comey christmas comes early. >> can you feel the an anticipation? i can feel it. i can feel it. ♪ comey in the air tonight, o lord ♪ thank you very much. >> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" presented by toyota. let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." former fbi director james comey is ready for what could be historic testimony on capitol hill. it all starts at 10:00 a.m. eastern, and we will bring it to you live here on cbs. comey will tell the senate intelligence committee that president trump told him he needed and expected his personal loyalty. >> james comey will also testify that in february mr. trump asked him to drop the fbi investigatan

national security adviser michael flynn, saying, i hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, letting flynn go. and according to comey weeks later he wantewanted to, quote, the cloud with regard to the russian meddling. >> comey told the president three times he was not being investigated. john dickerson and jan crawford are in our studio 57 this morning and we have nancy cordes and jeff pegues on capitol hill. we'll begin with nancy. good morning. >> good morning. it's hard to recall a hearing in recent years that has attracted more attention. comey will be sitting right here, and there's a reason why he released his opening statement in advance. he wanted to give these 17 senators a chance to absorb what was said in those conversations between him and the president before they pepper him with

>> this testimony has all the makings of a bomb shil. >> the release of comey's prepared remarks added more intreelg to his highly anticipated testimony. >> each piece of evidence that jim comey is raising in his testimony points toward obstruction of justice. >> the ousted fbi director describes a private dinner with the president just seven days after the inauguration where president trump informed him, i need loyalty, i expect loyalty. comey said he didn't move, speak, or change my facial expression in any way during the awkward silence that followed. he said he viewed the conversation as an effort to create some sort of patronage relation ship. in the next conversation, trump urged him to let go of the investigation of national security adviser michael flynn. comey said he felt it was inappropriate and asked attorney

the future communications between himself and mr. trump. but a little over a month later the president called comey at the fbi asking him to get the fact out that he was not personally under investigation. comey told him he 45- to 60-minute nothing to do with russia, nothing do with hookers involved in russia, a dossier obtained by russia. >> if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it must be a duck. >> republican richard burr who chairs the senate intelligence committee told reporters i don't think from what i've read there's evidence of wrongdoing. >> to the best of my recollection, i have never done anything i believe to be illegal, immoral, unethical, or inappropriate. >> they both told the committee yesterday that they could not share details of their private conversations with the president

asked to downplay the russian investigation. >> i'm asking whether or not you have ever been asked by anyone to influence an ongoing investigation. >> i understand, but i'm just not going to go down that road. >> senators were frustrated. especially since robert mueller had not put any restrictions on their testimony. based on his opening remarks, comey will be much less restrained today possibly, norah, because he's now a private citizen who no longer has a relationship with the president to manage. >> great reporting, nancy. thank you so much. the white house is already pushing back against james comey. margaret brennan is there to try to get ahead of the testimony. good morning. >> good morning. the loudest pushback today is likely to come from the president's own twitter feed and a group of former trump administration and campaign

officials. their rapid response team and an affiliated group has already hit the airwaves. they're called america first policies. it's likely to push back the president's lawyer's words who said last night the president feels completely and totally vindicated by comey's admission when he told the president he's not personally under any investigation. according to comey's prepared remarks, he will testify that was true, we did not have an open counterintelligence case on him, i offered that assurance. but the fbi probe into russian meddling election is ongoing and comey felt it unwise to publicly say trump was not under public investigation in case new information was uncovered. comey has not spoken since he was fired back on may 9th and he'll be closely scrutinized.

center on whether the president intended to obstruct justice or whether these conversations, gayle, were simply inappropriate. >> thank you very much, margaret. as the fired fbi director prepares to testify, the man chose on the replace him is also in the spotlight today. christopher wray is a well established washington lawer who was an assistant attorney general under former president george w. bush. he led the investigation while comey was deputy attorney general. jeff pegues is outside fbi headquarters with that part of the story. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it appears wray steps into one of the toughest jobs in washington right now. the fbi facing scrutiny and there is uncertainty ahead. comey's firing left a hole in the bureau. if confirmed as its next director, chris wray's mission would be to bring stability to the fbi and its more than 35,000 employees. president trump who

impeccably qualified individual and a fierce guardian of the law. >> he understands how to operate under crises. he understands how the agency works. >> reporter: roscoe howard, a former u.s. attorney works with wray at the doa shoo i would be shocked if he had some sort of political agenda. it's just not the chris wray i've come to know. >> reporter: a graduate of yale law, just before 911 he became associate attorney general and later moved on to handle the justice department's criminal division. last year he served as chris christie's layer hired to navigate the bridgegate scandal. former justice department officials spoke highly of wray, describing him as the right man at the right time for the nation and the fbi, a person of extraordinary integrity, and someone who simply doesn't make

mistakes. wray will likely take charge, law enforcement tells cbs news, in general, this is not a great time at the fbi. roscoe howard said it's clear the fbi is embracing for a challenge position. >> i think we'd be all foolish to think there's no turmoil going on. is it chaotic? sure. but any more chaotic than 9/11? no. >> reporter: that will be tough do for a someone who has a voracious appetite for testimony. >> thanks. the senate judiciary, house oversight and house intelligence committees are also holding heroes on the issue. congressman adam schiff is a member of the house committee. good mornin

>> why do you believe in the opening state of comey there's an indication of obstruction of justice including chair of the intelligence committee is saying they don't see anything like that? >> there's certainly evidence here and if you were prosecuting a case of obstruction, you would admit the entirety of comey's testimony, there's not a judge on the land that would think otherwise. we have not heard the oral testimony of jim comey. what i would like to try to find out in today's testimony among other things because i think we have seen a lot of the outline of what he has to say is who would be able to corroborate this testimony, who did he share this information with, what can he tell us about the notes that he took and when he took them, what else can he tell us about some of the details around these conversations. but if you have evidence as we do now that the president

demanded loyalty from the fbi director in a conversation where he dangles the director's job before him, then asks him to drop a part of the investigation, lift the russian cloud and fires him when he doesn't do any of this, to say that doesn't constitute obstruction of justice, i think you have to be willfully looking in the other direction. >> in terms of corroboration, he said he shared the memos with the leadership at the time. but let me ask you this. do you see intent on behalf of the president in terms of obstruction of justice? >> well, you know, this is one of the key issues. that is you have jim comey's perception of what this might mean. you have the actual statements themselves. we're going to want, i think, as much detail as jim comey can provide about those conversations. were there any other statements that would shed light on the president's intention. and in this respect, this is why

answer the question" from witnesses like director coats and director roerjs because if he had conversation with some of the other intelligence agency heads, that's further evidence. some of what i believe he'll say as is in the written testimony is that the president sent everybody out of the room. why do that unless you're conscious that what you're about to ask is not an appropriate request. >> it seems you're looking what he did not say in the opening statement, that you need something else to make the case for obstruction of justice. >> no, i wouldn't put i that way. i would say from the four corners of his statement largely what his testimony will be. i academy siem he's going to testify completely consistent with that and i would have to disagree with my colleague lindsey graham.

worried about testifying has nothing do with it. rather i think it shows confidence jim comey will be consistent in his testimony before the senate and in any later proceeding, but i wouldn't read anything into that conclusion one way or the other. >> congressman schiff, thank you very much. >> thank you. right now cbs correspondent john dickerson of "face the nation" is here along with cbs correspondent jan crawford. good morning. >> good morning. >> first this. i keep thinking about this. this is a legacy-shaping day today, not just for the former fbi director but also how the president himself responds. >> that's true. there are a lot of senators who are going to think about their legacy as they ask questions themselves. there's going to be a lot of show here. th

the questions here is whether the president crossed boundaries. it's been a question that's been throughout his presidency. so if he is live tweeting this event, it's another opportunity. it's an opportunity for him to get his message out but another opportunity to cross boundaries again. >> jan, let's go through this too. the first meeting comey describes in his opening statement today, the first meeting in trump tower where they meet alone, sets the stage for the heart of the relationship. comey presents this dossier with salacious details. >> right. it's written in such a dramatic way. the narrative -- i was kind of waiting for "it's a dark and stormy night when we gathered at trump tower," which i think is what he intended, digestible for the public, so they could be taken in on this side of the event. when you look at the encounters he describes for the

that's troubling. it doesn't sound good. is that evidence for obstruction? potentially. but is it obstruction on its face? that's what we're going to see a lot of today. >> isn't it interesting that dona donald's layers say he is totally vindicated. have you jumped the gun? >> it's going to be political. he's obviously trying to say that the president wanted those assurances out there. he gets very frustrated that they weren't and the question is comey said he couldn't make it public because it might have changed. >> adam schiff said to both of you, he's looking for conversations with comey that he may have had with other people. we do not know who they are. >> he said it after these various points. >> how did they word it? how did they confirm what he said? >> he's got the memos to confirm. the thing we have to not

it's not just the seven pages and the influence of the investigation. it was the fact that the fbi director himself was fired. there was a link between loyalty and performance and that went throughout their conversations. and then in the end, the threat that comey thought was implicit in his thoughts of what the president said came to be. he was fired for not doing what the president wanted. that was part of it in addition to the outline in the opening statement. >> but did the question fire him because he did not dmo what i want? >> he said it in his conversation on television with lester holt. >> of course, the president is head of the executive branch. he gets to fire executive branch officials who don't implement the policies that he sees fit. he might have said, i fired mike flynn, put your policies and resources elsewh

that he's n that's not it. >> we look forward to your live coverage. the cbs special report will begin at 10:00 a.m. eastern, 9:00 central here on cbs and on our cbsn network. bill cosby hopes to poke holes in his sexual assault

this morning and the line goes around the corner all the way down the hall around the next corner. literally hundreds of people and a lot of people are senate interns. they're here to see history being made an and their senate i.d.s got them in early and so they're kind of hogging the seats up there. we know what he'll say. he'll said mr. trump asked him what we can do, quote, to lift over the cloud." he said, hope you can let this go, referring to the michael flynn investigation. several times mr. trump pressed comey to pledge his loyalty. the big question is what comey will say beyond his released opening statement. we know he will not make a legal argument but he will tell his side of the story. senators on both sides of the aisle are expected to push him to reveal more. one thing that's important to

investigation into meddling, the congressional meddling has been going on for months and there's no solid evidence of wrongdoing by the trump campaign. one reason the hearing is so heavily anticipated is because comey is first major witness to testify publicly about what happened. charlie? >> thanks, chep. here's a look at this morning's other headlines from around the globe. the telegraph in london reports on the election in britain. prime minister theresa may cast her vote this morning. jeremy corbyn, the opposition labor party also voted. may's conservative party is hoping to make big gains in parliament, but a poll yesterday showed it is only a small lead over the labor party, 42% to 88%. north korea fired several cruise missiles. were launched from north korea's east coast. ey

missiles. they landed in waters between the korean peninsula and japan. the tests came after south korea said it was suspending the deployment of an american anti-missile system. the missoulion says greg gianforte apologized to the reporter. you may remember when he slammed the reporter to the ground when he asked about the report. he said, my sincere apology. my physical rae response to your legitimate question was unprofessional, unacceptable, and u unlawful and he also promised to make a $50,000 donation to a group that protects journalists. the reporter has accepted the apology. a man's clothing caught fire during a crash with a car being chased by officers. police confirm he was not the suspect. the friend oe

hospitalized with severe burns. the mayor said the officers will be fired and could face criminal charges. the key witness in bill cosby's sexual assault trial stood by her story over two days of cross-examination. andrea constand was on the stand for over four heres yes. cosby's attorney tried to reveal inconsistencies in her account based on phone records. he looked down at the table for most of it. senior legal analyst rikky klieman is here. good to see you. >> gonice to see zblu how was s? >> she's really good for the prosecution. she's very strong. she comes across as together, sensible, someone who is willing to say what she doesn't remember and sticks to her story. so for the prosecution, they have to be really pleased with

her. and, in fact, if i were the prosecutor, i would have put her on first because i think she was the stronger of the two women. >> her mother also testified. >> he mother follows up after the defense cross-examination. i want to get to the defense side of that too. but her mother, i do think is strong because what her mother shows us is what happens when you have to see your daughter start to fall apart and not understand why. then you find out your daughter says she was sexually assaulted and mother makes phone calls to bill cosby and then has the ability to say what he related to her and, in fact, taped some of those calls. >> so what does the defense have to do sh. >> well, the defense is in a bind here. the defense can do all they want to try to cross-examine her as they did for many, many hours and say, well, look, you called him 53 times after this alleged sexual assault. you had been to his home for intimate dinners before

sexual assault. you had laid on a bed next to him at foxwoods casino before the sexual assault. and you even brought him gifts after the sexual assault. so, really, what's your story, miss constand, says the defense. is the story that you really wanted this kind of encounter with him? was it consensual, and then did you decide because perhaps you were embarrassed that you wanted to make a little money by suing him. >> how does she answer those questions? >> she is solid. she's unafraid of saying, look, he was at temple university, he was a powerful trustee, i had to answer his phone calls. i called him back. >> she was a coach. >> she was a coach. she said, there was nothing i did that would have made me -- that i would have done in any other way. i needed to talk to him about this but i didn't know how. we also have to remember, norah, this is

this is nois not 2017. attitudes about sexual assault and how women act and react and how jurors perceive them. >> you say the first witness you would have called was andrea. the first is kelly johnson. >> i think calling kelly johnson first was a mistake. i don't think ultimately it will make a mistake but kelly johnson is someone who's not as good a witness and beefing up kelly johnson's testimony by her mother and lawyer is not the best thing. she's not the main witness. >> you say lead with strength. >> yes. >> rikki klieman, thank you so much. more than ever nasa is relying on companies like space ex to grow. ahead, whether their plans with commercial partners could put the space agency's own goals at

> . it is thursday, june 8th, 2017. welcome back to "cbs this morning". former fbi director james comey tells congress about president trump's one-on-one request. ahead, republican senator lindsey graham tells about why he believes comey's prepared statement helps the president. but first here is today's "eye opener" at 8:00. former fbi directoram jomes cey is ready for what could be historic testimony on colapit hill. >> it's har to recad to recall n recent years that has attracted more ntatteion. comey will sit right here today. >> it's hard tono

was obstruction of justice or just inappropriate. >> he asked to lift the russian d clouand then fires him. to say that doesn't constitute any evidence of obstruction, i think you have to be willfully looking in the other direction. >> for trump, that doesn't sound good. could it be evidence of obstruction? potentially. >> how the president responds will be fascinating. >> countdown to comey. in just hours the ousted fbi director testifies on his conversations with president trump. >> it's a huge moment. everyone is going to be watching. >> people are calling comey's testimony washington's super bowl. yeah. and i hear "animal planet" is even airing the "puppy comey testimony." here's a live look from room 216id

office building. that's where in just two hours former fbi director james comey will speak publicly for the first time since president trump fired him. i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. he leased his opening statement yesterday at his request. it previews what he will say in one of the most highly anticipated congressional hearings in years. >> james comey says the president told him, quote, i need loyalty, i expect loyalty during a white house dinner. the statement also confirms reporting that mr. trump asked comey to let go of the investigation. a former national security adviser michael flynn. >> and james comey told the president three times he was not under personal investigation. we have these stories covered from montscow to washington. good morning. >> the top democrat on this committee, virginia's mark

conversations between the president and comey as disturbing. in his opening statement warner will say this not how a president of the united states behaves. now, he's referring to comey's written testimony released questioned that describes a series of one-on-one meetings that comey himself says he thought were very concerninglet he described for instance a january dinner at the white house where there was an awkward silence after the president told comey point blank i need almighty. in subsequent conversations he asked comey to help lift the cloud of the russian investigation. comey told him the fbi was investigating the matter as quickly as we could. now, senators are going to have seven minutes o each to question comey today. there are 17 of them. this could go into a second round, so he'll definitely be here for a while, guys. >> nancy,ing that you so much. a recent poll finds 56% of americans believe mr. trump

interfering with the russian investigation. margaret brennan is at the white house. margaret, usually the president is active on twitter, but he's been silent so far. >> norahing you're tempting fate, but we have seen some of the suggested tweets reporters have been asked to post. there's a rap ud response team of former trump administration and campaign-affiliated supporters who will be live responding on twitter and elsewhere, really on the effects of james comey's testimony. we've seen talk distributed to reporters to give an idea. the spin is the following. they're going to claim comey proves there's no evidence of collusion between the trump campaign and russia but that's a conclusion the fbi has not reached because the probe into the russian meddling is still ongoing. they're also going to claim the president never obstructed the fbi probe. however, comey will go to pains not to

judgment. what you're looking at is an ad put together by the great american alliance. it's airing on cable news stations and it really attacks comey's own character and his handling of the hillary clinton e-mail investigation. this is a team yheme you're gout from republican surrogates. but, of course, charlie, the loudest voice may be the president's own twitter feed, stand by. >> thanks, margaret. senator lindsey graham is standing by. good morning. >> good morning. >> you have said you thought the opening statement by james comey was a good thing -- a day, you said, a pretty good day for the president. >> right. >> why did you say it? >> well, number one, in the statement comey said the president is not a target or subject to an investigation. counterintelligence, criminal, or otherwise, regarding russian collusion as of this moment. now,

but as of right now this moment the president is not under investigation for colluding with russia and unless mueller is a complete idiot, which he is not, he's concluded there ee no obstruction of justice case because if he had concluded otherwise, comey would not testify. you wouldn't let your chief go through this process if you really believed he had a case to prosecute and mueller is a strong -- >> adam schiff strongly disagrees. i think that does not suggest anything. indeed, i would be astonished if he had been earlier. >> schiff's crazy? >> no. schiff o schiff's not crazy. the analogy is crazy. you just don't do it that way.

there's no obstruction of justice. to think otherwise really is silly. and at the end of the day, comey's actions tend to suggestion that he didn't believe the president committed a crime. >> but, senator, is it okay for the president of the united states to invite the fbi director for a private dinner, ask him does he want his job, and then say to him, i need your loyalty. is that okay to do many. >> no. no. hlf of what trump does is not okay. if you try to convict him for being a bull in a china shop, rude and crude, he would win. but no. >> does that trouble you? >> a lot of the stuff troubles me, but it's not a crime. >> the question is not about crude or rude. it's about not only appropriateness but legality. >> right. >> let me ask you this. >> yeah. >> james comey in his testimony specifically accuses the president of asking him to drop the investigation against michael flynn. >> right. >> the president himself was asked about thi

the white house in a joint presser where he was asked did you in any way, shape, or form ask to close down the investigation into michael flynn. the president responded, no, no. who do you believe is lying? the former fbi director or the president of the united states? >> i believe if you look at comey's statement, he said maybe he had a different view of this than i did. i think trump was maybe trying to help flynn because he had been punished enough. but you also have too remember that comey under oath may 3rd testify. there was no intervenes by anyone. that was before he was fired. now that he's been fired, he has a different story to tell. but here's the deal. when comey was asked under oath has anyone tried to interfere with this investigationings he said not at but the story described by comey is disturbing. it was inappropriate by the president to put him in this situation. >> so the question is what would be necessary in your eyes to take what we already know and

>> for the fbi director be consistent with the obstruction of justice by going to the department of justice, reporting a crime, signing or pursuing charges. there's no way you'll ever convince me that the fbi director, the top of the legal chain, thought this was obstruction of justice because if he had thought it, he would have done something differently. >> based on what you know, you don't see any obstruction of justice. >> i don't see any obstruction of justice. trump is note colluding with the russians. he's not colluding with his own deal. i think what bothers him most is the weak and naive response to russia on the election. he seems to have a view of putin different from everybody else in washington and that really bothers me. but let the investigation go forth and

me tell you, there's no collusion and no obstruction. >> let me ask you this, senator. do you believe there was an effort by the russians to compromise the incoming question. in other words -- >> good question. >> yeah. we learn thad he first met him at the trump tower in which he talk about this salacious and unverified document. he went because the dni said i should meet with him one on one and they may use it to compromise the incoming president. does that concern you? >> yeah. i saw it long before you were talking about it. this trump feevg whoo why are you defending trump. i'm getting suspicious with the russian details. as of this day we

trump didn't clud with the russians and i believe schiff would not let comey come forward if he believed this was an obstruction of justice. the business ties, i've been suspicious about the trump and world of financing. i would keach looking. fi were the president, i would get back to governing, but from a league point of view comey has helped the president. in a political view, most americans don't trust him. 70% of the impeachment don't believe he's telling the truth about russia and that's going to hurt the president. the best thing he can do is push back against pew tin and realize the mess you're in, mr. president, is caused by interference in the election. he's providing arms to the taliban. he engaged chemical attacks against young children that makes me so mad. you're misjudging putin. >> great to have you, senator. >> thank you. we have a team of
