this all came after the house intel committee ramped up its oversight efforts surrounding multiple doj led to investigations in january. in other words, let me make this clear. rod rosenstein was trying to bully, intimidate, threaten house republican, house intel committee chairman and their members from following and doing their constitutional duty of oversight. we have in the system in our country cnd balances, separation of powers.it's actuae u.s. constitution. the way, you should and i will call it proper hassle that anybody in the department of justice would ever use their power or threaten to use their power is america's defect out of law enforcement official to literally intimidate members of congres. former chief assistant u.s. attorney after mccartney summed it up, "rod rosenstein's subpoena threat, he's conflicted and he's a like it." harvard law professor alan dershowitz rightly speaking out. watch this. >> this is a classic dispute between separation of powers. the legislature has the power obviously to oversee an investigation, investigate the executive branch. a member of

i have talked to senior people in the house intel committee previously that have told me that yes, rob rosenstein was threatening a senior aide to devin nunes, the chair of the committee and he was going after his ema on his text messages and his phone cal, which would violate the separation of powers and sort of turns on its head the idea that the house intel committee and other panels in congress have oversight power over the justi department and the executive branch. so this is remarkable. it comes in the context of the president trying to change the narrative frankly and saying we should also be looking not just a similar investigation and what we are looking at with the trump campaign and the trump administration, but the investigation of the investigator is, whether it's just us or fbi. andrew mccabe is in hot water as. >> tucker: i've got reports that rosenstein has a vicious temper behind the scenes. you know the source of catherine herridge, you think you know where it is? >> of course, and they have outed him now. these are links coming from the department of justice obviousl

was this heated meeting where the deputy attorney general essentially made it clear that if house intel committee with their threats hold him in contempt of congress, that he would be entitled then to discovery on their communications on that issue. well, another network reported that the house intel committee felt threatened and that the deputy attorney general actually threatened them with a criminal investigation but sources tell me that is false and the attorney general jeff sessions is now coming to defense of his deputy. take a listen. i'm confident that deputy rosenstein 28 years in the department of justice did not improperly threaten anyone on that occasion. chris wray, the director of the fbi and our senior ethics attorney was there and others and it not see it in that same fashion. >> reporter: sessions went on to know that clearly relationships have broken down here between the justice department and capitol hill. all culminaenstein referring this matter to the top lawyer for the house of representatives. >> before you go, the former fbi director andy mccabe who was fired by jeff sess

shouting match that happened in one of these meetings and that he threaten members of the house intel committee with subpoenaing them. he said i want to see your emails. let me turn the subena game on you guys. >> we have a duty to oversee the department of justice and here's what i say to mr. rosenstein. youon't believe that the department of justice was off the rails, you are clearly not looking at the same department of justice i'm looking at. you don't need the fbi was in the tank for clinton and hated terms were not looking at the details that are there to be seen. don't be upset because we are calling you out for having a department of justice that is out of control. the house has a duty to oversee the department of justice. so does the senate and we are not going to be threatened by the department of justice, we will be threatened by professional oversight. >> martha: i told that that happens on a regular basis. >> at just about had it with the rosenstein approach her. >> martha: what happens? where does this end? >> just stay tuned. tha: stay tuned, okay. we will. senator graham, thank

this latest f between rosenstein and the staff on the house intel committee a goes back to a heated meetingy of this year right on the heels of the house intel committee, chairman devin nunes who start threatening rod rosenstein for fairlure to turn over documents from the russian investigation. rosenstein threatened house intel in the room for criminal investigation for their own conduct. two sources tell me that is false. rosenston says if you hole me in content i'll be able to defend myself. >> laura jarrett with the news tonight. thank for that. >>t was a critical point in the election, the president should be briefed on it, i'm not bothered by that at all. remember, don, donald trump just days before the election wanted to throw a parade for jim comey for reopening the investigation. now, to suggest that he's offended by the way he handled it. what i'm more upset about is the president refuses to be briefed on what the russians did in 2016 in the election and what they're willing to do in 20 he's obsessed with comey, because tha about him. but he's not obsessed about us and our democra

attorney general threatened to a subpoena on the email or phone records of members of the house intel committeeand i cannot speak to what occurred. all i can say is that the people -- the director of the fbi at our senior ethics attorney was there and others and they did not see that in the same fashion. >> tucker: so as a factual matter, you don't think that happened? >> i'm confident that deputy rosenstein after 28 years and the department of justice did not improperly threaten anyone on that occasion. but we do believe that we have tried to be cooperative with them and made progress in months, as the months have gone by. in fact, we have had some good relationships with the members of congress. >> tucker: okay. so you have made news recently by undoing an obama era rule about asylum-seekers. give us the overview. i think most americans like the idea that this can be a haven for people suffering around the world. lots of people claim asylum, what do we know about the veracity of their claims? >> that's a good question. seven years ago, 5,000 people applied for asylum claiming a credible fear

this latest feud between rosenstein and the staff on the house intel committee all goes back to a heated meeting in january of this year right on the heels of the house intel committee, chairman devin nunes who started regularly threatening rod rosenstein with contempt of congress for failure to turn over documents from the russian investigation. earlier another network reported that at that meeting rosenstein essentially threatened house intel staff in the room for a criminal investigation for their own conduct. two sources tell me that is false. rosenstein essentially said if you hold me in contempt realize i will be able to defend myself. >> laura jarrett with the news tonight. thank you, i appreciate that let's discuss all of this with congressman eric swalwell a democrat on the house intelligence committee. first what's your assessment of this breaking news that rosenstein will brief the president on thursday? >> it's all right. it was a critical point. the president should be briefed on it. i'm not bothered by it at all. donald trump just days before the election wanted to throw a

committee. so senator, rod rosenstein, at least as of now has not met this deadline, refusing to provide the documents that the house intelin nunes, wants. nunes wants him to answer to the house intel committee. did the fbi use informants against the trump campaign? if so, how many were there? and how much money was spent on them? do you think the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein is stonewalling? >> the deputy attorney general is rightly standing his ground in protecting a confidential criminal investigation. remember, he's already turned over literally thousands of documents, as many as 1,400 just on friday. but there are limits to what should be turned over to an ongoing congressional investigation, while there is a criminal investigation underway. and anybody who's done criminal investigations understands that confidentiality is supremely important. so i think the deputy attorney general is on firm ground here, if there is an order of contempt, i think the courts will refuse to apply it. >> so, senator, look, some people watching may say, okay. did the fbi use informants? how many were there? how much were they p

maria: i'm back with house intel committee chair devon nunes. mr.man you've got the primary in california next week. you've also got an ig report forthcoming. what do you expect from the inspector general's report with regards to the e-mail investigation of hillary clinton >> well, we're a little disappointed in that this has been delayed another week and my experience with this is a lot of time the lawyers get a hold of it and they start to watern the report so it was supposedly we're supposed to receive it this week now pushed to next week. i know there are some interviews with the fbi officials on this this week these are also officials that were very interested in because a lot of the clinton e-mail investigation team are the same people that are involved with the scandals that we're interviewing and investigating. maria: and you've got the primary in california on tuesday right before that primary you being a california congressman i want to get your take on this because basically as an ideology of the california republican party less than a we

maria: an we are back with house intel committee chairman devon nunes and mr. chairman you were just saying a moment ago that we could clear all of this up this week if you were to review the documents are you telling us you have yet to see the document that you've requested from the department of justice which gives you a timeline into how this investigation into the trump campaign started? >> that is correct, so last august, we issued a subpoena, which should haveeen provided all of this information that we've been asking for over and over and over again we issued a new subpoena and so now we've been waiting. we've attended two briefings, they were very small briefings not a lot of information but we were happy it was progress, and we believe that there are some documents information that we will review this week. what i would say is if you don't have anything to hide, the deputy attorney general knows that mr. gowdy would love to exonerate the department of justice and the fbi so just provide us all the documents, everything that we're asking for let us come

joining me now, congressman eric swalwell, a member of the house intel andiary committees. great to see you today. thanks for joining us. >> you too, harris. thanks. >> harris: i was talking previously and i don't know how much can you hearith eist of georgia. we were talking about this there is going to be some proof of whether or not the doj, the head the doj deputy a.g. threatened members of congress with subpoenas. so i want to getour take on it some people are talking about it like it didn't happen. some people are saying it can je are waiting learn what happened. but i know the reputation of rod rosenstein and that is one of impeccable character. and i know the reputation of devin nunes and that is one of misleading, obstructing, attempting to intervene in an investigation, has made claims that have routinely been proved false. so, i go just with the credibility of mr. rosenstein on this one. >> harris: yeah. i think we should follow the facts on it i mean,. >> credibility matters, you know. like. >> harris: facts matter, too. and they don't care about your feelings.

considering that we can't have her ties or promote any of our tweets logically speaking the house intel committee shouldn't be worried about us influencing the outcome of the twenty eighteen mid-term elections so we'll have to see what happens. we certainly will. reporting live from washington and a mind of what's happening in. egypt at the moment the score is three nil us three nil to go school very close together in the second half and it's still ongoing so we'll keep you updated with those schools of course right that's the round of that we have on international a world cup highlights and the top stories of the day we'll be back at the top of the hour. times are this is the kaiser report a report that drills into your mind impregnate your soul with the truth. that is very bizarre but we're still here at kaiser report college to report over there could have been a hole under the this one that's why i had to cover it up punched my fist through the wall when i heard about something egregious happening in the banking system that raccoon that climbed to the top of your reaction. to you know somebod
