roger stone. that's going to come in late july. the significance of this, chris, is house investigators are now digging down into one of the more mysterious avenues of russian interference in the 2016 election. they are now looking into the question whether that long-time ally of president trump, roger stone, somehow had fore knowledge that damaging information was going to come out about the hillary clinton campaign including the e-mails of clinton campaign chairman john podesta who also appeared in closed session before the committee just yesterday. roger stone, of course, denies that he had any fore knowledge. he did issue a statement which, among other things, referred to podesta's testimony which las not been made public. that statement says, i'm confident that podesta most likely repeated his lie that i knew in advance about the hacking of his e-mail, and i am anxious to rebut this falsehood. i'm still unhappy that my testimony will not be in public, but believe it's more important to resolve the question of russian collusion with the trump campaign which i

rogers' deputies. i'm very intrigued to figure out what they are going to talk about. and, chris, what makes this very interesting is we reported yesterday that the thing that is driving the president most crazy, the reason why he would even consider trying to get rosenstein to get rid of mueller, is he wanted an exoneration personally in this matter. and what "the washington post" story does is precisely the opposite. >> let me go to devlin barrett who broke this story for the post. tell us how it all fits together, trump's fear of a relationship perhaps. i'm trying to see it from trump's point of view. some concern that there's a relationship, an axis of evil as far as he's concerned between comey and mueller. and, in fact, trump's dislike for having anybody coming at him, and this is a case where they're going at him on a matter that could be impeachable. >> right. so what we're reporting is that there is a serious look, a serious investigation into trump's conduct about possible attempted obstruction of justice. and, look, a lot of the factual stuff is out there. you know, co

rogers, in addition to comey testifying in a public forum this week. what are the chances we get closer to the bottom of this? >> well, first, chrisyou heard there was classic putin. very similar to what he says in most cases. what i've observed in my interactions with the russians over the years is that when they do something that you don't like, and you protest, they push back and accuse you of escalating, then call for discussions to trynd consolidate their gains. so pushback and denial is the classic strategy they follow in this case. as far as the hearing, you know, here's what is going to happen, i think. comey will be asked at least two things, did the president demand his loyalty, and did comey himself understand that the president was actually asking him to stop the investigation? a lot of it will depend on what comey says about the tone of that conversation, whether he says it was a casual remark or whether he said no, i was clearly told to stop the investigation. he'll also be asked whether, as he claimed, or as trump claimed rather, that comey had told him on at least three occasions that he's not under investigation.
