. >> i'm from senator joe moran's office and i was wondering yet in the history of russia chinese military industrial cooperation, what do you expect to see going forward between the two states whether it's more industrial cooperation or maybe more a strategic, i know they have a history of military exercises but do we expect that to increase in the next few years? >>. >> there has been a very recent update in terms of their military cooperation because they have greater online interests now. in terms of the deployment about a missile defense capabilities . there is a growing tension in the defense industrial relationship, china is increasingly exporting military equipment and they're coming into very slightly coming into russia's market so how have you balanced this moving forward? they had shown the ability to coordinate and work together well in the road initiative in central asia, so if anyone can work this out, i think those two have shown significant deference to one another work large issues. >>. >> i was going to ask if you could talk about russia's reliance on space you cannot mil

the white house then said when asked if former president obama and vice president joe biden could be next. abc's terry moran leading us off from the white house. >> reporter: an unprecedented threat from the white house podium, press secretary sarah sanders reading from a prepared statement, announcing that president trump was preparing to strip security clearances from some of the fiercest critics of his approach to russia. >> the fact that people with security clearances are making these baseless charges provides inappropriate legitimacy to accusations with zero evidence. >> reporter: sanders mentioned six high-ranking former national security officials, including former fbi director james comey, former obama national security adviser susan rice and former cia chief john brennan, who blasted trump's press conference with vladimir putin. >> i use the term that this was nothing short of treasonous, because it is a betrayal of the nation. he's giving aid and comfort to the enemy and it needs to stop. >> reporter: brennan has even seemed to hint darkly that he knows secrets harmful to trump, tweeting in march

moran, live at the supreme court tonight. and terry, the future of the court, we cannot understate here. i want to go back to the three democratic senators you reported on, joe donnelly, heidi hite camp, joe manchin, they're all up for re-election in november in states that voted for president trump. they vot yes on neil gorsuch, but tremendous pressure on them now. do they stay with their party, the democrats, do they risk their own seat here? >> reporter: that's it, david. they're getting it coming and going. tonight, for example, the white house reached out to these vulnerable red state democrats and invited them to the primetime announcement, they each declined. it's one thing to vote for neil gorsuch, a conservative replacing conservative antonin scalia, it's another thing altogether to vote for a swing justice who could overturn roe versus wade. >> for folks at home, it's not just the three democrats, there's two republicans being watched. senators susan collins of maine, lisa murkowski of alaska, both moderates. and terry, they'll be crucial votes here, particularly on the issue of a woman's right to choose, as we just heard from senator collins. >> r
