That is more important than who is the leaker coming my identify somebody, if they have violated the law, we will prosecute them. Including white house officials and members of congress . Anybody who breaks the law. Sandra after Jeff Sessions addressing a major crackdown, the leak investigations have tripled since President Trump took office, and the outrage not limited to key members of the administration. To top officials in the Obama Administration as well say that this has to stop. The leaks were now are really bad. Ive never seen it this bad. There should be a concerted effort to identify and go after leakers. I think they are dangerous when it involves classified information. And you can refer to the fbi, you can revert to the Justice Department. Obviously where it involves classified information, it ought to be investigated. But the key to preventing leaks is to
That i think his inclinations are actually better than many of his advisors. That the iraq war was a mistake, that we have to come home from afghanistan. He was against being involved in syria and many times during his career. My main concern is that will you be one who will listen to what the president actually wants instead of being someone who advocates for someone in afghanistan . Another iraq war . This is the advice you would give and thats my biggest concern with your nomination. I dont think it reflects the millions of voters who voted for trump, who voted for him because they thought it would be different, that it would not be the traditional bipartisan consensus to bomb everywhere around the world. Thats my main concern. I want to make sure that is loud and clear to everyone. Thank you, senator murphy. Think you chairman and director. Good to see you.

You cant do this to Political Campaigns. Harris meanwhile, democrats are also blasting the president s latest salvo. Senator Dianne Feinstein tweeting, the president s statement indicates he will order the Justice Department investigate the f. B. I. Could not be more disturbing and reiterates the deep contempt for the rule of law. Catherine herridge has more. Under investigation himself, the president called on the Justice Department to probe whether an f. B. I. Used probe to be part of the campaign. He is going to ask the department of justice to infiltrate the campaign. The Justice Department wasted little time to announce internal investigation of the president ial investigation. And it will look into whether there was a inpropriety or political information and where they used informants to collect intelligence. In a st
Rosenstein has denied the report. Democrats are stepping up warnings to President Trump not to fire rosenstein. Senator Patrick Leahy say saturday night massacres dont have to happen on a saturday. If the president fires rosenstein, he will come a leap closer to meddling in the russian investigation. Catherine herridge is live in washington with more. This all shifted from the press secretary about why rosenstein is at the white house today. We just received a statement from sarah sanders, and it now confirms several facts and also a timeline for developments with the rosenstein case. It reads at the request of Rod Rosenstein, he and President Trump had an extended conversation to discussion the recent news stories because the president is at the United Nations General Assembly and has a full schedule with leaders from around the world. They will meet thursday when the president returns to washington d. C. Before that statement was issued by the white house, we had reaction from the ra
For the Southern District of new york, also a fox news contributor. You and i downstairs on the outnumbered couch watching, we had a 22nd dip in when we were voting on whether or not they could were doing a roll call on whether not they could ask the acting ag a question about bias. This has been as spirited as anybody would ever think it would be. Why is that . Because its not really an oversight hearing. The ability for the congress to have oversight of the department of justice is the pretext for having a hearing that is designed number one to bring to people attention the fact that President Trump wanted to bring somebody else in to at least nominally run the investigation besides Rod Rosenstein. Harris after Jeff Sessions departed. The second thing is he never got a confirmation hearing. Harris something that democrats were mad about. They are making sure he gets mind today.
