a public inquiry in 2016 concluded that his murder was a fsb operation, radioactive substance poloniums murder was a fsb operation, and that president putin probably approved it. more than ten years after his death, the bbc‘s witness programme caught up with his wife, marina. scotland yard is investigating the suspected poisoning of a russian dissident living in britain. alexander litvinenko, once a colonel in the russian security service. now he's fighting for his life. when i met him the first time, i didn't think, it's my future husband. he was very shy, he was absolutely different to what you usually think about officer of the security service. i feel very safe with him. i feel loved. sasha's life belongs to serving the country. he went to army when he was just 17 years old. hejoined headquarters exactly in a time when the soviet union collapsed, and hisjob was more against organised crime. the growth in crime or so affects those who have done well out of change. a bullet—proof car with a team of bodyguards take this top banker to work. it was crazy time. people tried to earn money

. >> he views the fsb and kgb officers as the new nobility of russia.y are the pinnacle of russian society. he uses them on a daily basis. >> used to be kgb. now fsb. they sound like savings and loan institutions. they are decidedly not. this guy is a trained spy. >> they can both find you. >> he would argue he's a trained killer. >> at the end of the day, he messed with us. the only part of the story that doesn't satisfy a majority of americans is that trump isn't mad about it. there was some incredible reporting in "the washington post" about how the obama administration knew that the russians were meddling. they didn't do anything. someone described it as we choked. but the putin story could have ended on election day if donald trump said, i won fair and square, but i'm going to make sure that putin stays out of our democracy. >> i am puzzled by why our president isn't getting our defenses up so that we don't get hacked in another election. we've got all of congress coming up just next year. then two years after that we've got another presidential. i

perverted and sexual acts which have been arranged, monitored by the fsb. this information was not provided to the fbi at -- by the request of the democrats. it was provided on the basis that christopher steel believed he had information about an on going criminal act where the president of the united states could potentially be blackmailed by the russians. now what other evidence do we have corroborating christopher steel? one, you have keith schiller who was his bodyguard, who testified before congress that, in fact, trump was offered women and now you've got stormy daniels who blackmailed him based on sexual conduct. so this is a situation where you have corroboration for christopher steel, even though the republicans are going after him. >> joe, at some point where does this become a problem for republicans. if there are a whole bunch of people who want to stick by donald trump, they wan to not have this being true, that there would be any corroboration between the trump campaign and the russia yabut it is doing damage because of the fact the president

the interesting thing is, is that litvanenko was viewed as a traitor because he had worked for the fsb, and then he moved, he defected, and he wrote all these things. sodly enough, i think -- so, oddly enough, i think a lot of the russians know that he was killed by these two gentlemen and that they were ordered by the fsb and mr. putin to do it, but people kind of feel like litvanenko got what he deserved. then i have other examples that i can't go into detail about right now. i would say that really probably one of the most devastating killings was that of boris nemtsov in february of 2015. if you'll recall, he was walking with his girlfriend across a bridge very close to the kremlin, and people went by, somebody got out of a car and just shot him i think five or six times. anyway, it's very interesting that the killers, they arrested almost immediately the killers, but again it's the same pattern. they don't find what we say in russian -- [speaking russian] and, in fact, nemtsov's family has now requested the russian government to extend the period of the statute of limitations beca

gerrie: we have instructed our attorneys to launch a complaint with the fsb.taking that route. all of our attention was focused on communicating to our stakeholders. we spend a lot of time on that today. we will continue doing that in the next couple of days. vonnie: you are saying there are factual inaccuracies in the report. can you give us an example of one or two? gerrie: we've done reconciliations to the tune of 2 billion shortage -- we've done reconciliations close to that figure. 100%.solidated just to give you a simple example, they are making a statement that our manager is --ting a salary of quite a lot of things are factually incorrect. thingsferred to certain the clients exploit. that gives you a completely different story. we see it as a lot of and correct information -- incorrect information and they one-sided story. assuaged all the concerns that your major shareholders have aired to you today? withe: we are in touch psg, are major shareholder -- our major shareholder. they are supporting us 100%. over 200 analysts and asset managers on the tele

so, i think the interesting thing is he was viewed as a traitor because she worked for the fsb and heoved and so oddly enough, a lot of the russians know that he was killed by these two gentlemen and they were ordered by the fsb to do it, that people kind of feel like he got what he deserved. i have other examples that i can't go into detail about right now. i would say really probably one of the most devastating killings within february 2016 if you'll recall he was walking with his girlfriend across the bridge close to the kremlin and people went by and somebody got out of a car and shot him five or six times. anyway, it's very interesting that the killers they are rested almost immediate lead the killers, but again it is the same pattern. they don't mind what we say in russian in the family has now requested the russian government to extend the statute of limitations because they still have not found the person who ordered this. many people think it is again something ordered via vladimir putin. not only a handsome, cares not a really really politician, any used to be a government.

now fsb. they sound like savings and loans institutions. they are decidedly not. this guy is a trained spy. >> they can both find you. >> he would argue he's a trained killer. >> he messed with us. the only part of the story that doesn't satisfy a majority of americans is that trump isn't mad about it. there was some incredible reporting in "the washington post" about how the obama administration knew that the russians were meddling. they didn't do anything. someone described it as we choked. but the putin story could have ended on election day if donald trump said, i won fair and square, but i'm going to make sure that putin stays out of our democracy. >> i am puzzled by why our president isn't getting our defenses up so that we don't get hacked in another election. we've got all of congress coming up just next year. then two years after that we've got another presidential. i don't feel prepared. i don't feel like we have been warned. our number five selection on our ten most list is john mccain. >> i've loved my life. i've loved every minute of it. the disappoin

went back to some of his old cohorts, people he had made contact with when he was a former spy in the fsb and this is why these concerns have been raised. the russians could have very easily according to my sources in the intelligence community, known right away it was being paid for by the dnc and the clinton campaign. they could have used it for their own propaganda purposes. it appears they have. now what we're seeing is what was the amount of this systemic abuse? was there systemic abuse with the fisa warrant? is it just related to the hillary clinton campaign or does it go beyond? >> sean: it would render anything they've got inadmissible. the media has been trying to sell "the new york times" report. gregg jarrett made a good point to me earlier today. in fact, that it was "the new york times" reporting that papadopoulos mouthed off to an australian diplomat he heard the russians had dirt on hillary. that's not even admissible. that's triple here say. >> senator feinstein started this yesterday when she released this whole fusion gps testimony. i say let's go ahead and release it al

and so, there's a question about whether the fsb would have been aware that he was collecting that informationd then what they regularly do if they're trying to conduct covert influence operations is to feed information so that maybe 90%-95% of the information is true, and 5% of it is not, and it's designed to serve their covert influence. >> so, you're bringing up the dossier, hoffman, and you have two republican members of the senate judiciary committee, both senator lindsey graham along with charles grassley of iowa, following this referral, asking the justice department to charge former british intelligence officer christopher steele, claiming he may have misled the fbi. so, a couple questions here. do you believe this dossier is accurate or do you think that there are questions, as you just mentioned, into what the dossier has? >> yeah, i mean, i think there's a lot of questions about the accuracy -- >> and also the collection of intelligence that the dossier has. >> right. i think there's a lot of questions about the accuracy of the dossier. i think that it would have been -- the adminis

question now is whether that dossier was in no small part disinformation that was planted by the russian fsb and they just simply played our side of the game and that now led to the point where i think the fbi is extremely embarrassed about what has gone on here. the question is how do you discipline them for doing these sorts of things. liz: we're finding out more about the testimony of glenn simpson, he's one of the co- heads of fusion gps. that's the outfit behind that so-called anti-trump file. glenn simpson disclosed for the first time in testimony that he did meet just after the electn wi justice department oicial bruce ohr as dan henniger pointed out he was demoted from his position as deputy assistant general last month after his meeting with glenn simpson was disclosed and he also testified that bruce ohr met with the author of that file christopher steel before the election. what's the most important revelation about this simpson testimony? >> well that simpson was engaged in such close contact with officials from the department of justice. i mean someone like glenn simpson is usua

. >> she worked for the fsb, the successor organization for the kgb. >> the democratic block insist i was a an agent of the kremlin, a spy and so fourth. >> of the president son-in-law barely attended according to her account. he >> he came after the meeting and left before it ended. we didn't look each other in ie eye. >> his contact with his uncle is overblown. >> there was a girl, a pretty -- was she just a pretty young lady? i don't know. i didn't meet or talk with her. >> she has direct knowledge of the trump tower meeting, veselnitskaya told fox that special counsel robert mueller has not contacted her yet. it's been interesting. thank you for the justice department says it will retry new jersey democratic senator robert menendez. menendez pleaded not guilty in his 11 week trial. menendez and his longtime friend, and florida eye doctor, were charge with the skiing where they traded political favors for gifts and campaign donations. menendez's office says it regrets the decision to go back to court, but the senator "intends to be vindicated again." the justice department is also

that's what they do, that's what the fsb does they have for decades and decades. >> most importantlysay is this. it is just one piece of information in their wide ranging inquiry. >> i have spoken to a number of people and they make clear listen, there is a lot more out there than just this. it is one small piece of a much larger picture. >> as we have tried to bring that picture into focus, we made several attempts to speak to one of the president's lawyers on camera. we were unable to obtain an interview. trump maintains in statements and on twitter there was no collusion. but multiple investigations continue. we will also continue to report the story focusing on the facts. i'm pamela brown, thank you for joining us. building a website in under an hour is easy with gocentral... ...from godaddy! in fact, 68% of people who have built their... ...website using gocentral, did it in under an hour, and you can too. build a better website - in under an hour. with gocentral from godaddy.

intelligence agent, calling his buddies who called their buddies in moscow to get this information, the fsb is certainly capable of following those trails and polluting them with certain, you know, disinformation. completethis is just a speculative hypothesis, but one we should all keep in mind. we believe that russia carried out a very successful information operation aimed largely at hillary clinton. what if they also, kind of hedging their bets, also carried out and information operation aimed at donald trump, and that some of the dossier is, was put there by russian -- you know, intelligence, with the idea of casting a shadow over trump. if that happens, the operation was, everyone would agree, extremely successful. if there was an operation against trump, it cast a shadow over the first year of his president, right? it isre was no collusion, daunting to think about this as a russian achievement. >> thanks for making it more confusing. [laughter] >> wow. >> what do you think? >> i think you are taking doublethink and triple think to new highs and lows. [laughter] >> i mean, anything is

there's only one organization in the world that's beyond reproach, and that's the fsb or the former kgbia. they're the ones who say, if you question us, we're going to arrest you. the fbi is not like that. we can't allow the fbi to become like that. >> so what do you say to your counterparts and supporters of donald trump that do compare the fbi to the kgb. i had somebody on my show the other day doing that very thing. folks on fox are doing that. they're calling them the secret police. what do you say to them in order to turn down the volume. >> yeah, i think that's nuts. i just do. i think that's nuts. the vast majority of the people in the fbi are dedicated public servants. and we want to potter shsupport. one of this unfortunate things has been this narrative that the house intel committee is trying to tear down the fbi. that's just insane, of course we're not. but you can't have any organization that's beyond oversight. if there are individuals, especially leaders within the fbi who have done things inappropriate, we have to be able to hold them accountable. katy, by the way, i've

retired british agent calling his buddies who called their bodies in moscow to get the information, the fsbis capable of following those trails including them with this information. if this is a speculative hypothesis, we believe that russia carried out a successful information operation largely with hillary clinton. also hedging their bets and carried out information with donald trump. some of the dossier was put there by russians with the idea of casting a shadow over trump. if that happened i think everyone would agree it was extremely successful who it was against -- he did nothing or there was no collusion it's daunting to think about this is a russian achievement. >> thanks for making it more confusing. [laughter] >> i think you're taking double drink think to new highs and lows. you're right, that could've been a piece of us. >> time will tell. how much of it actually checks out and how much they can disprove. have they disproved any of it? i think not. >> they meaning the trump associates think they've disproved a lot of it. >> i do not think they count. >> the final plug, my argume
