rhodes is the center of the iran deal and the benghazi terrorist attacks is the main driver of the leaks. there is no further comments from him tonight. writing on twitter earlier this week, he said, when campaign chairman and national security advisor both resigned over russia ties, there is more. paul manafort and flynn had nothing in common, except russia end of term. a government source confirmed that the fbi investigation does go beyond flynn. it also includes contacts between the trump campaign tweets and russian officials leading up to the election. we are told that the fbi does not see evidence that any laws were broken, martha. just be one that is one of the highlights. thank you very much. my next guest has big news can share to share concerning general michael flynn. utah congressman jason chaffetz. chairman of the house oversight committee. good to have you here this evening. a lot buzzing this evening about investigations. what can you tell us? what we are going to do
the flynn situation. it s not a crime for general flynn to talk with the russian ambassador about sanctions. it was inappropriate because we do have a one president at a time policy. it would violate that policy. so it s not covering up a crime, it is covering up an embarrassing political engagement. what s new and what disturbs me the most is accusations from a newspaper which could be flat wrong so i won t base my decisions on a newspaper report that there was collaboration between the trump campaign and russian intelligence officials. now, was this outside the norm? was this something damaging to the country? i don t know. but if there were contacts between russian officials and trump campaign operatives that was inappropriate, it would be time for the congress to form a joint select commission to get to the bottom of all things russia and trump. shannon: now, to the point
the receiving end and on the giving end. you didn t hear me talking about wikileaks because that was an unauthorized hack. i m old school. i don t think you ought to disclose things that are intended to be kept confidential or classified. shannon: catherine herridge is live in washington what s the latest on the f.b.i. s contact with general flynn in this process? thank you, shannon. good morning. fox news confirming the f.b.i. interviewed flynn days into his tenure as national security advisor of his conversations with the russian ambassador. it came after the january 23 white house denial that flynn had not discussed the sanctions. those white house statements conflicted with electronic intercepts that show flynn told the russian ambassador not to overreact to the sanctions and he said, quote, made no promise to the russians whatsoever of a change in policy. but the conflicts between what the white house said publicly and what the f.b.i. knew to be the case raised the stakes for
administration. false statements to the f.b.i. is a violation of the martha stewart statute. fox news is told there is no indication that flynn misled the f.b.i. in his interview, shannon. shannon: so does the f.b.i. investigation now go beyond flynn, catherine? what we ve learned so far from the government source the f.b.i. investigation did go beyond flynn and included contacts between the trump campaign team and russian officials. based on our reporting there is no substantive allegation that the conversations broke the law. the leadership of the senate intelligence committee, which has an ongoing investigation into the russian election interference said they re reviewing the leaks. we re concerned any time intelligence is publicly talked about. just the mere fact that we might hold intelligence about a certain thing, about a certain issue, leads individuals to look at where we might have gotten it from.
