welcome back. wikileaks is back, and they released a trove of documents purporting to reveal cia hacking secrets. if true, this could expose some of the u.s. intelligence community s closely guarded cyber weapons. this includes documents marked top secret and suggests the cia may be able to tune into any smartphone and smart tvs into listening devices. if you watched mr. robot, this is already in their hands. wikileaks says the cia tools allow the agency to bypass popular encryption enabled apps. nbc news has not verified the authenticity of these leaks, and the cia spokesman declined to comment saying we do not comment on the authenticity of content of purported intelligence documents. but general michael hayden told andrea mitchell, we need to carefully consider the motive
some conservative lawmakers and groups say the legislation, which includes tax credits to buy insurance doesn t go far enough. house republican speaker paul ryan, he is set to hold a news conference in the next few minutes. he will talk about the bill that his leadership is now presenting. that the white house is now pushing. we are all anxiously awaiting to the speaker. we will bring you live when it happens. and wikileaks today publishing what had it says are thousands of cia documents containing hacking secrets, including suggestions that the spy agency can turn smart tvs into listening devices and get past encrypted communication apps. nbc news has not verified the authenticity of the documents, the cia has declined comment. all 100 u.s. senators now coming together, calling on the federal government to help the jewish community centers across the nation enhance their security. the request coming as centers in four states reported phone or e-mail threats today.

could be spying on us. wikileaks released stunning documents detailing cia hacking secrets and why the spy agency can t seem to keep any secrets anymore. but we ll start with the linchpin to the entire republican agenda this term, health care. two committees today marking up the bill for a final vote by the house possibly as early as next week. the white house today promising this is their bill, just as much as it is house speaker paul ryan s, and that s important because speaker ryan will need their deal-maker-in chief to twist some arms because most conservative members of the house are not wrapping their arms around the health care bill. i have no doubt we ll pass this because we re going to keep our promises. i don t think it could pass today. i mean we had our meeting last night with the house freedom caucus and the opposition in there was strong. i ve been working on this for 20 years.
