Chance about the russia investigation. John roberts princess live from the north lawn with a look at what he wants to know. Good evening, the league of the questions comes just as the legal team has restarted negotiations with Robert Mueller about a possible interview with the president. Im told that tonight to those negotiations are still on track, but many of the president supporters are saying based on this line of inquiry the president should not get anywhere near Robert Mueller. In talks with President Trumps legal team, Robert Mueller revealed 52 questions he wants to ask the president. Four topics. Michael flynn, james comey, Jeff Sessions, donald trump jr. s meeting with the russian attorney. Among the things that he wants to ask, what does President Trump know about calls that general flynn made with kisliak in 2016. Enter they reach out to flynn or discussed him seeking immunity or possible pardon. On james comey he wants to know the purpose of the dinner meeting that the president had with him and whether loyalty was discussed. Also, why President Trump tweeted that james comey better hope that there are no tapes. On Jeff Sessions he wants to ask President Trump about the attorney generals recusal and the president s reaction to the appointment of a special counse counsel. And on donald trump jr. He wants to learn what he knew about ten to june 9th, trump tower meeting and when he became aware of it. Also whether President Trump was aware of outreach by members or former members of his campaign to russia offering potential assistance. Mueller specifically mentioned paul manafort. The white house that is often weighed in on aspects of the Mueller Investigation wanted no part of this disclosure. I refer you to the outside personal attorneys. Sources close to the investigation say that the questions were developed in early march and consultation between muellers office and the president s outside legal team. President trump railed against their disclosure tweeting it was disgraceful that the questions concerning their russian witch hunts were leaked to the media. No questions on collusion. The white house weighed in today on a charge from President Trumps former physician that in february of last year his office was raided by then director of Oval Office Operations and Trump Organization attorney. He says that they took all of President Trumps medical records thats how i feel, frightened. The incident happened two days after you told the New York Times that President Trump takes a drug for hair loss. The white house dismissed the raid. As a procedure of the white house medical unit took possession of the medical records. On iran, the white house was defending an importunate typo in a statement that declared that iran has a robust clandestine and Nuclear Weapons program. They meant to say had. The typo that you referenced was noted immediately corrected. The president says that he is close to an announcement on his planned summit with the north north korea leader kim jong un. Also the declaration that President Trump should be awarded the nobel peace prize. It will be announced location and date, but i thought that it was very generous of president moon. A development in the Michael Flynn case, the court requested a status report on his sentences, both of the council and the special counsel from muellers office reported that based on the status of the Mueller Investigation now is not the time to be talking about sentencing Michael Flynn. Bret. Bret john john roberts, thank you. He felt vindicated after israels Prime Ministers said that iran lied about its nuclear intentions. But today the agency did not back that up. And late this afternoon former secretary of state john kerry tweeted that every detail yahoo presented was why the world came together to negotiate the Nuclear Agreement. Adding blow up the deal, and you are back there tomorrow. Reporting tonight on the conflicting reports as the deadline looms for President Trump to decide whether to reup the nuclear deal. Israeli Prime Minister continued the nuclear deal, facing the rounds on cable news this morning telling fox friends trying to bamboozle the entire world by refusing to disclose its Previous Nuclear ambitions. When they did the nuclear deal with iran, it was promised on the fact that iran would come clean. And would admit as it had any Nuclear Weapons program. They did not come clean, they lied. However the claim that iran is in violation of the deal is being widely disputed. Denying the accusation saying that it is in full compliance. And only a month ago israels own military chief of staff generalizing coat said at this point we are not identifying any violations of the jcpoa. While Frances Foreign Ministry said that european leaders have known about the noncivilian Nuclear Activity since 2002. Which is consistent with the 2011 u. S. National intelligence estimate. Which laid out Irans Nuclear program from the early 2000s. Crucially the International Energy at the agency that is responsible for the inspection said that two there is no evidence that tehran is reconstituted its nuclear program. The Nuclear Agreement is based not on the assumption of good faith or trust, it is based on complete commitment, Verification Mechanism and a very strict monitoring of facts done by the i a, finding that iran has fully complied with its commitment. During the meeting around, netanyahu was asked about israels Nuclear Capability is period was asked if their disclosure is still important, y wont israel disclose its own p. Netanyahu refused to answer whether he had a Nuclear Weapon consisting that it is not about israel, but iran. Bret. Bret in the middle east newsroom, thank you. Rod rosenstein responds this afternoon to news of the House Freedom caucus draft resolution calling for his impeachment. They cannot even hold back on releasing their own draft. People have been making threats privately and publicly against me for quite some time. And i think that they should understand by now that the department of justice is not going to be extorted. We are going to do what is required by law. The member say that the document is a last resort over the man seeing the special counsel russian investigation. It was due to what to members believe is stalling by the justice on a production of documents for lawmakers looking into decisions made by the Justice Department in the past two years. But just this week the chairman of the house judiciary and Oversight Committee is announced that they have reached a deal with the Justice Department about producing those records. Other news on that front, the Oversight Committee chairs are also asking for more answers tonight on the special status given to the man who leaked prior fbi director James Comey James comeys memos on President Trump.

He recently served a year on a misdemeanor conviction tied to the explosion blames the convention on anticoal obama allies and says that it will soon be overturned. It will be overturned by the general, thats the reason that Mitch Mcconnell is very wrong. The super pac money is has flowed into the race. And in an attack on kevin jay keynes, campaigning to stop and impeachment. They are trying to take me out to take down President Trump.

Martha that is exactly why they are all trying to prove that they are closer to President Trump and joe manchin who has been moderate on a lot of issues. Can the president have agreed on a few things. Trying to carve out a space that is to the right of joe manchin and they believe that the electorate West Virginia once a Senate Republican to the senate, its going to be a bruiser, this has been a very intense campaigo far, especially between jenkins going to each other on the airway, it is going to be quite nice.
