Tell us more about whats happening inside the west wing. We been talking about the low morale and in fact this was account a bad week for the white house, but particularly that if your part of the president communications team, if its your job to speak on behalf of the president and the administration, we saw this week that there were changing story lines. Thats because the press shop didnt find out about the president s decision to fire director comey until about an hour before he did it. And so they didnt have a lot of time to put together an explanations for why the president made the de
Fired director james comey, who President Trump says he will rere place by next friday. Now, the New York Times is reporting this week President Trump demanded a pledge of loyalty from comey shortly after taking office. Something the white house denies. President trump in the meantime said such a question wouldnt be inappropriate in a conversation with judge, which can be seen later tonight. But weve got a preview. Watch. People suggest that the question that apparently the new york asked comey whether or not you had his loyalty was possibly inappropriate. Could you see how they would think that . No. I read that article. I dont think its inappropriate, number one. Did you ask that question . No. No, i didnt. But i dont think it will be a bad question to ask. I think loyalty to the country. Loyalty to the United States is important. You know, i mean, it depends on how you define loyalty. Number one. Number two, i dont know how that got there because i didnt ask that question. What abou
Story with big implications not only for politics in leadership of the fbi, and the continuing leadership of the counterintelligence investigation about russias efforts to interfere in the 2016 election. The firing and the fallout, the main topic of the sunday shows today, despite a global cyberattack, and another ominous missile test from north korea. We have Fox Team Coverage tonight. Catherine herridge looks at whos in the running to replace comey in the fbi. We start off on the north lawn with chief White House Correspondent john roberts. Good evening, john. Reporter good evening to you. Like so many public officials, the fbi director serves at the pleasure of the president and can be fired for any reason or no reason at all. President trump is finding that prerogative challenged on many fronts tonight. A relatively quiet day for President Trump ahead of what will be a busy week including first foreign trip, and indications he may name a new fbi director before he leaves friday. I
Candidates fired james comey, the department of justice. Welcome to a special edition of americas news headquarters. Behind me the walls of the old city, the same view donald trump will see from his hotel room. Thanks for joining us on this busy saturday. Donald trump on his way back to dc after delivering the commencement speech at Liberty University in lynchburg, virginia, christian universitys president Gerri Falwell junior was a key and early trump support helping deliver evangelical votes, more than 50,000 people on the pool today including kevin kirk who joined us from lynchburg. What a day for the graduating class, think back for a moment to your graduation day. Can you remember who the Commencement Speaker was . If you graduated from Liberty University in 2017 you will not have a problem remembering who spoke at your graduation today, the president of the United States and what a rousing address to the students at least from their perspective. I talked to a few afterwards and t
Learned what was going on yesterday. Your thoughts, your reporting since then . Look, im still the same reaction, im just still stunned by the news. Although when it comes to donald trump, you learn no longer to be shocked. Theres not a lot of political sense this makes. You cannot figure out if this makes any sense unless the motivation is one thing delay or put off the Russian Investigation. You cant help but look at it through that prism under any other. Look, two things were true. James comey had lost credibility with democrats and republicans. 40 minutes before this news was announced, i had Richard Blumenthal on yesterday.

Frankly, democrats would have been more over the last two weeks, would have called for his resignation if they felt comfortable that donald trump would appoint somebody that they thought they would feel comfortable with at the fbi. So that is you th
