congressman devin nunes.in, for being here. >> president trump likes congressman devin nunes. they have been allies in the whole russian meddling investigation. nun assees is in a tough reelec battle. we'll be watching to see how the voting goes. trump 2016 campaign donors who are now giving money to devin nunes in 2018, a cnn analyst identified at least 39 donors formerly giving to trump now giving to devin nunes. in the congressional race, you can give 2700 in the race and 2700 in the election. it's a little more than $30,000 just this year. in context, devin nunes has raised a little over $5,000. but trump loyalty means financial help for devin nunes, and this is coming not just from his home state of california but from all over the country here. devin nunes having a trump profile because of the russia investigation. former democratic congresswoman and a democratic candidate this year, they believe the russia investigation, maybe it brings in the money, they think it will hurt at the ballot box. >> he spe

nunes to do the right thing or move speaker ryan to remove mr. nunes. don, this week we found out there's a new club. it's called everybody but nunes. because everybody but nunes who was briefed about the president's bogus spygate claims has now come out and said the president was wrong. he should not continue to obstruct the progress we have to make. >> everyone but nunes. so next week the gang of eight gets access to some of the doj documents regarding the fbi's decision to deploy an informant to meet with members of the trump campaign back in 2016. and one of your colleagues told cnn just a short time ago that he thinks that's a mistake. here he is. >> an entity being investigated to get information from the justice department, that's a horrible precedent. it's been done i think once before. it was a mistake then. it's a worse mistake now simply because i think the intent is to turn this information over to the trump legal team. chairman nunes, one of the gang of eight. >> he's the chairman of the house intelligence committee. >> that's right. i thin

you heard the conversation with devin nunes. you know kash patel.atherine herridge named him herself. >> absolutely.rr kash patel has been workingng with the house intelligence committee on this for some time. these threats, these direct threats by rod rosenstein to kash patel and other members of the committee are unacceptable. he is trying to weaponize his office to keep these peo quiet, to keep the americancc people from hearing the truth, sean. >> sean: are your sources confming what i have heard from people? >> yes, he absolutely does have this temper. i've talked to a number of people who have dealt with rod rosenstein. they say his temper is out of control. he's actually obstructing, the word you u obstructing the american people from understanding the truthy about what's happening. >> sean: this is a form of obstruction, by intimidating, threatening. >> these are people who work -- remember -- >> sean: threat by the department of justice, the second in charge. if you keep doing your reporting, we are going to subpoena your emails. >> this is

how might that reflect on devin nunes?before november, it could impact the race? >> it could. because devin has been a staunch supporter of the president, highly critical of robert mueller. >> if you were a betting man, nunes would win? >> yes. today. standing here today. but we're a long way, right? you know this, we're a long way from here to november. >> reporter: we reached out to the nunes campaign for comment, for an interview. we did not hear back. now, tuesday's primary is going to be crucial because there have not been any reliable polls yet here in the 22nd district. so tuesday's primary is going to be the first concrete indication as to whether devin nunes really is in trouble. nick watt, cnn, fresno, california. >>> california, one of eight states holding their primary on tuesday. offering yet another glimpse of how november could shake out. and in california, the epicenter of the donald trump resistance, the president's stance on sanctuary cities and continued attacks on governor jerry brown, there's a swell o

how might that reflect on devin nunes? >> if he delivers before november it, could have a huge impact on this race. >> it could because devin has been a staunch supporter of the president, highly critical of robert mueller. >> if you were a betting man,? >> we're a long way to november. >> now to this, president trump slapping key allies with steep tariffs and they were vowing to fight back. also the may jobs report is just out. we'll have that for you next. let's go to sumatra. the coffee here is amazing. because the volcanic soil is amazing. so we give farmers like win more plants. to grow more delicious coffee. which helps provide for win's family. all, for a smoother tasting cup of coffee. green mountain coffee roasters. it wi called usaarst and the first thing they asked was 'are you ok?' they always thank you for your service, which is nice because as a spouse you serve too. we're the hayles and we're usaa members for life. if you have moderate to severe or psoriatic arthritis, little things can be a big deal. that's

nunes is the only one that has taken this stand.estion is whether rosenstein should provide answers to those specific questions to a broader group. we're talking about the house intel committee. is that justified? >> and that's a really important point, erin. the dloe the disclosure to a broader group simply increases the chances of public disclosure, leaking, and other problems that may imperil this ongoing criminal investigation. that's why we have classified settings and why it's so important that it be done on a limited basis. but your point is very well taken. a lot of this information has already been provided. >> so senator win also want to ask you about your weekend. you came back from a visit to a temporary shelter site on the u.s./mexican border. you also visited two border patrol stations and a formal port of entry. the president tweeted over the weekend, in part, "we cannot allow all of these people to invade our country. when someone comes in, we must immediately, with no judges or court cases, bring them back from wher

i think devin nunes is correct. it's not only obstruction of congress and should move as such but rod rosenstein should be impeached over this. >> sean: real quick, we only have a few sec the ig report tomorrow. the facts are not in dispute. will dig do his job? >> i believe the ig will do his job. michael horowitz will do his job tomorrow. >> sean: i have my doubts. gregg, last word. >> i think you will do his job and he won't go as far as he should. that's my prediction. >> sean: all right, thank you both for being with us. a lot of breaking news. ed henry here with no details. two big stories rattling washington tight. congressman jim jdan, ron desantis, matt gaetz will jo us. sarah always chooses to take the stairs. but climbing 58,070 steps a year can be hard on her feet, kns, and lower back. that's why she wears dr. scholl's orthotics. they're clinically proven to relieve pain and give you the comfort to move more. dr. scholl's, born to move. do not mistake serenity for weakness. do not misjudge quiet tranquil

they answered it to devin nunes. he doesn't think it's good enough and i don't think nunes has any credible. >> melissa: he is not alone. >> he said it was fine and that is going to cause a bigger problem -- >> richard: and the gang of eight. >> kennedy: paul ryan exhorted the d.o.j. and the f.b.i. to turn over the documents because the committee chairs have a legal professional congressional right to access this information. paul ryan said that. he is saying they deserve more time. >> jessica: i would ask if nunes has a problem with the gang of eight, the bipartisan group to see this. it smells like partisan on his part. you have to trust people of your own party to look at this. >> melissa: what is not partisan is the people involved in this has been fired. peter strozk marched out, stripped of his clearance, his weapon taken from him. andrew mccabe trying to get documents from the f.b.i. he can't get it done. when all of these people are fired, and they finessed the reason in the i.g. report -- they find reason in

devin nunes was pushing hard. it's either the o.i.g.ee that had the guts to stand up. tammy: it will be drip by drip. you have lisa page resigning. you have people panicking, the actual charges against mccabe. it will be like kilauea. starting slow with some vents coming up now and then, then it begins to move and it won't be able to be stopped. that's what they are afraid of. that's what i think this will become. even if the obstruction. it's so awful, it will have to happen. lou: i hope you are right. byron, you will get the last word here. i am sitting here watching this thing and i am not convinced that anyone in congress beyond the intel committee has the guts to stand up against this stonewalling department of justice and fbi. and i mow that no one in the u.s. senate does. >> i will say imu -- i will saye other player in this. that's the president of the united states. maybe he doesn't indisimnatalie declassify a bunch of stuff. but the president of the united states can tell his justice department to comply with a house subpoena.

what do you have to say about devin nunes in all of this? >> i really think he's been heroic, and it's been very brave, i think, to go to a place where you had to know you were going to take flack from very powerful, very entrenched institutions and interests. i think a lot of people, well, just to be clear on what i think was going through the minds of people who conducted these investigations. they know that counterintelligence matters are classified. in my experience, counterintelligence agents are liable to take outrageous chances and measures that you wouldn't expect criminal investigators to take because they don't expect their work is ever going to be checked. it's never going to be taken apart by defense lawyers. it's never going to be in a public courtroom, so they go about their business with a little bit of an edge that they just don't think what they're doing is ever going to be reviewed. if you put on that the overlay that everybody here was ripe dead certain that hillary clinton was going to win the election, and this was never

so nunes is likely to have a traditional republican race., democrats put this on their dream list. i'd be very skeptical about that, anderson. we're watching the rest of the results c those arehe two big ones. interesting because they were clinton districts. nunes will be renominated have have an opponent. the republican incombpt on top. does he get a democrat, does he get a republican we'll be asking that question a lot through the rest of the night. e we seen it play out, the divisions within the republican party, between progressives and moderates? >> it's interesting. in different pockets we're seeing everything is in iowa. bernie sa the sanders the party. clinton dynamic in bakari can certainly speak to this. but the sanders juice inside the party that was part of the 2016 race doesn't seem to be translating just yet to of the people he's endorsed. and i was the biggestf th the guy who ran the sanders campaign in iowa, that basically drew hillary clinton to a tie in those caucuses if you remember he's not going to come through as a demo

what chairman nunes is expressing is the frustration that all of us have. look, so much of our members, look, so many of our members, myself included, are frustrated with the slow pace of compliance with our legitimate oversight requests from congress over the justice department. let me take one more step back. we, the people of this country, through elected representatives, have given this agency a lot of power. the power to infringe upon a person's civil liberties is a very powerful law. we think it is important we conduct legitimate oversight of this department so that we protect our civil liberties -- liberties as citizens. restore thing to dignity and trust in the doj is transparency, so we can get to the bottom of abuses that may have happened, so we can be accountable and get back to good government. complies, the doj faster we can get on to repairing things. the more they delay, the more they stalemate, the worse it gets. that is what i think devin is trying to describe.

will nunes make good on his threat to hold the deputy attorney general in contempt of congress? we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer. you are in "the situation room." >> this is cnn breaking news. >>> we're following breaking news on the president's zero tolerance immigration policy. the white house is defending a tweet by mr. trump urging deportation without giving undocumented immigrants a day in court. sarah sanders claiming that would not be a denial of due process rights. it sounded like it to many reactions. i will get reaction from chris coones. i will speak with michael aft avenatti. our correspondents are standing by as well. let's go to our chief white house correspondent jim acosta. south carolina, the president getting ready to host a rally in the next hour. update our viewers. >> reporter: that's right. president trump will be campaigning here in south carolina, about an hour from now, later on this evening. he will continue to hammer this issue of immigration tonight and right up until the midterm elections this

paul ryan should have removed devin nunes.mpromised and iis not one that should be so politicized, but for him to allow the whole spygate nonsense to go through for so long, and trey goud e the fact that he's come under the criticism that the fbi did not do what the president of the united states has been claiming, thank god paul ryan came out and said that and thank god paul ryan said that the president is not above the law about the absurdity of him pardoning himself. they would never make that assumption ever. >> double smackdown there that we just heard on the hill. >> yeah. it is a beautiful thing. >> nina, thank you so much. tara, thank you so much to you. you know the philadelphia eagles did not get a white house visit, and the winner of the finals will not get one either and andy scholes explains why in this morning's bleacher report and we'll have that next. (vo) we came here for the friends. and we got to know the friends of our friends. and we found others just like us. and just like that we felt a little less alone

what chairman nunes is expressing is the frustration that all of us have. look, so much of our members, myself included, are very frustrated at the extremely slow pace of compliance of our very legitimate oversight requests by congress over the justice department. let me take it one more step back. we, the people of this country, through our elected representatives, have given this agency a lot of power. and the power to infringe upon a person's civil liberties in the fisa law is a very powerful law. we think it's really important that we conduct very legitimate oversight of this department so that we protect our civil liberties as citizens. if there is abuse, we need to call for it. we need to call it out into the open. the best thing to restore integrity and trust in the d.o.j. is transparency. so that we can get to the bottom of any abuse that may have happened, hold people accountable, get back to good government. and the sooner the d.o.j. complies with congress' very legitimate oversight request, the faster we can get on to repairing things. and the mo

devin nunes received highly sensitive leaks. leaks to the field office maybe contributed to director comey's to sent the infamous october 28 letter a letter that couldn't have come at a worse time, likely impacted the election. last year i asked director comey specifically about leaks to mr. guliani. he acknowledged for the first time that internal investigation was ongoing. director wray, was mr. comey telling the truth in that? he said here that there was an internal investigation about the leaks to mr. guliani. was he correct? >> senator, i can't speak to what director comey -- >> was he correct that there is an an internal investigation john going to the leak to guliani? >> for reasons that i'm sure you can appreciate, i can't confirm or deny the existence of an ongoing investigation, whether there is one or isn't one. >> the only reason i raised it, it was an open hearing. former director said there was such an internal investigation. >> well, there are a number of things that i probably would have done differently. >> mr.

devin nunes, house committee chairman who hasn onboard with this idea has not said anything. you wof there was something that supported the idea that nunes and donald trump had you would have heard it. >> and also, i will say, though, paul ryan saying we have more t. that's a lifeline to the president on this one. that is -- that is a -- it's almost like a significant break from the white house for now ish, but he's leaving it open with that statement until he says i've seen nothing and let's put it to rest, and i don't think paul ryan will say that, ough.s talk about pardons. shan, they're preparing pardons for potentially 30 people, and this is a power exclusive to the president. what do you make of this? >> i think it's an extraordinary abuse of that power. the pardon attorney system in the justice department is a very cautious one. they want to make st the people are deserving. they want to make sure that there's been time for the people to showatonement, that theirliv think it's very interesting in sources attribute the motivation for the president to some instances wher

joining me now to give us his reaction is house intel chair, deven nunes. congressman, this is what we have been waiting for on this matter, on the hillary e-mail matter. your initial reaction? >> the first thing i can think>> of is there was information we got today at 11:00, 12:00 that the chairman had to call and tell me what it was, text messages we had been asking for since late last year. these are text messages that clearly were pertinent to our investigation whether or not there wass collusion. these are e-mails or textss messages that somebody held from us. every day that goes by, there is more information of a congressional obstruction. >> laura: i want to read a page to you. she was worried donald trump was not going to get elected, he answers we'll stop it, no, no, we'll stop it. what does that tell you? the lead investigator. was a lead investigator in the clinton e-mail case. a lead investigator that starts off the counter intelligence investigation using our intelligence agencies to target the trump campaign. but worse than all that, i just w

we don't have all of it and nunes is quite right. we need to get the documents and answers an then make conclusive judgments on it. lou: if we weren't watching a counter truth operation led by suddenly now, the spea speaker e house himself against the president, i would be somewhat more constrained perhaps. but certainly not now with him in full attack on the president. let's turn to the issue of andrew mccabe, the number two guy fired at the fbi. this is a guy looking for immunity before the judiciary committee, you write as always eloquently in the national review, that it shouldn't happen at all. >> well, i'm semp thetic to the people who think it should happen because they're so tired of waiting on answers from the justice department and the fbi they say, let's get this guy in a chair in front of a national tv audience in a congressional hearing and if we have to give him immunity, fine, but let's get answers. if you give him immunity, even if it's just use immunity, they can't use what he says against him in another hearing, the

devin nunes says it does not go far enough. he's demand can the justice department turn over all do related. will nunes get to what he wants and will the report drop a bomb on james and loretta. joing me, chris stirewalt. so let's get into it. what are you hear being this report? reporter: it's as huge expectations. the justice department needs this to in some ways fend off the attackers from i am plaquable critics like nunes. in pair it's to deal with them. and it's top reassure people who can't be con -- who can be convinced. '. '' nunes will never be satisfied so you can almost ignore him. but for folks with pane open mind, this report has to show them something that says they are serious about this, and. had to guess, i would say the bottom of it looks like andrew mccabe. kennedy: he could be facing criminal proceedings. he's also sued the department over what he feels was an unethical and illegal dismissal. let's talk about loretta lynch and james comey. are they going to get a tongue lashinger. >> will they also beat just

this afternoon, that's when nunes is demanding to confirm that informants were used, how many informidepressants were use and how much was spent on operations, all of this after the fbi sent a classified letter to house gop officials disclosing whether the agency used top secret confidential inform neants the trump campaign prior to opening an investigation into russian election meddling. the agency adding that it had forwarded house republicans requests for summaries and transcripts of any conversations between trump officials and informants to the director of national intelligence, but that wasn't enough for nunes who blasted the doj and the fbi in a letter to deputy attorney general rod rosenstein yesterday for quote unilaterally restricting access to some subpoena documents. in the meantime expect fireworks the wednesday before the fourth of july, that's this upcoming wednesday after fbi agent peter strzok is subpoenaed to testify before the house judiciary committee. >> do you think peter strzok may have talked to glen simpson or christopher steele. >> i'm looking forward to hea

congressman nunes raises questions about a potential f.b.i.ray is letting rosenstein and comey transfer their obligations to him and not provide the information that the intelligence committee and other committees in congress are rightfully asking for under their constitutional oversight obligation. this is getting to a point where i really do think congress is going to start taking more aggressive action with subpoenas and charges of contempt and perhaps more. this cannot continue to go on like this. >> eric: what if they get stonewalled by the justice department as they seem to be happening right now? >> they still have the power of impeachment. and i think that rosenstein particularly is vulnerable to that. i cannot imagine how irresponsible he was going out a couple weeks ago making statements in public and then claiming congress was extorting him when all they were doing was using their constitutional right. so this can come to a crisis point. but there is also one other tool, and that is they still report to the president and the preside

rudy giuliani, james calstrom, devin nunes received leaks. news from the new york field office may have contributed to director comey's decision to send the now infamous october 28th letter, a letter that could not have come at a worse time, likely impacted the election. last year i asked director comey specifically about leaks to mr. giuliani. he acknowledged for the first time that internal investigation was ongoing. director wray, was mr. comey telling the truth in that? he said here that there was an internal investigation ongoing to the leaks to mr. giuliani. was he correct? >> senator, i can't speak to what director comey was or wasn't -- >> i'm just asking, was he correct that there is an internal investigation ongoing on be the leaks to mr. giuliani? >> senator, for reasons that i'm sure you can appreciate, i can't confirm or deny the existence of an ongoing investigation, whether there is one or isn't one. >> okay. >> one of the main lessons -- >> the only reason i raise this is an open director hearing director comey said there was

one is the information that devin nunes has rightfully requested since almost a year ago.gave doj and fbi last week to make a decision. that decision was are you going to be part of the coverup team or part of the cleanup team? and i think, based on the results that we saw last week of the documents that we got. it's obvious they are going to be part of the coverup team. pete: why are they still part of the coverup team? >> here we have got some 10,000 documents on one request. pages of documents that have still yet to be delivered to congress. we have another potentially 50,000 pages of documents not being delivered. and here's the interesting thing. of the president delivered 1.2 million documents to doj in 90 days and here we are in nine months we can't even get 25,000 documents. this is what the doj and fbi are saying. they are saying the fbi believes it i it has substantially complied with the majority of the committee's request. and is actively working to identify and produce additional materials on a rolling basis to fulfill the committee's remaining request under t

interestingly, you know, these stories cross because devin nunes sent a letter to the fbi demanding all evidence of contacts between fbi informants and under cover agents and a list of trump campaign officials. and on that list was mike flynn. so apparently devin nunes thinks that mike flynn was at some point talking to an fbi informant, nicolle. >> frank figliuzzi, can you go over the sen 10%ing of mike flynn and the notion they are dealing with ongoing requests for an unprecedented, it would appear, level of detail about an ongoing investigation. >> so, first, a couple thoughts on the flynn sentencing being delayed. first, look, i think what's apparent here is that the president may well intend to pardon flynn. and if you sentence him, the pardon could come down very, very quickly. if you draw this out, it's unlikely the president is going to do a presentencing pardon. so that's one aspect of it. the second is there is a hint here flynn is not fully cooperated or done yet and they want to keep this hanging over his head so that's that -- my theory on that. >>> with regard to the deman

. >> as you know we're dealing , with the intelligence committee on that issue and chairman nunes met with director wray and me. i received the same briefing he received, so i don't know any information beyond that and i can't produce any beyond what the fbi told me. >> are you aware as you sit here today of any payments made to any person to collect intelligence on the trump campaign prior to july 31, 2016? >> no, but keep in mind i wasn't there. i only know what information we've obtained from the fbi records. >> are you as you sit here today aware of any efforts to contact roger stone? >> i don't have personal knowledge, congressman but we , are seeking to respond to chairman nunes'request. >> how about as it regards to michael caputo? >> i wasn't there so i can only answer questions that we direct to the fbi and have them -- you're there now, right? -- >> you're there now, right? have you asked these questions of anyone? >> we have conveyed the questions that chairman nunes has raised. >> you could understand why that if the department of justice represented to a court that this i

the invitation to congressman nunes, of course, stands.'s comments and a spy infiltrating trump's campaign. with congressman kris stuart, a member of the house intelligence committee. congressman stewart, congressman trey gowdy who's seen the documents says that there's no there there that the fbi sent a spy to the trump campaign. and he says others who saw the documents assessed it the same way. do you trust gowdy's assessment? >> i look forward to talking to trey, he's a good friend of mine and he's someone that i really do trust. i don't know who these other members of congress who you say have come to the same conclusion, i don't know any of them that do, but this might be a time where trey and i are going to agree to disagree. unless virtually everything that's been reported on this is untrue. i still have real concerns and i still think we want to pursue this and have a broader look at the documents. >> you say everything that's been reported about it, really what -- the most public things are the things that the president has said a
