has had time to prepare himself to answer some of the questions. i will say, hallie, this is what we saw a get away day on capitol hill. i saw some of the republican members just walking off the floor from both heading out. not clear how many of them were planning to stay for today s interview. might not be as lengthy as some of the interview has gone. hope hicks was more than nine hours. mike, hope you brought some snacks in the basement of the capitol. thank you. we ll check back in later on. our nbc news political reporter. i want to bring in congressman tom reed. let me get your reaction to what we were hearing from adam schiff and mike memely. corey lewandowski walking in for his meeting with the intelligence house committee. do you believe the house is close to wrapping up the investigation? i believe it is going forward, and i would hope it gets done sooner rather than later. they re doing due diligence, in my opinion, and that s what the
the seychelles meeting. related to what we talked about at the top of the show, with the reporting that bob mueller is looking into the seychelles meeting. you see live pictures of corey lewandowski, former donald trump campaign manager, walking into his meeting with house intelligence committee officials, including adam schiff, who you just saw. mike, why are they bringing corey back? reporter: corey lewandowski was before the committee in january, a few hours testifying. it was a dead end interview. corey lewandowski kept saying in response to multiple questions from the committee that day that he was not prepared to answer their questions. this wasn t even executive privilege, that the president was reserving the right not to have him answer the questions. he said he wasn t prepared to answer these questions. even with the republicans on the committee, they insisted he return. he s here now. hopefully from their point of view in the last few weeks, he
they re the last on the hill. until this point, they have been. if you ask republicans who used to be on the committee, that s how it was until the last six months. it is another area of congress where it s been totally politicized and partisan. a lot of people feel, even republicans, like it is a shame. we see trump is expecting loyalty from everyone, i think including devin nunez. that is trickling down to his behavior and could influence it. it is partisan. the war of the memos is a perfect example of how crazy this has become. mike is joining us live from capitol hill. you watched the interview with adam schiff. you were there. can you walk through what your biggest take aways were from that as we expect to see, by the way, corey lewandowski entering any minute? reporter: that s right. corey lewandowski has just arrived. he arrived as we were there. hearing from adam schiff, the top democrat on the house intelligence committee, what schiff was doing, there is an interest in
pretty strained. now the president did try to get them righted again by appointing christopher wray and wray has been supportive of the attorney general who has been supportive of him. so we ll see how this goes. but it s just an i guess you can call it it s not the huge earthquake. it s an aftershock. mike, who is the intended target of this memo? i ve been talking to a number of members of the republican party in the house the past few days. i ve had them on the show and asked them about this memo. and i ve been told repeatedly this memo will show there needs to be a change in leadership at the very top. in the excerpt i just read a moment ago talking about who signed the fisa warrants, james comey is listed. james comey has already been fired. deputy director andrew mccabe is listed. he s already resigned, retired, or is about to retire. dag sally yates was fired.
changes at the justice department which he had complained was not sufficiently loyal to him. kristen welker, mike, pete williams, thank you. we appreciate your time. joining me now are ari melber and ned price, an msnbc national security annualist who has worked for the cia and as a spokesman for the national security council in the obama administration. and matt miller, an msnbc justice and security analyst who served as a justice department spokesman and retired fbi special agent bobby chacon. welcome. ari, let s start with you. this memo is dealing with a fisa warrant targeting carter page. remind us again, who is carter page? carter page is a foreign policy adviser who worked for the trump campaign. he s made many trips to russia and has links to russia. and he has figured into the mueller probe by all accounts as a periphery figure.
