9:02 pm
intelligence. also, house speaker mike johnson, turning up at mar-a-lago with the house and reassessed ukraine funding in limbo, russian troops retaking territory in that country free and trump comparing himself to alexey navalny, we're keeping them honest. and later 11 year-old texas girl missing since he left for school. thursday has been found. the news though, is tragic and grass may be imminent we begin with the breaking news, which have allegations in a new court filing are true, suggests that russia is again tampering with a presidential election. indicted ex-fbi informing at the center of the house, republican biden probe saying that the made-up dirt he got on hunter biden came from russian intelligence. now, keep in mind this is the person who republicans have been using to largely justified their investigation into the biden family. details. now from cnn's evan perez, who starts us off tonight. so evan, explain this all stems from a new court filing from the special case counsel, david weiss what
9:03 pm
exactly is he saying about this informant and russian intelligence? >> well, anderson, this filing really raises the prospect that what this has all been about is a russian disinformation operation. and what they're saying is that alexander smirnoff, who is who was an fbi informant for about ten years that he received some of this information that he's been trafficking against hunter biden, against joe biden, that he got some of that information from russian intelligence that he's been associated with for a number of years. i'll read you just a part of what the filing says. this is a filing from david weiss to special counsel. he says that during his custodial interview, when you this arrested in las vegas last week, anderson smirnoff admitted that officials associated russian intelligence were involved in passing a story about hunter biden that's business person one who is identified there in the court filing. now the smirnoff is the guy who has been telling people since 2020 that there was this scheme by burisma,
9:04 pm
people associated with burisma, which is a ukrainian energy company, to pay bribes 5 million a piece to hunter biden and to joe biden in exchange for getting failed givers from the us government at the time, joe biden was vice president during the obama administration, according to the fbi, none of that is true. i understood. >> what do you as official say in the court filing about about how all this could relate to the 2024 election well, what they're saying is that this has as much to do with 2020 as 2024. i'll read you again, just a part of this filing. they say that smirnoff efforts to spread misinformation about a candidate of one of the two major major parties in the united states continues, they say the misinformation he is spreading is not confined to 2020, that he's actively pedaling new lies that could impact us elections after meeting with russian intelligence officials in november, they were arguing anderson that he should remain
9:05 pm
detained during the time that this case proceeds. he's facing two charges right now. one of them is a line to the fbi and the other is falsifying documents. >> and as it clear why the judge decided to release this guy, the judge said that despite the political ramifications, that's not really relevant to the detention of this of this defendant. so what he's done is he's agreed to release smirnoff with a couple of restrictions, including that he has to surrender his passport. he's got a us, an israeli passports. he is also going to have gps monitoring, but these charges anderson or in los angeles where he previously lived. david weiss, we should note, is bringing this case. he's also bringing to separate cases against hunter biden, one of them in los angeles on tax related issues, and another one in delaware for his possession of a firearm. so those cases are all now proceeding a pace at the same time.
9:06 pm
>> and is it clear when smirnoff when did the fbi figure out he was lying and because i mean, the eu said he's been he's been an agent of theirs or a source of there and informative there's for ten years or so. i mean, did they trust this guy? >> they did and look informants are like this, right? there's there's always there's always a little bit of a mass that comes with some of these informants because of who they are associated with. and the reason why they have what they are informants is that the fbi believes that they are associating with intelligence people overseas, and that they have information about its upon the fbi. it's incumbent upon the fbi and the justice department to assess these people to see what their stories are and whether they can believe them. and so the question anderson, tonight is for david weiss who certainly has had some of this information since 2020. and the fbi is what did they do to assess that to figure out whether what he was saying was
9:07 pm
bunk or whether it was true. and so according to the court documents, the fbi last year, as to to start taking a look at this so the question is, why did not happen earlier? certainly if you're joe biden and hunter biden and you've had to deal with these allegations for a couple of years. i think it's very, very important for them to understand why these lies were these, what the fbi says now, our lies, why they're allowed to live out there? for so long, anderson, a hunter, biden's legal team is now saying that this may have impacted the doing away with the plea agreement that they had riot, if you remember that court that courts proceeding last summer where the plea deal collapsed, one of the things that >> happened was a prosecutor said that they were still investigating hunter biden for foreign lobbying allegations. and what hunter biden's attorneys today said is that they believed that had to do with smirnoff is allegations.
9:08 pm
we don't know if that's exactly true. again, important questions for david weiss and his team to sort of answer. certainly in the next few months why that was the case. >> evan perez, thanks so much. now, as we mentioned, republicans have treated this informants allegations almost as fast. act and have used it to push their investigation into prison. biden and his family >> how real of a bribery scant joe biden bribery scandal allegation is this well, every day this bribery scandal becomes more credible, we already know the president took bribes from burisma, even a >> trusted fbi informant has alleged a bribe to the biden family. >> the most corroborating evidence we have is that 1023 form from this highly credible, confidential human source, according to us attorney scott brady jim jordan saying that was the most most important thing that they had. scott brady, who is a trump
9:09 pm
appointee, also said in his house interview that even though he corroborated some material from the informant, he did not determine whether the underlying biden bribery claims were true, and he acknowledged that his team never reviewed some key evidence so to undercut the bribery claims with us now is new york democratic congressman dan goldman, who served as democratic counsel during the former president's first impeachment inquiry first of all, congressman, what is your reaction this revelation from the special counsel, david wise? >> well, it's pretty shocking, and especially what it means that has been going on for the last four years, which is that wittingly or unwittingly, house republicans have been acting as an agent or an asset of russian intelligence for vladimir putin this whole burisma thing was debunked during the first impeachment investigation in 2019 by numerous, numerous witnesses, all of whom experts on ukraine and russia. and now this three, there's 1023 materializes from a purported conversation in 2020 that is
9:10 pm
treated as gospel by the republicans. and i would like to know whether or not senator grassley, who had a copy of this 1023 before the fbi ever gave it, or chairman comer or chairman jordan, all of whom were singing the praises of these. the information provided by this source had any idea whether or not it was completely bogus and was in fact a plant by russian intelligence, which has been trying to metal somewhat successfully in our elections since 2016. >> you're talking about a 1023 that's where there's information initially was reported in correct >> yes, it's a report of a interview that has a confidential human source. will provide to his handlers at the fbi to explain the conversations are the information that he has gathered the fbi then writes it down very meticulously, so they
9:11 pm
know exactly lee what he said, that 1023 is the only evidence. the only evidence that the republicans and the house as part of this impeachment inquiry have related to these burisma bribery allegations, and they push to get that information. chairman jordan oh, they they pushed incredibly hard. and chairman jordan and chairman comer have said that this is the best evidence they have of misconduct by president biden in fact, it is no evidence. it is just simply evidence that the republicans are willing to be used as assets of russian intelligence, just like donald trump was in 2016. and throughout his presidency when he went to a press conference in helsinki and chose vladimir putin's word over his own intelligence community. that is who we are dealing with. it is now a pervasive disease that has gone through the entire republican
9:12 pm
party and it needs to be excised immediately. >> so what do you see happening now? i mean, do you think any of this will actually cause republicans to abandon the impeachment inquiry because comer, the chairman indicated in an interview last week that the house may not actually hold a vote to impeach the president after his committee releases its report because quote, the math keeps getting worse well, look before this revelation that the one source, the one person with information >> related to burisma in any bribery happens to be completely fabricated. and as a russian intelligence scheme this, this investigation was going nowhere. it was being debunked right, left, and center by every single witness that had come in. it was almost laughable at this point that it was still an ongoing investigation. now, this should put the nail on the coffin because not only is there no evidence of any wrongdoing by president biden, but it now appears as if the house republican majority is being
9:13 pm
used by russia to interfere in the 2024 election on behalf of donald trump if they continue with this investigation, they are simply doing the work of vladimir putin to help donald trump win an election in november. that's where we are. it is >> extraordinary when you think about how much oxygen this has taken up via republicans in the house on fox news and other right-wing media outlets and radio channels. i mean, it's extraordinary >> it's shocking and it is for me, especially because i led the investigation in 2019 in the first impeachment, and i had all of these state department witnesses, the national security council officials, all russian ukrainian experts coming in and saying, actually what joe biden did, it encouraging the prosecutor, encouraging ukraine rather to fire the prosecutor general was bad for burisma, the company whose board his son
9:14 pm
was on, because that prosecutor general was not investigating corruption. and in fact, after he left in the next one came in, they then did start investigating burisma. this has been debunked for years and the fact that it now is the linchpin of this impeachment investigation based on a completely bogus lie funneled through a confidential source by russian intelligence. it tells you the real danger that our congress is in right now, having been held captive by donald trump and now operating at the behest of russian intelligence and vladimir putin, it's incredible. >> and congressman goldman. thank you perspective now from two cnn analyst and former cia chief of russia operations, steve hall and carrie cordero, former counsel the assistant attorney general for national security steve, i mean, do smirnoff is claims about russian intelligence sound plausible to you? and how could this guy who seems to have had
9:15 pm
recent contact with russian intelligence and still peddling misinformation been a source for the fbi for ten some years >> while i to answer the first part of your question. absolutely. this is this is very standard for the russian intelligence services when they're running disinformation operations, active measures, types of things. i think the russian intelligence services and the kremlin have long viewed hunter biden as a in president biden's armor and somewhat some methodology by which they can, they can get it him and weaken him. and of course, if you're vladimir putin, despite what he has said publicly, who would you prefer the guy who says, let's let russia do whatever the hell it wants in europe or do you want the guy who says, let's send more arms to ukraine? it's pretty clear what the answer is. so yeah, this is extremely consistent i'd be very curious to know how this confidential informant, smirnoff actually got into contact with the fbi? i don't know if we'll find out, but if he volunteered himself, if he came to them and said i can help you with this. that's another hallmark of russian operations where they'll pick
9:16 pm
somebody and say, hey, go to the fbi or go to this order? we're going to station tell him that you have information than we've got them on the hook. so yeah, this is all very, very consistent with how the russian intelligence services do business. >> so kari smirnoff has been charged with lying to the fbi and creating false records. how would prosecutors trying to verify his claims now about getting information from russian intelligence? officials >> well, that would be the job of the fbi throughout the course of working with him. i mean, it is striking that the court filings say that he was a confidential informant going back at least to 2010. so from an investigative standpoint on the national security side of the house and counterintelligen ce side of the house. there's a lot of work that either has been going on or still needs to be done to find out how far back he was providing false information to the fbi. what one of the things that's striking to me in the detention filing is that it says just
9:17 pm
reason recently, he was in touch with his russian intelligence contacts and sort of the exasperated nature that the justice department appears to be in in the filing where it says, if he's released, he will potentially be spirited away by his russian intelligence contacts with $6 million on, hand seems to me that his duplicity is something that was more recently revealed. >> yeah. and so then switching from the so lifting from the legal side to the political side, following up just from congressman goldman's comments a big question for me, anderson is when did the fbi and the doj tell members of congress that they understood him to be lying over a long period of time. >> yeah. i see. we noted earlier that this guy smirnoff, allegedly told investigators it receives in contact with code top russian officials who were quote, the heads of the entities they represent what does that signal about the scale of this alleged
9:18 pm
disinformation effort? and would it require vladimir putin's approval? and why would this guy now? be admitting that he was peddling false information >> while it could be that he's admitting it because the fbi is putting the screws to him in terms of you got to do this or there's gonna be no deals for you. we're going to throw you in jail for a long time. >> carries absolutely right. this confidential informant thing is tough. we just don't know how to manage these people. sometimes it's difficult to vet them. the fbi clearly had problems with this one but yeah, this is a really interesting store and i don't think we've heard the end of it until we find out more about this individual as a person. and when he started cooperating with the bureau, carry doesn't make sense. >> the judge >> let this guy i go today >> i think it's a little bit surprising. i mean the statement in the detention filing was pretty clear that the fbi was really concerned about him being released. so i need to know more about the conditions of his release maybe evan reported earlier that they'd put a gps so they're
9:19 pm
they're relying on their ability to track him. there's also a possibility that they would also have to back that up with physical surveillance to make sure that he doesn't disappear. >> carrie cordero, steve hall. thank you. that breaking news on russian intelligence comes as house speaker mike johnson, who said we should be quote, united, unquote against putin, had time for a holiday. schotte with a former president mar-a-lago, but not a vote on aid to ukraine where keeping them honest. next, plus the death of russian dissident alexey navalny announced last friday, four days later. now his family still not allowed to claim the body of the latest on that mr. in a live report from moscow go and later the search for missing girl ending tragically, police have identified a suspect stopped for news about sling tv has the same news programming you love starting at $40 a month. it's the same news programming you love starting at $40 a month. that's what i just said. >> right? it's less >> starting at $40 a month

9:24 pm
with no viable replacement according to one republican lawmaker who told cnn, i quote, if there is a mike johnson plan, there aren't any house republicans we're aware of its existence. johnson second move was to tell everyone to take the next two weeks off. tonight. we know that his third step was a pilgrimage to the man who doesn't want him to pass any important legislation. if it helps president biden or apparently hurts putin the man whose own message yesterday about the death and perhaps murder of navalny. we're short on condolence long and a personal grievance and did not even mentioned vladimir putin by name. a mixed and grotesque message he repeated in a pre-taped south carolina town hall, which aired tonight. >> navalny use a very sad situation and he's very brave. it was a very brave guy because he went back he could to stay away. and frankly probably would have been a lot better off staying away and talking from outside of the country as opposed to having to go back. and it's horrible thing. but it's happening in our country to we are turning into a communist country in many ways.
9:25 pm
and if you look at it, i'm the leading candidate. i get into i never heard of being indicted before i was going i got indicted four times. i have eight or nine trials all because of the fact that, you know this all because of the fact that i'm in politics, he's equating himself of alexey navalny and his supporters are going even further. former house speaker newt gingrich tweeting, quote, watched the biden administration speak out against putin and his jailing of his leading political opponent. while democrats in four different jurisdictions tried to turn president trump into an american navalny, except as speaker gingrich should know the american navalny as he puts it, has already benefited from extensive and lengthy due process overseen by nonpartisan judges. and the verdicts in his criminal trials. if and when they go to trial or by no means preordained and as they all grind their way through as many motions and appeals as millions of dollars in legal fees can buy. >> the >> defendant has flying around the country on his own private airline or under secret service protection is air travel on bothered by anything like being
9:26 pm
poisoned with nerve agents? which is of course what happened to alexei navalny at the hands of russian agents and as all of this moral and historical inversion is happening, president biden says he'll be announcing additional sanctions on russia on friday in response, the real navalny's death. as for putin, according to russian state media has officials have filed charges against navaly's younger brother and added him to russia's wanted list. and a russian military defector was shot and killed in spain under suspicious circumstances. joining us now, cnn political commentator jonah goldberg has recent column in the los angeles times. it's titled know donald trump does not equal alexey navalny all so jonah in your piece, you write up this absurd trump navalny comparison quote, condemning such false moral equivalents was one central to american conservatism i mean, i know how it came to this, but it's incredible >> yeah, it's it's, it's kind of maddening. you feel like you're taking crazy pills. i grew up in the conservative movement. i was at national review for 20 years pat
9:27 pm
buchanan came to my breasts. so i've been around in the conservative movement for awhile. and this was one of the load star arguments of the american right. the patriotic american right, the sensible american right, that just because the soviet union or communist china or whatever, i had a big military and we had to build military that didn't mean we were morally equivalent to false moral equivalents. argument was that the cornerstone of the reagan administration was cornerstone of gene crew patrick's work is the cornerstone of william f. buckley is worldview. >> and now you >> have this just unbelievably glib asinine effort to do this it's you have to be too stupid to be a spell checker, an m&m factory, to think that donald trump is an american navalny i knew goldberg ridge. i mean, you know, who was like hakan videos to make money on. i don't know the muslim takeover america or something years ago is now switched to, i guess he's full-on maga i mean he
9:28 pm
knows better i like to think. some of these people know better, but that's not really i, when i say like to think i'm not sure that's the right phrase because i don't know that that's exculpatory, right. meaning they know better than they're just grotesquely lying. and look, i don't mind throwing rocks at joe biden. i don't i think calling him the equivalent of vladimir putin. it is profoundly stupid and slanderous towards him. but the more important point for me at least is that it's profoundly slanderous against the united states of america during, during the bush presidency, the people there are constant attempts on the left to make bush into some sort of dictator. and i would always point out, look, if he was actually the dictator, you thank he is. you wouldn't be allowed to say the things about them that you're saying. >> if >> trump were the actual navalny, he will not have just concluded an hour on primetime television on another network. >> he would be dragged off and beaten to death or poisoned or thrown into jail. >> it's just it's gaslighting
9:29 pm
more than anything else. >> it is remarkable to when we have correspondent i talked to nick paton walsh on the program last night in kherson and actually seeing the lack of ammunition, a view for ukrainian troops actually leading to deaths of ukrainians and ukrainian troops pulling out of regions and russians taking over regions. i mean, all of this has consequences >> oh, for sure. and, you know, earlier you said i just want to correct one to disagree a little bit with one thing you said earlier, you said that johnson is down there and he won't do anything that helps joe biden because trump will let him i agree that trump won't let them. i agree that what johnson is doing is craven an and shameful. the thing is, i think trump doesn't understand his own political interests very well. it probably would have been better if the republicans had been able to get that thing pat that that big compromise on the border and aid passed because
9:30 pm
that it would put all the pressure on joe biden and if joe biden did what republicans wanted them to do then they can say see we made them do it. and if he didn't do it, they say see, he doesn't want he's not willing to do what america needs. both scenarios would have been better for republicans, but trump doesn't understand his own political interests sometimes, and he just has this blanket thing we're now if ukraine falls, if the border goes terrible he gets blamed for it because he's the one who stopped republicans from doing the right public policy from doing the right, the right thing politically. it's just also asinine because the entire party refuses to stand up to trump, even when it would be in trump's own self-interest. because they've all just sold their manhood cheap. it's just mortifying >> yeah. jonah goldberg. thank you very much. i appreciate it. >> coming up next, where is >> the body of alexei navalny, why authorities handed over to his family? matthew chance is in moscow tonight with the latest that's next when to
