russia investigation. the top official dan coats set to testify today amid washington post reporting that president trump asked coats to intervene and get the fbi to back off michael flynn two days after then fbi director comey confirmed the bureau investigation into the collusion of the trump campaign and russia. this after cnn reported last month that president trump asked coats to publicly deny the existence of evidence supporting the probe. a conversation that he declined to comment about last month. >> i don't feel it is appropriate to characterize the discussions. >> reporter: coats is one of four officials set to face a grilling today over the encounters with president trump. including rod rosenstein who will answer questions publicly for the first time about the circumstances surrounding the letter he wrote about comey's firing.

the decision to oust comey on rosenstein's letter before conceding he had been contemplating it for weeks over the russia investigation. >> he made the recommendation. regardless of the wreck m recommendation, i was going to fire him. >> i wish him well. >> reporter: comey did not actually reveal to sessions that the president pressured him to drop the flynn investigation. that's because according to the new york times, comey didn't know who he could trust inside the justice department. chris. >> thank you, jessica. we will get the rest of the segment together and show it to you. now to escalating tensions with president trump and attorney general. a source close to jeff sessions said the two men had heated exchange was the attorney general offering to resign. this as the white house will not

say if the president has confidence in one of his oldest supporters. cnn's joe johns live at the white house with more. do you remember the heat that jeff sessions took coming out for trump in the campaign? >> reporter: it was tremendous heat at the very beginning. he was right there. on the eve, chris, of jim comey's testimony, the picture that is emerging is a president remained furious after losing control of the russia investigation. it happened when one of his most fervent supporters, attorney general, hand picked attorney general, removed himself from the process. setting off a chain reaction that led to the appointment of the special prosecutor. amid a series of heated exchange in recent weeks within president trump and jeff sessions, sources tell cnn, the president's long time ally threatened to resign.

>> how would you describe the confidence level? >> reporter: press secretary sean spicer declining to answer when asked on tuesday. >> i have not had discussion with him about that. >> you said that there was development. >> i'm answering a question which is i have not had that discussion with him. >> reporter: the white house still has not clarified the president's position. one official telling cnn they wanted to avoid giving a definitive answer. the president frequently contradicted his aides in the past. a justice department spokeswoman telling cnn sessions is not stepping down. >> i have recused myself in the matters that deal with the trump campaign. >> reporter: tensions between the two men have been brewing since sessions announced he would step aside from any russia investigation in march. after failing to disclose two meetings with the russian ambassador. >> i did not have communications with the russians. >> reporter: trump was furious with the recuse al believing it

triggered a chain of events leading to the appointment of robert mueller last month. the anger on display this week when he slammed the justice department for watering down his original travel ban. something the president had to approve. sources say trump would not accept a resignation from jeff sessions. there could be difficulties finding replacement and backlash. in the short-term, if sessions were to leave, he would be replaced by the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein who by the way is a person who appointed the special counsel. chris and alvarengisyn. >> thank you, joe. we have a lot to discuss. let's bring in the panel. we have analyst maggie haberman and jon avlon and chris

cillizza. dan coats is going to testify in front of the committee. the washington post reports that he, too, was asked by the president to intervene somehow in the michael flynn investigation. he was asked to have then director comey back off. what if he says this in his public hearing? >> this reporting does corroborate comey. it take the he-said-he said to him. dan coats has credibility as does james comey. the problem the white house has, they just don't have a credibility gap, but it is looking like the grand canyon. if coats corroborates comey, that a problem for the white house. >> maggie, coats comes in in prelude to comey tomorrow.

how do you see this as political fallout over legal fallout? >> i'm less clear how coats will handle it under the guise of sur fa surveillance hearings. i think comey will not talk about russia specifically. things that may overlap with the special counsel robert mueller is looking into. i think comey as i understand it and we have to wait and see, but if the reports are correct, he will say, number one, that he did not tell the president three times the president was not under investigation. i'm curious to hear what he says about that. the president has hung his hat on that repeatedly. he will say he felt some level of discomfort with the president as related to whether to continue this investigation. i think that is completely consistent. i think jon's point is right. when you have someone like dan coats who has credibility with

the group of people and honest broker. the white house is big on saying fake news. this is not telling the truth. these are democrats. et scetera, et cetera. everybody is not part of conspiracy. >> chris, so people can follow along, let's put on the screen what we cobbled together with comey and what he is expected to say and not say. as maggie said, he will dispute president trump's interpretation he was not the target of any investigation three times. there are nuances to that conversation that comey can expound on. he will not conclude whether trump obstructed justice. he will be a fact witness as we called it. not drawing conclusions. he won't be constrained in discussing trumgz. unknown if he will read from his

memos or hand them over. can you imagine, chris cillizza, a dramatic reading? >> normally i would say that is the tough of ficti on. look, i think the most important thing is that the memos we know they exist and comey has them and they are contemporaneous accounts and robert mueller will see them. the public hearing is in some ways theater. the most important thing to donald trump's presidency is that special counsel. that mueller investigation. comey obviously plays a large role in that. those memos are difficult and you add coats. a guy in the senate two times. a guy whom donald trump picked. this is not schumer. this is not haters. i think it is problematic. look. just at the most basic level, if

jim comey says tomorrow i never told the president he was under investigation. we have three options. donald trump lied. donald trump badly misunderstood something or james comey is lying. two of the three are not very good for trump. the third is while a group of people who support donald trump who believe that, seems a little bit implausible. >> a lot of this will be a function of spin coming out of this hearing tomorrow, there is a fourth option. here's what it is, jon. yeah, it is what we think is going to happen, but it is not a strong enough declaration of wrongdoing to really change the equation for the main investigation. that is did i tell him he wasn't under investigation?

no. it was more nuanced than that as jake tapper are reporting that sources are indicating. he may have taken that, but that is not how i intended it. that's not enough to really run down the president on any level. the other one where it can happen. he told you to back off. made you uncomfortable. so uncomfortable, i put it in a memo. so much i asked not to be left alone. the democrat says i have no more questions. the republican gets up, you were uncomfortable? you told no one? you wrote it in your diary? you never did anything? did you mention it? and when we asked if you anybody impeded? did you feel under pressure. where does it leave you? >> first of all, a tony for on-air performance. >> i was thinking about that a lot. >> that was a very strong

one-act play. that was excellent. >> did you ordinaer the code re? d damn i did. >> obviously there is spin on both sides. tomorrow transcendins theater. comey is aware of what he can say that won't go into compromising an investigation. because it will be live in public, that becomes an indelible marker the public can hang their hat on. the spin aside you will have his statements and more accumulation of evidence. whether or not he offers a smoking gun or constrained in a way that could jump the guardrails on this. the white house ability to start to spin as they reflectixively . you have to think this is a

conspiracy and conspiracy of truth. >> maggie, tomorrow's hearing is appointment viewing and today. we all said. >> what chris just did was appointment viewing. don't leave that out. >> indeed. award winning. >> that's what i do at 6:10 a.m. >> i appreciate it. it is hard to recreate that. feel free to take a page from that. tomorrow is comey. today, rod rosenstein. dan coats. top intel chiefs. what are you watching? >> in terms of coats, i watch for exactly what he says. he will face pressure about what happened and feelings were about the president and what transpir transpired. you will see something similar with rod rosenstein. we have a purpose of the hearing. it will probably go in a bit of an off-ramp in the current events. in terms of rosenstein. it is complicated. rosenstein will get pressed

further about previous answers he has given about the firing of james comey. he will get pushed about jeff sessions and what he is aware of in terms of turmoil at the department and sense of frustration that jeff sessions has had that we reported on with the president. you know, that all leads to tomorrow. john is right. what we have had to this point is a president who, if we are being clear here, this president has a history of saying something is not true when it is. he said all of this is not true. we have had sourced accounts in news reports of what comey has supposedly said. there will be a lot of power in his words. i don't know it will impact the investigation. i don't know it will substantially impact the investigation. right now, what is playing out is a credibility issue nationally. i think it will have impact. >> something that will be under the radar today and interesting in a fisa hearing. foreign intelligence

surveillance act. you will hear discussion today where the wiretapping claim is coming up on the democrats side and you hear the top intel chiefs to say how high the bar is to get the warrant. cillizza, does the game change after tomorrow? >> so i think the answer is yes at one level. which is i do think james comey -- i take your points, chris, we may not get the smoking gun. we may not get -- it was mr. blue in the green room or whatever. >> with the candlecandlestick. >> right. maggie and john make the point. there is an issue with the american public's mind. i know when maggie sourced something. the average person is skeptical. you have james comey saying i

was in a meeting with donald trump. yes, it made yes uncomfortable. no, i did not tell him he was under investigation. why did donald trump think that? i don't know. i think that maertstters. also, remember, what you are seeing play out publicly is the tip of the iceberg here. it matters, but only in terms of public opinion. the mueller investigation and less so, but still true, the senate and house investigations. that's where the rubber meets the road in a meaningful way for the trump presidency. that i'm not sure how much is impacted. tomorrow, my guess is mueller knows everything comey will say. >> panel, thank you very much for previewing all this with us. >> all maggie has to do is give me the look and i know she's right. there it is. >> i know that look. >> that's all you need. we have to change the rundown. maggie gave me the look. >> 6:15. that is the look.

>> you all look great. thank you for being with us. tomorrow's testimony any way you look at it is must-see tv. "new day" is getting in 5:00 a.m. eastern. we start with the best reporters in the business. the special coverage will begin at 9:00. an hour before comey breaks his silence. 10:00 a.m. eastern. heated exchange reported between president trump and jeff sessions. does the president still have confidence in his attorney general? that would seem to be an easy question to answer, but not so much for the white house. we'll discuss. i'm ryan and i quit smoking with chantix. i tried to quit cold turkey. i tried to quit with the patch; that didn't work. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. for me, chantix worked. it reduced my urge to smoke.

compared to the nicotine patch, chantix helped significantly more people quit smoking. when you try to quit smoking, with or without chantix, you may have nicotine withdrawal symptoms. some people had changes in behavior or thinking, aggression, hostility, agitation, depressed mood or suicidal thoughts or actions with chantix. serious side effects may include seizures, new or worse heart or blood vessel problems, sleepwalking or allergic and skin reactions which can be life-threatening. stop chantix and get help right away if you have any of these. tell your healthcare provider if you've had depression or other mental health problems. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. the most common side effect is nausea. i'm so proud to be a non-smoker. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. many insurance plans cover chantix for a low or $0 copay.

growing tensions with president trump and attorney general jeff sessions. this would be unbelievable months ago, but a source close to sessions says one point the attorney general actually offered to resign because of the series of heated exchanges with the president. then, sean spicer asked the direct question. does the president have confidence in sessions? what does he say? i haven't had that conversation yet. let's bring back the panel. magg

maggie haberman and john avlon and chris cillizza. that is the common phrase. haven't talked to him about it. it is highly indicative of a message from the white house. that is? >> it is two messages. we have to assume a claim no knowledge of conversation is now what passes for an answer from the briefing room podium which is a different point. be peter baker and i reported monday night that the president has grown frustrated with jeff sessions. complaining about him privately. it dates back one to the travel ban that wasn't a ban and now is a ban again. it has been blocked in the courts. the president despite the fact it was an executive order he signed and blaming the department of justice in terms of how this is played out and defense of it. this goes back to when jeff sessions recused himself from

russia-related probes. coming on the heels of a report in the washington post that sessions had not revealed during the conversation hearing to become attorney general he had at least one meeting and might have been multiple with the ambassador from russia. sessions did what any legal expert including attorney chris cuomo in the previous block, i suspect would say is wise. recuse yourself. you may become a witness. the president felt blind sided. he learned about it from a reporter at an event. he hates feeling he is not in control as we know. it has led to this series of chain reactive self destructive behavior starting with the wiretap tweet and moving on to what we have seen since. >> john, why would the president say this about sessions? >> this hyperactive court

intrigue is not remotely normal. here we are months into an administration. it is stunning to hear the press secretary basically no comment whether the president has confidence in the attorney general. especially the earliest and strongest supporter. that is having your legs cut out from under you. whatever context he is upset by. recusing yourself may not give president trump comfort, but it was designed to give the american people comfort. this is all snowballing in real-time. you see the president's petulant tweets. if his allies are nervous. that speaks volumes in the white house. >> chris cillizza, do you see tensions different than typical president trump being at odds with dot, dot, dot.

>> not really. it is all born of the same thing. he is mercurial. when things go wrong, he looks for people to blame. it is who he has been much of his life. i don't want to speak for donald trump at 25, but at 70, donald trump is not changing. the other thing i note. sessions i think committed the one unforgivable sin in donald trump's eyes. he admitted he had done something wrong. he conceded in recusing himself he conceded that he had not done everything right and trump doesn't believe in that. he believes you don't concede anything. you always claim victory and move on. trump as maggie points out that trump believes it is revisionist history. donald trump believes everything that gets you to robert mueller sprung from jeff sessions

willness to concede. if he had never been willing, i will step out of the investigation. you never get robert mueller. in donald trump's mind, a straight line between those things. if you follow it backwards, it leads to jeff sessions. >> the advice donald trump holds close. never apologize. always attack. let's not forget it comes from the wise counsel of roy cohen. if jeff sessions is trying to be decent and have degree of dec decorum and he violates the rules, that is the problem we have to confront directly. >> that is the real thing. john just hit on what is a really key thing that explains a good 53% what we see from the white house on a daily basis. we understand where the president is coming from in the sense we know he follows these

rules. especially those of us like john and me and chris who follow trump in new york for a long time. then you have the government. which people expect to run differently. there has been a huge problem in the white house. not uniformly. not everybody. a lot of really good people working there who try hard to end up getting swept in under a giant rug. people all act as if all is well. just because there is one person there they don't speak for the administration or you can ignore that person. this is just how the president is. you just can't say that over and over again. the world doesn't necessarily care. that is what donald trump is running into. >> chris, there was a cardinal sin you neglected to mention being more famous. jared kushner is butting up against that. >> yes. i saw it yesterday. i think it is such a fascinating

window. >> let's watch the sound. they have the parallel over time of what he said about comey. here it is. >> jared actually has become more famous than me. i'm a little bit upset about that. >> oh, he's become more famous than me. >> the kiss of death. >> no one's really laughing. that laugh is so forced. oh, no. look, alisyn, i was so fascinated by this. amid all of the news from cnn and maggie and the times and the post last night, it slipped my mind. i think that clip with jared is so telling as it relates to comey and how donald trump thinks. which is everything is graded on -- he has a running list in

his head of fame and notoriety. that is how he grades everything. everything is who is up. who is down. who is doing well. who is getting buzz. who's not. who is causing me problems. it is not really a merit-based system. it is a fame notoriety based world. that is how he sees things. i think the political reporters who made their chops in new york were tremendously valued. they are more valued now because they understand that's who donald trump has been his life. >> panel, thank you for all of those fascinating insights. up next, a cnn exclusive. russian hackers suspected of planting fake news that is now fuelling the crisis in the middle east among america's closest allies. the fbi is on the case. we have a live report from qatar next.

at crowne plaza we know business travel isn't just business. there's this. 'a bit of this. why not? your hotel should make it easy to do all the things you do. which is what we do. crowne plaza. we're all business, mostly.

we have breaking news from iran. twin bombings and a shooting in the capital of tehran. iran's state media reports the attacks have killed 7 people and injured 35. this is the scene outside of iran's parliament building. state media reports that a suicide bomber sdetonated explosives inside the building. we are told there are hostages. it is unclear if it is still ongoing. look at this image. this is a manilowering a child from window in the parliament building among evacuations. this incident unfolding the same time as a bomb attack at the khomeini shrine south of tehran. now to the concerns that russia is trying to create rifts

with the u.s. and closest gulf allies. after russian hackers planted a fake news report with qatar news agency that spurred a new middle east crisis. cnn is in doha, kwqatar. what do we know? >> reporter: chris, the qatari state news agency had the story coming out quoting the ruler of qatar where he was critical of neighboring countries like saudi arabia and praising iran and islamic power and critical of the united states and saying president trump would not last in office. at time, we heard from qatar officials saying the agency had been hacked. what we are learning in the cnn reporting by the colleagues in washington is that u.s. investigators believe it was russian hackers who planted this fake story on the state news

agency's web site. now we don't know if the hackers belong to the government organization in russia or criminal organization. what they know is they believe the intent of this was to create a rift with the u.s. allies in the region. despite the tweets we saw from president trump yesterday speaking out against qatar, we also learned the fbi sent a team here to help the qatari s in th investigation. alisyn. >> jomana, thank you so much for okay the scene. the tweets may reflect. >> president trump is taking credit for the saudi arabia decision to isolate qatar. that is not how his national security team sees it. we have tony blanken telling us what is going on.

usaa gives me the and the security just like the marines did. the process through usaa is so effortless, that you feel like you're a part of the family. i love that i can pass the membership to my children. we're the williams family, and we're usaa members for life.

there's nothing more than my vacation.me so when i need to book a hotel room, i want someone that makes it easy to find what i want. booking.com gets it. they offer free cancellation if my plans change. visit booking.com. booking.yeah.

we have a cnn exclusive to tell you about. u.s. investigators believe that russian hackers may have planted a fake news story on qatar's

state news agency that likely fueled the region into diplomatic crisis. that crisis donald trump has asserted himself into. joining us is tony blanken. all of this is a fake news story planted maybe realigning the arab states in the middle east? >> it looks like it may be that way. a lo a long running feud with the gulf states with saudi arabia and gulf states and egypt and c qatar. they see qatar too close to iran and hamas. also playing above the weight. >> also if it is a fake news story, it reinforces that. qatar is saying positive things about iran. then that spark that ignites this? >> apparently that's what happened. we have seen president trump's visit with the saudis.

that may give them a sense of cover to take on qatar in the instance. the real problem is this. the president inserted himself in the feud with qatar. >> let me show you how he has done that. these were yesterday's tweets. the president said during my recent trip to the middle east, i state there had could not be funding to ideology. they leaders point to qatar. and the king and 50 countries paying off. they will take a hard line on funding. part three. extremism and references pointing to qatar. in other words, he is suggesting that his visit did shift the stance. >> he is. there is a little bit of a tweet first ask questions later problem. the president is doing this, other members of the administration, secretary of state, secretary of defense, are trying to calm the waters. trying to avoid it.

we have one of the largest military air bases in qatar. that base is critical. planes are flying out of there every day. >> how many of our service people? >> 11,000 coalition forces, including a lot of americans. qatar wants to preserve that as well as u.s. we tried to stay out of the fight. we tried to mediate. >> we are allied with both of them. >> precisely. on the one hand, the president is saying qatar played a little loose in the past especially with terrorist financing. the president is not wrong on that. we tried to do this quietly. the ambassador said qatar is making progress in cutting down on terrorist financing. going after people. prosecuting them. putting in bank controls. while she is saying that and the president is tweeting something different. that creates a sense we are not coordinated. >> what does it leave snus. >> us? >> it looks like the president

is trying to calm things down. >> how? >> he came out and smopoke to kg salman. we need to be unified. having roiled the waters, maybe we can calm them. there is breaking news unfolding on terrorism. there is an apparent terrorist attack in tehran. seven people killed. 35 have been injured. that's the latest numbers. some explosion at parliament. evacuations. we heard reports of hostages. we heard reports of an apparent suicide bomber. near the khomeini memorial. iran? >> not the first thing that comes to mind. two things, there have been terrorist attacks from minority groups that are repressed and opposition groups. opposition the regime. it is rare. doesn't happen often, but in the past. >> if isis is taking

responsibility, we don't have that confirmed. that is a peculiar target? >> it is possible. it would not be the first target. not the first place they look. in fact, the predecessor to isis, al qaeda, in feeffect, ha leadership in iran. iran bought them off by allowing them to stay there sometimes under house arrest. it is a way for iran to stay out of it. if that is what is going on, that is an interesting development. it could be an internal group or minority group taking action. >> tony blinken, thank you. chris. another developing story. the that-year-o25-year-old nsa charged with leaking information to the media. her parents are worried. is the trump administration making an example out of this?

her lawyer joins us next.

if she did what she's

accused of, i know she's ready to pay the price. i know she will do whatever she needs to do to pay that price. our fear, my biggest fear in all of this is that she's not going to get a fair trial. she will not be treated fairly. she will be made an example of and that's my biggest fear. >> those are the parents of reality winner, the 25-year-old nsa contractor, accused of leaking confidential information to the media. it was sent to the news media about the russian meddling in the election. her attorney is joining us. >> thank you for having me, chris. >> do you and your client believe it? >> i think the important thing to remember is we are at the beginning stages. we cannot get into the merits of the case. we will be prepared for the next

hearing on thursday. it will be in regards to the judge to allow her to be released pre-trial. >> well, we'll talk about that in a second. while we must respect the concern of parents, 25 years old. very much an adult, but their child. i get their concern. the facts as laid out in early reports here seem pretty clear about the action and intention and potential admission of guilt by your client. >> another thing to remember is that we don't have the facts yet. all we have is a press release that the don't epartment of jus issued on monday. there are so-called documents on the internet. the best thing is to see what happens in the court proceedings. >> of course, have justice is

fairness under the law. if it is true you want to be confronted by officials, i did this. it was a crime of conviction. what else do you need to know? >> the important thing is don't rush into deciding what is true or not true. the important thing is making sure she receives a fair trial. facts going to the jury and the jury decides what is and is not true. >> you take it through trial although it may compromise the sentence deal if you get than if you make a deal earlier. >> my job is to advocate zelously for my client. at this stage, we are taking it one court propceeding at a time >> to get a response to the question. do you deny the reports that she admitted she did this? >> it is premature for us to comment on anything of merits of the case. we are focusing on being prepared for the case and doing what is in the best interest of

ms. winner. >> did she say she admitted it or no? >> there are things i think i may know, but we are still involved in the case. it is speculative for me to say this is a fact and that is a fact. all i know is we are preparing for the next hearing and we will give her the best defense possible. >> in terms of why she should be held versus released. what is your argument why she should not be in custody especially with the facts which seem to be clear at this stage. >> the arguments in align with the federal statute in regards to pre-trial release. the judge will hear she will not be at risk of flight or at risk of federal crime. it is up to the judge to make the decision if she should be released pre-trial and if there would be conditions on her release. >> what are you asking? >> i'm asking she be released

pre-trial to help aid in her defense. >> what about being a flight risk? >> i think it is already mentioned that her passport was confiscated by law enforcement. with the worldwide media attention, there is little to no chance of her going anywhere without being recognized. >> what is known is her own doing. the tweets have come out. the account of a different name. same picture. it seems clearly to be hers. she had an obvious political issue toward the president. what role do you think the tweets will play in the reckoning of the facts of her case? >> the federal rules of evidence are strict for which documents or social media pages can come in trial. we can talk about them all day long on television. when it comes to the court proceeding, that is a different matter. for a better idea of who she is, her parents have done a

phenomenal job of who she is as a person. not just the figure in the span of a week. >> understood. parents have a positive image of their child. especially in a case. what is your thoughts on the tweets? >> it is not a matter of what i believe the audience should know. if we come to trial, we will fall in line with the federal rules of evidence of what is and is not admissible. >> we certainly have seen statements of intent from sources. tweets are not beyond that level of recognition of the court. i'm asking these questions lawyer to lawyer. you have parallel situations of scrutiny going on here. you have the court of law. you have the court of public opinion. >> absolutely. the best thing i can do is not be distracted by political statements or social media statements and focus on the law. specifically the statute. 18 usc 793e. the government has the burden of

proofing beyond a reasonable doubt. that is my focus. >> understood. the burden is on the government. thank you for coming on to make arguments as you see fit. thank you for coming on "new day." >> thank you. >> alisyn. washington is watching two blockbuster hearings. senators are set to grill two officials today. that is before james comey breaks his silence. how will president trump respond? we have it all covered for you next. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ tango! for the guy who finds a way. always unstoppable.
