Clinton. The president said this. Fbi Deputy DirectorAndrew Mccabe is racing the clock to retire with full benefits. 90 days to go. Steve harrington is reporting from West Palm Beach could not from weather president s day. What is the reaction to mccabe . Has been under sharp criticism for a variety of different issues and much of the past year. Including biased because his wife accepted Campaign Contributions from clinton loyalists. Today early in the president tweeted this. How can fbi Deputy Director, Andrew Mccabe, the man in charge, along with james comey of the funny Hillary Clinton investigation, concluded that 33,000 illegally deleted emails, be given 700,000 for the campaign by clinton puppets during investigation. Mccabe was grilled for two days on capitol hill by lawmakers this week. And the white house is also denying what he calls outrageous claims by the New York Times, right . That is right. This was a harsh pushback by the press secretary sarah sanders. She called the outrageous lies by the New York Times. She also said that the senior staff involved in the meeting also denied the claims. It comes from a june meeting in the oval office where the president was accusing the article of making disparaging comments about different immigrant groups. Think article said the president said that they had aids and other nigerian immigrants he says they will never go back to their hearts went there back in the as per the New York Times says that use Anonymous Sources that were at the meeting and were briefed on the oval office meeting. The white house also vanessa plan with antitank missiles for ukraine. This is mark a major escalation . It really does. On the ground it could be a game changer. It certainly a big shift in us policy. Providing only nonlethal aid to ukraine to legal aid. These antitank missiles are about 75 a missile. And with them, one soldier can take on a russian backed tank from a mile and and a half away. Russia is protesting. They say this will lead to more bloodshed. But us Officials Say these are defensive weapons. That ukraine is only trying to defend its territorial integrity. Back to you. Thank you steve. The news is not slowing down at the white house. For more ideas hopes to achieve with this regarding ukraine, lets bring in a retired cia station chief that served five years in moscow and is currently Vice President of policy work. Thank you for joining us on this holiday weekend. It is busy out there. First, how significant of a switch is this . As far as our policy in ukraine and providing this weaponry, this defense weaponry . Let me start by making two points. First, this should not come as a surprise the russians. The Trump Administration has been talking about providing legal aid going back to july of this year. And you may recall the presence beach and poland in which he called on russia to seize the destabilizing activities and ukraine secondly, the antitank weapons are very important to russians. Theyre sending tanks to the separatists in the region and these weapons will definitely help the ukrainians pushback. An insert some attempt at least more effectively to have integrity in the region. After moscows annexation of crimea in 2014, this has been a deadly conflict for most folks refer to this as a lowgrade work. Many have been killed. He spent time in moscow could you are aware that russia had a very active propaganda machine. In this is his essay by the us taking this action it will only push the Ukrainian Forces towards work. What would you respond, essentially to that coming from the russians . It is typical of the russians to try and twist things like that. It is the russians who have been the ones mounting aggressive military campaigns against the ukrainians. It really goes back to april 2008. When nato announced the plans to issue a membership action plan to ukraine. That really cause questions raised concern. And then of course, the russians were supporting the process from the region and crimea. There will be significant bloodshed in ukraine. Hostilities have increased over the last couple of weeks. But it is russia who is at fault. Theyre trying to impose a modernday version of the doctrine were they really limit the sovereignty of the nations and the former soviet union. And i have said very clear that they believe is russia has provided the truce and the tanks of course that they need this missiles corporate senior Russian Diplomats make the argument that arming the ukraine, the United States raises the danger in the presence of peaceful settlement and ukraine. Where were we on the peaceful settlement process . Wasnt going anywhere. One might make the argument that by providing these antitank weapons, we are showing the russians that we have some skin in the game. We are supporting a democratically elected government in ukraine. And there may be any hope for some sort of peace settlement maybe this will help drive it. But ultimately think the russian endgame for ukraine really is to support the separatist movement. Perhaps even integrate them in some fashion into ukraine as 1 5 column to ensure that ukraine never joins nato, never join the european union. It is really an threat to their security. This is unlikely to warm any of our relations with russia. And this is something that Vladimir Putin might have a broader strategy regarding. It is the opportunity of the us to push back against the broader aggressive strategy that russia is putting forward . I think we have a multipronged strategy with russia. We saw a week ago or so when the president had a very friendly conversation over the phone with president putin. There was some cooperation on counterterrorism. I think there is a little bit of albeit constrained, opportunities for us to Work Together with the russians encounter narcotics and counterterrorism while at the same time serving our own National Security interest. In this case in the ukraine. It could also be opportunity on armscontrol discussions. Maybe Something Limited unlikely as well. It is a complex relationship. I think we have to understand the nuance and those who made too much of the president s polite conversation with Vladimir Putin should now take a look at this very forceful assertion of the National Security policy. Danielle, thank you very much. We appreciate it. Thank you. Lawmakers in congress out of town for the holiday. But they left behind a lengthy to do list. One of the most pressing issues that will face when they return will be funding the federal government. A temporary spending bill is set to expire in january 19. Ellison barber is joining us on this. What are the Top Priorities into the new year . They really have for better or worse a wealth of options. As he said, the federal budget is keeping the government open. It is going to be the big priority. A stopgap measure passed only keep the government funded until january 19. Mostly at current levels. But at least one republican is optimistic that january 19 will not be as chaotic as things were this week. I think january 19 will look a lot different than december 21 did. Passing tax reform did not have a lot of options in the room. I do not think we were able to get the deal we wanted. Hopefully not in the past tax reform that we can get on and have a good longterm solution and then daca will be part of the process. Does it expect immigration to be a priority earlier in the year. Infrastructure as well. We are working through some of the Top Priorities. I think you can expect welfare reform, infrastructure, immigration reform, all to be top of mind. Something we will look at and talk about a lot. Congress did not talk about disaster aid. And a program that some like rand paul are not very big fans of. You cannot reauthorize forever, a program because there would be no over second intention is to spy on foreigners, am fine with that. But americans by the laser caught up in this database and we should restrict the government from looking at americans data. Phone calls, emails, you name it. We should restrict the government from doing that without the permission of a judge. That is what the constitution says and i will fight that tooth and nail. Democrats really want to see movement when it comes to immigration and the dreamers. They were not pleased when it was at the stopgap measure. Jeff flake signature leader, mitch mcconnell, promised to hold a vote on daca legislation in january. There are a lot of competing ambitions down there. Will they have good time to get it done . Congress is starting the new year with a list which is not that uncommon for congress in general. And this Congress Left town for the holiday and really did not do much to lighten the load in january. In some ways, they took away time. The government is funded until january 19 but the house is that the qucbec january 3. Leadership decided to extend the break and now they will not return for work until january 8. They just shrunk the time that they had to work for themselves. We shall see what happens a very short amount of time. Thank you for keeping an eye on this elected president and the possibility of working with democrats, things like infrastructure. Can the president because i get democrats on board with his agenda . And has opened up a new working relationship with republican tax reform . Well talk a little more about that a little bit later here on the fox report. Right on uproar over email is leading to major changes with the miss america organization. The ceo is stepping down and he is not the only one leaving. Plus, a gunman goes on a shooting spree that targeted Police Officers and ultimately left him dead. Now investigators are looking into the suspects ties overseas. Attended the firecrackers at first.

His resignation coming after leaked emails show that he uses sexist and crude terms. The miss America President s, just randall and the chairman are also out. One of the women ridiculed in the emails is a four miss america asking people to contact her if they were warned not to work with her. She worked with the pageant interview coach after her stint as miss america. A gunman accused of targeting police in a separate shooting killed by the very officers that he allegedly fired up.

The now deceased gunman, has been identified as a 51yearold, ahmed elmofti. Authorities say up until now, kept a low profile. The local District Attorney tells us that he was believed to be egyptian and that he returned from the middle east in october. He says that he quote primary aspect of the investigation is learning and he had anything to terrorism, Mental Health issues are also being investigated. At this point, nothing is being ruled out. I started to say that the quickacting cops saved lives. This could have been a really tragic incident with this individual. Hiring many shots at police cars in downtown harrisburg. During rush hour traffic on friday afternoon. Then coming up here in a residential neighborhood and firing again, many shots. According to a published report, ahmed elmofti his brotherinlaw was shot by the shooting and that he said quote that is not his behavior at home. Can you take us through the timeline . This began a little after 4 oclock friday afternoon. On a street between Pennsylvania StateCapital Building and the federal courthouse. Ahmed elmofti fired several rounds at an officers patrol car. About 20 minutes later he opened fire on a state trooper. A bullet grazed her head. Ahmed elmofti fired several more rounds, the wounded trooper still in her car flag and pursue. Minutes later at one third location, ahmed elmofti open fire on harrisburg police. That is where he was shot and killed. Local residents heard a hail of bullets. It sounded like firecrackers at first. Then i heard a barrage of shots. We got to the alley up there and a cop was there. He had his long rifle out there. He said get back. And then the cop came down. He shoots the cops. You get what you get. The fbi is the lead agency in the investigation. Theyre asking anyone with information to call 2154814000 for go to tips. Fbi.
