many republicans are focusing on the fact that comey admitted to leaking information and the fact that president trump never told mr. comey to drop the investigation into michael flynn, only that he hoped it would go away. nbc 10's lauren mayk was the only local reporter inside today's hearing. she's joining us live from inside that hearing room. tell us more about what you saw today, lauren. >> reporter: jim, you know, this hearing room has cleared out now but i can tell you there is now still work going on behind the scenes. for example, multiple senators here in this room today, they said that they wanted to see those memos that jim comey wrote detailing his nine one-on-one interactions, conversations with the president. so that is just one of the things still happening. now, the chair of this committee telling us after the hearing that this investigation is not over. jim comey leaving the hearing room after giving senators@wífñt to take in. the former fbi director saying nothing to us and the cameras after a two and a half hour testimony to the senate intelligence committee. >> do you believe the russia investigation played a role? >> in why i was fired? >> yes. >> yes, because i've seen the president say so. >> reporter: the republican chair of the committee announcing. >> this is nowhere near the end of our investigation. >> the one message that i hoped all americans will take home is recognizing how significant the russian interference in our electric trorl process was, how it goes to the core of our democracy. >> reporter: but much of the hearing today focusing on comey's interactions with president trump. >> when a president of the united states in the oval office says something like, i hope, or i suggest, or would you, do you take that as a directive? >> yes. >> senator first coops said he found the former fbi director today believable. >> did you hear anything that strikes you as obstruction of justice? >> that's a legal conclusion that i'm not going to jump to but what i did hear is that president trump engaged in shocking uncalled for inappropriate unethical behavior inçc repeatedly meeting with t fbi director and pushing him to abandon an investigation against general flynn. >> reporter: and former director comey said multiple times here today that he couldn't talk about something in open session, often it was about that russia investigation. and i can tell you that senators here today the ones on this committee did get a chance to have a closed door session with him in a secure room just down the hall from here right afterwards. one senator said afterwards that much of what they talked about they actually did already know but he also said that on the issue of whether there is obstruction of justice, again, jim comey would not make a judgment on that, pushing that over to bob muller, the special counsel. jim. >> lauren, fascinating to see you this afternoon inside that room with no one there. it was packed earlier today. you were inside. so describe for us what you noticed while you were in there perhaps that the public didn't get a chance to see. >> reporter: you know, jim, one of the things i noticed wasn't necessarily something you could see but something you could hear actually. jim comey was sitting right there at that table and in front f1 o photographers, print photographers, their cameras make noises, it's something that you watching at home you probably couldn't hear that because he was using a microphone so you probably couldn't hear that, but when you're sitting here in the room you can and they started to go off every time he mentioned something that was surprising, something we didn't know. most of these people in the room probably read his opening statement that was put out yesterday so he knew some of the things he might talk about, but, for example, as you mentioned he firing which we were not expected. so when things like that happen you heard the clatter of those cameras going off. probably couldn't hear that at home. jim. >> lauren mayk, thanks for that perspective. and our team coverage does not stop here. still ahead at 5:15 we go one-on-one with nbc's lester holt. the why his interview with the president was front and center today on capitol hill. plus atw; 5:30 comey watch parties and why it's more than just politics. count on nbc 10 for updates

dispute between what the president told him and what james comey says happened. a . this is nbc 10 news. tonight all eyes on washington, thentkptáh(áátk hearing is the big buzz in our nation's capitol and the outcome could potentially impact president trump. this is one of the most highly anticipated congressional hearings in decades and nbc's lester holt is joining us now. thanks for being here essentially from different parts of the same building tonight. you recently conducted that exclusive interview with the president now a big dispute between what the president told you and what comey said happened as sort of he said/he said that we saw center stage tonight. what do you make of that? >> well, on a couple levels one was the whole timing of that dinner that they discussed, the president had told me that comey had requested the interview, that he wanted to talk about his job. comey's testimony is just the opposite, he says the president called him that day and said, look, i will have your family over at some point but i'd like you to come over, they dined alone, and he says the president brought up his job which he thought they had already discussed. there was that, then the issue of the firing itself. you will recall the president told me that he was thinking about that russia thing when he chose to fire comey and comey says he now takes the president at his word and that he originally believed he was fired because of his handling of the clinton>dd affair, but he says after hearing that interview he took the president at his word and he believes he was fired because of that russia thing as the president put it. >> yeah, and james comey essentially saying today the administration was lying when they described why comey was fired because of his impact at the agency. actually calling out the white house -- the administration saying they're liars today. >> yeah, and on several levels he said that they had lied about him and the fbi he was -- you may recall early in his testimony he was very defensive about the fbi and the president had talked about it being -- i'm being out of control and on bad times. he stated just the opposite. he noted while he wanted to keep his job the fbi will be fine in anyone's hands, but he took great offense at all of that. >> lester, we know there is the perspective here inside the belt way, right, and across america i assume some of our cress depends from nbc news will be taking the pulse of people interest outside the belt way. talk to me about the difference how this plays in washington today versus across america. >> we're still gathering on that right now. of course washington was riveted today, but i think a lot of the country, this is what people were talkinghc;d about, this hg was on par with the clarence thomas hearings, the watergate hearings, many have compared it to the benghazi hearings with secretary clinton a couple years ago, but there's high interest here and as you know there were watch parties and bars and restaurants opening early so that people could watch this and kind of share a community experience, but there was a lot dóq away from this no matter where you stand on this. as we know the president's outside daughters quickly came out today and said, look, this vindicates the president, it's exactly what he said, that he wasn't the subject of an investigation. so there's a lot more people who find themselves on either side of this issue of the president and russia to walk away with and say, yeah, see, i told you. >> when i was at the train station in philly this morning getting ready to come down to washington the guy at the coffee shop was looking at my phone, he said i wish i could watch today but i can't so let me know how he did. lester holt, thanks for joining us here. >> you got it, jim. let's send it now back to philadelphia and keith and jacqueline with more news of the day. >> jim rosenfield live from washington, d.c., we

day as we told you was going to happen with the east wind, that it was going to stay in the low 60s and that's do that tomorrow. this storm moving out, taking the rain with it and leaving us with sunshine tomorrow everywhere. tacony at 83 degrees, allentown 78 degrees. most of the area actually getting above 80 except perhaps right at the beaches of new por, a bit of a sea breeze coming in at

the key take a ways from today's testimony. comey says the administration chose to defame him with lies. he says he hopes there are recordings of his conversations with the president and would consent to their release. comey says he took notes of their meetings because he feared president trump would lie. comey also says that he wasn't fired because he had lost the confidence of the fbi as the president claims. >> by saying that the organization was in disarray, that it was poorly led, that the workforce had lost confidence in its leader, those were lies plain and simple. >> it's my judgment that i was fired because of the russia investigation. >> president trump said nothing about comey today, letting his attorney, his personal attorney, respond instead. >> the president never in form or substance directed or suggested that mr. comey stop-f investigating anyone including the president never suggested that mr. comey, quote, letl @ n go. >> and when asked at the white house

9p methods tried to shapee way we think,ylf vote, we act. >> i want to know if there was any incriminating evidence against the president. i mean, it's the first time this has ever happened in my lifetime. >> reporter: the bottom line -- >> i don't think we want any country kind of intruding or knowing anything about our intelligence. >> we are all americans and to think that russia is interfering in our elections or to think that russia has the amount of influence that it has in our elections should trouble any american. >> reporter: so unlike a super bowl of politics>[;gn and one
