>> cecilia vega with us from inside the briefing room tonight. cecilia, the american people were told before the election that the fbi was investigating russian meddling, legal observers say fbi informants would be fairly standard in that case. but as you report tonight, the president is now saying something very different here, saying there were spies inside his campaign, potentially. is the white house providing any proof tonight? >> reporter: well, david, none yet. and this is not the first time the president has raised this question about spies being in his campaign. he said it now a number of times. it's also not the first time he's peddled an unsubstantiated claim like this. of course, you'll remember, he said everything from president obama was not born in this country to president obama had trump tower wiretapped. david? >> cecilia, stay with us for a moment, as there is a breaking headline late today regarding michael cohen, president trump's former personal lawyer, who was raided by the fbi and is under investigation.

i recently interviewed cecilia for my show and she talked about the meeting and extrapolated on what that was like to meet ivanka and jared in the beginning where there was a moment we thought they would be a moderating influence on this administration. that wasn't born out true. but essentially what she said was kushner was trying to make a deal without understanding the underlying policy and how it would impact women. she felt like she wanted to explain exactly what plannplanne ened parenthood does for women and families, just to be clear, and why the federal funding is necessary and why it shouldn't be taken away. so i think that what cecilia is essentially trying to say is when you remove federal funding and women don't have access to contraception or legal and safe abortion, unsafe abortions happen. women die. that's what's going to happen. there's going to be an increase in the teen pregnancy rate. there's going to be an increase in the pregnancy rate for all women, and now we don't have access to safe and legal abortion services. again, abortion is an ideological debate but it
