we begin with a fox news alert it is decision day on the Iran nuclear
deal President Trump set to announce whether he will follow
through on his threat pull out of that landmark agreement negotiated by his
predecessor good morning to you I'm John Scott and I'm Melissa Francis big days
so will he mix it or fix it less than three hours from now the president will
reveal his plan for the Iran deal an agreement he's blasted for years calling
it a disaster among other things are you or P and allies still strongly back this
agreement which could collapse if the u.s. withdraws well critics cite very
real concerns about trusting Iran the Iranians have been lying lie every time
their lips move they're lying the Iranians were working with the North
Koreans until just a few weeks ago on their nuclear program and their ICBM
program and the Europeans who simply want to get keep things as they are for
the trade value the fact is if we sanction them again we ought to sanction
anybody else who does business with them that'll stop the euros from helping to
bail them out while they cheat on this program chief White House correspondent
John Roberts is live with more John John good morning to you gauging
the percentages between Nick's or fix Nick's would appear to have the edge
right now that the president would still like to fix it the overall with a deal
that takes care of everything that Iran is accused of doing its
short-term nuclear program its long-term nuclear program its ballistic missile
program and its destabilizing behavior the White House is playing this one very
close to the best today we do know that the president within the last hour spoke
to French President Emmanuel macron and we understand that the jcpoa joint
comprehensive plan of action was the centerpiece of that phone call the
president also spoke to President Xi of China this morning the jcpoa might have
come up at that phone call we're told was mostly about trade and North Korea
certainly though the president has made no secret of the fact that he does not
like this deal and indications are at this point that he will not sign a new
waiver of sanctions the waivers that he and the president obama had signed every
90 days under the terms of the agreement of this deal and
that could begin the process of the United States pulling out of the joint
comprehensive plan of action White House legislative affairs director mark short
saying as some saying a short time ago here on fox news that it would be no
surprise if the president pulled out listen it's kind of hard to think that
Iran is following the the spirit of the deal and so I think the president has
been clear about his demands for for a better deal and I think that he will
make his case to the American people today the idea that Iran is cheating on
this deal took on new life after the Israeli prime minister last week laid
out intelligence and evidence that Iran had a secret program to build a nuclear
weapon still there's a difference of opinion in how to deal with this in the
administration Mike Pompeo the newly minted Secretary of State John Bolton
the national security adviser both in favor of pulling out James Madison
secretary defense thinks it would be better to stay in the president has also
heard from our European allies French President McCrone a couple of weeks ago
and again on the telephone this morning Angela Merkel the Chancellor of Germany
Teresa made the UK prime minister all urging him to stay in and then seek a
second deal to deal with those other three items that I talked about Iran
threatening to restart its nuclear program if the u.s. pulls out of the
jcpoa when he met with president Park rone last month the president warned
Iran against doing that listen here won't be so easy for them to restart
this president they're not going to be restarting anything they restarted
taking up big problems bigger than they've ever had before and you can mark
it down they restart their nuclear program they will have bigger problems
than they have ever had before thank you very much everybody
the president also taking aim at former Secretary of State John Kerry after
reports that he has been engaging in below the radar contacts with Iranian
and European leaders about the deal the president this morning saying John Kerry
has to get off the stage quote John Kerry can't get over the fact that he
had his chance and blew it stay away from negotiations John you are hurting
our country the president has been given a range of options on what to do from
his advisors I'm being told that he went through a very methodical
decision-making process and John today decision day two o'clock this afternoon
and we will have that live obviously John Roberts our chief White House
correspondent Thank You thanks New York's Attorney General resigning after
a stunning report in which four women accused him of the salting them well
they were romantically involved with him the Manhattan district attorney opening
a criminal investigation into Eric Schneiderman who had been a high-profile
advocate for women's issues in a fierce opponent of President Trump Laura Engel
is live in our newsroom with more on this Laura hi Melissa well the details
of the New York Attorney General's alleged misdeeds were revealed last
night in a searing article put out by the New Yorker for women alleged
Sneiderman slapped choked and abused them while they were in a romantic
relationship with him or had an encounter with him and two of the women
who went on the record say they had to receive medical attention after their
encounters which they described as assault happened
the NYPD tells Fox they have no record of any complaints filed by the women who
both told The New Yorker they were too frightened to come forward because
Schneiderman warned them he could have them followed their phones tapped and he
threatened to quote kill them if they broke up with him after last night's
story broke Nidoran issued the following statement in the privacy of intimate
relationships I have engaged in role-playing and other consensual sexual
activity I have not assaulted anyone I have never
engaged in non-consensual sex which is a line I would not cross Snyderman
resigned and stepped down saying the allegations would be too much of a
distraction for him to continue after quickly losing the support of Democratic
leaders including Governor Andrew Cuomo who spoke out this morning
listen change comes when people demand change and change comes when the problem
is revealed and exposed that is always step one if true the ironic twist
becomes his role as an outspoken figure in the need to movement against sexual
harassment which angered at least two of his accusers all
so in 2016 his office published a know your rights brochure for victims of
domestic violence and in 2010 when he was a state senator from Manhattan he
introduced a bill to contention 'el strangulation of violent felony
Solicitor General Barbara Underwood will take over for now and an interim
replacement will be chosen by the state legislature with voters deciding on a
new Attorney General in November it goes on Melissa Wow
Laura Ingalls thank you thanks for more let's bring in John McCormick senior
writer for the Weekly Standard I mean what a 24-hours the allegations come out
John the governor goes after the Attorney General and the Attorney
General tenders his resignation it doesn't usually happen that quickly not
usually but these were really some pretty horrific allegations for all the
everything that meets who has brought to light the allegations of slapping
choking multiple allegations multiple people confirming that these stories
were told at the time really hard to see how it would have played out any
differently so first I think you just have to to praise the victims here for
speaking out in the journalists who help them tell their story you know what one
thing that it underscored for me is reading my part where one of the alleged
victims says that her friends urged her not to come forward because Schneider
was simply too important of a democratic politician and so that just really
underscored the fact that you know the poison of partisanship or tribalism it
really in fact either party whether that's Democrats who originally defended
people like you know dismissed allegations against Bill Clinton or
Republicans who dismissed them against Roy Moore or even Donald Trump so I
think that is one lesson to take away from this yeah Trump obviously no fan of
Schneiderman Schneiderman was going after Trump all in court on several
issues but it brings to light this tweet the Donald Trump sent out in 2013 so
we're talking five years ago he writes Weiner is gone Spitzer is gone
next will be lightweight Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is he a crook
wait and see worse than Spitzer or Weiner that was put out on September
11th which has its own hallmarks of 2013 do you know anything about
the now president knew them I do not so you don't know if that was speculation
or if he had heard a rumor or if you had heard something more than that when you
put that out what you see a lot of Democrats saying now is they're saying
hey Al Franken for very for much much much less worse things he's gone you
know now Schneiderman for very horrific allegations is gone well people like in
Missouri there are very horrific allegations against the Missouri
Republican governor Eric Greitens who is refusing to step down you know they
would point out that multiple allegations of you know sexual assaults
against sitting president Republican president Donald Trump he is still in
office so I think that you'll have both sides you know pointing fingers here but
what really underscores is not this isn't a partisan issue that that
malfeasance can can occur near the party and as you point out hats off to Ronan
Farrow who is the guy who exposed Harvey Weinstein and and now it's the Attorney
General of the state of New York yeah he's in a really excellent job I think
Jane Mayer also working the story you know he without without a dog and
journalists to help these stories come to light even with the bravery of the
victims you don't know if they ever would have felt comfortable enough to
have spoken out I think in many of these cases especially the Weinstein case that
they wouldn't have I think and in terms of the political impact of this you know
I don't know if this will have any impact on New York politics
Governor Cuomo spoke out very quickly calling for Schneiderman's resignation
Cuomo does face a primary challenge from the left from a feminist Cynthia Nixon
so you wonder if this just sort of maybe alter the environment the way people and
viewing this race and maybe just think they're sick of the whole system and
they want someone fresh that could have an impact helping someone like some yeah
because the the early polls showed are way behind but that race is getting a
bit tighter so kind of interesting to watch and we will be John McCormick from
the Weekly Standard John thank you thank you Attorney General Jack sessions with
some very tough talk on immigration what he's now threatening to do to those who
enter this country illegally pussy I age nominee Gina Haskell back on the Conn
Capitol Hill ahead of tomorrow's confirmation hearing why some charge
she's the target of a smear campaign by Democrats as the White House back sir to
the hill we wanted to get a fair hearing a thorough hearing and we're very
confident that not only will all of the members of the Senate see what the rest
of us see and certainly even some of the people that have held that position see
but that G knows more than qualified to to run Italy the agency
