, year and earlier i spoke with an energy expert, john driscoll, about the outlook for oil, and he said about chinese plans for an oilfutures is sceptical about chinese plans for an oil futures market. this time there appears to be more conviction but the real question is are if a chinese energy futures contract can ascend to the same kind of level as the cme in the states, or the intercontinental futures exchange in london, which are the main benchmark futures exchanges for crude oil and products globally. it has to also gain acceptance from the industry at large. you can look at some commodity contracts in china and see that there are large volumes traded, but they are more speculative. it seems almost like a casino for yield seeking punters, large interests, and long forward trade. the other question will be the role this chinese central government will play. if you are a foreign trade and wa nt to play. if you are a foreign trade and want to enter the chinese market, would you be willing to take on the yuan denominated exposure, versus the us dollar? will there be deliverability on

commissioner driscoll?> for that particular chart, be prepared to break it out, the act versus the retired. that line includes the retirees. there's always the issue of how actively are participants still saving even if it is a voluntary plan. >> you're right. i would assume this includes retirees, not just those who are currently contributing. >> so would i. i was going to ask to the discretion of the manager and the chairman of the committee. we had a meeting the other day. i think staff reflected a lot more activities that are going to be going on the next couple of months, plus the investment policy and the product -- i'm trying to think of the second document. we've been voting with t

. >> my understanding, just what i missed, is that what commission er driscoll asked was that we have a clear understanding by april, definition, of what we mean by what we're doing. is that correct? >> yes. >> but we're asking for a plan by july. i mean they're two different -- there's two tasks that go together hand and hand. i don't think you can have one without the other. why would we try to set two different timelines. you say they're incapable of doing this and we'll have to bring it back or we're going to give them time, they're asking for it. it's a statement. that's a retore cal statement. we have to give staff time watch is three months? staff is asking are few time. how can you ignore that? if you want to meet with staff, they're happy to meet with you. i think share what they're working on. am i wrong? >> unless i'm missing something, i keep looking at commissioner driscoll, you stated that by april, they should come back with the definition of what we were going to be looking at so that we all had a clear understanding at what was going forward from that point. is that c

election. >> harris: robert driscoll, deputy attorney general under president george w.ush, we appreciate your time breaking it down. thank you. president trump reiterated today that his position on a border wall with mexico has never changed or evolved. at this after white house chief of staff john kelly suggested a potential shift. while the president be able to keep one of his main campaign promises? we will talk with top border security, the official head of it all next. >> he has evolved in the way he's looked at things. campaigning and governing our two different things in this president has very flexible. if yor crohn's symptoms are holding you back, and your current treatment hasn't worked well enough, it may be time for a change. ask your doctor about entyvio, the only biologic developed and approved just for uc and crohn's. entyvio works at the site of inflammation in the gi tract and is clinically proven to help many patients achieve both symptom relief and remission. infusion and serious allergic reactions can happen during or after treatment. entyvio may inc

robert driscoll on what is really new here. foundation spokesman, as you heard saying, is much adieu about nothing here. the clinton foundation does more good than bad and this keeps getting explored and dragged out. what are your thoughts on this? >> well, my thoughts are that this investigation is probably been going on and just became public now because a witness decided to talk. from the outside, it seems like there's enough there to investigate. you look at the donations to the foundation, plummeted once mrs. clinton lost the election and you look at the speaking fees for bill went up when she became secretary of state. it certainly seems that donors had in mind that they were getting something other than the kind of charitable activities that they're paying for. the they're paying for charitable activities, there shouldn't have been a huge dip if it wasn't connected to mrs. clinton's political career. that is where people are starting to look at to see if there's anything improper that went into some of those donations. >

let's bring in robert driscoll, former deputy assistant attorney general.e knew they had gone far afield and we know that's what investigators sometimes do. can he win? >> no, i don't think he can win the underlying lawsuit but that doesn't mean the lawsuit is not a good idea or a strategy on the part of the defense team. even if he did win, i think some other opponent could bring the same indictment. the regulations are much narrower than the independent counsel statute which was allowed to expire which had some concerns raised about it. i think it's a pretty savvy move in that it's got this narrative in the news that mueller overreached and went back about matter is that all predated the trump campaign. the underlying case, there is a gag order that wouldn't allow the defense team to put all that out there and in this case they can put that out there. there may be a jurisdiction problem, i am sure lots of smart people would say there was no chance of succeeding long-term but by forcing mueller to defend it there be benefits. >> harris: can anyone rein in

standing by at the white house, also onset here, former deputy assistant attorney general, robert driscoll, and our panel for the next 60 minutes, white house reporter for bloomberg, shani pettypiece and nick johnson. let's get to it and drill-down on the new york times report. because you need to know what is in it and what we didn't know before. so michael, i want to start off with this graphic here. this morning president trump is telling the white house lawyer apparently back in march to instruct the attorney general jeff sessions to stay on in the russia probe. nbc news has just confirmed part of this report. now, sessions, of course, ultimately did, in fact, recuse himself from the russia investigation. the president furious saying the attorney general was not protecting him. so we're also learning a couple other critical pieces that an aide to the attorney general reportedly went to capitol hill before testimony from fbi director james comey, basically looking for dirt expressing hope to a staffer to try to receive some negative stories about comey. the doj denying this. at the same
