captioning funded by cbs it's friday, june 9th, 2017. this is the "cbs morning news." >> those were lies, plain and simple. >> bombshell testimony from james comey. the ousted fbi director didn't miss words calls the president's character into question. >> i was honestly concerned he might lie about the nature of our meeting. and breaking overnight, britain's snap election ends in a hung parliament. prime minister may keeps her job but falls short of keeping her party in power. now she's facing calls for her resignation.

good morning from the studio 57 newsroom at cbs news headquarters here in new york. good to be with you. i'm anne-marie green. this morning british prime minister theresa may is facing calls to step down. may's conservative party lost its parliamentary majority in an election she called hoping to win it. jeremy corbyn calling for may's resignation. >> the command she's got lost support and lost confidence. i would have thought that was enough to go actually and make way for a government that will be truly representative of all of the people of this country. >> this morning may's resignation looks unlikely. that's according to british media, but the results of her political gamble could be the start of britain's exit from

european union. jane ferguson is outside the parliament this morning. good morning, jane. we hear there have been calls for may's resignation. she has scheduled a press conference this morning. what can we expect? >> reporter: in about an hour's time, anne-marie, she's going to give a statement. the british media says she's likely to hang tough. she's not going to give in to those calling for her resignation just yet u but she's under huge pressure to form some sort of government before parliament come together on june 13th. so people are looking to her for some sort of sign for what her plan is on putting a leadership together. >> what does this mean for brexit? will it have an impact? >> this was called by her to negotiate a deal, the terms of that deal that are going to be hard fout and extremely complex. what this means

uncertainty as it has backfired enormously, and british people are looking to have their government rule their own country, never mind move forward with the intimate negotiations for leaving brexit. this could delay the start of the negotiations which are already under pressure to get started as it is. >> we look forward to hearing from theresa may. thank you so much, jane. now to the political fireworks in this country. the former director of the fbi called the president of the united states a liar. in his testimony before the senate intelligence committee, james comey said he was fired because of the russian investigation in the way the investigation was being conducted. comeyal said he leaked information about his conversation with the president to spur the appointment of a special counsel. weijia jiang is in washington. weijia, good morning. >> reporter: good

anne-marie. that is exact lie why the trump team is considering it a victory claiming the former fbi director only hurt himself. this morning we hear directly from president trump who has a news conference scheduled for later today. >> those were lies plain and simple. >> reporter: ousted fbi director james comey spoke candidly for almost three hours thursday acushion president trump and his administration of defamation and lies. >> i was honestly concerned he might lie about our meeting and i found it really important to document. >> reporter: speaking to the intelligence committee comey kept memos of his meetings with the pr, particularly the one where he asked him to drop the investigation of former national security adviser michael flynn. >> he did not direct you to let it go. >> i took it as an

admitted he asked a friend and professor at columbia university to leak that to the reporter. >> mr. comey has now admit thad he is one of these lyrics. >> reporter: comey's testimony has divided lawmakers here on capitol hill over whether the president violated the law. >> do you believe the president obstructed justice at all? >> i do not believe there is. >> was what the president did was appropriate? i don't see how anybody can look at the facts and say yes. >> reporter: comey will not say whether or not he thought president trump obstructed justice but his lawyer says he feels completely vindicated. he alluded to the possibility that recordings between him and comey during the hearing he said, he hopes there are tapes and he hopes they're all released. >> he's not the onlne

considering that considering how many watched his testimony yesterday. weijia jiang i washington. weijia, thank you so much. comey said he started taping because he knew it would come down to his words against the president's. >> how does the public know who's telling the truth? well, whose character did he judge better. they were attacking comey before he even opened his mouth. he was a showboat. the democrats criticized him. he hurt the fbi. mike pence, then governor of indiana called it the politics of personal destruction. of course, we heard comey had his own character claims to make about the president, said it was in his nature to lie, but then at the end of the day the president's attorney had his own words to say, that comey

someone anonymously leaked the information and he should be investigated. >> the president did not ask him to take action on investigation into the russian interference in the election and as jeff pegues reports comey made it clear russian efforts to undermine the u.s. are ongoing. >> there should be no fuzz on this whatsoever. the russians interfered in our election. >> reporter: comey testified that in 2015 u.s. investigators detected russian hackers were sending waves of malicious e-mails to government and nonprofit organizations. committee chairman richard burr. >> what would be the estimate of how many entities out there the russians specifically targeted? >> it's hundreds. i suppose it could be more than a thousand, but it's at least hundreds. >> reporter: as they began to investigate, u.s. intelligence agencies noted some were in contact with russian officials including fired

security adviser michael flynn. by the time comey met with the president in february in the oval office comey said flynn was in legal jeopardy. >> there was an open fbi criminal investigation in statements in kerkz with russian contacteds and the contacts themselves. >> reporter: comey told senior advisers that the president asked hum to let go of the flynn investigation but they decide not to inform attorney general jeff sessions. >> we were aware in facts ke not discuss in an open setting that would make his continues engagement in a russian investigation problematic. >> reporter: days later sessions recused himself from the investigation after it was revealed he had not disclosed all of his meetings with the russian ambassador. besides flynn, fbi is now scrutinizing former campaign manager paul manafort, carter page, robert stone

son-in-law jared kushner. >> do you believe the president colluded with russia? >> it's an answer i should p answer in an open setting. that's a question that will be answered by the investigation, i think. >> reporter: jeff pegues, cbs news, washington. on wednesday the acting fbi director said he couldn't answer certain questions because the president could be under investigation now or in the future. well, ahead on "cbs this morning," bob woodward, the associate editor of the "washington post," is one of the reporters who broke the story that led to richard nixon's resignation. we'll ask him about comey's testimony. the government contractor charged with leaking classified government documents has been denied bail. prosecutors argued yesterday reality winner may have more stolen intelligence and could try to flee the country. they say before she left the military she inserted a hard
