but he did not rule it out, because as you know, the special counsel is still, though independent, in the chain of command. the president does certainly have that ability. it s within his right. it just would be political suicide. all right. you re the best, david! stand by. thank you so much. thank you. i do want to bring in we ve got more to discuss with this breaking news that jeff sessions has requested a public hearing with the senate intelligence committee. we have now learned that jeff sessions hold on, let me make sure i pull this up correctly, because it s just coming in, and i want to make sure i get it. we are getting this from the senate intelligence committee now, saying that attorney general jeff sessions will testify at the senate intelligence committee tomorrow. that is news. so, we ve now heard it from jeff sessions says he wanted it to be public, and we are getting this in from the chairman of the senate intelligence committee, that they will have that heari
news. we just learned that attorney general jeff sessions will be testifying before a public, open hearing of the senate intelligence committee tomorrow afternoon. jeff sessions offering up to testify before the senate intelligence committee over the weekend, and the committee confirming just moments ago they will be taking his testimony in a public session tomorrow afternoon. let me bring in right now another republican, republican congressman adam kinsinger of illinois, a member, of course, of the house foreign affairs committee. congressman, thanks for being here. good to be here. you had said you wanted to see jeff sessions testify in a public setting. yeah. what s the big question for him? well, i think we need to talk about the russia meetings, the meetings with the ambassadors. i can tell you, i meet with a lot of ambassadors as a foreign affairs member. sometimes i don t remember who all i ve met with. those are questions that need to be answered. what exactly does he
this context we have to defend the institution of government and we need to know that all avenues of information were explored. let me ask you about the special prosecutor. we are seeing some republican allies of the president come out and start to, forget targeting james comey, targeting bob mueller. newt gingrich is one of them, and i read the tweet earlier, saying the republicans are delusional if they think the special counsel is going to be fair. this, of course newt gingrich actually applauded the appointment of bob mueller earlier, but he thinks it s time to rethink. newt s not the only one. do you think, congressman, there s a problem of conflict of interest because of the long relationship that there is no. between bob mueller and james comey? no. i think this idea that james comey and bob mueller are going to get together and come up with a conspiracy to take down somebody or the president or whoever is, frankly, a bridge way too far. they can know in this
berlin and the world health assembly and i can t tell you how excited folks are about the united states leadership as related to global health security. mr. president, as your seal on your staff, it s an honor to be your steward of our public land and energy. i am committed and optimistic that we can be both great stewards and be the world s largest producer of energy. we can do both. thank you very much. mr. president, thank you for the honor to serve the country. it s a great privilege you ve given me. clearly we are engaged with our allies to ensure that they know where our common interests lie, what our expectations are, that america will continue to be a leader, but they must do more. they must meet their obligations both from a national security standpoint but also for creating conditions of stability, prosperity and for our adversaries we are engaging and
mueller. it s just that government s a small business, so they re going to know each other, but from everything i know about director mueller, this is a guy who wants honest answers, so we re going to get the honest answers. i think to poison the well, whether it s speaker gingrich or anybody else, say it s time to move past a special prosecutor, it s never going to be fair. my whole thing is, after this is said and done, i want everybody to say i may agree or disagree with the conclusion, but everything was thought. he didn t rule out the possibility of the president firing bob mueller. what would you say if that happened? i don t expect that to happen. i actually don t know that the president could fire. i think that shouldn t happen, obviously. let s let this develop itself. let s get some answers here. i think it would be very ill-advised for the president to do it. i actually don t expect that he would. but i think his allies need to quit trying to poison the well, because yea
