administration, they were treated completely differently than this administration has been treated so far. at least in my opinion. that s certainly true and maybe there is less feuding or they weren t as leaky as this administration. you showed the image of spicer holding that briefing tuesday. yesterday he had an off-camera briefing. they put out the audio. they re trying to have a lower profile for these briefings. sean spicer for the first times that i will be answering these questions, i ll refer you to the president s private lawyer. this is part of a strategy. the clinton administration did this as well during his time of scandal and impeachment to take the focus off of the press secretary being battered with these questions, push him out to a private lawyer who may or may not have a lot to say to the media. heather: i had our brain room pull up this list that s
respond to those challenges. this is a challenge for us. putin does think that missile defense is an act of aggression against russia. he thinks the u.s. would continue to build u.s. defense systems simply under another pretext. heather: thank you. jon: james comey is ready to clearly heir with congress on claims that the president pushed him to drop a probe of michael flynn. gregg jarrett joins us next with a look ahead to comey s upcoming testimony. first, here s marie hart. we want people to be cooperative here, i also want the trump team to be cooperative
fox news media analyst and host of media buzz here on the fox news channel. he joins us to talk a little bit more about this. why is the mainstream media so obsessed with these shakeup stories? very good question. it s a miracle that sean spicer walked out yesterday because at the least, the press kept telling us he wasn t going to do the briefings anymore. as recently as yesterday, msnbc and others were saying reince priebus could be replacing him. stephen bannon was supposed to be toast, he still part of the end and circle. these stories are fun, they re gossipy, they re juicy, and there a lot easier for the media than dissecting the intricacies of climate change. heather: here s what kellyanne conway had to say and this is what she had to say about it. i went back and look at some of my notes. the very first time i was ever asked about somebody being pushed out of the white house
report it? absolutely. in fact, under the law, comey is required to a meal he informed his superiors at the department of justice. failure to do so is a crime in itself. he was asked if he notified anybody at doj, we don t know the answer but there is been reporting that he did do so. he suggests that the president s language may have been troubling, but i didn t rise to the level of absorption of justice. heather: gregg jarrett, thank you very much for breaking it down for us. jon: a gun club susan katie couric claiming her documentary used dishonest editing. you don t let anything
heather: welcome back. james comey set to testify again before a senate panel as early as next week. he is expected to tell lawmakers that the president asked him to back off the investigation into michael flynn and his ties to russia. the trump administration denies that claim and says that the real story is the unmasking of flynn s name. marie harve says there is much more to it. here s what she had to say earlier on america s newsroom. it is true that consumers of intelligence sometimes do have a reason to have names unmasked. the congressman is absolutely right and that every five years or so, we have a debate about intelligence and particularly looking at american citizens and that s a debate he was part of in congress and i m confident we will have again. is not limited to the obama administration. we want people to be cooperative here, i also want the trump people to be cooperative here at the reports in the last few days at his lawyer won t cooperate with subpoenas, that
