President trump on hand in opening of Civil Rights Museum in jackson, mississippi, this museum takes visitors through the state history through segregation. The president spoke about sacrifices during that tim youll tu us time. Here we memorialize brave men and women to sacrifice so much and so that others might live in freedom. President s appearance drew criticism from civil rights leaders who say mr. Trumps policies undermine the values and goals of civil rights movement. Congress man jon lewis boycotted the ceremony. As we head into this week. Echoes of last week reverberating after high profile resignations on the hill this week. Democrats john conyers and al franken announcing departure soon followed by trent franks on friday. Alabama Sexual Assault allegations against Senate Candidate roy moore are clouding election. President trump is supporting moore despite allegations by several women. Voters go to the polls on tuesday. Of course, all of this fallout now is centering attention on the tuesday primary in alabama and joining us this not only harassment allegations but well touch on some of the things going on overseas is simone pethy roll call of Political Correspondent we appreciate you doing this this morning. Thank you. Have you seen a week up on the hill lake we saw last week with franken and conyers and present franks all falling like bowling pins one after another. No this was highly unu unusual. We never had three members resign all at the same time like that this week. Remember its not just them. Previous week last friday we had reuben keywin dem dprat nevada and House Minority leader nancy pelosi calling on him to resign as well. And theres been a lot of conversation as he we look owe december 1 and what we might see in the outcomes and close race december 12. And those that dont live in alabama if roy moore does well voteers in the state dont care about the issues or is it this point that a lot of administration is highlighting that weve got worry about the seat and we weve got worry about issues and what hell vote on. Is it as complicated as people are making it when they make that decision in alabama. Sure. So i think theres a couple things that play in alabama. A lot of voters do not believe the allegations are credible and theres a the love report of it being fake news and of it being liberal media plot. If you dont believe them. And that update with her adding the date. Exactly. It adds doubt to peoples mind. Exactly. You have a lot of voters not even starting from the same premise that he would be the child molester or abuser in the senate and the other point you brought up is politics of this. You see this from both parties that the vote is morning pour than necessarily who the character is. Lets talk about the politics. John conyers and al franken did they have to go so democrats could clear decks and focus more attention tuesday which in a lot of ways is more important than al franken will be replaced by another democrat and john conyers will be replaced by another democrat and alabama is the seat theyre focused on. You saw a definite seat messaging from democrats. A week or two ago pelosi saying they were an icon and slowly camera around to calling for resignation and again pressure in franken was very sudden and it took several accusers for a lot of women in the senate to leave movement to call for him to step down. It rings hollow for a lot of folks when the allegation against franken came out he was somewhat given a pass on that one and then is that the magic number now if you get to eight you have to go after eight because it seems like if we say all accusers should be believed the very first accuser should be believed as much as the last one was. Right i think it was combination of things one the allegations became too much. And t shes been vob vocal even this morning on twitter talking about Sexual Assault and really as you said trying to owe positive significance Democratic Party as having high grouped on issue before alabama. Unfortunately i think this conversation is going to continue and we may have more people come to light with accuweatherizations against them as the conference cop tips on the hill. Lets move on to the other big this week the decision to move the embassy in jerusalem to. We solve our problems by making the same failed assumptions and repeating the same failed strategist of the past and it is time to officially recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. Simone, other president s promised us and george were bush promises promises they nev did it why is President Trump doing it. Its political appoint to base. This is evangelical christian voters other conservative christian voters playing well to them. If it plays to the base as tom said and clinton, too, both parties promised this. Lawmakers have promised this. And why the backlash . I mean have we become so cynical that we just expect politicians for decades to make proms that theyre not going to keep . I cannot help but think about the very real thing that we can point to dozens of examples of people saying we need to do this and someone does it and we say its about the base. Put that in context. Yeah i think as weve seen trumpp really prior tiss Campaign Promises somewhat more than other president s in the sense he doesnt care how things play on International Stage right this is the International Community and put us at odds and other naiings in of recognizing jerusalem as capital here. Thats not something our president cares about. He cares more about domestic policy priorities. Simone pathy from roll call we appreciate you coming in and talking about two very important topics that dominated the knk this week. We appreciate. It coming up russian investigations and how it is taken on a life of its own right now. We have an expect be breaking down the latest developments. Fox news on the hill after this. Pass pass. Fok is of Robert Mueller investigate and this week donald trump junior was in the hot seat. Chuck mc calla is with the the actuala rky law firm and hes former Inspector General for the Intelligence Committee thank few are coming in this week. We had a incident donald trump junior goes up and interviews with congressional investigators and takes the fifth a couple times. Weve now seen guilty pleas and weve seen indictments and it appears that this investigation is marp ago long from your view point has this proceeded in a way that is reputable despite the attacks that this effort by the president and his attorneys. It certainly seems is reputable and i expect it to take several months more and mike flynn is fairly significant event. That was something where they would not have ebterd into that sort of agreement with him unless he had something stoonl provide. You can tell us about the context of the headlines about cost of the investigation and 6. 7 million so far. You can help put that in context. People see that number obviously most people agree if there was collusion we want to know that happened. But help us understand that dollar value and also what more expense we might expect for this type of investigation. Sure. So, those costs are relative possible. But theyre notal together that accurate. So i recall when we finish the email investigation with respect to mrs. Clinton we got letters from this senate with respect to how much it cost. And you take your best stab at it. But if you get 6 million i dont know that right now they can really estimate altogether how accurate that is. Chuck i want to talk to you about that. Youve been in the news a bit yourself recently. The president again and again and again keeps tweeting and saying that more focus should continue on the clinton email investigation. Youre somebody involved in that and is there more there that we dont know about or more that needs to come out about that. The department of justice Inspector General is looking at that and what the fbi did. I was not involved with the fbi investigation of it. I was just involved at the beginning of. Mike horwitz is thorough. G and they move at a glacial pace and that takes a while. Begun i expect that to resolve itself sometime this spring. The question i guess comes because a lot of people look at the things the president says and look at it through political prison and say wow hes throwing people off direction. Professionals in the industry i wonder are, are they asking these same types of question in a professional sense that maybe that was not done yet. Well i think hes raising some questions. There have been questions raised about whether or not a Damage Assessment has been done. And there have been questions raised about the way this was handled by the fbi and whether it was handled properly and again thats the purpose of mr. Horwitz review. More indictments or guilty pleas before the new year . I dont year thats hard to predict but i think before its over certainly. Well thats open ended but i think youre probably right. Thank you so much for being with us. Chuck mculla legal expert and coming up economy is going strong and unmroument going low and tax reform may happen. Well talk about all of it with experts. First leave with you this saturday night live last night santa getting difficult questions down at the mall from kids. Take a look last night. Who surprise next . Hi santa im jessica.

Economy is stronger than its been in years. Friday unemployment report was Solid Holding steady 4. 1 and 17 year low. Business investments are up and stock market reaching all time highs and tax reforms is on the table. Our question now what impact is tax reform plan going to have on economy and joining thus morning to talk about all this mark avalone our and pete, mark, thanks forever joining us this morning. We know a little mark i felt bad in the last couple weeks. Every time you come in we didnt know what we were talking about basically because we didnt know parameters of tax bill. We know two different versions exist. But a lot of people ive been talking to are very concerned of loss of deductions that your state and local taxes are going to be no longer applied. What kind of kchtions have you been having to people as they look forward. Upper middle class anrubts individuals living in states like par mar, california, new jersey with high state medical tax and high property taxes they may actually not get a kax cut. So thats what the concern has been. And there really say tax cut for lower earners through working exemptions and folks on high end that see a drop in tax rate. Upper middle bracket could actually get slight increase because of loss of salt deduction state and local income tax. Thats fwhoot was pro promised. If you look at distribution tables millionaires are getting average but of 4 , 50 to 75,000 raivrming and 28 upper middle class falls somewhere in between those two polls. Loss of salt deduction is by no means set in stone yet. Because theres members of the house of representatives who voted for their plan on the assumption that part of salt would be preserved. So that might very well still be in the final bill probably property tax deduction. So pete you can tell us why the vote rz should be happy about the fact that the Corporate Tax cut dont expire but the middle class tax cut do . Not all of the Corporate Tax cuts are permanent. In fact one of the most important elements which is full writeoff for corporate investments when they reach but the lowering to 0 will stay and now were talking about peopl where mark brought up the the point we will not potentially see tax cut. So why is that the right decision. Theres a number of reasons for one even Congressional Budget Office which is skeptic of tax cut satisfies at least one dollar out of every four cut from Corporate Tax will show up in workers paychecks economists think twice as much as that. One thing you said this would add a trillion in the deficit. Thats not what were used to hearing from republicans. Is this New Territory that theyre cop vipsed the economy will grow and not affect things that ba badly. Theyre not including Economic Growth from the bill that generate tax reef knew. The numbers of the segment and economy is firing on all cylinders. Is that a good things. A risk of having tax cuts now and if economy is strong and making it stronger then the rates and thats a fear the market has. And how much these tax cuts can do and its possible we can boost economy extra half a percentage point over time. That say lot of revenue for governments as a result of Economic Growth. So theyve about aekt philadelphia. President of national tax next up looking for ways to give back this holidayen s i hope you are. Stay with us. Youre watching fox news on the hill.
