Night, as laura continues her vacation. Im turning it over to my favorite person at fox, Shannon Bream she starts now. Shannon . Shannon jason, well see you tomorrow night. Thank you so much. We begin with the fox news alert. Breaking tonight, the president s attorney sounding off in robert mueller, also, standing by, white House Counsel Donald Mcgahn after this weeks report saying that mcgahn has cooperated extensively with a Special Counsel investigation. And scorned former cia director john brennan mulls a lawsuit over his Security Clearance getting revoked on the president says, bring it on. Also tonight come President Trump honors Immigration Enforcement officials of the white house, calling out democratic leadership as open border extremists. Senator david purdue was asked at that event and he joins us to talk about the abolishment i. C. E. Movement and whether the senate really well work all the way through the august recess. We all speak exclusively to a former miss america as
A recap of the days headlines and a look at whats in store for tomorrow. Executive order, the National Security exception in the Executive Order was invoked, we never had a situation where a president did it on his own, no process, no outline of what the concerns work and he just unilaterally revoked it. We dont know how the court would view this. The president suggesting we get discovery and go back through your emails and find out how much you are paid to get on different shows and other things. Is that enough to scare john brennan away from this . I dont think so. When he shows up is fairly political. If he has merit to his claim or argument to the story, there are reasons for both sides, some say the president wants to continue if it benefits them, brennan says it benefits them because as you could see, playing the role of martyr, it is unclear how this plays out because both seem to think continuing this conversation makes sense for both of them. Shannon we have this report that d
Now, turning attention to the ron johnson letter if i may. Yes. On august 31st, Senator Johnson is getting ready to travel to ukraine on September 5th with senator murphy. And he wanted johnson wanted the aid released, he calls the president , he actually sought permission to be the bearer of good news. Right. The president said, im not ready to lift the aid. And they had this Senator Johnson. He writes a ten page letter, very detailed. And he gives some remarkable deta detail. And id like to read it, its on page 6. I add this is Senator Johnson speaking, i asked him whether there was some kind of arrangement where ukraine would take some action and the hold would be lifted. Without hesitation Senator Johnson says, President Trump immediately denied such an arrangement existed. And he started cursing. And he said no way, President Trump said no way, i would never do that. Who told you that . And Senator Johnson goes on to say that President Trumps reaction here was adamant, vehement an
they may have worked in the obama administration and other places. people are really trying to assess what is left going to be life if trump wins a second term. on a very personal level, you deserve torturous discussions with their family members about whether or not they have to leave the country. so they may avoid being unconstitutionally or illegally detained. donald trump wants to put them all in jail. he is unbelievable when he talks about his opponents, donald trump could roll the score on congress and the supreme court and he wants to own every one and all because he is the dictator. kayleigh: firing squad? i remember them pulling these mischaracterizations, but they don t have the focal and they do not care about the full quote. ian: they don t care about the full quote, and these people look like they are hallucinating, this physical manifestation trump brings up
subcommittees can talk about the weaponization of the federal government until they re blue in the face. without any evidence, it s meaningless. my worry is you say it enough then it then becomes meaningless even when you do have evidence, as you do in this instance with donald trump and lisa page, and peter strzok. does that concern you with all, that the gaslighting might be effective in the end? unfortunately, i think it is affecting the attitudes and sentiments of many americans. watching the testimony today by chris wray, and those questions that were being lobbed at him from the republicans. it was clear that they had several objectives. one was to put out these mischaracterizations, distortions, these lies in order for them to be replayed on the various right-wing networks, as well as for their own reelection purposes. secondly, i think that they re trying to discredit the investigations underway to really look into what donald trump did while he was in office, and then also a
