His comments straightahead and the Trump Administration takes another step in prioritizing religious liberty as the atty. Gen. Says he will not tolerate discrimination against people of faith. Welcome to fox news at night. I am Shannon Bream in washington. A brandnew letter from houston to the miniature devon nunez and several other republican members. Deputy attorney general Ron Rosenstein demanding the fbi and Justice Department give them full access to documents they have, quote, lawfully subpoenaed saying anything short of providing the records is obstruction. The letter comes as a number of fbi and Justice Department officials are facing a day of reckoning tomorrow is a report by the doj Inspector General how the Hillary Clinton email investigation was handled finally going to go public, could be a bombshell. Catherine herridge is here tonight with a preview as we wait. An inveation that began eatinggo, allegations of misconduct by f Justice Department officials over handling of the email case. There will be a series of closeddoor briefings tomorrow to include donald trump and congressional committees with direct oversight of the Justice Department and the fbi. Congressman bob goodlottery is republican chairman of the house judiciary committee. It will shed light on how the federal bureau of investigation mishandled this whole investigation with regard to Hillary Clinton and when you contrast that with the way they have handled the investigation of the socalled trump russia collusion people are going to be astonished there was this kind of bias in the investigation. When it began in january 2017 democrats supported the independent review because they blame james comey for derailing Hillary Clintons campaign when he reopened the criminal case 10 days before the election. Republicans thought clinton should have been prosecuted for mishandling the information but they accuse comey. Michael horowitz did not bring criminal charges but he can make a criminal referraere a us attorney reviews the evidence and considers whether a prosecution is justified. The report says 500 pages in length and should be available to the public later tomorrow afternoon. Shannon we are waiting is your. This could take aim at folks at the top of the Justice Department and fbi so who should be nervous tonight . We talk about it with former Deputy Assistant attorney general Harry Littman and constitutional attorney robert barnes, welcome to you both. Already this is what being told, ed morrissey writes dont expect to find sweeping condemnations of systemic corruption unless he finds specific and convincing evidence of it, the report is more likely to cite specific actions and allow readers to reach their own broader conclusions. What are you looking for tomorrow . That is right, the idea is a factfinder, a very thorough one and not a policymaker but there will be some really stern taking to task of the former fbi director especially for his public pronouncements about the clinton probe. Willome in for some ew mccabe criticism. Loretto lynch i think will not emerge unscathed either but there will be a series of criticisms about the handling of the clinton probe. What i dont see, or dont look to come in response to comments by the judiciary chair, is anything that reflects in any way on the Mueller Probe or the probe in general that involves donald trump. For that there needs to be a connection that i dont think will be drawn in this. We get a look at those senior officials handling the Hillary Clinton email investigation, those kinds of things. A reminder for folks Inspector General horowitzerred criminal chargesgainst andrew mccabe. An internal referral, we know about the page text, will be Inspector General recommend charges agaithose big names like comey, lynch or mccabe which is done in a different situation . I think he will criminal referral amccabe and maybe against comey. Most of the criticism will be focused on lack of leadership, dereliction of duty, failure to follow the protocol, and fbi procedures, which will reveal discrepancy and double standard which will go to what the congressman was saying that the only explanation for the discrepancy and double standard between the Clinton Administration and trump investigation where there was a real crime that was covered up and the other one, there was no crime or an attewh it didnt exist and everyone has been prosecuted to the max with attorneyclient privilege and Everything Else that the only discrepa standard,that is the of the department of justice, the fbi and National Security intelligence apparatus by the Obama Administration of which comey is handling of clinton reflects, clear differences between what comey sayand what mccabe says about who authorized the leaks and if the horowitz conclusion that it is comey who lied, he also referred criminal prosecution. Do you think there is any chance the underlying investigation of Hillary Clinton as handling servers and emails and classified information gets reopened . Very unlikely. The whole galloping way seems off to me. There is a political kerfuffle about the probe itself, it doesnt shed light on the Mueller Probe and i do not think there will be any reopening. Pretty low standard to make a criminal referral if theres any ny chance the investigation reopens . The department of justice, that investigation does need to be open but comey did a terrible job with the server and the imty handed out like candy, it will be difficult to prosecute the case. Shannon we will see tomorrow night, thank you for you both. A Senior Administration official confirms the pentagon is expected to cancel the next major joint military exercise between the us and south korea scheduled for august. The official says the pentagon will make that announcement on the cancellation of that in the press release tomorrow. Kristen fisher is tracking everything breaking down we are learning more broadly about the new relationship in an interview with the president. Donald trump, us and south korean militaries off guard by announcing he would end joint military exerces, wargames as he calls the man tonight in inra clear there would not be a nd surprise, he would not bring down the number of us troops in south korea. I would love to get the military analysis we can because it costs a lot of money and a lot of money for us. We have 32,000 soldiers in south korea. I would like to get them home but it is not on the table r now. What was on the table were joint military exercises which are now on hold. We will be stopping the wargames which will save us a tremendous amount of money. Reporter not only are they expensive but provocative. A loaded term that has been used for years by the north koreans and the us rejected it. The sentiment leader Chuck Schumer says the pres. s that term is just one reason he believes kim jong un is walking away the winner. I guarantee our military men and women were hen rump called our joint military exercises provocation. They are not a provocation, donald trump. Adopting the north korean view on American Military exercises which donald trump did is nothing short of a Public Relations coup for chairman kim. Donald trump believes, he tweet did that everybody can feel much safer than the day i took office. No lonreat from north korea adding sleep well tonight. The president should be applauded r disrupting the status quo. Lets get an agreement. Especially sinc statement signed in singapore was so light on details, spelling out no specific commitment to north korea aside from working toward complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula, a promise the regime has repeatedly made and broken since the 1990s. Dona trump is confident this time is different. Chairmam once to resolve the problem. I wasnt playing around, he is not playing around. The hard part is nailing down those details. The next meeting with the north koreans is not been set but he expected could happen quickly. Shannon thank you very much. Secretary of state mike pompeo is on his way to brief top summit confident negotiations will happen very quickly. Greg is live in seoul th an update. Good morning. That is right. Secretary of state mike pompeo is on a reassuring mission following the summit in singapore between donald trump and kim jong un. He is here in seoul right now, he met with south korean pres. Moon who has been critical to this process here and in south korea and Japanese Force and sinister came over as well and a major talking point by donald trump to suspend us and south korea military exercises and that has critics around the world and here in this region wondering if donald trump has made a major concession. Pompeo said again this would only happen as long as north korea was involved in substantial substantive negotiations with the United States. Years more of what he said a short time ago. The world should rest assured the United States and the republic of japan are committed to the complete verifiable and irreversibleearization of north korea. The us alliance wh Eastern Countries are absolutely ironclad. We have developed a close friendship and we will continue to closely coordinate with respect to north korea as we move forward. Secretary pompeo went on to say kim jongcording to donald trump understands the urgency of the need to denuclearize. Andre would be noemov sanctions until that denuclearization happens. Talks will resume as soon as next week. Pompeo has said they could see substantial disarmament in the next 2years and goes on to beijing this afternoon korea time, china time in a meeting with officials including chinese thank you very much. Our nextst was a bit surprised with regard to the joint military exercises with south korea and how they are dealing with tonight. My grounds sits on the Senate Armed Services committee. You said you were surprised he went that far. Pompeo has said it is only premised on the facthat good negotiations continue otherwise the exercises are back on do you have clarity . More than what we had earlier. Tha not what it was. He said we will take a break and for north korea this is a big deal. Basis and it is our practiced invasion of north korea and we do that with south korea and participate with japan as well. This is what we were looking at. These can be reinstated quickly, the president could step back and say the deal is off, we are not going to have the summit and once there was additional negotiation we could put the deal back on and have on the same date. The same thing could occur here. Lets give the president the opportunity to succeed. Everything starts with a first step. It was a very good first step. Lets give the president the opportunity to negotiate something besides going to war. The top senate democrats, Chuck Schumer, where we are now. Russia and china have gained while our allies like south korea and japan have los footing and some degree of faith in americas reliability. Pompeo insta china now. Do you agree with mr. Schumers assessment . I disagree with his assessment. China clearly had a role to play, they participated. South korea wants this to happen. Japan does not want to be in the middle of an armed conflict. They have multiple types of ons. Chemical weapons and so fo south korea would feel the brunt of it, japan is in the target as well. They went to see this peacefully resolved, they dont want to give them something they would not otherwise have but allow this president the opportunity to take more than one step. Allow him the chance to find a way to get out of the mess of the last couple decades. That is what this president is trying to do. America should be supporting the president to peacefully get away with us. America does not look for wars, we try to resolve taving a very strong offense and defense, you can convince your adversaries is better to find a peaceful solution than to continue to focus. It has been under the radar but tht china, hacking into information involving submarine program. I want to read something from the washington post. The report says Chinese Government attackers of compromi the computers of the Navy Contract dealing massive amounts of Sensitive Data related to undersea warfare including secret plans to develop a supersonic antishould missile for use onbmarines by 2020 acrding to american officials would you ask the navy to explain what is happened. You get a briefing . I serve as subcommittee chairman on cybersecurity for the armed serves committee. I have asked tut wha happened, why we havent bee advised earlier what this looks like. This is not a first time Something Like this is happened. We had information on people trying to get into our systems and it is not just in the pentagon but in our contractors, within our critical infrastructure. There are 5 different domains you can go to war, air, land, sea, space and cyberspace. When it comes to cyberspace we are being attacked every single day thousands of times per day. Our systems cant simply withstand that type of attack all the time without responding. We are working normally strengthening our defenses but as the dod actually suggested a year ago last february, we have to have a very potent offense that we are not afraid to use to go after these folks who are constantly trying to get inside our systems so we have to find out what damage was done and how they got in and what we can do to respond accordingly not just this time but in the future as well. The reminder this is happening all the time and whatever you can tell us let us know what you find out. Thank you so mh. New tonight calls for democrats to, quote, play dirty this november with a number of provocative proposals aimed at ensuring they get and keower like putting california into 7 different states. And Leslie Marshall weighing in on the optimistic predictions about the midterms and why the House Intelligence Committee top democrat adam schiff planning to go after Jared Kushner and ivanka trump.

A proposal to split california into three different state it is not fake news, a proposal to the california into 3 different states has gotten enough signatures to get onto vember ballot and theres a mountain of political strategy behind this idea. Trace gallagher on theest coast bureau. You have 3 states to choose from in the fall. Where would you live. The initiative would work like a big ugorce with 3 spouses, Northern California, Southern California and counties from los angeles through Santa Barbara would make a New California and divide the assets and liabilities like the college and university systems, prisons, power grids and water rights. Some of california gets its water from Northern California and that would spark a major legal battle. All this is predicated on voter approval and a recent poll by survey usa says 72 of registered voters oppose the split, only 17 supported and even if for some reason voters say yes it then has to beig off by the state legislature and the u. S. Congress. The measure was backed and funded by billionaire investor tim draper, the same man who spent millions trying to split california into six dates in 2012, and 2014. He says the State Government has rotted. In california we cant do worspae ghest taxes and get the worst service, the worst education, the worst infrastructure. Medical disagree california has bigtime problems like taxes and housing costs but they said dividing the state into 3 would lead to chaos and cost tens of billions of dollars, the group opposing the split called one california says splitting california into 3 new states will triple the amount of special interests, lobbyists, politicians and bureaucracy. There are political ramifications, we would gain for new us senators to keep the same number of congressional seats. The New California Northern California would likely stay democratic, Southern California would likely become a swing state. David ferris, a political scientist at
