bob brooks has more. >> after three days, it's set. the jury for bill cosby's trial is complete. the group will decide if cosby is guilty of indecent assault against former temple employee, andrea constand. >> each morning cosby walked into the allegheny courthouse with the help of a team. the 79 was friend during the one-on-one questioning with each juror present. even asking one juror to speak up and it was brought here to pittsburgh hoping to find impartiality. >> we are trying to get fair and impartial jurors, as i said before, the city and county of pittsburgh and allegheny county the people have been remarkable and the sacrifices they made. and the process did not end without fireworks, many jurors were struck down last night. after the prosecution struck two potential african-american jurors they accused kevin steele of a systematic exclusion of african-americans. he would eventually side with the prosecution. and it so happens that the first potential juror to go through questioning was an african-american man and he was selected for the jury. get ready to pack your bags

brooke? >> so, bob, barbara brings up all of the right nuances of this story regarding turkey and the white houseqqa. is it also a definition of a conflict of interest which is why you cannot have senior military officials getting paid by foreign governments? >> oh, absolutely. this is a complicated issue to the kurds and turkey and this cleric in pennsylvania and the real point is he shouldn't have had a security clearance being in the pay of turkey. and the obama administration did its duty by going to the white house and saying, watch out for this guy, you've got to clear some stuff up, he probably shouldn't have a security clearance. but recklessly, the trump administration said we know what we're doing, we trust him, he's an honorable man and forget the money, which you can't do in washington. when you have a top secret security clearance, you cannot be in the pay of a foreign government, ends of story. >> you remember we talked about -- it's all blurring together but during a white house press briefing and sean spicer was throwing shade on the obama administration and their vetting process

bob mueller as special counsel? no tweets so far this morning. we will see the president. he will be meeting with the president of colombia this afternoon and a news conference is scheduled. chris and brooke. >> joe johns, appreciate it. bob mueller as special counsel is drawing something unusual these days. praise from democrats and republicans and the intelligence community. if you look at it on its face, that is good development. sterling reputation matters and experience matters. where does this lead us? cnn's laura jarrett in washington with more. he is starting off with positive momentum. >> reporter: absolutely, chris. this person has a stellar reputation. widely respected within the fbi and justice department. he was first appointed to be the head of the fbi back in 2001 by president bush. just before 9/11. he is largely credited with rebuilding and transforming the bureau after the attacks. mueller has bipartisan appeal. president obama asked him to stay on at the helm of the fbi two years beyond the normal ten-year term before james comey took over. most importantly, chris, he is supposed to have more autonomy to run the investigation than anyone else might have. the special cou

. >> bob baer, how could what nick just outlined endanger the spies working for the u.s.? >> brookehat trump gave away detai details which people at the meeting might consider compromised the source and called the cia, the national security agency, and said that the president just disclosed classified information which may endanger your sources. so he clearly went beyond discussing that in the press and it's not true. you have to look at the optics of this and this is what really concerns me. the russian foreign minister is in the oval office. trump doesn't bring up the hacking of our elections with 17 intelligence agencies have confirmed. he gives a gift to the russians, whatever this intelligence was, about the islamic state and the previous day he fires comey. if i'm a russian in moscow considering working for the united states, i'd tell you right now i wouldn't do it because the president might blurt something out. this does major, major damage to the fbi and every other intelligence agency when these unauthorized leaks -- and i don't care whether the president is authorized or

. >> but to your point, brooke, if, indeed, the special counsel bob mueller is doing the most comprehensiveng in the election, then you are right, it will be curious to see if there are contemporaneous notes about comey's thought process surrounding this memo. >> david, thank you. garret, thank you as well. more on our breaking news today. another rejection to the president's travel ban in the fourth circuit court blocking the ban. what this means politically and what the white house's next steps legally are. more on cnn. d into the paint store feeling like you should really know more than you know? satin versus semi-gloss, and...i don't know! [team member] yes...i know the feeling. [customer] that's how i feel right now about all the financing options for this project i'm doing. i feel like i should know more than i know. [team member] don't sweat it. we have this new tool--my credit options guide-- that gives you a customized comparison like this, which helps you discover which credit options might be right for you. [customer] oh, this is better. they should make one for paint. [team memb

bob casey there. tems how are the centers feeling? what did doo they want? >> thanks, brooked that's a question we are going to ask senator casey. senator casey, how far are democrats willing to go to press their demands for a special prosecutor? >> we've got to focus on this urgent issue, which means if we have to take steps to get the administration to focus on reporting a special council, i think it's necessary of them to do that. i asked them investigate the alleged lings between the trump campaign and the russian government before. but we keep hearing that they're not prepared to do that. 24 american people want answers, then this is one way to press them to do just that. >> so what are you doing? are you going to continue to address them and aderholt the senate effectively? >> even if someone out there says i agree with everything the deputy attorney general put in his memorandum, you could still say it was totally inappropriate to fire the head of the agency that's investigating the ties between this administration ask the campaign and of course the alleged ties to the

bob mueller. >> and i was talking to the political drirector david chalin and he said, "brooke, grab the popcorn." he says that nation has not seen a hearing like this since au knee ta hill,-- since anita hild where are your expectations? >> well, david may be right, and what eric said, he won't talk about much on the day that he was fired as fbi drirector, and think about what president trump may have unleashed by firing him. if you are serving the president, the statement that you always can make, and that gets around every question is, i'm terribly sorry, i don't speak about the personal conversations that i have or the policy conversations that i have with the president, and the advise i give in, and the instructions that i received and the presidential conversations are considered off limits, but what has happened here is by firing comey he has, the president trump has essentially freed up mr. comey to gout and begin discussing at least those conversations. so, since it has already appeared in the "new york times" and elsewhere that he had taken the notes and felt pressured, the leaks almos

brooke. >> nic in saudi arabia, thank you. covering this incredibly significant trip for the president. let's go back to former federal prosecutor, you worked with bobaid this just hours after firing the director and now seeing the backlash. >> well, the naivety of the president to think that by firing the director of the fbi he was going to somehow ease the pressure on him is start tellli me. in the letter of termination to comey, the president writes that, "i am grateful, mr. comey, that you reassured me three times that i am not the target of your investigation" and now the next day he's saying, essentially, i was the target of the investigation and i fired him and this eased the pressure on me and so now russia, you, we, can restart our relationship. now, i'm not talking at all geo politically, whether we restart our relationship with russia or whether we don't, it's not my purview. but there's that old expression from the world war posters of loose lips sink ships. and it strikes me that if you're going to do a deal with the president in some respects, it undermines your confidence and the ability to maintain the integrity of your conversations

bob redell, he is live after speaking with one of the latest home whoer homeowner victims. >> reporter: one of the overnight success vicious car fires here happened right here on hollow brooke court while the familiar was still inside. they wonder what would have happened if it weren't for a neighbor who happened to be leaving for work early this morning. >> i'd be in the hospital or worse. simple as that. that's why i'm frustrated, i don't understand how anyone could choose to do that. >> reporter: fortunately for john, his next door neighbor repeatedly rang his door bell at 3:30 this morning to alert him to the fact that his chevy avalanche was engulfed in about flames in about his driveway, at risk of setting his house on fire. john was able to evacuate his wife, 6-year-old twins and their grandmother. >> our daughter doesn't stop talking about it. she wants to know why the truck melt tell her? >> somebody set it on fire. >> reporter: while firefighters were saving john's house at 3:28 this morning, another car burst into flames at 3:36 at a home on highland way. only 8 minutes later, and just a half mile away. the fire department tells us that the time and proximity alo
