partisan attacks like congressman schiff. harris: we may hear more of what you re talking about, letting the american public see more. you have a full report coming out, in house intelligence committee review, but there s been so much stuff that leaked out of that committee, particularly from potentially adam schiff s side of the political aisle, that the public is learning in a dirty way anyway. i want to get on to this with russia. you know, back in 2015, we knew that russia had conducted cyber attacks on the united states political institution. that we already knew. that we knew that they had gone in several places in europe, ambassador, the kremlin exploited free and independent media spaces, open democracies, to conduct active measures in europe. the obama era administration already knew this was going on. yeah. i think it s completely unacceptable for any foreign government to interfere in american elections. that s why we have prohibitions about campaign contributions.
classified information regarding a review that he is conducting. that s how it s supposed to work. again, i understand that when things are leaked out in the media, that somehow that is a standard that s acceptable, but when two people who are cleared to discuss classified information or three or however many discuss classified information, somehow that s wrong because it s not being leaked. he is conducting a review which we have supported on both sides of the chambers and i think they should do this. but i think to start to prejudge where this thing is going, we have been as supportive as you know, and i think that let s let that process bear itself out and see what happens. i will tell you that i ve seen reports in the media that the nsa has documents that they are supposedly trying to get to the house intelligence committee and that have been requested. we think that s a great thing. if that s in fact what s happening. but again, i think part of this all gets back to that there is
there s a slippery slope we re talking about here because if we start looking into certain things and the accusation the next day is going to be you looked into this. why did you ask this bern or not. a couple weeks ago when there were stories whether or not we called certain people and we did. we re damned if we do and damned if we don t on stuff. on the one hand, you certain answers and talk about us being involved. we asked for an investigation. at the same time, we ve tried to make sure that we allow that review to go on that both the house and the senate intelligence. so we can t cherry pick pre time you decide that a piece of information is relevant to what you want. i think we know that they are undertaking a review. hold on. the members of the very committee themselves say they don t know what is being discussed. how is the process going forward? how is that a workable process. what i m saying is the answer to that question, that s a question for chairman nunes. i don t h
april, i believe that people, how they conduct themselves internally is up to them. that s not for us to decide. the question that i still think is outstanding is that what has happened is a review was called for part of it was already on going from what i understand especially on the house side. the chairman has saw the information on individual who s believe that information to further the review. i m really not sure how it s anything other than what you re supposed to do. i think that is consistent what he has talked about. dave? reporter: two questions. you mentioned senator udall oppose ago the gorsuch nomination. he was here at that party last night. did the president try to work with the room with him and other dras about the nomination last night? i know he and the first lady and others spoke to a variety of senators. i wasn t keeping tabs on everybody that he spoke to. i do know he had an opportunity to speak to a lot of different senators. and he s talked to a lot on the
confirmed but by his colleagues in the house and the speaker. he is the chairman. he s going to conduct an investigation. it is up to the house of representatives and the speaker and the members of the house republican conference to determine. but there s nothing i see that is problematic in him conducting an investigation that we asked both the house and senate intelligence committee. reporter: what conversations with paul ryan to include demes and republicans are talking about what looks like impropriety in the intel chief s handling of this so far, particularly as there s not a hearing right now. well, i would take issue with i think you re right there may appear to be certain things. but i don t think there s any actual proof or sustaining allegation about anything that s done. again, i mentioned this yesterday. if you look at what chairman nunes has done, he has met with people who are clear to discuss classified information regarding a review that he is conducting.
