Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Shepard Smith Reporting 20181210

And her cell phone pings hundreds of miles away. Reporting begins now. Announcer now Shepard Smith reporting live from the fox news desk. Shepard smith President Trumps former fixer and lawyer and new accusations about the hush money payoffs to a porn star and a playmate. The top democrat on the House Intelligence Committee adam schiff says President Trump could eventually spend time behind bars. Theres a very real prospect on the day donald trump leaves office, the Justice Department may indict him. He may be the first president in quite some time to face the real prospect of jail time. Federal prosecutors filed a Court Document stating that President Trump illegally ordered his former longtime Attorney Michael Cohen to buy the silence of two women. That, it said, is a violation of Campaign Finance law. The president today tweeted its his lawyers mistake, not his. The actress Stormy Daniels and the playboy model Karen Mcdougal have both talked publicly about what they claim were sexual relations with the president. President trump denies the affairs and has not been publicly charged with any crimes related to the payments. Part of the filing last week reads as cohen himself has now admitted with respect to both payments, he acted in coordination with and at the direction of individual one, thats the president. The documents do not include President Trumps name, but they note individual one became the president of the United States in january of 2017. In a separate court filing on friday, the special Counsel Robert Mueller wrote that cohen lied to congress and prosecutors about his contacts with russians during the 2016 president ial campaign. That same day, mueller team also released a heavily redacted document accusing the president s former Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort of lying to special counsel investigators violating his plea deal. Robert mueller says manafort misled investigators about his contacts with a ukrainian businessman linked to Russian Military intelligence and about his communication with Trump Administration fishes stretching into this officials stretching into this calendar year. Manaforts lawyers say he believes he was truthful. Mueller is looking into moscows meddling, possible collusion with President Trumps campaign, whether the president himself obstructed justice, and evidence of any crimes uncovered during the investigation. The Washington Post reports russians interacted with at least 14 different President Trump associates during the campaign and president ial transition, and that the special counsel prosecutors are looking into it all. President trump says there was no collusion and no obstruction. The president tweeted this morning about the investigation, denying everything and once again calling it a witch hunt. Our chief intelligence correspondent reporting from washington. Reporter despite some limited cooperation, the u. S. Attorney in new york and the special counsel are calling for significant jail time defined for cohen. They allege the Campaign Finance violation admitted payments to Stormy Daniels and Karen Mcdougal. The incoming chairman said hes weighing impeachment among other options. Well, they would be impeachable offenses. Whether they are important enough to justify impeachment is a different question. Even though they were committed before the president became president , they were committed in the service of fraudulently obtaining the office. That would be an impeachable offense. The fact of the matter is, what we see from indictments and charging statements is a much broader conspiracy against the American People involving these payments, involving, you know, attempt to to influence the campaign improperly. Reporter in a tweet, the president s lawyer Rudy Giuliani declared candidate trump did not break any laws, no collusion, he wrote, no obstruction. Not clearly a Proper Campaign contribution or expenditure. Cohens sentencing is just days away, wednesday, in new york city. Shepard smith there is more court action in the manafort case coming up this week, right . Reporter thats right. We have a status hearing tomorrow here in washington. On wednesday, both will be in a federal court arguing whether the Campaign Chairman violated his plea agreement with the special counsel. The special counsel investigators allege improper contacts between manafort and the white house. After signing the plea agreement, manafort stated he had no director indreblgt communications with anyone in the administration while they were in the administration and that he never asked anyone to try to communicate a message to anyone in the administration on any subject matter. The evidence demonstrates that manafort lied about his contacts and that he had contact with administration officials. Manaforts legal team has argued consistently that the special counsel is using strong arm tactics to obtain information their client does not have or evidence they say does not exist. It also says the special counsel has pressed manafort on jared kushner. Similar allegations were levelled again today by an associate, a political operative roger stone. And just for some context on the contact between manafort and the white house, you remember they have whats called a common or a communal defense. Really the controversy is why that continues after the plea agreement was made, shep. Shepard smith live from washington, now the search for the next white house chief of staff. On saturday, President Trump said john kelly will be leaving his post by the end of the year. Vice president pences chief of staff, nick ahers was reported to be the top contender for the job. But today he took himself out of the running saying he would also like to leave this white house at the end of the year. Reporter so that means both President Trump and the Vice President mike pence now need a new chief of staff. Much of the intrigue surrounding the president s upcoming selection as the white house keep of staff is essentially the gatekeeper over here from the west wing. Theres a lot of speculation with names flying all over the place to replace john kelly. That includes the current budget director nick mulvaney. He was long thought to be a possible successor to the outgoing kelly. Mulvaney is no longer interested in the position. Mulvaney, rather, im told would be more interested in treasury or commerce if the president would eventually need him in one of those roles. A source close to Steve Mnuchin told me as well this morning that mnuchin has never expressed interest in becoming the next white house chief of staff. Im told mnuchin feels he can best serve as the treasury secretary. An interesting answer, though, over the weekend as it remlated to the president s top trade representative. Listen here. Has anyone at the white house talked to you about chief of staff . No. What im hearing from you is youre not interested in the job . Im not i havent spoken to anyone. Im entirely focused on what im trying to do, and its difficult enough. Reporter so he didnt entirely shut the door there. Hes leading up the trade negotiations between the United States and china right now this is the single biggest policy priority for President Trump. Very likely will be the biggest policy priority as wellhe headi into 2019 as well. Shepard smith for chief of staff, there is one person who seems quite interested. Mark meadows from North Carolina has openly embraced the possibility. His name popped up in reports as well. He was saying serving as chief of staff would be an incredible honor. The president has a long list of qualified candidates, i know hell make the best selection for his administration and the country. Meadows himself has been a major ally of this president. Meadows sits on the oversight committee. Has a lot of experience dealing with those issues. Democrats, as you know, have talked about what they want to do with subpoena power come 2019, so meadows could make sense considering his years on the overnight committee. With nick ahers no longer in the running, there is no clear favorite to replace john kelly. Reporter live on the north lawn. Much more reporting in just a moment with a very busy started to the news week. Stocks have largely bounced back after falling almost off the cliff this morning, down into correction territory at one point on a huge setback for brexit. The uk postponed the vote on its divorce deal with the European Union and now analysts have a warning about what could happen if britain leaves the eu without a deal in place. Plus, more violent protests rocking paris. Closed down the eiffel tower. The french president a short time ago with a prime time address to the nation. Hes making moves and changes and well discuss those and his request for calm as our reports continues on this reporting continues on this monday afternoon. George woke up in pain. But he has plans today. Hey dad. So he took aleve. If hed taken tylenol, hed be stopping for more pills right now. Only aleve has the strength to stop tough pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. Aleve. All day strong. Because they let me to customize my insurance, and as a fitness junkie, i customize everything. Like my bike and my calves. Liberty mutual customizes your Car Insurance so you only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Shepard smith chaos continues in paris. A short time ago, the president of the nation addressed his people. The french president Emmanuel Macron says that hell use all means to restore calm to france after another violent weekend. He outlined his plans in a first nationally televised speech since the protest began last month. French media report 136,000 people demonstrated across the country over the weekend. The biggest demonstration . Paris. Parts of the city shut down. More than 8,000 cops said to patrol the streets. People lit fires and vandalized shops and restaurants. Huge Armored Police vehicles rolled down streets that are usually busy with Holiday Shoppers this time of year. The protests began over macrons proposal to raise the gas tax. He since scrapped that idea, but the protests have grown into a Larger Movement against government and economic inequality. Tonight, macron rolled out new policies. We were there in paris over the weekend, and the violence was strong. It was heavy between the antigovernment protesters and the police and the demand from macron to Say Something was strong as well. We heard him speak for about 13 minutes. Here is how he led off this address to the nation. Translator dear french citizens, we are here today together in respect to the future of our country, the last week in france have troubled the nation. There was legitimate claims, however there is a chain of inadmissible violence. Reporter he talked about that violence as being unacceptable behavior, his line where there is violence, the freedom stops. He did give those specific rescinding of the gas tax that caused all of this protest, or at least started it anyway. A small increase in minimum wage, a cut in taxes on bonuses and overtime and an easing in taxes for retirees. There was an apology, sort of. Maybe i gave the impression i didnt care, he said, thats not true. Maybe i hurt some of you, and that was not my intention. Efforts to hit all of the points in this very short address, and now it starts, shep. Shepard smith i wondered about reaction here in, what, the 9 00 hour there. Reporter exactly. We were speaking to a few folks in france affidavit address happened, including the editor of a magazine. And the reviews are this good may be helping to tamp down the violence, but maybe not enough. Again, the specifics, they were impressive. There were a few surprising ones. He said his Prime Minister would detail it on tuesday. At the same time, though, he is hard at doing the emotive thing. Its difficult for him to reach out to the people. So the apologies and the the small stories about old people and single people, a little bit came off a little bit strained. The decision is from the folks ive talked to there should be some tamping of the violence and thats a good thing. The british Prime Minister theresa may has postponed parliaments vote on her brexit deal to leave the European Union. This was unexpected. She said lawmakers would have voted it down by a significant margin, and that would have been a real disaster for her politically. Britains original vote to leave the eu in the summer of 2016 was decided by just a few percentage points. And the analysts say if the uk does drop out without a deal in place, that could trigger a broad recession. We saw stocks here in the u. S. Slide this morning after the Prime Minister postponed the vote. The pound sterling dropped to 18month lows against the dollar. The dow, as you can see, has bounced back here late in the day. Well have live reporting from the New York Stock Exchange ahead. First, Ashley Webster reporting live from london. Reporter hey, shep. You know, it was embarrassing for the Prime Minister. She finally had to admit she just didnt have the support or the votes needed to get her brexit deal through. She told lawmakers, look, i understand your reservation, but this is the only deal i can get. Shes going to be forced to go back to brussels and try to get a sweeter deal. She told lawmakers, i know theres going to be a call for a second referendum. Those calls will get louder. She said its just not going to happen. Take a listen. If you want a second referendum to overturn the result of the first, be honest. This rift dividing the country again. Reporter dividing the country indeed. Nothing about brexit has been easy at all, shep. Its a country divided. Its divided families and communities and its divided the house of Commons Parliament behind me. Coming up with a solution has been almost impossible, but theresa may will have to go back to brussels later this week to try and get a better deal. Shepard smith what other options does she have . T step be this trip back to brussels . The eu in brussels says forget it. We gave you the best deal youre going to get, so you can try, but youre not going to get anything. What may happen, we may see a challenge to her leadership, shep. Not only is she fighting for brexit, she could very well be fighting for her own political life. Reporting live tonight from london.

A source familiar with the negotiations tells fox news attorneys expect her to sign the deal by tomorrow morning. Her name is maria butina. You may have heard of her before. The feds arrested her back in july. Essentially, shes accused of spying for the russians. She faces charges of conspiracy and acting as an unregistered Foreign Agent for russia. She plans to plead guilty to the conspiracy charge, but the deal to dismiss the second charge. Prosecutors say she used her work with the nra to make connections with american politicians and gather intelligence. Reporter maria butina has been sitting in a virginia jail where International Terror suspects are generally held while awaiting trial. Today, her attorney said shes ready to change her plea as soon as tomorrow after insisting for months she was just a gun rights enthusiasts who attended nra events and rubbed elbows with prominent republicans because she liked it. Shes willing to admit back in moscow somebody was pulling the strings telling her where to go and who to meet with. We dont know what kind of cooperation shes given sense, just that shes apparently sharing her thoughts about ways she thinks they could improve u. S. And russian relations. We do know this is happening outside the bigger mueller investigation. She did try to get close to the Trump Campaign to figure out a back channel for a meeting between now President Donald Trump and russian president vladimir putin, but none of that ever materialized. It appears the closest she ever got to candidate trump was a 2017 public q a session with him in las vegas where she asked a question whether he thought sanctions should remain in place that she said were economically very damaging to russia. The president answered that he did not think those sanctions were necessary any longer. At some point soon, were going to learn how much more jail time prosecutor want and how long it will take before shes deported back to russia. Reporter peter ducey reporting live from washington. Two nuns in Southern California reportedly asking for forgiveness and prayers after they admitted they stole a half Million Dollars from a Catholic School for gambling and vacations. The evidence showed up during a routine audit. The nuns have deep remorse, according to one church leader. Reporter this happened in Saint James Catholic Church in florence. Sister Mary Margaret cooper and sister lana chang who was a teacher. Sister Mary Margaret retired and any change of leadership is followed by a standard audit. The accountants found some checks for tuition and other school fees were deposited into a long forgeten school account. Instead of the checks being endorsed with a Saint James School stamp, they were endorsed with a saint james convent stamp. The los angeles archdiocese says it happened over a period of ten years, and the 500,000 is the only amount they could trace. That number may not include any cash deposits. Shepard smith what else have you learned about the nuns . Pretty Common Knowledge that nuns dont make a lot of money. They apparently had a pattern of going on several trips, especially to casinos or casino towns. They have confessed. In a letter to school families, the church said in part quoting sister Mary Margaret have expressed to me and asked that i convey the deep remorse they each feel for their actions and ask for your forgiveness and prayers. They pray you have not lost trust or faith in the educators and administrators of the school. Initially they said they wouldnt prosecute, but a spokesperson now says it will. Its unclear how much if any jail time the nuns could be facing. The sisters of saint joseph has agreed to pay back all of the embezzled money including penalties and sanctions. The school says at no time did any student suffer a loss of Educational Resources or opportunities because of the s miss appropriation of funds.

They say most of the damage was on the first floor, so thats where it probably started. Neighbors say the family had lived in that house for about six months. Stocks as i mentioned earlier in the tank this morning after the aforementioned concerns over brexit. The dow was off more than 400 points and firmly in correction territory for a while. Would you look at this . The dow is now in the green to the tune of 50 points and a quarter percent as well. Jerry willis reporting live. What a turnaround. Reporter no kidding. We were down 507 points on the dow at the beginning of the day. That was on the brexit news that the British Government will not pursue the brexit plan that was on the table. Now the dow up 81 points continuing to move higher. The s p 500 up 11. Good news there. And nasdaq is up even more than that. Look, we were talking this morning about whether the dow index would go into correction mode. Not so now. The overall tone of the market is not that positive. People are talking about selling the rally rather than buying the dip over concerns about earnings and interest rates. Lots of worries down here, not to mention trade, of course. The good news today is big tech stocks doing well. Google saying they would move to close their Google Plus Social Network faster than expected. And that is helping those tech stocks move ahead.

Let me tell you. This interview on 60 minutes. The stock is actually up today, which is a surprise. But he had this to say about his regulator, the securities and exchange commission. Listen. I want to be clear. I do not respect the sec. But youre abiding by the settlement, arent you . Because i respect the justice system. Reporter so there you hear the ceo talking about his lack of respect for the sec who he is bound to go by their guidelines. They recently told him he was no longer chairman. He had to go with that. The most interesting thing to me, he said he can do anything he want with tesla because hes the majority shareholder. The next biggest shareholder has a stake half as big as his. The other thing that came out of that interview, he may be willing, possibly he said, that was his word, to buy one of the gm factories that is going to be languishing here in a few months. Reporter live at the New York Stock Exchange. China is warning canada now it will pay a heavy price if it does not release a tech executive it arrested earlier this month.
