congress devin nunes will be here in a moment with a lot more. and how james comey, hillary clinton and the obama administration and their best friends, their media mob worked in concert to create and perpetrate a hoke against donald trump and you, we the american people. before we get to that breaking news, i want you to listen closely. i know you won't hear this good news from any other news source: today's economic news is more than phenomenal. we have an economy that is booming like never before. look at these numbers. they speak for themselves. unemployment 3.6%. that's a 49 year low. we are witnessing the lowest hispanic unemployment ever in our history. historic lows for women in the workplace. african-americans, asian-americans, and youth unemployment. record levels of jobs for high school dropouts and those without a college education. nationwide income significant increases. the stock market is soaring. the u.s. is a net export or of oil and gas. energy independent for the first time in 75 years. that's a major national security win. ag

joining us to explain is congressman devin nunes. thank you. the breaking news. i have the full copy of your letter right here. rather than me explaining it, it would be best if you do. >> it's great that you remember the story. after the mueller report, which i called the mueller dossier dame out. -- came out. i said we would comb through. it they used a guardian news report to claim that the campus was a place where misfud worked. what they failed to say is that misfud was actually related to italian intelligence services. if you are mueller you have to put the entire piece before the american people. we not do that. we are calling him out. this is not how investigations are supposed to be be run. when you look into misfud closer you realize he is connected with all kinds of intelligence agency including our own fbi. in that letter, sean, you will see there are pictures with fbi agents at the campus where misfud teaches at. we will sum it up. we want to know every document these agencies have relateed to misfud. if he is a russian agent, it would be one of the

in the course of the next hour you will hear from congressman devin nunes, breaking news. congressman mark not most, he will break news. senator lindsey graham will break news. lara trump will join us, sara carter, much more. before all of that, we begin with breaking news from "the hill"'s john solomon, investigative reporter. hours ago he made a very important legal filing in his very own name demanding the release of records surrounding the carter page vice application and the three subsequent renewals. solomon is now on a mission to determine how an american citizen was spied on by our federal government with a wind that was based on phony campaign, russian lies, op research, and paid for by the leader of the opposition party right before an election. the motion, solomon writes the following "the fbi, the doj, and any other governmental agencies for welcome public disclosure of findings of attorney misconduct so they can be addressed." and so proper can be put in place so that it such misconduct doesn't happen again." we are now fully exposing the single biggest abuse

joining us to explain his congressman devin nunes himself. thank you. last minute, we appreciate it. the breaking news. rather than me -- i have the copy of your letter right here but rather than me explaining it, i think it would be best if you did. >> it's great that you remember the story. if you recall, after the mueller report, which i call the mueller dossier, came out, i said we were going to comb through it. one of the first things that we found is they used a news report, a "guardian" news report to claim that the link campus was a place where misfud had worked. what they found to say in it -- failed to say on that same report is that misfud was actually related to italian intelligence services. so you can't -- if you are mueller, you don't get to just report part of what is in the story. you have to put the entire piece before the american people. he didn't do that. we are calling him out. this is not how investigations are supposed to be run. when you look into misfud close closer, you realize that he is connected with all kinds of intelligen

why is devin nunes going along with you in this? is it because you as the intelligence committee have oversight over counselter intelligence issues? >> i think the law is require. it requires the intelligence community and the department of justice to keep us fully and currently informed of any significant counter intelligence activity. it's hard to imagine a more significant counter intelligence investigation in our history. this began not as a criminal investigation but as a counter intelligence investigation to determine whether individuals were acting as w witting or unwitting agents of a foreign power and that includes the president. i think we both recognize they must comply. it's going to be a lot more difficult in respect to our request for the administration to say this just a democratic partisan thing. when you do have both members who are otherwise in strong disagreement about the russia investigation uniting around this demand for information. >> just to nail this down, so for they have refused you and devin nunes reques

in the course of the next hour, you will hear from congressman devin nunes, he's breaking news. congressman mark meadows, he smwill break news. senator lindsey graham will break news. lara trump will join us, sara carter, much more. before all of that, we. begin with breaking news from "the hill"'s john solomon, investigative reporter. hours ago, he made a very important legal filing in his very ownwn name demanding the release of records surrounding the carter page fisa application and the three subsequent renewals. solomon is now on a mission to determine how an american citizen was spied on by our federal government with a warrant that was based on phony, campaign, russian lies, op research, oh, and paid for by the leader of the opposition party right before an election. in the motion, solomon writes the following, "the fbi, the doj,th and any other governmentl agencies should welcome public disclosure of findings of attorney misconduct so they can be addressed. and so proper procedures can be put in place so that it such misconduct never happens again." i said it before, i'l

by the way, devin nunes will be here in just moments. he would be afraid to answer questions like this to mueller. "when did you know there was no collusion?" by the way, if you had all this time to investigate, taxi medallions, loan applications, deck decades old taxing returns, how did you have no time to investigate the origins of hillary clinton's dirty russian dos here which was used to commit a premeditated fraud on the pfizer court, undermine a duly elected president after an attempt to steal an election election. also to disseminate russian lies to the american people and spy on the trump campaign, which as "the new york times" reported, that dossier was likely russian disinformation from the very beginning. mr. mueller, why did you hire a team of partisan democrats, not a single republican -- you couldn't find one? no one? why would you ever hire a guy, your pit bull, by the name of andrew weissmann, a guy who has a horrific history of abuse of power. remember commit in the powells book, "license to lie," exculpatory evidence. w

joining us now, house intelligence committee t republican congressman devin nunes. it is now inevitable, congressman.n. it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. we have talked about five separate buckets. we talked about the fisa applications, 303s, exculpatory evidence, more. now the president the classifieds, the game changer, the ig report, and mr. durham, and john huber, and the attorney general. tell us what you see unfolding and when. >> i want to start to make sure what mueller did yesterday, i thought you did a pretty good job but people forget one important point. mueller tried to do this a victory lap.t he tried to talk about the russians they found, the russians they prosecuted.. i want to remind people that the house republicans on the intelligence committee had that over a year ago. and mueller, if he's so concerned about these russians, why did they obstruct our report from getting out? so our report is still heavily redacted, sean. >> sean: can the president declassify that? >> so mueller -- exactly right, he lit the fuse. the president can dec

jason, they will have a lot to answer for, and devin nunes is 100% right. he says, comey better watch it because he's going to be at the center of this because he signed those fisa warrant applications. >> jason: congressman turner, i had the pleasure of serving with you in the congress for a number of years. you've been on the intel committee for a number of years. your perspective is very important. i know it is somewhat limited because of what you can enter publicly. nevertheless, john ratcliffe, your colleague also on the intel committee, has says that application, at the very top, it says it verified application. that is how it is titled. verified application. what are we to read into alls this new information, new news, watch devin nunes is telling us as well? >> what is interesting about this people dull my publicity to or from all these characters, certainly, baker statement that supports something in a footnote is a red light, that is laughable. as we know, putting something in a footnote is how you bury something. the fact that he says i that the

there was a multiprong effort from the president and there was for the first two years that devin nunes controlled that house intel committee, he declassified the fisa applications over the objection of the fbi. it brings into -- we'll talk about this more, but why is the attorney general saying there hasn't been investigation, devin nunes spent two years in collusion with the white house investigating and trying to real undermine the fbi and the original russia investigation. >> sure. there have been a number of examples. even chairman burr at times -- >> back channel to mcgahn. >> helping to the white house to get them ahead on the probes to try to slow them down at the most generous reading of that. i think these are questions that will hopefully be answered in the weeks to come. this is a story with a lot of tentacles and it's still sprawling. the president's affection for flynn is well known. the theories you purported are right but also flynn was there day after day on the campaign trail and his traveling companion, the president grew found of him. and flynn was the one who led th

congressman dan kildee and the ranking member, devin nunes. as we give them them into position right now, i'm always very transparent about this, as well. in addition to that, we are waiting also to hear from the president of the united states a little bit later today on ruling out his immigration plan, which is where congressman nunes and i first began. across from the political aisle, democrat gannon don't like dan kildee, a member of the ways and means committee. we just talked with congressman nunes about documents and that we are talking about tax returns. what is the next step in all of this? >> the chairman's of the committee has issued a subpoena to enforce his authority under the irs codes. protection 6103. i have heard from the chairman, he has been very focused on this. he intends to pursue every avenue to support the subpoena. my expectation is, just from the signals we are getting, this initiation will continue to resist. in all likelihood, ultimately this will be resolved the weight disputes between the two branches should be res

devin nunes spent two years questioning and trying to undermine the fbi and original russia investigation. >> yours is one of the best examples, but even the chairman had a back handle to the white house to help on the probes, to slow them down at the most generous reading of that. i think that that is -- you know, these are questions that will hopefully be answered in weeks to come. it is a story with a lot of tentacles, still sprawling. you're right, the president's affection for flynn is well-known. the theories you have all floated are right i think, but also that flynn was there day after day on the campaign trail, was his attack dog. let's remember, his constant traveling companion. the president really sort of grew fond of him there. remember, flynn was the first one who led the lock her up chant that came at the republican convention in cleveland that summer. >> that's a perfect place to hit pause because all of this information came out in the context of flynn's sentencing where he is hoping not to be slo locked up himself. after the break, donald trump turns up the volume on his

joining us, the ranking member of the house intel committee, congressman devin nunes of california. good to see you. all of these gop investigators starting with ratcliffe and people like lindsey graham and yourself, you're saying there's classified documents that will expose the misuse, the knowing misuse of the steele dossier, especially as relates to the fisa applications. can you tell us more? >> i'll start with, we want this information out. let me say in two tranches of what we're looking for. number 1, there's what we call information on papadopoulos that we believe is exculpatory that should have been out there. let's set that aside. the other set is -- >> sean: slow down. where is that exculpatory evidence? >> it rests at the fbi. we've been asking for it to be declassified. that's all i can say about it. it's exculpatory evidence that should be provided to the american public. on the fisa application, remember, you have comey who has called this a mosaic. so comey's mosaic. remember when we came out with our memo that brought forward the fact that they had used the clinton

i think this is what devin nunes wants to find out. this is what senator grassley as well as senator graham are looking into. how many people within that sphere were actually utilized. because every day we find more and more information that points in that direction. that, our -- >> sean: knowing just what we know -- knowing just what we know does exist, and that is coming out, to what extent will the conscience of the american people in your view be shocked? >> they will be extraordinarily shocked. this is going to be an avalanche of information. people will be indicted because of this. i think that, you know, we could see the intensity with attorney general william barr during his testimony. he would not be that intense, he would not be that adamant if he didn't know something more. >> sean: greed. >> i believe there are ongoing investigations. >> sean: that's coming. tick-tock. last question for you, mark penn. so every day between now and election day 2020, your party -- i say that respectfully -- you're not your party, they focus

devin nunes is 100% right here when he says that comey better watch it because he is boeing to be at the center of this. because he signed those fisa warrant applications. >> congressman turner, i had the pleasure of serving with you in well in the congress for a number of years. you have been on the intel committee for a number of years, too. your perspective is important. i know it's somewhat limited because of what you can share publicly. but john ratcliff also on the committee says at the top of the application says, "verified application." that is how is it titled. "verified application." what are we to read in the new information and the new news and what devin nunes is telling us as well? >> well, what is interesting about this publicity tour, this is baker's statement to put something in a footnote is a red light. it's just laughable. as we know. putting something in a footnote is how you bury something. the fact he says that the wording is what they'd normally use. you know a judge would have wanted to know this is an application to spy on one campaign based on material that

joining me now devin nunes ranking member of intel committee, and former whitewater deputy council, does any of this matter come a big shock that you "new york times" is desperate to bring up 30-year-old losses in atlantic city, i guess. but does any of this matter? how did they get tax transcripts do you think? >> devin: two different questions but i suppose it matters to some people but is but is anybody surprised donald trump lost a lot of money in the '80s, '90s and may not be congruent with what he said he made or lost? i don't think so. but i do think you put your finger on the real news here. once again, something was leaked that shouldn't be leaked. according to that story, the times said they cut the tax documents from somebody who had legal access to them, that doesn't tell us someone from the government illegally leaked them or somebody for mr. trump violated professional confidential relations. but either way, it is unfortunate. >> laura: congressman nunez come i have to get to another point. we had a big piece today, a big push by some in congress and to hold barr into conte

when devin nunes was attacking the fbi, burr kept his distance. >> the unmasking thing was all created by devin nunes. >> reporter: burr tried to maintain bipartisanship, running the investigation alongside mark warner. that has been tested, especially when burr asserted this in february. >> we have no facttual evidence of collusion between the trump campaign and russia. >> he said, respectfully, i disagree. the white house counsel's office appeared to have received information but the status of the fbi investigation from burr. in march, 2017, after then fbi director, james comey believed congressional leaders. burr said he did not brief the white house about the fbi's probe into the trump am cane. burr said he won't run for re-election when his term is up in 2022, giving him more freedom over the subpoena to trump jr., which burr does not want to talk about. >> will you hold anyone in contempt? they seem to think your subpoena is voluntary? is the subpoena voluntary? >> reporter: richard burr showing no signs he is going down behind closed doors. he tried to explain why he is pursuing

i'm talking specifically about representative devin nunes, and you know, essentially cherry-picking intelligence to paint the narrative. that causes a lot of heartburn, a lot of concerns, or at least it should for the american people, that this would be done independly. >> i thought of devin nunes when this news broke because he used that house rule to declassify selectively and did something we haven't seen in a long time with that. just to josh's point about giving an attorney general sweeping powers like this, that's questionable in an of -- >> of course it is. >> but what about giving this attorney general those sweeping powers? >> it's very questionable. first of all, let's look at the timing. this happened right after his little spat, you want to call it that, with nancy pelosi. so, this looks like it's payback for that. >> then you look at what's going to happen with now giving this increased power. they're going to go right into the fisa warrants. remember those fisa warrants? >> with carter page. >> with carter page, right. those didn't just come out of nothing. those were three judges

. >> the unmasking thing was all created by devin nunes. >> reporter: burr has tried to maintain the image of bipartisanship while running the investigation alongside democrat mark warner. yet that has recently been tested. especially when burr asserted this in february. >> we have no factual evidence of collusion between the trump campaign and russia. >> reporter: warner responded saying respectfully, i disagree. moreover, the mueller report said the white house counsel's office appeared to have received information, but the status of the fbi investigation from burr in march 2017 after then-fbi director james comey had briefed congressional leaders. democrats raised concerns about that revelation yet burr told cnn he did not brief the white house about the fbi's probe into the trump campaign. burr has said he won't run for re-election when his term is up in 2022, giving him more freedom amid the gop attacks over his subpoena to trump junior, which burr does not want to talk about. >> will you hold someone in contempt -- >> i won't take any questions. >> because they seem to think yo

does that mean congressional staff in does that mean devin nunes best friend? what is that? that congress word jumped out at me like the most enormous possibility in there. >> exactly. who connected to congress, with congressional reference is contacting michael flynn about his cooperation? i mean, you know, there's been some intriguing stuff about members of congress in the manafort prosecution, there was redacted stuff that seemed to indicate beside with congressional connections may have done bad stuff, there's this reference in terms of somebody related to congress having taken part in what appears to be an obstructive effort in getting flynn not to cooperate. i don't know, there's 14 redacted cases that or 12 of the 14 cases that derive from mueller's prosecution that were referred to other prosecutors are ones we haven't seen. the possibility that zoom of that has something to do with people in congress is mind bending. > i've got a suspects list in my head right now. we're going to save that for later. thank you, raich. >> thanks, lawrence. >> the trump trade wars are

also house intel committee ranking member devin nunes spoke about the spying during 2016 campaign with me yesterday. you working for ben carson, you're in touch with trump campaign and then ben carson drops out in january 2016, so you are left without working, you don't have a job and somebody reaches out to you on linkedin, tell me about that. >> yeah, absolutely, so i was contacted by this company called the london ken -- and they contacted me out of the blue and waited for me to come and i didn't think too much of it and i went over there and this company ended up being on some sort of spark that ended up probably changing my life and the last two years of this country. maria: do you believe that the fbi had all of these sources out to entrap people from the trump campaign so that they could claim that there was a conspiracy that donald trump was colluding with the russians? >> remember what i said on your show last year. maria: yeah. >> i think i said it first on the show as i recall, i said i'm not worried about whether or not they were spying on the trump campaign, that is a fact

for more on this, devin nunes will be on "mornings with maria," 8:30 a.m. this morning. cheryl: well, attorney general william barr sitting down with fox news' bill hemer for an exclusive interview, he said he's trying to get to the bomb bo tom of what happened with the russia investigation. >> i've also found that some of the explanations i've gotten don't hang together. in a sense, i have more questions today than i did when i first started. >> some of what things don't hang together? >> some of the explanations of what occurred. >> why does that matter? >> because i think people have to find out what the government was doing during that period. if we're worried about foreign influence for the very same reason we should be worried about whether government officials abused their power and put their thumb on the scale. cheryl: you can watch the full interview at 9:00 a.m. today on the fox news channel. lauren: an f-16 jet crashed through the roof of a building at an air reserve base in california, injuring 12 people. the pilot managed to eject and escaped injury. the tru

the ranking member, devin nunes and the intel committee did several referrals to the doj. they talked about the actors involved in this. how did we get to where we are today? and if there was political misrepresentation going on in the department of justice, the american people have every right to know that was going on and the people doing that have every right for justice to be served. >> what would that look like? what is the penalty for that? >> well, the attorney general barr and dodge would i assume get a grand junior i believe involved and do indictments on whatever crimes they believe were committed. >> how soon do you think we'll see some of these documents? have you heard anything? the president said he was releasing them and now we know that means that he was allowing bar to release them. have you heard any scuttlebutt about a timetable? >> i have not. the judiciary committee has not. attorney general barr said the i.g. investigation that was going to investigate these acts, we would hear in may or june time frame. so i hope we find out soon. if there's document

a letter from devin nunes surrounding a shady foreign figure named joseph misfud who is linked to the origins of the fbi's russia witch hunt. mueller portrayed him as an academic with ties to russian intelligence committee. the letter makes clear me may have connections to russian governments. that raises questions about how the russian investigation got started and how intelligence so

lindsey graham is focussed on it, but i'm not sure that as devin nunes was going down all of this when republicans controlled the house we ever thought it would get to this point. now it seems that sarah sanders sukt suggested to chuck in that interview that if bill barr doesn't find in his favor he's not going to believe what he finds. >> remember the devin nunes memo, and the concern now you have the attorney general, he won't have to get permission from the intelligence community to declassify what he wants to. this idea you would be subverting the intelligence community which is something that unnerves national security officials because in that scenario they're no longer in charge of our nation's secrets. unfortunately for democrats in congress this isn't something they can provide meaningful oversight over. the reason why the administration has a flat no we're not going to cooperate with you at any turn policy, especially with the house intelligence committee, chairman schiff has vowed to do this, but i don't see a lane to success. >> we're reporters, we're all for government tra

i think that's where people like devin nunes and others are looking into to find out if this was an orchestrated event surrounding me. >> all i know is what i read in this puppy. the mueller report. i've got my bound version, as a matter of fact. to the mueller report, you're acquainted with mehsud. they've got dirt on hillary. you go out and get hammered one night. tell the russian, hey, russia is sitting on this information about hillary. then comes the wikileaks dump. and in that situation, knowing you got carter page, paul manafort, mike flynn all out there with these contacts, why shouldn't the fbi have pursued that lead? >> okay. as i stated that was the gold narrative. and you're right about manafort and page and ties to russia. look, i testified to congress about six months ago where we actually were discussing people like alex. if you look carefully through my transcripts you'll see this is not a random concerned diplomat meeting with me. he was actually an asset sent to make contact with me. just looking at my testimony from congress, i'm sure that information will be revealed after ce

i think it has to do with the person, joseph, who the president and devin nunes and other people have been asking to examine more. he's at the core of this scam. >> laura: people forget about this figure. it starts to read like a john lecarre novel. you've heard the democrats. they're saying this was well predicated, brennan last night we'll play the video. he was on television last night again. and claiming that this was all -- this was all cope a static watch . >> i think it's important there's an understanding how strongly predicated that investigation was. i was there in the summer of '16, it was well predicated. >> laura: well predicated george? >> i want to make it clear, by the time i joined the trump campaign before my name was public, an fbi intermediary at a company i used to work for in london introduced me to this person that at a school, which the cia and fbi trains at. fast forward to april 2016, i'm the australian government is reaching out trying to connect with me, 10 downing street, and then which i find suspicious is that the dia reached out to me at the u.s. embass

congressman devin nunes of california, who is the top republican on the house intelligence committee, has been pushing for this. last night he defended the president by saying because he is the president of the united states, he is the one that can ultimately determine who can be declassified or not. trace? >> yeah, blake, clearly democrats are not happy. how did they respond? >> the top democrat on the house intelligence commitsty is congressman adam schiff. he said what the president is engaging in is essentially political payback. we heard the president respond to that. in a statement earlier today, schiff said the following. he wrote "the president's order conferring new authorities over classified information held by the intelligence community is a corrupt escalation of the president's intention with the assistance of the attorney general to weaponize and politicize the nation's intelligence and law enforcement entities." schiff also called what the president is doing "an abuse of power." we have heard democrats say similar things about the president now for about the last week o

. >> sean: actually, many republicans like devin nunes who will be joining us tonight, they have been warning about the russia threat for years. 2014, most recently. this all happened under your watch. and joe biden's and obama's watch. but it was then president obama laughing it off. tell him i will have more flexibility after the election. if you look at volume one of the mueller report, you will see it was the trump campaign that rebuffed russian operations every step of the way. and while it was the clinton campaign who actually paid for russian disinformation in the form of a dirty dossier full of russian lies. suggesting may be russian disinformation from the get-go. that dirty russian dossier that you, james clapper, allegedly linked to your current employer, fake new cnn. yeah, that one. the investigation into leaking is around the corner. of course, that's no concern of the house until chairman. that would be adam schiff, who doesn't seem to care about government linking. because he is on an all-consuming mission to smear, slander, besmirch the president of the united states

nunes, the ranking member have come together and now for the second time asked all counter intelligence materials associated with the mueller report. i think stlst a growing dissatisfaction with the president's behavior even among republicans. >> getting them to agree on anything is a miraculous thing. thank you very much. >>> next, is trump's personal attorney already colluding? rudy giuliani says he's pushing a foreign government to dig up dirt on joe biden. what is he thinking? >>> breaking news. tensions escalating in the middle east. the u.s. sending more patriot missiles to the region tonight. is trump on a collision course? >>> a former congresswoman who voted to impeach richard nixon talks about whether history is repeating itself. she's out front. [music playing] (vo) this is the averys. this is the averys trying the hottest new bistro. wait...and the hottest taqueria? and the hottest...what are those? oh, pierogis? and this is the averys wondering if eating out is eating into saving for their first home. this is jc... (team member) welcome to wells fargo, how may i help? (vo)

you're going to see from the top ranking republican on that committee, devin nunes, just a few minutes. but first, let's debate with chris hahn, and fox news contributor ari fleischer. great to have both of you with us tonight, gentlemen. to recap, sarah sanders says this about the declassification memo, "the attorney general has been delegated full and complete authority to declassify information pertaining to this investigation. today's action will help ensure that all americans learn the truth about the events of that occurred and the actions that were taken." isn't that, regardless of party, what everybody should want? speak of the president is taking this authority away from the director of national intelligence, dan coats, who hasn't always been on the se page with the president, and hes giving it to his loyal servant and basically his defense attorney, attorney general barr. i think all americans should be concerned about that. i want things it disclosed, i think we give barr too much stuff, i've said that before, but the reason the president is doing this is because he wants th

if you listen to what former chairman devin nunes, now the raging member on the intelligence committee is asking for is the fisa documents to be unclassified on carter page. also asking for emails between the doj and the fbi that they have seen, that they say will reveal that they knew that they were withholding information. and that being the doj and fbi were withholding information from the fifth court. this is essential. it is part of the exculpatory evidence that they are also asking for a period evidence that carter page and george papadopoulos and others have told the fbi that being stepped on helper, that they had nothing to do with russia and there was no connection between them and rush on the trump campaign, and they said this as they were being recorded. another piece of information that the congress is asking for is for bruce ohr's 302. those are the interviews that the fbi conducted with bruce ohr at the time. in the information that he would have. compiled us all together, and what you can see is that clapper, brennan, john brennan, clapper, and james comey are fighting b

. >> remember also, tucker, when devin nunes the chairman of the house intelligence committee was about to publish his report that contained a lot of information about how this investigation got started and whether or not there was the collusion that had been so often charged, he was going to include some classified information and went to the white house -- and all of the same people were wringing their hands and worrying about the loss of sources and methods. the report was published and we never heard another word did b. it. >> tucker: how many american assets were killed? >> none that we know of, that's for sure. and if it had happened, do you think the john brennans of the world would let us here about it, sure they would. >> tucker: should would he be nervous when news organizations hire people with stop secret clearances who are basically running interference for the permanent bureaucracy? >> particularly when the guy is the same guy who had to come on the air after the mueller report was released and try to explain how he got it all so wrong. he predicted there were further indi

in the course of the next hour you will hear from congressman devin nunes, breaking news. congressman mark not most, he will break news. senator lindsey graham will break news. lara trump will join us, sara carter, much more. before all of that, we begin with breaking news from "the hill"'s john solomon, investigative reporter. hours ago he made a very important legal filing in his very own name demanding the release of records surrounding the carter page vice application and the three subsequent renewals. solomon is now on a mission to determine how an american citizen was

nunes, some of yet unknown in the administration, he writes, the mind reels. what do you say to that, sean >> i think that with respect to flynn, two things come to mind. number one, the comment you played earlier about general flynn not being obama or somebody warning him, we have to remember the context it was infinite after democrat, president obama and the democrat accused him of all things on the campaign trail, he has a passing comment in a meeting, the intelligence briefs come up on january 6th, why didn't somebody pull them aside then. why didn't one of the intelligence chiefs, president, i need to speak with you privately, as he did on other matters. why did president obama not follow up with one of his chiefs? he made it clear that obama had fired flynn. clearly not a fan of him. >> martha: they differed on the strategy of the wreck in afghanistan. that's one of the parts. >> correct. it's very hard to turn around after a hard-fought campaign in which you've been very critical of someone and say, by the way, this is a visor that i fired that you brou

congressman devin nunes joins us live to talk about that. and his latest effort to get the fbi, cia, and others to cough up information about the origin of the russian probe. set up a secret meeting with nancy pelosi, saying the president is the one making it difficult to avoid talking about impeachment. plus, prepping congress about the situation with iran. a mile away from the u.s. embassy in iraq this weekend. hello and welcome to "fox news @ night." i'm shannon bream in washington. we begin tonight with breaking news from jerry nadler. good evening, david. >> hey, shannon. a lot of news tonight from the capital all the way to the white house. the clock is ticking. within the last 45 minutes, we got a hold of this letter from jerry nadler, warning him not to ignore a subpoena and skip that hearing tomorrow. he laid it out in three pages why he should show up in the morning. he use the words "serious consequences." they will block him from complying with the subpoena. he was supposed to testify tomorrow, but unless something changes in the

nunes. >> so, a.b. stoddard, that is the state of play tonight as we come on the air and then there is the matter of mr. barr. i'm going to play another bit of the interview in alaska with cbs news. this is about how barr responds to the current criticism. >> we live in a hyperpartisan age where people no longer really pay attention to the substance of what was said but to who says it and what side they're on and what its political ramifications are. i'm going to make the decision based on the law and the facts. i just think it goes with being the attorney general in a hyperpartisan period of time. >> so, a.b., you heard the man, it goes with the territory. nothing to see her would be another takeaway from that. yet, we had a former fed on this broadcast last night who was appointed by barr to her seat who called him straight up a liar. >> this whole tour that bill barr has done from as soon as he was confirmed as attorney general from the presentation of the summary of the mueller report to the press c

selective declassification has already been used here by congressman devin nunes when he was chairman of the house intelligence committee. you may remember the anti-trump bias and the russia investigation, or maybe you don't. there wasn't much to it in the end. how the selective release of information can work is none other than bill barr's piece meal. he quoted part one of a sentence making it seem trump's campaign had nothing to do with russia. weeks later we saw the complete sentence. it became clear this couldn't have been further from the truth. all of this comes in the context of the president claiming that the guy who used to run the fbi is guilty of treason, a crime punishable by death. >> the constitution said treason is punishable by death. you accused your adversaries of treason. who specifically are you accusing? >> a number of people. if you look, they have unsuccessfully tried to take down the wrong person. if you look at comey, if you look at mccabe and probably people higher than that. if you look at strzok. they wanted an insurance policy that should she lose, 100 mil

because devin nunes warned you all in 2014. so courageous, but fear not, uncle joe, on this program, while you obsess about impeachment, we will not let anyone forget. i will not listed tonight, but we will remind everybody about your failed economic legacy. 13 million more in poverty. 8 million more -- 13 million more on food stamps. 8 million more in poverty. we will get it out every night and all of the statistics that we have here, because it was the worst economy and worse recovery since he 'authorities. with the time that obama whispered that he had more flexibility with vladimir putin after the election. we will remind people of how you drop the ball and gave them $150 billion in cash and other currencies. oh, to the mullahs in iran for exchange for nothing but more threats of the destruction of america. busy news night, joining us now, fox news contributor sara carter, the hills john solomon. let's start with you, did you notice inside the body of the story that it contradicted the headline? >> yes, it felt like a straw

they did under devin nunes when he was chair of the intelligence committee. we will have to see what happens here. to where this started, this battle between mitch mcconnell and schumer, the answer is somewhere in the middle. i don't think the mueller report is indeed finalized and finish. but i think there are some more questions to be asked over what is the nature of obstruction of justice. how do we secure our elections in the next election coming up next year. the truth is really in the middle. can the senate come together to reinforce -- >> melissa: so levelheaded of you. so evenhanded! as they say, never want to bring this one in. we are pursuing this on the democratic side. the team was excited about the idea that perhaps the present was a russian agent. after that, any conclusion is a bit of a letdown. >> kennedy: yes, if you listen to andrew mccabe and adam schiff. he certainly was. there was absolute collusion paid you say the mueller report's and report isn't done, but is done. it's finish can be turned. william barr says, "it's my baby." he turns

we have in the studio tonight congressman devin nunes of california, obviously a long time member of the intel community. at the very center of a lot of the big stories of this moment. thank you very much for joining us. i want to ask you about something specific not directly related to your work in the house and that's the news today that the senate committee has subpoenaed donald trump jr. that committee run by senator burr of north carolina, and republican. why are your colleagues in the senate pursuing a story that we now know wasn't real? wise is continuing? >> i'm assuming that the senate numbers are so tight and so close with republicans versus democrats. and in the house, it's whoever has the gavel has all the power. in the senate, they have to have some type of agreement. i'm assuming that they believe they can -- if you can believe this, they are going to take cohen's word, cohen, who's in jail, they are going to take his word. i think they want to bring from jr. in from what i can tell to see if he will keep the same sty or admit to whether or not he talks to his father, b
