Republicans Zeroing News Today

wrongdoing. his son, hunter biden, snubbing a subpoena to testify today behind closed doors saying hell only do so publicly and stating his father has no financial ties to his business dealings. will the gop move to hold the other biden in contempt of congress? also tonight, president biden welcoming the families of all eight americans still being held hostage by hamas to the white house. what they said to him in their private meeting. the record day on wall street. big news from t...

Justice department. they really ought to stop, and i think this will be the first of a lot of people leaving because nobody wants to see their good work undermined. its just awful. >> the white house is pointing to mccabe and its claims of an anti-trump bias in robert muellers overall russia investigation. where do you see things going from here? >> well, you know, this paranoia about an anti-trump bias, we hear certain claims one day and its disputed the next day, and then its rebuked the day a...

An update on the breaking news. fbi deputy director andrew mccabe stepping down effective immediately. sarah sanders getting ready to face questions on this any moment now. well have live reporting on the briefing when it begins. manu is up on capitol hill. manu, whats the reaction youre getting there? >> not a surprise,real surprise members thought mccabe would stay here until at least march 18. not a lot of reaction at the moment, but we know andrew mccabe is mentioned in this very controversi...

Department. rod rosenstein comes to mind. i mean, we did a story on friday saying the president would like to have him removed as well. hes grousing about him internally. and perhaps, and this is just speculation, that it came to a certain point where maybe chris wray threw up his hands or chris wray and mccabe threw up their hands and said, all right, this is going to happen. what we dont know is if there was an order for him to leave, where it came from. >> and rachel, its probably a month or ...

Its really an attack on the basics of our democracy, as far as im concerned. >> have you read this four-page memo that devin nunez, the chairman of the house committee and other republicans, would like to release? i know they made it available to members of the house. >> well, i sent them a letter telling them i would like to see it. i have not seen it yet. but again, if theyre going to release the republican memo, we want the democratic memo released as well. we want balanced opinions, we want ...

Interfering in our election. the president blew past the deadline, and about a month later came forward with the names. today is the deadline for him to come forward with the sanctions. we havent heard a word other than the fact that hes going to do it, but meanwhile he hasnt done it. i dont understand. this administration seems to go lightly on russia and attack u.s. intelligence. to me it just boggles my mind. >> this letter, ill read another line from it. the assistant attorney general, remem...

Allowing the intelligence community to review it? because theyre not sharing this four-page memorandum, basically, with anyone outside the house. >> well, no, i havent, and i think the fears are very well-founded. and thats why im saying that if they made the decision to release what the republicans said, they ought to release the democratic response for balance. you know, its really shocking, wolf, that there is just such an attack again on the fbi, on the justice department. when the president...

Bend, we cant have you at the fbi. i think whats interesting in what were seeing today is that this memo, theyre clearly laying the groundwork for even more shuffling. a case against rod rosenstein, potentially, for him basically approving to continue the continuation of surveillance of trump officials. and republicans are going to be saying in this memo that he had no right to do that. hes the guy who has the power to fire mueller. potentially theyre making the case to push him out. thats the t...

That devin nuness staff drafted. the memo cites both mccabe and deputy attorney general rod rosenstein, their role in overseeing the russia investigation. we dont know if this has any connection with the sudden decision of mccabe to announce his decision to step aside, but clearly if this memo is released, wolf, more pressure almost certainly will be put on mccabe from republicans here on capitol hill. we still dont know exactly the timing of this vote to release this memo. it could happen as so...

Worried she was potentially going to be the boss. republicans have been trying to make this case that the fbi have had this anti-trump bend. its not obviously illegal or against the law at all for fbi officials to have public opinions. but it only causes a problem if they act on those in a biased manner. right now republicans are highlighting these texts and you can bet mccabe wanted to get out of there before they go on this rampage. >> you cant blame him for wanting to get out. >> yeah, and he...
