as fbi director at senate confirmation hearing. in fact i wondered today why the president had even bothered with this obviously clubby self-important justice department official. president trump nominated him on june 7th, and praised him as quote a man of impeccable credentials. wray did not turn the compliment in any fashion. serving as the unctuous civil servant poodle and seeking favor as he is. testifying before the senate judiciary committee, he refused to pledge loyalty to the president and he rejected the president trump assertion that the mueller special counsel investigation is witch-hunt. which means he is another problem in the capital with already with them. chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge with our report. reporter: fbi director nominee christopher wray told the senate judiciary committee there is no room for political interference. >> what is your view of the fbi generally but more importantly you as director head up that organization? >> i believe to my core that there is only one right way to do

melissa: so president president trump's choice for fbi director in the hot seat on capitol hill today. how both sides of the aisle are responding to his testimony. connell: meanwhile the chairman of the house freedom caucus says there could be a government shutdown this fall if there is not money included in the next spending bill to pay for the border wall. wee -- we'll ask him about that and much more. melissa: the white house wrapping up the press briefing a few minutes ago where you can bet there were mo are requests about the donald trump, jr.'s meeting with the a russian attorney. howard kurtz is next. >> think about for the moment, legitimacy of this entire process. instead what we've got donald trump, jr., comes forward releases all the email chains, the media in a frenzy because he released emails, unlike the opposition who did not. melissa: the president continues pushing the senate to get on the same page about health care. he spoke about it moments ago. let's take a listen. >> it has to get passed. they have to do it. they have to get together to get it done? >> what happe

>> well, i mean at an absolute minimum he violated the fbi's policy. you can't have a former fbi director releasing information that he intends to go to the media. now the 64,000-dollar question was, did he disclose confidential information to his source that then leaks it to "the new york times"? that remains to be seen but at minimum showed extraordinarily bad judgment. showed hillary clinton-like poor judgment and i think this issue might be at top of the list for mr. mueller when he is investigating. trish: except mr. mueller is comey's best friend. they're buddy. >> there are conflicts. trish: we can get into it in a second. i want to stay on this idea. andrew, i can tell you, i was flabbergasted by this, i don't care what side of the aisle you're on, whether you hate trump or love trump, the idea the guy running the fbi get as thought in his head in the middle of the night, you know what? i will call up my friend at columbia, and release the memos to him and so he can release them to the "new york times." that is messed up. if he is leaking like

only two fbi or law enforcement officials under oath. and so, lying so, why it began as a political sin, but not a crime. a corset makes it harder to believe other things that were said. we don't know what went on at that meeting. so far we have is the account of donald trump junior who was given different accounts. by the way, one of the subjects the sanctions was appropriate to discuss with a candidate in the campaign. ronald reagan made a deal with the iranians to keep hostages in prison. he would get credit instead of carter getting credit and use the author and we have to and because we disagree, the way it occurred, but that becomes criminal or tree stand. we have to not broaden anixter and law by focusing and targeting our enemies. what stalin and the head of the kgb said showed me the man under some democrat. we will come up with a crime no matter how stretch it is. we shouldn't be doing that. >> what if we now know the floor below where, you know, donald trump that may be donald trump did bump into this group. we don't know. wou

he effectively said donald trump junior should've gone to the fbi. do you think raceway will be able to separate himself on this rush of firestorm? >> i hope so. he shouldn't be confirmed. it is not a firestorm because there's actual fire. it's a firestorm because the democrats have nothing else. i mean, they can't say that jobs are going down the toilet because they are getting better. they can't see the stock market is collapsing because it's on fire. they can't say isis is getting stronger because it's actually on the run. this is all they can do, is to try and pretend somehow rush -- and i've heard commentators even our sister networks a russian novel that the election. there's no doubt. but what impacted they have on the election? did they attempt it? yes, i have no doubt about it. what i do want someone to tell me and tell the world exactly how the russian interference affects the outcome? did hillary does because of russians or because she was an absolutely lousy candidate with no message. liz: let's get back to tonight's theme, with the media

the pick for the new fbi director. he will be fiercely independent and would have no problem disciplining with the present. it is not a witch hunt. we have a stocks roaring higher after they gave a very competent view but it almost seemed like once again everything takes a back seat to this scandal and of course all that's going on at the white house with the fbi. we expect these to be at the top of the agenda the reporter questions here in a minute now. the deputy press secretary over here at the white house is expected to take to the podium for another off-camera briefing. you will remember it was just about the same yesterday when they deflected just about every single question as it related to donald trump junior. much has changed since then. in retrospect he may have handled it a little bit differently and then this morning present trump took to twitter to defend his son. my son did a good job leslie he was open, transparent and innocent. it is the greatest witchhunt and political history. however on capitol hill

one step closer to the new fbi director. the nominee is set to appear before the senate judiciary committee. christopher ray a can criminal defense lawyer. it is set to face tough questions on a host of issues. including how he plans to boost morale. tony schaefer. thank you so much for joining us. how do you see this confirmation process taking place. will it be an easy confirmation process? >> i don't think you could have nominated the pope and there pope and there would not be issues. there is no upside to anything going on right now in washington. and i've been here long time. i have seen a lot of that. it is as bad as it has ever been. i don't know what exactly the strategy is forgetting to the confirmation from everything i have read about it. the people i talk too. he has great record. i think any little thing they can find to pick him they are going to try to find and you can see people like tim kane are going to be up there stayed really nasty things about him. no matter how good he is. i hope people will remember.
