officials. other russians known to intelligence. why is this not a typical back and forth? it s not typical. they are unusual because of decade old restrictions on such contacts. the request from the white house would at least appear to violate the procedures that limit the communications with the fbi on pending investigations. the white house officials say that the white house reached out to the fbi because mccabe initiated the conversation. either way the white house asking the fbi to refute the stories runs contrary to the memos issued in 2007 and 2009 that are meant to limit direct communications on pending investigations between the white house and the fbi. all right. thank you both. i appreciate that to jim and evan. i want to bring in the other big story. joining me now is justice
andrew mccabe and reince priebus on the sidelines of the separate white house meeting on the day the stories were published. the white house official says mccabe said reince priebus said the story was joioverstated abo the white house knows. mccabe did not discuss the aspects of the case and we don t know what he told priebus. a white house official says priebus did reach out to mccabe and james comey asking for the fbi to talk to reporters on background to dispute the stories. the fooibi refused to comment o the story. the kpun indicaticommunication e house and fbi request would appear to violate procedures that limit the communications with the fbi on pending investigations. the white house says mccabe initiated the conversations.
referring to there, that is a difference. what it doesn t deny, though, there are contacts between trump campaign advisors and russian officials known to u.s. intelligence and that s still significant enough by itself, anderson for not only fbi but senate and house intelligence committees to continue to investigate. and evan, this is is not a typical back and forth between the white house and fbi, right? that s right, anderson. this communication between the white house because of a decade hold restriction on contacts. the request from the white house would appear to violate procedures that limit these communications with the fbi on pending investigations. now the white house official says that the white house only did this because mccabe initiated the conversation. in other words, it was only after he brought it up. asking the fbi to help stories runs contrary to the justice department procedure memos issued in 2007 and 2009 that
house and the fbi was unusual because of decades-old restrictions on such contacts, specifically laying out laid out in two department of justice memos. if mccabe did say this to the white house, he may have overstepped, since it is an ongoing investigation, not to mention an investigation involving the president s associates and russia. the request from the white house is a violation of procedures that limits communications with the fbi on pending investigations. and these memos are very clear, brianna, saying who from the white house can speak to the department of justice, the officials in the department of justice. it s very clear that there should only be communication about pending investigations if it has to do with the performance of the president s duty or if it s an important law enforcement matter. and as we know, brianna, the fbi s counterterrorism, counterintelligence division, i should say, is still investigating this. all right, pamela brown, thank you for that report
