Ever ordered surveillance on a u. S. Citizen. Senator Lindsey Graham saying no matter what happened, we these to get to the bottom of these accusations. I am very worried. Im very worried that our president is suggesting that the former president has done something illegally. I would be very worried if, in fact, the Obama Administration was able to the obtain a warrant lawfully about Trump Campaign activity with foreign governments. So its my job as a United States senator to get to the bottom of this. Julie the tweets come amid be a number of damaging headlines for the Trump Administration over the past week including reports that Vice President mike pence used a private email account during his time as governor of indiana, an account, by the way, which was hacked. Questions also circulating about attorney general Jeff Sessions and the Trump Campaigns possible ties to russia. And we have Fox Team Coverage on all of that for you tonight. Lauren bran card is covering the latest on attorney general Jeff Sessions as he meets with President Trump this evening, as we speak, and Garrett Tenney is here this studio with me with more on the protrump protests happening across the country today including here in new york city. But we begin with kristin fisher, she joins us live from palm beach, florida, with the latest on where she is. And, kristin, has the white house offered any evidence to support this claim . Reporter julie, we have been waiting all day to get some kind of reaction from the white house about these claims, and and so far nothing. It has been complete radio silence. The white house has not offered any official to speak on the record about these bombshell accusations that President Trump made this morning. No chance to back up these claims. And the big claim is that former president barack obama ordered the wiretapping of phones inside trump tower during the campaign. Heres one of the tweets this morning that started it all. He said, quote how low has president obama gone to tap my phones during the very sacred election process . This is nixon watergate, bad or sick guy. In response, democratic congressman adam schiff said if there is something bad going on, it is the willingness of the nations chief executive to make the most outlandish and destructive claims without providing a scintilla of evidence to support them, and again we are still waiting for the white house to provide some kind of evidence to back up these claims. Now, these accusations appear to have been inspired by a report in Breitbart News which used to be run by steve bannon. The report claims that the Obama Administration submitted a request through the secretive fisa court, thats the foreign Intelligence Surveillance court, to monitor communications involving the candidate trump, thencandidate trump and some campaign officials. It was reportedly rejected in june but approved in october right before the election, right when all these allegations were heating up. Thats the claim, but again, theres no proof. Listen to how republican senator Lindsey Graham puts it all in per speght spective. I dont know if its true or not, but if it is true, illegally it would be the biggest political scandal since watergate. If the former president of the United States was able to obtain a warrant lawfully to monitor Trumps Campaign for violating a law, that would be the biggest scandal since watergate. Reporter so either way the biggest political scandal since watergate according to senator Lindsey Graham. Pretty bold claim. Harris . Julie, excuse me. Julie thats okay. Let me ask you, how is former president obama reacting to all this . Obviously, hes being accused of something pretty serious. Any word from him . Reporter well, he actually a spokesbeman, and it was really interesting, though, because it was not quite as ironclad of a denial as perhaps it could have been. Heres the full statement from this spokesman. Quote with a Cardinal Rule of the Obama Administration was that no white house official ever interfered with any independent investigation led by the department of justice. As part of that practice be, neither president obama nor any white house official ever ordered surveillance on any u. S. Citizen. Any suggestion otherwise is completely false. There you have the spokesman saying neither he, there are the white house ordered any wiretapping inside trump tower, but he doesnt mention the fbi or the department of justice, and, you know, its not really his place to do so, but it still kind of leaves the door open there. Not quite as ironclad of a denial as it could have been, julie. Julie and we havent really heard from the white house since this morning when President Trump put out those tweets. Reporter no. Julie what is President Trump up to tonight, do we know . Reporter well, he should be just wrapping up a meeting right now with his Homeland Security secretary and attorney general Jeff Sessions. They were likely meeting to discuss the roll utah of his revised version of his executive order on extreme vetting and immigration. That is expected to come out sometime early next week. And tonight theyre having there this big dipper at maralago. The Homeland Security secretary, attorney general Jeff Sessions, the newlyconfirmed commerce secretary and hen several senior and then several senior aides to President Trump including Steven Miller and steve bannon. So certainly, no shortage of dinner conversation tonight at maralago, julie. Julie all right. His work on the continue continues through the weekend on florida as he has been doing every weekend. Thank you, kristin fisher. And as you just hearksd President Trump is scheduled to meet this hour with his attorney general at his florida estate. The Justice Department meantime says Jeff Sessions will answer questions about his contact with the Russian Ambassador, but the answers will come in writing, not in a repeat appearance before the judiciary committee. Lauren blanchard is in our washington bureau, and so let me ask you, will this do enough to calm down the critics . Let me guess, no. [laughter] reporter julie, i dont think it is going to calm anyone down, and now that democrats have been denied to publicly question sessions and will only get written answers, they remain democrats remain adamant that sessions should resign amid claims that he committed perjury in his confirmation hearing. I think attorney general sessions should step down. I can tell you what i know, the way i grew up when you tell something thats not true, you dont say youre a perjurer [laughter] you say youre a liar. And i think he lied. Reporter Nine Senate Democrats sent a letter to senator Chuck Grassley asking for sessions to be forced to explain in front of a panel why he did not disclose in his confirmation hearing recentlydiscovered conversations with the Russian Ambassador that took place during the campaign. Senator grassley, who denied the request, said there are no plans to ask sessions the come before the committee before the customary be annual oversight hearing. And democrats say sessions recusing himself from the investigation into russia and Election Hacking doesnt adequately answer their many questions. Julie . Julie and so a number of democrats have actually called for sessions to step down. Now, this was before he recused himself, and this was before he decided he would go ahead and answer questions in rig writing, so he has done a lot to aease those critics, but are the democrats still calling for him to step down . Reporter we know what allegations of too cozy a relationship with russia and misinformation on those ties have already done, its brought down one of President Trumps cabinet members, former National Security adviser michael flynn. And while democrats are calling for sessions resignation, republicans are trying to save face saying this is just the other side playing politics. When it comes to serious investigations about russian involvement in our elections, to a federal Law Enforcement investigation, these are not things that should be debated while theyre ongoing in the public. There should be transparency, but it has the impact you could potentially impact the investigation by talking about them prematurely. Reporter republicans say that what sessions did by heating with the Russian Ambassador meeting with the Russian Ambassador while still a senator, it wasnt illegal, nor did he perjure himself, and sessions recusing himself from the hacking investigation isnt necessary, but they say it may help the credibility of the Justice Department. Julie . Julie lauren blanchard, thank you very much. Appreciate it. So amid the tensions over alleged ties between his campaign and russia, President Trump now reportedly telling advisers and allies he may put off a plan to pursue a deal with moscow on isis and other National Security matters. The president reportedly saying russias recent violation of a cold war era arms treaty is making a diplomatic and Security Agreement tougher to achieve. President trump also supporting support tokers, rather, gathering in the march for trump. March 4th, march 4 trump. Get it . Lets take a listen. [cheers and applause] im proud to be standing before you today on the proud steps of government julie as many as 100 people showing up for the rally in d. C. Gathering near the Washington Monument and then marching over to the white house. Large crowds also turning out in new york city and palm beach, florida. Supporters saying they want to show pride in President Trumps presidency. Garrett tenney joins me in the studio. Great to have you in hi. Great to be here. Julie there were also some antitrump protests, what were they like today. At least a couple dozen, and a lot of them said from the get go their goal was to shut down think support for President Trump. And when you to do that, you have to look no further than one of the activist groups names, by any means necessary. Thats why things got ugly this afternoon in berkeley, california, where a few dozen Trump Supporters had started to gather for a march for trump rally when some of the protesters went up to the group and started arguing which led to shoving and fists flying. Since then the protests have continued to grow and the fights have continued the break out as well. Police are on hand and hoping to avoid a repeat of what we saw on berkeleys campus one month ago when riots broke out. Earlier today in ohio antitrump protesters at a counterdemonstration carried um principle rahs and walked into a protrump rally. You can hear them cheering on to stop the american flag. We should point out that those two clashes stand in stark contrast to the many other protrump rallies that were scheduled across the country today. Julie because, for the most part, you know, these protests have been pretty peaceful. Yeah. Julie but when you get the two, pros and against, together thats when the clashes tend to fire up. What were rallies like other places in the country . There was a lot of them, more than 100 in more than 40 states, and this was really a grassroots effort by those who voted for the president and really a wanted the show him they still stand behind him and what hes doing. The rallies and marches ranged from a few dozen people to several hundred like this one in North Carolina and this rally in miami, florida, where supporters carried signs including some that said immigrants for trump and he is my president. Take a listen to one of those supporters. The people supporting donald trump 100 because everybody want a change. And the change is almost here now. Just north of there in palm beach, florida, crowds lined the streets with signs and banners praising and cheering on the president as he returned to his maralago club, and they even got a bit of a surprise when the president got out to thank them for their support. Julie no, theres a lot of excitement every time he goes down there, and hes been doing it every weekend with. Security, also, must be quite an adventure for Law Enforcement down in florida you have the coast guard there crewel jewell unlike anything theyve ever seen at maralago. The faa, the airport is right next to it, the coast guard is on ski boats, motor craft, its an allout effort there. Julie this used to be a country club and a place to golf. Now its a whole other world. Garrett tenney, great to see you. Well, right now the United Nations looking into reports of a chemical weapons attack in mosul. As thousands of people flee the region, the new concerns as Iraqi Forces Drive isis militants out of that city. Plus, the new reports from iran are about a military exercise that allegedly tested a russianmade air Defense System. So what happens next . Thats all still ahead on the fox report. People would ask me in Different Countries that we traveled, what is your nationality and i would always answer hispanic. So when i got my ancestry dna results it was a shocker. Im from all nations.

Geico motorcycle, great rates for great rides. Julie thousands of people fleeing the violence in mosul as u. S. Backed iraqi forces fight to liberate the countrys last isis stronghold. This comes amid reports of a terror attack in the eastern part of the city. Doctors in the area saying they are treating multiple patients for chemical weapons exposure. Many of them children, and those tears just break your heart. John huddys has more from jerusalem. Reporter well, julie, this isnt the first time that isis has been accused of using chemical weapons not only on iraqi troops but, again, innocent men, women and children. And the u. N. Warns that if indeed true, this latest attack in eastern mosul would constitute a war crime and a serious violation of international law. A dozen people, including several children, were hospitalized with burns, respiratory problems and ore conditions consistent with chemical weapons exposure. In fact, this video in some parts was just too graphic the show. This woman says her daughters legs were burned along with her own hands and feet. [speaking in native tongue] translator a rocket landed at our house and exploded emitting oily material and spraying us. Reporter so far thousands of civilians have escaped from western mosul or are trying to escape as iraqs military continues its major offensive there. Iraqi troops liberated eastern mosul in january. Isis has been using mortar and rocket fire, snipers, car bombs, suicide attacks to try to repel advancing iraqi troops while using people as human shields and executing civilians as they try to escape. This man said his family fled at night and then described how families which are caught fleeing are beaten while the men are executed. [gunfire] reporter in january Iraqi Special forces found isis chemical weapons labs and an arsenal of chemical weapons, mortars and rockets, some loaded with chlorine and mustard gas in eastern mosul. Now, doctors say that those hospitalized in this latest attack are expected to recover from the their wounds, so thats at least some good news. But there remains serious concern among iraqi officials and military commanders that as isis loses ground, the militants will become more desperate, using any and all means possible including chemical weapons to hurt, maim and kill not only iraqi troops, but innocent civilians as well. Julie . Julie john huddy, thank you. Irans staterun media says the country has test fired an air Defense System purchased from russia. The report says the test happened during a military exercise in irans central desert targeting several flying objects including missiles. Well, state tv aired this footage of the missiles launching from be trucks. Iran apparently signed the 800 Million Contract with russia nearly ten years ago, but russia suspended delivery of the Defense System after objections from the u. S. And is
