luke harding, thank you for being with us. let's take a look at the day's other news. zimbabwe's incoming president emmerson mnangagwa is urging residents to remain patient and peaceful and not to take part in the vengeful retribution against robert mugabe. mr. mnangagwa will be sworn in as president on friday. the un's refugee agency has urged australia to find a solution to the plight of refugees and asylum-seekers at a close detention center in papua new guinea. it comes after police moved about 40 people from an australian-run center. 300 others remain and refuse to go to new transit centers. u.s. republican joe barton has apologized for an explicit nude photograph of him which has been circulating widely on social media, but he isn't resigning. the 60-year-old texas politician said, "i'm sorry i did not use better judgment, sorry i let my constituents down." it is the largest photograph album in the united states, and a shared window into the past. the so-called anonymous project has embarked on a mission to compile and conserve as much slide photography as they c

luke harding, thank you very much.ou've been writing about this issue for a long time, more than most journalists. the issue around the dossier is about veracity. that's what everybody's opinion of it hinges on. do we believe this guy christopher steele? the critics of it want to sully it by discussing who paid for it, and even that's a bit confusing. you know him. you have met christopher steele. you've researched this. what is your evaluation of his claim of the truthfulness and veracity of this reporting? >> i think he's broadly credible. he says this is not a perfect document but he thinks, as he said in the introduction, 70 to 90% accurate. the sources he used for this, the sources he had used before. this come from the moon, they're people who are reliable, have a good track history, and informed the dossier he did previously on the war in ukraine. we don't know who they were but i find him professional and he's been studying russia for 30 years. >> the idea is that he has been a spy, he has been an intelligence

. >>> we're going to talk to luke harding, and author of the new book "collusion." you know what that's about. he's got the story, that's ahead. >>> when trump called senator elizabeth warren pocahontas, she was -- was he propping her up for a presidential run in 2020? it looked like he was building her up. senator warren is here tonight to talk about that. >>> and donald trump campaign, like a -- he's looking out for the donors, look at the trump tower tax cut. a total giveaway, the top 1%, it would hurt people who voted for trump, yet trump and the republicans may yet get it passed. >>> trump watch, you won't like this one, this is hardball, where the action is. from our family to yours... may all your wishes come true this holiday season. >>> north korea has defied the international community. the missile was fired east and appears to have landed in the sea of japan, the country's first launch in more than two months, a week after the trump administration declared north korea a state sponsor of terrorism and imposed strikt new sanctions against the regime. the pr

so, john, i want to now turn to the russian investigation with you and play you what luke harding, a journalist, who interviewed christopher steele before the dossier became public what he said to me about having compromising information on the president. here it is. >> some of this when you have donald trump saying russia if are you listening, find the e-mails, which are not there. you have a long history of engagement. trump first visited moscow in the summer of 1987, who invited him? the soviet government we can say without exaggerating the kgb has a huge file on donald trump. they are interested in his weaknesses and exploiting that. >> do you think the mueller team has this huge file, has a sense of everything that luke harding has written about in his book? >> reporter: without a doubt. and, look, as that interview showed, there is so much now that is in plain sight. the contacts, the financial information, look at richard engel's story yesterday about the trump ocean club in panama. this is somebody who has had financial interactions with russia and russians over a very long p

but i should say i agree with what luke harding was saying there. a lot of this was in plain sight. donald trump didn't make any secret he was modern history, democrat or republican, that was on ts table. what hasn't been proven though is donald trump intentionally colluded with the russians to interfere in the election. tan that is still a matter of investigation. and mueller is methodically going about his business of trying to get witnesses to tell what they know about that, when it's paul manafort or michael flynn and whoever else under scrutiny, and whether the president obstructed justice. but in terms of this fundamental question what did donald trump know, did he cooperate or collude with the russians, that is it still unanswered. >> what i want you to address is, are any one of the congressional investigations now going to say we must have an open hearing with jared kushner? >> that could be. we don't know about the latter part of that question. i think at some point there will be public hearings. but i think while it's true there is no dispositive final question on the que

i want to play for you what luke harding, as you know he's a journal ist who interviewed christopher steele before the trump dossier became public. what he said to me about having compromise information on president trump. >> i think glenn is highly confident that the dossier is right. he's taken a lot of flak and fire for how it came about. i think in a way that's missing the point. it's not about process, it's not about who paid for the dossier. the question is did donald trump and his team collude with russia. and i think the more we know, the more certain we can be to say yes, actually they did. a lot of secret meetings is the title of my book and each week we learn of more interactions. of course this is what the kgb does. they try and penetrate, they try and target, they try and cultivate for their own purposes. >> look, i know you can't tell us exactly what was said, but did you leave your meeting with glenn simpson believing more significantly that russia has compromising information on president trump? >> alex, i left that meeting thinking i had just spent the most unbelieva

luke harding, a long time guardian journal itseist. wrote an excerpt on trump and russia.d a big role in helping set up that visit that trump made in 1987. they were trying to cultivate americans as agents. there's no indication they were successful with trump, but for example, he stayed in one of a top hotel room in russia that lennon stayed in 80 years before. one that was definitely bugged. so the theory of the case is that mueller and his investigation, they're also looking at some of trump's past history with russia as well. >> incredibly fascinating. before you go, sneak peek in what you're covering in playbook today. >> highlighting an important story about how the u.s. citizen and immigration service, they are cracking down on h 1 visas, for high skilled workers. used to bo the companies would submit applications for people to get hired for their companies, but now it's much harder and this is part of steven miller's crack down on immigration. even legal immigration. it's not just that border wall that we're all still waiting for it to get constructed on the mexica

thats the new book coming out from luke harding. and saying christopher steel was interviewed for this book. the individual who had written that dossier that we've been talking about. he was saying he believes 70 to 90% of it is accurate. admitting i guess that even though he put it together, some of it was not fully attributable. >> well, sure. this dossier that's been kick ing around for over a year, i mean, this is essentially opposition research. this is an intelligence projedu for lack of a bter word. some amount of it is verifiable. some amount of it is not. i don't think anybody should take it as gospel. i don't think the most se lashs things in there has been verified. >> do you think 70 to 90 is too big of a number? do you think it's actually believable? >> i mean, you know, i don't know. the u.s. government has, we know the government has kroeb rated some stuff. but none of the stuff that is the you know, the big salacious stuff, i haven't seen that kroeb rated. >> thank you so much. have a good sunday and holiday. >> than

. >> i want to take a listen to luke harding, a journalist and author. he was interviewed earlier by a colleague of mine. take a listen. >> you say that researches led you to ask whether or not moscow was blackmailing president trump. what made you suspicious of that? >> it's in plain sight when you have drud on the campaign trail saying russia, if you're listening, find the 30,000 e-mails. but you also have a long history of engagement. trump first visited moscow in 2007 and who invited him? the soviet government. and who organized his travel? a soviet agency which is basically the kgb. in other words, we can say without exaggerating that the kgb has a huge file on donald trump nep a trump. they are interested in explo exploiting his psychological weaknesses. >> what is your reaction and would you go so far as to use the word blackmail? >> i think i agree that the kgb and then the russian security police would have had a file on president trump. and those who worked with him. i think it's a great leap to make some conclusion that there was collusion inv

here's what luke harding, the author of the new book "collusion: collusion, dirty money and how the russianselped donald trump win told me about his findings. >> in your writes you said research led you to ask whether or not moscow was mailing president trump. what made you suspicious of that? >> i think so much of the story is in plain sight, saying, russia, if you're listening, find the 33,000 e-mails, which are not there. you also have a long history of engagement. trump first visited moscow in the summer of 1987 and who invited him? the soviet government. they don't do that for everybody. who organized his trial? a soviet agency that is basically the kgb. we can say without exaggerating that they have a huge file on trump. they're interested in his psychological weaknesses and exploiting that. >> do you have a sense of any kind of information they were able to obtain from bugging, following, tailing, everything? >> what's so fascinating, this is my favorite chapter of the book. a whole series of memos from that period from the head of the kgb to his guys, including in washington and new

joining me now, luke harding, the author of that book called "collusion: secret meetings, dirty moneyrump win" and a foreign correspondent for the guardian. thank you for coming by on this friday afternoon. you write in your book in part, quote, a lot of this content was verified or proven up. as steele told friends, i've been dealing with this country for 30 years. why would i invent this stuff? what does steele make of the president's attacks on his work? >> well, i mean, i can't speak for christopher steele but i think it's fair to say he's less than impressed and the sources behind the trump dossier were the same sources he used for other different projects. he did a series of reports of the war in ukraine and well received by the u.s. intelligence community. and even read by john kerry. same people. and he says -- he's confident that in time actually he'll be vindicated. >> we were talking before the segment about rob goldstone, he is this publicist that as of a few minutes ago according to exclusive nbc news reporting he's now going to be speaking to special counsel robert muell

i spoke with robin roberts this morning about how luke bryan has triumphed over adversity. >> it's hard to get back to 100, and you're always just trying to honor those who have passed, but i have to tell you, knowing -- knowing the loss that he's gone through, and how he wants to help others who may be in a similar situation, it's really heartwarming tonight. >> luke bryan says the best way to honor someone's memory is by living and that is exactly what he is doing now. he showed robin roberts around his farm, he's not only raising his own kids but also his sister's. you'll be able to get a much better look into the country star's life right here on abc 7 news. don't miss robin robert's country music special presentation "living every day." it's 10:00 tonight. kristen, back to you. >> i saw it on "gma." very inspiring story. thank you so much, jessica. >>> get your resume ready. a major company in the bay area is ready to hire and not just for the holidays. millions of iphone fans spent the weekend checking out their new phones, but this morning apple is responding to concerns about th
