that james comey, the former fbi director, apparently wrote about an interaction with president trump wanting that setting that deadline for tomorrow for comey to turn those over. no indication that that is going to happen. now it is unclear whether or not there are any recordings. cnn has filed a number of foyer requests with a number of agencies to figure out if there are recordings. so far nothing back yet. but erin, one other piece of news that the house intelligence committee is moving forward next week. they plan to bring forward hillary clinton s former campaign chairman, john poe december ta to interview him. of course his e-mails were hacked into, leaked and became a political problem. they will hear from him in a classified session next week. thank you very much. and out front now, a democratic congressman, a member of the house intelligence committee. thanks for being with me. to be clear, the president says he has no tapes in a tweet. the top democrat in your committee
intimidate him. if this is at least trump was trying to intimidate jim comey, what does that mean for robert mueller and his investigation? it backfired because, remember, it was this tweet about the potential for tapes that led jim comey, at least by his testimony to then be worried about trump trying to intimidate witnesses that then led to the appointment of a special prosecutor. even as an intimidation factor, it backfired on trump. mueller is a to fisophisticated prosecutor. they know why witnesses do this. he is the president of the united states. the rest of the world is looking at this and they say that our president either lies and our enemies know that he lies. that weakens our possession when we need our allies to do something and when we need our enemies to believe us.
