One area that will remain outside of sean spicers jurisdiction, the russia investigation, that will remain the purview of the president outside counsel. Meeting with panama president today, President Trump ignored shouted questions about the russia investigation, but the public face of president s legal team sekulow was saying plenty, appearing on 4 sunday shows, two morning programs today to declare the president is not under investigation, and he did nothing wrong in fires james comey. There is a recommendation for removal of comey, he had been thinking about that, he then takes action they recommend to remove james comey. And now according to the Washington Post theory, he is under investigation for taking the action that department of justice told him to take. This whole thing, if you look at it, there is nothing to investigate. Reporter Washington Post last week reported that president was being investigated for possible obstruction of justice by special counsel mueller. News later said that mueller had not decided whether too investigate him or not yet. You dont know that he is not, under investigation now, do you . No one has notified us he is, i cant read peoples minds. We have not been notified there is an investigation of president of united states, that nothing has changed in that regard. Reporter president seemed to take a critical shot last week at Deputy Attorney general rosenstein in a tweet, spicer today said that president has full confidence in rosenstein, kushner may be shopping for a new attorney to representative in the curb cur russia investigation, his current attorney worked with mueller at hale.

Critics take aim at special counsel robert mueller, also for stacking his legal team with leftest attorneys. Fox news correspondent doug mcelway with our report. Reporter President Trumps legal team and his defenders take an aggressive stance, now that mueller announced hiring of 12 attorneys,. First 4 names are people, to democrats, this this environment, 97 of donation went to hillary. Reality is that members of congress on both sides of the aisle fine mr. Mueller to be a man of integrity. Campaign, Andrew Weisman, donated 6 times to president obamas Political Action committee james square els, donated over 10 times to democratic paks over last 30 years, president ial candidates michael due cacous, al gore, john kerry and Hillary Clinton. And donated to republicans. Including chaffetz and george allen. The special counsel potential limitless spending paid out of doj budget. And throw into the mix a prosecutors power, writing the actual decision to charge a person with crime is almost completely unrestrained. Most special prosecutors involved in this type of litigation would have avoided people with political tie or contributions, when you are investigating president of united states, you should be trying to avoid any questions of political bias or influence. Special Counsel Office defends the hires, noting that Department Policy and federal law prohibits appreciate count from taking into consideration any political on its hiring. While a second hire, Andrew Weisman has a reputation for aggressively turning witnesses. Thank you. Glld comin. Were coming back with more. Stay with us. Some republican lawmakers are occurring their august recess to make progress on President Trumps agenda. President is forging ahead. He is in close contact with leader mcconnell on the health care reform. They got part one through the house. We take up chances of seeing progress. Terror striking london again. This time, a man driving a van plowed into a group of muslims outside of a mosque, that story and more stay with us. [vo] when it comes to investing, looking from a fresh perspective can make all the difference. It can provide what we call an unlock a realization that often reveals a better path forward. At wells fargo, its our expertise in finding this kind of insight that has lead us to become one of the largest in very old habits of using toothpaste people are stuck to clean a denture. But dentures are very different to real teeth. Theyre about 10x softer and may have surface pores where bacteria can grow and multiply. Polident is specifically designed to clean dentures daily. Its unique microclean formula kills 99. 99 of odor causing bacteria and helps dissolve stains. Cleaning in a better way than brushing with toothpaste. Thats why dentists recommend polident. Polident. Cleaner, fresher, brighter every day. Trish doctors treating wounded congressman Steve Scalise say his condition has improved. He has continued to show signs of improvement, ho more responsive. A lot of capitol Hill Development today. To a justicer deput department probe that could now be zeroing in on Loretta Lynch. Joining me now ed rollins, and michael goodwin. Fox news contributors, i want to start with the Loretta Lynch issues. A lot of republicans saying, we did note lik did not like what we heard with what james comey said. Saying that Hillary Clinton investigation was a matter. There were a lot of questions as to why she was meeting with bill clinton in the plane. I promise you, she was watching it more closely than this investigation, a top notch political activist, and attorney general. She knew what was going on. Higmy sense, she did not want it to go on. She did not i think it needs to run itsourse. Trish michael, is it fair to probe this . Given all of the questions that have been raised about donald trump . Comey in his testimony has now mentioned this twice, that there were credibility issues with the justice department. The tarmac meeting, that she wanted him to call it a matter not an investigation. A lighter heart moment when he said our name is federal bureau of investigation, not federal bureau of matter. There are other thin thinged things, those certainly could be important. And worth probing, it is not going to distraction from Donald Trump Administration as far as democrats are concerned. Trish perhaps, it shows how much of a political po little bit operative she was. There are a lot of people in government right now with their allegiances tied to president obama. Not to President Trump. How is that going to be playing out. Looking at for example muellers team that is being assembled. You see there are a number of attorneys there who donated to the democrat, including Hillary Clintons campaign. I promise you, eric holder was kind of attorney general you want. You dont want someone neutral. He was as political as anyone i had seen running that department. I served on panel reaganner a era. Usually it was you made contributions and you had an impeccable record as a lawyer. I am sure everyone in that justice department, 10,000 lawyers with a career path, they gave money they did not give money to trump. I think that reality is, you have to lock beyond the contribution, what are they like . Are they good, fair justices . Or are they going to be political hacks . Trish seems as though a lot of people have become michael political hacks, in that you look at media now, and there is a bias against this president , unlike anything we have seen. Right. Trish they feel justified in having that bias. The question, is does this continue through muellers investigative timor lawyer team, or lawyers that are looking for something. Part of having a probe is you are looking to find something, if you couple that with a bias against the president , and perhaps a biased toward democratic politics, are you running into risks at some point they are bound to find something. I think that leaks coming out of muellers shop already are all going to antitrump media, new york times, Washington Post, a daily drum beat of exclusives, from anonymous sources, connected with the probe. As you say most of these will be obama people. Obama related in one form in the permanent government or in the just leaving the government. So i think that president really does have a issue. I have recommended that he find a new attorney general. I think tt fact that rose rosenstein appointed mueller because of sessions recused himself. , president needs an attorney general who is looking av his interests and making sure this investigation does not go on forever, does not become a fishing expedition, we need adult supervision in justice department. Trish quickly. Lawmakers talk about sticking around. This summer not taking their august recess because they need to get repeal and replace done. I would love to see that, i will bet your salary and high salary, which is minimal compared to yours, that it not going to happen. Trish i dont think it going to happen, i am disappointed. It will be that much hadder. Harder. They should stay, they will take a long 4th of july, go off in august, in very short time frame. Not many legislative days leftz. If they take that day they are not get as much done. Trish all right, ed rollins and michael goodwin. Thank you.

The armed driver was known to authorities and considered a threat. Here is discuss whether europe is losing the fight against radical islamic terror and the latebreaking news on otto warmbier, is Lieutenant Colonel tony shafer, senior fellow with London Center for policy research. Thank you. Trish lets start with otto warmbier, 22yearold american student who was there in north korea. What do you think happened . They sent him home, this poor kid, he died. They toretured him to death. My son is 23 years old, i feel terrible for the parents of this kid. He was essentially repeatedly, subjected to sodium pent a truth serum, if you use it constantly they burn his brain out. Trish why did they send him back . I think President Trump did put a lot of pressure on them, he did look at this when he came in office in january, 150 days in this is the result. And i think that north korea recognize they had done such grave damage to this kid, there was no going back. I will say this to be clear, i think we should retaliate. Trish what do you mine . Mean. In cold war, we had a number of organization that did dirty tricks, kim jongun should not believe we will not seek vengeance, righteous vengeance for these things, he we need to start looking at how we can do this . Colonel, we play by the rules. We do. Trish nobody else does, we have very you know, very prescribed things, you cant go out and knockoff a dictator via an assassination attempt, yet that dictator is doing really bad things to their people is allowed to exist, we bomb places, and people are hurt as casualties, you just want to get the bad guy. This is where we need to look at our policies again, during cold war, you should be as severe as your enemy, the enemy does not understand being nice. Until you get serious about intimidating and affecting that enemy in a personal way, you will continue to see things like this happen. Trish you think about this poor kid who was captured at the time when president obama was there and he did not do a lot, with this passive attitude. Leads from behind, absolutely. Trish talking about europe. Speaking of leading from behind. Trish every week we hear about new attacks. How are they going to get a handle on this . Look, what this tells me today, is that they have still not gotten a memo that isis has overlapping and redundant neork this person today was armed attacking french, ain. How many times do you have to be attacked before you need to figure out, you have a network of operatives working across borders . Guns are very difficult to come by, yetz h yet he was arm snood a lot oed. Trish a lot of people in france, saying it our fault, we are not being nice enough, we need to do more to make us one. I would not ingrea integrate a rattlesnake into my household, that rattlesnake will bite you when they get the chance. I did a opinion on bringing nato into this, they are effective, they need to focus on counter terror, and you have to get serious about defeating the networks, being nice does not get you anything, at a certain point in time, in century surrenders you embrace that enemy like we go in world war ii. Were not there yet with radical islam, bu but we have people in islam who are willing to help us get to that point. Trish we have to be realist. Thank you. Trish all right were coming right back with much more stay with us. Republicans are demanding answers from attorney general Loretta Lynch. Not bring in attorney general rally and the former president , under oath get each to describe when they were discussing.
