Shepard phil keating live. Georgia as i reported, the Democrat Stacey Abrams is still fighting to become the first block governor in u. S. History. She said theres enough uncounted ballots to force a runoff. Brian kemp has declared himself the winner. Steve harrigan reporting live from atlanta. Shepard, you can get a sense of confusion when you talk to georgia voters about who has won the governors race in this state. On the one hand, you have brian kemp who says he has won the race. You can see him on television meeting with his transition officials and 11 00 a. M. , we had a tweet from the president that said brian kemp ran a great race in georgia. He won. Its time to move on. And yet the vote itself has not been certified in all georgia counties. Right now kemp stands with 50. 3 of the vote. His democratic opponent, stacy abrams says theres another uncounted votes to drive that below 50 . If that were to happen, that would mean a runoff vote. The first of multiple lawsuits by the abrams camp has been launched to try to count those provisional votes. Abrams says this is part of a bigger struggle. She wrote on twitter, its about fighting for every georgian that cast a ballot with a promise that their vote would count. There could be up to 25,000 uncounted provisional votes out there. The kemp team has dismissed the lawsuits as trivial and they say the democrats are just trying to steal the election through the court system. Shepard .

President trump brushing aside the criticism of Matthew Whitaker as democrats call on him to recuse himself from the special counsel Robert Muellers russia investigation. John roberts reporting live from paris where the president is set to arrive later this hour. He will be here in a short time. He got away late from washington. Were not sure what that does to the schedule. The president taking a tremendous amounted of criticism for the appointment of Matt Whitaker to be the acting attorney general. He was openly critical of the Mueller Investigation and now hes in charge of it. On the south lawn, the president standing behind whitaker but also suggesting that he didnt know much about him before he appointed him. Listen here. I dont know Matt Whitaker. You dont have any problems when he worked for jeff sessions. Hes respected by Law Enforcement, a strong Law Enforcement personality and person. There is a big difference though between Matt Whitaker as chief of staff and the acting attorney general. He didnt know much about whitaker. That would seem to contradict when the president told fox and friends that he had already spoke to whitaker about taking over for sessions. I can tell you, Matt Whitaker is a great guy. I know Matt Whitaker. I never talk about conversations that i had. You know, the Washington Post gets it wrong a lot. The president saying what he wanted in there was a person that was really great and he said he knows that Matt Whitaker has a great reputation and he could have easily brought in somebody from the outside. He thought he would use somebody from the inside. Hes being criticized for putting a chief of staff in that position as opposed to going with somebody that was already in the line of succession, say the Deputy Attorney general, rod rosenstein. We know President Trump has had his problems with rosenstein in the past. Shep . Shepard just in, the aclu is suing to block President Trumps order that denies asylum to migrants if they cross the border without documentation. This would be a direct challenge and not unexpected. No, not unexpected. What is not unexpected, this was filed in san francisco, which just happens to be in the jurisdiction of the ninth Circuit Court of appeals which yesterday ruled against the president on the deferred action for childhood arrivals program. The president saying he signed the executive proclamation to change the rules regarding asylum and the people now who enter the country illegally would no longer be able to claim asylum. Listen here. We need some votes from the democrats or we need support from the democrats and hopefully they see what is going on. The republican this is happening is weve created such a successful country economically that everybody is flooding in to our country or they want to. But were stopping them at the border. Thats why we have our great military there. So the president ial proclamation means that no longer can a person claim asylum. They would have to do it through a port of entry. Not likely in the broader contest that the president will get a lot of support from democrats under his immigration proposal. They might see eye to eye on daca. But democrats will never go for the wall. By the way, shep, the president seeing it as a good thing that the ninth Circuit Court of appeals turned down his executive order at least ruled against his executive order to end the deferred action for childhood Action Program because it now kicks to it the Supreme Court where the president has a comfort 54 conservative majority. Shep . Shepard john roberts reporting from paris. Breaking news now. This is the emergency hearing on the possibility of a recount in Broward County, florida. This is the spot where they have begun the process. They found more votes. Now the hearing is beginning. Live coverage. Listen. I dont know if you had any objection to them intervening with regards to making that argument. Briefly, your honor, yes. Because the intervention would be a side show, the very ney xhur of the action nature of the action. Access to if information that we think were entitled to. It has nothing to do with canvassing votes. The information that the elections supervisor did not provide is required that she has. Specifically 1. 2043. She should have already submitted that information to the department of state. That information should be readily available. This should not be a drain on resources and interfere with the supervisor of elections. I want to end with this complaint to narrowly teller what were thinking, this has nothing to do about counting votes or sections of votes to decide whether theyre in or out, this is simple information about how many votes should be counted, how many are counted and the daily reports required by statute to provide. Your honor, they have the letter [inaudibl [inaudible] the statute says they should be provided under reasonable circumstances, not the next day when they send a letter by lawsuit and having a hearing in the court during an election, to have the supervisor stop we have a definite interest in that sir i will grant the motion to intervene. Thank you, your honor. Thank you, your honor. So we argued about the substance of our complaints and the immediate request for a hearing. I want to address two quick points outside of the complaint. The fact that the statute provides Public Access to that information such as this is unquestioned. Chapter 119 references ballots and ballots information within what is permitted in the record. In fact, this morning, we had a case in Palm Beach County in which the Democratic Party brought and it was undisputed this information is a public record. Shepard lets get some context on this hearing which is expected to be a little bit in the weeds. Fox news sunday anchor Chris Wallace is here. Can you put this in context . In general i can. Rick scott, the governor of florida, that is term limited and running for the u. S. Senate is say they keep counting votes in Broward County and in Palm Beach County. His margin, which was 50,000 is now down to 15,000 since i collection night and he says the Election Officials in those two counties wont even tell us how many votes are out there. I guess the argument is we would like to note what the total universe of votes is even before theyre counted so we dont have this constant erosion and more votes theyre alleges just showing up and appearing. Theyre saying under state regulations, they have the right to know how many total votes are out there even before theyre counted. Shepard the other side is saying its not appropriate nor the governor to exercise his powers over such a matter when he is a party to the event. Yeah, obviously this is before a court now. So the judge is going to decide what to do. Of course, to a certain degree, a lot of this may with settled tomorrow because all counties by law are forced to report to the state election board what their tally is by this saturday afternoon the tuesday of the election. But you know, we saw this in florida back in 2000. As long as you have a lead, you have an advantage. If the other side gets the lead, then its harder to reverse that. So i suspect part of what youre seeing here is that rick scott is saying, you know, this 50,000 vote lead is now already eroded to 15,000. Who knows what happens over the next 24 hours. Hes trying to intervene to the degree that hes able to before he suddenly is behind in this race. Shepard that means big news this sunday on fox news sunday. A couple of important guests.
