joining me now is democratic senator diane feinstein, she serves on the intelligence committee. thank you for joining us, senator, appreciate it. so, you're on the intelligence committee. have you seen any evidence that president obama tapped donald trump's phone? >> no, i have not. and it's all rather shocking to me that a sitting president would make this kind of an allegation about a former president without any proof whatsoever. and as you know, the obama white house people and the obama people have responded and said that it was absolutely false. so, to keep this going with no proof i think is really dangerous for president trump. >> what do you think might be behind the president's claim? do you have any idea? >> no, i don't have any idea. it may have been some right wing news channel. i don't know. as we all know, sometimes these things are wrong on these news channels. but this is different. this is a sitting president of the united states who makes a charge against the former president, and it's a serious charge. and i believe it's patently false. so, without any back u

now, diane feinstein, who is a senior democratic on that committee, told me it's a distinct possibility that the committee could try to subpoena for those tax returns. actually telling me the tax returns become a primary lead into the russian connection and russian money in his businesses. he's visited russia six times by his own voice on television, who knows what the situation is, and wolf, this committee gives a lot of power for democrats to try to subpoena those records. they do not need support of republicans on that committee. so we'll see if they take that step. right now they're not there yet you but they said it is a distinct possibility. >> manu, we'll get back to you if any of the members in that closed door briefings with the director. let us know if any of that is happening. i want to get the president's hard sell on healthcare. let's go to correspondent athena jones. the president said it's going great but the revolt among conservatives seems to be strengthening. >> that's right. that seems to be growing. the president is prepared to spend political capital to get this don

you just heard my interview with senator diane feinstein. one of the bigger headlines out of it, out of hearing was that the russian interference went beyond the general election and the presidential and distant stop after the presidential race. take a look. >> russia's overt and covert sought to side line opponents both sides of the political spectrum with adversarial views toward the kremlin. they were in full swing in the political season. long before the field narrowed. senator rubio, in my opinion, you anecdotally suffered from these efforts. >> that cyber security expert later said that all of trump's republican primary opponents were targeted by russians. not the just rubio. and then rubio told the committee, it may still be happening. >> i would like the inform the committee within the last 24 hours, at 10:45 a.m. yesterday, a second attempt was made again against former members of my presidential campaign team who had access to our internal information, again targeted from an ip address from an unknown location in russia. and that e

senator diane feinstein saying it could happen as well. all of this of course is part of the probe to see if there are financial ties between president trump and russia. >>> thank you for that, jessica, and we do have breaking news on that front, possible connections between the largest bank in russia and a server in the trump organization. right now we want to talk about the significance of the briefing. tom, let me start with you. so obviously here, the fbi director right now, it is unclear how many probes are going on and exactly who they involvement but clearly the top members here of the house and senate intelligence committee, those with top security clearances are demanding answers from the fbi director. >> right, erin, but we don't know especially how much detail director comey went into with these briefings with the gang of 8. so we just don't know how much was provided to them more than what they knew before the meeting, we're not sure. we're still not sure how much has gotten out and may not know in the short run what was said c
