it's at langley. we go out to langley. that was the compromise with the cia and the nsa was the documents would stay there. we do to the documents. but we have access to them and we are getting full cooperation from the intelligence agencies at this point and i expect that to continue. >> is that robust to use one of the terms of part of your investigation, to the extent you think it's producing a picture of what might have happened in a preliminary phase? >> i would have to say it's quite preliminary. we're interviewing witnesses, our staff is going to interview jared kushner next week. that was announced this evening. >> that will be public? >> no. this is a preliminary interview by the staff. >> sebastian gorka on your list? >> i won't answer specifically who's on our list. we will talk to a lot of the names you heard and a lot of the names you haven't heard. >> are you concerned at all about the fact that the former director of the fbi acknowledged he leaked these memos through a professor of columbia. there is an argu

that messageered on behalf of the cia but when he went back to langley he checked to see whether it wasn fact true, and discovered the cia had no participation as an organization in the watergate break-in and that it had no secrets to worry about being disclosed. this sets up a very big obstruction of justice problem for richard nixon that when it was ultimately resolved over a year ago -- padilla year later, chris -- a year later, precipitated his resignation. richard next tape recorded his oval office conversations because alexander butterfield testifies to that before the senate watergate committee. it will be possible to tell objectively whether richard nixon obstructed justice, whether he gave the order to have the cia shut off the fbi investigation. the watergate committee and archibald cox immediately requested takes because they are what is essential to finding out who was telling the truth and whether a crime has been committed. nixon claims executive privilege, says i cannot it wouldthem to you, violate the confidentiality of conversations people have with the president. of 19

sat down with the former congressman, west point and harvard law graduate at cia headquarters in langleyi started by asking him about russia's meddling in last year's election and what the administration is doing to

initially there was a carrier called the langley. it was modified, a coal ship. it was modified and modified again to basically become a sea plain tender. one of the things at the washington naval conference in 1921, gave permission to the united states to build two carriers on what were basically battleship hulls at that point. they said, let's not build any more battleships. we have two hulls on the way. what will we do with those? those became the lexington and saratoga. after that, you need to give roosevelt and admiral king pushing for navy aviation, i think you need to give roosevelt credit as soon as his election, inauguration in 1933, he's beginning to turn back this '20s isolationism and do things like put more money into the navy, and begin to build ships like that. certainly aircraft carriers, enterprise, ranger, yorktown, come on line. they're really gyms in terms of state-of-the-art at that point. halsey and king both command them at some point. to your point. really gems. >> at pearl harbor, i think the result might have been cat 'stro stick. there

go to langley air force base and that's where our raptors live. it is a jewel in our crown and the-- we have analyzed it doesn't have to go 3 feet entitled depth. it only has to get four or 5 inches and across the bay four or 5 miles across and the wind comes in and you have a lot of water. i was there in 84, commanding a fighter squadron. we probably had four or five hurricanes while i was there. we took some water, but we changed a few things and we were good to go. i went back in 2005, as a combat -- combat command and we had one nor'easter come through, just plain vanilla nor'easter and we had about three or 4 feet of water in the main road that went outside of my quarters and we had people scrambling to pump water just because in that amount of time things had gotten that much worse. get a smaller storm starting from a higher base. those are the kind of things we start to look at is how bad could it be? this is that analysis we do. look at where you are you say what could happen and you go how could-- how bad could that be, could we stand tha

after they read the document they were instructsed to put it back in the envelope, send it back to langley via courier as soon as they finished reading it, it was that sensitive. so sensitive, in fact, that the initial meetings excluded some very senior top officials, including the secretary of state and the secretary of defense. that's how sensitive this was, and how restricted this information was held within the obama administration. >> and this intelligence, which you know is stunning from where it came from, the sources within side russia said what? that vladimir putin was directing attacks -- to hurt hillary clinton and to help continue to? >> righ >> -- donald trump? >> right. the cia obtained precise instruction from putin. this, again, came from a very sensitive source of information. we are withholding some details of that per request of the cia and other government agencies that want to, of course, protect their ability to continue to get that kind of information. and so whatthis was, was as close to a smoking gun evidence as you can get. and yet it really wasn't enough for obam

more about the deadly shooting that happened in langley park. prince george's county police have identified the victim as 22-year-old carlos sanchez carrera. he was shot friday night on 14th avenue. this is about one blo now there's a $25,000 reward for information that will lead to a suspect. >>> time right now is 5:03. d.c. police hope you can help them solve a deadly shooting in northwest. what we want you to take a look at here is surveillance video that we're going to show you. it shows the shooting that killed algernon harvey and injured seven others on memorial day weekend. they released this video last night. the group may have been gambling when all of the shooting started. everyone scattering and people taking cover underneath cars. neighbors had strong words for the people behind the violence. >> they are kind of acting out and, you know, like caged animals. they have nowhere else to go, nothing else to do and so they resort to this violence over increasingly petty beeves and vendettas. >>> d.c. police have put up a temporary surveill

that information was taken, put back in the envelope and sent back to langley. >> putin had his fingerprints? >> it was the order effectively. what putin's instructions were and from that, that sounds amazing, but it wasn't enough for obama. obama wanted to corroborate it. he wanted something that he felt like would be a high confidence assessment across the intelligence agencies. that's a tall order. >> sometime in august that candidate trump was saying the election was rigged. he didn't want to look like he was helping secretary clinton. he met with putin in china. he still hadn't taken any action at all. >> they thought that hillary clinton was going to win. the idea was not to retaliate to russia before the election because putin might respond by interfering on election day. that was their goal. it took them a while because they went through trying to have a smooth transition with the trump guys before it became clear there was a great deal of tension behind the seas. >> thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you. >>> president obama and his white house facing fierce criticism from

. >> if i mention langley, let me see in your eye twitches. >> i'm not going to tell. >> the numbers,ite neutral, these are generally the numbers that we will see. did you look at the sites and say this one would end up better? i think you mentioned downtown would be better because you have transit and access to restaurants as well. >> there is the opportunity for spending outside of the stadium at restaurants and bars and new retail and housing around the stadium. >> if they say to you where to put the stadium. >> there are arguments for a downtown stadium. that is correct. >> we will commission a second study once we find the location. that is something that we will do. >> jeff, when it comes to baseball, it has more of an impact than football. baseball has a lot of home games. >> 81 home games. and you're looking at fans spending in the stadium and around the stadium. they're looking to create that in-stadium spending but how do you get people to the neighborhood? it is a magnet for the dollars to come in across the region into oakland. >> you wouldn't give us your pfeiffer rate ch

pompeo, cia director, literally spends three hours of his day coming from langley to the white housegive a briefing and leaving traditionally, it would be a working level briefer that would do that. trump doesn't trust these people and believes he's getting burned by the intelligence community and doesn't want leakers around him and this extends to all the cabinets. >> interesting. wow. it's a little bit -- i would hate to qualify it, but it sounds a little bit like paranoia. am i -- >> i would say that's right. but it's not completely unfounded in the sense that there have been a lot of leaks in this white house especially coming from law enforcement and intelligence. i know that in the beginning i-reported that he wouldn't even let specialists in certain regions of the world sit in on him when he was talking to foreign leaders from the national security council. he didn't want them near him able to pass knows and give him tips during the phone calls. they were sitting in the situation room listening in but he didn't want him in his eyesight. >> i never thought about this. but i had

intelligence they were told to give it back to the courier so the courier could bring it back to langley. inside the package was information from such an important source that it was almost as if they were seeing directly putin's instructions on what to carry out here. >> let's talk about what i think is really the big headline here. this is an account that there was definitive proof that this was an attempt to interfere in the u.s. election directed by president putin himself. how can you report this so definitively? what gives you and the post so much confidence? >> as we know there was classified annex, classified version of the intelligence report that was made public in early january. this is the document that was provided to the president. it was provided to then-president-elect trump. what we have learned and what we are revealing in today's report is what was in that document that was presented to trump by brennan, clapper, comey, during that meeting at trump tower back in january. that information now we are with holding some details about the nature of that intelligence to prot

in between that time of him getting in, he flew back to nasa langley with john young. know john young. john young flew every vehicle known to humans in the space program. he flew sts1, columbia. he walked on the moon. so when john young tells you should apply, guess you should apply, and i applied when he came and talked to us. so, i guess a lot of people dent apply. they talk about it but don't follow through. you had a followup. >> thank you for being an inspiration. >> thank you. [applause] >> i am originally from puerto rico. you were the first astronaut i met in 2003 when you visited my school. >> i was? >> correct. i just am just here to let you know that this is part of your legacy. i was inspired by then. could i not go to talk to you because i could not speak english by then, and i was inspired to continue grad school and nowdays i'm a scientist, and i'm a -- we are with you. we're part of the first high seas mission on mars, and we are here with you to inspire. >> i'm here with you. >> como esta? that's what it is about, having people coming together as a com

that we are at a very delicate stage and if we can't begin to root them out, the real enemies lie at langley and the pentagon and we have to be able to recognize that. and also i want to talk real quick about nancy pelosi's little sermon she gave up there. as a non-christian, i certainly don't appreciate having hear that from a capitol hill podium. religious fundamentalism is part of the reason that we have a man like donald trump in the white house. do god's will. we need to do that will. thank you. host: florida, next up, nicholas. go ahead. democrats' line. caller: yes, good morning. i have been watching the thing all morning. and what i seem to not understand when the republicans call in is that they're saying it's the democrats that are resisting and they shouldn't be resisting. if i remember correctly, when barack obama was elected president, on the first night mitch mcconnell said his whole goal was to make him a one-term president. and they did everything that they could to make sure that none of his agenda was passed. and it's funny that now they're saying the democrats should not t

investigators say they're responsible for shooting another man to death on june 2nd on new hampshire the langley park area. the murder is part of an ongoing dispute between the suspect and the victim, 22-year- old carlos sanchez. >> this is one of those good news bad news stories. the state of virginia is making a huge push to get rapists off the streets. it all comes down to evidence. but the bad news is that evidence has been piling up. cases are stacking up. and victims are left in the dark. and it was worse than we thought it was. let's go back to the story that i did three years ago. 85 remain untested in dc, in virginia, 117 kits wait for testing. now since then, advocates have been pushing for faster turn around, politicians started to listen, and more people have been asking questions. fast forward to right now and virginia's attorney general says the problem was actually worse than we thought. remember we said 117 evidence kits, no, the number, sitting on shelves around the state, more than 4,000. so how did that happen? it turn that never made it to the lab in richmond. several thousan

sat down with the former congressman, west point and harvard law graduate at cia headquarters in langley. i started by asking him about russia's meddling in last year's election and what the administration is doing to stop it from happening again. >> i can't talk about the details of the intelligence, but we have, the intelligence community, have said that this election was meddled with by the russians, in a way that is frankly not particularly original. they've been doing this for an awfully long time and we are decades into the russians trying to undermine american democracy. in some ways, there's no news, but it certainly puts a heightened emphasis on our ability to figure out how to stop them. >> the news was actually that putin personally directed. do you think the president did that? >> i don't confirm the intelligence related to that. >> john brennan, your predecessor, is said in that story, to have called his counterpart, now your counterpart. have you talked to him? >> i don't talk about the liaison partners that i speak with. but it is important that we continue to work in plac

that document back into the envelope, give it back to the courier so the courier takes it back to langley. that's how sensitive this was. this was the kind of intelligence that frankly was not even shared within the cabinet, this was only a trunkated cabinet given access to this because it was so sensitive. >> stephanie brings up an interesting point. at the time you had a president, presidential candidate, donald trump who was already starting to speak of the illegitimately of the election. now you've got president obama. you heard homeland former homeland secretary jeh johnson saying he wished they had been more forng forthcoming about this. what would have been the consequences of president obama coming -- going public with this, playing into donald trump's hands saying it's a rigged election? >> yeah, i think that was the idea of politicalization of the intelligence greatly weighed on president obama and top advisers. this was probably the number one reason why he had decided basically to move very cautiously and he instructed his intelligence agencies to go out there and look for oth

that, they were instructed to put it back in the envelope and tell the courier to take it back the langley. that's just an example of, you know, what was being given to the president at that point. this was a c.i.a. assessment early, this was raw intelligence. and it was not good enough for obama. he instructed the intelligence community to go out and see if they could validate what the c.i.a. was picking up. >> dickerson: michael, the validation happened. give us a sense from your expertise, i know we've talked about this before, but the president has been sceptical about whether this happened, whether it was the russian, it could have been the chinese. put this latest story into context in terms of the intelligence, how solid it was and what really administration officials know. >> one of the important things, john, about intelligence is that the information doesn't come just at one time, right? it comes in very slowly over time, and so intelligence stories build. i don't know about this particular source, and if i did i couldn't talk about it. but this seems to have kicked off the proce

his first full day in office, he purportedly tried to repair some of this damage by going out to langleyand he stood in front of the most solemn memorial in all of cia headquarters, a wall that at the time marked the 117 officers who had lost their lives in the line of duty and spoke about his crowd size at his inauguration the day before. so, this is not a president who has done himself any favors. and the piece of advice the president has failed to heed is when you have a shovel, stop digging. the president has continued to dig a bigger and bigger pit with the intelligence community and the latest report from the washington post, he's doubled down on that. >> and as we look at all these important investigations going on, it really is sort of disheartening because, you know, right now i don't see any sort of way to solve this. i see the intelligence community angry at him and i see him fighting back. but we'll see what happens. anyway, thank you for joining us. >> thanks, greta. >> jeff letterman is national security reporter for the associated press. kate from real clear politics and s

many of the most critical sit right on the coast, notably naval station norfolk, joint base langley and oceaners dam nick -- over the last 80 years waters at naval station norfolk have climbed more than 14 inches and counting. it's inconceivable to me that this committee would not want to better understand this looming threat and would want to take proactive steps to address it. delay will affect capability and readiness at these coastal installations, eventually destroying the value of investments we've made over many decades. this amendment would give us a clearer picture of the exact challenges we face. it would require the department of defense to lay out potential solutions giving us a road map for how to meet those challenges in short would move us from passivity to active participation. our military planes and trains every day for wars that god willing we'll never have to fight. we should prepare with equal vigor for the threats that we actually know we have to face. i thank my friend, the gentleman from rhode island, for his leadership on this issue. i urge my colleagues to supp

many of the most critical set right on the coast, notably naval station norfolk, joint base langley usedo come in naval air station annex. .. for the threats that we actually know we have to face and i think my friend the gentleman from rhode island on this issue, i urge my colleagues to support this amendment and i yield backthe balance of my time >> mister tsongas . >> thank you mister chairman. i'm a cosponsor of this amendment and strongly support passage. i just tell us that climate change is real, is caused by human activity and could have devastating effects across the globe . it is a very real crisis that is left untouched will cause irreparable harm to current and future generations. our military leaders, secretary of defense matters, secretary of the joint chief dunford, secretary gaetz have all testified to the rest that climate change poses to military readiness and our national security. this amendment is a commonsense addition to the national defense authorization act, i think representative landrigan for his leadership and i heard a yes vote. with that ideal back. >> ms. r

but they come across the bridging in langley about devastating information about a foreign power literally took so long? >> well, i would disagree that it took long. >> well, you -- >> it was a mobilizing picture that john brennan and others presented to us, and there was a point in late summer, early fall when the picture became crystal clear. at that point, we felt we had to tell the american public what was going on, and that involves a lot of things. you've got to think about whether you're compromising sources and methods by doing that. you've got to think about the effect of injecting ourselves into the campaign. you've got to think about and anticipate what the russian reaction will be. you've got to think about the fact that one of the candidates is already saying the election is going to be rigged. and so, it's not like waking up one morning and issuing a tweet. we thought very carefully at the national security council level about what we needed to do. and tat the end of the day, we recognized we had to tell the american public what was going on. >> i understand the hesitancy to

>> the early carriers initially there was a carrier called the langley, that actually was modified. it was a coal ship. and it was modified and then modified again to basically become a sea plane tender. but one of the things the washington naval conference of 1921 gave permission to -- there were a lot of exceptions. they gave permission to the united states to build two carriers on what were basically battleship hulls at that point. the battleships everybody said, let's not build anymore battleships, but by the way we have these two hulls, what are we going to do with those. those basically became the early two carriers of lexington and saratoga. now after that, i think you need to give -- franklin roosevelt and to some extent people like admiral king who were pushing for naval aviation. i think you need to give roosevelt credit that even as soon as his election and inauguration in 1933 he's beginning to turn back this 20s isolationism and do things like put more money into the navy. and begin to buildships like that. certainly aircraft carriers, enterprise, ranger, yorktown, come
