. ♪ >> welcome into the cnn newsroom i'm dave brigs in new york.omey or president trump? we could find out "the washington post" the next two weeks, that's how long the press has given the the president to turn over tapes if they exist. the president who first threatened that it may still exist won't actually say. >> do tapes exist of your conversations with him? >> i'll tell you about that maybe sometime in the near dear future. >> you seem to be hinting that there are. >> i'm not hinting anything i'll tell you about it over a very short period of time. >> while donald trump claims total vindication the investigation is far from over, anything it's only heating up. take a look, the senate could get copies of james comey's memo as early as monday and on tuesday sessions will be grilled about his role in comey's firing when he testify before a senate panel. then, there's the question of whether we could hear from the president himse

campaign trail for years so we're going to make it happen, and it not that easy when you have this brigsay that democrats are sitting back on the pure kind of theater of this thing saying we had 60 votes back when we passed obamacare, but it wasn't easy getting b getting bernie sanders who wants socialized health care. >> it's one thing to run on repealing obamacare, it's another thing to go home and look people in the eye and say you have health care right now and you won't have it tomorrow. getting health care from the government is the hardest and most politically toxic thing that you can do in washington. and they have to do this in a way that doesn't seem like they're leaving people out to dry. >> it sounds like those benefits are pretty terrible sometimes. it's become a battle of incrementalism, it's not a sexy argument. and conservatives make the point, which is actually sort of fair, guess what, they're literally going to call us murderers no matter what we offer, so we might as well offer what we want. i do not fault them for thinking that. >> thanks to the president of the uni

now in a military brig at quantico, nine months of solitary confinement before her court-martial evenlled it cruel and inhuman. >> right. >> reporter: manning ultimately pled guilty to some charges and after a two-month-long court-martial -- >> the verdict, the army private convicted of leaking america's secrets, but spared of the most serious charge, aiding america's enemies. >> reporter: the sentence handed down the longest ever for spilling classified information. here you are, 25 years old. when they said 35 years in prison, what went through your mind? >> you're thinking more about -- how am i going to get through the next day? >> reporter: manning's appeals lawyers, vince ward, david hammond, and nancy hallendchl er say the military was trying to make an example of her. >> they overcharged and they overreacted. >> and tried to turn it into the case of the century. >> set the whistle-blowers free! >> reporter: her case striking a nerve about the precarious balance between government accountability -- >> no, he shouldn't be prosecuted. >> reporter: and protecting the nation's secr

. >> we were just talking about the instability in britain after their brig election. possibility that prime minister theresa may may not be prime minister for long. that they may have to hold another election very soon. they had this referendum to brexit that was going to get them out of the european union. europe has all this uncertainty. our closest ally has all this uncertainty and will be in a vulnerable position for a very long time. are we also in a volatile and weak position as a country because of the scandal that hangs over this president? is it a big enough scandal there's uncertainty about the future of this presidency and our political volatility as a country? >> first of all, i certainly think it's serious enough to be concerned about the future of this particular presidency. i think it's too great to say the very vitals of the country because after all, the institutions are performing pretty well in the country. the courts are performing well. parts of the congress seem to come -- pretty well. our system of checks and balances, including the press are ve

we're going to bridget the divides that exist in society that we talked about earlier, we need to be brig people together from different backgrounds, and we need to change it because the effect of a college education at a place like princeton, for a student coming out of a disadvantaged background with talent and determination, can be utterly transformative in a student's life. the data suggests if you can get them on a campus like princeton if they have the ability to do the work it will be transformative process for their future. >> in the past, a low-income student was named michelle robinson, now michelle obama, and one sotomayor. >> yes. and they both talk about what it was like to come to princeton from their backgrounds and enter this environment in 1970s and early '80s when they came to princeton which was a very foreign environment and talk about this extraordinary impact that had on their lives and set them up for the leadership careers they pursued. >> schoolsreich princeton are known for engaged alumni and you've heard from some who said wait a second, what's wrong with the ki

i'm dave brigs. i'm sure he's happy to have his family there. >> i'm christine romans. alone too long or bad things happen. >>> the senate intelligence committee has not confirmed whether attorney general jeff sessions will testify tomorrow in an open or closed session or whether the hearing will actually happen. as sessions said in a letter, or whether it will happen at all since some senators are concerned this is a gambit by sessions to avoid testifying in public about russian election meddling. >> if and when the hearing does happen it should be another pivotal day of congressional testimony. democratic minority leader chuck schumer says sessions has four key questions to answer. >> first, did he interfere with the russian investigation before he recused himself? second, what safeguards are there now so that he doesn't interfere? third, he says he was involved in the firing of comey and the president said comey was fired because of russia. how does that fit in with his recusal? it doesn't seem to stand up well to me. and fourth, he's been involved in the selection o

. >> in case you missed it, retired general brig dare callaway on the threat of climate change on national security. >> if you go back to older field manuals, there's one in the 1980 sz, that said whether it's the runways that have to be open sole you can land on them, whether it's the open seas or whether it's the hill you're going to climb, when they're in change, and they are in change right now, the military is concerned about that. so the military has long had an interest in dealing with things like this and forecasting what might happen. >> and then at a town hall meeting. >> i wonder why you don't just have a single payer -- >> you know what i said in the ginning of the meeting and that is that interruptions, you know, are not going to be tolerated. okay, would you please sit down, sir? she has the floor, you do not. would you please sit down or go out in the hallway? thank you for leaving. >> maine senator angus king at a hearing on the foreign intelligence surveillance act. >> i'll ask both of you the same question. why are you not answering these questions? is there an invocation

it was front and center in global politics, but need a brig i have been remiss about.y in "the new york times." bring it up here. this is the idea of where we are in syria. recent four increase in noncombatant deaths is the united states is dropping more bombs, an increase from the obama presidency. there is no longer any public accountability. over the weekend, we had the public accountability of a u.s. jet shooting down a syringe it. micah: the initial adversary was going after isis. it has devolved into the mission of the forced protection, which is protected u.s. forces operating in syria and their partners on the ground. we have adopted a new adversary to protect our forces. tom: i believe the path is 40 years with afghanistan. is syria a new afghanistan or iraq? micah: syria will be like lebanon in the future. it will be agreements between the various parties, but it will be at war for a long time. the question is, what is the role of the united states to broker peace? it is not an endearing one. they do not want the united states their long-term. we're done with
