might want to play. while you can t go through the front door about trump organization finances because deutsche bank was the bank that all these enterprises relied on for their money flow, it provides a roadmap for understanding the trump financial world and from that you can then take the second steps to determine if something is or is not proper. and leading up to potentially what we are learning today, nancy cook, wednesday a u.s. district judge refused to block the subpoenas reporting was from the house financial services and intelligence committees for trump records related to deutsche bank and capital one here. is this related, do we know? seems like it is at least based on the very reporting coming out on these two headlines. well, i think what is related is the implication that it has
business with the trump financial world. so i think it s a methodical step by step analysis of where we are, what we still have to do. the fact is, i believe that if the president was compromised, he was compromised from a financial point of view. you believe he was compromised from a financial point of view. that is, obviously, one of the things that s being looked into and there remains a lot of open questions. one thing there seems to be more information is prosecutors saying over the weekend that they have evidence showing direct communication between roger stone and wikileaks. was this news to you, or were you aware of it and can you add any more detail on what it might entail? i think what the american public should take from all of this is that the special counsel is slowly unveiling pulling the veil over a pattern of behavior of contacts, communication and discussions with the russians and trump associates. it gets closer and closer to
know, when the united states recedes from the world, that leaves a vacuum for russia and china. so if you are part of the european alliance and the president has trashed that alliance again and again and again, and you see these fractures, and we know russia, as we just said, is a manipulator. they like to manipulate these kinds of fractures. so i think from the perspective of the strength of the united states in the world, which i m more concerned about as an american than as a partisan, it is not it makes the world less safe when the united states retreats. and, obviously, our allies don t believe they can trust this president and surely they got cold comfort last night when they heard the president listens to putin more than anyone else. and i would submit that s probably the person whispering in his ear. funny you should mention the munich security conference. there was a contrast in receptions. we have this sound and mike
countries we know don t have the best interests of the world at heart to have influence countries like china and like iran and like russia are filling in voids around the world. and our european allies see it. don t get me wrong. our european allies need to step up sometimes, too. we d like to be silent on some of the things they do and they re head-scratchers. but they are part of our extended family in the national security posture around the world, and we need to continue to work with them. they have to get invited to the dinner. all right. have to leave it there. mike rogers, karen finney and jeffrey toobin. robert mueller s team says it has evidence of roger stone communicate with wikileaks. what does this revelation mean? a member of the house intel committee joins us next.
korea doesn t have that missile capability. i believe putin. what s your reaction? well, obviously, that s very, very concerning to me. these are his intelligence folks who are calling lots of points of collection, meaning human and electronic and digital. every form of int as they would say. they take all of that information and then they come up with a policy or at least proposal or at least an understanding of what s going on in the world. the president needs to have faith and trust in that information. it s the best that we have by the best that we have in america to provide it. and so when you walk away from that information, that to me is very, very concerning. and you can t not want to believe it. it s the one good thing about the intelligence community is they ll lay it on your table. it may not fit your political narrative. it may. but they ll tell you what the facts on the ground are and then it s up to policymakers to take it from there. saying off the chart that, gee, i j
