for which official time was granted and the impact official time had on agency operations. h.r. 1293 requires agencies to report the amount of compensation employees receive in connection with the time they spent on activities in connection with official time. finally, the bill requires agencies to report a description of rooms and spaces agencies use to conduct official time. h.r. 1293 will provide taxpayers with the transparency they deserve when it comes to official time. mr. speaker, i urge my colleagues to support this bill and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from virginia, mr. connolly, is recognized. mr. connolly: i thank the speaker. i must say, mr. speaker, i originally rose in support of what i thought was a simple reporting bill. listening to my friend from florida, this is part in par sell of the negative narrative that is sent in all too frequently on the other side of the aisle about hardworking civil servants and federal employees. they are not all somehow committing crime on official time. offi

, according to officials.temporaneous evidence of the president seeking that from admiral rogers, the head of the national security agency which he thought was inappropriate which dan coats, the director of national intelligence thought was inappropriate, that would be very damning. >> yes, in a special counsel investigation, that writing would work similarly to whatever we find out from the comey memos, if they're written contemporaneously. i think when you look at what's gone on here, wolf, what you see again is a situation where president trump, like gore lori said, is trying to shut it down but it's generating more suspicion. >> if there's no collusion, at the end of the day, he has succeeded in making this incrementally worse for himself and his administration by all of the things that he's spun up. >> this isn't the trump organization. this is the united states of america. when he was running the trump organization, he could turn to his people and say shut this down, i don't want this, i don't want that.

announce official election results.of the last update, not all votes had been counted. it was a little over 38 million, little over 40 million counted at that point in time. we expect, george, in the next ten minutes or so an official announcement that rouhani has won the presidential election in iran. interesting, looks like a wide margin of error, but not uncommon for iranian elections. they have tendency to reelect the incumbent. also looking like around 60 to 62% he seems to have gotten of votes. not necessarily uncommon for incumbents in iran. keep in mind this was an election that appeared to be very close for a large period of time, especially when you looked at the campaign and the polls the past couple days before the election when the hard liner was catching up. at this point what you're seeing in iran is them congratulating rowhani, saying victory for the moderates, also saying victory for the state of iran as well. one of the thing the supreme leader reports is power in this country and has the final say on

there isn't any sort of official official announcement yet.ntly the state media seeing that rouhani is so far ahead they're already congradi g congradilating him on winning this election. some smaller news agency that have done the same thing. they're also saying rouhani has won this election. which, of course, george, as we have been saying, is a very important one. very important in shaping this country's role in the middle east and shaping this country's role globally, as well. and, of course, internally as far as economic policies are concerned. and from having been at a lot of these polling stations. one major polling station in tehran yesterday could really see that the turnout was very, very high. many people coming out and telling us, look, we had two candidates especially whose economic policies are diametrically opposed and that's why many of them said that they believe this election is so very important. finally, george, one thing we shouldn't underestimate is that in the runp to the election, the donald trump factor. with the presi

officials are making this point and i'm sure they have made it to you. when you disclose information that potentially could reveal how that information was obtained, sensitive information, lives are on the line and that's why news organizations like cnn and like "the washington post" in this case have declined to report certain information after the intelligence community says you know what, if you report that, lives could be lost. that's a sensitive issue. you can't just willy-nilly go ahead and release that kind of information. >> well, of course not, and if president trump had stood up and revealed just to the public just what he did in a classified setting with those foreign leaders that he wanted to discuss those things with, we could have this argument about whether it was appropriate to disclose publicly. that's not what he did. look, again, i come back to here there's a weasel here, and the weasel is not the.of the united states. it's the traitor who disclosed these facts "the washington post." i wish you'd go out and interview "the washington po

officials, but current u.s. officials which seems important. the post says this, president trump revealed highly classified information to the russian foreign minister and ambassador in a white house meeting last week. the information the president relayed has been provided by a u.s. partner through a sharing arrangement that details have been held from allies and tightly restricted within the u.s. government. quote, this is code word information said a u.s. official familiar with the matter using terminology that refers to one of the highest classification used. by american spy agencies. trump, quote, relieved more information to the russian ambassador than we have shared with our own allies. the partner had not given the united states permission, meaning the partner country, partnering nation. that country had not given the united states permission to share the material with russia. and officials say trump's decision to do so endangers cooperation from an ally that has access to the inner workings of the islamic state. after the meeting senio

officials found out about it. and obviously we're waiting to get more details on this sort of discrepancy we're seeing in these statements when h.r. mcmaster starts speaking. >> the washington post reporter that broke the story will be with me in a moment. i want to go to the pentagon for the response. barbara starr is there. do we at this time no what is it that the president revealed? >> well according to the washington post, and i'll leave tight the reporter you have to explain further, some of this had to do with intelligence that perhaps led to the ban on laptops onboard passenger cabins in airplanes. it's quite interesting that that statement referenced aviation. you could talk about that with the russians certainly. nobody wants to see russian passenger liners crash due to some intelligence threat they may not be aware of. but the post article clearly suggesting that the president shared some of the most sensitive intelligence information about this and that that information came from another country. and t

other statement as well from white house officials.na powell, deputy national security adviser saying the story in "the washington post" is false. saying the president only discussed the common threats that both countries faced. manu raju is getting a lot of reaction up there to these two reports now. what are you learning, manu is. >> wolf, members of congress want answers. they don't know anything what they've read in these reports saying they are alarmed, both republicans and democrats, and they are concerned. people like senator bob corker saying this is problem at ache endick dushin, senate whip saying this is reckless if this were true. a lot of members have not heard about this. even members who sit on the senate intelligence committee. richard burr said he hasn't even read anything about this other than what's in the report. he said he has not fully read in detail bp we just got a statement from paul ryan, house speaker, who said this, we have no way to know what was said but protecting our nation's secrets is paramount. the sp

from russian officials. all this coming just days after "the new york times" reported that president trump personally asked james comey to drop the russia related investigation into his former national security adviser michael flynn. late today we learned at comey has agreed to testify in an open session before the senate intelligence committee some time after memorial day. joining me now, democratic congressman ted lieu of california. there's so much to get to here, congressman. let me start with your reaction to the times report about the president's calling comey a nut jo saying he fired him, seeming to explicitly state it was to get away from the investigation that essentially the white house confirming it today. what is your reaction to that? >> thank you, chris, for that question. let me say that we no longer just have smoke. we have a raging e inine ining at the white house. president the president did in firing james comey and then saying he did it to relieve pressure on himself because of the fbi in

two former officials share that president trump shared highly classified information with russian officials week. let's discuss now with the author of "trump nation" and alexander bloomsberg. you have seen "the washington post" reporting he was boasting, talking about highly classified information. >> well, i think that because he's insecure, he boasts and i think what he's finding out now is that when you boast around representatives of a foreign government and what you're boasting about is classified information, you run into trouble. he spent his whole career boasting and pushing the edges of acceptable financial or business behavior and it's now entered into the political realm. so i don't find any of it surprising actually. >> but it may work in business? people may believe when you're sort of exaggerating. >> no, i don't think it works in business. i think it's caused him more problems than successes. i think the difference is now he's being scrutinized in a way he never was during his business career. >> he tweeted last week about james comey. better hope there are no tapes of conver

official says the fbi is looking into kushner's contact with russian officials during the transition as well as various explanations given for those meetings. on december 1st, kushner met with russian ambassador sergey kislyak at trump tower. later that month at kislyak's urging he met with sergei gorkov, the chairman of a russian bank, a close putin associate and a former spy. in march the white house insisted it was part of kushner's official transition role. but the bank said it was only about business, a key contradiction the fbi is now focusing on. the meeting with kislyak was initially left off of kushner's security clearance disclosure forms but added the next day. this month sources told cnn kushner discussed setting up a secret communications channel with russia using their facilities as a way to bypass detection by u.s. intelligence. but as an explanation said it was so he and then nsa nominee flynn could discuss military strategy in syria among other topics. the white house is pushing back, calling the reports false and unverified claims. >> i think secretary kelly and gen

the "the new yk times" hearing what was on the official account, the official account of his oval officemeeting? trump telling the russians, after firing comey, he, quote, faced great pressure because of russia. that's taken off. where is that official account? what exactly is it, and will we see it? a white house official is now a person of interest in the russia investigation. new york congressman hakeem jeffries is with me now along with ann. let me get your reaction first. the president has denied repeatedly there was any collusion. he denies that he ever did anything wrong. now we have him and nbc news has confirmed the existence of these notes taken from this meeting. he's with the russians. he calls the fbi director a nut job, talks to them about what would be considered a fairly sensitive personnel matter. and then added, i feel great pressure because of russia. that's taken off. your reaction? >> well, it's another shocking development to some degree where donald trump's mind frame has been with regard to this investigation. it allows us to interpret some of these actions are pe

officials repeatedly pointing utto an economy they have here. and i think that's something that's very much on their minds. >> and alley, if you would, tell us about the significance of this being the first place the president would travel to make an overseas trip? what is the significance? >> well, in talking to several senior advisers over the course of several few weeks, there is a lot of stress of being one of the main pieces of the religion faith. to extend a hand to those in the region, a face in the middle east, especially in the fight against terrorism and isis in the region. but it's definitely something the president is focusing on while he's here. of course the significance of coming to this country after all of his anti-muslim rhetoric throughout the campaign, he had a largely -- a lot of them were really energized and mobilized by that rhetoric. and you can see him coming down the stairs right now to with melania. once trump reaches the end of that red carpet, he will see them, one of the first people he sees. >> now we're looking a

official tellser? the white house was unsure about the president's power over the fbi which could speak to why he appeared to be trying to quash the investigation including during a private oval office meeting when trump asked comey to drop the matters against his national security adviser michael flynn. trump denies the charge but the top democrat on the committee says if true it's troubling. >> anybody that gets close to this russia investigation loses their job or ends up in a difficult position. this is just not the way an american president should act. >> reporter: and while they still want additional facts, more and more republicans are voicing concern about the constant stream of allegations against the administration. >> it's troubling obviously also, but i can't leap to conclusions. i don't think it's logical to assume that the president of the united states would ask the director of national intelligence not to investigate the russia issue. if you would ask if that's going to happen i would s

officials say the activities of a current white house officials are now under investigation in the fbi's russia collusion probe. in neither "the washington post" reporting on this nor nbc's reporting do we actually have the name of who the person of interest is. we are told the person is a senior white hsedviserho is close to the president, but put that list up again. this is at least a partial list of who's going on the big foreign trip today. that's a very large chunk of all the people who are known to be senior advisers in this white house. we don't have a name. we don't know if it's one of these senior white house officials who is on the trip who is also the person of interest in the trump russia collusion law enforcement investigation, but somebody apparently is. earlier this week, nbc news was first to report that mike flynn and paul manafort, the former national security adviser, former campaign chairman, were officially subjects of criminal investigations in which federal grand jury subpoenas have been issued. and "the washington post" tonight reaffirmed they were keenly interest

the new york times says that there facing these on an official read—out fixing the basic these on a officials a document produced by the government or the white house itself, then circulated internally. they have seen presumably this document which is authentic from a reliable source. the white house itself isn't specifically denying these were words that donald trump said, that he talked about relieving pressure, they are fraying it as being part of the tramp negotiations with russia, inventing them to cooperate on the policy goals. as far as the serious goes, this points towards intent, forfiring the fbi director, in soon another data point. he was pressured by donald trump it is alleged, to stop the investigation, and early reports suggested it was because of russia. we will see. it is serious though, andi we will see. it is serious though, and i think donald trump's critics will point it to an example of where possible obstruction ofjustice. you mentioned intent, what do you think donald trump means by great pressure onjames donald trump means by great pressure on james comey? that is th

officials. this meeting also attended by michael flynn, trump's first national security adviser. there's a lot there. let's just pause on one staggering fact. because we can tell you a lot of intelligence experts are pausing on it tonight. kushner wanted a secret channel to this one particular country, russia, and he wanted to rely on the russians to provide the building and the mechanism for that secret plan. for a businessman, he ought to know that would give the russians a lot of leverage. they'd control the communications and any recordings made. but with great rewards come great risks which is truly the kicker of this bizarre story out tonight. "kislyak reportedly was taken aback by the suggestion of allowing an american to use russian communications gear at its embassy or consulate, a proposal that would have carried security risks for moscow as well as the trump team." there is thinking outside the box, and then there's thinking outside planet earth. which may explain the next piece of th

didn't tell the truth to another white house official?ell, you know, they're new in their positions. i guess it's good that they asked the questions and received the answers from the career la3 enforcement national security officials about why that is important, at least when the issue is that someone is lying about contacts with the russians and what russian intelligence service have done with that type of information in the past and how they used it to compromise individuals. >> woodruff: final question. if there were an instance ongoing today -- and we don't know this at all to be the case -- of someone in the administration talking to trungses, the intelligence community finds out about it, tries to warn the white house, is it possible for the white house to ignore it and to say we don't want the hear that information, you're fired? or is it going to get the attention of the people it needs to? >> well, the only hope it will get the attention it needs to but it is why it's important in a nonpartisan way while we have senators like gra

officials. >> right. that's all the concerns that were raised about michael flynn whether he will be subject to pressure or blackmail because the russians would know things that his colleagues would not about what he said. >> all that applies here. this is a tremendous accelerant overall. >> we heard from the president's national security adviser. hr mcmaster telling cnn that he would not be concerned about a white house official attempting to set up back channel communication s with russia. >> jack pointed out that he was not a white house official when this allegedly start to come to tuition or plan. does this eququalify as back channel communication? >> to me, it is the technicality. we are talking about mr. kushner and kislak. mr. kushner is 36 years old and made his fortune of real estate. mr. kislak, came to the united states as an employee of the soviet foreign service, in 1982, in those days, he was an ambassador, part of the contingent of the united discriminati nations. if you came from soviet u

officials are warning residents to be careful at this time. we just spoke with a fire official from contra costa county. [ background noise ] they say they certainly are suspicious in nature, they are confined at this point to automobiles. they say again, at this point, there has been no injuries but they stress that there is certainly the very likelihood that somebody could be injured in one of these incidents. one of the fires yesterday spread to a home. it spread near to a child's bedroom. so certainly the potential here for someone to have serious injuries if not killed. fire officials are warning people to be vigilant and they're also looking for anybody who may have video of one of these fires are from the scene or from nearby one of these fires to turn that over to law enforcement. maybe they can see who may be behind this string of suspicious fires. >>> christian, i know it is dark, so it's hard for you to show us, but you mentioned close to a home. what is the situation like where you are there? are there a lot of cars on the street?

kislyak and other russian officials. when they made the decision to fire director comey, was the white house aware that director comey had reportedly just asked the justice department for more resources for an adequate investigation? and perhaps the most important question of all: when will republicans in congress agree to support a special prosecutor and an independent commission to get to the bottom of this russian collusion in our last presidential election? mr. president, december 8, 2016, is a day that will live in cyber infamy. it was that election that the russians set out to change the results. it is the first time we have seen an overt effort by a foreign party do this. and many on the other side of the aisle havetain taken a ho-hum attitude. oh, it is just another example of kids being kids. i don't think so. when one of our major adversaries in the world decides to try to impact the choice of leader of the free world, the united states should stand up, take notice, and fight back. let's not forget that this is
