when komi lead the lead that organization bias that they say allowed clinton hillary clinton to escape prosecution for use of a private server private e-mail server they also want to question me about f.b.i. investigation into the trump campaign's alleged ties to russia as well now komi said i'm willing to testify but i want it to be public because he says that if it would have been behind closed doors republicans would have just selectively selectively leaked his testimony to make him look bad now congressman jerry nadler a democrat from new york agreed with call me on that this is what he said on n.b.c.'s sunday morning. the republicans in this particular investigation have a history of having these these in camera interviews and then selectively leaking portion is the of the interview to give distorted view to the public of what happened let komi testify in public there's nothing there's no military secrets here he wants to testify he ought to be able to we ought to have accountability and openness to the american public and there's no reason for the secrecy that that mr goodloe so

at first komi challenged the subpoena to appear in a private session, he wanted to testify publicly. republicans rejected that. >> why jim komi, the last time i was in a public hearing with him over 100 times he said i cannot answer in this setting. why mr. transparency wants to go back to a setting where he knows he cannot answer the questions is befuddling to me and i don't think we buy that. >> komi agreed to drop the suit when republicans assured him they would release the transcript and he could speak publicly about the interview after it concludes. >>> two women have come forward saying that they were hired to work at the trump national golf club in new jersey even though they were undocumented at the time. the two women spoke with the new york times, one is from coast to rica and is now a legal us residents. she said she worked at the golf club in new jersey as a housekeeper from 2010 to 2013. the other woman from guatemala still works at the golf club and says she knows she could be fired or deported but she says she feels good for coming forward because she is tired of the h

that's what james komi he has spoken after his behind closed doors meeting with lawmakers we knew that the ripple republicans weren't going to give him an easy time but he really didn't give too much away what we read into sort of the way he came out of that meeting. i did not see the transcript i meant sure it's been published yet but it he insisted that it be made public because he realized the republicans would take whatever he said and try to give it a partisan spin so calmly said he would testify only if the committee agreed to publish the transcriptions and only if he were predict hark about what he actually said to the committee but i haven't actually seen the transcript yet it pops perhaps know much of that transcript is going to be redacted in the future for national security reasons sometimes lawmakers do use that reason sometimes do they not bill but also you talk about what komi wanted to get out of this meeting i mean how much pressure is there really on on the scenario around the russia investigation in the light of what we're hearing now about what prosecutors want to do
