was never a suspicion of wrongdoing on my part and all i did was cooperate and the fbi said that yesterday, but the wrongdoing here, jimas being leaked out is the time that i was working on impeachment on the house intelligence and judiciary committees. if this is a country where people who criticize the president are going to have law enforcement information weaponized against them, that's not a country that any of us want to live in. i hope it is investigated as to who leaked this information. >> these operations are designed to build relationships but also possibly to get sensitive information. are you concerned that you shared any information with this person before you were notified by the fbi? >> well, i know that i didn't. again, i can't talk too much about the details of the case even though others may have violated their oath i'm not going to violate mine but the axios story made it clear that no information was ever shared except, jim, the people who did share classified information were the people who leaked this story. to do that against a critic of the president they may think they're going to silence me.

areas of national security especially when it comes to getting cooperation from the outgoing administration. what did he say? >> that's right, jim. biden was first briefed by his agency review teams and then expressed real concern and frustration basically these teams are not getting what they need. remember this official transition process was already delayed because of the gsa would not offer the official ascertainment for a number of weeks. and biden today basically saying this has been a mixed bag. there are some parts of government where the cooperation has been full and we have received everything that we need. and then there are other parts of government where there has actually been obstruction. here's what he said. >> for some agencies our teams see exemplary cooperation from the cull rear staff and agencies. from others most notably the department of defense we encountered obstruction from the political leadership of that department. and the truth is many of the agencies that are critical to our security have incurred enormous damage. many of them have been hollowed out in personnel, capacity and in morale. >> reporter

telling us is that the lack of cooperation from the trump administration now could have serious national security implications that extend into the biden presidency and, jim, as for those transition meetings between the d.o.d. and biden transition team, we are learning that there are now three of those meetings scheduled for some time this week, two of them will be about covid-19 we are told, one of them will be about cyber security, though i have to say it's hard to believe that the biden transition team thinks that this is nearly enough. jim. >> i doubt it. m.j. lee. >> stand by. we want to get all of the breaking news from our panel. stay with us. robinhood believes now is the time to do money. without the commission fees. so, you can start investing today wherever you are - even hanging with your dog. so, what are you waiting for? download now and get your first stock on us. robinhood. - [narrator] grubhub on the food you love!

tells cnbc, quote, the idea that this was a secret deal is just wrong jim, we sort of got the sense there would be this kind of cooperation when texas announced the suit last week. >> yeah. i know facebook is out there saying that what they did is certainly not equal to what the attorneys general are saying, but, you know, when you look at the google, i don't know if you got a chance to look at the google -- the rebuttal to the government, it is almost as if they're saying to the government, are you kidding me my favorite line, there is absolutely -- we deny, we deny, we deny, we deny, we deny, you get to this page, and it says, this is amazing, david, how reveltory this is, they deny and then google admits it sometimes sells ads. google denies any remaining allegations. well, there you go i mean, there you go, right? >> i don't know how to read it it is funny. it originated from texas, after they sued to try to overturn the election but it has been joined by a number of states ais you said. but the doj's complaint, one that we will continue to focus on did not contain this allegation so i think that does bear mentioning

jim and keep that countdown going until midnight. >> i'm starting to think that cops really don't want us to come to times square. >>> anderson coopers new year's eve live from times square, begins at 8:00 p.m. tonight. some of the special guests include mariah carey, snoop dog, pitbull and jimmy buffet. and new day continues right now. >> announcer: this is "new day" with alisyn camerota and john berman. >>> okay. good morning, everyone. welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. this is "new day." john berman is off, jim sciutto is here. theres a big fireworks celebration just starting this minute in sydney. look at this. this is sydney harbor as australia rings in its new year's. >> damn those australians, they beat us to it. >> how did that happen? look at how spectacular it is. it really gives you goose bumps. >> it does. couldn't come soon enough on 2020. >> interestingly

absolutely true, jim, and what we learned from joe biden on monday is that the words he is using to describe the situation becoming increasingly serious. we learned also that this lack of cooperation that we are hearing about again and again and again extends not just from the department of defense, but also to the office of management and budget. and now joe biden is using words like obstruction, irresponsibility to describe what is going on in the relationship between the trump people and the biden transition. listen. >> for some agencies our team received exemplary cooperation. others we have received obstruction. we're not getting all of the information that we need from the outgoing administration. there it is nothing short, in my view were of irresponsibility. >> so biden made those remarks after getting a briefing from his agency review teams on the situation involving national security. and one of the things they say they're most concerned about is an enormous cyber attack being blamed on russia that has affected several federal u.s. agencies. we're going to have to watch to see if things change in the last 21 or 22 days before biden is expected to take office. also import
