National security adviser Michael Flynn. His words, according to director comey, i hope you can let this go. This was the day after comey himself had that flynn himself had resigned. Now, again, if true, this memo is a clear sign yet of president ial interference with the investigation into whether members of his Campaign Team colluded with russian officials. And the news comes a day after the revelation that the president revealed covert classified intelligence to russias ambassador and their foreign minister. We have a team of correspondents on this. Pamela brown, jake tapper, jim acosta at the white house, jim sciutto, Phil Mattingly on the hill. Pam brown has new reporting. She starts us off. What are you hearing, pamela . Well, andon, according to sources speaking to myself and my colleague jake tapper james comey the former fbi director wanted to document a specific conversation he had with the president in february where he alleged that the president asked him to end the probe i
Use and shared the same thing with our alis. One. Two, to equip the American People and our allies to understand that this is going on. Because a big part of what the russians did was pushing out false information, echoing it with these troll farms that they use. And i think one of the most important things we can do is tell the American Voter this is going on. You should be skeptical. You should ask questions and understand the nature of the news that youre getting. And weve delivered that same message to our european colleagues and an interesting thing is happening. The marketplace of ideas is responding to this. Because its not a role for government. People are out there using the power of social media to push back against this kind of thing in france, in the netherlands, in germany and i hope it will happen here in the United States. Where ordinary citizens will see this bogus stuff going on and push back. Have good troll earps pushing back the other way so the marketplace of infor
Going to stop. The latest being i think it was monday january 23. And so we were balancing that with the need of an Investigative Agency to be able to complete its investigation and not to have any kind of notification negatively impact that investigation. But when those final misrepresentations were made on the 23rd, the fbi then interviewed general flynn on the 24th. We got the readout of that on the 25th. Then i called first thing on the morning of the 26th to go over and make the notification. Don mcgahn is the white House Counsel. He is the man sally yates met with on the 26th of january to warn him about general flynn. Why wait until the 26th to take the information to the white house . Just like in any matter, we were trying to balance notification against an impact that it would have on an fbi investigation. You had to wait until flynn was interviewed by the fbi. We looked at that as well as the fact that it was the misrepresentations that didnt really start until mid january t
Questions but at least an opportunity to speak to him about this extraordinary turn of events on capitol hill. Perhaps what was most striking about the testimony of fired fbi director james comey is that he accused the president of the United States, plain and simple, of lying. Comey, even went as far as to suggest that he prepared memos about his conversation about the president because he anticipated the president lying about those interactions. List listen. Theres no doubt. Its a fair judgment, its my judgment that i was fired because of the russia investigation. I was fired to change, or the endeavor was to change the way the russia investigation was being conducted. Comey made it clear that he was making what might be described as one of the noisiest exits by a lawyer in the history of government law. He essentially took one of the key memos. Perhaps the key memo that he prepared and delivered it to a Law School Professor in hopes that that professor would, inturn, leak the memo t
