It's Tuesday May 7th 2019 coming up on American Morning a standoff between Congress and the White House appear to be multiplying and this lawless White House no one seems to follow the rules anymore I'm Linda Kenyon in Washington numbering almost as many signatures as a model report has pages former federal prosecutors say President Trump would've been charged with obstruction of justice if you were not president about Constantini in Washington more bad news for Southwest Airlines a couple of boarded deadly flight suing I'm Clayton level why is the world's biggest retailer now going to the dogs I'm Tom Busby I'm Scott car over Am lift drivers are planning strikes this week over work conditions and pay rates I just go ahead with board private and public but later on for the 127th day of the year it's all ahead on America in the morning. 7 minutes after the hour the push and pull continues between the House Judiciary Committee and Attorney General Barr over the un redacted Moller Report correspondent Linda Kenyon takes a look at what happens next now the committee is turning up the heat on the guitar in a general scheduling a markup in a vote on a contempt of Congress citation against William Barr is after he twice missed a deadline to hand over the full Moller report plus the underlying evidence and he failed to show for committee hearing the Justice Department might try to head off that citation agreeing to a meeting with the committee staff today before there's disagreement developed William Barres said he had no problem the special counsel Robert Mueller himself decided to testify President Trump said the same thing that he said he would leave it up to the attorney general then he reversed himself completely and said Muller should not testify Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins disagrees I think of what gives the opportunity for the public to get additional views and clarification spell Judiciary Committee has been clamoring for those clarification. After taking issue with the attorney general's memo summarizing what he said were the principal findings of the Miller report Representative David Cicilline he says Barr gave a biased summary and he lied to Congress and that's why he wants to hear from Mahler himself we hope very much that Mr. Agreed to testify and come on the 15th Meanwhile the House Ways and Means Committee wants the attorney general to come clean about whether he pressure treasury secretary Steve maneuver to fight a subpoena for president Trump's tax returns it appears that Attorney General Barr was involved Representative Eric Swalwell who's seeking the Democratic presidential nomination says he's lost all trust in the attorney general we should move immediately to impeach the attorney general the treasury secretary tells Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal that the committee's request lacks a legitimate legislative purpose that move sets in motion a legal battle over the tax returns which chairman Neil sought under a law that says the i.r.s. Shall furnish the returns of any taxpayer to the tax writing Ways and Means Committee Republican Adam Kinzinger says there's no reason for Democrats to subpoena the president's tax returns except one to go through it and to try to further embarrass and President Trump has long said he would not release his tax returns because he was under audit Ways and Means says it wants to examine if the i.r.s. Is properly auditing presidential tax returns for legislative purposes Kinzinger isn't buying it it's not based on something specific it just might be specific enough to lead to lengthy court challenges that might make it all the way to the nation's highest court Linda Kenyon Washington America in the morning continues at 10 after the hour in that Moller investigation President Trump maintains no obstruction no collusion but several hundreds of former federal prosecutors have signed on to a document that disputes that summary Bob Constantini is our chief White House correspondent upwards of $400.00 former federal prosecutors issued a joint statement Each of us believes that the conduct of President Trump described in Special Counsel Robert report would be in the case of any other person not covered by the.

We have that conversation. It will be. Warned that u.s. Military intervention in Venezuela would be catastrophic in unjustified he said no country anywhere in the world is calling for military intervention right now that it would be a mistake and that. Only the un can authorize such action Lavrov told reporters his meeting had been constructive the day before he met with Nicolas Maduro as foreign minister Jorge out of Jasa who had a message for the United States to open it but I hope it won't get us and he said they're ready for any scenario but diplomacy dialogue and peace 1st got to be as I said they are ready to resist fight and conquer he said they don't want to see this scenario unfold but history shows that the United States is inclined to intervene militarily in Latin America and they're ready for that when asked about opposition leader won by doe he said that the leader of Venezuela's national assembly exceeded his authority and their legal authorities continue to conduct an investigation into whether Why do should be arrested I'm Steve cast and down it's 20 till now Jimbo Hannan takes a closer look at what's going on with the u.s. And Iran and other international hot spots with the Middle East flaring into the news again we thought we'd talk about it a bit with Ivan Eland senior fellow at the Independent Institute and author of the new book War of the road presidency from the Independent Institute studies Press 1st let's turn to Iran the United States sending the carrier group headed by the Abraham Lincoln and to a bomber group on what they call the credible evidence that the Iranians were thinking of attacking u.s. Forces in that region either directly or through one of their proxies your thoughts about this move well but Pentagon it's been very out you'd outruns declaration that they were on the nuclear guards or a terrorist organization because they thought they might possibly retaliate against our forces in the in the region in Iraq in Syria chatter and so Israel has provided intelligence that they're doing that of course is you're all sort of has a stake in the action because but they are a terrorist group they're proudly a terror. Group they're defiantly a terrorist group of pain I'm sure they would stand up and applaud it being called a terrorist group well they didn't and that the in fact the Iranian government for a while they were going to consider the us military a terrorist organization and they were private eye and privately they they certainly would it would acknowledge that very fact it's what they do well they would say they're sponsoring groups that cluster their interests in various countries but the who these in Yemen Shiite militias in Iraq etc But then again that those aren't our interests so again what their interests are are not of great concern to me and making national policy let me ask you about Gaza and of what is now if as we speak a tentative cease fire between Israel and the Hamas forces in Gaza after they launched some 700 missiles into Israel over the weekend missiles which were almost certainly made by Iran and sold to Hamas passing through unquestionably Egypt either it was the eve of that overthrew the Israeli naval blockade of the Mediterranean or through Israeli territory both highly unlikely so the nation that brokered the cease fire Egypt is probably the source of the missiles do you think the cease fire will hold Well I think this has been a sporadic diffused there's been sporadic cease fires that may break down after a while but the 2 parties I think don't really want to have a war are so I think some sort of a cease fire or or reduction in hostilities will probably occur now this was more severe fighting that we've seen since 2014 so I don't want to say it wasn't serious because the amount of there was about 700 rockets that landed in Israel and then Israel did air strikes and prepare they are preparing for a ground and days you lied now the cease fires are now in. Her deck that. Both sides will probably pull back from the grain in terms of where you think our foreign policy attention should be most focused I gather you would subordinate the Middle East where would you put a higher focus well Europe in East Asia where the economy is higher and the technology is higher those are the real threats of a foreign power takes over those countries that's why we fought World War 2 because there were 2 sets of well there was Japan and East Asia and there was Germany and Europe that were trying to take over those regions and so and that was the reason that we were so concerned about the Soviet Union during the Cold War the Middle East frankly up until Carter in 1979 or well actually 1900 the Carter Doctrine but because Britain had always taken care of that by Carter went back in there Reagan continued and we were off to the races but I think the Middle East we now depend less on oil Israel is the most powerful country in the region and and certainly their security situation a lot better than it was in the 1970 s.
