the interview with clinton back in july just three days before that fbi director james comey announced he was not recommending any charges against hillary clinton. president trump suggested this morning there s a double standard. hillary clinton lied many times to the fbi. nothing happened to her. flynn lied, and they destroyed his life. i think it s a shame. hillary clinton on the fourth of july weekend went to the fbi not under oath. it was the most incredible thing anyone s ever seen. if she lied many times. nothing happened to her. flynn lied, and it s like they ruin his life. very unfair. harris: the latest revelations raising questions for several lawmakers including republican congressman peter king of new york. this raises very real questions about the for the clinton investigation. but he who was so high up on it and that investigation who was involved in this final statement in making decisions, the fact that he was so anti-trump is
maria: i understand that. i get that but would you be willing to negotiate on some kind of a cap which allows some of your constituents to keep that deduction? would that make it is there anything other than the whole thing in there that would bring you to yes? just so you know, six of the house republicans from new york, we sent a letter to the house leadership saying that we could accept something which left in all of the state income tax for the next four years and then begin a certain phase down for those making over $400,000 and with property tax leave that in forever. leave it in income on state income tax if they want to make deduction after four years but give us at least four years to get moving and after four years have some sort of phase down but leave most of it in. and no response at all like talking to a blank wall. maria: no response wow congressman thanks for joining us. none. maria: thank you for laying it all out we appreciate it very much. congressman peter
didn t us iodize the rest of the country. maria: it is true the republicans have been the party of lowering taxes and here you do have increasing taxes for a portion of the people and the republicans have been the party of fiscal discipline and i don t see the fiscal discipline in this budget and in certainly in this plan in terms of getting your arms around the debt at some point so let me ask you this congressman, because you had a really tough year. the entire party. i mean you tried to get healthcare done. you came right up against the edge to get healthcare done and it blows up in the senate. you need a win legislatively on the board for the republicans. let s say you re the last vote that they need. you re still not going to vote yes for this bill? you just can t. congressman: if i m the last vote then they better restore the state and local tax deduction. otherwise they re not getting my vote. maria: at what if they do i can didn t go to congress to hurt my constituents
maria: you make a really good point because for you this is not just about a tax plan and having a legislative victory on the board for the republicans. this is about your seat. the democrats have already targeted your seat in the next election. your seat is on their list. they want new york your congressional seat to go democrat. peter: i felt this way before i was targeted i would feel this way no matter what. i ve said all along that we should not be having this tax plan but you re right and it s going to be other members of congress who may not have as much seniority may not have the same name or republicans living in suburban areas in new york, in new jersey, they re going to get hit with this and it could be a tsunami against them but again it s a politics. it s wrong. we should be the party who encourages hard working middle income people to work their way up make extra money so kids can go to school and again since we are subsidizing rest of the country just annoys the hell
