intelligence community and they really wanted to get that out there i guess if the house republicans write this contradicts the u.s. intelligence committee's findings as you say how will the democrats now respond what can they do about this. well i think that the first thing that's going to happen is that the house democrats are going to put more of their pressure sort of on the senate investigation the one that's being led by richard burr the republican senator from north carolina and mark warner of a democrat from virginia that's been a more bipartisan investigation so i expect that adam schiff in the other house democrats are going to say what we need to do now is actually wait for the senate to get its work done because the republicans in the house clearly wanted to end this investigation whether or not they found anything it might be because they hadn't really looked under all the rocks kneels out this republican decision to end the house wash investigation comes as special counsel. appears to be accelerating the been quite a few developments over the last few weeks as you said the senate is also forging ahead with its investigation do you see the house report undermining thes

this is a conclusion of democrats, who accuse republicans of prematurely shutting down the house intelligence committee's russia probe. >> this is no way to run an investigation. >> reporter: democrats a the committee has yet to explore a proposed business deal in moscow. they say the trump organization was, quote, actively negotiating in moscow with a sanctioned russian bank as donald trump was running for president. a source tells cnn that's a reference to efforts to pursue a trump tower moscow project, by trump's personal lawyer, michael cohen, a project that was later abandoned. cohen's partner in the effort, felix sater, said he worked out financing with russia's vtv bank. the bank has denied this. the democrats say a russian pop star had prior knowledge of the june 2016 meeting with donald trump jr. and senior trump officials which was to provide dirt on the clinton campaign. democrats say they have a, quote, good faith reason to believe that the white house possesses documents about conversations the president had with james comey before his firing last year as fbi director. comey has

>> on capitol hill today we heard from the house intelligence committee's ranking democrat, adam schiff, who says he wants to recall eric prince that testified last year about this january 2017 meeting at a group of islands and the crown prince from the united arab emirates who happened to be at the meeting and has a strong relationship with the russian president. democrats alleged today there's a larger conspiracy. >> that this meeting was part of an effort to establish a back channel to russia, that the meeting that eric prince had with the russian banker was not happenstance. it's at odds with what we heard in the testimony before the house intelligence committee. >> committee democrats want george nader to testify. he's reportedly cooperating with the special counsel investigation. nader played a role setting up the january meeting in the seychelles. eric prince said the meeting with the russian businessman happened by chance and at the suggestion of the united air -- arab emirates and did not have a xi jinping to create a back channel with the russians. this goes to the heart of th

house intelligence committee. it was a very powerful decision. >> house intelligence committee democrats vowing to keep looking for russian collusion. >> we will continue to do the investigation. we have never had the power to call witnesses. >> the real action turns to the senate where two committees continue their own investigations of collusion. at a pace that has the parties at odds. >> bluntly the judiciary committee investigation has been painfully and glacially slow. >> the only collusion investigation appears any and from the hyperpartisan influence of this election year is one being undertaken by the justice department as vector general. he has no power to indictment his findings can be used in a criminal proceeding. >> bret: thank you. federal judge says former trump campaign chairman paul manafort faces the real possibility of spending the rest of his life in prison the judge says he is requiring a $10 million unsecured bond because manafort is a substantial flight risk. manafort is facing tax evasion and bank fraud charges. he is wearing two ankle bracelets and is confined to his home. we are approachi

if the democrats, if your party does have a big night in november and does take back the house, that would put you in line to be the chairman of the house intelligenceemocratic speaker of the house. would you expect that in that circumstance you would reopen this investigation, that you would do it the way you think it ought to have been done in the first place? >> what i'd expect is that we will look at the work that's been done. if the work has been done by the senate intelligence committee or by special counsel bob mueller and we've done a full investigation, that may not be necessary. and if it hasn't, then we'll have to evaluate what work remains to be done to protect the country. one issue that concerns me, rachel, for example is that we were not allowed to investigate whether the leverage the russians have over this president is money laundering, whether the russians did here what they did elsewhere in laundering money through the trump organization. the senate is not investigating that either. i hope that refoobert mueller i. but should issues that like that expose the country to leverage or president of the united states not go investigated

democrats, erin. on the house side, adam schiff, the top democrat on the house intelligence committee is calling for alexander nix to come before his committee. last year, nix did speak to the house intelligence committee via video conference. and members on the democratic side have complained that it was limited in scope and that there were members that were not actually present there and a lot of this information that has just come out is new to them. and they want to question him on it. but republicans on that committee have closed out the investigation, and just tonight, the republican who's running the russia investigation, mike conway, made very clear he does not plan to bring any cambridge analytica officials to the house intelligence committee and said that's going to be a decision for devin nunes, the republican chairman of the committee, who's moving into other areas. you are hearing some calls from the senate side, the bipartisan calls, for at least some hearings into this matter, bringing in mark zuckerberg and others from these tech companies to talk to that and to explain exactly what happened h

republicans who control the house intelligence committee say they are shutting it down and issuing a report which committee democrats have yet to see. it is to say the least white house-friendly on allegations of trump campaign collusion, even on the underlying question the u.s. intelligence community answered more than a year ago. did russians meld in the 2016 election? if so, on whose orders and to whose benefit? again, keeping them honest, america's top intelligence professionals have had no doubt on this for more than a year. just moments ago, reaffirmed it to cnn's jim sciutto. here's a passage from a report issued by the director of the office of national intelligence back in january 2017. i want to read this word for word because it tends to get lost in all the claims and allegations and partisan politics. quote, we assess russian president vladimir putin ordered an influenced campaign in 2016 aimed at the u.s. presidential election. russia's goals were to undermine public faith in the u.s. democratic process, den i grate secretary clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency. we further assess

it shows the fundamental -- >> you've been listening to house intelligence committee ranking member adam schiff, lead democratat we believe just happened is that the republicans on the house intelligence committee voted to release their report, their report which says they found no collusion in their russia investigation, that report which also seems to say they don't believe the russians favored donald trump. republicans on the committee, we think, voted to make that report public and won't happen anytime soon. this effectively ends, once and for all, the house intelligence committee investigation and the ranking democrat on the committee doesn't like that one bit. we'll have much more on that in just a moment. >>> then, just moments ago, the house also holding votes on the big spending bill. we'll be right back. mother...nature! sure smells amazing... even in accounts receivable. gain botanicals laundry detergent. bring the smell of nature wherever you are. directv gives you more for your thing. your top-rated thing. that five stars, two thumbs up, 12-out-of-10, would recommend thing. because if you only wa

democratic colleagues think it's premature. one congressman said we are being shut off. >> i'm not sure i believe anything that came out of the house intelligencettee. the democrats are going to hate it and the republicans are going to love it. depending on what they come out with. it would be hard to say whatever document comes out from either party is accurate. a lot of the investigation has been kicked over to the special counsel or the doj inspector general. we are going to get a better picture out of those investigations than we will in the committee. they haven't turned into investigations. they have turned into campaigns from both parties and made a mess from the responsibilities. they should close it down. let the investigations happen and when they are announced as to the credibility. >> i have to ask you about this nunberg thing. adam schiff is saying the panel needs to interview. do you think he's a difference here? could he possibly cause this investigation to go on a bit longer than what republicans may have wanted it to? >> he may have certainly caused that, but i saw something different. the former fbi guy if erin burnett is righ

democrats. joining me is joaquin castro of the house intelligence committee. jennifer rodgers former assistant u.s. attorney, mieke eoyang and ken delay, an investigative report were msnbc. let me start with the congressman. congressman, this is devastating. the republicans on this disreputable majority on your committee who raced out this draft report which basically whitewashes everything. says the russians weren't trying to help trump, did nothing in terms of the election, totally clean as a whistle and whizzed it right past you guys. >> yeah. this is a stunning debev trail of the american people and the public trust. this was a case of the majority on the committee basically burying their heads in the sand. it was a -- believe whatever they tell us investigation. chris, this was the equivalent of bringing in a suspect, asking them whether they started the fire or not. they said no, i didn't start it. and then you say oh, well, great. everybody can go home. that's basically what happened. >> they didn't even bring in the suspect. >> not the main one, no. >>

the house intelligence committee's investigation into possible trump campaign collusion with russia is nearing an end. it's a move that's sure to infuriate the democraticigence committee who say there is a lot more work to be done. let's go to senior congressional correspondent manu raju. a significant moment. what have you learned? >> reporter: we expect them to announce they are done interviewing witnesses as part of the russia investigation that's gone on for more than a year. the house intelligence committee is riddled with part stan strife almost from the beginning. the role of the chairman over the memos that came out this year and witness interviews that have taken place. democrats have contended that not enough interviews have been conducted, not enough witnesses have produced documents and there have not been enough subpoenas issued for a range of documents from the democratic perspective. but republicans say it's gone on long enough. they believe they have come to consensus that there was no collusion between trump associates and russian officials as part of the 2016 elections. expect we get into the writing phase of the investigation now. tw

joining us now is that top democrat on the house intelligence committee, adam schiff.sman, thanks for being here on a busy evening. >> good to be with you. >> let me get your reaction to the latest round of churn at the top level of the administration. >> i think john bolton is a bad choice. this is someone likely to exaggerate the dangerous impulses of the president towards belligerence, his proclivity to act without thinking and his love of conspiracy theories. i'll just add one data point to what you were talking about earlier, john bolton once suggested on fox news, that the russian hack of the dnc was a false flag operation that had been conducted by the obama administration. so you add that kind of thinking to joseph digenova, and you have another big dose of unreality in the white house. so the bolton appointment scares me on iran, north korea, on this conspiracy theory thinking about the president. but the firing of dowd ought to alarm all of us because it's yet another signal that he intends to have a much more aggressive approach to bob mueller and i think we
