in 2019 attorney general barr and john durham went to italy and met with italian officials. w york times report that says italian officials gave durham and bar credible evidence of suspicious financial activity by donald trump. that does not appear anywhere in the durham report. there is no evidence that john durham looked into that and i think the democrats will want to know whatever happened to that. after the democrats ask that question they will ask some standard questions about the fbi but they have never taken this probe seriously, and i don't expect a lot of serious questions from them. host: any comments made by the heads of the committee after they're closed the door with durham yesterday -- their closed-door with durham yesterday? guest: if you are republican, you want the soundbite that will go on fox news. if you're a democrat, you want the soundbite that will owe on msnbc. -- will go on msnbc. host: this hearing begins 91 minutes from -- begins 19 minutes from now. you can watch it on c-span3 live and on the c-span video app. jeff is helping us preview it. we hav

john durham is a good man. he is hard-working.but i believe absolutely that john durham was hamstrung by the department of justice. i think at every angle that he probably wanted to pursue it was both the optic of appointing a special counsel that provided some semblance of hope to the right, but it was also the trap that doj could use to confine the nature of the investigation and the aggression of the investigation. laura, think about when doj wants to be aggressive. we see them be aggressive when they want to and when it's classified documents in the possession of a former president, they can be very aggressive. if its hunter biden, they can delay. if it's special counsel john durham, and i don't believe it was the investigation that he truly wanted to run. i think what you saw was an investigation that was outlined for him that this was the way it was going to go down. >> i have to take issue with something you are saying. he had the ability to say that. i know he has a mandate. however, we saw it with other cases, the petitio

>> reporter: well, kate, we're getting a double dose on john durham on capitol hill this week.ors with both the top democrat and the top republican emerging with concerns about how the fbi handled things during the russia investigation and the belief that things could be done better in the future. listen to the top republican on the house intel committee after meeting with john durham behind closed doors yesterday. >> the issue here is not just politicization, the issue here is these were presidential political campaigns and so that's what has such a higher degree of standard of concern because it can affect political and electoral outcomes and that's why our conversations were so important. >> reporter: now, i think that what we are going to see today and what we are already seeing today before the house judiciary committee is a much more partisan take on john durham's report as well as other ongoing investigations. we already heard from jim jordan who is the chair of the house judiciary committee talking about mar-a-lago, the search of the former president's home there, we al

lawmakers are meeting to discuss recommendation from special council john durham after his very eye opening testimony on fbi failures in the trump russia probe. >> lucas tomlin sson is live in washington. hey, lucas. >> mr. durham, did the government receive a plan to they had tried the plan to rush hawaii >> yes. >> was that intelligence important enough for director brennan to go brief the president of the united states, the vice president of the united states, attorney general of the united states and director of the fbi? >> yes .x was that then put into a memorandum. a referral memorandum? >> yes. >> then given director comey and agent struck. >> that's who it was addressed to, yes. >> adam schiff kicked off the intelligence committee by house speaker kevin mccarthy fired back at other democrats doing it as well. >> don jr. was informed that a russian official was offering the trump-appointed campaign "very high level and sensitive information". >> people get phone calls all the time from individuals who claim to have information like that . >> the son of presidential candidates gets ca

and john durham tried to stick within his report.to take steps to interview certain witnesses and failed to bring forth some evidence. here is what he had to say as the many hours of hearing were winding down today, jake. >> i don't think that things could go too much further with the few that law enforcement particularly the fbi and department of justice runs a two-tiered system of justice, the nation can't stand under those circumstances. >> reporter: now durham stood by his recorder report and their actions in opening this full blown investigation. obviously this was welcome news to the republicans on the panel while democrats were fiercely critical of durham saying that he failed to properly look into the possible collusion between trump campaign and russians and also pointing out that he got one minor conviction and two pretty embarrassing acquittals when it came to court. take a listen to what the top republican and democrat had to say today. >> after two and a half years of mueller investigation, 19 lawyers and 40 agents and $

john durham will speak before congress about his findings. what to expect.hat's next. >>> really is just a slap on the wrist and it came a week after the indictment of donald trump over the documents. for years now the fbi and the doj have known about other crimes potentially committed by hunter biden, other biden family members, and today i have more questions than i have answers. a lot of people get smacked with a gun charge, they don't get a walk away like hunter biden. there is more to the story i believe than meets the eye. >> that's not entirely accurate. we will dig into all of this. that was republican congresswoman nancy mace here on "cnn this morning" last hour sounding off on hunter biden's deal with the justice department. he will plead guilty to federal tax charges and made a deal on a felony gun charge. it is expected he will avoid prison time. mace is one of many republicans who are saying this doesn't pass muster in their mind. >> if you were the president's leading political opponent, doj tries to literally put you in jail and give you priso

but what struck me about the hearings with john durham was the irony and the lack of self awareness ofm, interrupting him repeatedly and acting self r righteous about disinformation, misinformation when he spent year seeking out any available camera so he could stand there and essentially tell lies about the russia collusion story and there's no sense of, yeah, i did that, i'm sorry, i'm oembarrassed. nowes censured and he seemed to be proud of it. maria: i want to get back to the bias in the fbi but the reaction from democrats to this, the house voted to censure adam schiff for president trump's campaign colluding with russia which he kept saying over and over and over again. here's kevin kevin mccarthy leg that proceeding. >> the reso res -- resolution adopted. the house will be order. maria: you've got the democrats yelling shame at the speaker of the house for the censor of adam schiff. we've got to vote these people out. they are like clowns. i mean, it doesn't matter what side you're on. democrat or republican, independent, wherever you are. we all know this was a made a-up story

we have heard a lot from john durham today about his concerns about how the russia investigation, and opening of the russian investigation was handled. the big take away is, this should not have been a full- blown investigation. he is trying to drive home that point in his testimony today. as you might expect from house judiciary hearing, held with a bunch of cameras, there is a lot of playing politics going on. democrats are basically saying that durham worked to keep donald trump's talking points alive. they are accusing republicans of trying to distract from donald trump's indictment. we heard from judiciary chair, jim jordan, basically saying, yes concerns about how the fbi continues to handle investigations, including how the fbi handled the search of donald trump's home in mar-a- lago. there was also an interesting moment, where john durham was essentially asked, if you wanted to defend the attorney general who appointed him, bill barr, take a listen. >> mr. trump has called mr. barr a good list. am a coward, and a rhino. which of those is correct, which is it? >> in my experien

both sides gearing up to job that john durham in person since the report was released last month. >>nsel. zachary cohen, thank you so much. brianna. >>> a trial date is now initially set for former president trump's classified documents ace. judge aileen cannon has proposed beginning the federal court trial in august. but as court proceedings get move so too are trump's explanations for why he held on to classified documents. just last night he said this in an interview with bret baier on fox. >> why not just hand it over to them? >> because i had the boxes i wanted to get through the boxes and get my personal things i didn't want to hand that over to mara yet. i was very busy. >> that is just the latest of many different documents that trump has said failing to turn over the documents to the federal government. last month, at his mar-a-lago, he suggested the fbi made him plant the materials on his property. around that time, he said he declassified everything he took from the white house when he left and he could do that just by thinking it. >> >> you're the president of the united

>> look, unsurprisingly, we are seeing john durham stick to the fundamentals of his report and standthat there never should have been a full-blown investigation into the trump campaign in 2016. take a look at how john durham was talking about his findings today. >> as we said in the report, our findings were sobering and having spent 40 years plus as a federal prosecutor, they are particularly sobering to me and a number of my colleagues who spent decades in the fbi themselves, they were sobering. >> now, of course, the lawmakers on the committee are not just focused on the report. they are also focused on the politics of all of this. we heard from democrats questioning john durham essentially drawing attention to donald trump's indict ams and throwing dog whistles to the far right. we also heard from jim sdwrord an who is continuing to raise concerns about the conduct of the fbi. he's been involved in this large-scale investigation into what he calls the weaponization of the federal government and so he's using this hearing to sort of drive home this points that there are still issu

john durham will be on the hill. what john durham concluded among many other things is that when he was told that hillary clinton in 2016 was going to put this story out there connecting trump and russia to sort of cover up for her email issue and the scandal happening along that campaign, that john brennan, head of the f.b.i. at the time, went directly to barack obama and joe biden, c.i.a., i'm sorry, and informed them of what was happening there. he noted the lack of curiosity. john durham will be in the headlines for the next day and a half. the f.b.i. just now preempted his appearance came out with a statement. the conduct in 2016 and 2017 that special counsel durham examined why leadership has taken corrective action. had they been in place in 2016 the missteps identified in the report could have been prevented. one more line. this report reinforces the importance of -- the f.b.i. now is getting ahead of what will be a very public story that john durham is about to tell the american people and congress. >> which

john durham was the man who republicans that hope would expose some kind of nefarious plot within theent to attack donald trump. republicans that hope that durham would prove the robert mueller investigation into russian interference in the 2016 election was, in their words, a big hoax. but john durham did not do any of those things. and after a four-year-long investigation into failed prosecutions, john durham's final report amounted to a little more than a few process criticisms about the fbi's investigation, and one guilty plea with no jail time. today's hearing this was be a victory lap to republicans, but instead it ended up being an opportunity for democrats to highlight the findings of the very investigation that john durham was supposed to discredit. here's congressman adam schiff in one of those exchanges. >> the russians released stolen emails through cutouts, did they not? >> there were emails -- >> it's a very simple question. did they release information, stolen information, to the penthouse? >> i'm not sure -- >> you really don't know the answer to that? the answer is ye

they didn't have that in john durham. well , democrats always seemthei to line up their people, don't they, with peoplpeoplee likeh. jack smith. and i guess mueller was kind of deficient in a way. bui guesas defict, man, i mean,o you can't make this up. u can'thank you.importan your perspective tonight really important. now, men get intimateget with artificial intelligence. one drunk disney cruisintiitheeu and adele gets rocky balboa in a house sale. raymond arroyois has it all seen and unseen as next. >> i knew this country was in trouble when i went to a bank and the guards like, here's my sir, you're in a bank. you have to a mask. this was going to be a deposit . now it's a robbery. we're all in this together. men can have babies. i don't care what they say. i feel. >> take some metamucil. this problem's going to work its way out. a woman is someone who gets mad at you for something. he did three years ago. i want a pilot who says we're going down in three languages and he gave me coleman. coleman and china. and joe wa

what are your own views on the john durham finding? and do you think that we've got to somehow have a national reset of some of these big institutions or? well, i think just the convictions that special counselor molar obtained based on his investigation and the following report of the inspector general, the department of justice, are more reliable than the findings of mister durham who was appointed by trauma in all the heat of this effort to discredit bestbuy investigation into a trunk rusher connection that has repeatedly been proven. so i would but that kind of the brain of saw and i look at barre chords more generally and say both of woman who had been assaulted into famed by a former president. got her day in court and won $5000000.00. a company that made the election machines was the fame to buy and the biggest uh, network in the country. and went to court and got a massive judgement against a settlement ultimately. and the family of the children who were murder and understand new york were treated just abominably by this creepy

let me understand the testimony of john durham today. they never corroborated a single thing in hillary's dirty dossier. but they used it to get four try and five applications approves. andrew mccabe said without the dossier they never would have gotten any of them approved. and then of course there was no reason at all to even open operation crossfire hurricane. and then we had- >> never corroborated anything ever in the dossier. hoping the investigation without probable cause. i think the most compelling thing that happened was in the summer of 2016 our government gets intelligence that says this all was a made up story from the clinton campaign. she approved to take the pressure off of her e-mail scandal. that is so credible that john brennan briefed president biden and director comey and then he puts it into a memo called a referral memorandum. that memo was given to comey and peter strzok. they failed to take it to the fisa court. they failed to show it to the lawyers putting together that fisa application and worse yet they don't g

. >> that was the special counsel john durham testifying on capitol hill today. he was a man they hoped would expose some nefarious plot in the justice department. republicans had hoped durham would prove it was in their words a big hoax. john durham did not do any of those things after a four-yearlong investigation and two failed prosecutions, john durham's final report now a little more than a few process criticisms about the fbi's investigation and one guilty plea with no jail time. today's hearing was supposed to be a victory lap for republicans but instead ended up being an opportunity for democrats to highlight the very findings of the investigation john durham was supposed to describe it. here's adam schiff. >> they released stolen e-mails through cut outs, did they not? did they release information, information through cut outs. the answer is yes they did. more important than mine, mueller's answer was yes. that information was helpful to the trump campaign, wasn't it? >> i don't think there's any question that the russians intruded into -- >> i just want

what are we watching in terms of democrats putting pressure on john durham? >> they are trying to point out where there are holes in his report. they are using sources like the former inspector general's report and several of them early on saw where the democrats were trying to -- they were trying to confuse russian interference with american elections with the idea there was collusion between the trump campaign and russian government. it is clear there wasn't. every report found their re there wasn't. >> harris: where are they getting that from? >> they are trying to confuse the american people. the dishonesty on the left particularly today and their messaging. they want to drive home a message and you heard a lot especially early on from former chairman nadler, now ranking member, about the trump indictment which is not even part of john durham's scope at all. >> harris: he brought it up. the reason we're here today is the 37 count indictment. i said did he not read the syllabus on the hearing? >> the reason we're here today i thought jordan did a good job,

>> well, we are going to do the reverse and turned the truth right back upwards and talk about john durham. because we saw during his hearing. yet i want to share what donald trump said about the report. >> the big report to wait for is going to be the durham report. that's the one that people are really waiting for. >> as you know, the big one that's going to come out as the durham report. >> bull durham's report, that's the one i look forward to. >> mr. durham, we've been waiting. >> perhaps they're gonna come out with a lot more. >> as the durham report, which just came out proves, they spied on my campaign. think about it. >> for facts's sake, the durham report came out, and it proved no such thing. luke, why do republicans come back to this, especially now? i mean, that hearing today had to be humiliating. >> yes, sometimes commenting on capitol hill these days it feels like you're back in 2016 or 17, hearing all these names, carter page, people we haven't talked about for years. but yes, so, today, you know, adam schiff is censured over things that happened a couple of congresses ago

hosting the former special counsel john durham on capitol hill to about the deep state conspiracy theory that durham failed to uncover. members of the party are forcing a vote of impeachment resolution against the president. meanwhile, joe biden is going around the country and touting his record, talking about clean energy in california, business, governing. the thing about that is that the politics of making actual policy is not always a winner. new polling from the paris surge centered says that things are not looking great for the current president. job approval rating is 35%, despite significant some improvements in a bunch of different areas, from inflation, to violent crime. jen psaki, former white house press secretary for secretary -- noting inside with jim psaki on msnbc. she joins me. jen, i want to start of the politics on all of this sort of scandal monger-ing, and censuring adam schiff. the john durham hearing will talk about -- impeachment in a second. i talked about 2017, 2018, we hear all of this network and other places very focused on the investigations of donald trump.

you've got former special counsel john durham testifying on capitol hill yesterday. his report into the trump russia collusion lie that was made up by his political opponent, hillary clinton. here's durham. watch. >> there were investigative activities undertaken or not undertaken here which raised real concerns about whether or not the law was followed and there appear to be people, persons in the fbi who were central to opening the investigation that had rather strong views concerning then candidate trump. maria: so as we expected, it was all based on the fbi's bias against trump. we're feeling it again right now where the fbi is holding back important information to the house oversight committee about joe biden influence peddling. what are you going to do about it? >> first of all, via 9-year-old son so my 9-year-old son said he will not lobby me. the only thing will lobby me for is a puppy. the american people can feel comfortable there. we are at an all time low in terms of confidence we should be having in our institutions. for a democracy to be successful, for

so john durham testimony is going to be fascinating. doors is going to be even more interesting but as we hear from john durham, i think we should listen very carefully as to whether he puts any color on his decision not to prosecute any further individuals. there's several individuals i think were mentioned in his report that i'm sure he considered prosecuting and it would be interesting to know why he didn't think he hit the threshold on those in order to bring charges. cheryl: i listened to your commentary already when it comes to the classified documents case but there's obviously -- i'm going to say misguided situation here with alvin bragg and the former president and then you've got this case now in florida but then you've also got georgia and possibly january 6th. when it comes to things that the former president either is or could be facing. from a political standpoint, if you look at the polls, he's above 50% in the race to be the next president. >> yeah. and i think the polls are probably going to stay there no matter whether

and going to talk about john durham today. because we saw him during his hearing. yet i want to share what donald trump said about the report. >> the big report to wait for is going to be the durham report. that's the one people are waiting for. and you know the one that's gonna come out as the durham report. durham's reports. that's the one i look forward to. mr. durham we have been waiting. perhaps they're gonna come out with a lot more. as the durham report just came out, they spied on my campaign. think about it. >> fairfax sake. the durham report came out and it proved no such thing. why did republicans come back to this? especially now? that hearing today had to have been humiliating. >> sometimes covering capitol hill these days, you feel back in 2016 or something. hearing these names carter page and people that we have not talked about for years. but yes, so, today adam schiff is centered over things that happened a couple of congress ago. and we have john durham on capitol hill testifying about his report into the investigations from several congress ago. i

at the same time, what i think john durham will also focus on is the fact that when i declassified the intelligence from john brennan's notes where he briefed president obama and vice president biden and national security team about the fact the russia collusion came from the hillary clinton campaign, the fact that the f.b.i., jim comey, peter struts, they concealed it and obstructed it from the public view. so i think those are things you'll hear focused on in greater detail by republicans today. >> bill: well done. thank you for your time. jim jordan, chairman of this committee began his opening remarks as we stand for the pledge of allegiance and we will have an opportunity to hear from a man who frank life a lot of americans could not even identify him or his voice. >> dana: a moment ago you got a video and photograph of him smiling, which i don't think we've seen, here we go underway with jordan gaveling this hearing. >> opening statement. three years ago and 11 months, july 24, 2019, bob mueller sat in this room in that chair and told this committee no collusion, no conspiracy, n

>> our committee received testimony from john durham concerning his report on misconduct at the fbi. we did so as a committee on a bipartisan basis, there was a great camaraderie among our members, trying to find answers to if there is misconduct, what are the solutions, what are the reforms? it was interesting to hear from mr. durham that he has concerns there are forms that need to go into place and there are issues that need to be addressed. he was forthcoming and sharing with us, we were able to get some information that would be helpful for us in the work we have to do on both pfizer renewal, pfizer reforms and form issues with the fbi. we have approached this together on the issue of what are the next steps, and i think he has been a great partner. >> i concur with everything the chairman said, we had a very detailed. -- fairly fleet -- special counsel durham's report. >> our sessions are closed so we are not permitted to tell specific questions that occurred. we can tell you our impression. both the members of mr. durham the committee and mr. durham mr. durham embrace the deta

that's what john durham found. it is a serious problem.t we heard yesterday from democrats was just more demagoguery, none of them interested in asking the question is how we can prevent this from happening again. imagine the scenario where it was a republican administration investigating an incoming democratic administration. are they at all concerned about that? they certainly didn't sound like it this time around. that to me also says something about the degree to which they are confident the f.b.i. and the d.o.j. are on their side. >> harris: that is so interesting. democrats would be appear leap particular on the other side of this. you mentioned baseless in terms of opening an investigation. how about dishonest? how about lies and manipulation? chaos broke out on the house floor yesterday after a vote to censure democrat representative adam schiff for all of his trump/russia claims. >> the house of representatives sen shares adam schiff, representative of the 30th congressional district of california. for misleading the american publ

this was a brutally long hearing for john durham. five hours long. to tell you, he kept his cool, held his ground as the democrats lined up to attack him. this report portraying him as an incredible and failed special counsel. now, he also stood firm as congressman adam schiff, as we know, the one that pushed the russia collusion theory, tried to pin durham down about former president trump son's meeting at trump tower in 2016. watch. >> you said that it's not uncommon to get offers of help from a hostile foreign government. a presidential campaign directed at the president's son. >> if you're asking me if i'd do it, it will not illegal. it was ill-advised. >> on the other side, republicans are using durham's findings to rip the fbi for not conducting essential interviews. >> when the fbi interviewed mr. doland what did they have to say. >> they didn't interview. >> they didn't interview him? buddies the clintons and source of the dossier and they didn't talk to him? >> no. >> martha, all of this is setting the stage for congress to tackle fisa and p

that's john durham at this point. i was actually more surprised by a counter theme to what you were just saying. there was a number of occasions in which he was refusing to be the guy the republicans wanted him to be. you know, he came there and he said, you know, this investigation was open because of this tip from this australian diplomat that suggested a trump campaign aide had advanced knowledge russia was going to dump out e-mails they had hacked, and that the fbi had a duty or obligation to investigate that. totally against the republican narrative it started because of the steele dossier or it should never have been opened. his report only accuses the fbi of confirmation bias. at one point one of the republican congressman was pushing him, kind of goading him to say that was really political bias, wasn't it? that was why they had to stop with permission bias and he wouldn't go there. outside this particular russia investigation issue towards the end of the hearing he offered a kind of stout defense of "the wash

republicans say look in the deep substance of this, and the first time we heard from john durham, hesaying the steele dossier was a fake, that the president of the united states, the vice president, the fbi director, cia director, national intelligence director all knew there was a plan by the clinton team and the democrats to try to tie donald trump to russia. they knew that ahead of time. the fbi moved forward with this investigation even though they knew that and they knew that the dossier was in question and had they known all of this, the court would not have granted what it granted. >> john: a lot of pointed statements from durham, including this one about the overall effect of this. >> the fact that these people made these findings as reflected in the report is of concern. and should be of concern to any american who cares about our civil liberties, the rule of law, and the just and proportionate applicationch of the law to all of us, whether friends or foes ought to ap aplay -- apply to everybody in the same way. >> john: and hillary clinton was treated one way, donald trump

this was a highly anticipated report from john durham after a four-year investigation. and now we're going to see durham testify before congress. as you mention today is the house intelligence committee. behind closed doors the chairman and ranking member of the intelligence committee, they're holding a press conference after the hearing later this afternoon, and then tomorrow is going to be that public hearing before the judiciary committee. so what to expect, one thing for sure is expect republicans to sort of pounce on this idea that federal law enforcement agencies are weaponized against former president trump and republicans. we saw a number of republican lawmakers air that argument after the durham report was released, so expect to hear more of that. and another interesting thing that caught my eye was that chairman mike turner, he's the chairman of the intelligence committee, this weekend he said that he expects john durham to offer his insights on changes that the panel should pursue after this investigation concluded and after durham wrote his report. in the act

attorney, john durham. these records were in response to american oversight request for doj communication, between offices of the attorney general. and durham, or his first assistant. i ask unanimous consent, places in the wreckage of this hearing. >> -- gentleman from california. >> mr. sherman, junior colleagues have continued its leaside to steve now you know transcribed interviews, using selected statements taken out of context. i used to unanimous consent, putting into the record, the american public and seaford self exactly what was said. >> >> we will work on that. we will work on that. we have to, we'll talk, we want to make that fully available. >> mister chairman, your objecting -- >> mister chairman, i object. >> okay. >> if i understand correctly mister chairman, you're happy to cite selective portion of the transcript out of context, but not happy to -- >> mr. chairman, is there further action, there's been an objection? >> you don't want the american public to see this? >> roll call vote please

into who the fbi is giving security clearances to and you say that the durham report proves that, john durham testifying on capitol hill later today. what do you mean by that? >> well, look, durham makes it very clear that the fbi failed its responsibility of strict fidelity to the law by pushing a bogus investigation for political reasons. now, what the letter that the american-first policy institute put forward is, there has to be accountability. who gets clearances, how can they be revoked? everybody involved in this fraudulent investigation, crossfire hurricane, the russia/trump collusion hoax, everyone involved in that should lose their security clearances. we want to know how are they allocated and how can they be pulled? >> todd: beyond just the security clearance aspect of this, let's face it, durham's going to be in a seat obviously we're not going to necessarily watch this because it's behind closed doors but what else should republicans press durham on? for instance, aim thinking, why were there not so many arrests in your own probe, mr. durham. >> no, that's a really good question

probably friday. >> sandra: special counsel john durham testifying this afternoon on the hill, a monthed his blistering review of how the fbi and doj never should have launched the trump russia investigation to begin with, and now the plea deal. raising more questions about bias in the justice system. kevin walling, and garrett ventry, and garrett, to you first on this, what questions does this raise for you? >> it certainly looks like there's no could incident in the politics here. we saw it last week with the indictment of president trump and coming out earlier that morning joe biden was allegedly involved in a bribery scheme. durham situation is concerning to the american people and both parties, doj and fbi did not live up to it, dossier orchestrated by hillary clinton's campaign. and seeing the same thing play out with the presidential records act and indictment from joe biden's doj hand picked counsel of donald trump, and hunter biden, putting his leading opponent in jail up to 400 years for something an obama appointed judge said he had everything to do and the clinton sock draw

cheryl: you mentioned this, i want to pick up on this, this is the john durham side.ial counsel john durham is set to testify by house judiciary. that's next week. you'll get a chance to question him about his investigation into the trump russia probe. what can we expect? what do you want to learn from this? >> i think we're going to more fully flesh out what is in the durham report because the american public largely does not know what's in there. they know it's out there. and i think it's important that we question special counsel durham to find out more information and share it with the american public and as i said at the top, cheryl, it's important for us to lay the ground work for reform with the fbi. i mean, think about it. the fisa process, the foreign intelligence surveillance process was abused by the fbi. we need to decide are we going to continue to allow them to have the fisa process as it's currently written? is it reformable at this point? and those are some of the questions that i'm hoping that we ask and hopefully get answers for the american public b

special counsel john durham will testify before the house judiciary committee on his report looking intohe fbi's investigation of an presidential candidate,'s alleged ties

that's the main takeaway from former special counsel john durham's report following his four-year revieworigins of the fbi's russia investigation. that discipline and how we investigate criminal matters. that was just absent here. durham told lawmakers on the house judiciary committee has report found confirmation bias caused the fbi to rush its investigation based on raw on analyzed and uncorroborated intelligence, key fbi leaders. >> all the way at the top. we're predisposed to go after. candidate trump. this bias likely affected the conduct of fbi personnel in this investigation. is that true? yes. >> republicans said the findings show the justice department plays politics. democrats will say. we don't care. it doesn't matter. we're never still going to stop going after president trump. republicans will do anything say anything is spent any amount of money to hide the basic truth that their leader is a criminal corrupt. >> narcissistic democrats argued the justice department allow durham to do his job. you have all the power in the world indict anyone that you had evidence to indict.
