decision-making process that is so quixotic, that he might order a nuclear weapons strike that is wildly out of step with u.s. national security interests. >> our allies who rely on u.s. defense assurances are watching. and if we create doubt in their minds about the capability or willingness of the united states to live up to those commitments in any way -- and i'm not claiming that's what

proposed that meeting is this correct, yes or no. >> yes. i pushed back. with putin. >> reporter: his answer to how he could forget a meeting like this? >> it was a brilliant campaign i think, in many

not a pawn of the president. >> the department of justice can never be used to retaliate politically against opponents and that would be wrong. >> reporter: sessions said there would have to be a factual basis to appoint a special counsel, in other words, evidence he a crime has been committed. but sessions recused himself from the investigation into the 2016 campaign, so it's unclear how this
