will be answered by the investigation i think. the big picture for trup is that this investigation is metastasizing beyond what russia did. now it involves the president, former campaign manager and former national security adviser. investigators want to talk to jared kushner and the top intelligence chief, already have public testimony from the former fbi director. now that this is inside the white house, there s a lot of folks that work with the president that may find themselves called to testify to mueller s investigation, which means what? more lawyers, more people involved. let s return to the big scoop in the wall street journal, that the president s conversation with his nsa chief wasn t just trying to convince comey to back off. paul, welcome to the show. i want to talk specifically on this phone call. we knew earlier that the president, reporting that the
heard from him earlier this woke. other than the statement that we initially got from sean spicer we really haven t heard much from them in the wake of in reporting. but one ning is clear it s going to be very difficult for them to leave the stories haunting them in the american press behind. even as they had hoped to embark on this foreign trip. a five nation foreign trup, a very ambitious agenda particularly for a newly minted president and really refocus what the president wanted to talk about. there were a number of things he considered good deals he could get done while abroad. but it s pretty clear the controversies at home are still going to haunt him even while overseas. when the president lands what are his immediate plans? well he is going to be doing some ceremonial things bilateral meetings. but the attention is focused on the spe speech in saudi arabia on sand we re told by excellent russ producer kevin liptak has landed in riyadh that as of right now in the current fo
it s a good time to get your ducks in a row. duck: quack! call to request your free decision guide now. because the time to think about tomorrow is today. jenna: right now with congress back in session shortly, the investigation into russian interference in the presidential election is heating up. a closed-door hearing set up for next week with many heavy hitters invited to testify including the fbi and nsa directors. our chief correspondent is live in washington with more. the house intelligence committee is sending me letters directing james comey and mike rogers to testify next week and enclose classified hearing about the fbi s counterintelligence investigation into the the trup campaign associates and their alleged connections to russia. the two directors testified publicly last month. a schedule for a follow-up session that was canceled after the chairman found new records
[applause] about to deal with unstable man who has nuclear weapons. what can possibly go wrong? dana: president trump and kim jong-un are just as big as dangerous to o the world. joining us from st. louis to analyze ed l martin former chare of the missouri chairman of the missouri republican party. let me start with you ed, do you think that was funny? yes. i think it s comical, united states senator that wants to run for president. think she s very won t and she s doing something so odd. it som funny in the sense that it s sad. elizabeth warren kind of takes things to the bottom. as long as she and the democrats doing things like that and yelling the russians. the american people are not distracted. the morning shes, did that, trup was in wisconsin saying buy america and hire american. dana: that s really good point. she is out there she has a
has to make a huge impression on president she when it comes to north korea. it s really a threefold message, want to bashar al-assad, two to the russians and three to the chinese about north korea. what happens to bashar al-assad? nikki haley was with her the other day interviewing her, she called him a war criminal. that means bringing him to the international criminal court, potentially. only 30 seconds left. does he leave the regime change? is not so moscow friendly because of their bases there? we still don t know. i don t think the policies such as it is toward syria has change. as your interview with nikki haley shows because a week earlier she had been saying exactly the opposite things. we don t know what the the trup administration has in mind of broader goals for syria and for bashar al-assad. judy miller i know you will be with us in the evening. thanks so much.
