The Trump Administration is doing damage control. The president s counselor Kellyanne Conway on fox friends earlier today. He has said clearly that the meeting was taken, he did not know who was coming. It was somebody who he knew through the Miss Universe pageant, that the trump family, i guess mr. Trump had owned and managed for a while. Fine, he goes into the meeting, he says it was vague, ambiguous, very obvious that there was no helpful or meaningful information. At the meeting quickly turned over to the meeting of russian adoption, probably the pretense in the beginning. No action was taken, no followup whatsoever. Julie live at the white house with more. You know, never a dull moment around here. Can i throw that out here. If you look at the white house, they will say that it is a nothingburger if by that you mean layer upon layer of accusation and speculation. Let me share a part of the ticktock and the facts as we know them. You laid it out very well. Giving people a sense whe
Address. The president also faced kim jong uns north korea delegations seated right in the front row all he denounced that countries leader as a rocket man on a Suicide Mission and he also called on the nations in the world body to unite against the Common Threat posed by kim jong uns regime. Take a listen. A small group of rogue regimes that violate every principal in which the United States is based. They do not respect the rights of their nations. If we do not confront the wicked feel, the needful triumph the forces of destruction only gather power and strength. No one has shown more contempt for other nations and for the wellbeing of their own people than the depraved regime in north korea.

It can in this fox news alert on action against syria as we now await the u. N. Security council vote just days after that suspected chemical weapons attack near damascus that killed several thousand. U. N. Secretary general says he is outraged by syrias apparent use of gas against his own people saying if its confirmed, it would be a clear violation of international law. This as president from the house to respond forcefully and while the u. S. Poses for a vote on a resolution against syria. History will record this as a mom of the Security Council either discharged its duty or demonstrated its utter and complete failure to protect the people of syria.

We will have much more on this latebreaking verdict and reaction from our legal panel coming up later on in the hour. But first, the attorney general Jeff Sessions says no Second Special counsel will investigate claims of fbi surveillance abuse, at least not for now. Good morning to you on this friday. Julie im julie banderas, a lot going on. A utah u. S. Attorney, john huber will be spearheading a broad review. He will be looking at possible fbi surveillance abuses as well as the Clinton Foundation and the obama era uranium one deal. Some republicans say anything short of a special counsel is insufficient, claiming the Justice Department cannot investigate its own people.
