Good morning from the studio 57 newsroom at cbs news headquarters here in new york. Good to be with you. Im annemarie green. Well, this morning british Prime Minister theresa may is facing calls to step down. Mays conservative party lost its parliamentary majority in an election she called hoping to win it. Win a stronger mandate. The stunning setback has the Labor Party Jeremy Corbyn calling for mays resignation. The command shes got lost conservancy, lost support, and lost confidence. I would have thought that was enough to go actually and make way for a government that will be truly representative of all of the people of this country. This morning mays resignation looks unlikely. Thats according to british media, but the results of her political gamble could delay the start of britains exit from the european union. Jane ferguson is outside the parliament in london this morning. Good morning, jane. We hear there have been calls for mays resignation. She has scheduled a press conference this morning. What can we expect . Reporter in about an hours time, annemarie, shes going to give a statement, and we are expecting, as you said, the british media say shes likely to hang tough. Shes not going to give in to those calling for her resignation just yet, but shes under huge pressure to form some sort of government before Parliament Comes together on tuesday the 13th. So people are looking to her for some sort of sign for what her plan is on putting a leadership together for britain in the meantime. So what does this mean for the future of brexit . Will it have an impact . This election was called by theresa may in the first place to negotiate a deal, the terms of that deal that are going to be hard fought and extremely complex. What this means now is even more uncertainty as it has backfired enormously, and british people are looking to hopefully to have their government rule their own country, never mind move forward with the intimate negotiations for leaving brexit. This could delay the start of the negotiations which are already under pressure to get started as it is. We look forward to hearing from theresa may. Jane ferguson in britain. Thank you so much, jane. Thank you. Now to the political fireworks in this country. The former director of the fbi called the president of the United States a liar. In his testimony before the Senate Intelligence committee, james comey said he was fired because of the Russian Investigation in an effort to change the way the investigation was being conducted. Comey also said he leaked information about his conversations with the president to spur the appointment of a special counsel. Weijia jiang is in washington. Weijia, good morning. Reporter good morning, annemarie. That is exactly why the trump team is considering comeys testimony a victory, claiming the former fbi director only hurt himself. But this morning we are still waiting to hear directly from President Trump who has a News Conference scheduled for later today. Those were lies plain and simple. Reporter ousted fbi director james comey spoke candidly for almost three hours thursday, accusing President Trump and his administration of defamation and lies. I was honestly concerned that he might lie about the nature of our meeting, and so i thought it was really important to document. Reporter speaking to the intelligence committee, comey kept memos of his meetings with the president , particularly the one where he asked him to drop the investigation of former National Security adviser michael flynn. He did not direct you to let it go. I took it as an admission. Reporter comey later admitted he asked a friend and professor at Columbia University to leak that to the reporter. Mr. Comey has now admit thad he is one of these lyrics. Reporter comeys testimony has divided lawmakers here on capitol hill over whether the president violated the law. Do you believe the president obstructed justice at all . I do not believe there is. Was what the president did was appropriate . I just dont see how anybody can look at the facts and say yes. Reporter comey would not say whether or not he thought President Trump obstructed justice, but the president s lawyer says he feels completely vindicated. President trump has alluded to the possibility that recordings exist between him and comey who during his hearing, annemarie, says he hopes there are tapes and he hopes they are all released. Hes not the only one considering that considering how many watched his testimony yesterday. Weijia jiang in washington. Thank you so much. Well, comey said he started taking notes because he knew it would come down to his words against the president s. Last night on the cbs evening news, John Dickerson spoke about that. How does the public know whos telling the truth . Well, whose character did he judge better. They were attacking comey before he even opened his mouth. He was a showboat. The democrats had criticized him before he became their hero. He hurt the fbi. Mike pence, then governor of indiana called it the politics of personal destruction. Of course, we heard comey had his own character claims to make about the president , said it was in his nature to lie, but then at the end of the day the president s personal lawyer had the final word saying comey had anonymously leaked that information and he should be investigated for it. Comey was called a nutjob in the white house. Well, he said the president did not ask him to take action on the investigation into the russian interference in the election, and as jeff pegues reports, comey made it clear russian efforts to undermine the u. S. Are ongoing. There should be no fuzz on this whatsoever. The russians interfered in our election. Reporter comey testified that in 2015 u. S. Investigators detected Russian Hackers were sending waves of malicious emails to government and nonprofit organizations. Committee chairman richard burr. What would be the estimate of how many entities out there the russians specifically targeted . Its hundreds. I suppose it could be more than a thousand, but its at least hundreds. Reporter as they began to investigate, u. S. Intelligence agencies discovered that some Trump Campaign associates were in contact with russian officials, including fired National Security adviser michael flynn. By the time comey met with the president in february in the oval office, comey said flynn was in legal jeopardy. There was an open fbi criminal investigation of his statements in connection with the russian contacts and contacts themselves. Reporter comey told senior advisers that the president asked him to let go of the flynn investigation, but they decided not to inform attorney general jeff sessions. We were aware of facts he would not discuss in an open setting that would make his continues engagement in a Russian Investigation problematic. Reporter days later sessions recused himself from the investigation after it was revealed that he had not disclosed all of his meetings with the russian ambassador. Besides flynn, fbi is now scrutinizing former Campaign Manager paul manafort, former Campaign Adviser carter page, bob stone, and his soninlaw jared kushner. Do you believe the president colluded with russia . Its an answer i shouldnt answer in an open setting. When i left, we did not focus on the question of President Trump, but thats a question that will be answered by the investigation, i think. Reporter jeff pegues, cbs news, washington. On wednesday the acting fbi director said he couldnt answer certain questions because the president could be under investigation now or in the future. Well, ahead on cbs this morning, bob woodward, the associate editor of the washington post, is one of the reporters who broke the story that led to Richard Nixons resignation. Well ask him about comeys testimony. The Government Contractor charged with leaking classified government documents has been denied bail.
