committee computers. >> i have asked for an apology that the cia search of computers used by the committee was inappropriate. i have received neither. pieces to the puzzle. new clues revealed about the two passengers who used stolen passports to board the missing malaysia airlines flight 370, but this new lead has not brought investigators any closer to finding out what went wrong. >> this clearly is quite disturbing because it's been several days and still no trace of the aircraft. rest assured a number of threads are being pulled to see what we can find out. the desperate mission to find any sign of that jet liners expands to a new area west of malaysia. >> reporter: we're flying low over the ocean off the coast of malaysia, well below 1,000 feet. it is calm down there.

you can see everything and nothing. there's no sign of flight 370. subpoena showdown, bridget kelly, the former member of christie's inner circle is in court today fighting to keep personal e-mails and documents out of the hands of investigators. what today's hearing means for the expanding bridge gate investigation. >> this is not, has not been and these subpoenas are not fishing expeditions of any sort. and comedy chops, president obama joins zach galifianakis for his awkward between two ferns q and a. one liners on everything from health care to third terms. >> it must stink you can't run three teams -- >> actually, i think it's a good idea. you know, if i ran a third time it would be sort of like doing a third hangover movie, it didn't

really work out well, did it? good day, i'm peter alexander in washington for andrea mitchell. we're going to have more of andrea's exclusive interview with john brennan. first, the malaysia military says it now has radar evidence showing missing malaysia airlines flight 370 changed course. we're just learning this. it changed course hundreds of miles away from the last location that had been reported by civilian authorities. video provided by the u.s. navy shows them aiding in the search for the plane in the gulf of thailand. it had 239 people on board and vanished four days ago leaving family and loved ones desperate for any information.

joining us now is keir simmons in cue allkuala lumpur. and tom costello, we're learning new information that the shows the plane changed course. which explains the 180 when the search went from the east side to the west side of the malaysian island. >> there is also a little bit of lost in translation issue going on about whether they are definitively saying it changed course or may changed course. there's no denying the fact the malaysia military has shift the search area to a large extent off the west coast, the strait of malacca with some evidence suggesting the plane may have been in that area as well. you're going to hear from ke riir shortly. we also know that the malaysian authorities have now identified

those two individuals who had false passports. they are now identified as two iranian teenagers, an 18-year-old and 19-year-old, the 19-year-old was on his way to germany to meet up with his mother and trying to get immigration status there, we're not clear on what exactly the 18-year-old's issue was, why he was on a false passport also heading to europe. meanwhile today we're in the end of the fourth day. we've gone through four full day cycles of no sign of this plane. and they have been searching as you know in this vast area in the south china sea as well as the gulf of thailand, now shifting over as well to the strait of malacca and north of sumatra which gives a sense of how massive the search area is and how they simply don't have a fix on where this plane might be. the gulf of thailand is relatively shall low, if you fall from 35,000 feet, experts said repeatedly the plane would shatter and you would find

debris on the ocean surface because many parts of a plane float. if they haven't found it in this heavy traversed area along the -- between the area between vietnam and malaysia and gulf of thailand relatively shallow body of water and now shifting over to the opposite side of the country, do they have any idea where this plane is? and i think the short answer is no. >> we should let the audience know, in andrea mitchell's interview with john brennan, he said we cannot rule out terrorism as one of the causes. we did hear from law enforcement with four possible explanations. noticeably absent were mechanical or structural issues but that doesn't mean those have been ruled out. >> i would read nothing into that. the individual speaking was a malaysian police officer speaking from a law enforcement

perspective. he was strictly speaking hypothetically from the police perspective what are his scenarios and he detailed them out. he omitted the possibility of a mechanical error, but i wouldn't read much into that. that's not his purview. i think mechanical problems, the possibility of a breach of a fuselage, the possibility as you said of terrorism or the possibility that the crew was incapacitated, everything is on the table at this point, but u.s. intelligence officials have also said thus far they've even nothing to suggest terrorism. >> thank you for that. i want to get to keir on the other end of the world in kuala lumpur. the search zone widened today. you were in heart of this and spent eight hours with a search team flying over the strait of malacca and you saw significant activity there today. tell us about your experiences. >> reporter: we were with the

malaysian military here playing a major role in this search and rescue operation. and we were in an area west of here called the malacca straits. while we were there we got the impression there was a particularly intense search happening there because we saw ships on the ocean searching as well and the crew that we were with told us that they had had communication over the hours we were there with seven other aircraft similarly searching. and now we have these reports from reuteres that say that the malaysian military tracked flight 370 heading towards the malacca straits, heading west from where the last signals were said to have appeared which is northeast of here, hundreds of miles over the south china sea. that suggests that it made a dramatic turn and headeded in a

different direction. we were there searching. at one point the plane that was very low over the ocean, sometimes just 500 feet, turned and made a very sharp bend and kept turning and kept turning. it was fairly stomach churning, because the crew thought they had seen some debris in the ocean below. they wanted to have another look. it is happening all the time. they had a closer look and on closer inspection they concluded it was simply more debris that had been left by fisherman, not evidence of where the aircraft was. so in the end, we were up there for eight hours and yet we didn't find anything. we found no clues. they've been going for four days. they say they will go back and back and back. >> approaching 100 hours after the plane disappeared, still no signs of it. we'll let you keep reporting from there today, thanks so

much. other headlines closer to home. bridget kelly took her fight to keep personal e-mails and documents out of the hands of the state investigatory committee. moved into mercer county courtroom today. a lawyer for the legislative panel made his case before the judge. >> the fact that as seem to be routine, people in the office of the governor, including miss kelly immediately take their communications off of the office of governor e-mails and put them into personal e-mails, is in fact exactly why we should be able to obtain these types of documents. >> and nbc news national investigative correspondent michael isikoff joins us from trenton. catch us up. there have been a lot of attractions and people may not have been focus on the latest from where you are in trenton. what have we seen today? and how effective was bill stepien's attorney with the

judge? >> reporter: actually, it was a pretty interesting legal argument about the contours of the fifth amendment privilege, fifth amendment right. reed schaar said that bridget kelly is critical to this investigation. in order for the legislative committee to find out what happened here, they have to know what was behind that famous e-mail time for traffic problems in ft. lee. where did that come from? did somebody order it? but her lawyers and bill stepien's lawyers have said, look, this subpoena that the committee is requesting is so broad and asking -- it's essentially asking them to testify against themselves by identifying documents, e-mails and text messages, they have that might in some way be related to those lane closures. first the judge mary jacobson had pretty sharp questions for schaar about the -- about the

subpoena and whether it was too overly broad, whether it was in fact requiring these two individuals to testify or provide documents that were in effect testimony. and she also got -- schaar to make a pretty important concession in the original arguments before the committee, schaar had argued that stepien and kelly were not facing -- there was no reasonable grounds for them to believe they were facing criminal prosecution. he conceded today that based on new evidence that their lawyers put in there about the scope of the u.s. attorney investigation, that he would no longer vigorously defend that position. in effect conceding they could well be criminally prosecuted based on the material that they might turn over. so it's going to be very interesting how this plays out and of course, the consequences are huge because depending on how the judge rules and what the appellate courts might decide, it's going to decide whether or not the public may learn more

about what was behind -- may ever get to the bottom of this. >> michael isikoff in trenton. we appreciate that report. thanks so much. millions of people in japan marked a somber anniversary today. it has been three years since that devastating tsunami killed close to 16,000 people, over 2500 remain unaccounted for. on march 11th, 2011, a 9.0 magnitude ermg quake followed by the tsunami left massive destruction in the wake, including crippling the fukushima nuclear plant and residents are still feeling the impact of that disaster years later. recovery efforts are moving ahead slowly. a lot of residents still displaced from their homes. some will never return to their contaminated neighborhoods.

i have grave concerns that the cia search may well have violated the separation of powers, principles embodied in the united states constitution, including the speech and debate clause. it may have undermined the constitutional framework essential to effective congressional oversight of intelligence activities or any other government function. striking accusations against the cia from senator dianne feinstein today. the senate intelligence committee chair claims the agency unlawfully spied and removed classified documents being used in the investigation into the cia's detention program conducted in the early 2000s. andrea asked the cia director,

john brennan to respond. >> thank you very much for doing this interview. the senate intelligence chair dianne feinstein went to the senate floor today and accused the cia under your leadership of a potentially illegal and unconstitutional search of senate intelligence computers to thwart a senate investigation into past practices of detention and interrogation, partly under your leadership then at the cia. what is your response to this accusation? >> first of all there's never been an effort by the cia to thwart the investigation. they have their congressional oversight responsibilities and we've worked with them on the past year on their report and look forward to working with them in the future. i know there are a lot of claims out there that the cia has sought to prevent them from doing its work but that is not the case at all. >> she said there was a document dump and no cooperation and despite that her teamwork, they came across this prior report which matched their own

investigation, that the practices were far more harsh than what has been acknowledged by the cia and that then the cia went into their computers and took documents out and were attempting to block their own investigation. >> again, we weren't trying to block anything. and the matter is being dealt with in the appropriate way, being looked at by the right authorities. and the facts will come out, but let me assure you that the cia in no way was spying on the senate. we greatly accept separation the powers and we'll do whatever possible to work with the committee in the future on its report. should they decide to submit the report to us for classification review, we're eager to work with them to put this chapter behind us because there's so many things in our plate right now for cia to handle worldwide in terms of conflicts and international tensions. we have to focus on the future. we want to learn in the past, which we have and we have done a

number of internal reviews, but i look forward to having this chapter of cia history behind us. >> she has gone to you privately in the past. you know dianne feinstein, what would prompt her to go to the senate floor and make a startling accusation to the whole world? this is not her past practice. this really does cross a bar. so she is obviously persuaded that the cia has not cooperated and that the cia has potentially broken the law and separation of powers under the constitution. >> i didn't know diane was going to go out on the senate floor today and didn't listen to her remarks. i have things i'm taking care of at cia. i look forward to talking with her and if there are issues she needs to address, my door is open. i have talked with chairman feinstein and chambliss on this matter a number of times. look forward to working with them collaboratively on this. i'm eager to do so but -- i've

heard things about her remarks but until i have a chance to actually take a look at them and talk with her, i reserve judgment. >> are you prepared to have the senate disclose everything that happened on your watch when you were involved in the interrogation practices during the bush years. >> there is a need for the senate to conclude its work and we're going to work with them. there have to be appropriate steps taken to make sure that we protect individuals that are involved and to make sure that there is going to be a balanced and even handed and accurate portrayal of that program. this is a review that was done just looking at the documentary evidence. there were no interviews that were done or whatever, but we're looking forward to working with the committee on this. we want to move forward. >> joining me now is andrea mitchell. as you just said the controversial practices took place where current cia director brennan was in charge of the interrogation program and said he would like to put this behind us and said there's a need for

the senate to conclude its work. but clearly this once again focuses new light, not just on the program but on the relationship between the senate intelligence committee and cia. >> it does indeed. when he was confirmed in his confirmation hearing before that committee, he said he wanted to restore the trust that had been breached between congress and the cia and other intelligence agencies. this is one of the worst breaches that i've seen in all of my years of covering it. the fact that senator feinstein went to the floor after months of trying to get a reaction, what angered her so much apparently was that the cia took action to refer this to the justice department rather than they being on the receiving end of an investigation, they wanted to investigate the senate for allegedly breaching cia intelligence computers. so she feels that she said today that they had slow walked this and instead of permitting the senate to investigate it on -- in house, that they insisted on a secure cia facility somewhere

in virginia. that they agreed to that and there was a document dump with as many as 6 to 8 million documents they had to go through that they were given a search tool by the cia and that's how they found this incriminating report under leon panetta and it disappeared from their own files. >> give us a better understanding of where this goes right now? the justice department, the inspector general of the cia turned it over to the justice department. where do we follow the tent cals of this going forward? >> the justice department now -- you've got the justice department of this administration now investigating the cia, which is in the executive branch, and also at the cia's request, investigating the senate. how can the cia be overseen by the senate given this adverse sarial relationship and how can the white house decide whether the cia has been rogue in this or not? i asked john brennan if he would resign if the facts come out as

feinstein alleged they are. he said that would be up to the president's decision. a little bit of history here, john brennan was the initial choice to be cia director and because of his past overseeing of those controversial intelligence and interrogation and detention practices under george bush, he withdrew his name from contention and later there was a lot of agreement that he was the best person according to both senate and the white house, the best person to do this because he was the head of counter terrorism for the white house, very trusted by president obama. they confirmed him and now they've got to deal with a really bad dispute over really important practices. this is a constitutional issue and it will be up to the justice department to decide whether laws were broken. >> and matter of minutes from now we should note to the audience at 12:30 today, jay carney is expected to brief reporters. obviously this is going to be a critical topic in the course of the conversation that takes place there. as we hear more information we'll pass that on.

you also focus part of your conversation on the issue of passport and how they relate to stolen passports as it were and how they relate to the malaysia aircraft. i want a second explanation on what you learned in that conversation as well. >> importantly, what he said, first of all, there are far too many breaches and stolen passports being used that after 9/11, we have some sort -- in these years let down our guard. but very importantly, he is not ruling out anything at all. there was no warning or chatter. there is some claim of responsibility since but nothing that's credible. he says that the fact that the trans ponder was turned off, it may have made a u-turn and this radio violence is very concerning and he's not ruling out some intentional act by the crew or passengers or terror related incident. >> andrea, we will see you shortly. thanks so much. >> you bet. thanks. coming up next, the daily

fix -- but first, comedy gold, the quirky humor from zach galifianakis, has made his show -- between two ferns", didn't change anything for this installment at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. >> how does this work, do you send ambassador rod man to korea on your behalf? or is that more of a job for tonya harding? >> zach, he's not our ambassador. ul way to cut through everyday greasy messes?

zach, have you heard of healthcare.gov. >> here we go. okay, let's get this out of the way. what did you come here to plug? >> first of all, i think it's fair to say that i wouldn't be with you here today if i didn't have something to plug. have you heard of the affordable care act? >> that's the thing that doesn't work? >> he says is that why they call us drones. that's not the last time you'll

see a clip like this from interview. the president's sit-down on "between two ferns" is everywhere, the latest example of the white house trying to get specifically young people to sign up for health care. joining me now chris cillizza and chris, we were counting on you to prepare ferns for the interview. >> i'm embarrassed, i would have grown my beard out. >> ruth marcus, haven't seen galifianakis for a while, a lot of facial hair going on there. this is what the president's team did so well, they harnessed the interest of young people, the internet, the timing here is pretty significant, 20 days until the deadline to enroll in obama care. first lady did fallon, president with galifianakis. i guess this is the strategy. >> peter, i think it's definitely a strategy and i think barack obama has been in front of many media types in

understanding how this sort of splintering of media and news consumption has sort of fundamentally altered how people get their information. remember, this is a president who sat down with bill simmons, a sports figure, who founded a site and did an interview with him. this is someone who sat down with steve harvey and gone on "the daily show" with jon stewart, six times. this is someone who i think understands that between two ferns, which i guarantee you my two parents have never heard of, is a place where if you're trying to reach the so-called young invincibles, it's a place he can gain credibility and get people to look at healthcare.gov. >> your parents are online three and say you are selling them short -- >> my mom always gets mad when i say stuff like that. >> a white house aide wrote to me and said we wouldn't be surprised if more people see

this than saw the state of the union. the republicans are realizing they have to get on board with it as well. >> maybe more people won't see it than saw the state of the union, but more of the people that they need to reach will see it more than the state of the union. my teenage college aged kids did not sit down the state of the union but wouldn't be surprised if they saw this. >> chris, another big story was new jersey, bridget kelly's appearance in court. i want to talk about governor christie and he had a good cpac performance and now we're back to the scandal. it follows him politically until this is resolved, doesn't it? >> here's the problem for him. he's got these two investigations, he has the federal investigation and the investigation by the new jersey assembly going on at the same time. that will mean more court appearances, more documents to come out. this is a situation that frankly will get worse from a public relations perspective, i don't

know from a legal perspective, but from a public relations perspective will get worse before it gets better. he's trying the cpac speech and town halls and trying to get back to normal. that's all he can do. he can't control who says what when and what comes out when. but it is going to always be sort of a track of news that is out there that he and his team will have to keep at least one eye on. >> ruth, closing thought on that? >> he's soldiering through but eventually it's a really interesting legal question, i was speed reading court cases about whether she's going to have to turn over the documents, but i think one way or another, prosecutors if not the state body, investigative body, are going to get them. and chris christie's ultimate question and fate is what's in them. >> ruth marcus, chris cillizza, thank you. next, the impact of syria's civil war on children.

bill, i want to start with you. tell me about this documentary. you've covered war and conflict in so many regions and too often it's the children whose stories are lost. >> reporter: well, that's right and there were so many other heartbreaking stories of children. i talked to one family of six children who are actually all now orphans who escaped from an area under siege for a year and eat grass and weeds on the day they kobt find grass, they bought it for $3 a bag. heart rendering stories the united nations say this is one of the worst places to be a child. when i asked them and said, where else is worse? they mentioned the central african republic. the casualty rates don't match up. 10,000 children at least have been killed here in syria in

three years. 40,000 injured. a million are in areas under siege or in areas where it's hard to help them and aid can't get there and millions more rely on aid simply to survive. it is the greatest humanitarian catastrophe of our times. the big question is, what on earth inside syria can be done about it? >> nancy, i want to ask you about the unicef numbers that we saw today saying 5.5 million children need medical help, psychological help, some of the statistics putting on the screen are so staggering, 1.2 million child refugees. you're at one of the hospitals that's tasked with treating so many families. what has struck you most on the ground there? >> what struck me is the fact that children are dying from diseases that could absolutely be prevented. simple thing like nutrients and

prenatal vitamins that women aren't getting. women are crossing the border malnourished and under stress and haven't had the proper nourishme nourishment. the number of birth defects is as electronomically high. for those babies healthy enough to be born and go to refugee camps, they are being readmitted with respiratory problems and diarrhea. this is a medical crisis unlike anything i've seen before because it's note contained and it's heartbreaking. this is the first time, peter, i have been in a situation like this where this morning all of the crying really got to me. i knewthy weren't children just crying and having temper tantrums, every child crying was because he or she was truly hurting. >> you reported what you saw may be the first case of polio. we know how easily that can spread within the refugee communities that are massive cities where people are living side by side. what new concern does that

raise? >> reporter: the suspected case of polio is literally across the hallway from where i am right now, an 18-month-old about ten days ago had a sore throat and runny nose and very compatible with early stages of polio. the right side of the body is paralyzed. people here are taking is seriously, enough that the world health organization and unicef officials swept in and interviewed mom and checked baby. we're waiting right now on samples of stool, spinal fluid and a swab of the throat. those samples have been sent to cairo and we'll know in the next 24 to 48 hours. if it is, it's the first documented case in lebanon and lebanese health officials are taking it very seriously. this can spread like wildfire and this is in a partially or underimmunized refugee

population and makes the lebanese children also at risk. >> bill, just finally and briefly, is there any hope among the children that you had a chance to visit with or do they have a sense that the world has abandoned them? >> reporter: well, they do and there is evidence in fact that the world is abandoning them. the u.n. has put an appeal for funds but only 12% of those funds have actually come forward and the u.n. is unable to do a lot of work it wants to do. the u.n. is calling on all sides in this conflict to stop targeting children and to end the violence. that's fallen on deaf ears as well. this crisis is accelerating. the death toll is getting worse. so as we enter the fourth year of syria's war, there is very little help and hope for the children of syria. >> bill neely, nancy snyderman, your reporting has been excellent. we'll continue to watch it.

be safe and we appreciate what you're doing. >> thanks, peter. the non-profits for children has been incredibly active caused by syria's civil war. joining us by skype from amman, jordan, is the middle east regional director roger hern. i appreciate you taking time to talk with us as well. you face what is just an overwhelming challenge right now to treat massive numbers of young children who need assistance from psychological, as we noted, medical, simply food as kids have reported eating grass and weeds. what is the most urgent need that you're trying to accommodate? >> pleasure to be with you. it's hard nowadays to look at what specific need that children have inside syria and surrounding countries. we're looking at a crisis that's beyond belief in terms of children who need basic food. children are starving to death in some areas in the siege

areas. most preently, and just yesterday, save the children released a report, a devastating toll which talks about the collapse of the health system inside syria. and the devastating impact that it's having on children. we are seeing children dying now of treatable diseases such as asthma. we're seeing reemergence as your reporter just informed people, not only in lebanon but inside syria of diseases such as po poleyoe and measles. save the children has an incredible moving ad i saw for first time before coming here to speak with you. it's sort of visualizes the impact ever war on the children. it shows a young child who starts with her family blowing out candles at the birthday party and second shows how rapidly the lives of these

refugee children change where civil war and malnutrition and lack of medicine can alter they are lives. 23 million hits as i have seen. what is the desire with this video? is it about jolting people out of their indifference? >> absolutely. the key message here is to say, look, there are innocent victims of this crisis and just imagine if it was your child in the united states and australia or united kingdom. we have to think beyond this. this was a country where literally a few years ago people -- it was a middle income country and people o could live a relatively okay life. now children's lives are being decemb decimated in the country. >> skype is never a great way to have the conversations but the information is too important not to pass along. thanks for your time. >> there are many ways you can help and just a few of them, handful of resources we have on the screen as we keep track of this list, you can find more on

nbc's continuing coverage of syria's children of war and the live documentary on nbc news.com. it's worth passing on. we're going to be right back. hey kevin...still eating chalk for hearburn? yea. try alka seltzer fruit chews. they work fast on heart burn and taste awesome. these are good. told ya! i'm feeling better already. alka-seltzer fruit chews. enjoy the relief!

as you now this is under investigation, these matters are under two separate investigations, an i.g. review and referral to the department of justice. i'm not going to provide an analysis or assessment -- >> the referral justice of department is not necessarily an investigation. >> i would refer you to the justice department they may or may not take. this is because of a referral because of the ig review. in terms of allegations about activity, i'm not going to get into that. what i can say is you saw the cia director say today that if there was any inappropriate activity by cia or staff, he would want to get to bottom of it and the president would agree with that. >> but john brennan was clearly careful in his language this morning. he said there hadn't been any cia hacking of the senate intel computer network. can you at least say that the

white house was aware there was a search that happened? >> any specifics about the charges, i'm not going to get into. what i can tell you is a couple of things. it's important to stand back and look at what we're talking about here. we're talking about an investigation into activities that occurred under the previous administration that then candidate barack obama strenuously opposed that he promised to end and which he ended very shortly after being sworn into office. he supports the president does and administration does the committee's investigation, the president has made clear he seeks the declassification of the findings of that report when it is completed. so i think that's important as a starting point. and again, when it comes to the interactions between the agency on the one hand and committee on the other, these are matters that are under review by an ig and are the subject of a referral to the justice

department. i'm not going to get into specifics about allegations. >> senator feinstein said that in 2010 when the cia she alleges took documents off of its computer network she brought this to the white house and had a conversation with the white house council. do you know if she brought this matter of the january search to the white house council? >> again, i don't have -- i don't have a specific readout of any meeting. what i is say white house council would get involved because of institutional concerns surrounding these matters. even if in this case matters that involve a previous administration or previous white house. >> so the white house counsel has been involved in conversations about this january search matter? >> that's not what i said. i don't have a specific -- >> you said they would be involved -- >> they would be involved in discussions about some of the issues between the committee and cia because of institutional

concerns involving prerogatives in national security issues. again, this having to do with previous administration or previous white house. >> has the president or any senior staff spoken to john brennan about this matter? >> again, well, let me just say, folks here and in the administration have been in regular consultation with chairman feinstein about the broughter issues here. we made clear we want to see the report findings declassified and there have been conversations as a routine matter between the administration and white house and director and the chairman. >> jay -- >> go to mark. >> i want to ask about malaysia briefly. is the fbi not sending a team? have the other u.s. officials participating in the investigation arrived and any reports that you can talk about? also, could you comment on -- >> you've been listening to jay carney as he addresses dianne

feinste feinstein's accusation that cia was involved in illegally searching intelligence committee computers while they were trying to investigate past practices relating to the detention and interrogation efforts in this country. as we heard andrea a short time ago, jay carney trying to make it clear this is an administration -- this happened under the last administration, saying specifically they are investigating activities that happened under the bush administration but the hacking accusations happened under the obama administration. >> exactly. and in fact, he may try to understandably trying to distance himself but when he's saying some would argue is a little bit too narrowly defined. he's saying that the interrogation and detention practices being investigated happened under george bush. but it also happened under john brennan when john brennan was working at the cia. and the hacking and intrusion

into the senate intelligence computers that is alleged, happened completely under the cia -- in this administration after leon panetta left the cia. >> to be clear, within the last hour or so, he said they did not hack into the cia and computers and when you asked whether he should resign and him saying that's up to the president. the question was raised and jay carney punted that one as well. >> brennan is very close to this president. despite being involved in the bush era tactics, the interrogation practices and policies, speaks to just how close he is. if you look at all of the information going back, you see how close an adviser he has been to this president in the white house. and his primecy in the intelligence community because

of his connection to the president. it would take a lot for barack obama to distance himself or to seek to in any way discipline the cia under john brennan. but this is a very serious accusation from dianne feinstein. >> it took a lot for her to make this allegation public after she said she was unable to solve it as she directly communicated it to the cia earlier. >> very briefly, a lot of critics of the intelligence community have been critical of her for being too protective and not being a tough enough overseer but in this case she feels she was lied to and the committee's purview has been invaded. >> we appreciate it space travel at cfr ten minutes ago and now sitting with us. >> thanks. >> that's going to do it for "andrea mitchell reports. follow the show online and on
