FOXNEWSW The Kelly File September 8, 2016

Trump outlined his plan to go after isis, and to increase defense spending a day after revealing his own list of military backers. Chief Political Correspondent carl cameron begins our coverage in new york where trump is about to speak to a conservative group. Thank you very much. Reporter in pennsylvania where Hillary Clinton leads polls, donald trump argued only he will truly rebuild the u. S. Military. If she cant remember such crucial events, and information, honestly, shes totally unfit to be our commander in chief. Totally unfit. Reporter trump now pledges that in his first 30 days as president , hell have the military draw up a plan. He promised to rebuild the military by reversing spending cuts mandated by the last budget sequester. I will ask that savings be accomplished through common sense reforms that eliminate government waste and budget gimmicks. Reporter he questions clintons physical and mental capacity. Sometimes it seemed like there wasnt a country in the middle east that Hillary Clinton didnt want to invade, intervene in, or topple. Shes trigger happy, and very unstable. Reporter a day after trump unveiled endorsements from retired military brass, an analysis by the daily beast notes many were not involved in iraq nor afghanistan. And five flag officers were implicated in the militarys tailhook sex scandal in 1991. Trump promised to increase spending on the u. S. Missile Defense System and suggested he could improve relations with russia and vladamir putin who trump has praised. Russia has defied this administration at every single turn. Putin has no respect for president obama and has absolutely no respect for Hillary Clinton. Reporter trump told bill oreilly that his refusal to release his tax returns until after an irs audit is complete does have an exception. When is she going to release her emails . Let her release her emails and ill release my tax returns immediately. Reporter he continues escalating the charge that the Clinton Foundation scandals amount to criminal misconduct. Her conduct is disqualifying. This is like watergate but worse. Reporter but trump is under fire for having made an unlawful contribution to a group tied to attorney general general pam bondi. Trump spoke with her by phone before the donation and held a fundraiser after her office decided not to join the suit. And the Trump Campaign is about to end its socalled blacklist for Certain National media from its events. For months now, a number of organizations, including the Washington Post and politico, have been banned. That all ends tomorrow, they say, when their press credentials for trump event also be restored. Carl, thank you. Congressional republicans are pushing for new hearings about the clinton email scandal. Meanwhile, a major media outlet is pushing the clintonkaine ticket in defiance of tradition. Jennifer griffin is outside Clinton Campaign headquarters in brooklyn tonight. Reporter for the first time in more than 75 years, the Dallas Morning News is endorsing a democrat for president. Today, the texas newspaper endorsed Hillary Clinton, trumps values are hostile to conservatism. He plays on fear, exploiting base instincts of racism and misogyny to bring out the worst in all of us rather than best. The latest fox news poll shows 60 of those polled thinks donald trump is hiding something by not releasing his taxes. Among them, 36 of republicans and 61 of independents. He clearly has something to hide. He owes it to the American People to come clean and release those tax returns. Reporter the latest National Polls show the race tightening. A new Georgia Washington University poll shows clinton up by two points, within the margin of error. Perhaps most surprising is a new poll from arizona showing clinton up by nearly two points in the reliably republican state, with a whopping 22 of the state still undecided. More evidence that unresolved questions surrounding clintons handling of her emails continue to hurt her in terms of public trust. The House Oversight committee today sent a letter to plat river network, which oversaw clintons private server, asking for any and all records about the employee who deleted clintons email archive after there was a preservation of records order by congress. Congressman Jason Chaffetz says its far from over. We have monday where were going to drag up the odni, were going to bring up the representative from the department of justice. There will be a series of hearings. Reporter when asked about the Clinton Foundation, Hillary Clintons running mate tim kaine didnt seem to know that it was still accepting foreign donations. The foundation is taking one step forward right now by saying theres no corporations, no foreign connected countries, not taking them right now. Reporter a kaine aide said he misspoke. Separately today, a state Department Lawyer told a federal judge of the 30 benghazi emails that the fbi recovered from clintons email server, only one was new. That one was from a u. S. Ambassador praising clinton after her benghazi testimony. Judicial watch says it wants all of the emails released. Bret . Jennifer griffin in brooklyn tonight, thank you. Last night on fox news, Julian Assange threatened to release more Clinton Emails next week, claiming they will be very damaging. He further challenged clintons claim she didnt recognize that a handful of emails had classified markings. Hillary clinton says that she cant remember what a c in a bracket stands for. Everyone in positions of government and wikileaks knows it stands for classified confidential. It was, we have already released thousands of cables by Hillary Clinton, here she is. Clinton, see thats her signature. Clinton, the c in bracket right there. I couldnt see it, but maybe you could. Catherine herridge is here tonight with new information about those emails. Good evening. Reporter one of our contacts has reviewed the three emails that had classified markings and they told us one of the emails has multiple classified marketings, the c for confidential, the lowest level of classification, and then every other paragraph is parked with sbu, which means sensitive but unclassified. You never see these codes in the context of anything but classified. She said thousand thought it was an alphabetical listing. Were learning more about march 15. Reporter this month is really the pivotal month when you look at the allegations of obstruction of justice. On march 2, 2015, the New York Times was first to report that clinton was using this personal account for government business. Then within that first week, there was a preservation order, and also a subpoena from congress. By the 9th of march, plit River Networks that was managing the server was notified they had to preserve the records. By the 25th of that month, there was a Conference Call with clintons lawyers and shortly after that, the records were deleted by plat River Networks using that bleach bit technology. So what you can see here, at least is lining up with the timeline to suggest that there was a deliberate deletion of records when there was an order to preserve. So thats what theyre going after, the timeline. We heard late today reports that the fbi director james comey sent out a memo internally to defend his decision not to prosecute. Cnn was first to obtain this memo. Weve read it, and whats really key here is the fbi director is defending his decision not to recommend criminal charges in the clinton probe. He said it was really not a cliffhanger at all to these agents. The second is that hes defending the release of the fbi file on a friday before the holiday weekend. You and i know thats the preferred slot for bad news. He said it was just ready at that point. I think the big takeaway here is there is internal dissent within the fbi about comeys fegs and hes trying to quell that. As we reported, one of the shoes that may still drop in the president ial campaign is another batch of leaked emails regarding Hillary Clinton from wikileaks. We have news and perspective tonight about Julian Assange, wikileaks founder. We might put out some teasers as early as the next week or the week after. Reporter for the Clinton Campaign, that ominous threat from Julian Assange to release more of her communications carries serious weight. It was wikileaks that embarrassed clinton and the party. The leak led to the resignation of chairman Debbie Wasserman schultz during convention week. Assange suggested the new release will shine a light on clinton that the press refuses to. The american liberal press is falling over themselves to defend Hillary Clinton, are wrestling a demon that is going to put nooses around everyones neck when he wins the election. Reporter what he may produce is anyones guess. Wikileaks philosophy of radical transparency its so hard to justify, even if you think some of the material theyre putting up is to the Public Benefit to have discussed. Theres lots of stuff with little Public Benefit. Reporter critics suggest his threatened release may be part personal vendetta. While clinton was secretary of state, the Obama Administration launched a criminal investigation of wikileaks. It remains active but on hold. An ambassador in london where he received asylum six years ago. The United States is continuing to pressure countries to extradite assange. So this is one of the reasons he fears returning to sweden to deal with the criminal cases there. Reporter prosecutors hoped to interview assange today at the embassy. But officials balked, leaving formal rape charges against him in doubt. We will not be able to formally indict mr. Assange if we cant interview him. Reporter late today, the Clinton Campaign responded to assanges threat, accusing Donald Trumps associate roger stone of colluding. The office of Personnel Management ignored basic required security controls and failed to recognize the abilities of the enemy. The opm says it does not agree with much of this report. Senior pentagon Officials Say a russian jet buzzed a u. S. Navy spy plane today over the black sea. The official tells fox the su27 russian plane came within ten feet of the american plane, almost colliding. Russias Defense Ministry says the u. S. Plane was flying with its transponder off. U. S. Officials said its not required for military aircraft to have the transponder turned on. This adds to other recent buzzings of u. S. Aircraft and ships by the russians. We now know that the almost 2 billion payment to iran earlier this year by the Obama Administration was in cash. Well, we do not know is why it took so long for the president s people to say so. Tonight from the state department, james rosen has an update to a story he first brought you last month. Reporter we have nothing to be ashamed about. Mark toner acknowledged that the u. S. Used three separate Cash Payments to settle a dispute with iran worth 1. 7 billion. For weeks, the Obama Administration would only confirm that the initial payment of 400 million had been made in cash and was timed deliberately to help complete a deal for the release of american hostages. An arrangement many deem ransom. While claiming the administration has been forthright, toner acknowledged having released key details only in a piecemeal manner. If we operate out of caution, its for a good reason. Reporter it was from a treasury account that the disbursements were withdrawn. The funds website shows 13 withdrawals on january 19, adding up to the 1. 3 billion in interest. But it shows a 14th withdrawal for 10. 4 million. It brought the u. S. Well over the announced 1. 7 billion settlement figure. So what is this other 10. 4 million . Ill have to look into that as well, james. Reporter nor could state say whether the payments met legal requirements. Judgment Fund Payments are to be made by electronic funds transfer. Fiscal service will issue an electronthe payees commitment. In a waiver in accordance to the requirement for payment by eft is appropriate, Fiscal Service will issue a payment by check. Were any such waivers sought in this case . I dont have the answer. I would assume so. Reporter the chairman accused the administration of circumventing the law. I think this is really one of the biggest scandals, to launder money to iran to exchange for hostages. Which funds the qods forces in iraq which have killed hundreds of americans around the world. Reporter bret . James rosen, live at the state department. Thank you. Reports tonight of another chlorine gas attack against civilians in syria. It occurs as the u. S. And russia continue to talk about ways to end the civil war there. Connor powell is on that story from our middle east newsroom. [ gunfire ] reporter the intense fighting in syrias Northern City of aleppo showing no signs of letting up. Backed by russia and iran, proassad forces continue to consolidate control of neighborhoods previously held by rebel troops. As the syrian army advances, opposition groups say government planes dropped barrels of chlorine on civilians. More than 80 people with breathing problems were treated in underground hospitals. The use of chlorine is not uncommon in syria, with both sides accusing the other of using the chemical weapon thats banned under international law. While chlorine kills few, the fumes spread panic and instill fear among helpless civilians. In london, opposition leaders today again called for assad to step down. Translator it is not possible to accept bashar assad, not for six months, a day or even one minute. Reporter however, in recent months, the Obama Administration has given mixed signals whether it might be willing to accept russias demand that assad remains in power. The white house believes ending the Syrian Civil War is crucial to eliminating the chaos that allows isis to exist. Even as the u. S. And russia inch closer to crafting a temporary ceasefire agreement in a joint strategy in syria. Today, defense secretary ash carter clammed russia. Russia with the support of the assad regime, has made the situation more dangerous, more viole violent. Reporter despite carters strong words, it was announced that secretary of state john kerry will meet with russias foreign minister later this week. Like it or not, peace in syria increasingly runs through moscow. Bret . Connor, thank you. Up next, why one lawmaker showed up on the house floor today with 100 mosquitos. Kfyr in north dakota with an arrest warrant issue. The two painted graffiti on Construction Equipment as part of a pipeline protest, all caught on camera. Fox 5 in atlanta with the crash of the small airport leaving three people dead. The accident happened between a pair of single engine planes. It happened this morning at the west georgia regional airport. Officials say the planes were attempting to land. This is a live look at San Francisco from fox 2, our affiliate out there. The big story there tonight, one of them, Apple Unveils its new iphone, which does not have a headphone jack. The iphone 7 will rely on wireless bluetooth. Cost, just under 650. Thats tonights live look outside the beltway. Well be right comfort food. Youve had a good long run. But your time is over. Its time for something new. Something simple. Grown right here in california with absolutely no antibiotics ever. Food were comfortable eating. Making. Serving. This is the new comfort food. And it starts with foster farms simply raised chicken. California grown with no antibiotics ever. Lets get comfortable with our food again. The u. S. Senate has once again tried and failed to pass a bill funding the fight against the zika virus. If you hear this story some places, you would think that only republicans are to blame, but that is not true. And as usual, republicans and democrats are pointing fingers at each other. Correspondent rich edson is on capitol hill to tell us just how intense this debate is becoming. Reporter mosquitos, on the house floor. This is the fear of floridians, right here. It is not good enough to work on a compromise for months and months with no solution. The time for politics of zika is over. Reporter pushing the boundaries of acceptable congressional props, Florida Republican david jolly presented to his colleagues about 100 mosquitos from his home state capable of carrying the skoozik virus. Congress has returned to capitol hill, still divided over how to counter the zika virus. People have asked us, why dont you show the pictures . Its just too horrible. We could never subject families who are affected by having the world see the suffering that they are going through. Reporter last night Nancy Pelosis colleagues blocked the republican effort. Republicans paired their zika legislation with the annual spending bill for military c
