Leaving the white house for an opioid summit in atlanta today President Trump said democrats can forget the idea of hearing testimony from former white House Counsel don mcgahn. President trump were fighting all the subpoenas. These arent impartial people. The democrats are trying to win 2020. The chairman of the White House Judiciary Committee says the white house has no grouds to refuse the subpoena. He wants to talk to mcgahn about what the white house already allowed in the Public Domain saying the moment for the white house to assert privilege to prevent this testimony from being heard is long since past. President trump argues apart from himself Robert Mueller was allowed to speak with anyone in the administration he wanted to. The democrats only want to relitigate tin vest gaition through a partisan lens. President trump the subpoena is ridiculous. I have been the most transparent president and administration in the history of our country by far. This has been litigated for the last two years almost since i got into office. The democratic chair of the House Intelligence Committee scoffed at the idea of transparency. Adam schiff tweeting today trump said he is the most transparent president in the history of our nation. If he means opposing every request for documents and testimony by congress and obstructing muellers investigation, then i dont think that word means what he thinks it means. The latest shot fired in the subpoena wars, a letter from the d. O. J. To Elijah Cummings former him justice wouldnt comply with a subpoena john gore to appear before the House Oversight committee. Cummings fired back this is a massive unprecedented and growing pattern of obstruction. Cummings wanted to talk to gore about the proposed 2020 census question about citizenship.

Insisting that democrats just want to play politics. President trump we could solve the entire problem i say 45 minutes, it could go a lot quicker than that. Lets bring it down to 15 minutes. If the democrats would agree to do certain basic common sense things. We just heard today from Hillary Clinton on the issue of impeachment in an oped just published in the Washington Post she repeated what we had on special report last night cautioning democrats not to rush down the road to impeachment but in doing so, she evoked a specter of watergate saying then, as now, there was an investigation that found evidence of corruption and a coverup. It was complimented by a Senate Select committee and back then senior white house officials were compelled to testify before congress. Bret. Bret john roberts live on the north lawn. Now to the purpose of the president s trip to atlanta. He says nothing will stop him from fixing americas opioid epidemic. Tonight correspondent jonathon serry looks at the crisis and whats being done about it. President trump we will work, we will pray, and we will fight for the day when every family across our land can live in a drugfree america. Addressing a drug abuse summit in atlanta the president and first lady pledged theron going support combating americas Opioid Crisis and shared the stage with some who know its effects all too well. Bret every overdose is someones child. Dont judge, educate. They describe a perfect storm in which doctors were slow to understand the Addictive Properties of the pain meds and foreign criminal organizations were quick to meet the demand. This is what the americans want. They want opioids and why were seeing the use seizures weve been seeing in fentanyl. In 2017 the u. S. Saw more than 70,000 fatal drug overdoses. I really think it would be dead honestly. I mean, i would have overdosed a long time ago. Emily ward who got hooked on opioids in college turned to a Womens Recovery Center for help. That urge to use is overwhelming people dont know how to stop. The nation must treat addiction but also crack down on the smriers. The Trans National cartels pushing this stuff need to go under the Law Enforcement umbrella. The people suffering with addiction need to be treated with the disease for the disease that they have. For patients who havent started opiates physical therapy, over the counter medications and other alternatives are safer and more effective in treating chronic pain says tom freeden. Other than acute pain syndromes very few situations where patients should be started on opiates. Because multiple factors created the crisis, multiple solution rest needed to end it.

The longawaited formal announcement that former Vice President joe biden is running for the top job again is expected tomorrow. Tonight correspondent peter doocy looks at bidens long journey to get to his third president ial bid and what challenges he is faintion. Facing. Joe biden earned high marks from his old boss. Bret the best Vice President america has ever had. They hung out. Do you like these or these better . Theyre the same. Working out. Lets move. And eating out. Im paying for joe. Dont take his money. Now the 76yearold is left out because obama isnt endorsing him. Foxs mike he manual says he doesnt plan to endorse early in the process if at all in the primaries preferring to let candidates make their cases directly to voters. Barack obama, Michelle Obama are the hottest tickets in american politics in the democratic side and independents as well. As you know in 2018 they played a very, very Important Role in helping to expand the electorate. Biden has overcome greater hurdles in his public life. Two brain aneurysm, the loss of his wife and daughter and loss of his son to cancer and two unsuccessful president ial campaigns. The world is ready. America is ready and im ready. Despite having 12 years to draft a followup to the video bidens team is strug, inc. With a script. A launch video crafted by a new Media Consultant wasnt favorably received by other advisors and the former Vice President s long time aide devised an alternative video. That report calculates that biden needs to raise 100,000 every day until christmas just to have as much money as Bernie Sanders has right now. The entire rollout has been somewhere between a cockpit Warning Siren and a hurricane siren. Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong. Biden doesnt have obamas endorsement but he has the next best thing and something nobody else running has, eight years worth of tape with the popular ex president. We wait to see how many frames of the video retain subtle reminders that he was half of hope and change. Bret stocks were off. The dow fell 59. The s p 500 dropped 6 and the nasdaq gave back 19.

The kremlin will advance the progress made by the u. S. On denuclearization. U. S. Envoy to north korea was in korea last week. There is no need for mediator between north korea and the u. S. But it is a catalyst. Russia and the former soviet union has been an ally of north korea. Others say putin could work against longtime rival the u. S. After the failed hanoi summit with President Trump kim jongun might want to cover his bases. I think this is another example that trying to show the americans i can talk to other people. I have other options. Both north korea and russia would like to boost trade but u. N. And u. S. Sanctions hem in pyongyang. It will be mostly talk tomorrow. A foreign trip by kim that wont involve the man in charge of nuclear talks. He is out following the hanoi summit debacle. The u. S.

Government system to protect private businesses from cyberattacks is apparently being defeated from within. A new report says errors such as misspelling have ham strung the f. B. I. s guardian program. We have the specifics tonight. The Inspector General investigated the f. B. I. s program that notifies and engages with victims of siesh attacks, the 54 page audit found the program was operating with live data and the bureau could not be sure all victims were reached. The f. B. I. s database for cyber intrusions was incomplete and unreliable. Half of the victims we interviewed complained that they received notification of an intrusion from the f. B. I. Too late or without enough detail to allow them to mitigate the threat to their systems. Inspector general Michael Horowitz preparing a separate report on alleged surveillance abuse by the f. B. I. And Justice Department during the 2016 Campaign Said the f. B. I. Cyber programs shortcomings have a Ripple Effect on businesses, organizations and individuals who are unaware they were victimized and may not take steps to limit or mitigate the damage done by the intrusion and strengthen their cyber defenses. The report made a dozen recommendations to the bureau including taking steps to minimize human error in the database. Insure victim notifications are effectively tracked and improve coordination with homeland security. In a letter to horowitz the chief of f. B. I. Internal investigations said we agree it is important to strengthen procedures for setting victim notification leads and indexing victims. We also concur with your 12 recommendations for the f. B. I. Report said the f. B. I. Plans to replace the Cyber Guardian Program Later this year with a new system that is currently under development, bret. Bret thank you. Up next well tell you who is feeling left behind by u. S. Peace talks with the taliban. First here is some of our fox affiliates around the country. Fox 2 in san francisco, the f. B. I.

Bret measles cases in the u. S. So far this year are at their highest level in 25 years. New York City Health officials report 61 new cases since late last week. That pushes this years nationwide tally to past 667 cases reported for all of the year. That would make 2019 the worst year for measles since 1994. Many experts attribute the measles resurgence to misinformation turning parents against vaccines. Overseas now officials in eastern afghanistan report heavy fighting between taliban insurgents and isis terrorists. This comes as the u. S. Continues its peace talks with the taliban. Those negotiations are leaving some afghan whose have helped the u. S. Feeling very vulnerable. National security correspondent Jennifer Griffin explains from the pentagon. When President Trump presented former army immediateic ronald sure with the medal of honor he also honored the afghan translators who helped save american lives. President trump two wonderful afghan translators. 19,000 afghan combat interpreters remain in limbo. Bashir translated for seven years and now in hiding. A fox news steam spoke to him in kabul last week. Do you have faith the americans will keep their promise and give you the visa . I do not. He asked that we disguise his voice because the taliban are looking for him and his family. Do you feel betrayed . Yes. You put your life at risk and when you give a negative response then it is kind of a threat. Even a general has had trouble securing a visa for the Afghan Partner that received a death sentence from the taliban high court. He said i hope the state department will expedite approval of the special immigrant visas so the fate of our afghan translator allies is not decided by the taliban but rather by the appropriate authorities in our immigration services. There is an implicit moral obligation to those who again share risk. Lawmakers who served in afghanistan and iraq are trying to help. Its not only the right thing to do. These people have stood and fought with us and died with us. As the u. S. Begins another round of peace talks with the taliban this week, the issue becomes even more pressing as the afghans who helped u. S. Forces on the battlefield for nearly 18 years worry theyll be left behind. Bret. Bret Jennifer Griffin at the pentagon.
