kacie. let me start with you. i assume the best you have been able to observe is the people going in and out, do we have any clue what the tone as been in those hearings today? >> we're on he'sly stihonestly on it, chuck. most people are staying behind closed doors. this hearing is different from these interviews that were conducted before. you often didn't have that many members that were listening carefully to every single thing. it would large i will be staff. we could identify a couple members that became some of our better sources because they would go in every single time, and there is only a handful of them. obviously interest is bigger than that. congress has changed and adam schiff is now the chairman of the committee, and obviously for the details they're able to -- the topics they're able to cover a much wider breadth. there is so much more about russia that is still on the table. in this kind of a setting. we learned things yesterday that they want today follow up on, chevy spoke after the oversight he

michael cohen is meeting behind doors, kacie hunt has a glass to the door and she is trying to figureng on, kacie. >> if only we were even allowed to approach the door, but we're just trying as hard as we can to figure on what is going on behind the scenes. some of the things that adam schiff wanted to talk about would come up today. the cope of this intelligence testimony is broader than what we heard in public yesterday. they can ask detailed question about all things related to russia. which you did not hear a ton of yesterday. there was some things that michael cohen said in his written testimony that became fair game. beyond that it was focused on the trump organization, mr. trump himself, etc., et cetera, cetera. this is the beginning of the process. why is that? think about some of the tidbit that's we did learn at that hearing. we're not allowed to have cameras there but we can play a little about what he said with this information. >> are the people like allen. >> just follow the transcript. if there was names mentioned for records mentioned during the hearing, we want to tak

joining me with more on that is kacie hunt. this thing unrolled with some great speed in the last 24 hours. >> that's right it has, we went from these kweets to con them nation very quickly to con semination of her own caucus including the chairman of the judiciary committee and the entirety of the democratic leadership, so here is what omar released, she said anti-semitism is real and i'm glad for the colleagues educating me. i never intended to offend anyone, we have to step back and think through criticism, this is why i unequivocally apologize. at the same time i reaffirm the problem of politics, it has gone on too long and we must be willing to address it. specifically about the way in which she framed this. jerry nadler referred to this as a deeply disappointing use of troeps that refer to people and money. >> all right, i have a sense of this apology at the bottom she says i reaffirm the problematic role of lobbyists in our -- i assume after speaking with everyone that she has spoken that she issued an apology that will

kacie, thank you, alan gomez, thank you. sorry about my bipartisan horn. >> i'm sorry. >> don't apoeapologize. >> you know what that means? it means she likes it. >> another breaking story we're following. an nbc news exclusive. the senate intelligence committee's almost at the end of its investigation into the 2016 election. we're going to tell you what the committee's up covered after two years and 200 interviewings. >> first, you know it, we know it, it is black history month. that means it is time to celebrate nbc's blk recognizing black women who are providing leadership in their communities. today we want to acknowledge tiffany lofton, director of the naacp youth and college division. she brought more than 1,000 students to march for our lives last year. she's an advocate for gun control and the importance of black voices. >> i work with all folks who are under the age of 35. most recently, worked out clemency for this person. we use marches like this. >> they kill us. this is about all the young black men. >> every bl

. >> let me go down to kacie hunt there. that was -- that promoted it as if he would be taking questions and that was an in and out pretty quick i'm guessing they liked elijah cummings closing statement? >> it seems so. i think you could see michael cohen essentially crying where elijah cummings was talking about his experience. we expected -- we were told that he was planning to take questions from reporters following that appearance. they seem to have changed that calculation at the last second. but you know as you and your panel have been talking about, this is really as much as we did learn specific new details that are very important in driving all of this forward, this was also a very human day. one that really hinged on a credibility argument for republicans saying the man you just saw walk by our cameras is a liar, and that there is no reason why americans should trust him, and you know he essentially went in here with a demeanor that sort of said i am a humbled person that has decided to change my ways, and many of

joining me from new hampshire, nbc news correspondent kacie hunt, and from new york, steve kornacki. kacie, your very presence there is giving us reminders we'll all be sitting the trail soon for good, still 21 months out before the next general election. let me ask you about bernie sanders. in the first 3 1/2 hours after this announcement became public, his campaign was touting more than a million dollars in donations, most of them coming from small donors here. the bottom line is there's certainly still some energy among bernie's base, as it were, but circumstances are different as bernie sanders enters the race this time around, aren't they? >> they absolutely are, peter. but you are right. clearly there is a hardcore base of bernie supporters that are still willing to give him money. you know, that's been proven just in the first few hours of this. the question, though, is how many of those people that were going to bernie rallies back in 2016 -- and they were huge, i went to dozens of them -- how many of those people were true core bernie sanders supporters and how many were jus

cas kacie, panel, thank you for being here. up next parting is such sweet chalky sorrow.aderie. and you should be mad at tech that makes things worse. but you're not mad, because you have e*trade, who's tech makes life easier by automatically adding technical patterns on charts and helping you understand what they mean. don't get mad. get e*trade's simplified technical analysis. (door bell rings) it's ohey. this is amazing. with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, are you okay? even when i was there, i never knew when my symptoms would keep us apart. so i talked to my doctor about humira. i learned humira can help get, and keep uc under control when other medications haven't worked well enough. and it helps people achieve control that lasts. so you can experience few or no symptoms. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment,

nbc's geoff bennett at the white house and nbc's kacie hunt on the hill. do we know anymore about where the white house stands? way to fly in the face of what congressional republicans are doing, working through a deal and the president goes, i'm going to build that anyway. >> the latest is the president has not made a decision. at the same time, we're getting what you call encouraging signs from some colleagues on the hill. he says he hopes this compromise will be something that president trump can get behind. the president an has been and i still the wild card in all this. two options being seen equally entenable. a couple other options. one, the easiest way out is play the semantics game. say the border barrier funded builds his wall. the other option is accepting the comb pra piece. compromise. redirect money to build the remainder. he can do that without declaring a national emergency. it would likely be controversial and it would likely spark court challenges. we'll hear from him in the 11:00 hour. he's holding a cabinet meeting. >> all right, we've

. >> that does it for me, kacie hunt is picking it up now. >> no comment, that was how roger stone, thesually very chatty figure on social media had to say to the press ahead of his emergency hearing over an instagram post that could land him in jail. that hearing is happening right now. the judge overseeing his criminal trial, she scheduled this hearing after stone posed a photo of her after what appeared to be crosshairs of a gun next to her head. it was asking for contributions for his defense fund calling robert mueller a deep state hit man. it was up for an hour before it was removed and replaced with a statement saying it was a random photo from the internet. but then, stone filed an unusual notice of apology calling the photograph and comment improper. jackson is the same judge overseeing the criminal case against former trump campaign chairman paul manafort. just last week she said manafort's efforts to shield a russian conspirator gives rise to length legitimate questions about where his loyalties lie. stone faces seven charges including one count of obstruction. five counts of

back in july, 2017, david pecker was at the white house with a man named kacy grine, who was an adviser to the saudi family, and we have a picture of mr. grine there. that's in the oval office back in the summer of 2017. that picture comes from something that ami published in march 2018. a hundred-page glossy about the virtues of saudi arabia. i mean, printed 200,000 copies and then on basically the same day that the jeff bezos piece was published, ami closed on a $450 million restructuring of its debt. did any of that money come from saudi arabia? >> zero. >> not a penny? >> not a penny. never has. ami sought financing from the saudis, but never obtained any. doesn't have any saudi arabia financing. >> why did ami "the national enquirer" and david pecker publish this hundred-page glossy about saudi arabia? >> that's a journalistic decision that they made. there is nothing illegal about it. it has nothing to do with anything that this investigation is about. >> not an attempt -- >> it was -- it was published in march of 2018. >> not an attempt of favor with saudi arabia? >> not that i'm

. >> welcome to the second hour of kacie d.c.n, and washington anchor for bbc news, katty kay and carol lee. thank you for being here tonight. we are sifting through several revelations out of a "60 minutes" interview that just aired with former acting director, andrew mccabe. among one of them mccabe said the president sided with vladamir putin over his officials. >> the president launched into several related diatribes. one of those was commenting on the recent missile launches by the government of north korea. essentially the president said he did not believe north koreans had the capability to hit us here with ballistic missiles in the united states and he did not believe that because president putin had told him they did not. president putin told him the north koreans don't actually have those missiles. >> u.s. intelligence was telling the president what? >> intelligence officials in the briefs responded that that was not consistent with any of the intelligence our government possesses, to which the president replied, i don'
