mccain in my short tenure here in the department of justice, i've been more concerned about computer hacking and those issues than i was at the in you're correct. >> "the washington post" reported yesterday russia has developed a cyber weapon that can disrupt the united states power grids and telecommunications infrastructure. this weapon is similar to what russia or russian allied hackers used to disrupt ukraine's electrical grid in 2015. can you discuss a little bit in open session how serious that is? >> i don't believe i can discuss the technological issues, just to say that it is very disturbing that the russians continue to push hostile actions in their foreign policy, and it is not good for the united

states or the world or russia, in my opinion. >> reporter: do you believe we have a strategy in order to counter these ever-increasing threats to our national security and our way of life? >> not sufficiently. we do not have a sufficient strategy dealing with technological and i.t. penetrations of our system. i truly believe it's more important than i ever did before, and i appreciate your concern and leadership on that issue and, in fact, all of congress is going to have to do better. >> senator's time's expired. chair would recognize the vice chair. >> thank you, mr. chairman and general sessions, thank you, and i particularly appreciate your last comments with senator mccain about the seriousness of this threat and it's why so many of us on this committee are concerned when the whole question of russian intervention, the president continues to refer to it as a witch hunt and fake news, and

there doesn't seem to be a recognition of the seriousness of this threat. i share, i think most members do, the idea the russians massively interfered and want to continue to interfere not to fave one party or the other but their own interest, and it is of enormous concern we have to hear from the administration how they're going to take that on. also, the comments have been made here about where we had in terms of some of the trump associates who may have had contacts with russians. we've not gotten to all that yet because of the unprecedented firing of the f.b.i. director that was leading this very same russia investigation, it superseded some of our activities. so those members that i hope will persue the troubling amount of smoke at least out there

between individuals affiliated two the trump campaign, possibly advertise with russia. i've not reached conclusions but we've got to pursue that. final comment, and i understand your point, but there were a series of comments made by mr. comey last week. i think members on this side of the aisle indicated understand executive privilege, understand classified setting. i do think we need as senator reed and harris and others indicated, if there are longstanding, written procedures about this ability to have some other category to protect the conversations with the president, we would like to get a look at them because we need to find out, in light of some of the contradictions between today and last week, where this all heads. at the end of the day, this is not only -- let me restate what i said last time, this is not about re-litigating 2016. it is about finding out what happened, about serious

allegations about potential ties, but on a foregoing business making sure that the russians who are not finished in terms of their activities, we know 2016 is yong going and we have to be prepared better in an ongoing basis. >> thank you, mr. chairman. mr. chairman, a brief comment. i want to say that the chains at the top of the f.b.i. should have no impact whatsoever on the investigation. those teams will be continuing to work and have not been altered in any way. >> but there were a number of strange comments that mr. comey testified last week that you could, i believe, shed some light on. but we'll continue. >> general sessions, thank you again for your willingness to be here. not sure you knew it, but your replacement sat through most of this hearing, luther strange,. he's made us regret we don't have intramural basketball

teams. >> big luther is a good round ball player, tulane. >> you have been asked a wide range of questions, and i think you've answered things related to claims about the meeting at the mayflower, you've answered questions that surround the reasons for your recusal and the fact you had never been briefed since day one on the investigation, that you made clear that you can't think of any other conversations that you've had with russian officials. you've covered in detail the conversation that you u had, though brief, with director comey that he referenced to after his private meeting with the president, just to name a few things that i think you've helped us to clear up. there were several questions that you chose not to answer because of confidentiality with the president.

i would only ask you, now, to go back and work with the white house to see if there are any areas of questions that they feel comfortable with you answering, and, if they do, that you provide those answers in writing to the committee. i would also be remiss if i didn't remind you that those documents that you can provide for the committee, they would be helpful to us for the purposes of sorting time lines out. anything that substantiates your testimony today, individuals who might have been at events that you're familiar, with especially those that work for you, would be extremely helpful and, more importantly, i want to thank you for your agreement to have a continuing dialogue with us, as we might need to ask some additional questions as we go a little further down the investigation. that certainly does not have to be a public hearing, but it may be an exchange and a dialogue

that we have. you have helped us tremendously, and we're grateful to you and to mary for the unbelievable sacrifice that you made in this institution but also now this administration. this hearing is now adjourned. >> thank you. >> pelley: and so ends the senate intelligence committee hearing with the attorney general jeff sessions describing what he recalled and did not recall about the russia investigation and the firing of former f.b.i. director james comey. sessions began with a forceful defense of his own actions, but, during the course of the hearing, also frustrated many senators by declining repeatedly to answer questions about conversations that he had had with the president. john dickerson, what did you make of this two and a half-hour hearing? >> there are three elements to this investigation. the first is did the russians try to meddle in the elections, and that's something the

president said might be true or might not be, might be the chinese or some hacker. attorney general sessions came down on the side the russians did it and this is an important thing to find out. the second part is was there ans very strong. that's where he gave his most forceful defenses of himself, saying the third meeting with the russians is basically nothing. where he got quite murky is the question of obstruction of justice, flnls by the president, either in firing james comey or anything else regarding this investigation. in all of that, he basically punted on those questions saying the president might exert executive privilege and he wasn't going to answer. >> pelley: now, let's look just briefly at what the attorney general said at the beginning of the hearing in his forceful defense of his own actions. >> i have never met with or had any conversation with any russians or any foreign officials concerning any type of interference with any campaign or election in the united

states. further, i have no knowledge of any such conversations by anyone connected to the trump campaign. i was your colleague in this body for 20 years-- at least some of you-- and i-- and the suggestion that i participated in any collusion, that i was aware of any collusion with the russian government to hurt this country, which i have served with honor for 35 years, or to undermine the integrity of our democratic process is an appalling and detestable lie. >> pelley: now, jan crawford, that was about as forthcoming as the attorney general got as the questions wore on this afternoon. he repeatedly declined to answer any questions that related to his conversations with the president, and a lot of democrats on the panel in particular thought that was the most important thing that he could degree. >> well, of course, because they're wanting to know what the president told him about why he

really was firing james comey, or was the president really concerned about this investigation? and sessions just flatley refused to reveal any of those private conversations that he had had with the president, that hadn't already been publicly disclosed. and he kept saying that he felt that it was this-- not an executive privilege but he needed to keep those communications private. now, it is true, i mean, that there is this long-standing justice department policy, specifically the office of legal counsel, that a president is entitled to confidential communications with his senior advisers, and there are various memos from the office of legal counsel that outline all of that. and separately, i mean the supreme court has said that a president is entitled, based on separation of 0ur powerses conc, based on this zone of confidentiality. if this committee wants answers from jeff session, they're going to have to try to bring some

kind of contempt action and hold him in contempt of congress which republicans have a majority on that committee. what are the odds they're going to do that? zero. and even if they did, then what would happen? president trump would then be forced to say, "i'm asserting executive privilege. jeff session is not going to answer these questions." or he could say, gahead and answer the questions." but that would force the president's hand. and presidents historically are very reluctant to assert executive privilege because it comes at a political cost. we see here that jeff sessions is saying there are these memos and policies, long-standing traditions of the justice department, that he should not have to reveal these private communications. >> pelley: senator heinrich, held the attorney general's feet to the fire on this subject. let's have a look at that. >> i am asking about your personal knowledge from this committee which has a constitutional obligation to get to the bottom of this. there are two investigations here. there is a special counsel investigation. there is also a congressional

investigation. and you are obstructing that congressional delegation-- investigation by not answering these questions. and i think your silence, like the silence of director coats, like the silence of admiral rogers, speaks volumes. >> i would say that i have consulted with senior career attorneys in this the department-- >> i suspect you have. >> and this is consistent with my duties. >> pelley: so, john dickerson, months and months and months to go in this investigation. >> that's right. and the answers are not going to come from congress if this continues because-- on this question of influencing the investigation or obstruction-- because of this, what jan so nicely explained, unless republicans are willing to charge him with contempt and that doesn't look like it's going to happen. >> pelley: john dickerson, jan crawford, thank you very much. there will be much more on this on your local news on this cbs station, always on our streaming network, cbsn, and, of course, zeal a full wrap-up right here on the cbs evening news. until then, i'm scott pelley,

cbs news in new york. we're here, comfortable with these jurors who are going to review the facts, of the case, and they will make the right decision. >> now at 5:00 jury deliberations continue for a second day and bill cosby's sexual assault trial, and a conviction cut could put him behind bars for the rest of his life. aim jessica dean. aim jim donovan. jury deliberating case has asked a judge a few questions as they worked to come to the decision. our joe holden is live in montgomery county courthouse in norristown with the break down of all of today's developments. good afternoon, joe. >> reporter: jim, jessica, good afternoon. it has been watching, waiting at montgomery county

courthouse in norristown. hundreds of reporters, cameras camped out here waiting for this jury to come back, with a verdict. as you mentioned there have been questions, questions, ranging from the pills that cosby admits he gave to andrea constand. the question though back to those pills is what was the context, was there ever consent on andrea constand's part and also, a question late in the day, about andrea constand's 2005 initial report to police, that triggered this entire case. bill cosby legendary actor comedian and pitch man once a temple university trustee until his recent legal troubles is in the fight of his life. the philadelphia native could lose his freedom if convicted on any of the charges of indecent assault. cosby through his attorney have strongly denied core allegation in the case that he drugged, and molested a woman he was mentoring in 2004. that woman is andrea constand, the prime witness in the case from can inadequacies, first filed a police report in 2005

about the night she says cosby offered her three pills to help her relax. the d.a. at the time shut down the investigation citing a lack of evidence. cosby sat for a deposition that was sealed for a decade. he outlined giving constand pills and proceeded with what was described an ongoing intimate relationship. conn stan claims the pills rendered her incapacitated. she awoke to cosby assaulted her. kevin steel, the montgomery county d.a. inherited the case upon taking the job. his office landed significant pretrial victories, and getting critical evidence admitted, including the once sealed deposition as sources say it is damming for cosby. brian mcmonigal a long time philadelphia criminal defense attorney has led cosby's team, fight to go keep him from jail mcmonigal only put on one witness, testimony that lasted six minutes. he has attempted to spotlight inconsistency in constand's story. and the jury just crossed 12th

hour mark in its deliberations of this potential evidence, the evidence that has been, raised here both in the courtroom, and evidence, and direct testimony, remember, the prosecution went on for a solid five days, cosby's team raised six minutes worth of testimony on their side saying , of course, they deserve the obligation to not put forward a case but right now question remains, what occurs the latest this evening or possibly tomorrow. these questions giving us an insight into how this jury is moving, through, this evidence coming up on "eyewitness news" at 6:00 we will get revelations one on one with bill cosby's counts, i will see you flack for that part of the story. we have you covered with a team here, monitoring things inside of the montgomery county courthouse. we're live, from norristown i'm joe holden for cbs-3 "eyewitness news". >> thanks very much. we will check back with you in a bit. it was a chaotic scene in center city this morning. minivan jumped a curve and hit
