review of how the fbi handled the clinton e-mail investigation, but just last month, this was clintonking about what she sees as the impact of fbi director james comey's letter in the final days of the election. >> take it from nate silver whose pointed o ut that swing state voters made their decisions in the final days breaking against me because of the fbi letter from director comey. and nate silver believes, i happen to believe this, that that letter most likely made the difference in the outcome. >> did james comey cost hillary clinton the election? that's what she believes. we'll dissect it in our most important number of the day, next. i thought i married an italian. my lineage was the vecchios and zuccolis. through ancestry, through dna i found out that i was only 16% italian. he was 34% eastern european. so i went onto ancestry, soon learned that one of our ancestors we thought was italian was eastern european. this is my ancestor who i didn't know about. he looks a little bit like me, yes. ancestry has many paths to discovering your story. get started for free at ancestry.com

hillary clinton loses by 77,000 votes. three days out comey comes out again and announces by the way there is really nothing on that laptop. why send the letter in the first place? comey's actions were unpreced t unprecedented. unusual what he did. >> we heard from jim comey from the fbi. we heard from him a knew days ago. this is part of his exchange with maine's senator angus king. let's take a listen. >> you didn't say one way or the other whether each there is an investigation underway. >> correct. i don't -- especially in a public forum we never confirm or deny a pending investigation. i'm not saying -- >> the irony of your making that statement here i cannot avoid. >> angus king's words will live in infamiliary because that's what a lot of people were tig at that moment when jim comey said that. >> it is curious, to say the least, e.j. >> it's all very kooer curious. i think it is a great thing that this is happening i think it is a great thing that inspectors general have this freedom to investigate. it's going to b

and he, like many clinton officials have in the wake of this, blamed jim comey for hillary clinton's loss here. that's really the context in which everyone who worked for secretary clinton. it seems from what we've learned in the wake of the election, the clintons themselves view this. hillary clinton herself blamed her loss on jim comey at a party with donors in mid-december she held for people who supported her. bill clinton, her husband, was quoted in a bookstore as saying that jim comey cost his wife this election. so, that's the lens that they are looking at this through. we still have not yet heard word -- we have inquire ris out to her current spokesperson, nick merrill, who is still working for secretary clinton. brian fallon now off the payroll. he was working for the campaign. nick merrill has been a close, personal aide for quite some time. but i think that this is something that they, frankly, are going to focus quite a bit on but the reality at this point, they think, too little, too late. >> kasie, pete williams, thank you for joining me. i should note that the house ov

trump may have said some bad words, but bill clinton raped me and hillary clinton threatened me.on't think there's any comparison. >> it was to show america that he believed certain things about the clintons that many americans also believe. that he was going to stand up for them against the clintons in a way that was so tough and really so ruthless that it gave some satisfaction to people who hate the clintons. >> okay. thank you all very much. we appreciate it. >> by bringing the accusers to the debate, he put that issue front and center and forced voters out there to remember, in a sense, what it is that they didn't like about hillary clinton. (applause) >> narrator: this time on the debate stage, trump stayed on the offense. >> we have a divided nation, because people like her. and believe me, she has tremendous hate in her heart. she's got tremendous hatred and this country cannot take another four years of barack obama and that's what you're getting with her. >> i don't think there was any moment in the campaign in which there was a more divergent interpretation among polit

we'll speak with clinton's former campaign manager. we'll also get more on the breaking news with republican senator tom cotton. he's here with me. and our correspondents analysts and guests, they will have full coverage of today's top stories. let's begin with the breaking news. vice-president joe biden confirming publicly he and president obama were briefed on the intelligence community's unsubstantiated claims against the president-elect. our justice correspondent evan perez has been following the story for us. evan, update our viewers. what are you learning? >> wfl, wolf, vice-president joe biden is confirming that he and president barack obama were briefed last week by in tell jensen officials about unverified claims russia may have information on donald trump. cnn first reported the napgs's top intelligence chiefs provided both the president and the president-elect with a two-page written synopsis of these claims which came from a 35-page report that was compiled by a former british intelligence operative based on russian sources

host: hillary clinton back in december.ere is a tweet from carol, "we need an independent ag one trump becomes president." we have june on the line from wisconsin, clinton supporter. what do you make of this news out of these justice department, june? caller: well, i think it is comey cameas soon as out with this connection to hillary and anthony weiner, i that somebodyly on in the republican side -- he is a republican, after all -- put pressure on him because the trump campaign was just blowing up, it was a horrible, the things we were finding out. and hillary was on her way up. and the second heat with that craziness out there trying to connect hillary to anthony weiner -- although, ok, there was really nothing there. listen, it was so clear that this man was under fire from it is justk, and really sad, and i am you, this thing is much deeper than anyone wants to realize. yeah, are to russia, you kidding me? and russia jumped in on c-span live yesterday during the congress or whatever, a russian program going on for 10 mi

a key part of clinton world. meanwhile, hallie jackson is at trump tower. obviously, everybody is waiting to see how the president-elect responds to this. do we have any indication yet? >> not yet. we have been in the lobby for the better part of the afternoon and seen some of donald trump's top aides going into the elevator. we have tried to press them on this topic even as to whether there will be some kind of a statement about this i.g. investigation. nothing yet. the president-elect is somebody who is tuned into the news. he is active on twitter and unafraid to share his opinions there, so i wouldn't be surprised if we see something perhaps later tonight, perhaps tomorrow morning about this, just given what a factor it was on the campaign trail for president-elect trump. he talked about, as you know, james comey after the news broke on october 28th. he was at a rally. he said it took a lot of guts for comey to do what he did. we are sort of waiting now, after hearing from not just robby mook who you just inte

comey actually investigating clinton.s involved in so many of the prior investigation, almost all of them, so we've got political motivations on both sides. but the question is going to come down to whether or not he violated the hatch act. well, they've got to be able to prove that if two violated that he actually had the intent to influence the investigation, or the election. so the question is not whether or not he influenced the investigation, whether or not he did wrong, but whether or not he actually intended to use his power and use his position in order to influence the investigation, and i just don't think they will be able to prove that. >> gregg: the investigation of comey by the ig is getting all the attention, but there are a couple of other things that republicans wanted that the ig is apparently going to do, he is going to investigate the wife of comey's second-in-command, who took campaign money from a friend, ally, going to investigate whether one of loretta lynch's aids was a mole leaking information to

involving the clinton foundation if there are any? >> yes. >> let me follow up again. because it is important. when you say you will recuse, you mean that you'll actually recuse and the decision will therefore fall to, i assume, a deputy attorney general? i ask because after attorney general lynch met with president clinton in phoenix, she said she would "defer" to the fbi, but she never officially recused. >> no, she did not officially recu recuse, and there is a procedure for that which i would follow. and i believe that would be the best approach for the country because we can never have a political dispute turn into a criminal dispute. that's not in any way that would suggest anything other than absolute objectivity. this country does not punish its political enemies. but this country ensures that no one is above the law. >> there is some of the testimony earlier today. we're going to be hearing from senator sessions all throughout the day. plans are to have as many senators who have questions for the nominee for attorney general

. >> you're a hillary clinton guy?> i like hillary but things might change when it comes to election. who knows. >> you going to trump? >> who knows. it's a blue state. >> maybe not this year. >> i agree with you. >> how come? >> he says i'm going to do this, that and bring jobs. >> how long you work in the mill? >> 1950 to 2003. >> 2003? >> what was going on in twou200? >> they shut the mill down and figure it's time for me to retire. >> how has it changed over the course of your lives here? >> it was a booming town. now when the mills shut done, it's nothing. >> when you look at pennsylvania, where you guys are, reliably democratic? >> this last election. this is a democratic county but then people voted republicans into office. >> when it comes to hillary clinton and bernie sanders or donald trump, who would be more effective at bringing jobs back? >> i think trump. >> how many people feel the way you do here? >> i think quite a few. >> when you were working in the steel mill, can you ever imagine saying you might v

there you can see bill clinton and hillary clinton.h his father and his mother are both in hospital. george h bush sent a nice note. he said his doctor said if he sat outside, he would be six speed under. his sense of humour still in evidence there! a true gent. and george bush himself who went through this recess in 2001 after a very contested election. he too lost the popular vote but by much less than donald trump has lost the popular vote, and his wife laura. they have had eight years out of the public eye by and large, and i've actually had a very good relationship with the obama is. george bush has had a very good relationship with ill clinton working on things like haiti and international aid efforts.” clinton working on things like haiti and international aid efforts. i was there on the last day, eight years ago, and when you go through this, it is so emotional from the sense of the president is going through a lot of emotions and he will fly out on a helicopter to andrews air force base and the staff is there to wish the presi

and hillary clinton is a good bater.nd the beauty about debates is that it could have allowed the democrats to put forth the vision for the american country. and because we hid them, because the democrats were afraid of, you know, not, you know, of how hillary clinton may be or of the stamina, whatever the excuse was, it hurt us. meanwhile, the republicans had a dozen debates and they were out there, on primetime. >> a dozen debates with 17 candidates. >> but the thing is, and but also what it did though was it allowed trump a platform, it gave him -- people saw him really for the first time. and call him a politician, don't call him a politician, he became a politician five years ago when he went after president obama. >> and donald trump, having center stage, in that very first debate, based on polls, and dividing into two groups of republican candidates and an undercard which no one paid attention to. carly fiorina managed to get out of -- >> we have a lot to that. what could hillary clinton have done differently? >>

then he sent another letter clearing clinton and closing the probe. >> correct. especially in a public forum. >> reporter: at a senate hearing tuesday comey declined to discuss any potential investigations into president-elect donald trump or his associates prompting this response from maine senator angus king. >> the irony of your making that statement here, i cannot avoid. >> comey says that he will cooperate with the investigation. in a closed door meeting on capitol hill on thursday, he was grilled by some democratic senators who blamed the fbi director in part for secretary clinton's laws. jeff pegues, cbs news, washington. >>> well, it was james comey who spoke to mr. trump last week about a 35-page report containing unconfirmed allegations that russia had compromising information on the president-elect. during his confirmation hearing yesterday mr. trump's choice to head the cia mike pompeo told senators that russian meddling in the u.s. election was an aggressive action taken by senior russian leaders. retired general james mattis called russia a main thr

clinton. there are the cheneys from wyoming arriving, on and on and on. mack, you're going to have new neighbors presuming you're still in the same neighborhood in washington, you're going to have a former president move into the kalorama section of d.c. >> it's already started, unsettling some of the neighbors there. as you well know, it is unusual, highly unusual in modern times for a former president to remain in washington. of course obviously president obama and michelle are a young couple, they still got a lot of years, productive years ahead of them and they're staying in washington because of their younger daughter graduating from high school. but that's going to be different. and i think ivanka trump and jared kushner are also moving into that same neighborhood so there will be lots of activity. >> we're watching all kind of folks coming in. is that -- met by all kinds of people in the hallways. congress loves committees so they love honorary committees and honorary -- >> there's also

and madam secretary hillary clinton. my relationship began in 1992 when i went down to work on the transition committee for the president -- incoming president, william jefferson clinton and vice president al gore. 199 2. it was just like yesterday. i was leaving new york because i was going to go out an see the , i worked in ld the transition and the president was gracious enough to offer me a position at housing an urban development. i was a 100% new yorker. with the new york style and the new york rhythm and the new york cadence. i started going around the country and the new york style and cadence was slightly out of rhythm with other parts of the "my y and sort of like cousin vinny" and the president took me aside one day and he was explaining to me how, you know, sometimes you want to just slow down, more about hospitality and st chatting with people, not always about function. he said, you know, you should go down to arkansas, which we wanted to get some things done he said, you should go down and visit with these

is this the clintons?e'll see former secretary of state hillary clinton getting out of the car right now with former president bill clinton. madam secretary, how does it feel to be here today? >> how are you feeling, madam secretary? >> oh, boy. >> mr. president, how are you feeling? >> so of course we see them walking into the capitol there, not answering our question how it feels to be here today. certainly, anderson, you can imagine the emotion going through hillary clinton's mind. she in fact wanted to be here today but in a very different sick. but again, as we've been talking about all morning, this is a moment of history, of peaceful transfer of power. she is coming here for that reason. an aide of hers last night told me it is difficult for her but she knows she has to be here and she wants president trump to do well for this country. but we cannot overstate how challenging this is for her here today. >> we're seeing former vice president dick cheney, his wife lynn cheney, as they come in. you were

[applause] clinton: americans deserve better. and in this city today, there are people who want to do better. and so, i say to all of you here, let us resolve to reform our politics, so that power and privilege no longer shout down the voice of the people. let us put aside personal advantage so that we can feel the pain and see the promise of america. let us resolve to make our government a place for what franklin roosevelt called "bold, persistent experimentation," a government for our tomorrows, not our yesterdays. let us give this capital back to the people to whom it belongs. [applause] pres. clinton: to renew america, we must meet challenges abroad as well as at home. there is no longer a clear division today between what is foreign and what is domestic. the world economy, the world environment, the world aids crisis, the world arms race -- they affect us all. today, as an old order passes, the new world is more free but less stable. communism's collapse has called forth old animosities and new dangers. clearly america must

also same cover, yet another scoop, hillary clinton is hooked on drugs, hillary clinton is hooked on narcotics. also same cover, yet another scoop, hillary clinton blackmailed the fbi. in a back room deal to avoid prosecution. that's a lot of news to break on one $1.95 cover. if you notice, though, the red banner at the top, this scoop-filled cover, that issue of the "national enquirer," wait, there's more. that was only one part of a two-part "national enquirer" exclusive scoop about hillary clinton having a secret hit man. see? part two of clinton hit man's explosive tell-all. part one of hillary hitman tells all was the previous week, that was the explosive story that will change the election. that was about her top-secret file of 24 years worth of coverups and crimes. the "enquirer" got their hands on that file, they got the hitman to reveal the smoking gun proof that hillary clinton bribes reporters, that hillary clinton had her hitman pay hush money to hookers. hoo boy. leading up to the election it was something else. we're used to the "national enquirer" being celebrity divor

and what they might have shared with the hillary clinton. and then which pamela brown described they leave an open door saying we can look at other things the fbi's guidance to my colleagues who cover the fbi is this includes trump campaigns with paul manafort. that's a lot of stuff. to continue with unanswered questions. >> gloria, what about james comey looking ahead, how does this affect him? will he have to recuse himself as he's under investigation by the i.g.? how does that work? >> well, what's even more interesting about this development today is that jeff sessions yesterday at his confirmation hearing -- was that yesterday? >> i believe it was yesterday. [ laughter ] >> said he would have to recuse himself if he's confirmed as attorney general, that he would have to recuse himself if it had anything to do about hillary clinton's e-mails because he spoke very politically about that and that he thought a lot about this and that he felt he ought to recuse himself, so if you have an attorney general that can't do anything about it you m

and they were not excited about hillary clinton either. have to get back, if the democrats are going to prevail, to being a party of work-a-day americans of all races. so i would try to explain to my foreign friends -- i've had this conversation with foreign friends -- that there is a very short-term reason for why hillary blew the election. there's the fact that the election was fiddled with. and then there's this longer-term harm that has been done to ordinary working people that the centrist clinton wing of the democratic party was just not in touch with that trump had this uncanny ability to connect with. >> how are you personally going to sustain your hope over the next four years? >> you know, it's interesting. i'm glad you asked the question. like every progressive in this country, i went through a period of being shellshocked. i think the democratic party went through a period of being shellshocked. for the past couple of weeks, i have been in a mood to fight. first of all, it's better to fight than just be dazed and confused. and

why was denigrating hillary clinton, hurting hillary clinton, hurting her electability, hurting her potential presidency, why was that the prime mover for vladimir putin? well, in the overt official assessment of the fbi, the cia, and the national security agency, we've got it explicitly. "putin most likely wanted to discredit secretary clinton because he has blamed her since 2011 for inciting mass protests against his regime in late 2011 and early 2012. he holds a grudge for comments he almost certainly saw as disparaging him." it was that election, that election in 2011 where russia's -- where putin's party apparently rigged it and had to in order to hold on to power by the skin of their teeth which led to mass protests in the street which led to this huge show of popular support against putin, risking his chances to regain the presidency after almost 12 years of being in power when he was not used to being challenged, it was that election. and hillary clinton playing this role for the u.s. government of calling it straight saying, yeah, it looks like that election was rigged. that's what l

it's a very good thing that former secretary of state clinton, former president clinton are coming. they've had to do this before, of course. secretary clinton had been defeated by president obama when she and her husband showed up for president obama's inauguration in 2009. w was there and when his father was defeated by bill clinton. there are a few pageants in american life and it's one much those is the inauguration, another is the opening of the presidential library and the final is a presidential funeral. and their general rule of thumb is, if you can come, you go to those things because we have a message for the world at these occasionings which is america keeps going one republic, the peaceful transition of power, it's the best cliche we've got. it is a cliche, but my hat is off to the clintons for doing what's probably a very personally difficult day for them, but they've done it before, as have the bushes, and i think donald trump would be well advised, and steven miller, his speech writer, to make recognition of that and to thank the former secretary of state and the form

the clinton people say james comey hurt clinton all the way back from july. and he's never been held to account. we've never learned why the justice department didn't step in and rein him n the justice department has a long-standing practice of not taking overt actions that would include or even seem to include an election. back in july, director comey, remember, had this extraordinary press conference as you mentioned, that said he found no criminal wrongdoing on clinton's part but that she acted recklessly. now, the democrats think that broke protocol. it's not common for the justice department to hold a press conference in a case where no criminal charges are going to be brought. yet comey put a lot of information and criticism out there. then, again, just 11 days before the election, he sent a letter to congress saying this investigation that everyone thought was dor manlt is being ryan mated. >> shepard: thank you. breaking news back to the senate floor, the vote is not finished, but as katherine her ridge mentioned -- jennifer mentioned, they need 60 vo

two days before hillary clinton testified. now we have a inspector general review of department of justice and fbi handling of hillary clinton e-mail case. should jim comey resign? >> well, i don't think -- i am not in a position to say that. i think that the fact that there will be an independent investigation is something that we should welcome. the inspector general of department is a good 57. personi expects the investigation to include judg judgement about and awareness of meeting between tarmac av the attorney general, and whether attorney general recused herself, that is very vagu.liberty should be defined y we act. if she did recuse herself and transfer the responsibility to director comey that problematic, i would expect that to be addressed. because it moved the decision makes responsibility out of the area of the prosecute discretion do an arena that is just investigative. even if you appoint a special prosecutor, normally a person who recuses himself should not be the person to select that individual that acts as s

all of the data showed hillary clinton winning. and now, if we didn't have any of that, if we were back in the times of alexander hamilton over there and just had our shoe leg leather reporting two story wes did, oh, donald trump is going to win. one was a piece on millenials in north carolina, where we talked to so many young people who were saying, nope, i was a bernie sanders voter, i'm never going to vote for her no way no way no way no way. then in pennsylvania, it was like two or three days after the access hollywood tape came out and we went to do a piece on suburban women and be went to several trump eevents, ivanka trump was through through. these were the kind of woman whoa say, forget it. he is a dog no way. to a person we could not find one woman who said that. they all said, whatever. of course, we know this about donald trump. but his going to x, y and z for the economy, and we can't stand hillary clinton. sorry. so looking back if we would have focused on those kinds of story wes did with real people, we would have s

, bill clinton went after those voters because he knew how to speak them.y were traditional democrats. he won a lot of southern states because that was back at the time when southern states were still, you know, because their father and and grandfather were democrats and they were voting too. we saw a shift in the demographics for each party in this election. donald trump took the remaining voters. >> we have five minutes left, a couple more questions. >> thank you very much. there's a lot of number of on -- observers this think among 20 or so presidential candidates, donald trump was the least qualified and prepared in various dimensions, now, i wonder whether you think there's any validity to that appraisal and if so, that puts in doubt the democratic process practice in the united states or if there's anything that can be done about it? >> i will optimistic and say no. donald trump, i'm not certainly one of his spibbers or defenders, he does have some amount of qualification. he's a highly successful person. running organizations at that level do entail

because the clinton foundation is in essence a business. >> well, secretary clinton was not -- numberwas not president of the united states. >> she was secretary of state. >> and they started to make -- the clintons started to make changes that i wish they had made long before in terms of their holdings, but they put -- she put her holdings into -- everybody puts their holdings into a blind trust. when i was secretary of labor, i had to put all of my -- >> the foundation -- >> they're not -- they weren't donald trump holdings but i had to put my holdings into a trust. so i would not make any decisions that affected in any way anything that i had invested in. do you understand how important this is from the standpoint of public integrity and public trust? >> the trump team is saying because their interpretation is the white house is not an agency they don't need to go by the same rules that people in the trump transition, that secretaries have to go through. secretary reich, appreciate your time. jeffrey lord as well. to be continued. just ahead, how donald trump's nominee for cia dire

i also think you had the issue of the clintons in general and i think i believed covering hillary clintonhat you know, she's judge her on her own merits. but i think looking at the clintons together, you've seen this pattern of it's about a line of legality. it's not about a line of propriety and that's always sort of been an issue for them. i thought that you know, as having maybe sort of moved beyond that a little bit maybe that would exchange, but when the e-mails came out, it spoke very much to that same thing. i think that sort of, you know, it had like this shampoo effect for people who had issues with side o her. d i think she would have had a better shot had that not happened. and the other thing was because that was her doing. or the doing of those around her and you know, she took their advice and went along with it. it felt like very much an original sin that kind of kept on giving. kept on spewing throughout the campaign, but looking back, the it was something that hillary clinton did. >> we now have a president-elect. he's going to be, he's building his administration as we s

of course, clinton's campaign chairman. and wikileaks release of stolen documents through wikileaks shows communication through the assistant attorney general and john podesta. that's another part of this investigation by the inspector general. also a couple more allegations to look into that the department and fbi employees were improperly disclosed nonpublic information and allegations that decisions regarding the timing of freedom of information act requests coming out just before the election and on the fbi's twitter account as you may recall regarding the marc rich investigation, the circumstances surrounding that. so these are the allegations listed in this statement from the department of justice's watchdog. and he also goes on to say here, wolf, that as this review goes on, there is a possibility that the inspector general will look into other allegations, perhaps extending over to donald trump's campaign. so it could include matters beyond just what happened surrounding the clinton private e-mail server investigati
