." >>> a split between burr and others. breaking, an angry outburst by senator burr aimed at michael cohen. he postponed testimony that was scheduled for today. burr said any good will that might have existed between the committee and cohen is now gone. i will talk about the breaking news with ted liu and our correspondents and specialists are standing by. first let's go to manu raju on capitol hill for us tonight. it's a rare public split between the chairman and the vice-chairman of the really important committee. what's the latest? >> reporter: for two years, this committee has been investigating russian interfeesference into russia. one issue that has been a partisan split that has mostly occurred behind closed doors has been about whether or not there was collusion between the trump campaign and the russians. in recent weeks, richard burr, the chairman, has gone public and said what he has seen is no evidence that suggests there's any collusion whatsoever. that's given the president fodder on the campaign trail. saying

at the end of the day mueller may come out and say senator burr was right.the end of the day he may come out and say senator warner was right. >> the other big question this morning is what the heck is going on with michael cohen? honestly pelt ducked out of closed door testimony at the senate intelligence committee after ducking out of testimony to house oversight and he upset senator burr. listen to what he had to say. >> he's already stiffed us on being in washington today because of an illness, yet on twitter a reporter reported he was having a wild night saturday night eating out in new york with five buddies. didn't seem to have any physical limitations and he was out with his wife last night. well, i would prefer to get him before he goes to prison. but, you know, the way he's positioning himself not come together committee, we may help him go to prison. >> we have a picture of what senator burr was talk about that. a reporter did tweet out had a lovely din they're. wait, who's that there? it's michael cohen greeting tables he's leaves a three-hour di

. >> we saw senator burr. let me fifth to. this i want to focus on senator burr who suggested, chair of senate intel suggesting there is no evidence of trump/russia collusion. is that the view on the house side as well? >> well, before i publicly state

burr: i'm an unrepen tent mama's boy. i was blessed. my dad had this idea of naming a school after a black lady who was still living. she came to dad daddy's funeral when she was 11 years old. there's death threats, squad car. daddy was sitting on the front porch with an old winchester that was his daddy's and now it's mine. i thought we were going hunting. e received some death threats. my dad defended his family to the nth degree. thankfully nothing became of that. mama was a wonderful woman. she was the youngest of seven. and didn't have electricity until she was a senior in high school. i remember during a blizzard we i cameknoxville in 1994, home and the power was off and daddy was heating up his coffee on an old coleman stove and mama had pulled the curtain it's open to the slight would come in and she was grading school papers. she was a school teacher. and people were just -- know, what do we do about water? there's three feet of snow outside. you melt water, you know. but they were just wonderful, wonderful people. they were go

senator burr was with the president's former lawyer. he was scheduled to testify today behind closed doors. he decided he could nn't come. listen to senator burr. >> i can asusure you that is gone. he has asked for his return. he has already on being in washington today. in twitter they reported he was having a wild night saturday night eating out with five buddies. didn't seem to have any physical limitations. i think he clearly rises to one of the people i would every i could to make sure we got his testimony. i would prefer to get him before he goes to prison. you know, the way he is positioning himself not coming to the committee we may help him go to prison. >> senator burr is usually pretty mild mannered. he doesn't often speak like that. it is pretty unusual. >> it is. i think he likes to witnesses to show up when they are scheduled to show up. we'll talk about that and i talk to someone close to michael cohen. their argument is look, he had shoulder surgery and then he was struck with the flu. he told the committee that. they ca

senator burr, we're coming in less than two weeks.staff probably didn't tell you that when you went on television yesterday. there are no false excuses. he went out to dinner with his wife. he's coming within the next two weeks. you knew that and didn't tell everyone. that's disappointing, but i still think you're a good guy. >> when is he going to speak? >> here waiting for senate intelligence committee to announce that. they know the date. i think senator burr knows the date. >> do you? >> yes, i do. >> can you tell us? >> i don't want to irritate senator burr who was irritated yesterday. i have no idea why he doubted that michael cohen could go out to dinner with his wife and still be sick. i think senator burr will believe he was really sick when he talks to him. >> have you made arrangements to get cohen in front of them? >> yes. >> in the next three weeks he's going to do the interviews? >> yes. >> and tell them what? >> conspiracy minded washington, there is no excuse other than michael cohen who has been through a difficult ti

this is the statement of chairman richard burr. "if we write a report based on the facts that we have and we don't have anything that would suggest that there was collusion by the trump campaign in russia, pulsed up." that is the bipartisan part of that committee and i agree with juan. it was done in a bipartisan fashion and carries a lot of credibility. and at some point -- i think at some point, look the reality is democrats have been in search of a reason why they lost this election. the bottom line is, they ran a poor campaign. hillary ran a poor campaign. donald trump someone spoke to someone forgot americans and most people didn't give us the respect we deserved. the bottom line, we when they lost. the collusion they've been searching for to make up the execution why they lost does not exist. >> martha: as i said in the beginning we wait for robert muller's report and we will see what is and they and even senator burr left the coffee out there could be something else that comes up along the way but as you point out, sean they

let's go. >> in terms of chairman burr there with michael cohen and what not, but the burr-warner riftand that hasn't been discussed enough because since this investigation began they have been intentionally working hand in glove. they know this investigation with how sensitive it is it can't be political or seen as political and it was such a dramatic contrast to the house intelligence committee leaders in the first two years of the precedence we devin nunes and adam schiff, but right now the heart of this dispute, if you want to call it that is the fact that burr and warner don't necessarily disagree on the facts. they're kind of disagreeing on what they mean at this point and right now warner is saying it's too premature. look, there's no factual evidence and that's what the problem is right now with the leadership. >> even though there's been a good working side, there's been frustration on the dechl democratic side and warner's side that there's only so much the committee can do constrained as they are by the mueller investigation on one side and by the resources of the committee

senator burr has said, we've had a lot of hearings and we haven't seen any evidence of collusion.or warner, the democrat, is silent on that question. he's avoiding the question of whether they have no evidence so far, whether what he's saying is, we shouldn't reach conclusions about whether there's been collusion until we have complete evidence. and we don't have that so far. and the guy who really has it is going to have it in the send mueller. back in the background here, what warner is saying is, mueller has many more pieces of this puzzle in his possession already than the senate intelligence committee has. and therefore, we should wait and you can leave it -- you know, by implication, he's agreeing with burr that he has .se. .seen anything so far, but he's not saying that. >> plenty of convictions are based solely on circumstantial evidence, and there obviously have been already a number of people charged with crimes. >> absolutely. you can have an indictment, you can have a conviction based on circumstantial evidence. you don't have to have the smoking gun of the admission o

richa richard burr says respectfully i disagree.r of key witnesses to come back. the split between the two senators is significant because it is rare frankly, their committee operated smoothly without the partisan division. congressman jim hans, i spoke to him before. >> given the intelligence committee in the senate unloo i can -- unlike the house has worked well together in a bipartisan way. >> there are still witnesses to be called on either side and the word collusion which is the word that senator burr split. gout three investigations out there, the house senate and the mueller investigation, it is best that we wait and see what they actually say in their final versions before we get too excited of any potential outcome. that of course anderson points to the need of mueller investigation to actually be reported to the american people so that we'll get finality which ever way the truth points us. >> none of the facts are in dispute, only what those facts mean. it could come down to -- one set of facts but two different conclusio

we believe senator burr would appreciate that it is possible for mr.gn at a restaurant. >> senate majority leader mitch mcconnell planning to force democrats to take a public stand on a sweeping climate change and economic overis haul. the republican leader announcing he's going to set a floor vote on the so-called green new deal co-authored by house member alexandria ocasio-cortez and senator ed markey. >> it will give everybody an opportunity to go on record and see how they feel about the green new deal. >> green tie and a sly smile. republicans aim to make the green new deal a ski 2020 campaign issue. they're going to paint it as a costly unworkable socialism. a takeover of basically the economy. the proposal calls for a shift away from fossil fuels. complete shift away from fossil fuels and throws in a variety of soushl initiative pps. >>> most democrats who are running or thinking of running support the initiative to various degrees. senator amy klobuchar who just chaired said she will co-sponsor the green new deal. >> i'm in favor of it simply b

and when you look back at the writings and statements of senator warner and senator burr.most conclusive information on collusion was that paul manafort had given some polling information to someone with a russian connection. and he said that that was, you know, the biggest example that he had seen of collusion and senator burr said that he thought that that statement was, i believe he said it was, you know, a stretch. that that was a stretch. i mean, given that, your thoughts? >> well, let's be real clear about what adam schiff said. he said he had evidence of collusion. he said it was more than circumstantial evidence but not direct evidence. at every law school in america, they only teach two kinds of evidence, direct or circumstantial. so, again, there isn't a committee in the united states congress, house or senate, that has found evidence of collusion, which means that really all of the democrats have put all of their eggs in the bob mueller basket. and if special counsel doesn't find any evidence of russian collusion with the trump campaign, and all of those prayer

there may be, in the words of senator burr, chairman burr, no direct evidence of collusion between presidentourse of the campaign with some kind of criminal intent to collude. what we've already seen through the course of the congressional investigation and mueller investigation about collusion and russian interference with gates and paul manafort and top officials on the campaign. what mueller will try to answer, what was the president's knowledge and what was his intent in terms of any interactions. >> jonathan swan, have you heard any reporting from the hill and your investigations about possible perjury charges against don junior and others involving the meeting. you talk about setting up a perjury trap, if i want to set up a perjury trap, i would have republicans being in charge of the investigating committees and put somebody, a complete dupe, like devin nunes in charge of the intel community, so if i were don junior i would feel i could say whatever i was going do say and not be held accountable. >> everything he said before nunes and the intel committee and congress, has been sent to

richard burr said the session could last more than ten -- did you hear me? ten hours.topics will be off-limits. chairman burr said that cohen should expect to get any question from anywhere about any thing. this isn't cohen's first rodeo. he testified before and pleaded guilty to lying to them, about abandoning a trump business proposal in moscow. that's not all. cohen pleaded guilty for his involvement in payments to two women who claim they had sexual affairs with president trump before he became president. cohen is set to begin a three-year prison sentence in may. we could see the fireworks tomorrow, because that's where cohen will testify publicly in front of the white house overnight committee. cohen will describe behind the scenes personal observation anecdotes when he worked for president trump for ten years. that includes allegations of lies, racism and cheating as a private business man. he will provide evidence of criminal conduct by mr. trump, and this is the important part, since he became president. but the scope of tomorrow's hearing will not include russ

and senator burr did not vote. the house will take it up next 9:00a possible vote around p.m. until then, a look at remarks by house speaker nancy pelosi from her weekly briefing at the capitol this after toon. this is about 15 minutes. ms. pelosi: good morning. i served with him and his father two different parties. one a democrat and one a republican. both of them southern gentlemen, patriotic americans, both of joneses. and certainly walter jones and ohn dingell. today is also a day of sadness because it marks the one-year anniversary of the parkland tragedy. of gun violence. one year ago, america's heart was broken by the horrific act of violence in parkland, florida. today we remember the 17 lives that were stolen from us then. i'm very pleased that last night, the house judiciary committee under the leadership of jerry nadler, and with the full participation of our members, took a strong step to end the epidemic of gun violence and they advanced h.r. 8, the bipartisan, commonsense background check legislation. our committees are hard at work, i'm very proud of our freshm

you know, burr is right.the other. >> and there was a moment where president trump last night in his rally sited something that burr had said. take a listen. here is something president trump said last night. >> they interviewed over 200 people. they studied hundreds of thousands of documents and pages and richard just announced they found no collusion between donald trump and russia. >> he weighed in on that quote from the president as well this afternoon. here is what burr had to say. >> just saying what factually we found to date. we haven't finished with our investigation. >> so he is saying they haven't found any evidence of a conspiracy yet. the investigation is not done but they haven't found anything yet. >> i'm more curious to see what robert mueller has found since he has done a serious and thorough investigation with the grand jury and so father. it is harder to lie to mueller than with congress. and i believe we will know it. i think he is still being loyal to the president and trying to lay some

we believe senator burr should appreciate that.o have pain and be in a restaurant with his wife. cohen is expected to report to prison march 6th. >>> according to associated press, house judiciary chairman jerry nadler has brought on two veteran attorneys and trump critics as they prepare to review the special counsel's report the new hires signal while democrats have been cautious on whether they may eventually choose to try to remove the president from office, they are moving forward aggressively with oversight as they await mueller to finish his own investigation. democrats in the house and senate have been discussing ways to bolster their legal teams in anticipation of a battle over the report. one person familiar with that battle say several democrats who met with william barr told him if he didn't make a comprehensive report available to congress, their house colleagues would consider subpoenaing mueller's investigations. >>> president trump is clashing with an independent agency over plans to close an aging coal plant. the t

burr should appreciate that it's possible for mr. cohen to be in pain and still have dinner in a restaurant. well, that photo that you're talking about, that photo of mr. cohen greeting friends and dining at the upscale restaurant is not helping his cause with the senate intel chairman. >>> senate majority leader mitch mcconnell is planning to force democrats to take a stand on sweepi sweeping climate change on economic overhaul. saying he will propose a bill co-authored by representative alexandria ocasio-cortez and senator ed markey. >> it will give everybody an opportunity to go on record and see how they feel about the green new deal. >> smirk, smirk. republicans aim to make the green new deal a key 2020 campaign issue, painting it as costly, unworkable socialism. the proposal calls for a complete shift away from fossil fuels and throws in a variety of social justice initiatives. most democrats in the senate who are running or thinking of running for president support the initiatives to varying degrees. senator amy klobuchar who

and the gop-controlled russia investigation in the senate, led by north carolina senator richard burr this week they didn't find any ee of russian collusion, despite not looking at most of the actual evidence. and trump has been touting that fact in rallies and tv interviews all week. >> they've been investigating this russia hoax for two years. they found no collusion between donald trump and russia. [ cheers ] what's happened to me should never be allowed to happen to another president. with investigations on things that never took place like russia. you know, the russia collusion delusion we call it. >> seth: oh, wow, trump found two words that rhyme. [ laughter ] if he gets kicked out of office, at least he'll have a second career in advertising. ♪ [ laughter ] and trump wasn't just whining ss about the investigation to friendly crowds at rallies and at fox news. he's also been screaming about it all week on twitter. these are all different tweets he posted in the last week. >> highly respected senator richard burr, chairman of senate intelligence, said today that af r an almost t

senator bu burr and warner from virginia are clear, there no collusion. >> warner still has a few ironsn the fire, he thinks there have been some misdeeds if not odd relationships in meetings. i know several democrats are up in arms about campaign willing to accept help from a for forein adversary, it may be a tired old theme, but was that the point of the clinton foundation? and the reason for being accept help. >> of course it was. llet's remember in 2016, president president obama, comey, clapper, brenon, they were responsible for election integrity, donald trump had no control as a private i citizen o control the out cam more than you or i did. obama should have stopped it from happening if there was something. in 2018, we didn't hear anything about that taking place. and 2020, if it happens again that donald trump's trump. but in 2016, if someone was interfering with the election, why done barack obama or clapper or brennan do something in their power to stop it. kennedy: they knew something was happening. comey, has sinciskism -- sincism implied they knew a great deal. i agree wit

people heard what richard burr said and took it as a kind of blanket exoneration.u are talking about a smoking gun, no. rarely in any legal matter is there a smoking gun. >> quickly, you announced you are not running for president of the united states. we were not expecting you to make an announcement. your independent senator colleague bernie sanders of vermont announced about two hours ago that he is running for president. what do you think of that? >> well, i think the more voices, the better. one of the things you have to observe, and i sit next to two presidential candidates. i sit near kamala harris and elizabeth warren. bernie sits a few seats away from me. i think the important thing is there is a series of very credible candidates, people who have a lot of good thinking. people i have worked with for years. amy klobuchar announced last week. i think the important thing is the american people and the democratic party are going to have real choices. i don't think that's anything but good for democracy. >> senator angus king from maine, thank you very much fo

. >> senator burr also blasted michael cohen who postponed that hearing that was scheduled for today. >> any goodwill that might have existed in the committee with michael cohen is now gone. on twitter a reporter reported he was having a wild night saturday night eating out in new york with five buddies. didn't seem to have any physical limitations. i would prefer to get him before he goes to prison, but, you know, the way he's positioning himself not coming to the committee, we may help him go to prison. >> cohen, who is supposed to report to prison in early march has cited medical issues for the reason for his postponement. late today his lawyer insisted his client was, indeed, recovering from shoulder surgery and that he was committed to testifying before the end of the month. as the congressional and mueller inquiries move forward, there are mounting questions about how the special counsel's findings will be made public, if at all. this continues to be a debate. today john dowd at one time trump's lead lawyer for that investigation made a rather surprising prediction. >> i don't t

we believe senator burr should appreciate it's possible for mr. cohen to be in pain and still have dinner a restaurant. democratic congressman andre carson of indiana is a member of the house intelligence committee. a pleasure, welcome. >> what a pleasure, thank you for having me, brooke. >> cohen, third time. not showing up even though he is going to prison next month. how would you characterize his strategy on this. >> i don't know if it's a strategy, i think it speaks more to his character or lack thereof. we're hoping to get him before the house intel committee before he starts his prison term so we can ask him questions that he didn't seem like he was willing to answer the last time we talked to him. we're hoping he'll be more forthright going forward. >> do you feel confident he will? it's hard to say. he's proven himself to be inconsistent so we'll see. >> we saw senator burr. let me fifth to. this i want to focus on senator burr who suggested, chair of senate intel suggesting there is no evidence of trump/russia collusion. is that the view

walk back there a policeman but on the very same day we heard this on the very same channel senator burr coming out and saying there was no direct evidence of that kind of conspiracy that also really struck me because prosecutors almost never had direct but it was to the intelligence committee came out and said they found no direct evidence of criminal conspiracy but that's not the senate intelligence committee is read it it is the f.b.i. in a special counsel's team to do the criminal investigation so he doesn't have any evidence but he somehow just knows it's there. mr trump's claims of no collusion. hold these the claims of a former cia director who previously called doubts on allegations of collusion he's not alone in speaking up and saying that what can't be proven somehow must unquestionably be true but the walls feel like they're closing in on the truth administration right now and i'm not sure they can hold them off for much longer the walls are closing in and everyone is freaking out the walls are closing the wheels are coming off. the walls are closing in on president trump the

good evening, so richard burr has until today a few words when it comes to ongoing investigation intomp, but he waded into the investigatory waters telling "cbs news" that so far the committee has found none doing. tonight president trump gladly taking his no for an answer, tweeting highly respected senator richard burr, chairman of senate intelligence committee said after a two-year investigation he saw no evidence of russian collusion but we don't have anything that would suggest there was collusion by the trump campaign and russia. thank you, but the senate appears ready to wind down, the house is now kicking into high gear. they are promising a whole slew of probes into president trump's campaign, his business, his administration and their biggest bugbear their personal finances. >> i think as a woman, the public wants to see the president's tax returns. and so, they want to know the truth. they want to know the facts. we have important work to do. and we have important judgments to make. and we need information to make those judgments. >> gillian: now senate democrats are stickin

. >> charles: a clear statement from richard burr.ratic counter part has issues of claims of no collusion. catherine herridge with the very late it's. catherine? >> good afternoon. the committee's ranking democrat is not going as far playing to what senator warner describes and suspicious contacts between the trump campaign and russian officials telling reporters when you have a campaign chairman sharing polling data with a campaign agent and as many indictments that have come out of the mueller investigation. when you see the level of contacts between russians and folks within the campaign. and there may be more legal exposure nor the president's former personal attorney, michael cohen as he failed to show for the a senate subpoena citing medical reasons. >> i can assure you, any good will is now good. we may help him go to prison now. >> burr was angered by media reporting that cohen was out and about last weekend as well as monday night. cohen testified before the same committee two years ago as a moscow real estate project in 2016

he had upset richard burr, who had been running this committee. you could see the frustration this morning, take a listen. >> truth. s >> are you sure you can trust mr. cohen? >> has a track record of questionably doing that. >> reporter: you hear richard burr saying cohen's credibility is questionable at best. he'll spend many as much as ten hours with the committee talking about mainly the russian portion of this investigation. don't forget after that public hearing tomorrow, he'll have the house intel committee batting cleanup. they'll get cohen behind closed doors on thursday to tie up any loose ends after what comes out on wednesday, which should be an explosive hearing. >> all right. thank you. cynthia oxney, greg broward, he's a former u.s. attorney. a a big thanks to all of you. for michael cohen, the biggest risk tomorrow that he poses to president trump? >> it's the fact that he is someone who's a long time personal acquaintance of the president. he knows the president in and out. he has financial records of the president. he understands

burr: "the truth.":reporter: "are you sure you can trust mr. cohen?"burr: "he sure has a track record of questionable -- questionable doings." tomorrow the most anticipated testimony is planned when cohen speaks publicly at a house oversight committee hearing.he's expected to divulge intimate, behind the scenes details about donald trump during his more than 10 years working for him - discussing publicly trump's role in some of the crimes cohen pleaded guilty to last year --- including the payments to two women, who alleged having an affair with trump, weeks before the 2016 election.payments cohen claims trump directed him to make. stephanopoulos: "he was trying to hide what you were doing, correct?"cohen: "correct." stephanopoulos: "and he knew it was wrong?"cohen: "of course."cohen may also provide documents to back up his claims, a source tells cnn. house oversight chairman elijah cummings says the committee is cleared to talk to cohen about ten different areas relating to trump -- after working out those topics with special counsel robert mueller's

but burr hasn't been a rabid partisan on this. until the last couple of weeks, he's been working closely with the democrats. why do you think he's wrong? >> it's not just that i think he's wrong. mark warner, the vice chair of the intel committee in the senate also disagrees with that assessment. you can see evidence in plain sight on the issue of collusion pretty compelling evidence. now there's a difference between seeing evidence of collusion and being able to prove a criminal conspiracy beyond a reasonable doubt. but chairman burr must have a different word for it because when you look, for example, at the e-mails to set up the meeting in trump tower, it was offered to the trump campaign to the president's own son dirt on hillary clinton as part of what was described as the russian government's effort to help donald trump in the campaign. and the response from the campaign was, we would love to have the help. now that's an offer of help. that's an acceptance of help. there's an overt act in the trump tower in furtherance of th

purifieding of -- pure finding of collusion because i don't think it's there. >> brennan: senator burr said, "if it were written now, there's no collusion, bats but as you said, your committee is still investigating. >> we would like more access to the mueller investigation before we coming to a final conclusion. his report will help us write our final report. we've given mueller full access to all of our interviews, all of our investigation. we haven't had that reciprocated. so we'll soon find out what else is out there that we might not know about. >> brennan: well, on that report, the house intel chairman, adam schiff, told abc thinks morning that democrats are going to subpoena that mueller report if it is not made public and to expect that the special counsel will be called to testify. should we expect him to testify in front of the senate? can you actually enforce a subpoena to get the justice department to do something they refuse to do in the first place? >> i don't know that you can. you know, the new attorney general, bill barr, was very specific on this when asked during his

you know, they're not talking about richard burr is not talking about the money trail.vinced that's going to be the achilles heel for donald trump is the russian money or the money funneled from russia through deutsche bank to donald trump. there's going to be something related to the fact that the russians were the only ones who would provide donald trump the money he needs for his business empire. >> president trump is reacting with a tweet, "the senate intelligence committee, there is no evidence of collusion between the trump campaign and russia." >> well, listen, accurate ticks of the president including me have always had to be prepared for the possibility that there was no collusion, that there was suspicious activity that, there was improper activity, but the kind of smoking gun sort of watergate style 1 minutes of missing tape that we were expecting wasn't going to happen. that's why it was so important to let the special counsel finish his work. one of the reasons why i think so many of us have been so suspicious is because the president has been clearly fanta

and, you know, center burr basically is mad at michael cohen. they want to get him to testify in these committees before he has to go to jail, which is understandable so that they can try to wrap up at least on the senate intelligence side their investigation. but this is not winning him any favors. and i have a hard time fwlaefg it's muell believing that it's mueller that's trying to stop him or i don't think senator burr would have the ghosn that mad. it's not like the offices can't talk to each other. i think michael cohen needs to be careful because sooner or later everyone's going to subpoena him and they're going to drag him in front and not let him be behind closed doors and some permanent going to try to slap him down in public. >> all right. shawna, dana, frank, thank you very much for being with us this morning. republicans urging president trump to take the deal, sign the deal, prevent the shutdown. will he do that? and then even after doing that declare a national emergency? we're going to ask a republican senator next. ♪ introducing

and it comes days after republican committee chair rich burr told cbs news there was also nothing to suggest collusion between the campaign and russia. joining us now, ken dilanian, chuck rosenberg, and matt miller. ken, you yourself have put in a lot of caveats in your reporting. tell me your bottom line here, because it's clear that the senate intelligence committee has not seen the evidence that robert mueller has, has not had access to all the witnesses, and we already know from plea agreements that several of those witnesses lied under oath. >> that's right, andrea, that's all-important to point out. our bottom line for this story is that after two years, 200 interviews, 300,000 documents, the senate intelligence committee, both republicans and democrats, are telling us that they do not have direct evidence proving a conspiracy between the trump campaign and russia which is after all the main question they set out to answer in their investigation. they're not saying they're completely finished but they're on the road to being done. and after they interview their last witness, it

warner and burr, they're argue about facts not available to us.d the interview and evidence show? i haven't seen that evidence. no one in the public has. that's why you know, usual way of the congress does investigations is they hold hearings. subpoena documents. maybe the senate judiciary committee should decide to release that evidence and let us all decide which one of them is telling the truth. i don't mean lying. just in terms of who was accurately characterizing. >> this is a tense moment right now in u.s. history. >> part of the issue is that we don't have what we think of as like the 9/11 commission to air all of this out so the public really wants and understandably so, a full account of what has gone on with russian interference. not one is seemingly poised to answer that. not mueller, not the senate intelligence committee. we get drips and drabs of information, but there's no one really putting it together for anyone and american people in a digestible way. >> you're right. there was no public -- >> well, really, that's why you were see

richard burr came out and said what devin nunes says a year ago. there is no evidence of collusion.ting that off the table allows washington, official washington to focus on how did we get that narrative? who made that false story. what abuses occurred in the fbi? the tipping points has arrived. the inspector general's report coming in and a new sheriff in town named bill barr. i'm hearing a lot from behind the scenes of that accountability beginning to set up. lou: it would be a wonder to behold and witness. you mentioned the narrative that has been driven. the ranging member of the senate intelligence committee richard burr sitting next to him and that senator mark warner. his role in all of this is complex and deserves great examination. do you agree? >> i agree. back in the summer i had a story where mark warner was secretly communicating with a russian back channel trying to get information back and forth to the fbi director. very weird behavior just like the weird behavior we see with adam schiff not staying away from glenn simpson at aspen. when all these facts comes out and

the president is emerging, we're getting it from senator burr.have no evidence of any kind of any collusion between russia and the trump campaign. we're seeing straight forwardly this president persevere and emerge from what ha has been constant assault from the left. right now clearly. ramrampant corruption at the tof fbi and justice department, your thoughts? >> we're seeing patrick kennedy, was attempting to obstruct justice, when he asked fbi to declassify hillary clinton's e-mails, he was obstructing justice, tampering with eviden evidence. this permiated the state department, they supported hillary, half of still them are still there patrick kennedy was infamous, if you crossed hillary or him, your career of demolished, he did that to my client. in the benghazi -- greg complained about susan rice lying, they brought him back, put him in a broom closet. lindsey graham said, if you don't sign those paper, i'm never doing another thing for you again, a miracle occurred. >> we have to move on. good news is that there was intervention. kudos to

burr: "the truth.":reporter: "are you sure you can trust mr. cohen?"e suree most testimony is planned when cohen speaks publicly at a house oversight committee hearing.he's expected to divulge intimate, behind the scenes details about donald trump during his more than 10 years working for him - discussing publicly trump's role in some of the crimes cohen pleaded guilty to last year --- including the payments to two women, who alleged having an affair with trump, weeks before the 2016 election.payments cohen claims trump directed him to make. stephanopoulos: "he was trying to hide what you were doing, correct?"cohen: "correct." stephanopoulos: "and he knew it was wrong?"cohen: "of course."cohen may also provide documents to back up his claims, a source tells cnn. house oversight chairman elijah cummings says the committee is cleared to talk to cohen about ten different areas relating to trump -- after working out those topics with special counsel robert mueller's office and federal investigators in new york. (vicki) but despite the white house's dismiss

. >> reporter: senator richard burr, a man of few words when it comes to ongoing investigations intoump but he waited into investigatory waters today telling cbs news that so far his committee found nothing doing, donald trump is gladly taking no for an answer tweeting i respected senator richard burr, chairman of senate intelligence said today that after an almost two year investigation is no evidence of russia collusion, quote, we don't have anything that would suggest collusion by the trump campaign and russia, thank you but the senate appears ready to wind down the house is kicking into high gear promising a slew of probes into donald trump's campaign, his business, his administration and personal finances. >> the public wants to see the president's tax returns and so they want to know the truth, they want to know the facts. we have important work to do and important judgments to make and we need information to make those judgments. >> senate democrats are sticking by the home team and saying the president is out of line. >> to think the president of the united states is calling
