12:00 pm
there's no way he walked. he had injuries to both upper legs. you do that with being that busted up, no better word, it's amazing. >> rescuers say they have never seen anything like it. here's shep. >> shepard: it's noon on the west coast, 3:00 in washington. we're waiting to hear from the other intelligence chief whom president trump reportedly pressured to publicly clear his name in the russia investigation. the national security agency director mike rogers set to testify in this hour. the director of national intelligence has already responded to the report. and the former cia director told congress he was concerned that the russians may have recruited members of the trump campaign to influence our presidential election. we're live on capitol hill. it's 8:00 p.m. in manchester, england where our news teams are learning about more of the young victims and the bomber behind the u.k.'s worst terror attack in a decade.
12:01 pm
isis has claimed responsibility. did it have involvement? did it have influence? president trump are calling the terrorists evil losers. let's get to it. >> two very big stories today. the russian investigation that swept up members of team trump and the investigation in england. comprehensive coverage of both ahead. first, the suicide attack in manchester. officials now say at least 22 people are dead. some 60 others hurt after a man set off a bomb at an ariana grande concert. the bomber is 22-year-old salman abedi. british media report he was born in england to a libyan family. police say they also arrested another man in connection with the attack. one of the victims, 8-year-old
12:02 pm
sassy russo, a teacher, told the guardian newspaper that she was a beautiful girl in every aspect of the world. the islamic state claiming responsibility for the blasts. though u.s. intelligence officials say they have not verified that isis was either behind the attack or even that the terror group had influence upon it. we reported for hours last night on the chaos and confusion inside that arena after the blast. >> what's going on, they said? it wasn't clear in the early going. more video showing people climbing over railings as they rushed to get outside. fans running down stairs, scrambling for exits. witnesses describing bolts and
12:03 pm
med tall. hospitals reporting people had shrapnel-like injuries. it's not clear what type of device the bomber used. the next video is from inside a vehicle and a dash cam outside the vehicle. watch to the lower left of your screen and see the flash and hear the blast. >> no! >> shepard: early reports suggested that might have been some kind of electrical malfunction. but then the world learned it was so much more serious. over in our wall, i want to show you where the investigators say the bomb went off. manchester arena, the biggest indoor stadium in great britain. it can hold 21,000 and it was mostly full. the blast happened near the box office. straight up there.
12:04 pm
you can see the red circle here. that's near the entrance of the arena. the concert just ended. people were making their way to the victoria train station, which you see here. some images to show you this afternoon in the slide show. the first from inside the arena. the first here shows i'm pooh helping the victims. forensic workers combing through the evidence. and here, one woman placing flowers ahead of a vigil a short time ago. the queen paying respects. queen elizabeth and prince phillip observing a moment of silence. back at the vigil, a sign with so many messages for those that died as well as the community. a couple of the notes to the people of manchester. "my heart goes out to you all." and "love will always come through in the end." so many posts on social media. people looking for loved ones, especially children.
12:05 pm
ariana grande tweeted last night, broken from the bottom of my heart. i'm so sorry. i don't have words. much more ahead including a live report from manchester and washington for the latest on what we're learning. at home, the big story centers on the russia investigation. two enormous revelations. first, the former head of the cia says he had a previously undisclosed conversation with the russians. and in it he testified that he personally warned them not to interfere in the presidential election. he's the former director, john brennan and he made the comment while testifying before the house intelligence committee. he said he told the russians in meddling in our democracy would backfire on them and hurt the united states after the election. the second big news item, bran nan was worried that trump campaign aides may have been recruited. >> i encountered intelligence
12:06 pm
that revealed contacts and interactions between russian officials and u.s. persons involved in the trump campaign. i was concerned about them because of known russian efforts to such individuals, and it raised questions in my mind again whether or not the russians were able to gain the cooperation of those individuals. >> shepard: remember, brennan had seen the intelligence. the former cia director testified he doesn't know whether the trump team colluded with the russians, but he testified he was so concerned about their contacts, over the summer he pulled together a group of officials from the cia, the fbi and national intelligence agency to focus on this issue. republicans grilled john brennan about whether there is evidence of collusion. brennan said he couldn't answer
12:07 pm
the question. he said they focus on evidence. he said people that go along a treasonous past don't realize it too late. and republicans grilled the former cia director about what he believes were the goals of russia's election meddling. >> it looks like the intelligence shows that moscow was actually rooting for trump or were they rooting against hillary clinton? and why? >> i think my assessment it was both. they -- most of the time they believed that secretary clinton was going to win the election. so their efforts to denigrate her were to hurt her and support her eventual presidency. but also as my assessment that they clearly had a more favorable view towards mr. trump.
12:08 pm
>> john brennan said the rushes were trying to increase trump's chances of winning even though it's likely president trump's prospects were not that great. the former cia director said he believes that russian's meddling in our democracy is far from over. >> do you think they would attempt to influence the 2018 mid-term elections? >> i have unfortunately grudging respect for russian intelligence capabilities. their aggressiveness, i believe that they will try to exploit elections, but they will not wait until elections. >> shepard: john brennan resigned in january. president trump in a tweet then accused him of being a leaker of fake news. mike pompeo replaced him. lawmakers say they want to know more about the agency's intelligence gathering before our election.
12:09 pm
after today's hearing, brennan was questioned again, but this time behind closed doors. peter doocy is live on capitol hill. peter? >> shep, a little while ago, we saw the former cia director john brennan exit and head up the stairs. so the closed classified session is over. we have new word from the white house about this morning's proceedings. in a statement they say, the hearings back up what we've been saying. despite a year of investigation, there's no collusion with the trump administration and that even obama's cia director believed the leaks of classified information are appalling and the culprit must be tracked down. brennan revealed something interesting about the unmasking of american citizens including possibly trump campaign officials that appear in intel reports. he testified on his last day at the cia, he don't unmask somebody on his way out the door
12:10 pm
to try to make it easier for whoever followed him to set up some kind of a case that the trump campaign officials were involved with any kind of collusion with the russians. however, he did reveal that more often than not, at the cia, the way this process works, when an official wants somebody's name unmasked, it happens. >> have you ever requested that a u.s. person's name be unmasked? >> yes, i have. >> have you ever either approved or denied requests of others that a u.s. person's name be unmasked. >> i don't recall in my tenure at the cia any decision on a masking for someone else coming up to my level. it would have been -- that decision would have been made at a lower level in the agency. >> and there was some suggestion during the opening hearing that unmasking would come up again at the closed hearing. but brennan, the ranking member, adam schiff and the acting
12:11 pm
chairman of this probe, mike conway, all exited and none of them wanted to talk to us, shep. >> shepard: lawmakers asked john brennan about reports that president trump shared classified information with the russians in the oval office. >> right. brennan said he's not sure if those reports are true. he says if they are, he thinks president trump may have violated two protocols, not laws. one is a protocol that discourages u.s. officials from sharing intel with visiting dignitaries as opposed to going through intel channels and then separate protocol that encourages any u.s. officials that want to share information with a foreign dignitary and ask where the first came from and ask first. but two important points. brennan said he shared a fair amount of intel with the russians during his time as director of the cia. he says he thinks the leaks are
12:12 pm
appalling and whoever is putting this information out and keeps dinging the white house should be rounded up and punished. >> shepard: thanks, peter. the latest blockbuster report from the washing report is if true very serious. the paper reports president trump asked the heads of the national intelligence agency and the national security agency to say that there was no collusion between members of team trump and the russians. minutes from now, we're expecting one of those men to testify on capitol hill regarding that matter. we heard from the other man. we're waiting for a decision from the leaders of the senate intelligence committee on what to do about michael flynn's refusal to cooperate with their subpoena. details as we have them coming up from the fox news deck on this tuesday afternoon. needs to be fixed... trust safelite autoglass. for these parents, driving around was the only way to get their baby to sleep. so when their windshield got cracked... customer: we can't drive this car.

12:14 pm
12:15 pm
>> former cia director brennan said he was worried that russian intelligence operatives may have successfully recruited trump campaign aides. on the matter of possible collusion, that he was concerned about whether members of trump were involved in russian meddling. he testified whether there was collusion or not is not a matter for the cia. it's not their job. let's turn to rachel bade from politico. felt like when tray gaudy asked that question, he got an answer he was not expecting. >> absolutely. he was trying to talk about leaks there. but then brennan went off to
12:16 pm
talk obviously about how this is turning into be a big problem in 2016. he said he was worried about contacts that he was seeing between the trump campaign and the russians. he used the word subborn over and over again. that the russians have a habit of talking to americans and manipulate them to doing their will whether or not they realize this is happening to them. he was worried this is what was happening. so he took it upon himself to refer this to the fbi and to look into whether or not the collusion was happening. he didn't say whether or not collusion was happening. he left the agencies, the cia in january, however, this is not the answer gaudy was expecting and sent republicans for a little shock wave at that moment. >> shepard: part of the base of his testimony seemed that he was concerned about the number and frequency of contacts. >> that's absolutely right. he said over and over again, he
12:17 pm
was seeing intelligence that was signals there was contact going on. another thing he brought up that republicans really wanted to hear him talk about, the leaks that we're seeing over and over again. he did say the leaks were damaging to intelligence gathering methods. he pointed to records saying that the president gave classified information to officials in the oval office, classified information that had come from israel allegedly, and he basically said that the fact that this had gotten out was discouraging to him and he thought it could be damaging because it would prohibit other countries from working with the united states on sensitive matters. he said those leakers need to be found and tracked down and stopped. >> shepard: then there's michael flynn. this is developing now. remember, michael flynn had contacts with the russians that he lied about and conversations with the russians that he lied about.
12:18 pm
he was fired according to the white house for lying to the vice president. he refused to acknowledge a subpoena, give up records and give testimony to a committee. we just heard from the senate intelligence committee that it will likely take new actions today to force him to testify. what do we know about that, if anything? >> the senate intelligence chairman, richard burr, brought up that he could hold flynn in contempt of congress. basically by taking the fifth amendment, flynn is refusing to give over documents that senator burr wants about his contacts between the russians and himself during the campaign. burr says he's just asking for documents. so republicans disagree whether or not this was a good idea to hold him in contempt of congress. it's going to be a big circus on the hill if that's what they end up doing and will distract from the republicans agenda on tax
12:19 pm
reform and healthcare, et cetera. >> rachel, bottom line, if the white house was hoping for relief, for some cover, did they get it today in this hearing? >> oh, definitely not. i'd say we keep seeing this over and over again. the president unveiled his budget. they hoped that would drive the headlines. all we're seeing is headlines about flynn saying there could have been collusion, he was worried about contacts, we'll be hearing ant flynn being held in contempt of congress. these are not the things the white house wants to see on page 1. they want to be talking about their agenda. so this hurts republicans here in washington. >> rachael bade in capitol hill. thanks so much. appreciate it. we'll talk with the journalist that says that the white house leaks are a big issue, but it's reported that president trump has given him political if not
12:23 pm
>> shepard: president trump reportedly asked two intelligence chiefs to help him push back against the fbi investigation into possible ties between his campaign and russia. that's according to the reporting of t"the washington pos post". according to the post, the president asked each man to publicly deny that his campaign worked with the russian government to influence the 2016 election. coates and rogers both refused according to the post. neither made a public statement on the issue. turns out hours after that
12:24 pm
report, director coats was testifying as previously scheduled and senator john mccain asked him and directly, coats would not confirm or deny. >> given the nature of my position and the information at which we share, it's not appropriate for me to comment publicly on any of that. so on this topic, i don't feel it okay to characterize those conversations. >> lindsey graham says he has nothing to hide. >> he acts like a man that is frustrated with the process. he's got to be more disciplined in terms of respecting the process. i don't see a man who has something to hide. he's very frustrated and needs a grip on it.
12:25 pm
>> shepard: let's bring in a.b. stoddard from realclearpolitics.com. if this is true, what is this? >> senator graham describes this as someone that came from the outside, doesn't understand these are checks and balances built into the structure of our government and an important part of his job where he's not allowed to ask these questions and make these demands of people about investigations. if he has nothing to hide, he's still making a big mistake. it's crossing a line and going way over a line to ask people to come out and publicly disavow or, you know, deny the existence of certain parts of an investigation, whether it's about collusion or not about collusion. so the president has shown whether there's collusion or not, whether there's any grounds from obstruction. i'm not a lawyer and i'm not going to get into that. a willingness to step over these lines. in the end, because these stories have been leaked to the
12:26 pm
press about comey, he requested loyalty from comey, made the requests of rogers and coats, it leads to a story line that ends with the firing of comey, which the president said was a result of the russia investigation, the appearance and a pattern of him getting frustrated as senator graham said with the investigation and doing something to try to slow it down or change the public perception of it. none of which is allowed. >> shepard: didn't he bring this on himself? >> that's the problem, shep. all of these things are self-inflicted. he can fire comey. he could have done it at any time. >> shepard: for any reason. >> right. with good reason. comey broached a breach protocol and inserted himself into a political plot of the election last year. so there's so many things that president trump can do. it's the way he does it. he blames the rosenstein memo that came from the deputy attorney general and then he
12:27 pm
sends vice president mike pence to go out and say seven times on capitol hill, it was because of the recommendations, the strong recommendations in a memo written by rod rosenstein who then gets thrown under the bus by the president. so this is the kind of thing. he's bringing himself so much political pain. if it's not legal and ethical, it's so political peril that he doesn't need when republicans in congress are afraid to defend him, not knowing what he will turn around and say 36 hours later. >> the lindsey graham defenses, he just doesn't know better, he doesn't understand the system. but when he told somebody to go say something that we later learned that wasn't true, does that defense also apply? does it apply today when he arrived in tel aviv and just said he left the middle east? is there -- >> the problem is the stakes are so high, shepard. someone has to take him aside and say people know because of
12:28 pm
these leaks you asked comey for loyalty and you asked rogers and coats. and to deny the investigation, you fired comey, different stories about why you fired comey. you have to learn the rules. you may not like it, but you have to abide by the rules. it's harder for people to defend him. it's all self-inflicted and doesn't have to be. >> shepard: a.b. stoddard, thank you. president trump is close to picking a group of lawyers outside the federal government to help him with the russian investigations. a team of lawyers. that's according to "the washington post." white house officials are not confirming the reports but they're not denying it either. trace gallagher is here with us. trace? >> shep, the "washington post" says the president and his advisers are working together as a team. some of the names being
12:29 pm
mentioned are ted olsen who rose to prominence in 2000 when he argued gore v. bush before the supreme court delivering the presidency to george w. bush. also helped overturn the 2000 california ballot measure outlawing same sex marriage. he's wife died in a plane that hit the pentagon on 9-11. and then there's another name, reid weingarten who some say is an unlikely choice because he's represented many democratic clients and also a very close friend with the former attorney general under the obama administration, eric holder. shep? >> shepard: and there may be a possible conflict of interest with one of the leading candidates. is that right? >> yeah, correct. mark cazowicz is another leading
12:30 pm
contender. he's known mr. trump for decades and represented him in a number of cases. but the senior counsel at his law firm is joseph lieberman, who is the leading candidate to head up the fbi. so if you have lieberman heading the organization investigating the russian collusion and you have cazowicz giving him advice, having them in the same law firm could be a conflict. this outside legal team is separate from the white house counsel's office. shep? >> shepard: trace gallagher. thank you, sir. so we're waiting for the nsa director right now michael rogers to testify on capitol hill. we'll let you know if he responds to "the washington post" report that president trump requested that he speak out about the russia investigation and deny
12:31 pm
12:32 pm
(woman vo) my husband didn't recognize our grandson. (woman 2 vo) that's when moderate alzheimer's made me a caregiver. (avo) if their alzheimer's is getting worse, ask about once-a-day namzaric. namzaric is approved for moderate to severe alzheimer's disease in patients taking donepezil. namzaric may improve cognition and overall function, and may slow the worsening of symptoms for a while. namzaric does not change the underlying disease progression. don't take if allergic to memantine, donepezil, piperidine, or any of the ingredients in namzaric. tell the doctor about any conditions; including heart, lung, bladder, kidney or liver problems, seizures, stomach ulcers, or procedures with anesthesia. serious side effects may occur, including muscle problems if given anesthesia; slow heartbeat, fainting, more stomach acid which may lead to ulcers and bleeding; nausea, vomiting, difficulty urinating,
12:33 pm
seizures, and worsening of lung problems. most common side effects are headache, diarrhea, dizziness, loss of appetite, and bruising. (woman 2 vo) i'm caring for someone with moderate alzheimer's. if you are too, ask about namzaric today. >> shepard: u.s. military officials say navy seal team has raided an al-quaida strong hold in yemen killing seven militants. some american special ops were hurt and left on their home. th corrections official s say granted o.j. simpson a hearing. the 70-year-old now former nfl star served nine years of a 33 year sentence behind bars in nevada after he tried to steal
12:34 pm
12:36 pm
>> shepard: continuing coverage of the suicide attack at the ariana grande concert in manchester england. 22 dead. 60 injured. british officials are identifying the suspected bomber. police say they arrested one other person. it's the deadly terror attack on british soil since 2005 when more than 50 people died on london's transit system. rick leventhal is live with more. rick? >> a different scene here than 22 hours ago when the terror attack took place. the road is closed. police are on scene.
12:37 pm
19 of the screams and sirens. we're about 210 miles north of london. manchester a city of 500,000. easily obtained by rail. this train station is connected to the manchester arena, which is the largest in the u.k. arena. it was packed with 21,000 people headed for the exits after that ariana grande concert ended and the attack took place in a public area between the train station and a concert venue. chaos as they heard the explosion there were screams and panic and a stampede for the exits. at least 22 killed and an 8-year-old girl an a 18-year-old student, georgia callander. authorities face the grim task
12:38 pm
of identifying the dead. >> it's a barbaric attack. it's devastating. prayers must be with their families and friends. this horrendous tragedy that has taken place. >> a tough time, shepard. the worst attack here in almost 12 years. >> shepard: huge crowds at a vigil today too, i understand, rick. >> yeah, we talked to a guy that has lived here about ten years. he says normally there's a lot of energy. the town is always buzzing but not today. thousands of people turned at albert square, a short distance from here, to remember the lives lost and those wounded, a huge crowd there signing silence and candles and observing moments of
12:39 pm
silence. this town is in tatters right now. >> shepard: thanks, rick. the director of national intelligence says united states officials are working with their british counter parts to help with the investigation into the bombing. dan coats testified in the senate armed services committee at a previously scheduled hearing. it comes as british police say they have carried out multiple raids in connection with this attack. now the chief constable says they're trying to figure out whether the suspected bomber was acting alone or as part of a larger network. catherine herridge is live in washington. catherine? >> investigators are building a picture of the suspect, the 22-year-old, salman abedi. they're looking at his travel and who he communicated with. the bomber's electronics will play a significant role. fox news has been told that a
12:40 pm
preliminary review of social media accounts linked to the name came up true. the forensic review of the explosive device, what is left, is underway. investigators can typically trace the nuts and bolts to a manufacturer, even a point of sale and bring security camera video so they can identify who bought the bomb parts. the british intelligence agencies are providing leads to the cia. the suspect's name is being run through databases of known terror suspect ps and that's a standard practice, shep. >> shepard: what else did the director say on capitol hill? >> the dni that oversees the panel says they're working to verify the isis claim of responsibility adding -- >> this threat is real and it's not going away and needs
12:41 pm
significant attention we need to do everything we can to protect our people. >> the counter terrorism investigator says there might be some significant to the isis claim because they do not talk about the bomber's name. based on this claim of responsibility, lawmakers say the key issue again is whether a terror group was behind it, whether this guy was a continuum. they talk about people that are inspired, people who are enabled and the most serious is those that are directed at the end of the day and if they're successful, it doesn't matter, does it? >> shepard: it doesn't. catherine, thanks. >> you're welcome. >> shepard: president trump condemning the attack in the way we haven't seen from past presidents. >> i will call them from now on "losers." because that's what they are.
12:42 pm
12:44 pm
12:45 pm
you can't quit, neither should your pain reliever. stay all day strong with 12 hour aleve. >> shepard: president trump is calling on all civilized nations to unite and obliterate terrorism following the attack in manchester. he has a new name for the terrorists. >> so many young people living and enjoying their lives murdered by evil losers. i won't call them monsters. because they would like that term. i will call them from now on "losers." because that's what they are. they're losers. >> shepard: president trump made the comments today in the west bank during his visit with the palestinian president, mahmoud abbas. kristin fisher has more. >> instead of using the phrase
12:46 pm
"radical islamic terrorism", he said it's a wicked ideology and must be obliterated. listen to this. >> peace can never take root in an environment where violence is tolerated, funded and rewarded. the terrorists and extremists and those that give them aid and comfort must be driven out from our society forever. >> president trump will be meeting with theresa may later in person this week. president trump made it a point to call this morning and offer support. the president said these attack on teenage children and families was particularly wanton and depraved and they agreed to discuss it further at the upcoming summit in brussels. >> shepard: president trump and the palestinian president talked about the possibility of a peace
12:47 pm
process with israel. >> yeah, president abbas said that he was committed to helping president trump form a peace deal with the israelis. at the same time, he laid out a long list of nonnegotiables many of which are deal breakers for the israelis. the president is still confident a deal with be reached and he's the man to broker it. >> the palestinians are ready to reach for peace. i know you've heard it before. i'm telling you, that's what i do. they're ready to reach for peace. >> from the middle east to europe, president trump is now in italy. he will be meeting with pope francis tomorrow. the two famously feuded over a border wall with mexico. the pope said it wasn't christian. then candidate trump responded by saying it was disgraceful for him to question his faith. but he said they won't have a
12:48 pm
ton of time to work it out. president trump is only in rome for less than 19 hours. >> shepard: thanks, kristin. the white house releasing president trump's budget plan today. some republicans praising the boost in defense spending, but others say the other cuts go to far. one gop senator calling the plan illegal. that's next. first, sir roger moore, the actor that played james bond has died. he took over from sean connerry in the 70s and appeared in seven of the films including "moon raker" and "a man with the golden gun." he wanted to bring some humor to the oo 7 role. moore was a humanitarian later in life. moore's family said he died in switzerland after a battle with cancer. sir roger moore was 89. ke home,

i wanted him to eat healthy. so i feed jake purina cat chow naturals indoor, a nutritious formula with no artificial flavors. made specifically for indoor cats. purina cat chow. nutrition to build better lives. on a perfect car, then smash it into a tree. your insurance company raises your rates... maybe you should've done more research on them. for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise your rates due to your first accident. liberty mutual insurance.
12:52 pm
>> shepard: president trump's $4 trillion budget proposal is out today. it calls for a boost in military spending but cuts to food stamps and health insurance for low income americans. it's getting a mixed reaction to put it mildly, even in his own party. paul ryan says the plan will help grow the economy and prioritizes taxpayers over bureaucrats in washington while making our military stronger. then there's john mccain that is slamming the plan saying president trump's $603 billion defense budget request is inadequate to the challenges we face. illegal under current law and part of an overall budget proposal that is dead on arrival
12:53 pm
in congress. who can make sense of this? mike emanuel, our man hahn capitol hill. mike? >> good afternoon to you. there's reasons for the luke warm receptions. lawmakers want to remind everybody that congress has the power of the purse and they don't want to give it up. when you consider cutting government programs that will make some of your constituents if you're a lawmaker unhappy. so now lawmakers have to look at the bucket proposal and make recommendations. >> the president's budget is a recommendation. as long as i've been here, they make a recommendation and we decide what to do with those recommendations. so we'll be taking into account what the president's recommending but it won't be determinative. >> this is the start, not a final plan. that will come up for a vote. bottom line, there are a number of republicans that like the idea that sets the goal of
12:54 pm
trying to balance the budget in the next decade. >> shepard: so some of the republicans like the ideas. what about democrats? >> they're taking aim at it saying it would hurt lower income americans. democrats are noting that president trump when he was candidate trump talked about not touching entitlement programs and those critics are calling the president out. >> well, sadly this budget exposes all of that verbiage for what it was. just cheap and dishonest campaign rhetoric that was meant to get votes. nothing more than that. >> the white house budget director knows in washington when you freeze the amount you're spending from one year to the next is that considered a cut? bottom line, lawmakers will take a look what's been laid out today, but this is a starting point and a lot of hearings and a lot of debate in the months ahead. shep? >> shepard: thanks, mike. a violent end for one of the
12:55 pm
most notorious criminal couples of all time and that end came on this day in history. whoa, this thing is crazy. i just had to push one button to join. it's like i'm in the office with you, even though i'm here. it's almost like the virtual reality of business communications. no, it's reality. intuitive one touch video conferencing is a reality. and now it's included at no additional cost with vonage business. call now and see why 3,000 companies a month are switching to vonage. business grade. people friendly.
12:58 pm
>> shepard: a live look outside the senate intelligence committee hearing. this is an interesting one. what they're doing today is figuring out what to do about michael flynn. remember, they wanted michael flynn to testify or actually give up documents regarding his contacts with the russians and possible collusion in the middle of the russia investigation. he told them no. now they're trying to figure out how to compel him to do something. when we hear from the committee, we'll let you know. two astronauts making urgent repairs at the international space station. this is after nasa records a relay box stopped working. the box controls the solar panels in the robotic arm. officials have said they've used
12:59 pm
