9:06 am
as he walks on pennsylvania avenue from where he took the oath of office towards the white house he steps on to a political battlefield. pennsylvania avenue is the heart of washington that connects major political players congress the f.b.i. the department of justice. the press. the white house. this is the story set at one of the most powerful capitals in the world a political and judicial conflict. a battle that has pitted tromp against those who believe he was an accomplice and russia's interference. a battle for the truth about the. assessment of the united states and for the friends of bulls of american democracy. according to top u.s.
9:07 am
intelligence chiefs the russians interfered in the 2016 presidential election putin they say developed a clear preference for trump over clinton so russia's intelligence services stole and leaked thousands of clinton's e-mails to discredit her. 2 weeks before his inauguration they brief trump. trump rejects their conclusions he does not want his victory to be questioned. the intelligence agencies maintain their findings and partially release them to the public they say putin ordered an influence campaign to help trump win the election. putin's role is immediately raised in congress which calls the chiefs of the intelligence community to testify. on. their question by democratic party senator i just go down the line in. any of your
9:08 am
careers have you ever seen this level of russian interference in our political process and start with draconian just going on lord no. i have known. you know. i think very few documents that i can remember would have had the political weight and the political influence of this particular document. the purpose of making that report was to make sure the american people were aware of some of the dynamics going on behind the scenes this was the 1st time that a major covert action major clandestine action against the united
9:09 am
states at the very heart of our democratic process had been tempted because of the sophistication. and then the pervasiveness of those attempts to have a widespread impact it was broader than anything that had been seen in prior actions so really. you know what has intelligence community you know for sure is blaming russian president vladimir putin to win again and again. russia tried everything possible to lose the election only i pod intelligence and there are multiple sources. only 3 days after the intelligence report a new classified document makes the headlines i want to be very precise here multiple u.s. officials with direct knowledge of the briefings tell c.n.n. that classified documents included allegations that russian operatives claimed to have compromising personal and financial information about mr trump this is
9:10 am
a confidential report written by an ex british spy christopher steele on secret links between trump his businesses and the russians. it claims moscow has been helping trump all along with the regular flow of intelligence and that the russians have compromising material on. the main point of the steel dossier that there was an ongoing attempt by the russians to get close to the trump campaign is undisputed at this point he doesn't like the fact that the press said it but it is out there is no mr president like president since you were trying to decision can you get with the still dossier made public news trucks battle with the press intensifies rice or twice
9:11 am
a day why it was resonating the way you say categorically why should the president like can you give us are going to be reuniting us can you give us are going to be you know not getting into during his 1st weeks at the white house trump is on the defensive the man who just appointed national security adviser general michael flynn is caught in the eye of the storm. he lied about his contacts with moscow and the russian embassy and washington. the press reveals it and trump has to retreat mike flynn is a fine person and i asked for his resignation he respectfully gave it flynn is the 1st victim of the battle of washington but firing flint is not enough the question remains what are the relations between trump and moscow did she knowingly cooperate with a hostile foreign power to take over the leadership of the united states.
9:12 am
for many months to come finding the truth will test the pillars of the american political system the independence of justice of the freedom of the press and the rule of law. under pressure from the press and from the democrats congress gets involved. in congress before the 2018 it term elections the republicans trumps party are the majority and the democrats are the opposition but on some crucial issues it's a tradition for the 2 parties to work together this is the spirit of bipartisanship . it's just. since keeping the american people safe and maintaining a such a strong homeland of national security is so important to this country it is the issue that demands the most bipartisan support and so democrats and republicans
9:13 am
demanded that there be a bipartisan investigation demanded that there be bipartisan hearings and i was hopeful that this would lead to bipartisan action congressional committees have power and they can summon whomever they want as witnesses and lying to them is a crime their public hearings on pollard by millions of americans and so high ranking high level government officials came to the congress the united states in front of the american people under oath and gave their assessment about russia's interference in our election a key figure and they see hearings as james combing the director of the f.b.i. who heads up a staff of more than 35000 men and women. i have been authorized by the department of justice to confirm that the f.b.i. as part of our counterintelligence mission is investigating the russian government's efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election and that includes investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with
9:14 am
the trump campaign and the russian government and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and russia's efforts. and early may 2017 if he is grilled over the involvement of truong in camp komi himself us gets into a minefield and have you ruled out the president out of state i don't know what people over interpret his answer i'm not going to comment on anyone in particular so potentially the president ited states could be a target of your ongoing investigation breath. i just worry i don't want to answer that because that's seems to me unfair speculation that we will follow the evidence will try and find as much as we can we'll follow the evidence wherever it leads by refusing to say publicly that trump is not under investigation komi is just put himself on a collision course with the president. this is an n.b.c. news special report here's mr holmes and good day everyone we learned
9:15 am
a short time ago that president trump has fired f.b.i. director james comey we're in a less than a week after coleman's hearing in congress trump fires him an attack against the f.b.i. and explosive news. bombshell from the white house wait to be i director james cool we fired my president we can we don't know this is something that caught all the law enforcement community by surprise and in court the intelligence community in washington d.c. the surprise here. and the dismissal came in harsh terms in a letter signed by the president you are terminated immediately. i was stunned i think most of the american public was stunned i didn't even realize
9:16 am
the president could fire the f.b.i. director the f.b.i. director serves by law for a 10 year period and so it came as a shock i talked to a number of friends colleagues after that happened who are still in the f.b.i. and it was this essence of i can't believe the president did this but i think he was just exercising what he believed was his authority just as if he was the c.e.o. of trump enterprises. and congress one question needs to be addressed by the investigative committee why did trump fire james komi. why do you believe you were fired. so i don't know for sure i believe the prick think the president at his word that i was fired because of the russian rustication something about the way i was conducting it the president felt created pressure on him they wanted to relieve he was asking for something and i was
9:17 am
refusing to give it. and fact early in his term trump asked to speak to komi in private. there was a meeting at the white house a one on one meeting between trump and call me call me must have had his antenna up because he felt like something was wrong because as soon as he was done that meeting he wrote up these memos. after meeting with trump call me sat in his car and wrote down what was discussed the meeting was about general fled the advisor who had lied about his contacts with russia trump said he hoped komi coming let the matter go. i hope you can let this go now those are his exact words is that correct correct and you wrote them here and you put them in quotes correct ok he did not order you to let it go it is a present united states with me alone saying i hope this i took it as this is what he wants me to do now i mean i didn't obey that but that's why it took. colin's
9:18 am
account is correct if if the president calls in the director the f.b.i. and says can you can you drop the case you guys have against this person for political reasons i think that absolutely is obstruction of justice. american law says anybody from an average citizen all the way up to the president who tries to block and a criminal investigation for the wrong reasons with what we call corrupt intent a bad motive. is guilty of obstruction of justice did you at any time former f.b.i. director james comey in any way shape or form to close or to back down the investigation into michael flynn and also as you will know next question next question. soon after firing the f.b.i.
9:19 am
director trump is about to face a new challenge. feature breaking news right now tonight i'm sure this would probably do justice to the special counsel to counsel robert. bobb holder to now oversee the pressure probe and look at the possible connections between top campaign associates and rush and this is. only 8 days after the firing of james combing the justice department appoints robert muller to take over the russian probe. for this mission robert mueller was called out of retirement he had been director of the f.b.i. for 12 years and in 2013 he had left the law enforcement agency with full honors and his farewell speech he proclaimed his unshakable faith in the rule of law. have always been proud to say that i work for the department of justice because of that
9:20 am
for which it stands which is an unyielding commitment to the rule of law and to the safety and security of the citizens we serve a know. quite well. i worked with him for about 4 years when i was the cia deputy director and he was the director of the f.b.i. . he's not a self promoting individual and he has a very high standard for what is true and what is not true administrator pistole he pointed me as his number 2 person in the f.b.i. as a deputy director and so i had the chance to get to know him and then. work with him so let me say a few words about director ball or politics or just don't play any role in his calculations so he is all about finding the truth and doing it under the rule of law so yeah he's a man to be told that. robert muller has placed under
9:21 am
the authority of the department of justice and it's deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. his new orders give him far reaching powers. moller can investigate moscow's relations with the trump campaign and any other matters. most are waste no time immediately orders the preservation of millions of official documents forbidding the destruction of records that could be useful in the russia probe e-mails phone records audio recordings metadata and storage devices recordings adventure or accident the building's video surveillance. once a person or a company or or a bureaucracy knows that there's a criminal investigation to destroy evidence after that becomes a federal crime and so i think mahler's 1st move was
9:22 am
a smart one but the order also shows that there is a concern that these documents might be destroyed by a white house that is trying to hide the truth from investigators. this was only the beginning of a bitter struggle between muller and the president of the united states. so we have mr miller who's known as a tough cop he's a big impose in 6 foot something experienced justice department official he's a tough cop the press was saying he's a tough cop he always gets his man. and he will press and squeeze and he will find what is truth and what is fiction he is careful he is by the book he does not speak publicly other than his court filings he is incredibly hard working and focused mr trump on the other hand is
9:23 am
a bulldog and he is impulsive where i could stand in the middle if if they have a new and shoot somebody and i wouldn't lose any voters ok it's like incredible there are not 2 more different people on earth than bob mahler and president trump and very early on in the in this whole process i think the trunk people realize that the best defense would be a political one and not a legal one legally they really don't have a lot to stand on trump and his people made a determination very early on we're going to claim that this whole thing is politically motivated is a witch hunt that whole way if they really were the witch hunt i would call it the rig to which i don't. know what you're saying if you know when she was a democrat gets fired when you don't add something. on the phone to you which you truly was.
9:24 am
as washington celebrates the 4th of july. and dependence to a major offensive against the president is about to be launched. the surprise attack comes from the center of washington from the press. the new york times claims the trump campaign was in secret contact with russian officials 5 months before the 2016 election a major scoop. this was the work of our washington best a case of saying it was over and over weeks that we learned more and more about the meeting and the fact is that occurred. so yes it was very exciting to have that scoop again we didn't know that much about that meeting we didn't learn it all at once but we've built on it since then and mahler is looking in that meeting the
9:25 am
meeting is organized via emails between the son of the president and an intermediary who offered quote information that would incriminate hillary and would be very useful to donald trump ultra sensitive stuff he adds don jr answers if it's what you say i love it the meeting takes place on the 9th of june 2016 in new york at trump tower around the table donald trump's son his son in law his campaign director paul manna for intermediary and for russian nationals the news spread like wildfire according to the new york times the rush to new york times report on to the new york times reports the president's son donald trump jr was promised damaging information about hillary clinton for agreeing to meet last summer with a russian lawyer a russian lawyer in question have been actions with from. when donald trump jr responded enthusiastically to the idea of receiving information that would be
9:26 am
harmful to hillary clinton i think that was a gift to russia it represented an attempt by. russia to have a base of influence. if your world. the news comes at a time when trump was in hamburg for an international summit where he had a meeting with vladimir putin and. what we may call you a lot of very positive things happening in washington for the united states and for everybody in the honor to be with you thank you thank you. immediately after this handshake the trunk camp has to do damage control over the new york times story they put out a statement saying the story was wrong. you know from air force one they were very very alarmed by it on the plane ride back to the united states is when the president and his team come cox this story about how the trump tower meeting was
9:27 am
about adoptions. flying back with his father trump jr sends an explanation to the press. at the meeting he says was merely about the adoption of russian children in the united states. so the $1000000.00 question with the trump tower meeting is what did the president know about it and when did his son tell and about the meeting at a time junior called his father and said hey we have this meeting coming up with some russian people that are offering us information and the president said great go for it let me know he's part of a conspiracy that is enough to bring someone into a conspiracy trump fights back. i came up with the term fake news it's a lot of fake news this is fake news put out by the media schooled fake news people back there you know those very dishonest people back there that these guys think crooked press they. thing. right.
9:28 am
back words have meaning and power and a lot of people myself included. good republicans we're going to go for pizza don't do that stunt do that call us the enemy of the people is just going too far the press is trying to report the facts as they see them and the president has decided that he would like to shoot the messenger. frank assessments the one thing about these bush fires usage really wipe them out all of the climate change informed opinions economy i think is actually what's keeping donald trump afloat right now critical debate sequel on both through school noise on him and his astonishment apart from times an in-depth analysis of the day's headlines this is the beginning of a new iraq of the new punches on a we are. against an ethnic sectarian kota inside story on al-jazeera. the

9:30 am
journey in search of india's soul on al-jazeera. i'm comfortable and on how the top stories on al-jazeera turkey's defense ministry says 4 tucker soldiers have been killed by syrian government shelling 9 others were wounded in the attack and the province turkey sent reinforcements to northern syria on sunday and softer it warned it could intervene against the government's offensive and i phone it's a sin name call has more from istanbul. and this is a curse because the 2000 round agreement has never happened yes 30 minutes reports have been harassed by the human government action in syria part to a group yes it's convoys have been attacked by the same groups before and currently repay allocated in the same care but it's easier today and this morning with
9:31 am
something different and let's not forget everything you happening this point that donna and approach the peace corps that was kind on the garnsey issue grafters ship of a russia and iran the number of people who have died from coronavirus in china has risen to at least 361 more than 17000 cases confirmed as that the government to severely restrict movement in a 2nd major city. chinese markets have plunged almost 9 percent upon reopening after the lunar new year holiday markets had been closed for the break that was extended over fears of the corona virus spreading china's central bank says it will inject one $173000000000.00 into the economy to help offset the economic impacts. and hong kong thousands of hospital workers have begun a 5 day strike in protest against the government's handling of the corona virus outbreak the demanding official shut all of hong kong's borders with mainland china to prevent the illness spreading senior staff including doctors and nurses say

9:33 am
this is the story set in one of the most powerful capitals in the world a political and judicial conflict. a battle that is pitted donald trump against
9:34 am
those. i believe he was an accomplice and brushes interference. did soon elling. cooperate with a hostile foreign power to take over the leadership of the state. this was the 1st time that a major covert action major clandestine action against the united states at the very heart of our democratic process at the text of. an october 2017 special counsel robert muller issues his 1st indictments against people close to the president. made up for trump's campaign director and gates deputy director of the campaign are both charged for breaking a series of laws papadopoulos foreign affairs advisor to the campaign is charged
9:35 am
for having lied to the f.b.i. . investigation and 0 d. and on his 1st targets to the. right here by the f.b.i. . see. a string is a for each. field a joining the topless line about his contacts with foreign nationals in a series of people in d.c. suddenly in deep deep trouble those charged by muller become fair game for the press even if they're not directly linked to the russian interference in the 2016 election. when the initial indictments were issued by miller people rightfully so wait a minute this is supposed to be about russia so what's going on and a lot of people have said none of this is collusion who cares why
9:36 am
a smaller charging these crimes if it's not. luzhin no clue no collusion there it just seems to be the focus no collusion no russian no nothing no police no good whatsoever present trumps reactions or that any time one of his colleagues or friends has been indicted or even pled guilty for him the litmus test of the bottom line is did they stab us if there was collusion between president trump and his inner circle and the russians and thus far that has not been charged publicly so that's what he's. claiming as a victory one thing that people i think really misunderstand about the american federal criminal justice system is just how much we rely on cooperating witnesses the defendants the people of being charged the people who have done something wrong have the option of cooperating why then would incriminate characters cooperate with the investigators it's all about leverage you have to charge someone with
9:37 am
a crime that you have the evidence on and then hope that that person is unwilling to take the risk of going to jail for a long time and instead decides to come in and cooperate in this drama between miller and the white house there's there's a lot of behind the scenes negotiation and strategy play it's very much a game as muller builds up his case his investigation suddenly faces a setback. we start with a new explosive information be key secure in the moment best to be removed from this job one of my trusted aides is discredited it's time efficiently impeach bush shows name is peter strong to the f.b.i. agent peter struck and struck the alleged mistress an f.b.i. and were named lisa page. the press publishes the text messages of peter struck and liza page. struck with
9:38 am
a trusted adviser a bomb all or transcripts of his messages show that he was for family anti trump. oh my god he's an idiot says struck. he's awful says page. i have no idea how destabilizing his presidency would be. struck was dismissed but the damage was done and congress presidents can't can now use strikes opinion to claim that the f.b.i. and the special counsel are politically tainted now the investigations into donald trump have been infected. with the virus of severe bias the pro trump media escalates the attack it denounces it as a conspiracy theory definition was weaponized to destroy a presidency who is underway right here some sort of subversion campaign for trump diehards the investigations that are closing in on the president are weapons
9:39 am
in the hands of an anti trumped deep state we've been hijacked by a deep state it is so dish it. father we pray for president trump yes lord give him extra calcium in his backbone yes god made his enemies confound his enemies alou not fall into their traps this we pray in the name of jesus hey man and you mistake you for watching 'd. the idea of the deep state is one of the dumbest ideas i've ever heard. there is no such thing as a deep state i have not seen that the state this is another made up conspiracy theory that there is a deep state out to get trump he's always looking for ways to blame his own problems on other people and this is another one totally false. but the deep state notion thrives. in congress
9:40 am
well the consensus over investigating the russian meddling withstand the pressure. there was a hope an expectation that congress as a bipartisan institution could get to the bottom of all this and we've been through it well enough at that and. the leader of the democrats in the house intelligence committee has to admit that there will be no consensus on the issue. last night the majority on the intelligence committee made the decision to prematurely shut down the russian best occasion the only authorized investigation in the house of representatives that was a terrible disservice to the country and the american people this is no way to run investigation it is only a way to go through the motions to give the pretense of trying to find the truth the truth that congress' failure to uncover the whole truth leads this task to only
9:41 am
one man robert mueller. on the 9th of april 2018. a new york attorney becomes the latest target of bob muller michael cohen donald trump's personal story michael cohen is donald trump's longtime friend the lawyer and fixer is this is the president and he has as the keys to the kingdom you know all the secrets about donald trump. cards with. the f.b.i. search going on. we're going to present reject type now he's in his stand bowl this is after syrian government shelling has killed 4 turkish soldiers in the province was directed through defenses. and warplanes this is for the sake of all our brothers and ad libbed. and i believe.

9:48 am
and utilize or eliminated. within one of these positions and as we said and we are plainly made it clear. that we're talking the syrian forces will talk to the genes of the syrian regime's forces simply because it was them who attacked our soldiers we cannot sit on our hands in response we will hold. all those responsible for the attack yeah on the turkish soldiers and as we speak yes. the air defenses and warplanes are carrying out their respective operations has. do you think. that you can any
9:49 am
any diplomatic talks with russia following this attack. the man with. the turkish foreign minister. to along with the chief of intelligence and defense minister. have already initiated diplomatic talks. and as you know the foreign minister and one or 2 days ago. had died in talks with the russians. however the desire would come is not achieved within this period of time. i myself well directly to talk to my russian counterpart. i will lay out his view on this particular
9:50 am
struggle. and as you know. that. our military commanders have x a presence that on views and. opinions on this particular operations on the border line with syria. and. with respect to the deal of the century and by drum. following which you. had some talks with president bass what do we expect and the near future. business but. with citizens back to. what
9:51 am
is called the deal of the century it is known to us it is not a deal for peace it is simply. of occupation and imperialism look at. what we extract it out of this is that among the. eye to ma is points on that there. is just that. palestine is marginally mentioned in the d.n.a. on one of the hymns and the cd is that the palestinian side must. be. within 4 or after 100 years i seem to says that's how mass marketed this.
9:52 am
