the southern district of new york are aware that we are taking these steps. we will act quickly to gather this information, assess the evidence, and follow the facts where they lead with full transparency with the american people. a short time ago at the white house the president reacted. we don t have that sound, but he said in his own way, no collusion. he said this was a beautiful thing. as we continue, the democrat-lighthouse investigation is very broad, harris, touching on allegations of public corruption, abuse of power, and obstruction of justice over the firing of fbi director called me. now in the minority, house republicans are refocusing their attention on the trump dossier and its author, christopher steele, after a florida judge ruled his deposition in the buzzfeed defamation suit cannot be unsealed. funded by the dnc and clinton campaign, the records are expected to show how the dossier was seeded with journalists and u.s. government officials to
unfortunately, without knowing what information the may not have, with respect to ivanka trump, she is not as far as i know even in the government. so both democrats and republicans have to be very careful and very responsible about calling anybody from the president s family to investigate them or to speak to them. harris: a federal judge has granted a motion to unsealed documents in a defamation case against buzzfeed over its publication of the so-called trump dossier. those documents included a deposition given by that british spy, christopher steele, who was hired by fusion gps to compile opposition research on that than i have a candidate donald j. trump in he can stilll that decision. what do you think of it? you just laid out the case, harris pretty elated up better than i could have. the bottom line is this where that were came from is
the president to lie to congress about a 2016 moscow trump tower real estate project. cohen testified that the decision to lie was on him. i lied to congress for mr. mr. trump to stop negotiating in russia. he did not directly tell me to lead to congress. that is not how he operates. cohen s testimony also undercut a central allegation in the trump dossier. the trump dossier was the opposition research that was funded by the dnc and the clinton campaign, and it was really a foundational piece to the fbi s counterintelligence investigation when it opened in july of 2016. michael cohen testified that he never traveled to eastern europe in 2015. have you ever been to prague? i have never been to prague. never have? i ve never been to the czech republic. you testified today that you never been to prague where the czech republic.

the documents, including the cofounder of future gps and the senior justice department official. it s over the timing and the handling of the opposition research that we now know as the trump dossier, harris. harris: catherine herridge, thank you. we are waiting i don t know if we could take a quick picture of this. that s the lecture where the president is inspected to step up. first remarks since the state of the union. the president is due to name his choice to head the world bank. and he will speak before the global coalition to defeat isis later today. all of it, as it happens, live right here on fox. minimums and fees. they seem to be the very foundation of your typical bank. capital one is anything but typical. that s why we designed capital one cafes. you can get savings and checking accounts with no fees or minimums. and one of america s best savings rates. to top it off, you can open one from anywhere in 5 minutes. this isn t a typical bank.
