Senator Marshall Blackburn here live. Massive protests following the downing of a ukrainian plane. Amid all this, we are asking why the silence. The allegation thats rocking the progressive weighing of the Democratic Party tonight. Hello and welcome to fox new at night, im Shannon Bream in washington. The looming Senate Impeachment trial, good evening mark. Tomorrow we should get up much better idea of where President Trumps impeachment is heading. House democrats will be meeting to discuss their strategy is the senate appears to be ready to start a trial within days. So here we are. Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell is accusing nancy pelosi of wasting the countrys time. The strange game it has achieved, absolutely nothing. The house approved impeachment on december 18th. Since then the speaker has held off sending the case to the senate in an attempt to pressure a handful of republicans along with democrats to support rules allowing witnesses to testify in a senate trial. The senators that are thinking about voting for witnesses or not, they will have to be accountable for not having a fair trial. He made the democrats hear from for Current White House officials including Mick Mulvaney and National Security advisor john bolton. Regardless of the consequences for the president , democrats are on a quest for the truth. Republican leaders say they are willing to consider calling witnesses but only after a trial is underway. Similar to how the senate handled president clintons impeachment in the 1990s. Whats good enough for president clinton ought to be good enough for President Trump so thats how i see this going forward. This week democrats are expected to reveal who theyve chosen. The New York Times reports both white House CounselPat Cipollone and President Trumps lawyer jay sekulow will have speaking roles in the trial. Although it remains unclear who else may join in the president s defense team or how long the trial may last. The timing of the trail is very important, as for Democratic Senators are also running for president. The first contest, and the iowa caucus, three weeks away from now. Shannon mark brandes, thank you. Tonight, following a third consecutive day of protesters taking to the streets. Now tonight, reports of a violent crackdown are putting tehran on defense. Correspondent Garrett Tenney has breaking details on the unrest in tehran. We cant stress enough the kind of risk these protesters are taking, even risking their own lives by not only openly criticizing irans government but calling for the death of its supreme leader. More than a thousand protesters took to the streets of tehran this weekend chanting, death to the dictator and death to the liars. After irans government tried to cover up its role in shooting down a ukrainian plane last we week. Killing all 176 people on board including more than 140 iranians, something it now admits was an accident. Soleimani was killed in an air strike earlier this month. Firing tear gas and allegedly shooting live fire ammunition. Iranian officials are blaming the protest on the u. S. And warning. If the agents of america want to use a problem to disturb public opinion, authorities wont allow anyone to compromise security. But many of the protesters arent buying it. This video shows crowds outside of university in tehran refusing to trample u. S. And israeli flags on the ground. President trump praising the bravery of the iranian people on twitter, saying in part my government will continue to stand with you. We are following your protest closely and your courage is inspiring. Its now tuesday and it despite the governments crackdown on the protest, there are still calls for additional demonstrations against the countrys leadership. Shannon . Shannon its Garrett Tenney, thank you very much. Why would the president even take time to retweet Something Like this . I think the president was making the point that the democrats seem to hate him so much that they are willing to be on the side of countries and leadership of countries who want to kill americans. Shannon the White House Press secretary standing by the president today after a controversial retweet of a photoshopped image. For reaction, republican Marshall Blackburn. We have gotten that tweet, most of it negative and we have this from congressman lee zeldin, we have courageously taken to the streets in iran in the favor of freedom. Why the silence on this . And thats between us and them, so they may be siding for people that are antiamerican. I think what we have to realize is, what they have done when they do not support what is happening for the cause of freedom, whether its in hong kong or iran or other countries. What you are going to see is the appearance of. And its that old thing, perception is reality. Too many people who do not see them saying, lets support these freedom fighters, then they are saying, why are they hesitating . And to help secure our country. And a 12 other countries move toward a more free process and they were puzzled by this. I want to ask you domestically about impeachment. Theres a lot of interesting media praise out there, and that opinion piece in the Washington Post says this. They wont be able to start the trial until after the Martin Luther king jr. Day weekend which will likely hurt the progressive favorites. They have to stay in washington rather than campaign and those other pulling states. They say through all of this, what she has done is help the democrats eventually come if biden is a stronger nominee. So three weeks of holding the impeachment articles were a wonderful chess play. This really is impeachment with an asterisk. Its a failed strategy. It has been that way from the start because they said they would find something and they were going to impeach him. They say pelosi has done nothing but take herself further into the hole. I was thinking about that randy travis song the whole today. Deeper you go, you affect your future. And that is exactly what shes doing. I dont see where there is a win for this in her. People are sick and tired of this. They are saying get ready for usmca, the china trade. And, how long will this impeachment drag on . Because they are sick and tired of it. Now let me ask you about this dispute. Bernie sanders and Elizabeth Warren, apparently there was a conversation that they had back in 2018 when she was talking about, could there be a female president elected . We are talking about what would happen, i thought a woman could win. Senator sanders is saying this is not true, thats not actually how the conversation can happen and he does think a woman could win. Elizabeth warren wants they dont think we can ever win. I think more importantly we have to realize that Elizabeth Warren has credibility problems. And she has a list of them. I dont know what bernie said, i dont know what Elizabeth Warren said it, i dont know what somebody thought they heard it, all i know is neither of them nor any democrat can be donald trump and he will win this election in 2020. They can foss and they can fight but at the end of the day they cannot win. Theres a big divide in the Democratic Party about whether they can go with somebody or mainstream like joe biden or one of them are progressive senators. Senator, good to have you with us. Attorney general bill barr says last months deadly shooting by a saudi aviation student at the Florida Naval base was motivated by jihadist ideology and was an act of terrorism. At 21yearold Saudi Air Force officer opened fire at the base in pensacola killing three u. S. Sailors and injuring three other people. He was killed by a sheriffs deputy. A subsequent investigation found 21 members of the saudi Training Program had derogatory materials with antiamerican content on social media. The 21 cadets have been disenrolled and have been returned home. The president doubling down on his Campaign Promise to build a wall tonight, looking to divert an additional 72 billion for border construction.

Shannon the fbi is prepping for a Major Overhaul when it comes down to how it prepares warrant applications for surveillance for the fisa court. The man overseeing the changes is sparking major backlash tonight. Jillian explains why. Good evening shannon. We are learning new details cited about the fisa court, g. O. P. Lawmakers and even the president by tapping the lawyer over a scathing Justice DepartmentInspector General report. Devon nunez slammed the pick saying it was shocking and inexcusably partisan. Its more like the fox guarding the henhouse. This is somebody that should be nowhere near this especially for his Public Statement that were so defamatory really in nature. It seems like you would want a more veteran judge to take the place of the new spot on the court. Shannon that follows President Trumps twitter criticism yesterday. He wrote, you cant make this up. A former doj official was just appointed by the fisa court to oversee reforms for the fbi surveillance procedures. Zero credibility, the swamp. The Legal Community also criticizing the move Jonathan Turley writing, this will add fuel to the fire. Fisk went to someone who insisted that allegations of abuse were nonsense and should be rejected. Fbi director chris ray issuing a new filing friday laying out steps the bureau will take to guard against future pfizer abuses, after revolutions about the surveillance of trump ada carter page in 2016. The file includes 12 areas for reform plus an apology Court Sources are now calling stunning. The fbi has the utmost respect in the court and deeply regrets the errors and omissions. He adds the reviews findings, describing conduct that is unrepresented of the fbi in an institution. The National Security division is declining to comment, and the capitol hill sources tell fox news director wray, it may be something to testify imminently. Shannon all right gillian turner, thank you. This decision to pick david chriss raising eyebrows tonight. Lets talk to Matt Whitaker who joins us live. Good to see you. Im going to. I think david chriss having an interesting night, theres a lot of blowback. Jim jordans office honestly questioning this as well. He called the new naz memo dishonest the carter page fisa explanation. Its hard to believe they couldnt find someone better. Why they pick him . This was a bad pick by the court, not because for the obvious reasons but what its going to causes a lack of credibility of the court, not with the court. The fisa court is now, anything they do and anything the forms at the fbi implements is going to be suspect because of mr. Chris being involved in the situation. Hes got a fairly impressive resume, he was the acting attorney general, the assistant attorney general in charge of the National Security division which is an Important Role at the department of justice but at the same time hes been so critical of the president , and the court has now opened itself up to criticism that wasnt necessary if they put somebody else that had same credentials but didnt have as much of a partisan patina on it. He has worked under republican and democrat administration. Hes got a unique resume but theres only a certain amount of people that could be able to do this job. Can at weinstein said this. There is nobody who knows more or cares more about our National Security processes. What the ig said, although he said he wasnt putting his fingers on any political bias, 17 major followups, to put it nicely. Chris has questioned that, saying if there were real problems, is he the one to fix it . The real problem is, if there was systemic issues, not just in the carter page fisa, then that something folks are still looking at. So again, i think mr. Chris being involved has now sort of brought credibility issues to a process. And i think ultimately this could damage the program which i care about the most. This is a legitimate program that is necessary and when appropriately applied is important for National Security. But now this could cause congress to make adjustments that could weaken those powers. Shannon the case of the navy shooting, many others were injured. There is a lot of information that theyve been able to get today but today the attorney general said we need apple to work with us on fully unlocking these phones. I think in this case they change course and actually work with the fbi. Apple says, they reject the work allegation that they havent responded, and they dont like how this is playing out in public. They dont but this has been an issue with apple for a long time. And the acting attorney general trying to work on how we work with the Technology Company with these phones at sometimes have a tremendous amount of information that would not only be helpful but also would help for future attacks on both here and abroad. Its concerning that these 21 saudis that are being expelled from the program had any sympathy, but the whole program, they were running with the saudis. This is an unfortunate situation but fundamentally apple needs to cooperate with law enforcement. When there is an appropriate court order to get into the phone. Shannon in the meantime, always great to have you. Thanks for coming in. The queen finally breaking her silence on prince harry and Meghan Markles drama.
