kislyak is still a central character in the russia investigation. the former kgb colonel in the kremlin who hasn't been to the white house since 2005 could try to manipulate trump the next time they meet. >> he focuses on the weaknesses of the leader and exploits those weaknesses. president putin will clearly want to appear very sympathetic to president trump and support his view of dialogue and engagement of making deals on syria and ukraine, but while also making sure that he is strengthening divisions between congress and the white house. >> reporter: putin is a master at playing mind games during these meetings. from his own imposing body language, to making his counterpart cringe. in 2007, knowing german chancellor angela merkel was terrified of dogs, putin brought his huge black labrador, connie, into the room. putin smirked, merkel put on a brave face. >> she did not blink because she understands the russian mindset. she knows that the russians and in this case vladimir putin wanted to play russian chess with her, which means the person who b

and it said he met with sergei kislyak. it also discusses michael cohen, trump's personal attorney in his efforts to try to get a proposed trump tower moscow built, certainly that was later abandoned. it showed e-mail exchanges about discussions about trump appearing on stage with putin and it never materialized in the campaign. democrats have their own view and say that was not the point, it was not investigated fully to come to that conclusion that they believe showed signs, at least attempted, between the trump campaign and russia. >> and the russian lawyer at the center of that meeting in trump tower is now a, quote, informant, we're learning. this is the exact meeting. it was poor judgment on the part of the campaign. how are lawmakers reacting to this revelation, manu? >> along party lines as you would expect. jared kushner, paul manafort met with a russian informant in trump tower during the heat of the campaign. republicans say it not as big of an issue as would seem because the meeting didn't amount to much. when i

donald trump and russian foreign minister sergei lavrov shaking hands and lavrov brought along sergei kislyak. nobody knew about the meetings in advance. american journalist were kept out. the meeting was not on the president's official schedule and when it happened, the press pool was taken by surprise. the white house said that trump decided to take the meeting because quote putin asked him to so he said yes and then we had to learn about it all from russia. the third time was in september with the new russian ambassador who announced that, quote, the u.s. president received me in a warm and friendly way. it was constructive and welcoming. that's what the russian ambassador told the state owned news agency. the white house announced it afterwards, once the report from russian state media started getting around and it was the russian embassy that tweeted out this from the oval office. fourth time, november. there was a flurry of reporting, again all sourced to the kremlin, on how donald trump was going to meet vladimir putin at the asian pacific summit. the white house initially denied they

clearly there were intercepts they were listening in on with kiss kislyak. did he tell the white house counsel? did he tell the president about it? we don't know the answer to that question. we do know the president at this point is saying, this guy, i don't know. he was complaining that flynn hadn't told him about a phone call from a foreign leader, right? but we don't know what else was in the president's mind at that point about flynn and why in the end he kept, you know, he asked comey to kind of stop the case. that's the kebs that's really hard to make for me. >> you mentioned reince priebus. i want to skip that. bob, i want to get to this piece and we'll get to the president's reaction in a second. there's this bit about russia and the prostitute. trump told comey the hooker from the dossier total bunk, nonsense but that putin told him we have some of the most beautiful hookers in the world. what does that tell sfrurts. >> -- prosecutors? >> what it told prosecutors was what he could be compromised. when trump was denying it, comey said it was verified

he misled the vice president, but he didn't do anything wrong in the call -- in the call with kislyak. he's a good guy, i hope you can let this go. i replied i agree, he's a good guy but said no more. now, don, comey also goes onto describe a conversation he had with former chief of staff reince priebus on february 8th. and in that situation comey says the two were alone and he asked me, meaning comey if this was a private conversation. i replied it was. he then said he wanted to ask me a question and i could decide whether it was appropriate to answer. he then asked, quote, do you have a fisa order on mike flynn. don, that's extraordinary because this is just days before national security advisor mike flynn is fired. and this is the chief of staff asking the fbi director if they have a surveillance warrant on the national security advisor. and i also want to mention later on february 8th comey says that the white house -- i should say president trump met with him on that same day. and although president trump has emphasized how limited his interactions are with vladimir putin comey w

the reaction from russia as you can expect belligerent, as you can expect sergey kislyak, president putinion committed without mandate and violation with un charters and principles of international law. putin did not call it an act of war, white house officials say they are pleased that there's been no sign of any kind of conflict with russia other than the statements they have been issuing over the past 18 hours, nsc officials point out to fox news that the russian antimissile system was on but did not fire, the idea that russia has impenetrable system has been put to rest. we imagine that he probably spoke with french president macron because theresa may spoke with macron as well. in a statement read out of the call, the three leaders agreed that the military strikes taken against the syrian regime's chemical weapon sites had been a suck et -- success. the public support from the world leaders that the uk, france and the united states had taken to degrading syrian chemical weapon's capability, sending clear message that the use of chemical weapons can never be normalized, that's the tak

january 27, sally yates came to the white house to say mike flynn, one, had a conversation with sergey kislyak that might have been inappropriate. two, the story he told to the white house, that the white house repeated reportedly was not true about the conversation, that he had not discussed sanctions. you would have expected that the white house would take action and the president would be concerned, as they later said, after reports surfaced all this, was concerned that mike flynn had lied to them. know what we find out is that he was concerned mike flynn had called back to vladimir putin. it shows where again the president's priority with the respect to the russian government has been from the beginning. >> and chris tekristen, the pre reaction, let's go over the tweet. michael flynn's life can be totebtot totally destroyed. is that really the way life in america is supposed to work? i don't think so. >> he's been lashing out essentially saying this proves there was no collusion as well. and i think it is striking because the question becomes, where is there proof there's no clugs in the m

obviously what we learned later on, of course, is that the national security adviser to trump spoke to kislyak, the russian ambassador, about the issue -- not those sanctions, but sanctions the obama administration had imposed. so there was a general climate, i think, in moscow. the expectation was is that trump was going to be easier for them to deal with than obama was. >> so sabrina, this revelation about this follow-up comes just one day after the president declared total vindication, saying the house intelligence committee, the committee schiff is on, cleared him of collusion. what are we to make of this? >> well, i think that the issue with the house intelligence committee is their investigation they were conducting into russian interference in the u.s. election has been mired by partisanship from the get go. you'll recall that devin nunes, the chairman of the house intelligence committee, was forced to recuse himself from the investigation after meeting in secret with the white house during the course of that inquiry, but he has nonetheless stayed very involved in the day-to-day of the

and was paid $45,000 by the russian government for this trip, he and his son meet with ambassador kislyak at his private residence as a precursor to the trip. that's a meeting we didn't know about before. so even though the report shows that the house republicans didn't follow-up on so many leads, so many avenues of inquiry, and basically accepted what all the trump folks had to say at every turn, you know, there are some nuggets in this report that do raise some new questions. >> there are nuggets when -- natasha, when adam schiff on the house intel committee, democrat, a lawyer, was on with katy tur today, she asked was it a wasted effort because these lines of inquiries were not pursued. >> sandwiched between two calls is a third called to a blocked number. now then candidate trump had a blocked number. we sought to find out was this his son calling donald trump to find out if he should go forward with the meetings with the russians. the republicans refused to find out. they refused to let us seek the phone records. time after time when there were leads the republicans said we don't wh

meeting with then russian ambassador sergey kislyak at his residence, requested by either flynn or his son. the meeting was later described in an e-mail to the russian embassy as very productive. and trump's personal lawyer michael cohen and russian-american business associate felix satir would settlement ties between trump and vladimir putin. during an e-mail exchange about building a trump tower in moscow, sadir wrote to cohen, if quote, putin gets on stage with vladimir putin for a ribbon cutting, donald opens the republican nomination. >> the president welcomed the report but only focused on the headline, the republicans determined there was no evidence of collusion but there is a lot of new information in here and including, jim, a contact between the nra and e-mail describing how russia wanted to establish a back channel with the trump campaign using the nra and also this issue with veselnitskaya, and the contact yz the russians did not end in june but after president trump was elected they reached out again. >> and it is important to know the special counsel office has not reach

she is competing with sergey kislyak, how hard she was working. should have been obvious. don, i have written legislation that is called a duty to report which says that if you are contacted by an agent of a foreign power, as a candidate or someone on the campaign team you have to tell the fbi. there are so many people who were approached by russians with dirt on hillary clinton or who offered to connect donald trump to vladimir putin and they said nothing. >> okay, so, listen, in this, the republicans did push back on some of the actions taken by the trump campaign saying the trump tower meeting demonstrated poor judgment and that trump's praise for wikileaks was highly objectionable. are you happy they at least included that or do you think they had to include something. >> poor judgment is when you eat pizza too late. what they did was showing a willingness and eagerness to work with the russians. we should call it what it is and shouldn't have ended the investigation because as we just learned today natalia veselnitskaya admitted she was a spy. we also learned from chr

filed against flynn, there were activities during the transition, where he was talking to ambassador kislyak of russia, about russia sanctions and suggesting that they would take a new look at them. but also, the activities at the u.n. about the resolution condemning israel about settlements in which the united states -- the obama administration had decided was beginning to obtain. and the flynn and other trump transition officials were actively calling ambassadors from the u.n. city council, telling them not to vote for that and telling them the trump administration would have a very different policy. flynn was part of that. that really was interfering in u.s. foreign policy during a time that trump was not yet president. so, you know, there were logan act-like concerns about that activity. and i think that more than anything drove the inquiry into flynn. >> frank, how -- i guess, how common would it be that someone that close to the president would be the subject of this concern? >> well, if, indeed, it's true, and we can't erase that redaction, black marker, and figure out what's under it

flynn pledge guilty to makinge ining a false statement fbi regarding the discussions with ambassador kislyak of russia. in the washington examiner, they report that according to sources familiar with meetings that you had, that you told lawmakers when you were still director of the fbi that fbi agents who interviewed flynn did not believe that flynn had lied to them or that any inaccuracies in his answers were intentional. if that's the case, what did he plead guilty to? >> an example of how you can't believe everything you read. >> this is not true? >> not true. i don't know what people heard me say. they misunderstood. but that's not accurate. >> on the mike flynn plea deal as a prosecutor. some people described it as an incredible sweetheart deal. would you describe it that way? >> no. i wouldn't describe it either way because i can't see what's on the other side of the wall. that is, what's the evidence and the nature of his cooperation. >> when you were invited to dinner by the president on july 27th, that afternoon -- >> january 27th. >> excuse me. thank you for correcting me on that.

meeting with sergey kislyak at his residence, a meeting requested by either flynn or his son.says that the meeting was later described by general flynn's son in an e-mail to the russian embassy as very productive. also in 2015, trump's personal lawyer michael cohen and russian american business associate felix sadr were involved in efforts to cement ties between then candidate trump and russian president vladimir putin. during an e-mail exchange about building a trump tower in moscow, sadr wrote to cohen, if, quote, putin gets on stage donald for a ribbon cutting, donald owns the republican nomination. and more revelations contained in the democratic version of the house intelligence report, evidence of communications between russians involved in that june 2016 trump tower meeting, reaching out to the trump family, and associates, days after trump's election, including discussions of possible business deals, certainly information, certainly communications that the special counsel robert mueller would be asking questions about as well. jim sciutto, cnn, washington. >> thank you

in hot water early into his time with the trump administration for contact he had with this guy, kislyak. trump himself eventually fired flynn for lying to vice president mike flynn about this interaction -- mike pence, i'm sorry, for this interaction. but it was other connections to the russian government that seemed to have started his legal issues. flynn was paid by russian companies including the rt news channel for speeches he gave in 2015 while in moscow. he reportedly lied about the source of the payments when applied to renew his security clearance form and that is a felony. as the special counsel investigation ramped up, flynn's work for the turkish government came under a microscope. it was discovered he wrote an op ed criticizing a turkish opposition krcritic, a cleric living in exile in pennsylvania without filing the proper foreign agent paperwork. flynn was also accused of being part of a plot to kidnap the cleric and return him to turkey in exchange for $15 million. that's still being investigated. about a month after the news of that plot broke, flynn entered a guilty ple

also -- excuse me, sergei kislyak being the foreign minister. when he reveals classified information, he's simply sharing it, but he did appear to jeopardize a critical source of intelligence as it related to isis. that source, as we would report, being israel at the time. so that's the president's past experience dealing with a russian leader of some kind here at the white house, which would make for kwietd quite an intere scene if vladimir putin were to be invited here on behalf of his country to meet with the president in the weeks or months ahead. >> once again, the kremlin announcing all this first. that's the way we've learned of every conversation, every interaction the president has had with putin, also lavrov. all that comes from the kremlin first and then the white house is scrambling to catch up. more to come, of course. thank you so much for starting us off, peter. now to some major breaking news. the dow plunging more than 500 points today. cnbc's dominic chu joins me now. dominic, is this all about china and trade, or are there oth

>> you know, nicolle, if anyone was going to give sergey kislyak competition for employee of the year for the russian government, it was natalia veselnitskaya. she was all over the world working on behalf of the russian government. footnote 72 and the minority report refers to congressman dana rohrbacher during the campaign being over in russia and, what do you know, he runs in without planning to see her, natalia veselnitskaya. we also learned of other occasions when congressman rohrbacher was traveling in other parts of the world where he would just bump into natalia veselnitskaya. she is a spy. donald trump, jr., on that june 9 meeting at trump tower, met with a spy and he told the team that brought him the information, i love it. and it would be better if we can disseminate what you're trying to give to me right before the election. they knew exactly what they were doing. they were willing and eager to work with the russians. for us today to learn that she is a spy i think shows just how irresponsible it was to close our investigation. >> and, jeremy peters of "the new york times,

he tells kislyak and lavrov the day after he fired comey that's what he was doing.ut a prosecutor will want to go backward and say this is part of a pattern. >> so even if it's just the firing itself that is the act of obstruction of justice, previous meetings and previous contacts between the president and the person he fired leading up to the firing end up being legally important because they go to the president's state of mind, the why, as to why the firing happened and whether or not it was an illegal act? >> that's exactly right. for a criminal prosecution you need two big pieces. one is a bad act, which would be in this case firing comey. then you need the mental element, the mens rea, what was in the person's mind, what were they intending. so we have lots of pieces of evidence. comey's testimony suggests there's this background leading up to the fire, but contemporaneous notes show that it's not just a he said/he said, but you also have comey with contemporaneous notes and backed up by people he spoke to with those notes. so it's very important not just to c

that was when he said to, was it kislyak and lavrov, he had just fired comey and he said, i'm so happy to get rid of this nutjob. it relieved all the pressure on me. >> it was like out of a bad tv series, right? you could never imagine a conversation that blunt and sort of comical happening in the oval office with the russians at a time when he was under investigation for colluding with the russians. and then on top of everything else, he allegedly leaks classified information about a counter terrorist operation. so many things went wrong there. but back to what we're talking about here, classic russian move to be the ones to disclose, by the way, you might be interested in something your president said he didn't tell you, he invited vladimir putin to the white house. that is so important to vladimir putin. he is a man who wants to shed his international pariah image who wants to be meeting with world leaders in the classest places to be treated like big man who has a seat at the table and is a totally legitimate global actor, particularly at this moment when he stands accused of using

by then, investigators knew flynn had lied about his contact with the russian ambassador kislyak. after flynn had been fired, comey says the president asked if he could see your way clear to letting this go, to letting flynn go. also, cbs news confirmed that the white house has been informed the president is not a target in the investigation into his personal attorney michael cohen. deputy attorney rod rosenstein informed white house officials of that, including white house counsel don mcgahn. norah. >> we also learned yesterday that rudy you'giuliani is going join president trump's personal legal team. he wants to negotiate an end to this. does that mean trump will sit down for an interview? >> well, we'll have to see. the negotiations as far as we know have broken down. but we know that rudy giuliani is a former federal prosecutor. he says he has a relationship with mueller. he can negotiate an end a couple of weeks. >> these memos, an extraordinary window into that period in the trump presidency. james comey writes there was no questions about flynn's judgment as his national s

he had to bring sergey kislyak and the russian foreign minister. >> call him a nut job. >> into the ovalwas he said the reason i fired him was because of russia. >> something the special counsel is interested in. >> exactly right. >> now that we heard from james comey, it is certainly a matter of time before the president explodes on twitter. we're going to talk about mr. trump, his reaction to everything comey said about him tonight.
