dianne feinstein wants to find out more about this conversation that don jr. had. and if manafort does not respond to their questions, they will potentially subpoena. and that come knnominee, christ wray, she seemed positive about this nominee. are you going to vote yes or where are you on this nominee right now? >> i'll be very candid with you, i'm going to vote yes. i see him as being a good fbi director. how good, the proof is always in the pudding. it's always when you're there. it's always the nature of the job and how you handle the unexpected. but i think in this man, we have somebody who understands the process of justice, who is committed to the appropriate parts of the process. who does not look at himself as a servant of the chief executive. >> so it sounds like this nomination is going to sail through, she's not the only democrat who's signaling she would support christopher wray, also patrick leahy, signaling he's going to also support christopher wray's nomination. i mentioned earlier, dana, this investigation is happening in the senate judiciary comm

private interview my home state senator grassley is going to conduct along with ranking member dianne feinstein, i think that's the right first step. actually it's not a win for manafort or don junior. i see that as a very risky first move because as a criminal defense lawyer in addition to a former federal prosecutor, you don't want to tell your story over and over because it's very hard for human beings, and we're all human beings, to tell the same story in the same way repeatedly. to go into that meeting and to tell the story privately and then have potentially a public hearing in the future together with bob mueller's investigation looming and maybe an interview there, i think that's a risky plan but at the same time i see it as from people that don't think they have anything to hide. >> you say risky for don junior and for manafort, but what about for kushner? >> well, you know, kushner is in an interesting position because he's part of the administration and that brings a heightened scrutiny. i think all three of them need to tell the story about that meeting, why they took the meeting, w

this is according to senator dianne feinstein who i just talked to moments ago.o, wolf, another significant development. i talked to the senate intelligence committee chairman richard burr and asked him specifically if he wants to learn more about what happened at that trump tower meeting. and he gave a most extensive comment to date about the fact he does, and also wants to hear from those as well. take a listen to richard burr. >> do you also feel you understand everything about what happened in that trump tower meeting at this point? >> no. absolutely not. i think there's a lot to learn from that and we've reached out to the appropriate people and asked them to provide information for us and to testify possibly publicly, but it's too early in that to draw any conclusions but i, you know, our job is to put the facts on the table and follow wherever it goes. >> and do you want -- don junior? >> you have to ask him to come in. public, private, how you proceed and at what pace. still, has to be determined by information that we learned between now and the time we

it's important to remember, guys, that a subpoena like this takes the agreement and both names, dianne feinstein and chuck grassley were on these press releases this morning about this. so the two of them feinstein a democrat, grassley the republican chaman, have agreed that this is what they want to do. it's entirely possible there could be behind the scenes negotiations today between the lawyers and committee that could result in manafort doing something other than appearing in public, maybe talking to them behind cloegsed doors and turning over the interview he did with the senate intelligence committee. there are a variety of options potentially on the table but right now there's something of a showdown going on and it's been commanded that manafort show up at the committee tomorrow. >> how about the other showdown -- jared kushner is add house intel answering questions. seems he was on the novice, i didn't know better. paul manafort certainly did. what's in store for jared at this moment? >> reporter: i think that's a good way to set this up because the discussion about what manafort may be

that is not sufficient to the chuck grassley, the republican chairman and the top democrat, dianne feinstein. as a result, they are issuing a subpoena for him to appear in public on wednesday. so, it's uncertain whether or not mr. manafort will comply with the subpoena request. i put the question out to his representatives. we'll see what they have to say. a pretty dramatic move here as paul manafort is in the cross hairs of two committees. now the senate judiciary committee, which wants to hear from him in public. guys? >> manu, wednesday, being tomorrow, and in public is when the republican chair is subpoenaing manafort. there are so many things about this that are big and just reading the statement from grassley, they say they were unable to reach an agreement for a voluntary transcribed interview. was that for their record or an unwillingness to have that released to the public. do you know? >> reporter: it appears to be not necessarily release to the public, release to the committee, according to the statement from the senate judiciary committee. they wanted their own interview, get acc

republicanss and democrats, dianne feinstein among them saying he did well today.'m going to vote yes for him. what does the job look like in a way that was different maybe for a previous fbi director? >> i think the key difference is that wray is now entrusted with maintaining the integrity of government. it's not just simply about the fbi performing the tasks you expect the bureau to perform. it's about knowledge that the key people in touch stone institutions in this country not political hacks coming out of something like an american version of a chavista government. it sends a signal of government that confidence is at an all time low and they're attacking the deep state as if it's some kind of conspiracy against their elected officials. he's standing up and saying this sold deep state is what stands between us and the lawless regime. >> yeah, senator leahy asked about this loyalty pledge during the hearing today. and wray said my loyalty is to the constitution, and the rule of law and the fbi. you shouldn't have to make this point. >> but you do right now. th

>> and what you have today is reaction on capitol hill, andrea, from democrats like senator dianne feinstein, amy klobuchar and chuck grassley who say robert mueller is someone who is going to do his job, that he's not restricted by this president or by the bounds really of the narrow, this is a russia investigation and he can't therefore look into the president's finances. those lawmakers saying robert mueller is going to look into any area that he feels necessary to get to the bottom of what happened here. and, again, andrea, i think this goes back to the messaging, remember how we started this week, this was a week that was supposed to focus on native america progress, products, there have been a number of different events focused on that exact thing, on health care, which has hit such a major speed bump, and yet this is the president taking aim at his attorney general and at the special council and a lot of concerns about what this warning to the special council might mean. i think that's why you're seeing this very sharp backlash on capitol hill, andrea. >> kristen welker at the white h

dianne feinstein, people who have been highly critical of how the decision went down to fire comey. > look at chris reines reputation and look at his answers today, he was very clear with the committee and with the democratic members in particular. the segment you played with lindsey graham though i think is probably where democratic members took their most solace which is for him to say basically very honestly, you know, you get that kind of e-mail you should call the fbi. it is clear he has a problem with the approach that was taken by don jr. i think that, you know, democrats want an independent, strong fbi director as much as anybody, and they heard what they wanted to hear. >> i want to shift a little bit to what i did in my obsession, which is there's sort of like trying to plot a political campaign strategy in the middle of dealing with two big problems you're staring at if you're mitch mcconnell, one is wherever health care will end up and dealing with that and two is the drip, drip, drip of russia. so you have a base fired up with donald trump. at the same time embracing dona

in an interview today, senator dianne feinstein called north korea a clear and present danger. >> north korea has never moved at the speed that this leader has to develop an icbm and to have a trajectory which, as of the latest analysis, would enable it to go about 6,000 miles, and maybe even hit as far east as chicago. >> feinstein went on to say serious negotiations with the north are needed to put a stop to their missile program. >>> coming up, a passenger gets punched by an airline employee, while holding a baby. what led up to that blow. >> plus minced, chopped, or on top of french fries. we have a look at this year's top dishes. passenger... who was holding a baby. it happened at the neece airport in fra the victim >>> check it this out, an airport worker punched a passenger who was holding a baby. it happened at the nice airport in france. the airport director said the victim complained about the delay to the airport worker, and the worker suddenly lashed out. easy jet released a statement saying easy jet is very concerned to see this picture, and can confirm the person in the ph

host: dianne feinstein brought up this issue. her view is there is not enough prosecution. here is what she had to say. [video clip] >> in september of 2016, the justice department reported that 62% of the registrations it had reviewed had been filed late. 50% were incomplete. i will let you draw your conclusions from that. authoritiesn is our don't take the law seriously, and we need to change that. there appears to be no meaningful penalty for late or incomplete filings, and over the past 50 years, the justice department has prosecuted only seven fara cases. instead, when violations are discovered, the department encourages compliance, creating a system where there are no consequences for failing to follow the law. host: that is a judiciary committee hearing from this past week, focusing on that inspector general's report on fara. what is your take? guest: we have been following it carefully. i think the senator is absolutely correct that there is a large incidence of people filing registration statements late. under the law, you are supposed to register within 10 days. y

the aclu and many democratic senators, led by dianne feinstein, wanted to know what exactly he did. yesterday at his hearing, he said he doesn't ever remember offering approving, or comment on any of those memos, which inspired techniques like waterboarding and other harsh tactics used against detainees in the war on terror. he said late in his tenure at the criminal division in 2004, he may have signed off on one memo, but he was not making a value judgment, and he pointed out yesterday that his criminal division actually prosecuted a cia contractor for going too far, killing a detainee and afghanistan. host: let's listen to christopher wray in his own words when he is asked his views on torture. [video clip] >> first, let me say, my view is that torture is wrong, it is unacceptable, it is illegal, and i think it is an effective. second, let me say -- >> good beginning. [laughter] >> exactly. second, both of my predecessors, director comey and director mueller, had a policy, which i think is the right policy and i would expect to continue, that the fbi is going to play no part in t

dianne feinstein says the special counsel overseeing the russia investigation, robert mueller, has raised no objection. former trump campaign manager paul manafort will also be invited. the senate intelligence committee is also keen to hear from them. i asked the bbc‘s suzanne kianpour, in washington, what more we know about the hearings. well, we don't know a whole lot because they haven't set... first of all, they haven't actually sent out the subpoenas yet, and if and when they do, we don't know if they will happen in public. we also don't know if donald trump jr will decide to invoke the fifth amendment, which allows him to not answer questions. however, what we do know is that this would be significant, because donald trumer is the highest member of president trump's inner circle to be questioned in these congressional investigations. and remember, there's several congressional investigations. and, as you mentioned, the senate intelligence committee also wants to have a go at this. the top democrat on the committee, mark warner, has called this very disturbing, and wonders why it has

that's what senator dianne feinstein said earlier today. here's what she said. >> we can hold him in contempt, and that's a more complicated process. i hope that's not the case. i think he has said that he would testify in public, and i think this is important that he do so. i think it's important that members of the committee have an opportunity to see him. he's a very complicated figure, and there is a lot of material there and a lot of questions that he raises. >> reporter: now, a source familiar with this morning's appearance before the senate intelligence committee the tells me that paul manafort and the staff of that committee discussed that trump tower meeting from june 2016 with donald trump jr., jared kushner, and mr. manafort with the russians in which donald trump jr. was, of course, that we now know was promised dirt on the clinton campaign from people maybe tied to the kremlin. now, manafort only answered questions about that subject. i'm told, brooke, but he did promise to come before that committee and talk to the members and
