. >> tonight, what we learned and where we go from here with congressman adam schiff. and democrats continue to ling the alarm on the gop's secret trumpcare plan. >> will it let insurance companies drop prescription drug coverage or kick people off medicare? >> senator warren, i can't answer that. >> when "all in" starts right now. >>> good evening from new york. i'm chris hayes. in sworn testimony today before the senate intelligence committee, attorney general jeff sessions proved an often evasive witness, saying he couldn't recall details about meetings with the russian ambassador and refusing to answer questions about his conversations with the president despite acknowledging the president has made no executive privilege claim. but on the question of collusion or possible collusion between russian operatives and the trump campaign on which he was a key adviser, the attorney general was unambiguous. >> the suggestion that i participated in any collusion, that i was aware of any collusion with the russian government to hurt this country, which i have served with hono

also new today, house intel ranking member adam schiff made the case for an obstruction investigation. >> the same people that say there's no evidence of collusion say there's no evidence of obstruction and the president indeed cannot commit obstruction. i don't buy that. if you look at james comey's testimony and we were trying this in the court of law, no judge would exclude that, that would be relevant evidence as to potential obstruction. >> let's go to the white house now and kelly o'donnell. another in day to you. all of this reaction to the president's claim that he's under investigation and then the pushback by his attorney, can you make hide nor hair of it? >> reporter: it comes under the headings of tweets that cause hatles for the white house. the president put something out on twitter and then when the legal team or the white house is trying to decipher how it fits into the larger issue it's problematic. we reported yesterday that the sources close to the president's legal team say he had not been notified he's under investigation. it is their belief that he is not under i

- well, i trust the judgment and statement of my ranking member, adam schiff. isn't he wonderful? have you seen him? he's so wonderful. and, from texas we have congressman castro on the committee as well. (crowd applauds) and, he's been wonderful in that regard. so, i'm hopeful. i have the longest experience on intelligence in the congress, been there since like the early to mid 90s as a member, and as the ranking member and also ex officio as speaker and leader. so, i know something about that territory and i trust, i think you always have to be trusting that they can be. but, what we do need and 67% of the american people agree in the most recent poll today, we must have an outside independent commission to study (crowd applauds) what do the russians have on donald trump personally, politically, and financially? - well, the financial part gets me back to this question of tax reform because some of your party have suggested no tax reform without tax returns because we need to understand how tax reform would benefit this president. and, the reality is that even if you leave tax re

lou: adam schiff running scared.s the senate intelligence committee. >> i think this unmasking thing is at least half of the story of along with the leaks of everything else. investigate the whole russian issue, but let's not forget the leaks and the unmasking. lou: i have to take exception to the whole russian issue. the dnc, and it's that simple. michael, thanks. randy, thank y y y y y dream to breaking news this morning. fbi, cia and nsa ottawa subpoenas over the mystique of american spirit to many documents in gourmet top above officials is not national national security adviser michael flynn and president trump's personal lawyer michael cohen. good morning. i'm cheryl casone. lauren: good morning. i'm trained for. academy blaming russia for her loss. we love the story for you. cheryl: will we stay or will we

adam schiff told reporters that he doesn't intend to take this as the last word. that was his words and said he would wait for an official response from the white house about the tapes, preferably in writing. so you know while the tapes themselves might be a moot point right now, the conversations with james comey and intelligence officials like dan coates and admiral mike rogers, they will continue to be parsed in what may be any obstruction of justice investigation, jake. >> all right jessica snyder, thank you so much. joining me now to discuss, al franken of minnesota, he serves on the judiciary committee, if anybody heard your laugh, it was you laughing and you were laughing because jeh johnson did not say anything about there not being any collusion and president trump tweeted something not true about what johnson said. tell people why you're laughing about that. >> of course. you know, just, of course the president is going to claim something that is completely hollow and false. that's what he does. so i just -- i laugh a lot. >> you're a laugher, you enjoy

as adam schiff points out, it's not really fun at all. you have to wonder why donald trump tweeted this in the first place. the spin from his allies is that he wanted to make sure that james comey told the truth, that he wasn't under investigation. but the irony, of course, is what occurred, that the truth that ended up coming out, is james comey's testimony that he had tried to get him to drop the flynn investigation. because as a result of this leak, comey got nervous, as a result of trump's tweet, comey got nervous, and then he -- you know, he ended up calling his friend, leaking a document, which told us that trump had tried to get him to stop the investigation. so it completely boomeranged. >> jeff, is this a distraction to distract from the senate health care? >> you know, this whole story raises questions to me about our jobs as journalists. because this whole story was like sort of like "seinfeld." it was about nothing. there was never -- there were never any tapes. there's a tweet saying there were tapes. now there are no tapes.

i'll talk to adam schiff, he's the ranking democrat on the intelligence committee and republican senator rand paul, who says he opposes the health care bill as it currently is written. and our correspondents, specialists and guests are also standing by for full coverage of the day's top stories. six weeks after he seemed to threaten fired fbi director james comey, with a rather bizarre tweet about recorded conversations, president trump finally confessed today that he has no tapes. let's go straight to our white house correspondent, take us through this. >> reporter: hi wolf, it's been a bizarre month and a half since the president posted that suggested tweet back in may. for weeks now, white house officials, including the president, refused to answer what should be a yes or no question, does the president have recordings of his conversations with james comey? now senior administration official told cnn it became clear today that the president would have to answer this question before tomorrow's deadline set by the house intelligence committee to turn over any tapes. so now we finally ha

earlier today i spoke with adam schiff. the fact that the president now after 41 days said he did not record any conversations with jim comey, i wonder what your reaction is? >> my reaction is, if he didn't record these conversations, they don't exist, why did he suggest that they did. was this an effort to intimidate james comey? was it an effort to discourage other people from speaking out? apparently the president does have a history in his private business and in litigation of threatening people with recordings as a way of intimidating him. is that what was going on here? and if it was, why wait so long to be straight with the american people? so obviously a lot of questions raised by what he has just tweeted out today. we can't, i think, in our investigation take this as the last word. we still need the white house to get back to us. because even in as far as he tweeted that he doesn't have tapes, didn't record them himself, he still left open the possibility that tapes exist. so we need the white house to go on record

i'll talk to the ranking member of the house intelligence committee democratic congressman adam schiff and democratic senator martin heinrich of the senate intelligence committee. they are standing by live and our correspondents, specialists and guests are also standing by with full coverage of the day's top stories. let's begin with the truly stunning revelations from the fired fbi director james comey. let's go to our chief national security correspondent jim sciutto. jim, take us through comey's statement to the senate intelligence committee. >> reporter: well, wolf, today in the simplest terms james comey contradicted the president of the united states. on may 18th when asked whether he had urged comb in any way, shape or form to ease up on the flynn investigation, trump said at a news conference no. he repeated no and then told reporters to move on to the next question. today comby in great detail lays out exactly the opposite scenario, and he also adds that mr. trump demanded the loyalty of one of the nation's top law enforcement officials when the president was in a position to

because now that -- as adam schiff said, they're going to keep investigating.ly didn't go away, but i think the white house can now say, well, we've given you an answer, you have to stop asking us about it. >> all right. more to come, for sure. john harwood, eliza collins, great to see both of you. thank you for your time this morning. >> good to be here. >>> so premium sticker shock. we're going to get into the issue if the gop health care bill becomes law, what's the key price difference? we have a key architect of obamacare sizing it up. and next, why has the congressional black caucus declined an invitation to meet with the president? i didn't really know anything about my family history. went to ancestry, i put in the names of my grandparents first. i got a leaf right away. a leaf is a hint that is connected to each person in your family tree. i learned that my ten times great grandmother is george washington's aunt. within a few days i went from knowing almost nothing to holy crow, i'm related to george washington. this is my cousin george. discover your

in that case, there would be such a reaction of democrats and republicans in congress that what adam schiff said, that we'd resurrect the independent counsel law and have judges appoint an independent counsel beyond the president's reach. hopefully mueller once again would take effect, would happen. so this is absurd. it is, again, if the president -- i'd say this to the president and all the people around him. if you've done nothing wrong, why are you so afraid of people looking into it? >> senator schumer, i have more than i want to ask you about, including the other big thing that's happening simultaneously in the senate right now alongside this russia investigation. can you stick around for just a minute, sir? >> i will stick around. >> okay. senator chuck schumer. we'll be back with him. when you booked this trip, you didn't know we had over 26,000 local activities listed on our app. or that you could book them right from your phone. a few weeks ago, you still didn't know if you were gonna go. now the only thing you don't know, is why it took you so long to come here. expedia. everythi

. >> ranking democrat on the house intelligence committee, adam schiff. >> to criticize obama now issome one knowingly receiving stolen property, blaming the police for not stopping the theft. so, donald trump is in no position to complain here. >> now the president has made two visits to his golf property in virginia, this weekend. but the white house says, he is actively involved in communicating with republicans on health care. the president has been in contact with senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. officials say he is opening to meeting with concerned senators in the coming days. >> thank you, errol. >> big week ahead at the supreme court. justices are wrapping up their session for the year with several rulings expected. possibly retirement announcement. paula reid ouside the supreme court tonight. what can we expect tomorrow? >> the justices usually save their most important cases for the last day of the term. >> the trump administration believes it is the best chance to have it upheld. reena those who oppose the travel ban say it was to be temporary, 90 days, by the time

adam schiff said the tweets today raised even more questions.ting in a statement, have the president had no tape, why did he suggest otherwise? was he trying to intimidate or silence james comey? if so, did he take other steps to discourage potential witnesses from speaking out? the no tape tweets came hours after the president was in a rally in iowa. to promote his administration's agenda and the two republican victories in the special election. monetizing the portable with solar panels was a topic you discussed. >> lots of sun. lots of heat. we are thinking about building the wall as a solar wall so it creates energy. and pays for itself. >> the president also said he would ask congress to limit access to welfare programs for new immigrants u.s. for a period of time. >> those seeking admission into our country must be able to support themselves financially and should not use welfare for a period of at least five years. >> the president also raised a few eyebrows and what appeared to be a bit of an off the script moment, lauding the success and

the other four were at the behest of adam schiff. these were said to be duplicate to have but ones already issued by the senate intelligence committee conducting a parallel probe. both president trump and the russians have denied collusion allegations freed the subpoenas instigated by adam schiff are focused on michael flynn. and michael cohen, longtime trump attorney. michael cohen has denied colluding with the kremlin. flint has sought immunity in exchange for congressional testimony. the issuance of the subpoenas was first reported by "the wall street journal" ." >> bret: james, thank you. more on this with the panel. now to the first track of the two track investigation. lawmakers tell fox we are finally going to hear from our hosted fbi chief james comey on a host of issues and we are told the testimony could come within days about what president trump said to comey about the michael flynn investigation. chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge has the stor story. >> a source close to the investigations has fired a fa

ranking democrat, liberal congressman adam schiff he said this.y attention. >> the allegation of course is that the russians and the hacking and dumping of documents during the election had essentially relationships with trump campaign people, and coordinated those efforts. now, the fbi open investigation into that issue in july, well before congress did, but i am not prepared to say there is proof you can take to a jury, but i can say, there is enough that we ought to be investigating. indeed, it would be negligent for us not to investigate. >> sean: jay, i want us to get into this, because this is become like russia trump conspiracy, like a truther's. it has gotten so bad, every intelligence official, every democratic congressman, nobody has any evidence of collusion. 11 months of media lies. why now are they moving on to, what, obstruction? and if that doesn't work, there move on to financial issues. at what point does this investigative creep and? >> what the president said is actually correct. this is a witch hunt it's as if you have a false

now the ranking democrat, the house intelligence committee, congressman adam schiff, he is also slamminghe former president. hard to believe, but watch this. >> the american people needed to know and i didn't think it was enough to tell them after the election. but rather given the spirits of this administration, if you call about russia earlier, it needed an act to deter and punish russia earlier, and i think it was a very serious mistake. >> sean: that's correct, we the people needed to know. the question tonight is, if president obama knew what russia was doing back in august of 2016, why didn't he act? remember, democrats have been claiming for russia interference, which were the ruptured, didn't change actual vote tallies according to every top government official who is specified, but it was so egregious that it threatens the very foundation of this country. if that's the case, why did obama stay silent? the answer we now know is simple. according to a report, the president didn't do any investigation because he actually thought hillary was going to win. let me translate here. the

ranking democrat on the house intelligence committee, congressman adam schiff, joins me.gressman, thanks for being here. let's put aside for the sake of discussion talk of collusion. let's just talk about the threat from russia, if we can, in this block. if president trump is not willing to engage when it comes to russian election interference in the past and potentially in the future, what are the ramifications? >> well, they're very serious because the best defense that we can have against further russian sipe cyber attacks on our election or sbemps in our public affairs is a well informed public, neither of which is possible if the president himself won't acknowledge what has happened. probably the easiest way to look at this is what should the president be doing that he is not? first he should confront russia over what they did. he should be plain that it won't be tolerated again, that there will be severe repercussions, and second, he ought to be leveling with the american people and say, look, this is what russia did. if they do this again, democrats and republicans

we also from from gabrielle giffords, we about to hear from adam schiff. you were a member who attended that all member briefing today? >> yes, and you're right. members are deeply concerned about security. i get a sense that many members are seeing a real escalation in the number of death threats. i think we have all gotten those threats from time to time, but they do seem to have escalated given the deterioration. . there is a real concern that this kind of thing is happening with what feels like increasing frequency. >> i want to share with you a statement from gabrielle giffords. we remember how shocking it was whin they announced that she would be doing a corner meeting with her constituents and what happened with her injury, and she says i'm heart broken for the pain, thankful for the great courage of the capitol police that were my protectors and friends. i know steve and everyone there this morning have up great courage and great supply. love for their friends and family and the ability to go about making this country the best. we always come back

yesterday adam schiff said he pushed the administration to be more declarative earlier on.'ve learned about some of the debates that happened on capitol hill with senate republican leaders, mitch mcconnell, others suggesting not to go public with this information, raising concerns that it could be viewed at a partisan move, if they were to do that, that early on, and, remember, harry reid, then senate democratic leader sent a letter to james comey saying that he possesses potentially damaging information about collusion or coordination with a trump campaign and russian officials and urged him to put that public. that didn't happen. a significant debate internally within the obama administration. we saw what they ended up doing. clearly, some folks don't think it was enough. >> interesting in the statement, october 7th, jeh johnson, james clapper put ow, we believe based on the scope and sensitivity of these efforts that only russia's senior most officials could have authorized these activities. the president knew it was putin personally, but in the statement they said, seni

intelligence committee cross partisan lines, democratic adam schiff listed here, saying he thinks the obama administration waited too long to warn the american people last year about russian cyber attacks aimed at influencing the election. >> why did we wait from july until october to make that statement? >> i'm going to disagree with your premise that there was some type of delay, this was a big decision, and there were a lot of decisions that went into it. this was an unprecedented step. first as you know well, we have to carefully consider whether declassifying the information compromises sources and methods. second, there was an ongoing election and many would criticize us for perhaps taking sides in the election. so that had to be carefully considered. one of the candidates, as you recall, was predicting that the election was going to be rigged in some way. >> republicans like trey gowdy recall how the democratic national committee refused to cooperation with the fbi and the department of homeland security despite being warned russia had hacked into it's computer system. >> dnc n

adam schiff doesn't. what are we talking about here with the never-ending russia discussion? now because they couldn't find collusion. now because it's the obama administration responsible for doing absolutely nothing from august to january with the knowledge that russia was hacking into our election. they did nothing. they're responsible for this. nobody has any evidence of collusion. now we're going to -- i have a question for the obama administration. why did you quote, choke in the name of one of your senior officials? why did you do nothing to inform can't trump. i know you thought hillary would win. how could you not reveal information? when the president found out about it in january, he said it was a disgrace. he believes russia was behind it. he think other people hacked too. i think the previous administration has questions to answer given this russian obsession by everyone. >> perhaps they do. the white house did -- the intelligence agencies in october did reveal that russia had been involved in the election. and president trump consistently has dismissed that. it

congressman adam schiff is a member of the house committee.d 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

adam schiff, no credibility. chuck schumer, no credibility. these people lost the election. only way they can keep the trump agenda from being enacted is to distract us on the side that somehow that trump and won the election unfairly. he is the president of the united states. host: who does have credibility on capitol hill douglas? as you watch these hearings, who do you think has conducted themselves well and with credibility? caller: it's become so partisan, it's heart breaking. it's hard to know -- there was a call in my local paper here that the american people can smell insincerity right through the tv screen. it's true. i really don't have an answer to that question because if this is such an important issue, if russia is such a threat in the democrats say they wanted to drag this on for years and get to the bottom of this and keep having more hearings and committees they're being insincere. let's do something about it. dragging it on and trying to smear the president and stop the agenda that he he was elected to carry out, it doesn't make any sense to me. host: the c

on "state of the union," adam schiff, a democrat and ranking member on the intelligence three, agreed. >> the american people needed to know. i didn't think it was enough to tell them after the election. rather, given the seriousness of this, i think the administration needed to call out russia earlier, needed to act to deter and punish russia earlier, and i think that was a very serious mistake. >> reporter: schiff went on to see that even though president obama could have done more, it doesn't change the fact that president trump was part of the problem -- egging wikileaks and even russia on, telling them in emails to reveal -- telling them to reveal emails from hillary clinton's private server. it looks like president trump is using obama's inaction to deflect on his campaign's possible collusion with russia which he has denied. trump tweeted, "hillary clinton concluded with the democratic party in order to beat crazy bernie sanders. is she allowed to so collude? unfair to bernie." this, of course, comes at a time where special robert mueller continues his investigation. and at lea

well, appearing on where else cnn on sunday, congressman adam schiff of california, who is the top democrathouse intel committee said that president obama should have interfered more in the election in order to stop alleged russian interference. >> i think the obama administration should have done a lot more when it became clear that not only was russia intervenes but it was being directed at the highest levels of the kremlin, given the seriousness of this, i think the administration needed to call out russia earlier. needed to act to deter and punish russia earlier. i think that was a very serious mistake. >> tucker: he is not alone. there is a song sheet going around in addition to schiff hymes and falwell recent guests on this show have criticized obama in the last week. why the sudden attacks on the democrats' former leader? weird. victor david hanson fellow at the hoover administration and cal state fresno he joins us tonight. what is this about? >> i think the whole political landscape, the investigatory landscape and the cultural landscape is starting to shift. trump may be victoriou

adam schiff said the obama administration should have reacted more strongly when they found out that the kremlin was trying to interfere in the election. >> adam schiff, an outspoken democrat on this issue. john podesta testifying behind closed doors. roger stone, a longtime ally of donald trump, we also learn is going to be testifying before that very same house committee. what do we know? >> yes. roger stone confirmed yesterday that he is going to testify before the committee on july 24. he has said repeatedly he wanted it to be an open session. the xh tcommittee request it be closed. here is the statement that roger stone gave me yesterday. i am confident that podesta most likely repeated his lie that i knew about the hacking of his e-mail and i'm anxious to rebut this falsehood. i'm unhappy my testimony will be be in public. i believe it's important to resolve the problem of russian collusion with the trulmp campaign that i believe is non-existence. the lie is the tweet that came from roger stone in august of 2016 when he said john podesta was next in the barrel. two months later

seem to be getting along much better, adam schiff and mike conway who took over for devon nunes who recusedlf supposedly from this investigation. >> if they are going to come out and give a joint statement, that's pretty rare for the house side, at least in the past couple of months given the incredible partisanship on this investigation, and the fact that if they are going to say that they learned something, just that in and of itself is interesting in that because of the partisan disarray, frankly, it -- in that committee, the focus has been on the senate intelligence committee, the up that's really been genuinely working in a bipartisan way, the committee that's going to have comey before them hon thursday. >> how prepared is the trump white house to deal with the fallout from the comey testimony? >> i don't know. i'm ready for donald trump live tweeting the comey testimony. >> i'm not. >> there was a lot of talk about setting up a war room and making it official and -- and bringing people in no do that, and now our reporters at the white house today are saying that's not the case, that

the top democrat on the house intel committee, adam schiff tweeting "if president fired bob mueller, congress would immediately re-establish special counsel and appoint bob mueller. don't waste our time." for the latest, we bring in senior white house correspondent jim acosta. >> reporter: christine and dave, a friend of the president said mr. trump is considering the possibility of firing special prosecutor robert mueller. news max editor chris ruddy told pbs the president is actually weighing such a dramatic move, but a source close to the president told cnn there are many people advising the president to not fire mueller. here's what ruddy told pbs. >> i think he's considering perhaps terminating the special counsel. i think he's weighing that option. i think it's pretty clear by what one of -- [ inaudible ] i personally think it would be a very significant mistake. >> reporter: white house press secretary sarah sanders only told cnn that ruddy speaks for himself. and a white house official also told cnn that ruddy did not see the president before making these remarks. dave and ch
