Trump did win michigan, but not by much. To dan springer in topeka, kansas. Hey, mike, here in kansas all eyes are on the governors race and the republican primary, a lot of people see this as a microcosm between, within the Republican Party nationally.

chief White House Correspondent john roberts has that story. Good evening, john. Good evening, shannon. Might talk about it but not right about it. The president s outside Legal Counsel talking about the idea that the interview with the president with Robert Mueller mightve been completed by now and the rational part of the Mueller Investigation mightve been wrapped up by the end of the summer. Instead, it just goes on and on and on. President trumps legal Team Continues to work on a response to Robert Mullers letter of last week laying out his parameters for an interview. Sources tell fox news that the response will be sent to muller until the earliest. The big Sticking Point is a legal teams desire to limit questions, at least oral in person question relation to russia or if there was collusion between the Trump Campaign and russia to try to throw the election. Tom depree, his former assistant attorney general in the bush administration. In person interview with mueller, but the president is telling them to keep talking, keep negotiating to try to reach a deal. One possible compromise, have the president sit down with mueller in person to talk about russia and probably will collusion but stipulate tht questions and answers regarding obstructions be submitted in writing. That gives them time to think about their answers, to craft the right answer, as opposed to a facetoface interaction where, you know, as weve seen a lot, witnesses dont get it right under the pressure of the moment. As President Trumps attorneys complement their next according to the wall street journal, federal prosecutors are investigating cohen for possible tax fraud any have provided false or misleading information to attain bank loans. As far as the interview byRobert Mueller, the odds remain slim that Something Like that would happen and also buttressing that idea is the fact that the sources tell fox news tell rudy jelly and jay sekulow had not had Prep Situations to get ready for a possible interview. Nothing appears to be in a mint at this point. Shannon thank you very much. The California Wildfires are rewriting the states record books.

what they are not doing is driving the iranians to the negotiating table. Benjamin hall has the latest tonight. Protest against iran continues next week after months of unrest at anger against the regimes faltering economy grew. With the latest sanctions, the situation is near breaking. But the iranians have hours before the latest sanctions hit, president rouhans with the u. S. Despite his offers with no preconditions. In my opinion, what americans are seeking for their psychological warfare is to make iranians hesitant about their country. Since President Trump has withdrawn from the nuclear deal, rouhani said all iran would rely on russia and china to help bolster its oil sectors. Sanctions in place where meaningless, that the u. S. Would first have to apologize and pay compensation. If You Stab Somebody with a knife and you say you want to talks, the first thing you have to do is remove the knife. The ago in tehran, opinion are torn. Some are defiant. I believe america cant do a damn thing, it cant do anything because iranians are backing each other. Others are hoping that they will talk to the u. S. U. S. Sanctions are very effective. The government should find a solution. They first should solve domestic problems because people are drowning in poverty and misery. Iran has some allies. Today, north Korean Foreign minister arrived to hold talks with Senior Iranian officials, days after meeting with Secretary Of State mike pompeo. The protest in iran are driven by the dire Economic Situation in the new sanctions are only going to make the economy worse. The questions are or will the protest turned into something more or if the iranian people decide enough is enough. Shannon . Shannon benjamin hall, thank you.

Looking for the commitment they are looking for fundamental changes in their behavior. State officials confirmed the u. S. Is seeking a new deal with iran in a stark departure from the obama administrations nuclear deal, they say this one aims to be comprehensive. Not just the nuclear program, but the missile program, their support for terrorism, and their maligned regional behavior. One major goal is the trump trumps cutting off the rouhanis regime access to oil, which it uses to fund throughout the mideast. The important lien on the goal is to draw a line in the sand and make European Companies choose side. Many businesses do not want to risk losing business in the United States in order to continue to do business with iran. Some are already falling in line with the u. S. A short while ago, german Multinational Automaker gave a fox news statement that reads in part, we spend our activities in iran until further notice.

deals with European Companies. Shannon . Shannon thank you. You are welcome. Shannon The Pentagon Investigating a report that a u. S.
