3:01 pm
constitution of the united states of america. >> do you believe president trump is a racist? >> i believe he is -- yes, no doubt about it. >> i think the millions of americans share the president's frustration about sitting members of congress engaging in that kind of reckless rhetoric whether it be anti-semitic rhetoric, whether it be referring to border patrol agents as running concentration camps, and the president thought it was important to stand up to them, and i'm glad he did. jon: ellison barber is live near the president's golf club where he spent the weekend. ellison? >> reporter: hi, jon. yeah, it's been seven days since president trump's first round of tweets about members of the so-called squad. the tweets the democratic-led house decided to vote to condemn as racist. since then president trump's attacks and criticisms of the squad have only become more frequent. he tweeted about them again this morning saying in part, quote: i

3:03 pm
proud of, who our children can emulate, who our children will look up to, and that is not the kind of example that you're setting. and i'm telling you, mr. president, you and we, our nation is better than that. >> reporter: a senior white house aide told "fox news sunday" he believes racist is a term often used to stifle dissent and tries to shift the focus of the comments made by the squad. >> perhaps most shocking of all were the comments made by representative ocasio-cortez saying our border agents are running concentration camps and, therefore, they are nazis. i'm a jew. as an american jew i am profoundly outraged by the comments from ocasio-cortez. it is a historical smear. it is a sinful comment. it minimizes the death of six million of my jewish brothers and sisters. >> reporter: president trump left new jersey around 4:00 this

3:05 pm
laid out in the special counsel's report, instances that they believe potentially constitute obstruction. jon? jon: ellison barber in new jersey the, thank you. just in to fox newsroom, puerto rico's governor says he will not resign but also will not seek re-election when his term comes to an end. this as unrest grows on the island amid allegations of corruption in his administration and his use of vulgar text messages. jeff paul is live in san juan with the latest on that. jeff? >> reporter: yeah, jon, and that announcement happening a few minutes ago, thousands and thousands of folks continue to protest. the governor here in puerto rico saying he will not only not seek re-election, but he will not be the leader of his party. folks out here, they continue to protest and demonstrate, and they have been marching all day and doing pretty creative things
3:06 pm
to get their message across to governor that they want him to reresign. they have been marching, making noise, motorcycles and horses. and now we are seeing they are -- [inaudible] dozens in the bay on kayaks and boats to demonstrate earlier today. and some of the folks we spoke with say -- [inaudible] the governor has announced it is simply not good enough. >> nothing.

3:07 pm
it was relatively peaceful for hours and hours, but as is with several times at this kind of events, the actions of a few can ruin it for the rest. police say molotov cocktail it ises were thrown at them, fireworks shot at them, and they had to disperse the crowd. back out here live, there's a lot of people out here. we expect them to show up tomorrow for a protest beginning at nine a.m. they're going to be marching from the biggest mall in san juan. outside the governor's house -- [inaudible] some folks out here are given the day off from work so they can be a part of what's happening here in puerto rico. jon: jeff paul, thank you. misgrapple with more -- police grapple with more pro-democracy protesters in hong kong after protesters ignored commands and threw various objects. the demonstrations began last month after introduction of a bill that would allow hong kong residents facing criminal charges to be sent to mainland

3:09 pm
>> in the end, the iranians have to -- the iranian regime has to make a decision that it wants to behave like a normal nation. and if they do that, we're prepared to negotiate across a broad spectrum of issues with no preconditions. i hope that they will do that, but today we have seen no indications that the iranians are prepared to fundamentally change the direction of their nation. >> reporter: today iran's foreign minister threw fuel on the fire by blaming white house national security adviser john bolton for the british oil tanker being seized by iran, tweeting: make no mistake, having failed to lure donald trump into the war of the century and fearing collapse of his b team, john bolton is turning his venom against the u.k. in hopes of drag it into a quagmire. only prudence and foresight can avoid such ploys. u.s. lawmakers such as senator ron johnson say iran's antics are only uniting the world
3:10 pm
against it. >> i think iran is playing a very, very dangerous game. it makes no sense that they'd go after the u.k. i think they were trying to divide the u.s. from our friends and allies. they're just uniting us in, hopefully, standing up to iran once and for all. >> reporter: in addition to securing waterways in the middle east, the u.s. is also bolstering its military presence in the region. hundreds more u.s. troops are heading to saudi arabia, joining the 70,000 troops already deployed to the middle east, jon. jon: garrett tenney, thank you. navy officials are criticizing venezuela after one of its fighter jets aggressively shadowed a u.s. reconnaissance aircraft. the u.s. southern command says it happened friday over the caribbean sea. venezuela's defense minister says the american aircraft entered the renal without reporting in, that's when the russian-made jet was dispatched. officials are calling the move unprofessional saying venezuela's plane was at an

[cheers and applause] >> reporter: former vice president joe biden campaigned in las vegas. biden wants to build on obamacare, not scrap the whole program for a medicare for all plan, and like many presidential hopefuls, he's strongly criticizing the president and his supporters from a north carolina rally earlier this week who were chanting "send her back," referring to congresswoman ilhan omar. >> we are literally, not figuratively, in the battle for the soul of the country. donald trump's viciousness, his bullying, his utter disregard for people's lives is literally tearing the soul out of who we are. >> reporter: cory booker was on state of the union, and steve bullock was on abc this week and both candidates fiercely criticizing the chants. >> the reality is this is a guy

who is worse than a racist. he's actually using racist tropes and racial language for political gains, trying to use this as a weapon to divide our nation. >> it's racist, and those 13 seconds where trump just basically soaked in those sounds of those chants, that's going to be a stain on this presidency. >> reporter: mayor pete buttigieg, who has faced strong backlash from both police and the black community after an officer-involved shooting in south bend, indiana, will attend an naacp convention in detroit today. jon? jon: christina coleman, thank you. the wage debate is unfolding on capitol hill after the democratic-led house approved a bill last week to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour. as many of the democratic presidential candidates support the increase, a seattle-based restaurant chain says it had to declare bankruptcy partially because of the increase in labor costs associated with rising
3:22 pm
minimum wages. dan springer has more from seattle. >> reporter: in a vote mostly along party lines, democrats in the house made good on a promise and passed a $15 federal minimum wage. it would be the first hike in a decade, but republicans who control the senate are unlikely to even bring it up. their argument, job losses. a point strengthened by the bankruptcy filing last week by restaurants unlimited. 35 upscale restaurants mainly along the west coast. the company partially blamed high minimum wage costs which raised its labor costs over the last three years. it cited three examples where minimum wages have climbed dramatically. >> i think what restaurants unlimited found out is they can't pass along the full impact of that labor cost increase to their customers through higher prices. >> the cost of doing business has gone up, and it's really hard to adjust your prices in a restaurant at the speed that the

market changes. >> reporter: despite high wages, 111 new restaurants opened in seattle since may according to the seattle times. a proponent says restauranted unlimited is making pay a scapegoat. >> they made some bad business decisions. there were a couple of openings that didn't go well. they're closing them in other places where there's a lower minimum wage. >> reporter: nearly every democratic presidential hopeful supports the $15 federal minimum, more than double the current $7.25 which is still in effect in 21 states. >> long past time. it should be $15 ap hour across the united states of america. >> [inaudible] >> reporter: the nonpartisan congressional budget office just issued a report on raising the federal wage to $15 an hour. it said 17 million people would get a pay raise, but while 1.3 million people would be lifted out of poverty the, it could cost three times that many people their jobs. dan springer, fox news. jon: an international murder mystery unfolding in canada as

police are investigating the murders of an american woman and her australian boyfriend. both found dead last week alongside a highway in british columbia. meanwhile, the state department says its personnel are closely monitoring the situation. lauren blanchard has more on this developing story from our washington bureau. >> reporter: jon, it's being called a suspicious death. canadian investigators want to talk to anyone who may have been in the area where the two young travelers were found, just south of the hot springs. they're specifically asking for anyone with dash cam footage. 24-year-old china deese of charlotte, north carolina, and her boyfriend, 23-year-old lucas fowler, the son of an australian police inspector, were found on monday morning last week along a rural highway in northern british columbia alongside an old blue chevrolet van. australian authorities have now sent two homicide detectives to act as ally yea soften for the fowler family and the royal

canadian mounted police. >> what a tragic event, knowing it's the son of one of our police officers. our understanding is that it was with a vehicle in the northern part of british columbia. it appears they may have been shot at that location. >> reporter: fowler's family saying they're on their way to canada to bring their boy home and to lose someone so young and vibrant who was traveling the world and just enjoying life to full is devastating. while deese's older brother posting on facebook, his family has spent if hours working with the u.s. embassy and investigators and that china and lucas' lives were abruptly taken from a random act of violence while starting their road trip through canada. royal canadian police say as of now the investigation is still in its infancy, and they're not sure if deese and fowler were targeted or if it was a random attack. however, they don't believe right now there is any public safety risk.

3:30 pm
general and others have spent the few months systematically lying to the american people about what the investigation found. they've said that it found no collusion, that it found no obstruction, that it exonerated the president. all three of those statements are absolute lies. jon: that is house judiciary committee chairman jerrold nadler on "fox news sunday" insisting the president is far from exonerated in the russia probe. i'm jon scott and this is "the fox report." if your just joining us, the new york democrat telling our chris wallace there is substantial evidence that president trump is, quote, guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors. this as house lawmakers prepare to question former special counsel robert mueller on wednesday. with more on what we can expect to hear, let's bring in a breaking news reporter for the washington examiner. so the report has been open to public for a couple of months now. are we expecting that robert mueller is going to go well beyond what he said in that report? >> no. i think there's no indication
3:31 pm
whatsoever that he's really going to go much further than the confines of that report, that 448-page report that he had issued. and he has said as much, and he was reticent even to testify before capitol hill. so i think that it'll probably be a little bit less of an exciting event or, you know, i don't think anything huge is going to come that's beyond what's already been published in this report. jon: well, he doesn't seem to want to testify, but democrats who run the house seem to want to compel that testimony. what are they hoping to get out of it? >> they're hoping to get some sort of bombshell. i think they're trying to -- they're going to nail him on, grill him on questions regarding further details of what's laid out in there. is and i think they're going to really just go after the ten different instances of possible collusion that he laid out in the report, and they're really just hoping to find something that they can tether to attack president trump with and, hopefully for them, in terms of
3:32 pm
their own political -- what their own political ambitions are, to make the president look bad. jon: adam schiff in particular is a democrat, a california congressman, who has been particularly tough on the president overall. listen to what he had to say. >> it's been clear, you know, from bob mueller that he felt and the justice department feels bound by this office of legal counsel opinion that you can't indict a sitting president. but he has a, essentially, unindicted co-conspirator. the case will be reopened when he leaves office providing the statute of limitations has not run, and the justice department will have to weigh whether to indict do the former president. from my point of view, if the evidence supports that, the he should be indicted. jon: so adam schiff, obviously, thinks that the president should be indicted when he leaves office. what do the american people think about all of that? >> well, it's interesting. there was a recent poll that was conducted by cbs at the end of may, kind of the outside of all
3:33 pm
of this stuff that was going on with the investigation. and it kind of found an interesting sort of split. about 75% of americans believe that mueller should testify before capitol hill, but only -- but 53%, or a majority of americans, don't believe the democrats should continue investigating this whole russia stuff, and they would rather them move on to other more pertinent issues like immigration, the economy, job creation, etc. so i think it'll be interesting to see what turns out from the actual testimony, and i really don't think it's going to be all too much. jon: you mentioned earlier that robert mueller doesn't particularly seem to want to testify, but he has been compelled by house democrats. here's what mueller himself had to say on that score. >> i hope and expect this to be the only time that i will speak to you in this manner. i am making that decision myself. any testimony from this office would not go beyond our report.
3:34 pm
it contains our findings and analysis and the reasons for the decisions we made. we chose those words carefully, and the work speaks for itself. and the report is my testimony. jon: so it would seem if he's not going to go beyond what is in his report, democrats are going to be left sorely disappointed. >> that's what one could argue, and it'll be, again, no one really knows what's going to happen once they start asking him questions, but mueller is notoriously well known for kind of holding that veil of, holding that line and not really leaking to press. mean, during the investigation just seeing him in public and getting photos was a newsworthy event. he's been holding everything chose to belt, and i think it will continue to do so as this testimony heats up. jon: yeah. for his part, the president seems unperturbed about anything that robert mueller might say.
3:35 pm
here's what the president had to say on friday. >> as far as i'm concerned, they already took their impeachment vote, and the impeachment vote was so lopsided, it was a massive victory. and and you know what? at some point they have to stop playing games, because they're just playing games. no, i won't be watching mueller. jon: i mean, if the house wanted to impeach the president, nancy pelosi could have gotten that ball rolling already, could she not? >> she could have, but there's also some internal struggles within democratic leadership there. it's been well reported that her and house judiciary chairman jerry nadler kind of have differing views on how to go about this whole impeachment deal. and with nadler actually asking pelosi in closed door meetingsings multiple times whether or not she would be ready to start an impeachment inquiry, every time pelosi has rebuffed those calls by nadler. so there's a little bit of
3:36 pm
in-fighting there, but pelosi 's holding the strings on this whole thing. jon: zachary, thank you. >> thanks for having me, or jon. jon: meanwhile, court records released thursday suggest that president trump and his close aides scrambled to pay adult film star stormy daniels to keep quiet about an alleged affair in the weeks before the 2016 election. those documents made public as federal prosecutors close their investigation with no plans to charge anyone in the scandal beyond president trump's former attorney, michael cohen. rick leventhal has that story. >> reporter: details of the investigation that sent the president's former fixer, michael cohen, to prison are now public with a federal judge's order unredacting most of the 900 pages of documents related to his case. [inaudible conversations] >> reporter: much of the material focuses on payments orchestrated by cohen to porn star stephanie clifford, also known as stormy daniels, and former playboy playmate karen

mcdougal who both alleged affairs with donald trump years before the 2016 election. the negotiations between cohen's and ooh clifford's attorney over a $130,000 payment which the fbi says was intended to keep clifford from making statements on the eve of the 2016 presidential election and, thus the, constitutes a campaign contribution in excess of the applicable limit. the unredacted documents also suggest then-candidate trump was involved in at least one of the phone calls with cohen and hope hicks who is now chief communications officer for fox corporation. with the fbi determining cohen received a call from hicks. 15 seconds in, trump joined the call and the call continued for over four minutes. cohen sent himself drafts of e-mails of how he'd explain the payments when asked. he wrote: i knew the allegation to be false adding, he was not

reimbursed any monies from mr. trump, the trump organization, any third party or the presidential campaign, and at no point did he ever advise mr. trump of my communications or actions regarding this agreement. under oath can cohen admitted he was reimbursed and claimed mr. trump knew all about the deals. the president has denied the affairs and any campaign finance violations. and in the newly-released documents, federal prosecutors suggest it's unlikely any additional charges would be filed in the hush money investigation. in new york, rick leventhal, fox news. jon: new footage shows the dramatic moment iranian troops rappeled from a helicopter and seized a british-flagged oil tanker. the tension situation began friday in the strait of hormuz. >> reporter: information today is shedding light on the iranian seizure of a british oil tanker on friday. newly-released video shows a dramatic scene as iranian troops rappel from a helicopter to board the british-flagged vessel
3:39 pm
that was carrying no cargo, but had a crew of 23 people onboard. radio transmissions between the british and iranians paint a picture about how the event unfolded as the iranian military vessel demands that the british tanker alter its course. >> reporter: the british tanker was ultimately taken into iranian custody where it remains. britain's foreign minister, jeremy hunt, called on the tanker to be released after saying the seizure appears to be a tit for tat situation after the british detained an iranian oil tanker earlier this month suspected of trying to deliver oil to syria. britain's defense secretary said that iran taking the british tanker was illegal. >> it is absolutely clear, i spoke to our maritime commander
