President he is not a target of the Michael Cohen investigation. That cohen is the only target of that investigation. You will remember a week ago monday cohens office, home and hotel room were raided by the fbi and taking everything in there. Cohen had 3 clients, the major one was the president. Rod rosenstein telling the president he is not a target. Which raises a question how does he know that to be a fact if prosecutors have not had an opportunity to look at the materials that were seized in cohens home because they were tied up in litigation the president and cohen to have a special master look at those to determine which ones are subject to attorneyclient privilege. And the revelation that Rudy Giuliani is joining the team. The president said rude segreat. Hes been my friend for a long time and wants to get this matter quickly resolved for the good of the country. Back to the assurance from Rod Rosenstein that the president was not a target of the cohen investigation, should information arise where the president becomes a target of that investigation, that could be a problem for the investigation because here you have the Deputy Attorney general saying hes not a target. Then suddenly he becomes a target. There were prominent people in that room. All of this on another busy day for the white house that began with a trip to the florida keys. President trump had Border Security on his mind today jetting off to key west this morning, ground zero in the east coast battle against drugs and Human Trafficking.

North Koreas Nuclear program in a summit with kim jongun. With japans primetime said he will walk if kim is not series about denuking. If the meeting when i am there is not fruitful, i will respectfully leave the meeting. Today south korea announced that kim dropped his demands that u. S. Troops vacate as a condition to dismantle his nuclear program. Among the possible sights for the meeting are singapore, sweden and switzerland. Less likely is vietnam. As President Trump works on a north korea break through, relations with russia took another hit. Russia demanding compensation for tariffs on steel and aluminum. They say those tariffs protect u. S. Companies and not a matter of national security. Despite a sunday claim by nikki haley that more sanctions again russia were imminent, President Trump said nothing is planned. At least not right now. That is a question. There has been nobody tough or russia than President Trump. The president was asked about it yesterday but did not respond. What was responsible for the disconnect about russi iaian sanctions and what the United Nations ambassador said on sunday bret john, thanks. The former number 2 of the fbi who was terminated hours before retirement is facing serious legal trouble. Catherine has the latest on that. A source confirms that the Justice Department watch dog made a criminal referral to the u. S. Attorney here. They said mccabe lied 3 times under oath about his role in the fbis investigation of the Hillary Clinton foundation. It mirrors the language contained in a federal statute that covers lying to federal investigators and reads in part in our view the evidence is substantial. Direct comey said he had no knowledge of the referral. Given that the igs report reflects interactions that Andrew Mccabe had with me, i could not be a witness. Criminal referrals are usually secret. Mccabes lawyer told fox news we are confident unless there is inappropriate pressure from high levels of the administration the u. S. Attorneys office will decline to prosecute. Two sources told fox news the seven comey memos could be delivered to capitol hill by the Justice Department as soon as tonight after fox news confirmed the republican chairman of the house judiciary commit failed to issue a suspect. Bret the republican chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee will work on a deal to protect the job of special counsel Robert Mueller. The chairman chuck said Mitch Mcconnells position against the measure wont affect what happens in miscommittee. Tonight we take you to the syria border with turkey. You will hear from a man who said he was injured in that recent chemical attack in sear yo. Syria. Benjamin hall said inspectors are still not given access to ground zero. They have sanitized the locations of the suspected attacks and remove incriminating evidence of chemical weapons. They claim that gunfire kept the rebels back but fox news learned that the rebels were bussed out of the area 10 days ago. Fox also learned that the bodies of those who died in the attack were taken from their graves by the regime. Doctors who treated the victims have been detained and threatened if they give evidence. E despite the attempts, the truth is emerging bit. By bit we are able to paint a picture of what happened in that terrible chemical weapons attack in duma. Every day evidence and witnesses come across the border wall with more horrific details. This person claims to be a survive. I saw hundred of injured bodies lying in the corridors. Some dying of gas. Others we conventional weapons. White foam came out of their mouths and noses. The pentagon acknowledged that stock piles remain. They will have the ability to conduct limited attacks in the future. They have to look over their shoulder and be worried we will have the ability to strike them again. Syria rebel leaders have shown gratitude for the strikes but hope the u. S. Will do more. There is an enemy growing strong. The alliance of iran and russia rebels tell me that the americans took blood and urine samples from survivors of the attack. Bret. Bret benjamin, thank you. The treasury secretary in the u. S. Is trying to clarify the administrations intentions regarding future sanctions against russia. Nikki haley and the president top Economic Advisor were not on the same page regarding the white house plan and how in the loop nikki haley was on sanctions policy. The treasury secretary weighed in today. We refined the strategy after nikki haley made that announcement between saturday and sunday and monday. We refined the strategy and i woo we will continue to refine the strategy. We will use these tools but wont broadcast to the world our exact thinking. Bret he said she was not hanging in the wind. President trump asserted that no one has been tougher on russia than he has. It will be easier for u. S. Defense contractors to sell armed drones to foreign governments. The u. S. Government must still approve the sales and they will be subject to congressional review. Cuba has a new president tonight. For the first time in 6 decades, his name is not castro. As steve tells us, little else is changing. Canel received 603 out of 604 votes. He was the sole candidate. He is the first noncastro to rule cuba in 60 years and is 30 years younger than the man he replaces. Cuban Officials Say nothing will change and raule castro will remain head of the communist party. This will give continuity to the cuban revolution. Critics agreed nothing has changed and the long awaited departure of the castros is no cause for celebration. This has been a farce, smoke and mirrors, nothing more than rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic. We know what happened there. This wont end well. Thats what is happening with the restructuring of cuban government. Relations with the u. S. Have worsened. The state economy produces less sugar, fish and tobacco than before the 1959 government revolution. Through a combination of ruthlessness and charisma the castros hung on to power for 60 years. Now that will be tested in a new generation. Bret steve, thanks. The number of prescriptions filled for opioids is going down in the u. S. And fast. Orders filled dropped 9 across the u. S. Last year. Thats the biggest fall off in a quarter century. Half of u. S. States inacted restrictions on opioids since the number of deaths sky rocketed in recent years. Lance armstrong reached a 5 million settlement with the federal government in a whistle blower lawsuit stemming from his admission of using steroids and other performance enhancing drugs. For years he denied those allegations. A former cycling teammate filed a lawsuit and the government joined in. The 7time Tour De France champion rode for a Team Sponsored by the u. S. Postal service. Authorities say a Delta Airlines secret that departed from atlanta to london had to turn around after a smoke was coming from an engine. It returned safely to atlanta last night. There were no injuries. Regulators are expected to order inspections on the engine fan blades like the one that snapped off the Southwest Airlines plane on tues. A woman died despite efforts to save her. God put people on that plane for a reason. Everybody stood strong. Finally made it to the ground. Just thankful. Bret last year Southwest Airlines south more times to inspect fan blades. Up next california communities fight back against the states sanctuary cities policies. Fox 51 in florida where two suffer deputies were shot and killed at a restaurant. A suspect fired through the window. The attorney general in florida called that attack senseless and offered prayers to the families. The alleged gunman is reported to be dead. The Sheriffs Office said no suspects are at large. In philadelphia the Police Commissioner apologized to two black man arrested at a starbucks. Ross who is black said the issue of race is not lost on him and he should not be the person making things worse. A live look at denver from fox 31. One of the big stories. Survivors of februarys Florida School shooting come to colorado for tomorrows 19th anniversary of the columbine massacre.

We came with big appetites. With expedia, you could book a flight, hotel, car, and activity all in one place. But prevagen helps your brain with an ingredient originally discovered. In jellyfish. In clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve shortterm memory. Prevagen. The name to remember. The best simple salad ever . D great tasting, hearthealthy california walnuts. So simple, so good. Get the recipes at walnuts. Org. Bret we told you earlier this week the roster of communities opposing californias sanctuary state policies is growing. One of the major factors is the proliferation of dangerous gang activity. William tells us about it tonight from los angeles. Personally dont let ms13 slide. That is rejected by others. Sanctuary cities released 142 gang members across america. Despite deportation orders from ice. Twothirds of the group with the violent ms13 gang were released in california by sheriffs. Orange county and a dozen communities are fighting back joining a federal lawsuit against the statute prohibiting police from communicating with ice on gang members and criminal aliens. I see a conflict between the constitution of the United States and the state constitution. One city exempted itself from the sanctuary statue. Their actions are unlawful. This is an important state law that upholds the great california values of inclusion. They are human beings. They have families. Its important that they be integrat integrat integrated in a humane way. Between 1 and 3 inmates walk away freely in san diego. San diego county voted to sign the fight. A federal Appeals Court in chicago upheld a nationwide injunction against the administrations effort to punish sanctuary cities by withholding federal funds. Bret thanks. Now to an issue of not so free speech in a place that is supposed to be all about free speech. Academia in wisconsin. It we began with a simple conversation with an upset student and his instructor. At the marquette university, an unidentified male student approached a teacher after a philosophy class and told her he was upset because during the class she dismissed a broader conversation about gay marriage because he claims she believes in it. Fox news listened to a portion of the recording. E the student gave a copy of the recording to an associate professor mcadams who wrote about it on his blog. Mcadams posteda link to one of her essays linked to Contact Information on her public web page. Then she received threatening messages and she left marquette testifying that the emails i was getting were frightening. A few people mailed me physical letters that were even more frightening. Marquette suspended mcadams on the grounds that he violated privacy by exposing her Contact Information. The marquette president wrote to mcadams he could return if he admitted he was acting recklessly. I was supposed to apologize. I would not do that. I engaged in state forward journalism. If the state extremities if the state Supreme Court rules in favor of marquette, mcadams will never be a professor again. Bret thanks. Up next, an update on another trial. This trial over a huge Telecom Merger that could have major effects on you and your family. Beyond our borders, the power is back on in most of puerto rico. The island experienced a massive blackout yesterday caused when a transmission line was hit. Another big culture change in saudi arabia. The blockbuster black panther premiered last night in their first movies theatre. The policy change is part of sweeping social reforms such as allowing women to drive. A 19yearold syrian turned himself into police after his violent attack on a man wearing a jewish skull cap in berlin caused outrage across germany. The assault was caught on video. The victim said he was not jewish but wore it as an experiment. It went viral and reopened the debate about antisemitism in that country. Well be right back. Hey we didnt have a homeowners claim last year so allstate is giving us money back on our bill. Well, that seems fair. We didnt use it. Wish we got money back on gym memberships. Get money back hilarious. With claimfree rewards. Switching to allstate is worth it. Your society was led by a woman, who governed thousands. Commanded armies. Yielded to no one.

The latest on the move that could affect the way and your family get entertainment. Good evening. This 5 week trial is drawing to the end. Top executives are making their case. The chief executive of timewarner defended his companys merger with at t. The at t chief executive spoke and boltstered this underdogs argument. They say at t and timewarner must combine so they survive. They spoked about the power of silicone valley giants like netflix and apple. Some agree this makes sense. Netflix and amazon have a lot of cash to spend. Netflix spends 8 billion on original content this year. Amazon about 5 billion. The Justice Department disagrees with the logic and think the deal would hurt consumers. Both timewarner and at t say it would not happen that way and its unusual for the federal government to step in and block a merger of companies that dont directly compete with one another. They suggested that the Justice Department was swayed to block the deal by president ial colticks. President trump said the deal should be denied and bashed cnn for coverage of his administration. The Justice Department denies political interference. Investigators are watching this trial closely for clues as to how the division will shape the entertainment landscape. Bret one to watch. Deidre bolton, thank you. We continue our reporting about the future of the family farm. This evening doug on the struggle to preserve not just the livelihood but a way of life.

Every little bit helps to stretch razor thin Profit Margins for this 100yearold family business. I am 4th in line and i hope my son or daughter will be fifth or both. I dont know that they will. You think about the complexity of the commitment that costs more than anything else the farm own including the land itself. The unpredictable of the seed stock and the weather. So many things can go wrong. The numbers are startling. Over 12,000 u. S. Farms went out of business in 2017. Farm incomes dropped 52 in 5 years. Bankruptcies are up 33 in the past 2 years. And two key universities informed us that the farms they use to model Economic Conditions are in poor condition. And they have the high
