the c.i.a., f.b.i. and state department are investigating a theory that some of these officials were injured by an unseen weapon. who might be targeting americans, and why, are unknown. incidents have been reported in europe, asia, and latin america, but our reporting has found senior national security officials who say they were stricken in washington and on the grounds of the white house. the former officials you are about to meet are revealing their experiences for the first time. they were responsible for helping to manage threats to national security. >> olivia troye: i covered any and all emerging threats, homeland security incidents, domestically, so i covered whether it was from mass shootings to hurricanes, to natural disasters. >> pelley: olivia troye was homeland security and counterterrorism advisor to vice president mike pence. she had served in the pentagon, deployed to iraq, served in the defense intelligence agency and the national counterterrorism center. at the white house, she worked

and the c.i.a. who had essentially framed him for collusion.as yet to bring any charges against the high level officials. he has developed two cases, and against outsiders, and one of them is this sussman case, both of these are merely false statement cases. they're not charging a conspiracy. but mr. durham has used court filings and indictments and so forth, related to these cases to t out large amounts of information that are not directly related to the charges. and this information is imbued with insinuations that there is some kind of vast anti-trump conspiracy. he just hasn't been able to prove it yet or charge it. it all goes back to hillary clinton, is the implication. >> hillary clinton hired people who hacked into trump's home and office computers. >> brangham: despite right-wing media claiming an illegal infiltration of computer servers, remember, durham's filing notes that joffe's firm, neustar, had an arrangement with the government to help maintain and monitor servers. in 2015, after a russian malware attack, and the 2016 russian h

diplomat bill burns, who is now head of the c.i.a. in the biden administration. in his member -- in his memoir, burns quotes a memo he wrote at the u.s. embassy in moscow in 1995, and i quote, hostility to early nato expansion is almost universally felt across the domestic political spectrum here, end quote. over ten years later, in 2008, burns wrote in a memo to secretary of state condoleezza rice, and i quote, ukrainian entry into nato is the brightest of all red lines for the russian elite, not just putin. in more than two and a half years of conversations with key russian players, i have yet to find anyone who views ukraine in nato as anything other than a direct challenge to russian interests, end of quote. so again, these concerns were not just invented yesterday by putin out of thin air. clearly invasion by russia is not an answer. neither is intransigence by nato. it is important to recognize, for example, that finley, one of the most developed and democratic countries in the world, borders russia and has chosen not to be a member of nato. sweden and aust

the united states began to see this buildup in october, sent the c.i.a. director, bill burns, to warn president putin who he only spoke to by phone because putin has been so isolated, largely thanks to covid prevention. and ever since that time, they've just been on a steady path upward until we hit the point this week where the number is somewhere between 150,000 to 190,000 troops. that's more than we had in iraq and afghanistan. and very hard to explain as you heard secretary austin say, except if you're planning to invade. now, it's possible despite the president's warning that putin is using this just for diplomatic leverage, seems increasingly unlikely. it's also possible that he won't do a single massive invasion. and that's been the discussion here today at the opening of the munich security conference which is the largest security conference in europe and an annual event and it happe to be taking place in the middle of the largest security crisis in europe in many decades. yamiche: yeah. and david, you're talking about this sort of steady upward t

cast it in a very different light, in a false light and passed to two intelligence agencies, fbi and c.i.ais information they were not entitled to and provided false information, doctored information and pumped to the fbi to predicate an investigation on an opponent. not only that, they used government contractors, people in the private sector at a university, who were working on a government contract, to analyze the information, that is fraud against the government. >> carley: yeah, the allegation is that the clinton campaign and tech company were spy og a sitting president in the white house. where does this go from here? who will be held accountable? i think everybody watching is wondering will hillary clinton be held accountable? >> well, first, it is clear indication that john durham is still working very hard at this. i think he's been delayed somewhat by trying to get his hands on international evidence, which is electronics, etcetera. it is hard to tell how high this will go. he's in this for not just indict low-level peep fell they are responsible, the idea is to work his way up t

dan hoffman former c.i.a.o you make of it? what is the potential if anything comes from it? why would putin -- let's not forget on day five with 48 hours into this conflict he offered peace talks in minsk. the city was denied them. the talks are underway. why? >> right. vladimir putin may never have served in the military himself. he was a kgb operative and so what comes most natural to him is cloak and dagger espionage and disinformation and prop gand ya. i would say that these negotiations that will occur on the border is subterfuge. he wants to raise the expectations to the extent he can of ordinary ukrainians who are in the fight overmatched against russia's brutal assault on their country. and then only to torpedo those very same high expectations when the negotiations fall through. it's his effort to degrade the will of ukrainians to fight. see trying to do it by raising russia's nuclear forces status to the elevated status. number two on the level of four scale. there is no sign any of that will work. u

the c.i.a. a foreign adversary behind all this. >> it would be a pretty profound line to be crossed if that were the case. if they were ever able to develop concrete evidence that were the case. we do not have evidence to that at this point. >> the national academy of sciences, engineering and medicine the attacks were from pulsed radio frequency energy that includes microwaves. >> dana: a fox news alert. ukraine is mobilizing reserve troops and planning a nationwide state of emergency bracing for further confrontation against russia and they invade eastern ukraine and build up battle positions to the north and south. welcome to "america's newsroom." i'm dana perino. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer. the russian invasion putting biden at the center of another foreign policy crisis with hopes for diplomacy fading by the day. the kremlin authorizing military operations outside of russia which paefshs the way for a wider invasion of ukraine. president biden announcing economic sanctions targeting two russi

. >> dana: two senators raising concerns about the c.i.a.ing the agency has been secretly collecting data on americans for years without congressional approval and want details on that program. the c.i.a. and national security agency are generally barred from investigating americans or u.s. businesses but their data and communications do get caught up in surveillance of foreign communications. more to come on that. >> mayor adams gave us a lot of hope when he came into office. we're asking for choice in the matter. being told to get a shot or be terminated is an ultimatum, not a choice. >> bill: that the message for the mayor eric adams. the deadline is today for thousands of cops and firefighters and government employees who have not received their vaccine. this firefighter could lose his jobs and works in the bronx. thank you for your time today. i don't know what goes down. why haven't you gotten the vaccine? >> well bill let me begin by saying good morning and thank you for providing your platform. that way our message can be heard. i wo

by the way, since when does the c.i.a. get to decide what websites americans read? are there any civil libertarians left in this country, old fashion liberals, anyone? what do they think of this. maybe they don't notice it. in their defense it's hard to notice sometimes with leaders like biden and trudeau. they don't look threatening. not the hollywood version of fascist. look at trudeau. he's absurd. the 1970s hair cut, all those outfits, when he feels like playing dress up. he doesn't look dangerous. he looks ridiculous but maybe trudeau is smarter than he looks. leaders like biden and trudeau avoid the usual tells. they don't use armies to invade other countries, for example. instead they promote color revolutions and control foreign governments from afar. that's exactly what they did in the ukraine which became a far more oppress stiff place once joe biden began running it and he does run the ukraine. make no mistake. that's what they do. this new class of dictator seizes power incrementally through democracy. they never raise their voices. they don't wave their

i'm talking c.i.a. briefings, diplomatic cables, the medical experiments that created rudy giuliani. honestly, some of the stuff i didn't even understand what it meant. like, i found this one document that just says "nuke spain, question mark." >> trevor: oh, we. >> yeah. >> trevor: you must have been frustrated with president trump giving you so much unnecessary work. >> are you kidding? i loved president trump. he made my job more interesting, and he trusted me with our nation's top secrets. unlike certain other presidents just used the toilet to poop or pee. ( whispering ) obama. >> trevor: i don't know why you said it like, that we knew who-- let me ask you, was trump the only one in the white house who was flushing documents? did vice-president pence do it? >> no, no. mike pence never even used the bathroom. he actually doesn't have any holes! now, if you'll excuse me, i have an emergency to deal with. kamala harris has been locked in the bathroom for the past year. >> trevor: oh, wow. is that wher

nothing i can detail. >> no concerns moving the c.i.a. station out of the capital. >> i'm not going to speak about the intelligence processes in ukraine or surrounding area from here. >> obviously the invasion did not happen today, pentagon was eying as a possible day to see some sort of action, invasion. does the white house think that putin could be bluffing? >> about what? >> about his intention to -- >> invade or not invade? >> either way. >> president putin said he doesn't intend to invade. we have also said he's prepared to do that, and has lined up troops at the border to invade. so i don't think we are waiting for president putin's comments to assess what is being prepared around the border. >> do you think that your effort to put all this intelligence out about his, what might happen next might have deterred something that we could have seen in the last 24 hours? >> well, that's, that has been part of our objective overall, jacqui, right, to make it more difficult for the russians, for president putin to lay a predicate for war.

who was running the c.i.a. john brennan. where is he now? msnbc.pper was head of din and he is at cnn and comey has done two books. they've become these big media stars and oneening in common. they go on television to talk about how horrible donald trump was. was their bias by all these top organization in terms of intelligence the trove and out there? watch their commentary and tell me if they were apolitical and running things on the up and up. don't think so. >> harris: many liberal media outlets that relentlessly pushed the russia collusion story have ignored durham's filings. "the new york times" "washington post", nbc and cbs passed completely. doug collins said they are trying to avoid the truth. >> the media is trying to forget this episode ever happen because they were so wrong and bought the line so badly. again, going back whenever anybody would say we would bring it up they kept denying it. this didn't happen. the truth of the matter is every time john durham puts something out it proves those of us in congress and president trump fight

buck sexton is a former c.i.a. agent. great to see you. we're left wondering on this monday morning as we begin a new week after the threat is looming for quite some time how much longer putin will wait if he does intend to invade? >> the probability now sandra is that this will turn into conflict. this will actually go hot as they say. it will be a military situation that we have not seen in a long time in the region, to be sure. i think one of the big questions that remains is that this could be either a blitzkrieg meaning the russians use the positions and go in and eliminate the ukrainian standard military's ability to fight back or will we seeing more along the lines of a dynamic incursion meaning they go in with greater force to say this region and some of the separatist areas of the country and they decide they are going to build up from there. there has been an ongoing conflict of sorts that has died down recently until now in the region in eastern ukraine and there was, of course, the situation of crimea. will it be all at once or

. >> trace: bring in fox news contributor dan hoffman, also a former c.i.a.ation chief who ran russian operations, dan, you are the man on this, you should be advising the biden administration. what's the take here as you watch the build-up along the border with ukraine, is an invasion inevitable, dan. >> i think we are in a bit of fog of war here. i'm not going to discount the possibility that vladimir putin would launch a full scale invasion of ukraine, but the costs of that invasion in terms of spilled blood and treasure, i think putin has to be careful about how prohibittively high those might be. i also think, remember, i was in the k.g.b., director of russia's ruthless f.s.b., the security police. i would not discount the possibility that he is leaking intelligence of some imminent invasion. he's placing a lot of troops on the border, yes, conducting the exercises in belarus, by doing all those things he's dialing up the tension and he's going to use that induce the maximum number of concessions we will grant. the biden administration is already talking

former c.i.a. station chief, spent a lot of time in moscow, fox news contributor daniel hoffman.mer navy seal and congressional candidate, eric. thank you for being back, gentlemen. >> thank you. >> shannon: senator ted cruz, republican out of texas, says this tonight. the u.s. must impose devastating sanctions against putin's interests including immediate and mandatory sanctions permanently putting an end to his nord stream 2 pipeline. daniel, there's been a lot of conversation about sanctions back-and-forth. is it better preemptively or better after the fact? does nord stream 2 get shut down? will germany go along with that? what do you make of this conversation as we are itching closer to an unpredictable situation? >> well, honestly, based on my reading of vladimir putin, sanctions have never really altered his calculus. ukraine is an existential threat to russia, not because of any military threat ukraine might pose but because ukraine is striving to be a western-oriented democracy. nothing scares vladimir putin more than democracy. in 2014, we sanctioned russia. they lost 1

leon panetta was secretary of defense and director of the c.i.a. during the obama administration.also served as white hous chief of staff during and served as a member of congress. and, angela stent was the on the state department's policy planning staff during the clinton administration. her latest book is "putin's world: russia against the west and with the rest." she's now a professor at georgetown university. welcome to both of you, to the "newshour". secretary panetta, to you first, the message that president biden delivered today, how should the american people read that? >> i think it's a very important message to send at this point in time. look, we're at a pivotal time here and a dangerous time with regards to the united states, with regards to the ukraine, with regards to our allies and russia, and what happens here will tell us a lot about the future. and, so, it was important for president biden to send a very tough, clear, concise and honest message to russia that the united states and our allies remain strong, remain unified, and if they decide to invade, that they w

crime and anyone who was aware that this campaign plan was going to be falsely pitched to the f.b.i., c.i.a prosecution for any number of criminal crimes, mail fraud, wire fraud, lying under oath, congressional testimony, false testimony to prosecutors, all of those things. it could go broadly and deeply. i think it does based on intelligence that i have seen and that i discussed with john durham. >> bill: can you say today that more indictments are indeed coming? >> i think they should be. i say that and i've been saying there need to be indictments before there were any. the folks that have been indicted, that does relate to intelligence that i shared with john durham and based on more intelligence that has not yet been declassified. i would expect there to be frankly quite a few more indictments. i think this conspiracy -- i think there was a criminal conspiracy -- is broad and deep and i hope that obviously john durham is moving carefully. but i would expect and anticipate based on the intelligence i've seen there will be quite a few more indictments relating to this. >> bill: okay. 30

and c.i.a. to establish an interference and narrative.tweet klin son said this. for those interested in reality here is a good debunking of their latest nonsense. attaching a link to a "vanity fair" article saying you'll never believe it. hillary clinton did not spy on trump's white house. the former president donald trump had a quick response telling fox news the accusations are quote bigger than watergate and called on the justice department tuesday to declassify and release all documents saying they have the declassification order and should do so especially in light of what just happened and what has just been revealed. now of course we don't know if clinton will be addressing any of this today. we expect her to talk about the mid-terms but we'll be here to see what happens, bill. >> bill: thank you, laura engel here in new york. thank you. >> conservative party members can stand with people who wave swastikas and who wave the confederate flag. we will choose to stand with canada yand who deserve to get to their jobs and get their liv

according to john durham sussman took information to the c.i.a.ied to the f.b.i. >> durham is operating from a premise that the government officials were duped not that they were in on it. >> point of confusion that durham does not clearly answer at least at this point how does joffey and his company get access to the servers at trump tower and trump's apartment building on central park west. a lot of information to digest there. we know that for our viewers but we look forward to finding this out. this will go to trial in a few months and maybe that's where the special counsel will lay all of this out. >> dana: thank you so much. we'll have more on this ahead with ohio congressman mike turner the ranking republican on the house intelligence committee. that's coming right up. >> president biden: russia attacks the united states or allies through cyberattacks against our companies or critical infrastructure we're prepared to respond. >> bill: president biden and white house yesterday afternoon warning of a strong response if russia launches cyberat

i think the goal for intelligence officers at c.i.a.o see the world through the eyes, the twisted eyes of vladimir putin. i see a couple of things here. he successfully fought a war in chechnya and defeated georgia in 2008 and invaded ukraine in 14 and for the first time since the soviet union collapse deployed military overseas and he won wars and he thinks he can defeat ukraine. i agree with general keane now the question for me is whether vladimir putin is overstretched a bit. war hasn't been kind to the russian empire after the first world war or the decision by general secretary brezhnev in the last couple years of his life to launch an invasion of afghanistan. that drove a few nails into the coffin of the soviet union. put-in could be looking at the risk to his own regime if an insurgency develops that sends russian soldiers home in body bags. >> bill: when you think about the sanctions how do you believe putin prepared him and his government and country for that. he knew they were coming. he knows there will be more. what does he

these weapons could become the symbol of the ukraine resistance like the stinger missiles the c.i.a. provided to fight the soviets in afghanistan which eventually brought down so many helicopters at the red army eventually withdrew. more concerns right now for the safety of ukraine's top elected leaders who have said that russian troops will not see the spines of the ukrainian, they will fight the russians face-to-face. new reports suggest a vicious brigade of checkian fighters with target lists of leaders and journalist. appeals from zelensky. >> according to our information they listed me as target one and my family as target two. they want to destroy the country politically terminating the head of state. >> one of the more gruesome revelations in recent days is that the russian army has deployed to the front lines with mobile crematorium to incinerate the war dead. their president is jewish and remember what the nazis did. he does not want young soldiers returning home no coffins. the committee of the mothers in 1989 that pressured the russian government in chechnya. now we hear r

howard hunt, the former c.i.a.one of the burglars cone of the other burglars came out of the cuban immigrant population linked to the bay of pigs and was actively on the cia payroll on the night of the burglary and reported back to his handlers through the whole time he was working on the sort of dirty tricks team that g. gordon liddy and e. howard hunt pulled together. there are weird moments were g. gordon liddy in his role as part of the plumbers working in the nixon white house turns to the cia for help. the cia provides him with a disguise further burglary of a psychiatrist office in the fall of 1971 after the pentagon papers are released. the cia develops film that gordon liddy has taken during one of his takeouts of a psychiatrist office and g. gordon liddy current when he comes up with his grand operation -- g. gordon liddy when he comes up with his grand operation plan for the reelection dirty tricks, the million-dollar operation that involves hiring prostitutes to seduce democratic officials, spy planes,

diplomat bill burns, who is now head of the c.i.a. in the biden administration. in his member -- in his memoir, burns quotes a memo he wrote at the u.s. embassy in moscow in 1995, and i quote, hostility to early nato expansion is almost universally felt across the domestic political spectrum here, end quote. over ten years later, in 2008, burns wrote in a memo to secretary of state condoleezza rice, and i quote, ukrainian entry into nato is the brightest of all red lines for the russian elite, not just putin. in more than two and a half years of conversations with key russian players, i have yet to find anyone who views ukraine in nato as anything other than a direct challenge to russian interests, end of quote. so again, these concerns were not just invented yesterday by putin out of thin air. clearly invasion by russia is not an answer. neither is intransigence by nato. it is important to recognize, for example, that finley, one of the most developed and democratic countries in the world, borders russia and has chosen not to be a member of nato. sweden and aust
