There may be more tapes to come, we are told. President trumps reaction on twitter to the drama was more blunt today. We have fox team coverage. Catherine herridge with details on agent strzoks termination. We begin with kevin corke at the white house with the controversies running the release of these recordings by omarosa. Good evening, kevin. Omarosa was a controversial figure during her time at the white house. She was known to be mercurial and her temperament and could be quite confrontational with her staff. Still, she enjoyed the full support of the president even after she left the white house. That is of course until now. Every day the army is fighting for us, and now we are fighting for you. 100 . In many ways, it was a familiar scene. President trump on the road surrounded by u. S. Service personnel, this time speaking to the armys tenth Mountain Division in new york. While he basked in that patriotic environs, in washington, his administration was awash in controversy. Yes it issue with the truth and sometimes he battles with reality. Donald trump is a con. He is truly a racist. He doesnt nod or control himself. He has no impulse control. He doesnt have the tactic for the presidency. Its really sad to watch and become unhinged. A barrage of searing critiques from former white house aide omarosa and of the release of her tellall book unhinged. A launch augmented by the release of secret recording she made of conversations between her and the president and her and chief of staff john kelly.

You can go on without any type of difficulty in the future relative to your reputation.

I saw on the news youre thinking about leaving . General kelly came to me and said you guys wanted me to leav leave. No. Nobody even told me about it. The recordings drew a sharp reaction from the president on twitter where he his former aide as wacky, a lowlife, vicious but not smart, suggesting people in the white house hated her. This is someone who is disgruntled, so selfserving, someone with zero credibility. Still its a sudden reversal for a woman who months ago felt so deeply connected to the president that she unsuccessfully tried to have her Wedding Party photos taken at the white house. A headline grabbing choice that pales in comparison to the choice of her given the lack of her security clearance r conversation with general kelly, as far as the firing and recording in the situation room, its highly unlikely if violated any specific law. Still the white house is said to be investigating the matter. Bret kevin corke on the north lawn rethink you. The president also pleading today but another firing, one he believed was long overdue. The attorney for peter strzok says the fbi fired the special agent friday over antitrump texts he sent to his former lover, also at the fbi, during the 2016 campaign. This is the prosecution rests in the trial of trumps former campaign chairman. Chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge has the report from alexandria, virginia. There is simply no evidence of bias in my professional actions. Fbi agent peter strzok who was kicked off special counsel Robert Muellers russia probe for antitrump texts, was officially fired by the fbi friday afternoon. Along with his former colleague and lover, fbi lawyer lisa page, the two exchanged thousands of texts with a criticized candidate trump and his supporters. In a lengthy statement, strzoks lawyers said the fbi Deputy Director overruled the bureaus review. This decision should be deeply troubling to all americans. A lengthy investigation multiple rounds of congressional testimony failed to produce a shred of evidence that special agent strauchs personal views affected his work. Strzok testified under oath last month. Not once in my 26 years of defending the nation did my personal opinions impact any official action i took. This is true for the clinton email investigation and for every other investigation ive worked on. Its not who i am, and its not something i would ever do. Strzoks attorney single out fbi director christopher wray, alleging strzoks termination was a departure from typical bureau practice. Contradicts director reis testimony to congress and his insurances. He laid out his approach recently. Im not going to make decisions based on yelling and screaming. Im going to make decisions based on process. It the president emphasized that strzok was the decisionmaker in the russia and clinton email investigations. Just fired agent strzok, formerly of the fbi, was in charge of the crooked Hillary Clinton sham investigation. It was a total fraud on the American Public and should be properly redone though the attorney general recused himself from the russia probe, a senior House Republican told fox he can still take action. Name an individual, perhaps the u. S. Attorney or even a retired u. S. Attorney to investigate this agency, to have full access, tab subpoena authority and to get to the bottom and the top of this misconduct. The fbi declined to comment today on strzoks termination which is standard because the bureau doesnt publicly discuss personnel matters. Bret you are at the federal courthouse in alexandria where the Paul Manafort trial is taking place. Some movement today. Thats right.
