Trump and obama administrations appeared before separate congressional hearings answering tough, often partisan questions, about the russian influence into the election. The testimony comes on the heals of a Washington Post report confirmed by nbc news that president asked two of his top intel officials to push back publicly on the fbi probe. Basically sources say President Trump wanted them to tell the world that there was no there there. Both officials happen to be scheduled to testify today. The nsas Admiral Mike Rogers testifies in a few hours. Director of National Intelligence dan coats testified a short time ago. Asked about the story, coats would neither confirm nor deny the report. I have always believed that given the nature of my position and the information in which we share its not appropriate for me to comment publicly on any of that, so on this topic as well as other topics, i dont feel its appropriate to characterize discussions and conversations with the president.

Terrorist attack involving a car. So far, a single assailant, a knife and so far, including the assailant, four dead, three not including the assailant, 20 injured. We know from the government of france that some of them were high school students. At the same time, we are covering this story in this country heres devin nunes, chairman of the house Intelligence Committee. To keep you fully updated on whats happening with this investigation. Today i briefed the president on the concerns that i had about incidental collection and how it relates to president elect trump and his transition team. And the concerns that i have. As i said earlier, there will be more information, hopefully by friday. The nsa is cooperating very, very well. And lastly ill say that the reports that i was able to see did not have anything to do with russia or the Russian Investigation or any tie to the trump team. With that, ill take a couple questions if you have them. A quick question. Why is it appropriate for y
Sidewalk weaponizing that vehicle hitting pedestrians and the three attackers starting attacking people on foot in bars and nearby restaurants of the market. The Police Killed them within eight minutes from the start of this attack. No group has claimed responsibility so far. Both Prime Minister theresa may and london mayor sadiq khan spoke earlier today. We believe we are experiencing a new trend in the threat we face. As terrorism breeds terrorism and perpetrators are inspired to attack, not only on the basis of carefully constructed plots after years of planning and training, and not even as lone attackers radicalized online, but by copying one another and often using the crudest of means of attack. One of the things the terrorists want to do is disrupt our way of life and stop us from enjoying freedoms we have, mingling and mixing having a good time. They want to stop voting on thursday in the general elections and enjoy the democracy we have. We cant let them do that. Nor will we
Under fire for his tweets immediately after the lonz terror attack. In the uk they have identified the terrorists. We do believe we know who they are. Weve made a number of arrests. And some blockbuster testimony, james comey set to testify this week, as senators from both sides of the aisle game out their questions. Jim comey deserves to have his, in effect, day in court since the president has disparaged him so much. Nbc news exclusive, russian president Vladimir Putin on michael flynn, election meddling and whether hes got any dirt on President Trump. Translator well this is a load of nonsense. We begin with President Trump demanding that the courts approve his travel ban and not the one currently headed to the Supreme Court, but the first one, the one that was blocked all the way back in march and all of this is in the wake of the terrorist attack on London Bridge that left seven people dead over the weekend. Isis is now claiming official responsibility. And ive got a great team he
Terror attack on London Bridge. 7 people killed, 48 others wounded before three of the attackers were finally gun downed by police. That rampage included using a vehicle on the London Bridge followed by a stabbing spree in bars around the capital citys market. Witnesses describe the horror. They run up and they stabbed this girl i dont know how many times, 10 times, maybe 15 times. She was going help me, help and i could not do nothing. I saw people running reaming. When you see those kinds of things you see it on tv in front of the tv when actually you see people and you hear people screaming, its totally different thing. Its scary. Its the third deadly attack in england since march, and it has the city of london and the rest of the world on high alert today. Raids this morning leading to the rest of 12 suspects in the latest attack. Here was theresa may earlier today. While we have made significant progress in recent years, there is, to be frank, far too much tolerance of extremism i
