kasie hunt alluded to this, what senator langford had to say about vladimir putin. take a listen. >> obviously, we've got to get connections, whether there was connection with the trump campaign, any collusion with any russian officials. there's no question now that russians were trying to affect our election and they were trying to engage and destabilize, the exact same thing they do across europe itself. >> you have a republican, and not a lot of them have done this, who have gone and said what we heard senator langford say. you're a member of the armed services committee. what's the right way, in your mind, of dealing with putin? >> well, he is not our friend, so we have 17 intelligence agencies that have said, in no uncertain terms, that russia inter feared with our election. we know that they are trying to destabilize nato. we know what they're trying to do. so trusting putin over what our own people can do with an independent investigation is being just totally naive. >> good to see you, senator. thank you so much for taking the time. >> thank you. aloha. >> a

i mean this is what -- this is what i think langford is talking about, this is what dianne feinsteins talking about, this is what senator warner was talking about to manu yesterday. i think what you do when you do this kind of an investigation, is you broaden out the circles and then you narrow them, right? and so what they do is they're casting the net right now, and they want to talk to people to see if indeed there were any communications between people who were in the orbit of donald trump and russians who wanted to influence the election on his behalf. it's a very logical way to proceed. >> what about moving on to the wiretapping, you know, these allegations of -- without evidence of president trump's, trump tower, with regard to president obama, and now apparently the democrats are calling for another investigation. >> well -- >> what's that about? >> i think they're calling his bluff basically. i think that, you know, you have sean spicer originally coming out after donald trump tweeted last saturday -- was that only last saturday? >> only last saturday morning. >> tweeted las

on cnn tonight you had james langford. the senate has a totally different -- maybe the sniping back and forth that you see in the house is totally the opposite of what you have in the senate. they're going step by step, democrat and republican, and having a very dignified hearing and investigation. i think the house unfortunately there is a lot of politics around it, and that's what i would be concerned about. >> i've got to go. thank you. appreciate it. >>> straight ahead, jared kushner's meeting with a russian bank who has ties to vladimir putin. he'll now be questioned by a senate committee. wherever you are. it's your trade. e*trade youthat's why you drink ensure. sidelined. with 9 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. for the strength and energy to get back to doing... ...what you love. ensure. always be you. could save money on car insurance.nce you know, the kind of driver who always buckles up... comes to a complete stop... and looks both ways, no matter what. because esurance believes that's the kind of d

let's take to oklahoma senator james langford. he's on the committee of intelligence.ou. >> good to see you. >> shepard: this is the source of information that intelligence committees would have word on. do you have word on it? >> no, i won't talk about what we have word on and what we don't. we're thoroughly researching this and walking through the entire investigation with russia, the campaign and all that goes with it. we'll walk through it and uncover what is out there and make sure that we get it clear. >> shepard: ont trump accused president obama of a crime. is there evidence of it? >> not that we have seen yet. but again, the white house will document to what they have seen and what they're aware of. >> shepard: the white house has not elaborated. should it? >> sure, they should. they should make clear what they're putting out there, why they would put it out in the public arena and put that out to us so we can work through the classified documents. anything like that, there would have to be a tremendous amount of overreach in our government. it's against the l

we'll speak live with the republican senate intelligence committee member james langford.s asking the american people to be patient when it comes to the russian investigation. that's top of the hour on shepard smith reporting. see you then. >> sandra: the fbi pushing back against the trump administration with director comey calling on the doj to refute president trump's wire tapping accusation. deputy white house press secretary sara sanders is reinforcing president trump's call for an investigation. >> they are trying to look and find out if it's true. director comey all reportedly saying that it issen true. are they lying? >> look, all we're asking is that the white house intelligence committee is allowed to do their job. that's what we want them to do. when the fbi said the reports about the president were bs, it was ignored. >> sandra: so joining me now to discuss, let's bring in tom due preformer deputy attorney general under president george w. bush. good to see you and thank for being here. let's start off with comey pushing back on these accusations. >> it is unusu

. >> martha: senator langford of oklahoma and house judiciary chairmen are behind this stop settlementd act of 2017. this is what we talk about when you talk about draining the swamp, right? this is pretty murky. >> it is real murky swamp. this ad thickens, it is taxpayer money. money that should have gone into either to the customers of the organizations, keep in mind how simple this is. if you are a bank, you could find. instead of paying the full find to a government or giving it back to your customers, you instead make a donation to some liberal group. martha, i don't care if the donation is to a liberal or conservative group. this violates the constitution congress can appropriate money. this is outrageous. >> martha: when you look at the protection of the system in d.c., they looked into it, but the government accountability office and the congressional research service concluded that the settlement agreements do not violate congress' power of the purse. they circled the wagons on this, right? >> sure. they are projecting each other. i think any simple reading of the constitution

i heard james langford say this morning he does really want to get to the bottom of it. >> obviously we've got to get connections, whether there was any connection with the trump campaign and collusion with any russian officials. there's no question now that russians were trying to affect our election and they were trying to engage and destabilize, the exact same thing they do across europe. >> reporter: i asked mark warner if he was surprised to hear a republican acknowledge that they do want to get to the bottom of that. typically it's not something we hear people say, at least not in front of cameras. he said no, that this investigation, he believes, is proceeding in a way that hopefully, in his view, will actually expose whatever may have happened regardless of the partisan politics around it. there's also a lot of questions about the witness list. today what you're going to see is mostly academics, people who worked in the intelligence community. we will have a former director of nsa this afternoon talking about cyber security and how that relates to all of this, hacking, fake n

on cnn tonight you had james langford. the senate has a totally different -- maybe the sniping back and forth that you see in the house is totally the opposite of what you have in the senate. they're going step by step, democrat and republican, and having a very dignified hearing and investigation. i think the house unfortunately there is a lot of politics around it, and that's what i would be concerned about. >> i've got to go. thank you. appreciate it. >>> straight ahead, jared kushner's meeting with a russian bank who has ties to vladimir putin. he'll now be questioned by a senate committee. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ sfx: engine revving ♪ (silence) ♪ >>> the trump administration's intriguing ties to russia. if there's nothing to hide as the white house insists, why all the unanswered questions? this is "cnn tonight." why did jared kushner meet with the head of a russian bank who has ties to vladimir putin? american intelligence called the bank chief a spy. jared kushner set to testify in front of the house intelligence committee. >> if

republican senator james langford who has worked on the scenes to secure the pastor's release travelth the justice department. >> it's very clear to the last six months of the transition to the obama and trump transitioned this fell through the cracks. during his meeting wayford said turkish authorities alleged pastor brunson helped kurdish refugees in the attended a conference sponsored by an islamic preacher who the turkish government blames for instigating the coup from pennsylvania. the senator says the allegations are without merit and there is a solution. >> we have been very powerful in our message to say there's a way to resolve this if they have concern about this american good citizen support them and have them leave the country but not just hold them indefinitely. >> that was catherine herridge according to "fox news" did send a series of questions to the turkish embassy in d.c. that so far there has been no immediate response. the terror attack in london this week having an impact across the country in the continent. italian security forces on high alert this week for two

the strong support he's had from people like susan colins and roy blunt and marco rubio and james langford all who have been there saying hey, we've got to do this right. but i give a lot of credit to chairman burr as well. this is tough for both of us, and from a political standpoint. but he agrees with me that we're going to follow this wherever the intelligence leads. and we've got to do this the right way. >> rose: it's too early obviously to make a jjment when you are just beginning this. but you have seen a lot of the evidence so far, have you not? >> i have seen a lot of the underlying evidence that went into the january 6th report. i have also seen some of the materials around the so called dossier. i have also seen that that raises a wol lot of other questions. and then i've seen press reports that indicate boy oh boy there is a lot of smoke here. i'm not ready by any means to say there's fire but there is a lot of smoke. and again, if the white house, if we were to believe the white house and they have done nothing, then you would think he they would want to get out of the way an

. >>> joining me is republican senator james langford of oklahoma who serves on the senate intelligencemiee and thanks so much for being here. let me ask you off the bat. do you support granting immunity for general flynn? >> i'm going to let the chairman of the committee make that decision as we walk through the process. we'll want to hear from general flynn. we think he has something to contribute to things information and the other witnesses we've reached out to all have voluntarily agreed to meet with us and we do look forward to meeting to all of them, including general flynn. >> no one else has ask for immunity? >> i'm not going to go into the details of how we operate but everyone ee has voluntarily cooperated. >> i'll take that as a yes even though you didn't say it that way. general flynn and president trump both repeatedly suggested during the campaign that if someone is granted immunity it suggests that they committed a crime. do you agree with that characterization? >> that makes good politics in the conversation in a campaign time period, but you and i both know a lot of pe

called several of them today, just this morning, on "morning joe," called putin a thug and james langford, republican from oklahoma, talked about the need to make sure that there wasn't any coordination between any trump associates and the russians. pretty noteworthy statement there as well all unfolding on capitol hill. >> how long do we expect this thing to last? what kind of witnesses can we expect to see, kasie? >> so, again, the witnesses are going to be experts in the various topics. think tanks, intelligence officials, things like that. not anybody that you would necessarily recognize. again, they will be going through this kind of information about the particularly the focus on propaganda and hacking of the u.s. election in general. they want to make sure they're focusing this in a broad way so that it doesn't seem as though they are particularly partisan. as for the length of time, i would expect this to last about the same kind of long stretch of hours that most senate hearings last. i think we could see a couple hours of this today, craig. >> kasie hunt for us on capitol hill,

. >> senator langford. >> dan, it is absolutely great to see you againped a i am sure that you are enjoying to be on the side of the desk because you can't get up there to leave when you want to or come in and out, and take a quick phone call, because you are stuck right there. >> yes. >> it is great to see you. and i do want to follow-up on a conversation that senator king had with you. i would say that i had the same line of questioning with you to close the loop on. you are one of the nicest people that i have ever met. >> thank you. >> that is to your credit and not only the to your faith and your family, but the people that you have served for a long time. but i really want the dni to be able to be tough when it requires the be tough, and to be clear when there is time to be clear, because the policy makers around you need clarity, need straight forward facts and the facts that they know that they can trust. and we will deal with nice in the hallway when we grab a bottle of water together and have a chance to chitchat. but i need to hear clarification from you, again, that when the mom

republican senator jim langford of omaha had this exchange with former fbi special agent clint watts, did he think he could get away with it this time? this is not new for the russians. they've done this for a long time across europe. but it was much more engaging this time in our election. why now? >> i think this answer is very simple and is what no one is saying in this room, which is part of the reason active measures have worked in this u.s. election is because the commander in chief has used russian active measures at time against his opponents. on 14 august, 2016 his campaign chairman, after a debunked -- >> you say his, who's his? >> paul manafort used a fake story on cnn as a talking point. on 11 of october, president trump stood up and talked about a fake news on sputnik news. he denies the information about russia he claims the election could be rigged. that was pushed by outlets up to the election. he made claims of voter fraud that president obama is not a citizen, that, you know, congressman cruz is not a citiz citizen. so part of reason active measures works and it does
