Case. And the chinese lady at maralago, it started as a joke, but now our intel folks, theyre not laughing. We have their reasons for concern. My friends, it is never boring. Tonight it matters. So lets get after it. So heres the big story, the New York Times reports some members of team mueller believe the attorney general failed to adequately characterize the findings of their inquiry that the stuff in the report is worse for this president than as summarized and the timing could not be better for the democrats. Theyre ready to send a subpoena for the full Mueller Report, and now the house ways and Means Committee, only one with this power, they can call for the president s taxes, they can call for anybodys taxes. Theyre asking for personal and professional taxes from the president from 2013 to 2018. Along with, like, eight of his business entities. So this is going to be a legal fight. It will certainly be a political fight. A general question is, is this about generating heat or li
Russia probe. Something that President Trump is very keen on. Youre not suggesting that spying occurred . I dont well, i guess you could i think that spying did occur, yes. Yes, i think spying did occur. Well, let me but the question is whether it was predicated, adequately predicated. And im not suggesting that it wasnt adequately predicated. But i need to explore that. And i want to make clear this is not launching an investigation of the fbi. Frankly, im to the extent that there were any issues at the fbi, i do not view it as a problem that is endemic to the fbi. I think that there was probably a failure among a group of leaders. Lets start with Geoff Bennett just outside that hearing room on capitol hill. And peter alex ander lexander a white house. And geoff, two big headlines appear to be that the new investigation, the attorney general is leading, also more detail about what is getting redacted. What have we learned . Reporter right, craig. When you heard the attorney general ta

Question of obstruction. Barr just revealed that mueller did not indicate that he wanted congress to make that decision on obstruction of justice. He also said that mueller did not specifically ask the attorney general to make that decision. He said thats generally how it works, the Justice Department makes that decision about charges with obstruction of justice. Now theres been lots of questions about the redactions. Hes making it clear that he plans to hand over a redacted version of this report but has not discussed overruled redactions with the mueller team and has not discussed redactions with the white house. Little more information than yesterday but still democrats want to see that full report. No indication thats going to happen. Kate . Manu, thank you very much. Joining me right now and well add other players to this, but let me bring in evan perez. This was some of your reporting this morning, about how bill barr was assembling a team to look into origins of the russia inves
Department budget. But like yesterdays hearing with house lawmakers, the conversation is expected to turn to the Mueller Report. It is extraordinary to make definitive legal conclusions in less than 48 hours. The thinking of the special counsel was not a mystery to the people at the department of justice. Would strike a serious blow to our system and yes to our democracy. That report is not fully seen. Within a week i will be in a position to release the report to the public. Will we have the complete report . The unredacted report . No. The first pass at this is going to produce a report that makes these redactions. Sandra those were the big headlines from yesterday. Catherine herridge joins us live. What should we expect from todays hearing . Sandra, good morning. The thing to watch is whether we get more information about the ongoing investigations and reviews looking at the genesis of the f. B. I. s russia probe. Weve been reporting at fox news for weeks if not months there is a pa
