A newscast reviewing and analyzing top stories of the day as they happen. That and 300 billion after that. Basically the entire u. S. Trade relationship with china. Initially on the next tranche of 200 billion, the president was thinking about Levying Attacks of 10 . This afternoon were going to learn that the president is going to up that to 25 . The belief here among his trading Economic Team that china continues to be a bad actor when it comes to trade and they need very strong influence, if you will, to try to get china to change its ways. Listen to what Sarah Huckabee sanders. The president has made some head way the e. U. In terms of lowering trade barriers, taking steps towards levelling the Playing Field. Does the president and his team believe that is possible with china without taking some real punitive measures . Wed like to see the Playing Field levelled. The president as both he and i think about 15 members of his administration have said repeatedly, wed like to see the unfair Trade Practices stop. Until that happens, the president will hold their feet to the fire and put pressure on china and hes not going to allow American Industries and American Workers to be taken advantage of. So heres the calculation that the white house is making. The United States buys about 500 billion, maybe more than that of goods from china every year. China buys 130 billion of american goods. If it comes for a tit for tat war, the u. S. Believes they can last longer. 130 billion on the chinese side versus 500 billion on the u. S. Side, the calculation, shep, is that they have more bullets to fight a trade war than china does. Shep . Shepard thanks, john. The white house echoed the president s false tweets claiming the dossier is the reason for the russian elements of it that are confirmed true. No part of it to Fox News Knowledge has been confirmed false. The Special Counsel, robert mueller, is a registered republican. The Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein who Appointed Mueller is also a republican. Attorney general Jeff Sessions who swore in rosenstein is also a republican. President trump, a republican appointed sessions. The dossier is 35 pages of research memos. Christopher steele wrote it. Hes a former British Intelligence agent. A Research Firm called fusion gps compiled the memos. They allege conspiracy between the Trump Campaign and the russian government to help mr. Trump win the election over hillary clinton. Republicans supporting marco rubio hired the Research Firm. When mr. Trump won the nomination, the group stopped funding the research and the Clinton Campaign took it over. In virginia outside d. C. , its day two of the criminal trial of the president s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort. Its the first trial resulting from Robert Muellers investigation. Today we learned the governments star witness may not testify. Prosecutors are describing Paul Manafort as the mastermind behind a Multimillion Dollar Scheme to evade taxing and banking laws. The judge said manaforts lavish lifestyle is not on trial. He blocked muellers team from showing the jury pictures of a closet full of clothes. The prosecutor said manafort dropped 15,000 on a jacket made of ostrich skin. Rick gates pleaded guilty in the Mueller Investigation and has been cooperating in the federal government in its investigation. He was expected to testify against his old boss but prosecutors say that may not happen. Paul manafort faces more than a dozen charges including bank fraud, tax evasion and conspiracy. Hes pleaded not guilty. These charged are connected to the rob lobbying he did in ukraine. President trump has repeatedly said there was no collusion. Peter doocy is live at the courthouse. Peter . Shep, the photos the mueller team wanted to show today of Paul Manaforts 7,500 Cashmere Suit or 9,500 Cream Trousers were taken in the fbi raid. The courts seizing agent was on the stand. He testified that when agents showed up unannounced, they knocked, waiting 30 seconds and repeated that three times. Nobody answered. At which point they used a key to get in. The fbi agent would not say where the key to manaforts condo came from. That account from the fbi does dispute earlier accounts there was no a noknock raid because they say that they did knock but it had no impact. However under cross examination, the fbi agent said hes not surprised. Nobody came to the door at 6 00 a. M. But what the Special Counsel is doing, demonstrating that they dont want to use a paper trail, computer files, paper files of transactions that were seized that show that manafort was spending a lot of money they allege from the hidden accounts from International Wire transfers. They want jurors to see the actual physical highdollar clothing that manafort was allegedly using this money for. The judge said that it might be prejudicial to present photos in addition to the transfers and he stress add again today like yesterday, its not illegal to be really rich and throw money around, shep. Shepard why doesnt the judge want the mueller team to use the word oligarch in the trial . The judge thinks that oligarch has a pajorative meaning. So he thinks that if the mueller team will describe the people that manafort was doing business with in the ukraine as oligarchs, it might be prejudicial again. He said these are people that Finance Campaigns like the judge said the Koch Brothers as opposed to criminals. When the judge give instructions like that to the defense or mueller team, he asks the jury to leave the room so the six men and six women from virginia that decide his fate are not there to see the judge pushing back.

Hello, dan. This is a big deal to many americans, including Vice President pence whose son is in the marine corps now and his father was a korean war hero. He fought in the war and honored with a bronze star. This is important today to anyone who has wore the uniform. It shows how far the u. S. Government will go to bring its war dead home. We had the pleasure to meet a bunch of veterans. They get together every tuesday and been doing it the last 20 years. Ten of them will take part in the ceremony as part of the honor guard.

Each one of those families has been made a promise by the u. S. Military to come home. Were the end of that promise.

The evidence is, the Senate Passed a Spending Bill which has approved seven of 12 annual Spending Bills. The deadline to fund the entire government is october 1. Chad pergram is with us now from there. The president is demanding exactly what, that the congress is not willing to give him . Hes demanding funding for this border wall. In the 7 of 12 bills, none of which address the Homeland Security Spending Bill, which is where the wall money would reside. They passed 7 of 12. The president threatened in march to not approve another big bill like they did back then. The omnibus. What theyre doing, taking a volkswagen approach here, the mini buses where they put a batch of three bills together. One group, legislative branch, the v. A. The bill they passed today, 986 with the Department Of Energy and the interior department. Agricultural spending. So what theyre doing is doing the mini buses. Theyre not going to get to that Homeland Security bill until later. This is the gop message. Were going to work in august. We get the Spending Bills done. The problem is the president is tramping on their message which leaves Chuck Schumer very upset. Were working in a remarkably smooth bipartisan way. We hope that is a predent of things to come. We hope to Work Together and not let outside forces mess that up, not to mention any names. Our Immigration System is completely broken and hes begging and has been for can congress, particularly democrats, to step up and do their jobs, stop kicking the ball down the field and work with him to fix our system. Its that simple. Again, this was the approach by Senate Republicans to work and try to pass some of these bills in good faith to show the president that they were passing these pieces of legislation and still hes stepping on their message. When the president talks about a government shut down, i remember talking to a republican congressman some years ago, the tactics of forcing a government shut down to get your way. Trying to force a government shut down for political games is like trying to break dance around nitroglycerin. Shepard are republicans expressing concern about this talk of a government shut down . Absolutely. I talked to Richard Shelby yesterday from alabama. He called the president s approach mind boggling. This would seem to affect House Republicans more significantly. Theres 40 plus open seats there. If you have a government shut down before the midterms, thats a problem. Might not affect the senate as much because the field favors democrats over republicans. A lot of folks said we had a government shut down in 2013, 2014 in the midterms. We won the most seats in the house. We seized back control of the senate there. What is the problem . The difference is doing this before the midterms what in a government shut down happens just as theyre trying to confirmed Brett Kavanaugh to the court . Two ways you can read this. You have a shut down and they have stepped on the message again. Maybe hes not confirmed by october 1. Mitch mcconnell said that could drift into october and sets it back a couple weeks. Theyre Playing With Fire here with a potential government shut down, especially as it pertains to Brett Kavanaugh. Shepard chad, youre the man. Thank you. Coming up, the family of a missing College Student Molly Tibbets speaking to fox news. Well hear from her boyfriend and what he has to say about how hes been demonized since shes disappeared.
