>> melissa: thank you for joining us. that was a busy one, right? im melissa francis in for harris faulkner. "the daily briefing" starts right now. >> dana: fox news alert, we are waiting for the white house briefing to begin about 30 minutes from now. president trumps legal team goes on the offensive. hello, everyone. im dana perino. this is "the daily briefing". a couple of big headlines, the presidents attorney rudy giuliani answers the $130,000 question on stormy daniels and lays out paramet...

Name is rudy giuliani talking about? >> i have no idea how to interpret it. he went in, expecting to talk about stormy daniels, michael cohen and the president. wasnt prepared for the jared question. did not have an answer for it. came up with an incoherent response. i think the issue is jared is on jareds own. if robert mueller comes for jared, hes going to be on his own. weve seen no indication theres any kind of evidence between jared and the russia meddling in our election. i go back to the ...

Forward the complaint on the stormy daniels payout, and alleged campaign finance violations. so this all starts with you and your group, paul. whats your reaction to the whirlwind of the last 18 hours? >> its great to be back with you again. my reaction is that despite rudy giulianis intentions, he made donald trumps legal problems much worse with his comments last night. as did the president with his comments this morning via tweet. >> why? >> because before last night, donald trump had denied ...

When the president said no questions on collusion, that is obviously not the case. you mentioned several there as you went down the list, anderson, these are obviously questions that have to deal with collusion and when the white house was asked about this earlier today, they simply didnt want to talk about it. i will tell you there is a real and practical implication in all of this and that is whether or not it affects, whether the president will sit down ultimately with the special counsel rob...

"the times" last night lists 13 different questions for the president on that subject. the times even helpfully grouped that bakers dozen of russia collusion questions under a special subheading in their story, a subheading that notes, hey, here, these are the 13 questions about trump campaign coordination with russia. i dont know why the president said publicly today that there are no questions from mueller for him on the subject of collusion. but there are a lot of them. more than a dozen. now...

Bob mueller does not have that authorization. so there is a real potential legal argument the trump people can make saying this isnt a justicible issue because mueller does not have the right -- it is an intraranch dispute. mueller does not have the right to question my implication of executive privilege. >> you says justice shl and intrabranch. you know you are getting me excited. >> [ laughter ] >> this is something we were discussing at the very top of our show tonight. and you are putting yo...

Story, a sub heading that notes, hey, here, these are the 13 questions about trump campaign coordination with russia. i dont know why the president said publicly today that there are no questions from mueller for him on the subject of collusion. but there are a lot of them. more than a dozen. now, "the times" says they got these questions from notes that were taken in a meeting between muellers team and trumps legal team in march. they further report the presidents lead lawyer on russia issues a...

Saving the country. the strong implication being if we werent here we would have entered world war ii or the president would have been impeached. what do you think of that? >> there is certainly the irony of that comment, true or not true. and now the president taking credit for what is happening in the korean peninsula. you know, as frightening as i find so many aspects of the story, im also frightened about what happens when kelly leaves the white house. and to be clear, his days are numbered ...

That are acting like this in the kind of snake pit where they dont think highly of the president. they dont think highly of each other. theyre at each others throats leaking all the time, it makes it impossible for anyone in the press, on the hill or internationally to have confidence that anything they say can actually be counted on. >> chris, i want to ask you about this one sort of remarkable moment in the story in which according to the reporting john kelly basically apparently persuade as p...

Of nuclear initiative. first of all the implication by benjamin netanyahu is because they archived all of these hundreds of thousands of documents it can be restarted oon a moments note. they got this stuff out of a warehouse, briefed to the president on march 5th in the white house. what about the argument that iran can restart its nuclear program? >> let me make several points. first of all, the announcement by the prime minister, in my view, re-enforces the importance of the iran agreement. i...
