At his swearing-in this week as First Minister — effectively the person running Scotland now — the 37-year-old chose an all-black sherwani with narrow trousers or pajamas in the same colour rather than the classic white shalwar favoured in Pakistan
and now, there is one more thing that merrick garland has to think about. john durham, the special counsel appointed by trump's attorney general, bill barr, to investigate the origins of the trump russia. john durham still on the job. he now reports to merrick garland. if you remember. the two cases john barham brought to trial ended in acquittals. durham has yet -- deep state conspiracy by the intelligence committee to discredit trump. but, the new york times latest reporting on durham, which is a bombshell piece, it shows just how much barr seems to have meddled in the durham probe. and how he was determined to make sure john doorknob covered something, while drinking scotch with john durham on the regular. the paper reported that three senior prosecutors of durham's team, resigned over frustrations and disagreements over the handling of this inquiry. we also learned, about a european trip that barr and durham took, where they
durham has yet -- deep state conspiracy by the intelligence committee to discredit trump. but, the new york times latest reporting on durham, which is a bombshell piece, it shows just how much barr seems to have meddled in the durham probe. and how he was determined to make sure john doorknob covered something, while drinking scotch with john durham on the regular. the paper reported that three senior prosecutors of durham's team, resigned over frustrations and disagreements over the handling of this inquiry. we also learned, about a european trip that barr and durham took, where they received a credible -- linking trump to suspected financial crimes. barr assigned that criminal investigation of the former president to john durham. and the public never heard anything about it. until now. bill barr, spoke to the l.a. times last night to defend his handling of john terms investigation. in an attempt to pre spend the
you seem sanguine about far and the politicization of the doj under his stewardship. i was still shocked by it. you know, it was out there to be seen, but the idea he's back there, drinking scotch with john durham, and the atmosphere becomes poisonous and partisan enough that prosecutors are leaving the office. you've been on the inside of an investigation. what does it take to get people to resign in fury like that? >> by the way, i think my view of bill barr, the reason i wasn't shocked, is that i may be starting at a low point that this confirmatory. >> yes, you lived a different experience than i did. >> exactly, i lived through that month where there was a public letter reporting to the summary of the mueller report which we internally knew. it was completely false, and misleading to the american public, and having to wait for the report to come out, knowing
at gets folded into that. >> it's the danger of appointing a special counsel, right? you seem sanguine about far and the politicization of the doj under his stewardship. i was still shocked by it. you know, it was out there to be seen, but the idea he's back there, drinking scotch with john durham, and the atmosphere becomes poisonous and partisan enough that prosecutors are leaving the office. you've been on the inside of an investigation. what does it take to get people to resign in fury like that? >> by the way, i think my view of bill barr, the reason i wasn't shocked, is that i may be starting at a low point that this confirmatory. >> yes, you lived a different experience than i did. >> exactly, i lived through that month where there was a public letter reporting to the summary of the mueller report which we internally knew. it was completely false, and misleading to the american public, and having to wait for the report to come out, knowing what bill barr was up to, and,
>> reporter: a reminder of how dangerous it is in the dominican republic, we didn't mention this yesterday when we first got here, 24 hours ago our producer pulled off the road to get directions and he was mugged at gunpoint, he is okay, lost his wallet, that is all and not harmed but it is a stark reminder of the dangers in the investigation we are pursuing here and we got a look inside here at the hard rock hotel, wanted to see the minibar because robert wallace in april dropped dead after drinking scotch from the minibar and you can see in the video from the minibar that the bottles are simply 4/5 of liquor and very easy to manipulate or tamper with either intentionally or unintentionally and that is of great interest not only to the family of robert wallace but also a gentleman, david harrison, who died a year ago at this same resort. i spoke to don mccoy.
mysterious deaths and fourth one we reported on died according to his niece shortly after drinking scotch. we went inside this hard rock in punta cana where he passed away. look at what you see in the mini bar. it's four bottles, full fifth of liquor no. lock. it would be either to manipulate and tamper and fill it with what may be boot leg liquor that will be the focus of the investigation undoubtedly. we will find out more in the pathology and toxicology reports. in fact the gentleman that died here last july, david harrison his widow dawn mccoy wants a toxicology report she never got from thcommoncan officials here. looking newt three deaths. the hard rock and the baha not commenting further saying these are isolated cases.
constitutional structure and that some laws apply differently to him and some don't apply at all. at least when there has been no clear statement by congress that the law should apply to him. >> unless there is a last-minute hitch, the resolution will be ready for a full house vote tomorrow afternoon and will not strictly a contempt resolution it will allow democrats to sue to force subpoenas for the attorney general and former white house counsel, bret. >> bret: there are now four reported deaths of american tourists at the same resort in the dominican republic. the government is downplaying talk of a connection. this latest case involved 67-year-old robert wallace who was staying the hard rock hotel. his wife says wallace fell ill and died shortly after drinking scotch from the minibar. that death happened about a month before three other americans died. at least two of them also reportly had drinks in the room
alarmingly different because our society is so desensitized. >> it's about relevancy, too. >> not every movie? >> if you put a scotch in the movie "the notebook" i don't think you'll see a lot of women going out drinking scotch overnight. >> there is a certain thing about the cool factor. think about even television shows that have product placements in them. people see those stars using that particular product. the next thing you know sales start going up. >> wave of the future on two topics today. biz panel, thanks so much. let's see what's ahead on shepard smith reporting. >> feds say there are more than 600,000 homeless men and women in the united states. nearly one in ten is a veteran. ahead, you'll meet a group of students trying to raise money and raise awareness by spending 24 hours out in the cold. really no better person to cover this story than our newest correspondent, leah gabriel. she is a veteran herself. you'll see pictures of her up on our media ribbon here on the news desk p p she's a graduate of the naval academy. served as fighter pilot.
of it or the saying there's no there there will never penetrate as far as the initial scandal belief. that would be durable even going into the next election. so in that sense they may have scored one here. but i think in terms of our actual concern as american citizens about whether or not the irs is actually doing something that's politically motivated, which we should all care about, even on the left, i do believe there is very little evidence that that seems to be going on. >> i think -- the question is obscured by did obama direct this. nobody thinks actually db maybe darrel issa does, but nobody thinks obama's sitting around like nixon and gone mitchell drinking scotch at 3:00 in the morning, say going get those guys, i hate them! that isn't happening. i myself think i would like a real calm investigation of this. not all this obfuscation. those same people who said no, obama did not direct us to do this did say in other parts of their testimony they were told to report to washington with some of this information. i just think if i were a
