A recap of the days headlines and a look at whats in store for tomorrow. A recap of the days headlines and a look at whats in store for tomorrow. Today there are no allegations that a Key Justice Department official continued to communicate and trade information with dossier author Christopher Steele long after the fbi had Cut Steele Loose for linking to the media. Also breaking the possibility that House Judiciary chairman Bob Goodlatte is preparing to subpoena bruce ohr, Christopher Steele, and a number of other current and former fbi and doj officials. Congressman trey gowdy, chairman of the House OversightCommittee Investigating these issues joins us. Welcome. Thank you. Shannon i want to talk to some of the new text. These are being reported between doj official bruce ohr and Christopher Steele. Steele asked ohr if he could continue to help Feed Information to the fbi just want to check if are okay. Still unable to help locally . 2016. I am still here and able to
help as discussed. Ohr texted i will let you know if that changes. Steele replied if you end up out, i knew no contact point. We cant allow our guy to be forced to go back home. It would be disastrous. Mr. Chairman, are these texts new to you . Can you elucidate . They are not new to me. I am also on the house intelligence committee. I may have been the first member of congress who read these messages, and that wouldve been in the fall of 2017. They were troubling then. They are troubling now, which is why chairman goodlatte and i so much want to talk to bruce ohr. I think house intel wants to talk to bruce ohr but that investigation got wound down and transferred to chairman goodlatte and myself. Think about chris steele, who has been dismissed from the fbi because he cannot follow their rules and regulations and is communicating with someone in the department of justice who is not involved in this
investigation. He is a narcotics prosecutor. Of course we want to talk to bruce ohr, and we also want to talk to nelly or, Who By The Way was working for fusion gps which is the firm that hired Christopher Steele to dig up dirt on donald trump. Shannon my understanding is the list of names im seeing tonight are bruce ohr, nelly or, fusion gps, founder glenn simpson, other fbi doj officials current and former. Will they be subpoenaed . Why do you hope to hear from them . There are two categories. Those who work for government now, we shouldnt have to subpoena them. We should do about that i did weeks ago which is on the list of the department of justice. These are your employees that we want to talk to. So far, that has fallen on deaf ears. Chairman goodlatte is a very patient man, but we have around out of patience. I talked to them yesterday at length. They either need to set this for a date or there will be a subpoena issued. The speaker will back it up. Goodlatte will back it up. The house will back it up. Theres no reason to not make them available for a deposition or transcribed interview. Shannon folks would like to know about what it means. Are you still able to help us when steele is talking to ohr. I want to get the other questions involving the mueller investigation. There is agreeing to conditions for the president to sit down. Everyone in the legal world is tell him not to. Terry lipman, wellknown constitutional lawyer said enough is enough. Its time to subpoena the president. Mueller has been asked ordinarily differential and patient while trump and his ribs and is engaged in their scarcely credible gamesmanship. Its become increasingly apparent that neither trump nor anyone in his orbit has any interest in answering muellers questions. In a word, they are playing mueller and in the process playing the country. First, do you think they will subpoena the president and if you get to the supreme court,
how does it go . If they subpoena the president , there will be a motion to quash, and our grandkids may be having this conversation. It will take a while to litigate it. The reason im smiling is i was on the committee that sent some questions in writing to president obama. They were really important questions to the Family Members of for people who were killed. I am not even sure he even open the envelope. Where this newfound outrages that president s wont answer legitimate inquiries from that branch or another branch, im on record as saying President Trump can get much better Legal Counsel than what i can provide him. Its been a while since ive had my Miranda Warnings read to me but im fairly familiar with them and i think you can stop answering questions whenever you want to. But i would tell the president , sit down and answer the questions about what if anything you know about what russia did in 2016. And then answer the questions about who if anyone did it with them. Thats the core jurisdiction of bob mueller. Answer those and then dont answer anymore. You dont have to answer a question simply because its fast. I think the optics of not answering the collusion and conspiracy coordination questions arent great. If hes open to free legal advice, which is usually worth what you pay for, but i will try to anyway. Answer the questions related to the two core pillars of, wanted russia do . Do you know anything about it . With whom if anyone did they do it . I think the president has had reviews he knew nothing about it in fact people call me if anyone on my team did it come i want to find out. Tells me he didnt know anything about it. Answer the question then dont answer the rest. Shannon i wont ask you to answer when you were Last Moran Ties to. We will get to that. We will talk about that another time. In the meantime, thank you very much. We will dig into it separately. Great to have with us tonight. Yes, maam. Thank you. Shannon new to veltmans and the ohio state wrestling allegations against aspiring House Speaker congressman jim jordan. We are also monitoring some Breaking News from the Nfl Preseason football games. Trace gallagher covering both cases. Good evening. The wrestling, former wrestler and wrestling coach at ohio state who coached with and is a longtime friend of jim jordan. Colemans comments about what congressman jordan did or didnt know about the ohio state Sex Abuse Case carry a great deal of weight, and now mark coleman says and im quoting at no time did i ever say or have any direct knowledge that jim jordan knew of dr. Richard strauss inappropriate behavior. Ive nothing but respect for jim jordan. Ive known him for more than 30 years and know him to be of impeccable character. In july, coleman was courted by the Wall Street Journal saying snow away unless hes got
dementia or something that hed gotten the recollection of what was going on ohio state. Ive nothing but respect for this man. I love this man, but he knew, as far as im concerned. Other former wrestlers of oslo peace jordan of knowing about the abuse but not reporting it, including mike, leading the charge against jordan. Now mark coleman is at odds with mike, quoting i am distancing myself from mike as he is not my manager and does not speak for me. Dr. Strauss is accused of sexually abusing Student Athletes and 14 sports at ohio state. Over 21 years. Strauss himself killed himself in 2005. There has been no comment tonight from congressman jim jordan. Shannon also tonight, interrelated sports story, sounds like players are still protesting the National Anthem. As we kick off the Nfl Preseason. It open tonight with 12 games. The league and Players Union remains deadlocked on aNational Anthem policy. In spring, the nfl said players who kneel or sit during the anthem would be fine but when the union involved is that, the nfl suspended the rule. For now its kind of a gray area. A number of players are still protesting. In fact, the miami herald says that Dolphin Receivers took a need for the anthem prior to their game against tampa bay. The Dolphins Defense of end, he raised a fist like he did last season. Before the steelerseagles game, the eagles players reportedly raised their fists during the anthem. Defense of end Michael Bennet walked onto the field after the anthem started. Shannon all right, trace gallagher. Thank you very much. The controversies turning kneeling for the National Anthem is once again front and center. Lets talk about with Former Ohio Seminar to bitter Fox News Contributor guy benson. Capri, what do make of it . So much back and forth about owners, the lien, players. In the absence of any explicit direction from the nfl which is on hold. Basically we are back to square one and players are going to do with the players want to do. I think the signals that the concerns from the players continue, and i think probably some of this is fueled by the oneyear anniversary of some of the charlottesville protest that occurred a year ago. I would really urge the nfl, obviously i respect peoples First Amendment rights but the National Football league is the employer here. They need to work with the union to come up with a solution so there is consistency and so americans can continue to enjoy football this season. Shannon guy, are you
enjoying football . I am a College Football guy. We are kicking off a couple thursdays from now. Go, cats. The last thing the nfl wants collectively is yet another season where we are sitting here debating kneeling during the anthem. It annoys or offends many, many fans. Whether you agree with it or not, its disrespectful in the eyes of the vast majority of football fans, according to all the polling thats been done on this. For this league to be roiled yet again in a battle over patriotism and free speech, i guarantee you the League Office is not thrilled. Yet they have not handled this are many other things particularly well. So here we are talking about it again. Shannon i am counting down to the monday night kickoff, florida state. We will enjoy it. Lets hope its not another rebuilding year. Stock about the allegations against the man he says he wants
to be House Speaker at the g. O. P. Retains control. Jim jordan. Allegations that he knew when he was in ohio state wrestling coach that the doctor there was standing accused of all kinds of impropriety. Tonight when the primary accusers against jim jordan saying he knew about it has recanted, saying i have been misconstrued. Ive complete respect for him. I never said he knew about this. Quickly, get you to weigh in. Is someone from ohio who authored the rate kit backlog law, someone who is a licensed Social Worker and worked on a number of different bills including extending the statute. Victims are being politicized. This individual is not recanting something happened in regards to abuse. There is no suggestion of that. But it raises some red flags to make. The Columbus Dispatch reported today that apparently the statement from this wrestler was
issued by a firm that was retained by jim jordans campaign. That is problematic. Shannon he is not saying the abuse didnt happen. But he saying he is no longer saying that jim jordan knew about it. I have always said impertinence of this cades its important to follow the facts, take the allegations very seriously but when one of the crucial players who had been pointing the finger at jim jordan now is taking a step back and saying to be clear, i respect him. He is a man of integrity, and i have no direct knowledge that he was aware of the abuse. That also is a piece of evidence that we outweigh seriously. Shannon thank you both very much.

They are trying to escape an oppressive government. We spent much of the afternoon in a city thats right across the Simon Bolivar bridge from venezuela. The government says most crossings have been there and that many of them come to get their food. They have a hotmail and then the end of going back to venezuela.

Volunteers there say they serve 2500 venezuelans at that location alone. There are many more throughout the city. U. N. Ambassador nikki haley spoke with refugees there. We were the only tv crew with her. The volunteers asked ambassador if they could have a Military Style Kitchen because they said the demand is that much for food and to serve venezuelans. Haley said that situation, that scene is all the responsibility of venezuelan president nicolas maduro, and she says its time for him to go. I think theres more to do. So what we are trying to do here is raise the voices from people who cant. If the venezuelans protest when they get killed. We can do this. We can raise their voices. We need people to hear. We need countries to hear. Many venezuelans told us its getting worse in venezuela. The economic situation, but also the oppression from the government, especially after the attempt on nicolas maduros life this past weekend. Shannon. Shannon Rich Edson In Colombia with the u. N. Ambassador. Thank you. Top democratic senator slamming america today, blaming the u. S. For the results of a saudi led air strike in yemen. Senator chris murphy of connecticut reading u. S. Bombs, u. S. Targeting, u. S. Midair support and we just bombed a school bus. The Bombing Campaign is getting more reckless, killing more civilians and strengthening terrorists inside yemen. Tonight, senator Lindsey Graham response. The real culprit in yemen is the Iranian Regime and their proxies. Saudi arabia will not tolerate
proxies. I deeply regret the loss of civilian lives. Its in our National Security interests to stand with our arab allies and against iran when it comes to yemen. The unrest in yemen has been going on for three years. More than 10,000 dead and much of the countrys infrastructure in shambles. What now and who should get the blame . Lets speak with daniel hoffman. No easy answers. Its a humanitarian catastrophe. What we do know is the iranians are supporting their houthi proxies. In 2017 when the Houthi Rebels launched a missile, it brought the level of. They are relying on a Bombing Campaign. For the iranians and the Houthi Rebels, they want to blur the distinction. They want to induce their opponents, the saudis, to kill civilians. We see that too often. Shannon senator Bernie Sanders tweeting by backing the saudi coalitions were in yemen,
