Kremlin. Despite not having seen any direct evidence. The Washington Post reporting that the president is not a target of a criminal investigation by special Counsel Robert Mueller, the news comes as the president claims he is getting tough on russia. More on that later. He wants to send the military to our southern border. Our chief National Correspondent ed henry is here with the latest. This Washington Post story, what do we know . This is our first indication the president has solid reason to believe that despite all the media hype hyperventilation about the special counsel, the risk of criminal jeopardy is low. That is the signal that muellers team sent to the president s attorneys. According to the Washington Post they are saying that muellers team missing the president is not a criminal target at this point and instead is a subject investigation. It means the person is under investigation but there may not be enough evidence to bring charges. Which is why Alan Dershowitz and a bunch of other legal experts have been predicting for a long time. Extremely difficult to prove obstruction of justice. This helps shed more light on why theres been a split in trumps legal camp. John dowd wanted to avoid an interview with miller. Believing if your risk of criminal prosecution is low, why walk into it. Ty cobb has been counseling if the president doesnt interview, he and ty cobb are confident they can have no intent to obstruct justice and mueller can complete that portion of the probe. Then the cloud could perhaps be lifted. The fact that dowd resigned and cobb is still on board, gives us a clue. Do an interview and it could get the trump part closed. Shannon white house aides seem to be clarifying exactly what the president meant today when he declared that he wanted to send the military to the border. Democrats basically freaked out, suggesting the president is sending active duty military to the border. That is prohibited by law. They cant get involved in domestic Law Enforcement. Tonight officials are making clear the president is seemly talking about mobilizing the National Guard to scare the southern border which was done in smaller doses by barack obama and george w. Bush. What the president seem to be saying today is he may be looking at a more aggressive approach. Senior white house official is saying the number of National Guard troops will be substantial. That suggests a larger number than ever before. Listen to the president. I told mexico and i respect what they did, i said look, your laws are very powerful. Your laws are very strong. We have very bad laws for our border. And were going to be doing some things. Speaking with general mattis, we are going to be doing things militarily. Until we can have a wall and proper security, we are going to be guarding our board with the military. Speak of the Mexican Government requested clarification on the comment. An official of the white house tells us the president s Homeland Security has been touch with the Mexican Government. The president has made clear he wants to get tough on illegal immigration. Shannon we will see if it continues to play out. Thank you. Texas has its ready for what ever and whoever shows up at its border. Lets bring in Texas Attorney general ken paxton. Great to see you. Thank you. Shannon you have a large border. Along the south, and this is not something new to you. What do you have their and what are you expecting if any of this caravan of 1,000 plus migrants should show up in texas. We have been through this before. When president obama was in office, he almost invited people from Central America to come to our border. We have thousands of people here including children. We dealt with it. A put a strain on our resources but if it happens again, we will deal with that again. Shannon i want to redo something. Actually this is a sound bite from representative Francis Rooney out of florida. I dont feel comfortable deploying military troops in creating a possibility for an increased, increasing violence and escalation of conflict. These people should be stopped at the border and vetted, the normal process. We should have money of agents to do that. Shannon do you have the agents you need . What you think about the proposal from the white house . Any help we can get. We are not allowed to do a lot of things. This is a federal issue. If the president thinks National Guard will help us, given the situation in mexico the caravan people, certainly we are open to that. If it provides greater security and protects our citizens. Shannon lets talk about the wall. Theres been an endless debate for years going back to the president campaigning on building the wall and only getting a fraction of the spending he wanted in the omnibus bill he signed a few days ago. There has been talk, and the administration has openly admitted, potentially using defense funds from the department of defense in order to help build a wall a little bit. Now there are a couple democratic senators, senators durbin and senator reid, they sent a letter to general mattis saying based on a thorough review we conclude the department of defense has no Legal Authority with or without a reprogramming request. To use appropriate funds for the construction of a border wall. What would you like to see in texas . It is a large border. They are all kinds of different conditions. What would help . We know a wall or fence has worked in the border with el paso and juarez. There used to be no fence. During the bush administration, they built a large fence had been a major difference. El paso went from being one of the worst cities in america to be one of the safest cities. We know it works. Whatever takes to build a fence, a wall that provides more border agents, technology, whatever is most appropriate along a large border, we want to do it. Part of that is definitely a wall. Certainly southport above the president s efforts to get it done. Shannon dont have a lot of time i dont ask about the case. Texas been involved, you have been involved with a case of minors coming illegally across the border. They are pregnant in many cases and then they get here and seek an abortion. A federal judge ruled last week the government has to facilitate that process. The administration has asked for the judges order to be pummeled. It will force them to potentially use taxpayer money to help facilitate abortions. Essentially going against the law, as i understand it. What happens next . Hopefully that will be challenged by the justice department. It doesnt make a lot of sense to me to get Constitutional Rights to abortion to people here illegally. What they will do is incentivize people to come here for abortions. We will be a sanctuary state in texas for abortions. Certainly we dont want that. We have an interest in protecting the unborn. We certainly have we certainly dont want to create a new constitutional right and incentive reports are coming or get abortions. Shannon will watch the cases it winds its way through the system. A bee to the Supreme Court. Attorney general ken paxton, thank you for your time. This is a fox news alert. Local news stations identifying the shooter at the youtube headquarters today.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller reported a telling that lawyers for the president he is not a target of criminal investigatio investigation. Kristin fisher continues the coverage. Good evening. Today President Trump tried to make the case that he has been tougher on russia than any of his predecessors. He also continued to hold out hope you could be the president to finally forge a lasting friendship with russian president Vladimir Putin. So i think i could have a very Good Relationship with russia. And with president putin. If i did, that would be a great thing. Theres also a great possibility that that wont happen. Who knows. Standing alongside the leaders of the three Baltic States as they celebrate the 100th anniversary of their independence from the soviet union, President Trump pointed to his recent order expelling 60 Russian Diplomats as proof that his administration is willing to punish putin. Germany did four, france did four. We did 60. There is nobody been tougher on russia. Has a commitment to get other nato countries to spend more money on their defense against russia. Hes complained that the u. S. Pays the lions share of nato expenses but today he thanked the leaders from the Baltic States for meeting their obligations. Your commitment to burden sharing is an example. Some of them do not make the same commitment. Hopefully they soon will. President trump digital single out nato. Also criticized allies in the middle east like saudi arabia by hinting that he is seriously considering pulling u. S. Troops out of syria. Saudi arabia is very interested in our decision. And i said well, you know, you want us to stay. Maybe youre going to have to pay. The president s advisors that the u. S. Month stay in syria for now or risk a resurgence of isis. We are in syria to fight isis. Thats our mission. Our mission isnt over. We are going to complete that mission. The situation in syria will almost certainly come up when President Trump and prudent meet again. That next meeting they take at the white house. The press secretary said yesterday, that it is being considered. Shannon. Shannon Kristin Fisher at the white house. Thank you. Despite telling the president s legal teams at the commander in chief is not currently the target of a criminal investigation, special Counsel Robert Mueller still wants to interview him. Good idea. Or not . Chris stirewalt is fox news policy editor. Good to see you. Listen, the legal team for the president is spinning this is a positive thing. They say he is still under investigation in connection with the number of things. Hes not part of the criminal investigation but special counsel still wants to talk to them. There is debate about whether thats a good idea or not. Its a good idea if you want the investigation to come to a conclusion. Thats basically the question for this administration and for this president and for his lawyers. Are you ready to be done . If you are ready to be done and let the chips fall where they may and have this be overcome and then you do the interview. It is foolhardy to imagine that somehow this matter could conclude without the president providing some testimony. They are going to fight like the dickens over with the terms are and what those things are but this has to happen. Or we are not going to be finished. We all, no matter how you butter your bread politically, Everybody Needs this to come to some sort of clean conclusion. Shannon we will talk about tomorrow with the panel. Meanwhile, we have the president saying that he is super tough on russia. Not everyone believes in. Here are both sides. Theres nobody been tougher on russia, and with that being said, i think i could have a very Good Relationship with president putin. The idea that hes been tougher than other president s on Vladimir Putin is so laughable. Well, it would be laughable if it werent so serious. Because the last communication he had with Vladimir Putin was to congratulate him on his victory in a completely sham election. Shannon senator blumenthal, not a believer. Lets talk about things that happen. The president expelled the diplomats. Another round of sanctions. Hes close facilities. Sold arms to the ukraine. Publicly condemned the nerve attack in the u. K. Stood with the others. There are a number of officials and the Trump Administration including Ambassador Haley who have been tough on russia. What do
