the third since a crash in washington state last december. nbc's jennifer johnson gives us more details. >> reporter: a horrific scene near cayce, south carolina. the mangled wreckage of amtrak train 91 and a csx freight train. the trains collided just after 2:30 a.m. when most passengers were asleep, killing engineer michael kempf and the conductor. >> threw us across the room like you would not believe. >> reporter: sources tell nbc news that just before the crash all csx signals were off line. csx gave verbal approval for the amtrak to proceed down a set of tracks, but the track switch was in the wrong position, sending the amtrak directly into the parked freight train. >> key to this investigation is learning why that switch was lined that way. the expectation, of course, is that the amtrak would be cleared and would be operating straight down like this. >> reporter: most of the 139

goes on and on. no collusion and no obstruction. still those republicans who say otherwise. here was congressman trey gowdy who had a hand in writing that gop memo. >> i actually don't think it has any impact on the russia probe for this reason. >> the memo has no impact on the russia probe? >> not to me it doesn't. i was pretty integrally involved in the drafting of it. >> this comes as democrats push congress and the president to accept their own competing memo, demanding it be released to the public as they accuse republicans of waging an opposition campaign against a russia investigation and the fbi. and we're learning new details regarding carter pain. republicans allege the fbi ob stained a fisa warrant to track mr. page using the uncorroborated and controversial steele dossier, however now we're learning through "the wall street journal" that carter page was on the radar of u.s. counterintelligence since at least 2013. and now there's this, "time" magazine reports it has obtained a letter from august of 2013 in

which page apparently touted being an informal adviser to the kremlin. times says page writes, over the past half year i've had the privilege to serve as an informal adviser to the staff of the kremlin in preparation for their presidency at the g-20 summit next month where energy issues will be a prominent point on the agenda. carter page is not charged with any crime and denies any wrongdoing. for all the noise the memo has created devin nunes says there is more to come. >> this completes just the fisa abuse portion of our investigation. we are in the middle of what i call phase two of our investigation, which involves other departments, specifically the state department and some of the involvement that they had in this. >> also out of washington today, incoming federal reserve chairman jerome powell will be sworn in taking the reigns from janet yellen who departs her position. yellen is revealing how she really feels about her single
