The 16yearold who had a coffee, and several other drinks with caffeine. The coroner who says it killed him. The new warning, how much caffeine is too much. Good evening. Its great to have you with us here on a tuesday night. We begin with that breaking headline as we come on the air. Tonight, our team now confirming a report late today in the the New York Times that fired fbi director james comey wrote a memo, documenting some of his interaction with President Trump and tonight this question, did the president ask james comey to, quote, let this go while talking about the investigation into this man, retired general Michael Flynn, and russia. Flynn resigned a few days into the administration. Cecilia vega leading us off. Tonight, another bombshell at the white house. Abc news confirms President Trump allegedly suggested former fbi director james comey shut down his investigation into former National Security adviser Michael Flynn. A source close to comey tells abc news, comey wrote a memo in february the day after flynn was fired. I hope you can let this go, the president allegedly told comey. According the the source, he is a good guy. I hope you can let this go. The the New York Times who first reported the memo said it was part of a paper trail that comey wanted to leave behind as to what he called improper influence into his investigation. The times didnt view a copy of that memo. But associates of comey read it to a reporter. Tonight the white house is disputing the story. Saying in statement the president has never asked mr. Comey or anyone else to end any investigation involving general flynn. This is not a truthful or accurate portrayal of the conversation between the president and mr. Comey. President trump said comey was fired because he was not competent. Calling he ima showboat. This galvanized many in the fbi. The acting director coming to comeys defense last week. Is it the accurate that rank and file no longer supported director comey. No sir, thats not accurate. Reporter but you cant stop the fbi from doing the right thing. Lets get to cecilia vegetable ga. The white house is denying this. The the New York Times report, partly today on two people who they say read the james comey memo. Part of a paper trail that comey documented as the times put it, improper efforts to influence the Ongoing Investigation into flynn and russia. Reporter they didnt see this memo themselves but they source these two people they say they read it. The action has been has pouring in. Theyre talking about the possibility, raising the possibility of obstruction of justice. Thats of course a federal crime. One senator said we may be talking about an impeachment process. This just came in, i dont think we could be stunned anymore given the past week. The same reaction at the white house tonight. Another long night ahead for you, cecilia. I want to bring if in pierre thomas, who covers the fbi. Pierre, you confirmed this evening that comey did write a memo to document his interaction with President Trump. The President Trump allegedly asked him to go easy on flynn. David, the source said hes seen the comey memo. President trump allegedly saying, i hope you can let this go. Hes a good guy. David, what youre seeing as a lot of people coming to the defense of comey who believes hes a man of integrity and honor, not perfect. As for the mood at the fbi theyre carrying on their work. A number of former fbi agents i talked with are extremely angry at how comey was has firing wa handled. Theyre hoping for a new director who doesnt have any partisan ship. David. Pierre thomas with us tonight, thank you. Of course, all of this comes as the white house refuses tonight whether the president gave classified information to the russians. That headline break last night as we came on. Our team could hear the yelling behind the walls. The president reportedly revealing classified information about an isis plot. Coming from an u. S. Ally who had not given permission to reveal it. Heres abcs chief White House Correspondent jonathan karl. Reporter as President Trump met with the president of turkey today, he was hounded with questions did you share classified intelligence information with the russians . Mr. President , did you share classified intelligence information with the russians . Thank you very much. Reporter but a little later, he touted his meeting with the russians as a success. We had a very, very successful meeting with the foreign minister of russia. Our fight is against isis. Reporter the story is about what the president said when he met with the Russian Foreign minister and ambassador in the Oval Office Last week. The Washington Post first reported that the president shared highly sensitive classified information about an isis plot to target civilian airplanes with laptop bombs secret information, abc news has learned, given to the United States by israeli intelligence. Less than two hours after the story broke, the National Security adviser emerged from the west wing to shoot it down. The story that came out tonight as reported is false. Reporter this morning, the president seemed to confirm he shared Sensitive Information with the russians, tweeting as president i wanted to share with russia, at an openly scheduled white house meeting, which i have the absolute right to do facts per training to terrorism and Airline Flight safety. Today mcmaster was back, confirming many of the details in the post story and not denying the information shared was classified. General, when you came out after the story broke, you said that the president did not disclose any sources or methods. He did not reveal anything about military operations. Why were you denying things that were not even reported . What the report said is that the president revealed classified information that had been shared by one of our allies in the middle east. So the question is simply yes or no question here. Did the president share classified information with the russians in that meeting . As i mentioned already, we dont say whats classified, whats not classified. What i will tell you again is that what the president shared was wholly appropriate. The story combined what was leaked with other information and then insinuated about sources and methods, so i wanted to make clear to everybody that the president in no way compromised any sources or methods in the course of this conversation. Reporter the story is political nightmare for the trump white house, especially because, as a candidate, donald trump made such an issue out of Hillary Clintons handling of classified information. We cant have someone in the oval office who doesnt understand the meaning of the word confidential or classified. Reporter president s have the authority to declassify anything, the question is, why he would share it with an adversary . The white house insists he was soliciting russian help in the fight against isis. The post story suggests trump was also trying to show off, quoting him telling the russians, i get great intel. I have people brief me on great intel every day. Mcmaster said the president could not have told the russians the source of the information because he didnt know the source. The president wasnt even aware where this information came from. He wasnt briefed on the source or method of the information either. Wasnt aware of where the information came from. John than karl live with us as well. You were in that briefing room. The white house didnt seem concerned about the potential of classified information given out. The bigger concern here in their opinion is who leaked what happened. Jon, the initial call the initial call of concern to the cia and the nsa you have reported had come from within the white house. Heres what we know, shortly after that meeting with the russians a top official on the National Security council here at the white house placed calls to the nsc and the cia to inform them about what the president had said, clearly there was enough concern here at the white house about what the president revealed that they felt they needed to tell the cia and the nsc. All right, jon, thanks to you on capitol hill, reaction pouring in on both fronts. The classified information allegedly given to the russians. Both democrats and republicans want the transcript now the notes from inside that oval office meeting. Abcs mary bruce on the hill tonight. Reporter tonight, republicans on capitol hill are alarmed frustrated. Every ally would be concerned. Reporter even the Senate Republican leader frustrated. I think it would be helpful to have less drama. Reporter but Still Standing by the president. Do you have any worry of the president s ability to properly handle classified info . No. Reporter still, one of the president s top allies said the white house needs to get its act together. Obviously, theyre in a downward spiral right now and theyve got to figure out a way to come to grips with all thats happening. Reporter whats your concern . A little bit more discipline. Reporter tonight, both sides of the aisle are pressing for more information about that meeting with the russians. If the president has nothing to hide, he should direct that the transcript of the meeting be made available. Reporter while other democrats are pointing out what the president once said about hillary clinton. How many people were out chanting lock her up and trump himself saying she was unfit to govern because of that . And here he is now releasing real secrets directly to the russians. And the irony of that is pretty astounding. So lets get to mary bruce with us as well from capitol hill. House Members Meeting tonight with the cia director hoping to get more on the news of james comey and this reported pressure that was placed on him to go easier on retired general Michael Flynn in. Reporter david the House Intelligence Committee just finished meeting with the cia director. They were hoping for answers but emerged from that meeting facing even more questions. Now about that comey memo, the top democrat on the committee reiterati reiterati reiterati reiterating wanting comey testifying. President trump believed in talking with the russians in oval office was talking about an isis plot, the biggest plot to take down a plane since 9 11. Tonight, by sharing that information, are live of sources at greater risk, and what about our relationship with the ally that gave the white house the information in the first place. Heres brian ross tonight. Reporter whats at risk tonight, according to current and former u. S. Officials, is the life of a spy inside isis, placed there by israel, providing Sensitive Information about terror plots against america on the condition the u. S. Keep the source secret. The real risk is not just this source, but future sources of information about plots against us. Reporter the current intelligence from inside isis involves an active plot to bring down a passenger jet en route to the u. S. , with a bomb hidden in a laptop that the u. S. Believes can get through airport screening machines undetected. The information is so reliable that the u. S. Is considering a ban on laptops on all flights from europe to the u. S. They want to have a large airplane blow up in flight. Reporter isis has already taken credit for blowing up a Russian Airliner two years ago, killing more than 200 people, claiming the bomb was hidden in a soft drink can. The white house National Security adviser says that justifies President Trumps disclosures to the russians. This was the context of the conversation in which it was wholly appropriate to share what the threat was as a basis for common action and coordination. Reporter but many in the Counterterrorism Community say what the president did was a mistake. Russia is not part of the isis coalition. They are not our partner. Reporter brian ross with us now. Reported there believed it was israel our ally that gave us that information. Lot of people are pointing to the fact if this classified information was give on the russians they could give it to players who are clear ly not friends with israel. Including iran, also a sworn enemy of israel. Brian, thank you. We have other news were following at this hour. A fiery crash on i95, several big riggs and several cars involve period.

Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Both made me turn around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made eliquis the right treatment for me. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. How do you become americas bestselling brand .
