also here, ken vogel who wrote the story, chief investigative reporter for politico. congressman, you're in there and i guess my question is, we know an awful lot thanks to the 17 intelligence agencies about the way russia wanted hillary to lose and if it could be really lucky, get trump to win. how they wanted to undermine our democracy. that's all on the record. we also have a lot of other things on the record. how trump romanced or bromanced the russians all through the campaign. said wonderful things about their little instrument called wikileaks, said wonderful things about vladimir putin, about everything over there, how he's going to be their allies in the world against isis, et cetera, et cetera. seems to me a lot of information is out there about the symbiotic relationship between trump and the russians. what do you know more, or can you hint at where you think this story's going? >> you know, chris, insaid very clearly as have others on this committee, we need to get to the bottom of one question. did any americans conspire with the russians who interfered w

ken vogel, chief political reporter for politico. let's put it together. three big stories tonight. let's start with the one that nunes, chair of the house intelligence committee came out and tried to, well, mess up the perception that trump was not, was not under surveillance, when in fact, what he said today has something to do with the trance sigs period, vaguely surveillance, something being picked up incidentally whereas trump's charge of a couple weeks ago in his tweets were very clear. he said president obama wiretapped me at trump tower during the campaign. i don't think a word of that has been challenged effectively. >> well, we've been reporting for weeks and weeks and weeks that, you know, wiretaps may have picked up vary members of trump's campaign at trump tower. and, again, i remember -- i'm old enough to remember when the white house was saying that was an intentful wiretap. look, the president said -- >> a sick president. at what trump said. >> he said he s sick and he was bad. >> watergate. >> and watergat and he put it directly at preside

jeremy bash will be with us as well, former chief of staff at cia and department of defense, and ken vogel, chief investigative reporter at politico. chris, let me start with you. if i can, i want to recap in case people are just joining us. two american reporters asked about health care. two german reporters asked about president trump's unfounded allegation about wiretapping. i want to play the second time it was asked when the president actually answered. >> after these claims are rejected, what is your take on that? are there other suspects on do you think it was -- it was a mistake to blame british intelligence for this? and, by the way, my second question, are there from time to time tweets that you regret inside -- >> very seldom. >> very seldom. so you never would have -- >> very seldom. probably wouldn't be here right now, so very seldom. we have a tremendous group of people that listen, and i can get around the media when the media doesn't tell the truth, so i like that. as far as wiretapping by this past administration, at least we have something in common, perhaps.
