crowley, ms. sanchez, other members.will shortly be joined by our colleagues from the senate, the senate democrats, but we share a view with our republican colleagues that what the president did is not constitutional, indeed, in the view of many of us, it is immoral. protect all of us, all of us, take an oath of office to protect and defend the constitution of the united states. what the president has done is not in the interest of security. it is reckless. it is reckless and rash. to protect our constitution and our people, we must be strong and smart. i now have been joined by our distinguished leader of the united states senate, mr. schumer. we share a view of the importance of the words on the statue of liberty, give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. you know the rest. it's a statement of values of our country. it's a recognition -- recognition that the strength of our country is in our diversity, that the revitalization constantly of america comes from our immigrant population.

crowley says she will no longer be taking a senior communications role in donald trump's incomingedrowley was appointed to become the senior director of strategic communications at the national security council. just within the last couple of weeks cnn's k dpil uncovered crowley plagiarismed in her book columns in "new york times" and her ph.d. dissertation for columbia university. in a statement to the washingtontimes, crowley said, quote, after much reflexive decided to remain in new york to pursue other opportunity and will not be taking a position in the incoming administration. i greatly appreciate being asked to be part of president-elect trump's team and i i will continue to enthusiastically support him and his agenda for american renewal. while this trump transition team hasn't responded to comment from cnn at the time of the reporting they stood by crowley wrongly claiming that koz inski's reporting is a politically motivate attack. more on that in a second also, this new report is now raising the possibility that the trump administration could evict the press corps from th

this is about monica crowley, up for a senior communications post.wley has a plagiarism problem, the team found more than 50 examples of plagiarism word for word in a book she wrote in 2012. the trump team is standing by crowley, why stand by a communications official with such a serious communications problem. >> as a journalist and reporter, i have a big problem with plagiarism. you know, that's a big deal. >> stealing someone's art, someone's work, someone's reporting, someone's investigating and putting your name to it, i mean, that's incredibly dishonest. and that then goes to character. and that's something that they should probably review. >> kevin, now, this is another one, politico reports that crowley plagiarized parts of her ph.d. diser dags from colombia. previously, any attempt to discredit monica, is nothing more than a politically motivated attack that seeks to distract from the real issues facing this country. can they continue to defend her? >> i think they will. this is a campaign that fights very hard, and what they see are politic

a side by side of crowley and wikipedia.ector hayden stated of about 100 prisoners, enhanced techniques were used on about 30, waterboarding on three. if you look at wiki 350ed yeah, it says virtually the exact same thing. bill, how big is a problem of this for someone coming in for a kmashl security communications post? >> you could make the argument there's no real responsibility that overlaps like it would in terms of journalism or writing a book. you could say there's a little lack of attention to detail, sloppy ins in maybe the ethics of it. usually in a case like this a person apologizes. what's interesting is the response. this is only politically motivated. when you make a mistake -- when you criticize this administration it's only on the basis of politics. here it is a fundamental of reporting and publishing. the publisher normally steps back and says, we have to correct that, go through the book, give someone credit, et cetera. instead they're saying, no, it's just more political attacks rather than acknowledging t

crowley. mr. crowley: thank you, madam clerk. first i would like to welcome back the gentlelady from washington state, mrs. mcmorris rodgers, and her family. as well as welcome all of our colleagues and their families to this new session of congress. madam clerk, as chair of the house democratic caucus, i have the honor of nominating the gentlelady from california, congresswoman elect nancy pelosi, as our candidate for speaker of the house of representatives. madam clerk, it is well-known on both sides of the aisle and in both chambers that nancy pelosi will never be outworked, outmaneuvered, or outsmarted. under her leadership america has made tremendous advancements. during her tenure as speaker of the house of representatives she successfully oversaw the rescue of the auto industry, saving of a $one million good-paying american anufacturing jobs. she was our captain when we ushered into law the affordable care act, which has extended health care insurance to 20 illion americans and counting. she didn't stop there. and she led

and michael crowley, senior foreign affairs correspondent for politico. thank you all for being with me. i want to start with you, jeremy. i pulled you into late-night duty a second night in a row because you kept me up last night worrying and general hayden did it again tonight. i want to ask you about what he said. that he posited one of the motives of donald trump trash talking was to intimidate the intelligence community. do you agree with that? >> who knows? but i don't think it's going to work. they're used to talking to presidents and people at all levels of the government. this is what they train for. so i don't think it's going to be successful. i actually think tomorrow is a huge opportunity for the trump team to put a lot of this to rest and put it behind them. i think frankly all they've got to do tomorrow is come out sort of with a short statement that says, russia tried to hack our election. we don't think it had any impact on why donald trump had this big victory in the election. and third, we value the role of intelligence and we're going

monica crowley will not be joining the trump administration.he announced today she would not be taking a senior communications job of the national security council. crowley's work as a writer and commentator has been challenged by critics who say much of it was lifted from other writers. cnn reported last week several passages in the 2012 book written by crowley were plagiarized. she has not addressed those allegations had on but says she is not going into the trump administration. president-elect trump says his plan to replace obamacare is almost ready. he is promising something republicans have traditionally had problems with. promising "insurance for all." mike emanuel tells us how that's going down on capitol hill tonight. >> president-elect trump told "the washington post"'s team is finishing up a plan that would include "insurance for everybody." mr. trump is also targeting the pharmaceutical industry on drug prices. "they are politically protected but not anymore." the next white house press secretary explained today. >> his goal is to g

so i would like to introduce the panel and welcome mike crowley up to the stage. he currently visiting fellow at the american institute. ben rhodes security communication, speech righter. and mike crowley senior foreign affairs. i can go on with their bios, you know who they are. welcome to the stage, ben and mike. [ applause ] >> thank you catherine for that kind introduction. we're going to start with remarks were our guests. then we will have time at the end for your questions. and ben, we're going to kickoff with you. so tell us what's on your mind. >> i have a lot on my mind. >> let it rip, please. >> i'll be brief. for eight years, we wrestled with this question. i would make a few point to that. first, we tried to go beyond the existing infrastructure of exchange programs and public diplomacy abrad and find new ways to reach more audiences and the principal parts of that have effort were in line with some recommendation. we asked how do we talk to people about what they want to talk about. one of the challenges is the u.s. every day is talking about terrori

joining me from washington to discuss that is "politico" correspondent michael crowley.hael, so president trump visited the c.i.a. today, and he was very complimentary, but as we know, through most of the trapsition, he's basically derided the agency. so how does that relationship move forward, and what should we be looking for-- looking at as it moves forward? >> well, i think as trump himself said at the c.i.a. today, he's going to have his own director coming in. his nominee is mike pompeo, who is a republican congressman. now, democrats are putting up a little more of a fight than had been expected a couple of days ago. it's not guaranteed that pompeo is going to go through. but i think the trump team's view is that the heads of the intelligence communities at the top levels were obama appointees, and at the c.i.a., you have john brennan, who has already resigned, and also, likewise, the director of national intelligence, jim clapper, has also reviend. and i think there was, you know, not a good relationship between trump and either of those men. so he's going to hav

nice to have you here, crowley, correct? nice to have you.k to me about chelsea manning, for people who don't recall, it was back in 2011 that you were serving the obama administration and you ended up resigning from the state department after you made comments, and there was backlash against your comments, when you publicly criticized the treatment of chelsea manning in detention. >> sure. >> given that, how do you view what happened yesterday with president obama? >> well, the manning case, the manning case has -- has always defied easy definitions or easy solutions. many see chelsea manning as a whistle blower, i do not. he compromised hundreds of thousands of sensitive documents. put the lives of real people and interests at risk. there are some who see him as a traitor. i don't see that either. he was a naive, troubled soldier in a war zone. had the military done it's due diligence in terms of computer network security, he would not be able to pass these documentsen to julianssange and wikileaks. at the end of the day, i think that the o

this weekend, cnn reported that crowley had plagiarized multiple sources in her 2012 book, includingnew york times", wikipedia, and even a website for a podiatrist. [ light laughter ] that's right, trump's pick for director of strategic communications gets her info from a podiatrist's website. although, to be fair, her book was called "pictures of weird feet." [ light laughter ] crowley's appointment is yet another sign that trump may not be surrounding himself with the most competent or ethical people. which is why it's important to review all his cabinet nominees carefully. for example, cabinet appointments normally go through an ethics review process before they have their confirmation hearings. but this year, trump's team is doing things a little differently. >> we are now just days from the start of confirmation hearings in washington for u.s. president-elect donald trump's cabinet nominees. but the office of government ethics says several have still not been properly vetted. >> the problem? the office of government ethics has not received the nominees' financial disclosure info

doing extensive reporting about plagiarism by monica crowley, including in a 2012 book she wrote "thesition initially defended her, but we are now getting word she will not be joining the trump staff at the white house, will not be joining the national security council staff as a key spokeswoman. it's a staff job, but in terms of getting pushback, getting somebody out, is it significant? >> i think it's a s -- it actually does matter. it has seemed for a lot of opponents of trump that it doesn't matter what they throw at him because they just ignore it, and they issue very defiant statements like the one they initially issued in defense of monica crowley, but it turns out that if there's enough of an accumulation of stuff, i mean, it happened also for jason miller of the trump team, that there are some things you cannot survive in trump world, and from the outside it can seem arbitrary? >> we have tenacious diggers at cnn, including at the k file. kudos for them for finding it. shouldn't a personnel shop bringing people into an administration of the president of the united states be a

laura: here's phil crowley in washington. very much a topic of serious contention between democrats and republicans and certainly between environmentalists and republicans, despite the fact that as you just heard, donald trump a few hours ago described himself as an environmentalist. what he is doing here is taking the obama legacy on the chopping president sawmer himself blocking the keystone xl pipeline very much as part of his environmental legacy. and one of the steps on the path toward a climate deal signed in much, obama saw this very as something that would be seen as a stumbling block if he were not to stop the keystone xl pipeline. them will not necessarily be built straight away, but this advance is the possibility of both pipelines being built. one going from candidate to the gulf coast and the other from north dakota to illinois. both of them had been opposed very strongly by environmentalists and by democrats as well. for example, bernie sanders, the former opponent of hillary clinton in the democratic primaries,

crowley under president obama. president-elect, as you know, has been very skeptical of the intelligence analysis against the case against russia basically. here's what he said over the weekend. >> hacking is a very hard thing to prove. so it could be somebody else. i also know things that other people don't know. >> reporter: what do you know that other people don't know? >> you'll find out on tuesday or wednesday. >> a couple of follow-ups on that, p.j. u.s. intelligence officials told us as early as october the president-elect had been briefed on the russian interference possibly as early as august. has president elect seen the same information in making the decision to issue sanctions against russia? >> let's understand intelligence. intelligence doesn't tell what you to think, it doesn't tell you what to do. it does tell you what to think about. certainly president-elect trump is aware of the issue. his statement is not wrong in and of itself. you know, attribution is hard to prove, and yet we have seen our in

crowley to you first, you've been on the front lines of national security issues and political wars inashington. what do you make of the rift that donald trump has created with the intelligence community? >> i think he's painted himself into a corner certainly as we look forward to the confirmation hearings of his national security team, he's done them no favors. we saw this morning in the thoughtful hearing on capitol hill a very strong sentiment by members of the senate on a bipartisan basis that this is a serious situation, some even called it attack on the united states. i'm not sure i would use that terminology necessarily. and so coming up next week with his team on capitol hill, they're going to have to try to figure out how to get to the middle ground. and senators today basically charted it out for mr. trump, which is there's a difference between interference, which is clear, and influence which is less clear in terms of what impact russia had on the election. but there's no question, particularly given the report that we now see and also the sentiment of capitol hill, that ru
