I didnt say president obama was wiretapping trump tower, i used quotes, which changes the meaning. when i asked about the 3 million undocumented people voting. he said it could be registration. there were points where he backed away from the literal meaning of the assertions but not backing down other than that. >> ruth, what if theres something to be said for the argument president trump has made. america wanted something different, he talks turkey and not talking in circles. go back to the cam...

The president was asked, do you hear some level of vindication. >> for folks at home, what theyre seeing here, we have to cue up five networks so we get this played out at the same time. they give us a two-minute warning, which can be excruciatingly long particularly when youre trying to fill that time. 120 seconds can feel like 120 days at some point. but again, the white house has been looking for something to back up the presidents assertions there was some sort of surveillance of people insi...

But in this case, while our own reporter, peter alexander denied he was asking about paul manafort specifically, it would mean that the chairman of the campaign of the man who is about to become president of the united states. let me read you what i meanwhile you look at both of these scenes. associated press president donald trumps former campaign chairman paul manafort secretly worked for a russian billionaire to advance the interests of russian president vladimir putin, a decade ago and propo...

President trump when he came over and just schmoozed with us at a dinner i was having with my wife and my friend. look, no one will ever know for sure whether the nsa or anybody ever tried to in any way have any kind of eefz dropping of any kind. liberals who generally distrust the nsa, they say if there was no eavesdropping, we have to belief them. the quefshtives are saying, no, no we cant belief them. if i was the white house counsel, i would tell the president to back away from these asserti...

Exceptions that we discussed? >> sir, im not going to discuss even hypotheticals about individuals. im sorry. >> if i could make reference to a "washington post" article that i have here from february 9th, which states -- let me say what it is and ill ask if youve read it or if youve seen it -- which states, "national security under michael flynn privately discussed u.s. sanctions against russia with the countrys ambassador to the united states during the month before president trump took office...

Russian abilities to control mr. trump and his campaign, if any of that were corroborated, that would be a bomb shell and a threat to trumps presidency. but quite well funded and motivated and intelligence organizations have been struggling to corroborate the assertions in that dossier ever since it came out five or six months ago and so far nothing has surfaced. so my instinct is theres an awful lot of noise going on and hysteria at the moment and theres lult evidence to sustain it. >> he talke...

Have to be very, very careful with that. >> you heard the statement from shepherd smith on fox news right after the president made the statement at the news conference saying fox has no evidence at all to back up the assertions from judge napolitano or any other suggestion that the president was wiretapped. why do you think the president is -- is reaching for a single fox news story to back up his claims, instead of relying on the u.s. intelligence community or the law enforcement community? hes...

Good. >> its terrible. >> listen to bob. >> what is our job here? look. he is the president. he has made some assertions. president have made assertions before. and you check them out as thoroughly as you can. he said, okay, lets wait two weeks. ive had some people call me and say some things and say you ought to look at this and you ought to look at that. now, i dont have to write a story or go on the air every day and that is a great luxury. and i am availing myself of that luxury in this case...

>> in one statement it says judge napolitano stands by his report on fox and friends. its an opinion show and napolitano was a guest a few days talking about this idea. his exact quote was this he said three intersection sources have informed fox news that president obama went outside the chain of command and basically suggested the british were the ones spying on trump, he was saying these sources were telling fox news this information but now fox is saying this was the judge, but the judge doe...

What do you know about this? >> well, i think one thing about this president, he is certainly entertaining. hes a showman. hes consistent. he has been consistent. its unfortunate now that this red herring, this distraction technique has been taking the american people away from the issues at hand. that is, this administrations involvement with russia, and that is perhaps the kind of agenda that hurts the american people. under the affordable care act, 20 million more americans receive health car...
