this as nbc news has learned that investigators are looking into whether president trump himself met with russian ambassador sergei kislyak, a central figure in the investigation. and a date for the highly anticipated testimony of former fbi director james comey is now set, one week from today. and comey will speak publicly in open session for about three hours or so, before continuing that hearing behind closed doors. now, he is expected to talk about his interactions with president trump, but he's not expected to go into the investigation itself. either way, leon, a lot of people looking forward to hearing what he has to say. back to you. >> that's for sure. all right, blayne alexander, thanks for that. new reaction to the report that two russian compounds in the u.s. may be returned to the russian government. one is on maryland's eastern shore, the other, long island. we sent chopper4 to take a look at that maryland property. youoo
6:09 pm
back in december, president obama said the compounds were used for spying. the properties were seized. now "the washington post" reports that trump's administration is considering a plan to allow russia to re-occupy the properties without giving anything in return. the top democrat on the house intelligence committee told nbc news today that he would be horrified if the properties are returned without concessions from moscow. adding to the intrigue, the russian embassy sent a tweet ten days ago, threatening unspecified counter measures if the property is not returned to moscow's control. and vladimir putin made an interesting reversal today when he hinted that private russian hackers may have been involved in the cyber attacks during our presidential campaign. he had previously denied any russian role at all. nbc's megyn kelly is in russia, and she will ask putin about the shift in an exclusive one-on-one interview. you can see her reporting on the
