Welcome to cbs this morning. Long before President Trump fired james comey, he asked for his personal loyalty. The two had dinner in january soon after the inauguration. Comey only told the president he would be honest with him. Since the first tv interview, President Trump calls james comey a showboat. He said the dismissal was his idea and he said russia and the election was on his mind when he let comey go. That contradicts statements inside the white house. The acting fbi director Andrew Mccabe defended comey yesterday. He said its, quote, highly in washington with details of the Comey White House dinner. Good morning. Reporter good morning. By that time the fbi was already investigating whether Trump Campaign associates were coordinating with the russians during the 2016 campaign. I had a dinner with him. He wanted to have dinner because he wanted the stay on. In an interview with nbc news, President Trump detailed his private january conversation with then fbi director james comey. That dinner was arranged. I the h asked for the dinner. He wanted the stay on as the fbi head and i said ill consider, see what happens. But we had a very nice dinner, and at that time he told me, you are not under investigation. But Law Enforcement sources who spoke to comey tell a different story. They say comey was invited to white house where the President Trump asked the fbi director if he would pledge his loyalty to comey declined, instead telling trump he would always be honest. The president twice more pressed comey for loyalty, the third time asking for honest loyalty. For that comey responded, yes, you will have that. Theres no collusion between me and the campaign and the russians. Inside fbi headquarters there are growing concerns the white house is trying on get in the way of the bureaus Russian Investigation, calling it a crisis. One federal Law Enforcement official tells cbs news, there a whole lot of interfering happening. But sources are telling us agents are pushing ahead with the Russian Investigation despite the turmoil swirling around them. The white house was floating the idea of President Trump coming down to fbi headquarters today, but that idea has been scrapped. We did reach out to the white house on comment of the president s dinner,ut we have not heard back. Jeff, thank you so much. In that tv interview, President Trump contradicted the white house prediction of how comey was fired. He discussed it with his attorney general and deputy. Other officials including the Vice President say the department followed the skrus it is departments advice. Margaret brennan is at the white house. Margaret, good morning. Good morning. White house press spokesperson Sarah Sanders dismissed it as simply symantecs. Hes a showboat, a grandstander. President trump said he had decided to fire former fbi director comey long before Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein recommended he do so. Oh, i was going to fire regardless of recommendation. He made a recommendation. Hes highly respected. Very good guy, very smart guy. The democrats like him. The republicans like him. He made a recommendation. But regardless of recommendation, i was going to fire comey. That conflicts with accounts given by Vice President mike pence and administrative aides who described rosenstein as the deciding factor. President trump made the right decision at the right time, and to accept the recodammention of the Deputy Attorney general. He took the recommendation of Rod Rosenstein, the attorney general. Quickly after receiving that recommendation, the president made the decision to let director comey go. The president admitted the ongoing fbi probe into his campaign ties to russia was on his mind as he dismissed comey. Knowing there was no good time to do it. And, in fact, when i decided to just do it, i said to myself, you know, this russia thing with trump story. Wasnt krched about optics when the day after firing comey, he held an Oval Office Meeting with the Russia Foreign minister per russia president vladimir putin. It was set up and i could have waited but what difference does it make. That same day mr. Trump also met with the you krachbian foreign minister. An oval office visit only revealed after the pictures were posted on the ministers twitter account. He portrayed both meetings as a peacemaking initiative. Remember it triggered those u. S. Sachksings that now both moscow and many u. S. Businesses would like President Trump to lift. Gayle . Margaret, thank you. The acting fbi director said Many Administration talking inaccurate. Andrew mccabe took the place of comey yesterday. Questions about shakeup in russia dominated the hearing. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill with the latest. Good morning. Good morning. If the president was hoping he would get a friendlier fbi director now that comey was gone, he made it clear the Russian Investigation will not be dropped. Director mccabe, welcome to table and into the fray. Comeys former deputy suddenly at the helm disputed the claim that the rank and file wanted comey gone. No, sir, that not accurate. Director comey enjoy broad support within the fbi and still does to this day. Many cabe also kaftd doubt President Trumps claim that coy under investigation. Im not aware of that being a standard practice. Reporter as to the white houses recommendation and whether it was a minor probe is it in relation to all the other work youre doing many. Sir, we consider it to be a highly significant investigation. So far republicans have resisted democratic calls for a special prosecutor. How is this not obstruction of justice. But the shifting stories from the white house are putting pressure on the gop. And if the president has made contra dingtsing statements, that would be up to the president to explain himself. On thursday they were invited as the urging of his democratic counterpart chuck schumer. This investigation will not die, no matter who wants it to. Rosenstein was actually here on capitol hill yesterday for a long planned meetingit leaders of the Senate Intelligence committee. Theyre discussing ways to avoid having these two froing investigations now, one at the fbi, one at the senate, from interfering with one another. Thank you, nancy. Gerry seib is with us. Good morning. Where are we . I think the question is can the white house get the story straight on what happened and how it happened and secondly can the fbi be led going forward. Do you sense from one of the things mccabe said, the acting fbi director said, that the investigation is, he used the word, highly significant, that they that have something going on there that leads them to believe . I dont know if to believe. But he had sought additional resources. That tells you theyre seeing something thats worth pursuing. Its not going away. Chuck schumer made a good point. This idea of a dinner that occurred between the two of them where the president of the United States asked the fbi director for his loyalty and then solicits information about an ongoing investigation. Well, you know, the letter from the president saying i fired jim comey came out, the stunner after the initial explosion was this line that said he told me three times that im not under investigation, which is really not a proper way to conduct this kind of thing. The other strange aspect of that dinner is the implication from what the president said to lester holt, that he had a decision whether to keep jim comey or not. Normally they do not decide whether to keep em regardless of the president ial election. Thats called into question. What do you make of it . On one hand you have the president called him a show bother and grandstander and then many cake says, no, no, no. I have three reasons why. First, the president acted on the justice department. He declined chld and then the president said i was going to fire him anyway. I think there was a question over the way he handled the Hillary Clinton email last year. I think the two have gotten conflated. I dont think theyre the same thing and i think thats what the acting director said yesterday. What is i think that one of the things the white house has done is try to get him out of the predictment he was in and he was an unhappy camper. There was a question on the way he was handled. He did not say in that letter he should be fired and i think Rod Rosenstein doesnt want to be fingered as the guy who fired him. Yeah. I think the key people to watch in washington are a small group of moderate and independent senators on the republican side, maybe fewer than ten, whose support, think, is important. Lindsey graham, jeff flake. Theyre republicans in swing states up for reee leejts. How they gauhi an important thing. The most important thing, what about republicans. Gerry seib, thank you so much.
