Weve been skyping with them. They said things are really, really bad. You mentioned the washing the clothes in the bathtub. Thats from one mother of two we spoke with. She said shes still dealing with this, washing clothes in rain water. A law student says shes thankful for the help but would like to see more organization. Its definitely helping. But we need a lot more. We need more resources, more support. I think most of all, we need more coordination. This is really, really serious.
