Attempt, i think, b by the majority. This is an inaccurate reports and this is no way to run an investigation. It is only a way to go through the emotions to get the pretense of trying to find the truth. Martha so now we wait for the third leg of this investigation from special counsel robert mueller. Chief correspondent catherine from capitol hill with where this stands now, high catherine. Thank you, martha, the republican chairman of the Intelligence Committee and ranking democrat posted they have more questions and they want to talk to more witnesses, but also indicate the investigation is winding down, no one is talking about evidence of collusion. Though the democrats continue to be concerned about what they characterize as suspicious contact between russians and the Trump Campaign. And also tonight there may be new legal exposure for the personal Attorney Michael Cohen after his lawyer lanny davis issued the select committee on intelligence has accepted mr. Komans request first postponement of tuesdays hearing due to post surgery medical needs. A future date will be announced by the committee. The issue is that he was last on the hill two years ago according to senator burr seen publicly over the weekend and also monday night indicating that maybe he wasnt that sick after all. Here senator burr speaking later today with reporters. I assure you any goodwill, the way he is positioning intel will not come to the committee. Catherine in the last few minutes, martha, we received an updated statement from lanny davis addressing senator burrs criticism. It says mr. Cohen has proposed surgery and that senator burr a little bit cheeky in his response should understand it is possible to be in pain and have a dinner at the restaurant with his wife and his children. But the bottom line, there was a subpoena for Michael Company went to appear before the senate Intelligence Committee today and he did not appear. The timeline is very short for him to do so because he begins prison term in early march, martha. Martha catherine, thank you very much, and joining me now sean spicer, and Senior Advisor for America First action and fox news political analyst of the five from a gentleman thank you for being here this morning, one, your reaction, when the republican side came out, but now you have chairman, saying that he doesnt see anything in terms of the most important elements they were looking for here. Juan in case of the house committee, david nunez from california was the leader they are. There was lots of suspicion he was coordinating, and only with the investigation but statements that were with the white house, the trump white house. I think, martha, you saw the democrats saying they did not have confidence in the findings. I think it is very difficult with the report coming from the senate. I think what we see from richard burr north carolina, and north virginia, and investigation a high level of credibility and when they say they cant find evidence of collusion, i think it carries a great deal of weight. I will make one point very quickly, they say there is no collusion but that does not mean there is not conspiracy. I think we know intelligence officials and others, that there were by russians to interfere in our election and help donald trump. Martha sean, what do you think . Sean i almost entirely agreed with juan until the very end. Look, this has been going on seven years, 300,000 documents were produced. This is the statement of chairman richard burr. If we write a report based on the facts that we have and we dont have anything that would suggest that there was collusion by the Trump Campaign in russia, pulsed up. That is the bipartisan part of that committee and i agree with juan. It was done in a bipartisan fashion and carries a lot of credibility. And at some point i think at some point, look the reality is democrats have been in search of a reason why they lost this election. The bottom line is, they ran a poor campaign. Hillary ran a poor campaign. Donald trump someone spoke to someone forgot americans and most people didnt give us the respect we deserved. The bottom line, we when they lost. The collusion theyve been searching for to make up the execution why they lost does not exist. Martha as i said in the beginning we wait for Robert Mullers report and we will see what is and they and even senator burr left the coffee out there could be Something Else that comes up along the way but as you point out, sean theyve been at this a long time looking under every rock they can find for two years. This is an interesting comment by the president s former attorney john dowd who said i would be shocked if there is a report or anything other than we are done from robert mueller. Juan with that shock you . Juan im on the outside of this and i know as a prosecutor has no obligation to provide a report. Essentially when he indicts people, i think he indicted 33 plus including the large group of russians, but also indict, when he indicts, the basic report to the people. Here is what i know and here is who im going after. I must quickly say in response to what sean was stating come i think there are lots of republicans even if there was proof of coordination and conspiracy say we should not impeach the president. But if there is obstruction, its only like a third of republicans who say it. Martha put what juan is referring to, the Mueller Report incurs trump tried to interfere with the probe and await amounts obstruction of justice would you propose impeaching trump . 66 say no. Juan of republican voters. Martha correct. Sean again we tried to find if then and if no code collision collusion two out of the three say there is no collusion. My guess is that 3 for 3. But we are losing sight of the bigger effect emphasis something that moment mueller has been charged with any entity foreign or domestic that tried to interfere with election is brought to justice. He is already in dark side indicted 20 individuals and we need to make sure we dont lose focus. There was no collusion. We need to take steps every entity that tries to interfere with our election understands they will be caught and brought to justice. That is similar, that is also part of muellers charge. Martha that was the original mandate. The problem is that it has bled far beyond that and we also know there are investigations in new york. Investigating at the family, the finances and everything they can get their hands on it. I thought this was interesting john dowd did interview with podcast for abc radio and he was asked, this is one of the reasons why there was a bit of disagreement on the legal team about whether or not the president should answer questions or verbally or he should sit down. John dowd said this and i want to get your interest on this, sean. There is no way he could do this, we would have to script it. My questioning in him and talking to him, the question, the first question easy, the second question easy, the third question, he wasnt sure. And he doesnt like being unsure. So he will guess. There is your trap right they are. Martha does that make sense to you . Does that at up to you that the president that you worked for, sean . Sean i dont think that is just the president by any witness. If you are 100 sure of, that is how they try to entrap you and if in a way if you dont answer and in a way exactly how youre supposed to, they go down a rabbit hole. Will if you didnt know that, did you know this or that. I think it is advice he was given because once you go down one hole, the bottom line juan touched on this. What if there is no collusion, then conspiracy, did you not do this or pay this . I think what we have to remember the democrats find out that there was no collusion, they will not admit they are wrong. They will pivot to the next thing. That is the reality, look for that. Once they strike out 3 out of 3, no collusion that house, senate or mueller, they will move to Something Else. They will not admit the first charge so theyve go to the next one, the next one and the next one until something sticks. Martha thanks, gentleman great to see you both tonight, thank you very much.

Martha tonight virginia democrats are under even more scrutiny after rape against the Lieutenant Governor with Facebook Messages obtained by fox news. Governor northam was in hot water every time he tried to clean up the blackface mass he is and is now starting a listening tour. In moments, brit hume, but first Trace Gallagher what we are learning tonight, good evening trace. Trace good evening, martha, Facebook Messages from Meredith Watson the second woman to accuse Justin Fairfax of Sexual Assault at Duke University. They showed march 2017 watson was commenting on peer effects of his dizzy and telling contacts about the alleged rape march 19, 2017, she writes this is absolutely disgusting. This dude rape me. Was it reported . Is there something that could be said . Meredith watson responded she did not report the fairfax assault because a year earlier when she accused duke basketball star Corey Maggette eat of rating her, watson claims Duke University discouraged her from. It is reviewing policies at the time and Corey Maggette and the nba until 2013 and now works for fox sports denied the allegations. Though fox sports is looking into the claims. Meredith watson says when he assaulted her, one of the people she confided and was her friend Justin Fairfax. She claims fairfax told her the reason he assaulted her was he knew she would be too afraid to say anything. Fairfax denies the allegation. During virginia 2017 election, watson wrote on facebook of course, i want to say something. He shouldnt be running for office. I just dont know what i can do. Advises watson to report anonymously to which watson says, nothing is anonymous anymore. Besides anonymous allegations carry no weight. And she wrote to a contact my sea you have been promoting Justin Fairfax on facebook despite knowing he rape me, mindblowing to me are you seriously voting for him today . Commit she did say it was similar to vanessa tyson. That is the first accuser who said Justin Fairfax forced her to perform oral. And we should note, while the pressure is increasing on Fairfax Committee is decreasing on Virginia GovernorRalph Northam as northam begins his listening apology to work a New Washington post sharp poll said 58 of africanamerican residents in virginia want northam to stay in only 37 want him to resign, martha. Martha trace, thank you very much. Brit hume senior political analyst, good evening to you, tough times and beloved home state of virginia. What do you make of the latest information tonight . Brit , martha, ive been with this politics for more than half a century and ive never seen anything like this. This is the most remarkable confluence of events coming together that i have ever seen. I mean, we are looking here and now three leading politicians, the governor, Lieutenant Governor and attorney general of the state of Virginia Home allegations and indeed a couple of them factual charges have come out. That would on horace enea one of them but because all three have been charged on the way they han charged and the circumstances it looks to me at the moment as though all three may survive and northam doesnt look like hes going anywhere for sure. His situation looks to be getting stronger. If he doesnt go down, they attorney general involved in a blackface incident will go down because of his. In the middle of it all, you have Justin Fairfax, the Lieutenant Governor, who would be next in line to succeed northam accused by two different women of Sexual Assault. But the mechanism for getting him out of office, he is denying the charges seems not to exist. Impeachment looks like a long shot because for things you did while in office. A little bit like a building held up by three pillars. All of them began to crumble, and they seem to pull it together in such a way that the whole thing remained standing. Martha yeah, but much lower. It stands much lower. It falls to the ground. And it is Incredible Group of circumstances. The only recourse legally would be if any of these bring criminal charges which statue of limitations does not run out and out, of course, a different situation for Justin Fairfax. I want to get your thoughts on Governor Northam listening tour. He has signaled that he would be willing to take down all of the statues as sort of come i dont know my penance come i guess. Given a reading list of things to read to his staff, including the case for reparations by nec pope and roots by alex haley. And he also announced hes restoring civil rights of 10,992 virginians previously convicted of a felony because everyone deserves a Second Chance. Trace this is a guy asking for a Second Chance himself in a big way. So these are political steps he can take. It looks like the Africanamerican Community at least the majority of them standing behind him. And i think he may end up pandering like mad to that section of the electorate, but that can only improve his standing politically. So, my sense is, he gets stronger by the date in terms of surviving in office. Im not sure that he will be, what will become of his governorship. But you will be there. The democrats nationally are looking at, martha, is these three guys to an office in virginia having been charged as they have and having in the case of northam and they attorney general having acknowledge these blackface incidents, the effect that may have on the ability of the democrats to use the race issue as they have done against a republicans be diminished. And of course, me too movement is looking at this Lieutenant Governor deciding, well, i think we will see how that plays out. But this looks like an ongoing problem for the democrats and because the way this has all fallen into place, it doesnt look like these guys are going to wear for now. Martha i want to play a sound bite President Trump talking about the new representative from minnesota eli omar. He called on her to resign or lose committee spot on the committee. Watch this. Congressman omar is terrible what she said. And i think she should either resign from congress, or she should certainly resign from the House Foreign Affairs committee. Martha what do you think about the president suggesting that . Brit well, you know, hes not the first person to suggest that. You recall stephen king, the hardcore republican conservative from iowa was caught up in some racially insensitive comments, the leadership in the Republican Party in the house, in this First Episode is to be noted at that time but the leadership stripping of the committee assignment. So they kind of set this president , which leads the democrats open to the accusations they were not doing as much about their member that got out on this issue as the republicans did about the errors. So that might give that charge some residence, at least among some elements of the politics. In that it shows you know issue too small for the president to pick up on. Martha exactly, and her issue, which i mentioned, brits, thank you. Good to see you tonight. Brit you bet, martha, thank you. Martha all eyes on President Trump as we await his next move on the border. Is he going to scrap the deal that was presented to him for not going far enough . What other options does he have. Thomas read and john karen dendy will be up next. I consider everything. We already have National Emergencies out there and gives you a real offer in seconds.

Martha so there is a look at the white house tonight where the president , no doubt, thinking about whether he will sign this and for integration healed by the democrats and avoid another shutdown that can happen as soon as friday. Among other things the new deal allocate 1,000,375,000 for 55 miles of new wall, new fans, whatever you want to call it along the southern border, but now there may be another deal and the president tweeted this moments ago which presented the concept and parameters of the Border Security deal by richard shelby. Looking over all aspects hooked up with lots of money from other sources, we will be getting almost 23 billion for Border Security, regardless of wrong money, it is being built as we speak. Here now with the inside story, two congressman involved in the border deal negotiations tom reed and John Garamendi, thank you so much for being here. Congressman, let me start with you. What does he mean by that, what does the president mean by that . Tom in the appropriations process, not to get to inside d. C. , this is money that can be relooked at National Security use and i think what the president is doing is coupling this deal with those resources and the First Priority that we should be protecting our borders. Tom john tom, you and i he been working together in harmony but that is not a harmonious statement. Beyond the 1. 3, the projects have already been appropriated, these are civil works product projects and military Construction Projects redeemed by congress by the military by the communities across america necessary to recover from the very disastrous and to prevent flooding in the future in my own area. Its about 2. 5 billion of absolutely essential martha let me ask you both this congressman and senator, with the money that the president is talking about take away from Disaster Relief or rebuilding money . Is that true . Tom there is different pots of money that could be reprogrammed and put towards Border Security, not just at the border but the whole spectrum of Border Security. So i understand the concern that john is raising and a legitimate concern, but this money is on the table. Lets put it to use to protect fellow american citizens. John tom, we are so close together but the reality is that money will be appropriated for specific projects, some 4 billion houston, texas, to repair the levees and the dams in houston. Another 2 billion in puerto rico. Money in florida, money in california, a lipid absolutely essential to protect lives and communities all across the nation. Could the president do it . He would have to declare a National Emergency to do so. At least in the army corps of engineers. There is some military Construction Projects that have been the past been reallocated for work in afghanistan and iraq, but once again, all of these are deemed to be the highest priority by local communities by states as well as by military. Martha i understand but in the scheme of things the gap between 5. 7 billion he wanted and the 1. 3, close to 1. 4 billion in this deal could potentially be closed with transfer Authority Funds that are taking from some other project and moved as the money is moved around. Are you saying, John Garamendi that would be a deal breaker for you if that gap was clos close t way . Martha john it is a onetwo punch and the first punch signing the legislation compromised by the committee bue second punch would come later. But i will tell you, there will be a huge outcry in martha because you dont want the border to be secure . John no, not at all. I want people to be protector, protected with Flood Control projects and Disaster Relief money that we have already held the hearings, made the determination is that these projects are essential for the protection of life throughout the united states. Martha congressman reed. Tom the first step needs to be recognized and they shut down, lets move this issue 1. 3 billion we agreed to that seems to be a reasonables proposal like him a grade two but first and foremost lets take care of this. Martha with the republican support for the bill fall apart if the president sticks to his word there . Tom i think there is support on this compromise because many do not we want money for the border and Border Security elsewhere which is also going to be john one thing here is that the process of legislation goes forward, this is not the end of the process. If the president has projects he thinks are critically important, come to the legislature and we will talk about funding those things. If he is quite possible some or maybe all of them would be funded. Martha congress congressman garamendi and congressman reed, comeback, thank you very much, gentleman good to see you tonight. The next guest wrote a piece that the president has other options that are disposable, i should say at disposal that do not involve National Emergency. Mark enterprises and fox news contributor, mark good to have you with us, so what do you unravel in the president s latest tweet and does it speak to what you wrote about today . Mark i hope so, look, it is obvious hes leaning towards agreeing with a deal that would be a good decision because the deal will not get better with a second shut down and if anything it will get worse. And a National Emergency would be a mistake as you just saw at the democratic congressman talking about these projects in his district that would get defined up at the republican congressman and the senators because the products projects being defunded and they need that for their districts and onf that if you declare a National Emergency to circumvent congress to pay for the border wall, what is to stop liberal democrat one day from Climate Change is National Emergency and a green new deal. We dont want to set that precedent. But there is a way the president can get the full 5. 7 billion without a shut down and without National Emergency. And that is by shifting the debate away from the shutdown and towards the sequester. So in december of this year, there is going to be automatic sequester of spending if congress doesnt act. If the president doesnt improve increasing the spending cap. The budget control out said that obama signed in 2011 is going to go into effect. And if trump doesnt agree to lift those spending caps, then there is going to be an automatic 55 billion reduction in domestic spending that democrats consider priority. Therell also be 71 billion cut in defense will not make conservatives happy. But democrats will have to decide. There is no shutdown involved, just automatic reduction in spending. Are we willing to sacrifice 55 million in domestic spending to deny donald trump the measly 5. 7 billion for the border wall . Martha but with the question here, couldnt they all decide if they want to delay again went the sequester kicks in, kick the count can down the road a little bit more they are good at that. Speed to an agreement by the congress to increase budget caps over the sequester, the sequester is the baseline. That is what happens if nobody asked. Two years ago, they lifted the budget caps and added money for defense and out of money for doing spending so that expires in december. No action takes the cuts are automatic. Congress doesnt have to vote and the only way it stops is if they pass something at the president signs it. The democrats you want that 55 billion, you have to give me my border wall. Martha fascinating. Thank you, mark, good to see yo. And so 2020 democratic contender cory booker trying to become animal free diet on the rest of us .

Martha fox news alert for you, tonight and new york we are learning there is a shooting and robbery at a cell phone store. One of those shots, new York City Police detective has been pronounced dead at the scene. 19 year veteran of the forest. Nypd sergeant was seriously wounded, the gunman shot and taken into custody. This killing marks the first for the nypd in line of duty for 2019. Infamous mexican drug lord Joaquin El Chapo guzman now facing life in prison. A jury found him guilty today in a dramatic moment in the courtroom on all ten counts. For his role in one of the most vicious cartel in history. Trace gallagher west coast newsroom with all the details tonight and the back story, high, trace speed to come at el chapo was the biggest because it confirms he was the leader of the drug cartel and he conspired to commit murder. That is the account that mandates life in prison. The jury of four men, eight women announced their decision on day six of deliberations at the courthouse in brooklyn. As the verdict was read, the Court Observers say el chapo wearing a gray suit remained emotionless as did his wife. But prosecutors and Drug Enforcement administration were related. Watch. El chapo was a man behind the curtain. He pulled all the strings. He directed all of the production, the smuggling, the transportation, the distribution of billions upon billions of dollars worth of narcotics into the united states. Tace texas senator ted cruz chimed in on twitter, americas Justice System prevailed to date in convicting Joaquin El Chapo guzman on all ten counts and u. S. Prosecutors seeking 14 billion in drug profits and other assets from el chapo to go towards funding the wall to secure the border. El chapo 12 week trial include 56 witnesses, 14 of whom were his Close Associates of the drug war. But the defense painted them of a group of liars and criminals who would do anything to save their own next. Though today the defense did acknowledge the power of the governments case. Watch. The case was obvious. Anybody who witnessed it could see how utterly and completely overwhelming the amount of evidence was. Obviously come i dont think anybody would doubt that we fought like hell. Tace el chapo extradited to the u. S. In 2017 and in 2015 he escaped through a hole in his prison cell that lead to mild milelong lighted tunnel. He remained on the run for more than six months. In 2001, he escaped from jail in a laundry van and lived in his mountain hideaway for more than a decade. This time away it is likely Joaquin El Chapo guzman will be taken to the super max prison in colorado, the nations most secure facility, martha. Martha what a story, trace, thank you very much. 2020 president ial hopeful cory booker weighing in on the american diet and what he calls the tragic reality of meat and cheese in the united states. Karl rove and Jessica Oconnor coming up next. Its just a cough. Yeah right. And the earth is flat. Ahhh treat your cough seriously with robitussin cf max. Nothing lasts longer and treats more symptoms for your cough, cold and flu. Robitussin. Because its never just a cough. Martha 2020 president ial hopeful cory booker the first democrat to make diet part of his Overall Campaign message and in a new interview with the edge magazine, one of your favorites come i know, you see the planet earth moving towards standard american diet. The tragic reality is the planet simply cant sustained billions of people consuming industrial produced animal agricultural because of the Environmental Impact. Booker does not want to ban meat and cheese but rather raise awareness about being alternatives adding ive seen incredible vegan cheese shops popping up across the country and my friends lovers of cheese cant tell the difference. Joining me lever of cheese karl rove former chief of staff under george w. Bush and fox contributor Jessica Oconnell and former Democratic National ceo and partner at strategies, jessica im not sure how you feel about me and cheese. Jessica i love both of them both so you cant take away my meat and cheese. Martha what do you think about cory booker starting off of this message . Jessica this is not some sort of platform senator booker is going to run on and he was asked about this a particular magazine but divided country on many issues. This is not going to be one of them. It is a Health Decision he makes for his life and we can all appreciate the freedom to do choosing what you want to eat and President Trump eats a lot of hamburgers, george bush martha which bush did not like broccoli. Jessica i eat cereal for ten or allow. Im not making a judgment call about this. Martha [laughter] that is a good admission, you heard it right here. This other quote about eggs because it is interesting. Suddenly eating those eggs for me didnt align with my spirit and i could feel it. I made a decision i was going to become vacant. I remember my last nonvegan meal election day 2014. That is about when you turn vegan too, carl, right . Karl you know, no. I dont like any plant but attacking people who grow eggplant by describing the standard american diet or claiming its industrial produced animal agricultural or very powerful, wealthy, large corporate interests behind the diet as senator booker said in his interview. Look, this is a political agenda. Everybody is entitled to pick their own food, but when you pick your own food, you dont need to go out into my great people that eating habits are different than yours with a shadowy conspiracy behind it. They are literally destroying the planet is what he said in here. And not only that but look, mr. Scientific senator spartacus said, we are clearing land in order for agricultural purposes. He hasnt been looking at the science peerreviewed see that a study was shown surprisingly deforestation and the tropical regions offset by reef or a sting in asia, europe and north america. So we now have more trees today than we had 35 years ago and it keeps Getting Better every year. So hes entitled to own food choices. Just dont lecture me about me eating a steak or eating a potato and having cheese. It doesnt it gets made with milk from a code or somebody else. It is really weird, i thought, very weird. Martha when you sort of look at the big picture, jessica, some of what we have heard on the platforms. You heard about taking away Health Insurance. We have heard about the vegan message that cory booker is putting out there. I think back to Michael Bloomberg in new york city banning sugary drinks and you couldnt drink something bigger than this or that. Trans fats, he also wanted to eliminate. Is this a message, do you think, so far in terms of what the democratic candidates, something to resonate with a wide group of americans across the country . Jessica lou, i can come i dont think senator booker will run on a platform with this, Health Insurance or texting people 70 tax rate, taxing the wealthy. What about all of those messages . Jessica i think democrats and republicans have to come together to build a community that is healthy, nationwide to. I think there are questions about the Environmental Impact on some of these things. There were questions about the real health impacts. We have a diabetes info debt epidemic and the cause behind that but that is something we have to work on. This is not something solved by the leaders on both sides but come together to help make a healthier america. Martha i do want to ask you both different topics karl me i disagree with that . Martha yes, you may, karl. Karl it is not it is about people making decisions on their own lives and coming to a recognition to lead healthier lives. We dont, however, but senator booker pointed to was a state condemning people because of what they eat. And also, i thought very dangerously suggesting that agricultural in america is a bad thing. Feeding the world and people around the world living healthier and longer because of american agricultural, growing things, raising things and selling them abroad. And for some idea of agriculture in america is bad for both the environment and for the planet is ridiculous. Jessica the form of the Food Industry obsolete which will certainly upset a lot of people. Martha ive got to go because we will not get to Governor Cuomo but we will save it for next time. Thank you very much jessica and karl. Still ahead tonight, the details on the racy Text Messages between jeff bezos and his girlfriend Linda Sanchez and how she may have played a role in this private messaging becoming public. Howie kurtz has the scoop, the latest on this tonight from hisu reporting after this. Dont go anywhere. Martha what a story this is, the salacious text message saga between jeff bezos and his girlfriend, lauren sanchez, takes an interesting turn tonight after being widely assumed that sanchezs brother, michael, was the source of the leak to the National Enquirer, my next guest has new reporting that suggest bezos girlfriend had intimate details shared of their relationship with several of her friends. Even had the contents of her computer downloaded onto an assistance computer for safekeeping, so who is to blame . Media buzz host howard kurtz, how we, good to see you tonight, thank you for being here. She shared some of these messages with her friend, and her assistant had access to everything on her computer. Ride, and this is a bit of a game changer, because close to the couple confirms that, they know it to be true, he pretty much knocks down the theory that somebodys phone was hacked to leak the salacious material to the National Enquirer, and it also means high stakes who how they get a hold of this stuff, at a time when bezos is accusing the inquirer of black male, and denying it, we have a different Playing Field because a number of people could have been responsible. Tucker the agreement entered into with the federal government over the whole trump issue, and the two women that were paid off to silence their stories, are they in more trouble because of this development, or last . It depends on exactly how the American Media got a hold of this, no hacking involved, probably it was done lawfully. Extortion has bezos charging a separate issue. The notion that Lauren Sanchezs brother, talent manager, somehow responsible, didnt go out of nowhere, sources at ami and the lawyer for david packer, the inquirer owner, have tried to finger him, but sanchez told me on the record that there are, in fact, multiple suspects and he has not seen the salacious pictures or text, and in fact, any attempt to implicate him is 100 false. Martha the other part of this story swirling around is that he has friends in the trump circle, and that perhaps he was using this story against jeff bezos because President Trump and jeff bezos arent exactly the best of friends, to nail him through the National Enquirer could this get any weirder . Even if it were a movie. Michael sanchez is a trump supporter, he is friendly with both carter page and roger stone, two of the people caught up in the mueller investigation. Of course, pleading not guilty to criminal charges. Sanchez maintains what im told he communicated with both of them for advice on security and to the inquirer leak. That they were somehow involved in the leak, and even come ive seen responding that suggest sanchez tried to set up a meeting in a secure location, even aboard a plane between carter page, jeff bezos himself, and bezos top security guy. That never materialized, but it does show you many subplots there are, as no federal prosecutors are going to have to determine who did what to whom. Martha not to mention the obvious, Text Messages shared with several people, when you are in this kind of situation. Holly, thank you. Not in this digital world. Martha thank you very much, how we pair that is the story on this tuesday night, thank you for being with us. We will see you tomorrow night at 7 00, Tucker Carlson is coming up next.

Five simple words describe it, there was no rush inclusion. There is no evidence whatsoever that the Trump Campaign conspiring in any way with the government of Vladimir Putin during the last president ial election, period. That is apparently the conclusion of the Bipartisan SenateIntelligence Committee. At that committee spent two years investigating this
