Yes. Okay. Yes. Im leaning trump. I think i think its pretty hard not to. So what was the reaction, how did the create react, kara . Well, i think it was interesting, i think people listened because it was a riveting explanation from her side about what happened. A lot of these investigations, well see what happens, i think she was talking about collusion, the same thing, this stuff couldnt have been a coincidence, there was a lot of Unusual Movement between when something happened with the Trump Campaign and when there was a, you know, a dumping of, say, podesta letter and there was a controversy. It was an interesting and fascinating exposition by her how she thinks things went down. Well see what happens during this investigation if that does turn out to be the case. Okay. Dana bash, you, now, President Trump took notice of secretary clintons comments tonight and tweeted, crooked Hillary Clinton now blames everybody but herself, refuses to say she was a terrible candidate, hits face
Compliance with the law. That is no small thing. And underlined the fact that during this campaign, we saw this time and again, general flynn was leading the chance of lock her up during the campaign and now hes being accused not just by democrats on the House Oversight committee and up on capitol hill but by fellow republicans that he was not in compliance with the law. I suspect that will come up in the briefing. At this point, the white house is offering no further comment than we dont have those documents to provide to the committee at this point which is not a response that will work for the committee for very long. Let me follow up on that. The white house is saying we dont have the documents and this is where general flynn worked for a time. And theyre referring people to the relevant agencies. What are those agencies . Reporter my guess is it would be the Defense Intelligence agency, the department of defense. If he did brief the Intelligence Agency as his attorney is saying at
Humanitarian reasons, plus i want russia to greatly step up their fight against isis and terrorism. Heres the thing, u. S. Intelligence officials tell cnn that there is concern about what russia will do with this information that some Officials Say is highly classified, and it could out a highly sensitive source and damage relations with the unnamed ally, the nation that entrusted washington with this intelligence. Were covering the story from every angle, across continents. I want to begin with joe johns at the white house. Again, joe, this statement from the president saying, yes, he did share information, a very different explanation, in some ways, perhaps, at odds with the theme professed last night from his National Security adviser, h. R. Mcmaster. Thats absolutely right, john, but i think we have to do a little bit of factchecking on the president s tweets this morning, starting with the fact that he referred to the meeting last week with the russians as openly scheduled. And it
Thats the great gripe and why youve seen at the various levels this laeeaking from the president to say this is not in your interest and then he gets on the phone and starts tweeting. Ive got to wrap this and head to my next hour. Susan, gloria, tom, thank you all very much. Lets roll. Youre watching cnn. Im brooke baldwin. The white house appears to now be distancing himself from michael flynn. This is the House Oversight committee revealed today that general flynn may have broken the law. Also revealed, the Trump Administration has denied a request for documents relating to the payment that general flynn received from a speech he gave in russia some years ago. Here is sean spicer moments ago. But youre acting as if you had responsibility of your own transition. Thats all im trying to i guess the question is he was making calls as a future National Security adviser. I understand that. Right now to ask the white house to produce documents not in the possession of the white house is rid
Night saying quote, this is not a truthful or accurate portrayal of the conversation between the president and mr. Comey, end quote. Were covering that and much more this hour with our guest including senator angus king and Elijah Cummings, Ranking Member of the house orsight committee. Koern koer correspondents and specialists are standing by. Pamela brown is standing by bp what are you learning from your sources . Reporter we learned that james comey former fbi director wrote in a memo shortly after a meeting he had in President Trump in february that the president asked him to end the Michael Flynn probe. Of course Michael Flynn was the former National Security adviser who resigned because it became public that he spoke about sanctions with ambassador from russia. We were told that comey was appalled that the president would try to interfere in an investigation like this and wanted him to end it, that he wanted to document it and make a paper trail. He recapped part of the conversat
