like kate evan in particular who just like to spoil things for me. “— who just like to spoil things forei. last night we had the chinese are saying don't worry, don't listen to donald trump. element nowjeremy hunt has come out and said yes we do need to be cautious. —— yes and now jeremy hunt. need to be cautious. —— yes and now jeremy hunt. it's interesting from hunt, he is breaking rank with the rest of the cabinet. it's difficult to see it other than something other than a slight move towards a leadership bid that it will be interesting to see if more people come out and back him and worry about this after this. and the sg network, we need help with that but the concern is the security implications if we have a company thatis implications if we have a company that is thought to have links with the chinese government involved in that. and that's why it seems, from the leak that the telegraph had last week at least, the government is only going to let the cup —— company have involvement in non—core parts of the network was not striking aboutjeremy of the network was not striking about

evan, let me bring you in. can you walk us through the charges and this extradition request from the u.s.? >> right now, kate, there is just one charge. that has to do with the 2010 hacking or the 2010 stolen documents that chelsea manning, if you remember, she was found guilty for those crimes some time ago, during the obama administration. but according to this indictment that was unsealed in alexandria, virginia, prosecutors say assange was part of it. he helped conspire with chelsea manning to try to get passwords into that sensitive military computer system, as you mentioned. we do expect there's going to be more. this is just the beginning. the justice department is expected to file more charges against julian assange. we don't know exactly when that will be and what exactly those will be, but this is a case, as you know, that has been going on for a long time, including obviously during the obama administration where they looked at whether they could charge julian assange and wikileaks as something other than a jou journalistic organization and publisher. news organizations worked with wikileaks to pu

kate? >> manu, thank you very much. joining me right now -- and we'll add other players to this, but let me bring in evan perez. this was some of your reporting this morning, about how bill barr was assembling a team to look into origins of the russia investigation, something he suggested yesterday and you had more on it today. what did you make of his, i guess, further explanation of what he's interested in looking into and why today. >> yeah. kate, i think that was a little bit of a clean-up in the fisa aisle there at the hearing. but then the attorney general seemed to wave more deeply and cause more spills in that aisle. here is what he said to jean shaheen. i think we have the sound about what exactly he's trying to do with regard to the origins of the fbi investigation. >> news just broke today that you have a special team looking into why the fbi opened an investigation into russian interference in the 2016 elections. i wonder if you can share with this committee who is on that team, why you felt the need to form that kind of a team and what you intend to be the scope of their investigation. >> yeah. as

is telling our evan perez that kirstjen nielsen really considered this as somewhat of a relief, this resignation. she's been in this pressure cooker for the past week in particular, kate, running up against those hard-line immigration advisers like, of course, stephen miller at the white house that abby talked about. so nielsen, she's been trying to get a handle on the situation for the past week. sort of feeling like it's been slipping out of her control. one interesting anecdote. she led a conference call last week where she announced her team would be handling the increasing border crisis response, like what she called a category-5 hurricane response. you would think that would be good news for the president and his advisers, but we're told stephen miller didn't like that tactic. he actually felt sort of out of the loop on what nielsen was doing, so that ultimately led to nielsen's swift undoing, forcing her to submit a resignation late yesterday. looks like stephen miller's handprints are all over this. >> a lot of important news coming otof your reporting and abby's reporting on this. i really appreciate it. >>> joining me now is lee gellar, the lead attorney sui
