[cheering] jon: a major victory in the fight against isis. the group's founder and leader dead in a daring raid led by u.s. special ops forces in northwestern syria, ending a years-long hunt. good evening, i'm jon scott. this is "the fox report." ♪ jon: president trump announced the death of abu bakr al-baghdadi this morning from the white house. he said the isis leader detonated a suicide vest, killing himself and three of his children. the president watched the raid unfold live in the white house situation room and this morning described the final moments of that vicious and violent man. >> he died like a dog. he died like a coward. he was whimpering, screaming and

crying. and, frankly, i think it's something that should be brought out so that his followers and all of these young kids that want to leave various countries, including the united states, they should see how he died. he didn't die a hero, he died a coward. jon: fox news team coverage. kevin corke is standing by at the white house, but first, national security correspondent jen ebber if griffin live in our -- jennifer griffin live in our d.c. bureau. >> reporter: the u.s. military and cia had been watching this compound five miles from the turkish border for months. eight special operations helicopters flew over highly contested terrain. the president and his national security team watched the operation in realtime from the situation room. it began at 5 p.m. eastern. the president said the flight in and out of syria was the most dangerous part for the special operators. they flew low and fast for an hour and ten minutes and came under fire as they approached the target but not from the

russians who control that air space and were given advance warning about the operation through a deconfliction line. up to 70 u.s. special operations forces launched from their base erbil. the president described al-baghdadi's last moments. >> he reached the end of the tunnel as our dogs chased him down. he ignited his vest, killing himself expect three children. and the three the children. >> reporter: three of his own children whom he tried to use as human shields. the president says u.s. forces were on the ground in the compound for over two hours and collected, quote, highly sensitive information on future isis operations. a large number of isis fighters were killed, some captured alive. two of baghdadi's wives wore suicide vests but were killed before they could detonate. president trump said they made a positive id of baghdadi within

15 minutes. >> his body was mutilated by the blast. the tunneled had caved in on it in addition. but test results gave certain, immediate and totally positive identification. it was him. >> reporter: facial recognition was used. when they left syria, the operators brought back baghdadi's d, this a, more than they liked according to the president. no u.s. special operators were killed or seriously injured during the raid. however, a u.s. military dog was injured and might lose his right front leg after hunting baghdadi down that tunnel which proved to be a dead end. jon? jon: a remarkable operation. katherine -- i'm sorry, jennifer griffin, thank you. president trump's announcement offal a baghdadi's death caught washington by surprise, but some lawmakers more surprised than others. fox news has learned the white house did notify some

republicans on capitol hill but not, apparently, any democrats. chris: you're saying that none of the gang of eight, you're talking about the intel head and the ranking minority member in each party as well as the leaders in the house and senate, none of them were informed about this in. >> on the democratic side. and i was told that just before ai came on. chris: not chuck schumer? not nancy pelosi? not adam schiff? >> that's correct. jon: kevin corke is live at the white house with more on that. kevin? >> reporter: jon, to that in just a moment, but first, the president described him this way, we're talking about the terror leader, he died like a dog, talking about the way that al-baghdadi ultimately met his merrick at the end of a tunnel, a dead end tunnel, and the president, by the way, also thanked a number of regional partners. it required a great deal of coordination, as you know, so the president did say he was thankful that not only the russians, but the turks, the is

syrians, the kurds and even the iraqis all helping to make this happen. the death of a mass murderer, is what we're talking about. and by the way, jon with, despite being hailed as a major victory in the or what on terror -- in the war on terror, some have questioned why the white house neglected to inform some congressional democrats including house speaker nancy pelosi. >> we notified some, others are being notified now as i speak. we were going to notify them last night, but we decided not to do that because washington leaks like i've never seen before. there's nothing, there's no country in the world that leaks like we do. and washington is a leaking machine, and i told my people we will not notify them until the, our great people are out. not just in, but out. >> reporter: operational security, according to the president, the key there. now, for her part the house speaker from california issued a statement from the hill, and it reads thusly: americans salute

the heroism, dedication and skill of our military and our intelligence professionals and acknowledge the work of our partners in the region. we are relieved that no u.s. personnel died in this daring raid. the death offal baghdad city is significant, but the death does not mean the death of isis. scores of isis fighters remain under uncertain conditions in syrian prisons, and countless others in the region and around the world remain intent on spreading their influence and committing acts of terror, that from the house speaker. meanwhile, al-baghdadi's death is welcome news for the family of journalist james foley, the freelance war correspondent, you may recall, was beheaded by isis members back in 2014 nearly two years after he was kidnapped in syria. this from a family spokesperson: i am grateful to our president and troops, i hope this will hinder the resurgence of terrorist groups. i remain concerned about the

dozen americans held hostage in syria including austin tice, we've heard a lot about him, and i ask president trump to make them and all american hostages a priority. jon, i should wrap up by telling you this, during the president's remarks he said there are other top isis leaders that are in the sights of american operationers in the region -- operators in the region. he said they too will soon be brought to justice. jon? jon: kevin corke at the white house, thank you. let's bring in retired four-star general jack keane, fox news senior strategic analyst and chairman of the institute for the study of war. as a top military leader, general, you've seen your share of remarkable military operations. how does this one rate? >> well, it's right there at the top of the heap, truly a remarkable operation. many things we take for granted sometimes in terms of the outcome of these operations, but what goes into it is really

quite extraordinary. you're talking about long distances at night, likely having to refuel those helicopters mid-air refueling. if you've never seen one of those operations, that's dangerous in and of itself. flying pinpoint to a target, having to provide security and then the penetration force goes in. the skill of the pilots, the skill of the operators and, listen, the intelligence involved in this, like other operations, is really crucial. and that involves our central intelligence agency, to be sure, and others. it involves also, reportedly, iraqi detention centers where their interrogators picked up information on the location as well. and the syrian kurds had some idea based on their own intelligence. so you put all those pieces together, and we actually have an accurate location where baghdadi was located and a remarkable operation to go in and capture and kill him. i understand the mission was to capture if they could, and that

was not possible because of what he chose to do to himself. he died a coward's death, i agree with the president. of you know, jon, i think there's just a sense of justice here. this is an iconic, spiritual operational leader who conducted barberrism on a national -- barbarism on a national stage in terms of the scale of it, and truly he has been brought to justice. it doesn't compare to the pain that he's inflicted on thousands of yazidis, christians, jews, muslims in that part of the world and the 30-40 affiliates that are part of isis now who are creating the same kind of mayhem in their own countries. but this is a victory, it's a milestone. it's not the end of this organization, to be sure. jon: but it is whack-a-mole, general. i mean, when you kill one of these leaders, it seems like isis and groups like it have two or three ready to take their place. >> yeah, but it's not whack-a-mole, it's much more significant than that. i mean, this is a spiritual leader of an organization that

took the world stage and achieved prominence more than any other organization in its history. he grew from 600 fighters in iraq to close to 40,000, conducted an invasion of two prominent country. seized those lands in syria and iraq and declared it an islamic state and stood there boldly for almost five years defying anybody to come take it away from him. and we finally did. but in the meantime, he conducted or inspired attacks on nine nato countries multiple times, inspired attacks on the united states, to be sure, and as i said, grew a worldwide organization. what happened here, there'll be another leader. he won't be as notorious because he didn't form the organization. we're fighting an ideology, and as long as young people are attracted to that ideology, jon, that -- this fight is going to continue. and i think if we've learned anything, it's that we've got to have some presence in the countries from which this

ideology is coming from. so we have the intelligence from locals and we're able to go after them when the opportunities a arise. and this is a case in point. jon: it shows what you can do with a relatively small number of troops and good intelligence. diane foley, she said he hopes his death hinders the resurgence of isis. will it? >> it's a setback for the organization and particularly how he died, the the cowardly way he died certainly will be transmitted worldwide. they're recruiting -- their recruiting has gone down dramatically since the caliphate has been destroyed for obvious reasons. they're not able to get out on the internet in the same way as persistent as they had in the past. so it's a setback. but the ideology is alive. and i'm a little concerned about where he was found, because this is an inland province, and there's a huge amount of al-qaeda present there. i cannot imagine him being there

without the al-qaeda permitting that to happen and without baghdadi's -- with al-baghdadi's death, there may be a union of these two organizations, and that could pose a danger in and of itself. jon: our senior strategic analyst jack keane. general, thanks very much for your expertise. >> good talking to you, jon. jon: meanwhile, democrats escalate their impeachment inquiry as gop lawmakerrers push back on the secretive process. more witnesses have given closed door depositions, including in a rare saturday session. earlier last week congressional lawmakers heard from our ambassador to the ukraine, william taylor. republicans claim witness testimony is being selectively leaked out of context. garrett tenny has more from washington. >> reporter: the heads of the three house committees leading the impeachment effort are again slamming the white house for obstructing their investigation. former deputy national security adviser charles cupperman is scheduled to testify monday, but on friday asked a federal court if he should comply or follow

president trump's direction to assert immunity. in a letter due to his attorneys last night, the heads of the committees called it, quote, ab obvious and desperate tactic by the president to delay and obstruct the lawful, constitutional functions of congress and conceal evidence about his conduct from the impeachment inquiry and warned cupperman that he could be held in contempt if he doesn't appear. on fox news sunday, democratic congressman eric swalwell said any efforts to block testimony only help build their case against president trump. >> if he's going to obstruct our efforts, we're going to put that in the bucket of a consciousness of guilt. >> reporter: the president's allies continue to criticize efforts and to call for a more open process. >> 50 republicans have told the nancy pelosi house democrats that what you're doing to the president is unfair. impeachment has turned into a sham driven by sore losers.

this is a sore loser effort here more than it is anything else. they just don't like the fact that trump beat 'em. >> reporter: several more witnesses are expected to appear before the committees this next week including the principal deputy secretary for defense for international security affairs who reportedly told at least one other diplomat that ukraine would not receive military aid until it opened an investigation into the bidens. jon? jon: garrett tenney, thank you. former michigan congressman john conyers has died. fox news has confirmed the democratic lawmaker passed away in his sleep overnight. he was the longest serving african-american member of congress representing the detroit area for more than 50 years. back in 1969 he played a key role in founding the congressional black caucus but was forced to resign two years ago amid allegations of sexual harassment which he denied. john conyers was 90 years old. more on isis leader al-baghdadi's death coming up,

president trump announced the death of isis leader and founder iowa -- abu bakr al-baghdadi. i'm jon scott, and this is "the fox report." al-baghdadi killed himself curl -- during a u.s. raid, a major blow to the terrorist group. addressing the nation this morning, the president said al-baghdadi died like a, quote, coward, and that the world is now a much safer place. team coverage continues. trey yingst in our middle east bureau with the latest reaction from the international community, but first, jacqui heinrich with more on this incredible operation. >> reporter: the president called this a dangerous and daring operation two weeks in the making. eight military helicopters carrying special operations forces flew fast and low through a volatile region of northwest syria last night. soldiers breached the walls of the come bound where abu bakr

al-baghdadi was hiding and chased him into a dead end tunnel where he detonated a suicide vest. american forces spent about two hours combing through that compound, gaining sensitive information on future plans. no american soldiers were killed. the president watched it unfold from the situation room, and while most lawmakers widely praised the operation, some were incented president trump -- insented president trump didn't tell top leadership. nancy pelosi wrote: the house must be briefed on this raid which the rugs were -- which the russians were notified of in advance. senator lindsey graham did receive advance notice. >> this is a moment where president trump's worst critics should say, well done, mr. president. >> it's to the administration's advantage to be able to say we informed congress we were going in, they were aware of the risks. we at least gave them the chance to providefieldback. that wasn't -- feedback. that wasn't done here. >> reporter: president trump said he made his decision

al-baghdadi. he was the most wanted terrorist in the world. trey yingst picks up that part of the story from our jerusalem bureau. trey? >> reporter: jon, good evening. many leaders around the world were waiting for president trump to address the nation this morning from washington about the death of isis leader abu bakr al-baghdadi. we are getting reaction in israel, benjamin netanyahu congratulating president trump, calling this an incredible achievement for the president. also reaction from the french president, emmanuel macron, who said this was a major blow to daish, but he went on to say this is not the final step. also the iranians reacting, really downplaying the efforts of the americans. not unexpected, but they basically said you just killed your creature, referring to someone they believe was created by the united states. now, moving forward it's important to note this larger global perspective in the fight against isis. remember the u.s.-led coalition had more than ten countries operating in both iraq and syria

with airstrikes and ground operations to try to rid this area of the islamic state. and baghdadi was a symbol for isis. back in 2014 you might remember that infamous video in mosul, iraq, where baghdadi addressed a group of people at a mosque saying that isis planned to take over the world. they would start in iraq and syria and move toward the west. it's important to note that baghdadi did have a history as the previous leader of al-qaeda in iraq back in 2010. he was widely seen as a symbolic figure but not a figurehead in the sense that he often operated in the shadows and behind the scenes. we do know from reports indicating this eye us is still -- isis is still operating in a number of places around the world including egypt, algeria and afghanistan. the president often notes he believes the islamic state is 100% destroyed. this is not true, but we do know their leader is dead. jon? jon: for more on this and the potential diplomatic impact of

how baghdadi's confirmed death, trey yingst, thank you, we want to bring in michael wilner, white house correspondent for mcclatchy. it's another moment similar to, you know, the killing of osama bin laden, and the president made that dramatic announcement from the white house, michael. give us your perspective. >> well, indeed, he obviously made an announcement that was quite reminiscent of president obama's announcement of the killing of osama bin laden. and you've seen similar reactions and bipartisan praise for the operation and for the men and became who were part of the operation in the armed services. i think, though, that the way in which he made the announcement and, obviously, offered operational details shortly afterwards in a press availability was unusual. it caught some people off guard, and i think that's going to continue the story for some days

to come. jon: the president has, perhaps, no bigger political enemy than adam schiff, the head of the intelligence committee who's conducting those impeachment inquiries in secret, in the basement of the house building. we just heard adam schiff saying that he thinks the president should have noticed, notified congress in advance so that members of congress could kind of give a thumbs up or thumbs down. but they are not the commander in chief, he is. congressional members don't really play a role in decisions like this, do they? >> technically, you're absolutely right, and technically the president had no obligation to inform members of congress. it is tradition to do so for whatever that's worth, and obviously the president had lindsey grahamming at the white house -- graham at the white house before make the public announcement. so i think it's reflective of the time that we're in at the moment, of course. that the president wouldn't want

to, especially, brief adam schiff. but any democratic member of congress in the advance. i think, again, it's a further erosion of some of the norms that we've seen in place in prior instances. jon: perhaps not surprisingly the president is receiving strong praise from the republican side of the aisle. here's congressman mark green of tennessee. >> this is all just a part of an everyday work in this organization, in these organizations that come together to do these kinds of missions. this is what they do, and they're the best at it on the planet. in fact, no nation in history has ever been able to project power like this, and i just commend them. of course, i commend the president. we got one bad ass president to make this kind of decision. jon: to so, obviously, republicans pretty happy about what has transpired. also the fact that so many governments, you know, overseas

governments had to be notified in a very conflicted part of the world in order for this operation to go as smoothly as it did. >> certainly. and, obviously, the president offered his thanks for those governments for agreeing to deconflict and allow u.s. forces into air space controlled in this case by the turks and the russians. and he also, it should be noted, offered thanks to the syrian kurds who, obviously, the president has been in conflict with, if you will, over the past several weeks given his announcement earlier this month that he'd be pulling u.s. troops out of northern syria where, obviously, the turks would like to create a buffer zone where the syrian kurds currently reside. it would appear as if the syrian kurds were integral to this operation, offering intelligence on the ground based on where abu

bakr al-baghdadi had been and also the nature of this compound that had a all of these underground tunnels that the president went into detail on -- jon: we hope to, we hope to learn more in the days ahead. michael wilner from mcclatchy, thank you. another city day for the 2020 -- busy day for the 2020 democratic candidates with some key candidates branching out early. a live report from the campaign trail coming up next. ♪ ♪ ic playing ] [ tires screech ] mom, you've got to get yourself a new car. the car's fine.
