joining us now democratic congressman eric swalwell. also with us jil wine-banks, and mimi roca, both msnbc legal contributors. congressman swalwell, you were in the room with roger stone when he discussed all this with your committee. are you surprised of these reports of robert mueller's focus on him? no, not at all. this is someone who had a long-standing relationship with donald trump, had encouraged him in the past to run for president and now had drawn himself quite close to donald trump while he was also talking to guccifer 2.0, talking to wikileaks and assange. now, roger stone would like us all to believe this self-avowed dirty trickster, that's what he called himself, somehow came clean in the election and sat on it side lines when someone close to him, and no one ever to roger stone had ever gotten this close to the presidency. it just doesn't add up. >> how do you characterize his testimony to your committee? >> it wasn't forthcoming because he had to keep updating it as reporting came out. thank god for the free press becaus

we have congressman eric swalwell joining us. and we'll be reporting this hour on the strange story of the arrest of a u.s. treasury department official. this is a relatively senior official at the law enforcement part of the u.s. treasury department, who has now been criminally charged with feeding information to reporters about suspicious bank transitions that relate to the russia scandal, and the mueller investigation. if you have been following the mueller investigation at all, one of the things you learned early on is that there really are no leaks whatsoever in mueller and his team of prosecutors. it has therefore always been a sort of unusual and interesting thing that there have been seemingly quite accurate sources of information about financial information, about banking information that is information that was apparently being used by mueller. so this arrest today indicates at least where that suspiciously correct financial information might have come from in terms of how it made its way into the press. this is a prett

joining us now is congressman eric swalwell, member of the house intelligence committee.ice to have you with us, sir. >> you too, joy. thanks for having me back. >> let's talk about this. you have the rare sliver of distance between donald trump and a handful of republicans in congress about what the saudis have done, but does that translate in any way into congress demanding the information that's being withheld from them by the white house? >> i'm not seeing that at all, joy. this is so familiar. you see the feigned outrage from my republican colleague, and once donald trump firmly takes a position, the sycophants start to come out, and they start to back off and they abdicate their principles to get behind the president. and that is so disturbing. but to just take a step back here, i don't want to lose the humanity in all of this because i think the first thing we should demand is that the remains of mr. khashoggi be turned over to his family. he had a fiancee. he had a family. he had a presence in the united states, and we should be demanding that first, especially if
