by the way, it's a little ironic in that same interview with jake tapper, governor pence there said, associated press for reporting on the connection between clinton foundation donors and meetings with hillary clinton. so every candidate wants the media to, you know, to give a hard time to the other side. and i think the problem that trump has had in particular is that there has been so many inconsistencies, so many inaccuracies, so many exaggerations that the fact chi checkers and ample reporters out there have had ample material. but it is one of these people who will have their finger on the nuclear button, who will be managing the national economy, who will be leader of the free world, as we like to say. and i would rather have the focus on their words now than after they're elected and then it's a congressional investigation. >> and there's been a time between now and november 21st. that's the fuirst debate. talk about media exposure. this is going to be one of the biggest stages for either one of these candidates in a very long time. and it can serve one or both very well or it

i'm jake tapper. breaking news this morning.lling that the contents of hillary clinton's interview with the fbi -- those contents are headed to congress. it's not a transcript. there are notes taken by an fbi agent about the interview, both content and impressions of the interview. several republican lawmakers have requested them after james comey's testimony. this following news of disputes in the fbi of whether to release the information. congressman bacerra, again, this e-mail story, it's just not going away. >> we can talk about it. we can investigate it as much as we want. the professionals who are non-partisan investigated it. the fbi came to a conclusion. i suspect that what we'll find is congress, the republicans, will probably selectively leak certain portions of that. i suggest that we let the public see the entire set of notes if we're going to start to leak some of them because it's important for people to understand that the fbi did as thorough an investigation as possible on this. it's time to talk about job creati

he spoke exclusively with jake tapper yesterday. jake asked him, look, are you going to get behind your party's candidate. let's listen. >> there was a speech i made called two paths. you can either operate on the dark side of the street or you can operate in the light. i believe that america needs people to operate in the light. plain and simple. >> all right, he also said in that interview that really stood out to me, scottie, my actions speak louder than my words. i did not go to the convention in my home state and i have not endorsed him. your fellow trump supporter, kayleigh, said yes th this is a endorsement that trump really needs. >> it would be nice in ohio, a battleground states. there are other states we can win. hilary brought up new hampshire, mr. trump, that was one of his first major victories that no one expected him to have. if you have someone from the opposition, encouraging governor kasich to reject endorsement, that's what the opposition wants. so it works for -- >> can you still win? >> scottie -- >> you said sc

sources tell our own jake tapper the information won't be a transcript but rather notes from the fbiview. chris, what do we know about these notes and how it will be delivered to congress? >> reporter: well, fred, we know that these notes that were taken last month during clinton's three-hour interview with the fbi about her e-mail server and her handling of classified information as secretary of state. now, you asked why now, why are they doing it right now? the republican chairman of the house oversight committee, he asked them to turn over the entire file of clinton's e-mail use. james comey promised to cooperate. >> i'll commit to everything i can possibly give you under the law and to doing it as quickly as possible. >> once those notes hit capitol hill they'll ignite another round of political problems whether clinton should have faced criminal charges of her handling of classified information. he said there was no precedent to bring criminal charges. e-mails last week raised question about clinton foundation influence on secretary of state clinton. >> meantime, let's switch ge

he sat down for a fascinating one-on-one interview with our jake tapper. >> reporter: governor kasich, thanks so much for doing this. >> thanks for coming here. >> the last time i saw ywas at republican convention which you did not attend. it was the one convention where more people were less likely to vote for the nominee after the convention than were more likely. 51% said they were less likely to vote for donald trump after the convention and 36% said they were more likely. why do you think that is? >> well, you know, look. i think, jake, in america people, even though we have these enormous problems, i don't think people want to live in a world of anger. they want to believe there is a better tomorrow. i got the sense that there was sort of a foreboding out there, and i don't think that's where people want to be. i didn't go because i don't want -- i think it's about manners. if i wasn't prepared to go there and get up and endorse a nominee, i thought it was inappropriate to go to the convention hall. here's something, jake, that's really true. people want politicians to stand on

here's what he told cnn's jake tapper in this exclusive interview. >> you talked about the inner cities. there was a tragedy in chicago on friday, nykea aldridge, the cousin of nba star dwyane wade was shot and killed while pushing her infant child in a stroller. trump's reaction was this tweet, dwyane wade's cousin was just shot and killed while walking her baby in chicago. just what i have said, african-americans will vote trump. that initial tweet, do you think that was a presidential reaction to a tragedy? >> well, right after that, he issued his -- a tweet expressing his prayers and his thoughts and his condolences -- >> but this is a pattern. when there's a tragedy, with he sends a tweet talking about how this is going to help his campaign. >> well, look, can i just make the point. a lot of you people in the media spend more time talking about what donald trump said and tweeted in the last three days than you do focusing on what the clintons have been up to for the last 30 years. so let me just stipulate to that. on this, look, donald trump has a plainspoken away about him. and th

you couldn't have a more clear choice. >> mike pence speaking there to cnn's jake tapper. despite the claim that trump is remaining consistent on immigration, republican national committee chairman reince priebus said sunday that trump is reflecting on his position. >>> turning to another big story we're watching. the revolutionary armed forces of columbia, better known as farc have announced a permanent cease-fire beginning on monday. they agreed to a piece deal with columbian officials. it would end the 52-year conflict with the government. it still must be approved by a majority of columbians in a referendum on october 2nd. well, brazil's embattled president takes the floor on monday to present her defense to the country's senate against impeachment charges. she was suspended in may on allegations of corruption and mismanagement of brazil's finances. she says she has done nothing wrong. a bearier has been constructed outside congress to prevent clashes between pro and anti-impeachment protesters. cnn shasta darlington has the latest from brazilia. >>> the suspended pres

but as jake tapper -- jake tapper does the fact check. >> it's jake tapper from cnn's "state of the unionorg. she was confronted with comments she made on the campaign trail repeatedly telling the american people she had never sent or received any classified material on her private e-mail server. >> after a long investigation, fbi director james comey said none of those things that you told the american public were true. >> chris, that's not what i heard director comey say and i thank you for giving me the opportunity to, in my view, clarify. director comey said my answers were truthful and what i said is consistent with what i told the american people, that there were decisions discussed and made to classify retroactively certain of the e-mails. >> is that true? did fbi director james comey testify that the repeated comments hillary clinton had made to the public about her private e-mail server, quote, were truthful? no. that is not true. according to her campaign aides, what hillary clinton was referring to was director comey testifying, quote, we have no basis to conclude she lied to t

he sat down, he spoke in a fascinating exclusive interview with our jake tapper about that and a lot more. >> paul manafort said you were embarrassing your state of ohio when you skipped the convention in cleveland. you talked about the pressure that you felt people telling you that you needed to go and you needed to endorse. were there back channel efforts to get you to come to the convention? >> no, not really -- >> who put the pressure on you? >> no, no, people would call who were longtime friends and say you need to do this, well, they would do a couple of things saying you need to support the party. and secondly don't give the impression you're a clinton supporter. that's just kind of this thing. well, let me be clear. i'm not, i see four years of gridlock with her, total gridlock and meltdown and economics. okay, so that is one thing. >> what do you see now? >> well, i see gridlock there too. >> were you surprised when donald trump declined to endorse speaker ryan, senator mccain and senator ayotte? >> well, yeah, i thought it was a little bizarre. >> your nominee for president

he told jake tapper in may that he was not ready to endorse donald trump. and it flared up that and indirectly took issue with donald trump's issues saying that muslim americans serve this issue. it was at this event where donald trump tweeted that he appreciates the kind words coming from paul neeland. so one week before the primary, he seems he is throwing his support behind the channeler to paul ryan. >> that primary as you say, one week from today, next tuesday, and out of the blue, donald trump is suggesting maybe he will not meet with him. >> that was a big win. he said very good things about mike pence, it seems the controversy is not over. he went after republicans as well. john mccain, back in 2008, he didn't mince many words, he is faces a tough reelection himself. >> this controversy seems to have brought this to where john mccain just recently yesterday sharply criticized him saying it did not reflect what the beliefs are for those in the republican party. here is what donald trump says about john mccain. he says i have never been there with joh
