miss donaldson didn't answer over 200 questions. the white house does not want people to say what happened in the white house because they know that they are in danger of letting the american people know that they obstructed justice. and mueller basically said he obstructed justice. he'll be before us on the 17th. i imagine he'll put some flesh on the bones. but that's a crime. and it's what caused nixon to resign. and it's a cancer on this presidency. >> well, annie donaldson did confirm some key details from the mueller report. on what issues were her answers most valuable to you and your committee members? >> she confirmed that there was concern about the comey firing, and that came -- we wanted her to answer questions that she responded to mueller about, and they wouldn't let her. it's just a continuing blockade by the administration of responding to what went on. and when you've got a lot to hide, it should cause the american public to hit pause on what's going on in the white house. >> as you know, mueller is scheduled to test

i know you also have new details about the testimony of annie donaldson.or people who don't recognize that name, that is the former chief of staff to white house counsel don mcgahn. she was a key witness in the mueller investigation. what did you learn? >> steph, this unfolded yesterday. it mirrored really what we saw happen with hope hicks, where annie donaldson was not able to answer very many of these questions. and when we saw hope hicks testify, she was part of the same batch of subpoenas that brought hope hicks up here behind closed doors, and the sort of idea here even if they don't actually learn anything from these witnesses, is help illustrate in court just how much the trump administration is stonewalling congress as they try to learn more. donaldson -- >> but she's a private citizen. she's not a member of the administration. and she's allowed to say to congress, sorry, the white house is directing me, i'm not allowed to say that? >> that is the legal question at hand, steph. i'm not the judge making that call. house democrats are saying that's

late today, house judiciary committee released written responses from annie donaldson, you may remember she served as chief of staff to don mcgahn. donaldson answered the committee's questions on paper notably, not in person about potential obstruction of justice by the president. the committee says the white house blocked donaldson from answering 212 of their questions, but she did confirm the accuracy of notes she made while working in the white house notes that mueller sited 65 times in his report. for instance, she confirmed after trump fired comey, she wrote in her notes is this the beginning of the end? in nine days mueller himself will testify before the house judiciary and intelligence committees both. today the attorney general bill barr was asked about that upcoming hearing. >> next week you got robert mueller stepping before congress for testimony. will you be watching and is there anything in particular -- >> i don't know if i'll be watching in realtime but i'm sure what he says will get to me somehow. disappointed to see him subpoenaed because i don't think that serves any

when asked where her office was, donaldson answered.imed constitutionally confidentiality interests 212 times. she refused to answer whether her boss asked her to take notes and if the president asked her not to. the time that donald trump called and got jeff sessions to unrecuse from the mueller investigation. her notes are cited in the mueller report that the white house wouldn't let her answer. they asked about her handwritten note about being in the middle of another russia fiasco. you guessed t the white house wouldn't let her answer. same thing about her quotes of serious concerns about obstruction as sighted in the mueller report. and the time trump called mcgahn and ordered him to fire robert mueller. no surprise, the white house wouldn't let her answer that one either. it wasn't a total loss because she did confirm a few key passages from the mueller report like several actions that exposed trump to obstruction of justice and ordered mcgahn to meddle the in mueller investigation. the plot thickens. one week and two days until h

then we're going to hear from mcgann, hope hicks, annie donaldson, cory lewandowski, on down the line. one of the big questions about mueller's testimony, how much of an impact could it make? as much as he's the all knowing guy, he's not a firsthand witness. he's not able to say at any point, i was in the room when this happened. the president turned to me did this. that's a much harder hit. i think we're going to see a trial like proeting. i think we're looking into the winter and spring. it will go to the court of appeals and that will take months. >> that's the challenge. the momentum may be sort of coming out of the -- the air may be coming out of the balloon on this. they may be losing momentum. an august -- we have not seen these explosive nixon-type hearings because the white house has stalled and said, we're not going to provide any witnesses. robert mueller ended up coming to the hill but was not the explosive witness you saw from john. >> deion:. this makes it much more difficult to make the report come to life. people may grow weary with the process and think this is congre

the other with a can do it is how they have done it with interviews with say, andy donaldson and hope hicks with a do the interview behind closed doors. they transcribe it. and the make that transfer public. the day after, a couple days after. not sure see the point of that. the purpose of congressional investigations, i think typically they have two purposes. one is fact-finding. 2 is public illumination. the deputies are there for public illumination because they are behind closed doors. they are there for run point for fact-finding. hopefully to get the committee some new avenues to look at that they didn't run down. so, whether they really set the public or not, i'm not sure how much difference it really makes. >> andy, you probably, i'm looking at people i know who have testify before, but you have probably been on the hot seat the most. what does it feel like kind of, what are going to feel like -- will he be, will he be sweating intense? will it feel like to 6 hours passes in 10 minutes? do you constantly rethink, i should've said that last answer? a little bit this way. how is

we were tired of dan rather and sam donaldson. you guys were pure news.at cnn built its brand on. but this year, i saw over and over again as i worked with them that it was all about trump, it was all about trump hatred, and what they basically did on my contract was non-renew it and they wanted to replace people like me and jason miller or stephen moore with republicans who hate trump. so we were pushed exit stage right, i guess you would say, and replaced by people who would say oh, yeah, no, i totally disagree with donald trump. some of them aren't even republicans. stuart: do you think it's going to change at all? i mean, look, the ratings are in the tank. they are way down there. ratings are important, whether you like it or not. are they still not going to change? >> i don't think so. i think it's become a left wing opinion platform as opposed to a news channel, which is what it started out being. you know, unfortunately, they were wrong so much. that was to me one of the ironies and the disappointments. night after night being on these shows and he
