Protected status for seven years under the Obama Administration, the leader finally getting answers, joins us live. Welcome to fox news night, im Shannon Bream in washington. New tonight, capping a week which began with the state of the Union Address and about to close with the release of that controversial surveillance memo, President Trump appears to be going on offense against his critics. These new comments coming in just a short while ago speaking at the Rnc Winter Meeting right here in washington. The name is resist, thats all they do is resist. I dont know if theyre good at, they cant be too good at because we are passing a lot of things. Shannon those comments directed at democrats but they white house is poised to further
infuriate its critics with the release of a memo of alleged surveillance. Ed henry joins us that story. Breaking tonight, two sr. Republicans are pushing back at reports that this republican memo will not live up to the hype that there are four separate explo
rating threshold would be for riders who risk getting kicked to the curb. a spokesperson tells cnn it will vary city by city. just remember, do not be michelle kosinski and get banned from uber. i was banned for five minutes. it depends who you talk to over there. one guy bans me, the next person apologizes, so there. thanks for joining us, i m michelle under longstanding department policy, a president cannot be charged with a federal crime while he is in office. if the report speaks for itself, why d you have to do a press conference? mr. mueller will testify. he will be compelled to testify. he will be accountable to the american people. the first things i thought of was war zone. more severe weather from the plains to the east coast. the river is going to increase over the next few days.
well, i think they will maybe get that. that s the same assumption they re going to read the entire report. i don t think everyone was watching this. if i think they were watching it, they won t come away with the same conclusion that attorney general barr reached. it was very pointed, his remarks, in terms of what they found, what their concerns were, but i don t think in the end it will matter nor will it necessarily change the die nam you ca dynamics in congress. only 38 house democrats calling for impeachment, that is less than 20%, and bob mueller seems to forget that people barely read 280 character tweets, let alone 450-page reports. i m not even sure people have read a summary of the mueller report. you shouldn t have to. that s why you have the news media. well, this is 2019. it s just, he may have been the right man for the job but maybe not the right man for the times.
through the perception of their partisan loyalty, so if you believe what barr is saying, i don t think watching that video is going to change it, and this is part of the problem of relying on a report to speak for itself. nothing speaks for itself in 2019. parties speak for how people think. it s very hard to get throug that. that s part of way the 38 number is a little misleading. if the speaker is not being a leader, if she is not leading the conversation, a lot of democrats are naturally going to say we re going to sit on the fence. are there signs that the poll litization is bothering people on both sides though they re not all saying it. bothering is different than taking action. it bothers lots of people. we go through the conversation every election, but after the election, here we are again. you need something pretty bold to move people through that. let s not forget arguably the most important words bob mueller said, multiple systemic efforts
there. he reiterated the points he had already made in the report, and we agree with him. there s no collusion. there was no conspiracy. and we consider this case closed. that sounded an awful lot like this tweet from the president, nothing changes from the mueller report. there was insufficient evidence and therefore in our country, a person is innocent. the case is closed. robert mueller is a man of few words, and he made it clear in his ten-minute statement that he would like to keep it that way. my work speaks for itself. and the report is my testimony, so beyond what i have said here today and what is contained in our written work, i do not believe it is appropriate for me to speak further about the investigation. so that puts house democrats now in a tight spot. phil mattingly on capitol hill with more. reporter: michelle and dave, for democrats who have been clamoring for impeachment, who have been pressuring speaker nancy pelosi to pursue
