liu who said and i quote you didn't charge the president because of the olc opinion. that is not the correct way to say it. as we say in the report and as i said at the opening, we did not reach a determination as to whether the president committed a crime. >> evan, liu's question at first was clear. answer was shocking. it appeared to be a bombshell. it wasn't a minor answer. >> no. no. as you said it was a clear question. i can tell you right after that answer and certainly when they took a break there were a lot of phone calls being made between the special skounl's team between mueller's team on the justice department saying what the hell just happened? and the decision was made that he he needed to clean it up, come back and fix it because the justice department certainly on march 5th there was a briefing mueller's team on bill barr who had just taken office and during that meeting one of the deputies there said specifically it wasn't a but for. at least three times during that meeting. >> right it was but for no edition, right not but for no charge. >> there is

first it's the back and forth with congressman ted liu in part one of the hearing.hat's number three byte, guys. >> you did not indict donald trump is because of olc opinion stating that you cannot indict a sitting president, correct? >> that is correct. >> now before we go to questions, i want to add one correction to my testimony this morning. i want to go back to one thing that was said this morning by mr. liu who said, and i quote you didn't charge the president because of the olc opinion. that is not the correct way to say it. as we say in the report and as i said at the opening we did not reach a determination as to whether the president committed a crime. >> you know, pete, we were all actually around the table wondering if mueller heard both parts of liu's question. and we wondered whether he was saying what we thought liu thought he said and of course ends up walking that back. >> i think there were several examples of that today. and just to be clear the olc's opinion is of course a factor, the one that says you can't indict a sitting president. but it is

liu. he said and i quote, you didn't charge the president because of the olc opinion. that is not the correct way to say it. as we say in the report, and as i said at the option, we did not reach a determination as to whether the president committed a crime. >> so a cleanup there, it seemed as though in the earlier hearing, that robert mueller had said something. the democrats were excited about. but he walked it back and he's back where the report is which is to say that before they could ever make a conclusion about whether or not they thought the president obstructed justice, they knew that they would not be able to indict him, so they never even reached a conclusion. but there was some news and some illumination that took place during the beginning of the house intelligence committee hearing, at the top of it, adam schiff from california, asked some probing questions, basically trying to make the case that even if there was no prosecutable evidence of conspiracy between the trump team and russia, there were things that happened that were wrong. take a listen. >> an

think it's very much it within that in that tone and to be on the internal affairs question ambassador liu in london that press conference that he held he also said that under british rule people in hong kong cannot elect their own representatives they could not elect their own leaders it was britain that appointed governors people could not go out onto the streets to demonstrate and then they accused britain of being potentially hypocritical by talking about democracy in that that a tree do the chinese have a point there well the hypocrisy argument is always it's always a slightly difficult one obviously for the british because they run they round the territory and the crown colony as it was then using governors as they did elsewhere in the british empire and towards the end of british rule in 1907 they did try to implement more democracy under reforms to make reparation greater representation for the hong kong people and i think the british tend to pointed out when when china makes these accusations i think myself that hypocrisy is probably a strong word given that britain i think was tr

jun bei liu speaking to me earlier.ousands of protesters have again taken to the city streets and the latest demonstration has seen the return of violent clashes with police. there is growing signs companies are starting to move money out of the financial hub to other locations in the region. earlier i asked an expert from the american chamber of commerce in hong kong about business sentiment in the city. not surprisingly pessimism is starting to seep in, especially in terms of short—term risk. the longer these protests go on, the more worried people will become and what businesses are saying now is they would like to see tangible and immediate action by the government. that's seen as very important. are they looking to move their operations from hong kong to elsewhere? for instance, we've heard singapore might be a big any fishery and possibly even shanghai. the direct answer to that is no but people are looking at their options —— beneficiary. if the government can step in and make sure businesses realise they can con

liu, who said, and i quote, you didn't charge the president because of the olc opinion?hat is not the correct way to say it. as we say in the report, and as i said at the opening we did not reach a determination as to whether the president committed a crime. reporter: republicans on both committees called into question like things like the steele dossier, fusion gps were left out of mueller's report. they asked if that was mueller's decision or someone asked him to leave it out? >> did anyone ask you to exclude anything from your report that you felt should been in the report? >> i don't think so but, it is not a small report. >> no one asked you specifically to exclude something that you believe should have been in there? >> not that i recall, no. reporter: there was an exchange about the power to exonerate with congressman michael turner moments ago where turner pressed mueller on if the attorney general even has the power to exonerate, if they don't have that power, why mueller decided to make a point to include in his letter to attorney general bill barr that his rep

liu was asking you questions. i quote, the reason you didn't indict the president is because of the olc opinion. you answered, that is correct. but that is not what you said in the report, and it's not what you told attorney general barr. in fact, in a joint statement that you released with doj on may 29th after your press conference, your office issued a joint statement with the department of justice that said, the attorney general has previously stated that the special counsel repeatedly affirmed that he was not saying that but for the olc opinion, he would have found the president obstructed justice. the special counsel's report in his statement today made clear that the office concluded it would not reach a determination one way or the other, whether the president committed a crime. there is no conflict between these statements. so mr. mueller, do you stand by your joint statement with doj that you issued on may 29th as you sit here today? >> i would have to look at it more closely before i said i agree. >> we

liu who said "you didn't charge the president because of the olc opinion." that's not the correct way to say it. as we say in the report and as i said at the opening, we did not reach a determination as to whether the president committed a crime. >> where they concentrated on obstruction of justice, they concentrated on the russian attack on our election. >> director, who did the russian social media campaign ultimately intend to benefit. hillary clinton or donald trump? >> donald trump. >> donald trump, october 31st, 2016, boy, i love reading the wikileaks. do any of those quotes disturb you, mr. director? >> i'm not sure i would say -- >> how do you react? >> it's problematic is an under statement in terms of what it displays in terms of giving some -- i don't know, hope or a boost to what is and should be illegal activity. >> i want to focus on the written responses that the president provided to lie and cover up what happened during the 2016 election. where were the president's answers committed under oath? >> yes. >> what did you determine about the pre

how does liu brooklyn on dealing with that? -- libra plan on dealing with that? >> there are lots of countries that have the problems you highlighted and do not have currency controls that we can address right away. for other countries it will be on a country by country approach. any wallet on top of the libra network will be interactive with one another. to provide the value we intend we do not need to be the only wallet and in certain regions it will be other wallets but we would still benefit. >> i thought that was an interesting conversation with my friend from new york about the exclusivity of the wallet, calibra wallet in whatsapp. -- would100 members debit and credit system available as a wallet? >> we will have a number of other payment methods for facebookon the platform or instagram as well including debit, credit cards and other wallets. as far as p2p payments there will be more. >> there will be competition on p2p payments even on facebook applications? >> there will be on traditional currencies in the same way that within messenger you can currently

also with me, cabinet secretary and assistant to the president, chris liu. what is the latest.t seems like there is negotiations between the fantasies of the president and the realities of what it would actually mean. where have we ended up? >> really the negotiations are still going on which is interesting. there was an expectation that it was going to be resolved, but the president who came public about this after we reported it this morning that he wanted tanks and other armored vehicles on the mall and a stationary position around the lincoln memorial is indicating that this will go ahead, but our understanding is that people are still evaluating to what extent you can have these heavy pieces of equipment we are talking about more than 60 tons for the abrams tanks positioned on the national mall without damaging what is obviously part of the national park system. while we certainly do expect that at this point there will be some of the equipment on the mall for the fourth of july. there is still a question of how you can do this safely without damaging park resources. >> ch

that robert mueller came back and clarified that he did not intend to be saying to congressman ted liu that absent the office of legal counsel restrictions he would have proceeded and prosecuted the president. he said he never reached that point because they never investigated that. >> that's right. mr. mueller came back and corrected that. and that in fact was something that president trump jumped on last week -- excuse me i keep saying last week -- earlier this week. >> it fields lieels like a week >> exactly. president trump used that construction to sort of negate a lot of the things that mr. mueller had said during that testimony. but i guess my impression also, andrea, from what the democrats who were just speaking was their message is we are not moving on. the white house may have moved oner on, others have moved on but we're going to keep pursuing. >> jeff bennett, the president has done his best to brand right away coming out on the south lawn and talking to all of you immediately after mueller's testimony concluded that that does not comport with the facts of what mueller rep
