first, nbc chief white house correspondent hallie jackson. >> good morning. >> good morning to you. this morning for the firstim since thatestimony, the president himself is responding to james comey. he's doing it where else? on twitter. writing today, despite so many false statements and lies, total and complete vindication, adding, and wow, comey is a leaker. the president picking out the parts he prefers from comey's testimony, but implying much of the rest of what comey said under oath wasn't true. we'll hear from the president later today when he's set to hold a news conference and likely try to take a kind of victory lap. this morning team trump arguing james comey didn't deliver a knackout blow after his pull no punches testimony. >> those were lies. >> reporter: those pushbacks following the claims comey was fired. >> i know he was fired because

conducting the russia investigati was putting pressure on him in some way and irritating him. >> reporter: the president's son saying his father is ready to move on. >> i think now that thiss l past, hcagoacto doing what he promised he was going to do. >> reporter: the president not saying whether he believes comey told the truth, but his lawyer did. zeroing in on comey's claims the president asked him to let flynn go, referring to fired national security adviser michael flynn. >> the president never in form or substance directed or suggested that mr. comey stop investigating anyone. the president also never told mr. comey, quote, i need loyalty. i expect loyalty. >> flynn had no comment arriving in d.c. overnight. and the president had no comment online either thursday. turning not to his twitter followers but his faith at a speech

>> the bible tells us we know that the truth will prevail. >> reporter: but the truth is what comey thinks the president has a problem with. >> i was honestly concerned he might lie about the nature of our meeting so i thought it important to document it. >> reporter: comey acknowledged the president was not under investigation during his tenure and that the president did not try to stop the fbi's russia inquiry. comey was less conclusive when it came to their conversation about flynn. >> do you sense the president was trying to obstruct justice? >> i'm sure the special council will work toward that conclusion. >> reporter: that a confirmation. the committee is looking into it. a special council comey might be triggered by sharing his own written account of the flynn conversation. >> i asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo with the reporter. asked him to beca

that might prompt the appointment of a special council. >> reporter: the president's lawyer painting comey as a leaker made days after the president tweeted about tapes of the conversation. >> i've seen the tweet about tapes. lordy, i hope there are tapes. release them. i'm good with it. >> reporter: it wasn't just the trump administration in t spotlight. here's comey on loretta lynch asking him to call the hillary clinton a matter, not an investigation. >> we had an investigation open at the time, and so that gave me a kweezy feeling. >> reporter: a person familiar with lynch's feeling tells nbc comey never said at the time he wasn't comfortable with the matter which lynch used so as not to confirm or deny an investigation. the senate intelligence committee expects the president's son-in-law to meet with committee staffers this month. two sources familiar with the planning are telling nbc news the committee expects kushner will meet wita

documents and take questions. a third source the timing conversation is still ongoing. all of this an conversation that despite the president's claims he's been vindicated, the russia information will remain front and center. >> all right. hallie jackson, thank you. corey lewandowski is a close confidant of the president. james comey called the sitting president a liar multiple times. he did it under oath. he did it seriously. he basically said i will stake my reputation as a career prosecutor who kept notes, my word against the president's. who do you think the people will believe this morning? >> i think what we've seen with jim comey's testimony not just yesterday but in thpa is he's made numerous mistakes when sworn in under oath. the previous time he had to go back and clarify his statements because he made a number of misstatements. wh

indication, any reaso whatsoever, he ever thought the president did something obstructing justice, he is obligated under 18 u.s. code section 4 to report that. if he does not, he is guilty of a felony. >>. >> he's said i turned my memos of my conversations db. >> to the new york times. >> but also -- >> after he gave them to the new york times. >> wait a second. i've turned them over. wouldn't it be a great idea the tapes president trump tweeted about, let him turn those over to robert muller and let robert mueller decide. >> the story out of yesterday who was repeated by jim comey was the president, candidate president trump, president-elect trump has never been under investigation. that was clear. he told the president directly he was never under investigation, and now all of a sudden james comey who was the fbi director, was so stunned

conversation with the presidt of the united stas, he didn't know how to report this to the white house council or the associated attorney general -- >> wait a minute. you don't get to have it both ways. if you like some of it -- don't you like the part where he said the president's not under investigation? wait a minute. >> he gave notes to a colombia law professor because he wasn't man enough to give the notes directly to the media when he wanted them out. >> what's happening y a presumably the president are saying comey is telling the truth when it's good for the president. when it's bad for the president, comey's not telling the truth. that's not honest. >> either you are or you are not under investigation. it's clear. you can't be kind of under investigation. and director comey said the president has never been under investigation. >> he also said he -- the president, demanded a loyalty oath. would you agree that woue

inappropriate. >> it's subjective. if it was inappropriate, if jim comey was so concerned about it -- mind you, he also testified his boss at the time asked him to speak about an ongoing investigation in a manner that was uncomfortable. to change the words. >> is it ever appropriate for a sitting president to ask an acting fbi director for loyalty? >> look, he has to be loyal to the country. >> to the country, not the president. >> the president didn't say he wanted -- >> is it ever appropriate for a sitting president to ask an acting fbi director to let go of an investigation into a close associate. >> he said i hope we can get this resolved. >> i hope you can let this go. >> and what director comey said yesterday under oath was in his experience, he has never hoped something would happen -- >> the last one, is it ever appropriate for a sitting president to clear everyone else out of a room and keep

fbi director in that room and ask him about an active investigation? >> you know why that's appropriate? because jim comey is the one who originally asked for a one on one meeting with then president-elect trump on january 6th in trump tower. >> president-elect trump, not president trump. that was to brief him on a dossier. >> a false dossier which he knew was false. jim comey asked for the private meeting the first time, and so the pattern was set by jim to say i want a private meeting with then president-elect trump. >> to be clear on the facts. all the counterterrorism folks came to brief the president and comey stayed after to avoid em barrett for the president's sake. you should know thiis out there. quickly, because it seems like there is debate over what really happened, what was said in the oval office? the president hinted he has tapes. comey says release the tapes. i give you permission. you're free to do so.

tapes? are there tapes? >> i don't work for the white house or in the white house. i don't know if tapes were or are made. if they are, i think jim comey's credibility is at about zero. that's from the democratsho questionedim the fbi director not that long ago. it's when the republicans questioned him yesterday. ja senator rubio said the only leak not soming out of the fbi is that president trump was not under investigation. >> would they say release the tapes? >> i think the conversation didn't take place in the oval office. i think jim was referring to a discussion they had over dinner where they were -- >> the president-elect suggest head had tapes. >> he said i hope there are tapes, not there are. >> you said hope again. >> nothing wrong with hope. >> let's bring in nicole wallace. what were the big questions that

comey's testimony? >> if you needed any more evidence that we live in two americas, cory gave it to you. i think trump's enthusiasts are going to stare at the trees they want to see the forest. the others will paint the picture of the forest they'd like to live in. the truth is what we learned is donald trump had a lot of interactions with comey as president-elect and president. in none of them did he ask a single question about the veracity of russia's mettling in america's democracy. that to me is the most troubling and really the big structural sort of blow for the president is that he's always worried about his personal legal ei equitiesnder im, l liabiliti of mike flynn. >> it is interesting, cory, we'll let you back in. it is interesting to me. on the one hand

things that were prab problematic with his testimony. it's a fair criticism on the issue of leaking to the new york times rather than going through the congress or what dianne feinstein asked him about, why didn't you stand up right then and there, but there are damaging parts to the president. >> comey testified under oath. he knew jeff sessions was going to recuse himself. he made that statement knowing saying i know attorney general jeff sessions was going to recuse himself. he didn't recuse himself until march 2nd. >> actually, he said we had good reason to believe he was going to recuse himself. he dropped something else. i'm going to play it for you right now. >> our judgment, as i recall, was that he was very close to and inevitably going to recuse himself for a variety of reasons. we also were aware of facts that i can't discuss in an open setting that would make his continung

russia-related investatn problematic. >> he chooses his words carefully. he just dangled something there. if you're the president of the united states, do you walk in to jeff sessions today and say what are they talking about? what else is there? >> no. what we've seen from jim comey is his goal is to manipulate the press. he's everything thas in washington whatpe mch 1st, there wasimpressive story about attorney general jeff sessions and his unreported meeting with kislyak. there was no formal way to remove an attorney general from an investigation except public pressure. jeff sessions recused himself the following day. testimony was i knew he was going to recuse himself, probably because he leaked it. >> i worked for

seven years, i met one russian in all those years. everyone in and around trump and everyone around him was breaking bread with russians all the time. and when it came time to testify they either lied about the meetings, left them off their forms. i think what comey was references was we had reason to believe sessions wasn't going to make it. at some point he hadn't been truthful about an interaction with a russian. it's always russians. it's always about russia. >> just for fun, cory, has the president ever leaked anything? has he ever been an anonymous source? have you ever seen him talk to a reporter. >> he's the most -- >> one openness is another man's leaker. >> really have to guy they're telling us. thank you both. another major story breaking overnight. upheaval in britain over shocking election results. an election called for by prime minister tsa
