Thank you. Ms. Divine. Thank you, mr. Maguire, for being here. We appreciate your life of Public Service. My question relates to prior to the transmission on august 26 from the ig to the dni, were there any conversations that you had with the ig prior to august 26 related to this matter . Congresswoman, theres been a lot thats happened in the last several weeks. As far as the timeline is concerned, i think that id like to get back to you and give you a full chronology if i may on the actual timeline of events. That would be very helpful to this committee in terms of, if there were any preliminary conversation, what was discussed and if there was any action taken as a result of those conversations. I want to turn to the complaint itself which is made public for the American Public to read. Let me preface this by saying i greatly appreciate your statement that you believe the whistleblower is operating in
good faith. I think thats very important for americans to hear. But on page one, an
[ crying ]. And facebook agrees to turn over ads linked to russia to the committees investigating russian interference in the 2016 president ial campaign. We will continue working with the government to understand the full extent of russian interference. We begin with the standoff between President Trump and kim jongun, military threats and hopes for diplomacy temporarily taking a back seat to a war of words. Two of the most unpredictable leaders on the planet trading insults like a pair of middle schoolers. I have some middle schoolers, they dont even talk like that. A great team to break it down, honestly one of my favorite squads with us, startings with Nbcs Kristen Welker live in somerset, new jersey, down the road from where the president is staying. This is the trump and kim jongun weve known for years. Thats right. What were seeing is tensions mount, steph. It comes after President Trump yesterday announced some of the toughest sanctions yet against north korea, effectively sayi
Speech that played like an extended airing of grievances. He mocked the media and the democratic party. Congresswoman Maxine Waters and senator john mccain and gorge h. W. Bush. The democratic senator and possible 2020 candidate, Elizabeth Warren and the me too movement. Say im debating poke hopt as. I promise you i will do this. You know the kits they sell on television for 2 . Learn your heritage. In the middle of the debate when she proclaims he is of Indian Heritage because her mother said she has high cleek bones. We will take that kit and we have to do it gently because we are in the me too generation. We have to be very gentle. We will gently take that kit and slowly toss it, hoping it doesnt hit her and injury her arm. We will say i will give you a Million Dollars to your Favorite Charity paid for by trump if you take the test and it shows you are an indian. Ahead of his trip to europe, trump took aim at American Allies vowing to demand more money from nato countries. I will se
What are you hearing . This development with the complaint coming out being declassified and reading it is different than what weve seen already. The transcript was yesterday of the phone call. The transcript as the white house describes it. This is the whistleblowers thoughts and who he talked to. Not specific names but the number of people. It goes into concerns about locking down all the records of that phone call. The process of where they believe that this was a coverup. And the challenge here as you read this is that, you know, you will be reading it as if its the bible, not knowing that what the motivations are and knowing the credibility of these people. And there is no pushback on the other side as far as questioning this anonymous person. Thats what this hearing today is really going to lead to and i think some of the questions will go down that road to the director of National Intelligence. Sandra dana, the questions could have been changing in the last few minutes as now th
