The fbis investigation into clintons emails comesnd uer investigation. Its at best untimely, but, you know, she created this mess. It wasnt director comey.

Im pleased to award the nations highest quite a surprise for Vice President joe biden. It gives the press one last chance to talk about our bromance. Announcer this mornings eye opener presented by toyota. Lets go places. Be it republican our democrat, nice moment. Very nice. Welcome to cbs this morning. President elect trump is responding more firmly to claims that russians have personal and professional information about him. James comey personally briefed the president elect last week about the claims. Sources say comey did not reveal all the salacious details. Christopher steele worked for an Investigation Company in london. It was client requested the information. Now this morning on twitter trump called it phony allegations put together by my political opponents and failed spy adding it might have been released by intelligence even knowing there was no proof and never will be. The president elect promised his own team will have a full report on hacking in 90 days. Major garrett is covering the trump transition. Major, good morning. Good morning. The piece is coming together about who gathered information about donald trump and how it might be connected to a russian blackmail plot, but mr. Trumps hard feelings about any of this remain and they said this matter was not discussed. Senators met thursday for classified intelligence briefing on russian cyber interference in e u. S. Election. I dont think ive ever been in an intelligence briefing as i was convinced before. Im more convinced now. Missing, however, the biggest topic, an unsubstance yatesed topic suggestioning that russia cultivated personal and embarrassing Financial Information on donald trump. The fbi has resources. They need to use them. They need to use them now. Last week u. S. Intelligence agencies included a summary of that unverified information in classified briefing to mr. Trump on russian hacking. Its all fake news. Its phony stuff. It didnt happen. Reporter it was also included a briefing to president obama and Vice President biden who described it as a headsup about something circulatings in media and political circles. They did not say any of this its substantiated but they felt was obliged. Mr. Trump has attacked them about the rumors and the summary briefing. And i think its a disgrace that informationould out. Allies of the president elect called his outrage well placed. Somebodys got to raise these questions. I mean, look, changes have got to be made. The fbi is the lead agency trying to see what if anything allegations raised against mr. Trump can be praised. Meanwhile loyalist giuliani was named a trump security adviser. Hell remain and try to bring outside expert tees. Thank you. While that investigation goes on, the fbi and james comey will face an interj investigation. It will include the use of Hillary Clintons private email server while she was secretary of state. One will have do with the conference on the states during the investigation. Jeff pegues is outside washington with more on that. Jeff, good morn zbhoogd morning. The inspector general, dojs inal it comes in response to several requests from some democratic members of congress who have been demanding an investigation. I dont think it was fair, professional, or consistent with the policies of the federal bureau of investigation. Democrats like illinois senator dick durbin welcome it. I think steps were taken by the director of the fbi near the election which were not precedented. It had not ever happened before. The inspector generals examination will examine whether policies or procedures were followed by the fbi, if there were any conflicts of interest, improper disclosures of confidential information to the clinton campaign. Were suggesting that in our view no charges are appropriate in this case. In July James Comey broke fbi protocol when he announced he had cleared secretary clinton in the email investigatio but 11 days before the investigation, comey sent a letter to congress saying he was essentially reopening the investigation after agents had discovered a batch of new ooums. Comey again cleared clinton nine days after that. But her campaign claims those headlines were losing the election. There are protocols in place not to intervene in political campaigns. These clearly what happened here, and we need to make sure this matter is cleared up and Something Like this cant happen again. For weeks comey has avoided the medial spotlight but he did testify on capitol hill when he was asked whether theres an investigation into president elect trumps ties with russian officials. We never confirm or deny a pending investigation. Im not saying the irony of your making that statement here, i cannot avoid. At issue is whether comey acted inappropriately and showed bad judgment. Said he welcomed the investigation and that the fbi will cooperate. Charlie . Thanks, jeff. Donald trumps cabinet nominees are contra digging the president elect on a surprising number of important issues. Retired jen val james mattis and congressman mike pompeo spent hours fielding questions yesterday during confirmation hearings. They broke with mr. Trump on nato, the iran nuclear deal, and other major policies. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill with the unexpected split. Nancy, good morning. Good morning. This week some of his nominees have parted ways with him on the wisdom of a border wall, a muslim ban, even on Climate Change. Now, that split has not necessarily troubled lawmakers. In fact, some are comforted because they want mr. Trump to surround himself by those who will challenge his world view. Either they pay up, including for past deficiencies, or they have to get out. And if i breaks up nato. Mr. Trump has made no secret of his disdain for nato. If we did not have nato today, we would need to create. It but his pick for secretary of defense general jaems mattis broke ranks on thursday and the knew calory deal with iran, which mr. Trump wants to undo. When america gives her word, we have to live up to it and work with our allies. One floor up from that hearing congressman mike pompeo, mr. Trumps choice for cia director, was charting a different course from his wouldbe boss on russia. Its pretty year what took place, about russias involvement and the impact on american democracy. Im very clear about what that Intelligence Report says. Reporter the congressman was asked repeatedly how he would bridge the growing divide between the cia and mr. Trump who falsely claimed this week that an embarrassing and unverified dossier was leaked. That comment divide republicans. Mr. President , with all due respect, i want to help you. That was just really unfair. One said he was just humerus. House Speaker Paul Ryan didnt find it funny. Do you agree that the member os testify u. S. Intelligence committee are behaving like nazis . I think hell floern appreciate all the great work that they do. Obviously those are not words i would use but hes understandably very frustrated. On twitter this morning mr. Trump acknowledged that he and his nominees disagree on some issues but he didnt seem to mind. He said all of my cabinet nominees are looking good and doing a great job. I want them to be themselves and mine. Norah . Nancy, thank you so much. Fiat chrysler is under fire with some Software Emissions tests.
