Author of trumps america, the truth about the nations great comeback. He is outnumbered. We have a lot to get to. This is breaking now. Newt i am definitely outnumbered. Harris good to have you. Lets get to it. Former f. B. I. Director james comey reportedly in hot water as he await the release of the d. O. J. Inspector general report. Its been delayed. We have been reporting that. One source telling abc news the watchdog draft explicitly uses the word insubordinate to describe comeys behavior during his time as head of the f. B. I. The draft reportedly criticizes the former attorney general Loretta Lynch over her handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation. This is meaty. We knew there would be fireworks. What is your reaction . Newt somebody inside justice decided they would leak this. I dont think it has gotten anywhere except for the Justice Department so that means somebody inside justice is really angry about the way its being handled. I think they decided lets just start getting it out there. Harris any surprise, reaction, par for the course with james comey from you . Newt i dont know i have a surprise about it. Look. I think comey was a terrible person who did terrible things. I think he did it in the bush administration. I think he did it as head of the f. B. I. I think if mcnabb gets immunity and testifies comey will be in worst shape. I think mcnabb and comey harris you mean Andrew Mccabe, the former deputy of the f. B. I. Newt mccabe who was fired with four charges of broken the law. The top guy at the f. B. I. Fired. The number two guy at the f. B. I. Fired. This report apparently says the attorney general was doing things that were wrong. Which i believe means you eventually will get to Valerie Jarrett and barack obama. Harris that is where i want to go with you, marie harf. You have a line of command that would reach to the president , to the white house potentially. Marie maybe. Harris i said, potentially. Marie first its a draft report so we dont know if there are caveats or context. We have to wait and read it together when its finalized. I always said about james comey. He is by no means a perfect public servant. I think he has done damage to his reputation and a lot of democrats hate him, too. That being said, some of the criticisms he has raised can also be true. So we have to sort to separate those out. Harris like what . What are you talking about . Marie some of his criticisms of President Trump and the fact President Trump fired him in part because of the russia investigation can still be problematic even if james comey wasnt perfect. You asked about barack obama. We have no idea. We have no idea what james comey was doing or if he was talking to obama or the white house. I dont i know why you brought up Valerie Jarrett. She hasnt been part of any of this. We have to wait until we see the report. Harris i want the speaker a chance to respond to that. Newt first, you have the specific text message in which one of the f. B. I. Agents says to the other the president personally wants to be kept briefed on all of this. Marie on the election meddling investigation. Newt well, on the investigation into the Trump Campaign during the election. Second, you know just the way the white house operated the idea that Valerie Jarrett wouldnt be in the middle of this is inconceivable. Marie you have no evidence she is. You are throwing that out there. I have no idea if she was. I want to get to Something Else. The interesting thing is you have three top players in the f. B. I. And top players turning on each other. Andrew mccabe assumes that he is going to receive the same sort of liberal outreach. I dont think he is going to. I dont think he needs to be immune from the prosecution. But what he is saying is i will gladly turn on comey. Comey has said there is classified information about Loretta Lynch that showed she directly meddled in the investigation. And comey also, you know, he tried to say he and mccabe were best friends but perhaps he wasnt as honorable as people have thought. But you know, it will be very interesting to see where we go from here because if you believe james comey its fine to do a deal. You can believe him at his word when he says Loretta Lynch was so compromised he had to go rogue and out on his own, which contradicts his testimony that he believes in the chain of command. If he really believed that, that means he couldnt go to the president. He couldnt go above her to the chain of command above her. And appeal to the president and say she is doing something wrong so he went out on his own. Harris so a person who would have leaked information about his conversations with the president to a friend whom he had employed at one point as head of the f. B. I. As a special type of agent at the f. B. I. He leaks to that columbia professor that person we are supposed to suspend belief about Everything Else that he is telling the truth and not think that any of what you said happened. Its a stretch perhaps for some people politically. I want to get to this, though. The word insubordinate apparently is used by the Inspector Generals report. This is leaking, again. A lot of leaking. So we want to be able to see it as marie says if we can, as unredacted as possible. Insubordinate is a serious word. That is not a little going rogue or he felt he could expect to the president because his boss was in the way. That conotes in this report he did something wrong. Abby insubordinate used for the head of the f. B. I. The irony this goes against the man he is trying to portray he is. James comey out on a book tour and he is trying to be the example for the leaders coming up. In that interview with George Stephanopoulos he said i follow that chain of command. Harris that is what kennedy was saying. Abby to your point. This is against the person he claims to be. The people i feel for the most in this, the Bigger Picture is the morale at the f. B. I. Harris definitely. Abby you have 35,000 employees. Many of them are there for the right reason and they take the job not to be political but to serve this country. You have all of the guys at the top pointing fingers at one another. I think its disgusting and i think its sad to see in this country. Newt as a his attorney and as a historian and novelist harris and a former speaker. Newt let me just suggest that if you have the number two person at the f. B. I. Guilty of something, you potentially are turning on the number one person at the f. B. I. Who if you read the rosenstein memo, which was devastating which trump should have released before he fired him. Because it was devastating. What we are seeing today because rosenstein said we can never rebuild the morale at the f. B. I. As long as he is still there. That is in the memo by rosenstein. Then you have comey the head of the f. B. I. Saying of his boss, the attorney general, that she clearly has done things that are terribly wrong. And now i understand you want to suggest that the Obama Administration was so sloppily run that you could have the attorney general, the head of the f. B. I. And the number two person of the f. B. I. All doing these things at the white house they were totally ignorant. That is inconceivable. Marie well wait for evidence and well see. Newt the Justice Department has done everything it can to avoid the evidence. Marie i want to interject this quickly. Seeing there might be accountability in a story that the media said was closed there might be accountability is good thing. Kennedy this also shows that the Inspector General so far has been pretty thorough and maybe we dont need a special counsel. Harris i was just thinking the same thing. In fact, because we still have to see the ticktock on what he found out on the Hillary Clinton email investigation portion of it, which we will get to, waiting for the i. G. Report. And with the delays that we learned about this week i have had many lawmakers on the hill tell me it will be worth the wait because it will answer some questions. And clearly its answering questions we might not have known we wanted to ask. A group of democratic lawmakers requesting top d. O. J. And f. B. I. Officials confirming they did not give anyone from the legal team access to the same classified information on the russia probe briefed to the congressional leader last month. Democrats stating in a letter that the president s attorneys and the Congressional Republicans will ultimately attempt to use the information against the agency. Adding, we respectfully request that the department of justice confirm Going Forward d. O. J. And the f. B. I. Will not brief additional members of congress who are not part of the gang of eight on the matters. We should note that the House Oversight chairman trey gowdy was the only lawmaker present at the briefings not part of the bipartisan gang of eight. So mr. Speaker, this is part of this backdrop of the russia investigation. The kerfuffle or who went to what briefing. I think the white house landed in a good place to brief the gang of eight. But then the white house had an attorney for part of the meeting. They got criticism for that. Was the criticism warranted . That is what the letter is addressing in part. Newt it would have been just as well off not to do it. Look where we are at. We have had a year and a half of this. This is all sort of stuff kept either secret or its redacted. This is absurdity. In jerry mcguire, heshow me the money. After 17 million and all the lawyers show me the evidence. Dont tell me there is a magic secret hidden place. The whole point of the election of donald trump was the American People sending a signal they are sick of a washington establishment operating in secret. Harris also in that movie help me, help you. Let me do what i can, you do what you can. Marie trey gowdy came out of the meeting and he said he is more convinced that the f. B. I. Is proper in how they handled the investigation. Paul ryan seems to agree with him. Lets look at what he had to say. I think chairman gowdys initial assessment is accurate. I think but we have more digging to do. I want to make sure we run every lead down and make sure we get final answers to these questions. Newt can i Say Something on this . Marie of course. Newt i was really surprised by gowdy saying this. Marie do you think he believes it maybe . Newt he may believe it but chairman nunes made the point none of the documents have been exposed. They give a briefing. Marie they got access to documents in the briefing and kennedy, trey gowdy came out saying he thinks the f. B. I. Behaved properly. He is respectedded in the issues. Kennedy i understand. But the issue the democrats has is trey gowdy was part of the briefing. What are they upset about . It seems like everyone is moving chess pieces just because they feel like they should be playing a game. Marie right. Kennedy its really obnoxious. I agree with you completely but i also agree for the future administration regardless of party. Lets get used to releasing information. Lets get used to transparency in this government. Not just to protect the president or to protect our chances in the midterms but to protect the rule of law and Civil Liberties here. Those are violated when you have an opaque government. And when you have a gross abuse of power, or whether its political or otherwise. We need to see that thrown open immediately so we you know what happens . We abstract and you keep some things secret but you show some others with redactions. It just keeps this broken system in place. You know for future generations of lawmakers, makes it okay for them to use these great tools for their own needs. Abby speaker, where does this end . We have a minute here. You say the American People want it done and they want to focus on the economy and things that impacts their daily life. How do you think this ends . Newt this . I think it gets worse and worse. People finally stop and say explain again why all of hillarys accomplices were given immunity. Explain again why none of this stuff was ever carried out as a legal thing. The more we are learning even today, the sicker the system looks. So that piece i was just is going to gust worse but for the establishment. Not for donald trump. On the other front if we have very many more months we are told well have 4. 8 real growth. And yesterdays report there are now more Jobs Available than people looking for work, i think those kind of things affect the American People much more. The average american talks about that a lot more than they talk about washington. Harris in the next chapter in that potentially could be the gap that you see between people looking for work and the jobs out there is the skill base. What happens if the skills start to catch up with the jobs . That will be like a head wind. First, its beautiful for the people looking for jobs. But a head wind for democrats in that sense. All right. So the president right now is about to make news in the rose garden. We are watching minute by minute on this. Everybody is assembled. So this looks like it may go off on time. The president is signing the Veterans Affairs mission act today. It addresses new v. A. Health plan. Some of the reporting that has come in recent days was very critical of the Healthcare Program that set aside for our veterans and military people who served. So to shore that up almost right on time on cue, you have got this happening today. Well learn about that v. A. Mission act no doubt as he signs that today. So we are watching for that live event to happen right there in the rose garden. Also, President Trump weighing in on a huge primary day. And the focus on california. Democrats were facing the potential of being shutout of some of the critical races in part because of how the people can vote for anybody they want there. Its called a jungle primary. A republican secured a top spot in a very important contest. Live report ahead. Stay close. Having moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis is not always easy. Its a longdistance run and you have the determination to keep going. Humira has a proven track record of being prescribed for over ten years. Its the 1 prescribed biologic by dermatologists. More than 250,000 patients have chosen humira to fight their psoriasis. And theyre not backing down. For most patients clearer skin is the proof. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma have happened, as have blood, liver and nervous system problems. Serious allergic reactions and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Join over 250,000 people who have chosen humira. Ask your dermatologist about humira go. Harris breaking news. This is what we told you we were watching before the commercial break there. And now we see the Vice President of the United States mike pence there on the dais with other veterans and members who have been invited today. The president is about to sign the v. A. Mission act today in the rose garden that we are looking at right now. We anticipate with the Vice President already out there that the president will be joining him shortly. That is usually the ticktock on all these things. People have been seated there for quite a while. So this was supposed to happen right about now. And as it comes together i can tell you that new v. A. Health plan that the president will be signing counters what has been critically written about just this week and last week. A Choice Program that doesnt seem to be working. But even with this Choice Program, that the president would sign today, the other one will still be in place for another year while they roll that in. This is a big deal. The veterans there, you know the story with the v. A. And how some suffered on waiting lists and even died. This addresses people having more of a choice after serving this nation. As it happens live and the president steps up we will go straight to it. Kennedy . Kennedy very good. Here is a fox news alert. President trump declaring, great night for republicans as we get results for primaries in eight states. That includes the big one. California. Where President Trump threw his support behind a republican businessman who has captured a top spot in a critical race there. A lot of focus on california where the democrats were able to avoid getting shut out of some of the key congressional races by securing second place finishes in every house race that they are targeting come november. And in the race for california governor, republican businessman john cox earning a chance to go up against democratic Lieutenant Governor gavin newsom. President trump threw his support behind cox who spoke earlier on americas newsroom. Watch. This state is wonderful. And weve got to change the regime in sacramento. Get the special interest out of power and return the state to the great golden state it is. Kennedy will that message resonate . President trump tweeting great night for republicans. Congratulations to john cox on a really big number in california. He can win even fake news cnn said the trump impact was really big. Much bigger than they ever thought possible. So
