Law enforcement. Well wait for them to brief everyone. You mentioned poway. Were been talking about the targeting of places of worship. Do you know, can you say if these were houses of worship, these targets . Reporter those details we dont yet have. We hope to have it more from officials later on. Obviously one thing officials are always worried about in the wake of any incident or copy cat attacks. Its too soon to say what the characteristics of this attack are whether were talking the International Terrorism route, whether were talking domestic terrorism. But again, the fbi having their hands full in california in the span of a week with three incidents . One more for you, josh, and then ill let you go. For all the domestic or Even International terror attacks we cover, im always wondering how many are we unaware of because they were thwarted by Law Enforcement. Can you respond to that . Reporter absolutely. I can tell you i vetted always the concern is what you dont know. You have
Close to call. He has a pretty clear path thats center left. They are not friends. We can see which way the president jumped. Announcer this is new day with Alisyn Camerota and john berman. Good morning. Welcome to your new day. This morning we are preparing for the release of the grease prequel which we are told is imminent. Thats the headline. There is other news as well. William barr will be back on capitol hill after his first day of testimony there. There are several major questions unanswered and several questions that he notably raised with his nonanswers. Namely, what has he told the white house about the contents of the Mueller Report . Barr refused to answer whether the president and his lawyers may already know more than congress and the public about whats inside the report. Barr did tell lawmakers theyll have a redacted version of the report soon, within days. Democrats in Congress Want more. They are vowing to issue a subpoena for the full version. Meanwhile it appears the
Almost certainly appeal to the court of appeals which is the intermediate and perhaps even seek to take it to the supreme court. One thing that does hold your thoughts. This is the ranking republican on the committee, doug collins. Then we understand maybe its the democrats who have something to be worried about. Maybe they dont like what was in the Mueller Report and maybe they dont want to continue to ask questions about it. Ill take your questions. The white house has been fighting subpoenas, requests for information. Do you have any concern theyre eroding your colleagues ability to investigate . I dont think so. Theyre going to do what they need to do, as past administrations have done, including president obama and others. They fight subpoenas when they feel like they have made accommodations or not. One concern i have and the chairman was out here talking about going straight to contempt. Thats typically a twoweek process. You typically goent go straight to contempt. You work wit
Circumstances on very opposite sides. Lets discuss now with steve hall, retired cia chief of russia operations. I mean, im having trouble getting my head around this because the u. S. And russia are on opposite side of so many Key National Security issues. Issues russia shows no interest in changing, in relenting on. So where is the potential for Common Ground here . Well, its not just you, jim. I think everybody can agree, all analysts i have heard, saying look, the United States should engage with russia on areas where there are things that the United States has interests in. The question is, where do any of those interests over lap with russia . As you go down the list of things you just listed, its difficult for me to imagine really any of them. Let me tell you how i think the russians are seeing this. First, when you get pompeo or President Trump to russia, its a big win politically for russia. It shows theyre still at the big boy table. Theyre geopolitically strong and can insert
Because she has come before congress before. Reporter thats right. They have a few key moments they plan to ask her about, one of them about the leadp to the 2016 election, those hush money payments made to silence some of those involved in trumps alleged extra marital affairs. Thats going to be of course questioning this morning, but thats not it. They also want to know about some of those key moments from the mueller report. That of course could have a lot to do with the dispute unfolding behind closed doors today between the white house and democrats on the Judiciary Committee. The firing of james comey, they want to ask her about efforts to dismiss mueller, and allegations that trump tried to curtail muellers investigation. Now, yesterday the White House Council sent a letter to the White House Judiciary Committee arguing hope hicks was immune from answering any questions about her time in the white house. It said, quote, because of this constitutional immunity and in order to prot
