fraud or the wiretapping, does the president have a credibility problem? >> look, i said yesterday -- i think trey asked the question, that the president meant the total number of people. and that -- hold on -- >> he said the obama administration. >> i understand that. im actually explaining it. thats the way you asked the question. just -- he meant that the total number of people released from gitmo was 122. what the president -- and just to be clear, there is a big difference under the bush...

Realm of a special prosecutor that of course a little different from weve talked about a 9/11 style commission for example to investigate russias meddling. this would be a criminal inquiry, and thats what democrats want him to say hell do. so far hes answered those questions by saying i havent had a chance to look at a lot of this classified information that ill have access to once im confirmed into this position and something he hasnt made a decision about. we will esee if thats good for enough...

Out to the white house to find out specifically. what we can tell you, earlier this morning, it was like 3:00 something in the morning, fox and friends broadcast tweeted something about this very topic. you can see what they posted earlier, former gitmo detainee killed by airstrike in yemen. 122 former gitmo detainees reengaged in terrorism. thats what the president tweeted later. as we try to get better sourcing, wiretap, we have an idea what might be his sourcing this time around. >> oh, my go...

Itself. right now obviously as the white house likes to explain, there are vetting processes in place. nobody able to rush across the border. what it ignores anybody who wants to come, specifically refugees, they already go through what is a rigorous vetting process. >> i think up to two years. >> 18 months and all the way up to two years before they even have the opportunity to rush in. >> that doesnt sound like a rush to me. that sounds like a long, arduous, difficult, painful process for fami...

For agriculture and alex akos sta. >> i believe alex costa was sent up, but that one is up and ill check on sonny perdue, i think some of it is in kwoocoordinati. pardon my time. >> will the president offer a correction that states 122 prisoners were released from gitmo and returned to the battlefield? >> obviously the president meant the number of totality released from gitmo since individuals have been released so that is correct. >> the second question, is the white house concerned about this...

Welcome back. through the first 46 days of the trump presidency, washington has wrestled with when to take the presidents word seriously and literally. its an ongoing issue because so much of what the president says is demonstrably false. take an example from this morning. the president tweeted 122 vicious prisoners from guantanamo have returned to the battlefield. that sounds frightening. like evidence of the obama administration policies undermine national security. its also not true. 113 of t...

Tweet. peter, what did you find out? >> reporter: good morning to you. the claim is 122 vicious prisoners were released under the obama administration. with we went to the computer and went to the director of national intelligences latest report that was recently released. we found 122 detainees, as the military refers to them have been released from guantanamo bay. 113 of them, in fact, were released by president bush under his administration. just nine of them were released by president obama....

Sent up to the hill earlier today. we should have an announcement officially out -- sometimes there is a little bit of a lag, i apologize between my office -- and ill check on sonny purdue. some of it is in coordination with the senate. pardon my time. trey? >> i have two questions for you. first will the president offer a correction to his tweet this morning that states that 122 prisoners when release by gitmo from the obama administration and then returned to the battlefield? you can take that...

Devin nunez is a hard guy to alienate from donald trump. i wouldnt even consider that a huge amount of distance. but you can see and sense the frustration there that he doesnt really know how to deal with this. and time and time again this president continues to do things that make it very hard for his allies to defend him. and this is just one of those times. i mean, being a political neophyte is not really an excuse once youve been sworn in as president of the united states. you have to do the...

Another wild weekend for president trump. he tweeted, terrible, just found out obama had my wires tapped in trump tower. nothing found. this is mccarthyism. do you think he believes president obama tapped his phones? james comey doesnt. he rejects the accusation and asked trumps department of justice to refute it. that did not happen. the white house is calling for congress to investigate. trump is even taking the unusual step of hiring a security expert to examine his phone system. this guy, th...
