making former and current officials in the FBI after that scathing report from
the justices Justice Department's internal watchdog hello and welcome to a
brand new hour inside America's News headquarters on John Scott the president
lashing out at some of his favorite targets on Twitter including fired FBI
director James Comey along with FBI employees Peter struck and Lisa page
president Trump also addressing a crackdown on illegal immigration as his
administration comes under fire over reports of parents and children being
separated at the border the president lays the blame of the Democrats doorstep
while rallying his supporters yesterday we've got to change our laws the
Democrats have controlled because we don't have the votes the Republicans
need we need more Republicans frankly and that's why I think we're gonna do so
well in the midterms that and because wait that and because we have the
strongest economy in the history of our nation we have the best jobs numbers in
the last 44 years Garrett Teddy is live at the White House with more yea well
jhonny it has been a busy week here at the White House and there is no shortage
of issues to talk about so it it is telling that this morning the president
was again tweeting about the newly released report from the Inspector
General on the FBI's handling of the Clinton email investigation tweeting the
IG report totally destroys James Comey and all of his minions including the
great lovers Peter struck and Lisa Paige who started the disgraceful witch-hunt
against so many innocent people it will go down as a dark and dangerous period
in American history the IG report was highly critical of numerous FBI
officials including Peter struck and Lisa Paige who texted each other that
they would not allow candidate Trump to become president despite those
revelations the report did not find any evidence that those biases influence
decisions or actions the bureau took in the case a conclusion the president
strongly disagreed with well the end result was wrong I mean there was total
bias and then when you look at Peter struck and what he said about me when
you look at Comey all his moves so I get you know his interests he was a pretty
good rapport and then I say that the IG blew it at the very end with that
statement this is the first of several big reports were expecting including
special counsel Robert molars investigation into Russia's election
interference collusion with the Trump campaign and obstruction of justice I
think that the report yesterday maybe more importantly than anything it
totally exonerates me there was no collusion
there was no obstruction and if you read the report you'll see that and despite
that statement it's important to note that the IGS report that was released
this week was solely examining the FBI's handling of the Clinton email
investigation and it didn't look into touch or vindicate President Trump and
the special counsels investigation however it was highly critical of
several of many of James commis decisions in the handling of the Clinton
email case and those are some of the reasons that President Trump said he
fired James Comey ultimately so it does support the president in his decision to
fire James Comey John Garrett tinnie at the White House on this saturday garrett
thank you you got it here is a little bit more president Trump's reaction
yesterday to that bombshell DOJ internal watchdog report that is highly critical
of the FBI what you'll really say is you'll see bias against me and millions
and tens of millions of my followers if you look at the FBI and you went in and
you poll the FBI the real FBI those guys love me and I love that our next guest
will be one of the first lawmakers to question inspector general Michael
Horowitz when he testifies before the House Judiciary and oversight committees
on Tuesday joining me now Republican Congressman Mike Johnson of Louisiana a
member of the House Judiciary Committee and a former constitutional law attorney
so quite a resume for what is about to come what is question one for mr.
Horowitz the inspector general well we have a lot of questions for him this
this report really was a bombshell I think that's the right explanation in
summary of it it's over 500 pages it documents a lot of information and much
this we've been requesting through the House Judiciary Committee in the house
oversight committees going back since last fall we've just now seen some of
these revelations and they are really explosive so we have a lot of questions
for the director to go through the inspector general to go through and
explain more of what they found what why they don't believe that this really did
affect the outcome of the election and and that more more people should
probably lose their jobs at the FBI yeah well you seemed you seemed to have
some support in that from the Attorney General jeff Sessions before this report
was released he made a comment along those very lines listen to this if
anyone else shows up in this report to have done something that qua that a
requires termination we will do so so the Attorney General is threatening the
job losses could come as a result of this report who do you think you know
whose whose heads should be on the chopping block here in your opinion well
listen in the report we have a number of unnamed FBI agents and top officials
within the FBI and the DOJ who were involved in in what was an overt bias
and these are people who were in charge of the investigation the rush
investigation the Clinton email scandal it's a great concern at the end of the
day what this is about is maintaining the rule of law in a constitutional
republic like we have it the people presuppose that you're gonna have equal
justice under the law that the justice will be blinded there's not two
different standards one for people like the Clintons who are wealthy and
well-connected and one for everyone else we have to maintain that the faith in
that system and if we have to make some more heads roll so to speak well we'll
have to do that we have no choice in the matter Jim Jonsin your fellow Republican
congressman was on Neil Cavuto program on the on the Fox Business Network
earlier today he had some questions that he would like to ask in this upcoming
hearing that you're gonna get a chance to attend listen to this there's some
key questions like number one why is Peter struck still employed at the FBI I
mean all the other major players are going commis been fired deputy director
McCabe fired faces a criminal referral lied three
times under oath Jim Baker former general counsel is gone was demoted
he left the FBI Lisa page was demoted she's left the FBI Jim rebecky commis
chief chief of staff has also left the FBI why is Peter struck still there in
light of what we learned from the IGS report I think that's an important
question for mr. Bray and mr. Rosen Stein when they when they come in front
of Congress all right that was congressman Jim Jordan
so he says that you know Peter struck job in his view ought to be pretty
tenuous at the FBI what do you think no question about it I agree with Jim
wholeheartedly I mean Peter strong could get in the evidence in the inspector
general's report was was the main offender and he also happened to be in
charge of both of these investigations he slow-walked the Clinton investigation
after that the Weiner laptop was discovered and all the rest and and and
they over emphasized that really the attack I think that was involved with
President Trump in the Russian investigation he had a clear bias he
said it in his own words and we really like to question him as well but there's
I think there's no no question about it that he needs to be removed from the FBI
because again it goes to the people's faith in our very system yeah he says he
promised in one of those texts he vowed that he was going to stop Trump from
becoming president you're a constitutional law professor or were
before he entered Congress when you have agents of you know a federal agency
promising to mess with the the process that the founding fathers set up to
elect the leaders of this country you know what's going on what was that say
about the state we're in well it's a real problem I mean I'm back home in my
district right now and and I've been asked many questions by constituents
over the last 24 or 48 hours about what this means about our very system of
justice you know the idea that that we could really do have equality under the
law if the people lose faith in that John it's a real problem for us I mean
that this is this is part of our our constitutional system and that's why the
oversight here is so important the work of the dishy Airy committee and the
house is so important where we're having this joint hearing on Tuesday we're
gonna get down at the bottom of this and I think the American people are owed
those answers the American people also need to trust in the
quality of the electoral process I know that that you have some thoughts on that
you're working on trying to prevent the kind of thing that the Russians tried to
do meddling in the last election tell us about that well yeah not only in our
elections but in all of our US policy I mean one of the worst kept secrets in
Washington is that there are hostile foreign nations like Russia and many
others who are constantly trying to intervene in our democratic processes in
influence that the workings of Congress in the development of US policy we've
allowed this to happen it's really kind of outrageous but there are loopholes in
our foreign registration lobbyists laws and we're trying to clean that up we I
filed a bill of several months back the the foreign influences Disclosure Act
it's a bipartisan measure it's already passed through the House Judiciary
Committee and I think the full Congress needs to pass this and put it into law
we know that these things are going on and I think we have a duty and a
responsibility to stop it all of this all that the common denominator here is
that we have to have integrity in our systems we have to have the American
people have faith in our institutions and there's nothing less than that at
stake in all of these controversies today Congressman Mike Johnson
Republican of Louisiana back home there today thanks very much for taking some
time it's great to be with you well the Department of Homeland Security saying
2,000 children have been separated from their parents at the southern border
both parties are now pointing fingers and blaming each other for these
separations the president says Democrats can help stop this if they work with
Republicans on an immigration bill the children can be taken care of quickly
beautifully and immediately the Democrats forced that law upon our
nation I hate it I hate to see separation of parents and children we
need a wall we need border security we got to get rid of catch-and-release
Gillian Turner has more now from Washington the president's sticking to
his guns when it comes to his immigration priorities he plans to
continue to enforce a policy that separates immigrant parents from their
children at the southern border in spite of his publicly expressed hate for the
policy in a tweet this morning he puts the onus on Democrats writing Democrats
can they're forced family breakup at the
border by working with Republicans on your legislation for a change
this the day after he stunned the Republican leadership with a declaration
on Fox & Friends that he would not support a compromise immigration plan
months in the making I'm looking at both of them I certainly
wouldn't sign the MOU mom what is the I mean I need a bill that gives this
country tremendous border security I have to have that though the White House
press staff went on defense and immediately clarified those remarks
insisting the president will sign on to one of the two Republican led bills
frustration is still rampant on Capitol Hill he's using children whether they're
dreamers or whether there's no children at the border now for political purpose
shameful administration insiders say that by continuing to enforce this
separation policy the president's playing a long game he hopes to
ultimately force the Democrats hand and increase the chances of reaching a
broader compromise on immigration the hot ticket items for the president
include funding for border security including the wall and curtailing
illegal entries all of which his GOP colleagues insist they've got covered
that consensus bill has not I think then we've been working with the White House
on it but I don't think it's been fully vetted with him yet and it contains all
the things that he mentioned in that interview that were important to him all
of the pillars meanwhile the Department of Homeland Security released figures
revealing almost 2,000 children were forced into separation from their
parents during a period of only six weeks between April and May of this year
John Gillian Turner in Washington thank you for more on this let's bring in
Susan for hgo chief congressional
