i want to turn to manu raju on capitol hill. what's the white house saying about this meeting? >> reporter: the white house is saying about the meeting that it was the president's chance to have an opportunity and an audience with these senators and he came in with a full plate of things to talk about. and i am told that he spent most of the time essentially fi filibustering, talking about the 2018 agenda, the potential historic summit with kim jong un next month in singapore and talking about the 2018 mid-term elections and other parts of the agenda. he was not coming in to talk about john mccain. he didn't mention him at all and he wasn't asked about it. so the white house is seeing this as a sign that this is still something that republican senators seem to finda li it a easier to criticize the president from afar. up close, that did not happen. we saw paul ryan and kevin mccarthy coming over here to the white house i'm told to have a meeting on immigration. clearly the agenda is at issue but no one in the room pressed the president on it. i think the white house would sugge

i want to turn now to cnn senior congress an correspondent manu raju. he's on capitol hill.ldn't be more different from the senate intelligence committee compared to the house intelligence committee, both republican led, manu. >> reporter: that's right. the leaders of the senate intelligence committee say the intelligence community's assessment from 2017 that vladimir putin orchestrated a cyber coampaign with the intention of helping donald trump win the presidency is accurate. that's the review of several republicans on the senate intelligence committee. senator richard burr put out a statement after a hearing with several former obama officials about how this assessment was put together and burr said this in his statement, "committee staff have spent 14 months reviewing the sources, tradecraft and analytic work and weep see no reason to dispute the conclusions." that's different than what the house committee republicans said. they believe the intelligence agencies did not do a good job in evaluating this and ultimately disputed the assertion that putin was trying to help t

manu raju is joining us live. haspel super ignored you there.lear that she heard your question. the president though is publicly supporting haspel on twitter. what is the sentiment there on capitol hill? >> reporter: well, right now it is uncertain whether or not she will get the votes to be confirmed largely because that confirmation hearing is wednesday, it will be pivotal in determining whether or not she gets the votes to become confirmed because already there is one republican senator rand paul of kentucky who said that he will vote against her. they will need democratic support in order to push her own the finish line. joe manchin after he left the 45 minute meeting with gina haspel said that he is very open minded and he is a moderate democratic senator, possible other moderate democrats do support her as well, but one big fight is over records. records over three decade career at the cia, there is a significant push to declassify some of these records about her role including for some democratic critics on the committee like ron widen of

manu raju has the story, the scoop on the hill. what are you hearing?reporter: a letter just sent by gina haspel to mark warner, the top democrat in the committee tries to go into a little more detail about her views about enhanced interrogation techniques, very harsh interrogation techniques, people, things that people here call torture, like waterboarding and after hearing last week, she got a lot of criticism by not denouncing waterboarding as immoral. in this letter we obtained, she goes further than she did in the hearing by saying that this was actually a very wrong tactic. she says this, while i won't condemn those that made those hard calls, and i have noted the valuable intelligence collected, the program ultimately did damage to our officers in our standing in the world, with the benefit of hindsight and my experience as a senior agency leader, the enhanced interrogation program is not one the cia should have undertaken. poppy, remember in the hearing last week, not only did she not say it was immoral, she did in a sense defend the use of thos

that brings me to our senior congressional correspondent manu raju. and you have breaking news.ell me what you know. >> the senate intelligence committee has been the main committee investigating russia meddling and they've avoided the pitfalls like in the house intelligence committee. we're learning where some of the members on the committee fall on that key question they've been investigating for more than a year, whether the trump associates and trump campaign in any way colluded with the russians. my colleague interviewed virtually every member on that economy. we're learning that the division still comes down along party lines despite more than a year of investigation, republicans saying they haven't seen any effort of collusion, the democrats are saying there's plenty of information and the committee needs to dig deeper pap committee source says there is consensus about whether or not there were those problematic contacts within the trump campaign and the russians but the investigation needs to continue about whether or not there is actually collusion that occurred in 2016

manu ra gee, does a great job by the way.egations of the complaints they were held against jackson were vaultlidat in that. looks like there was a story that corroborated the fact, there were some of the allegations and that was correct. i did my job, aircraft senat eve ability to seek the truth. if you're seeking the truth then you're covered. if you're not seeking the truth or if you're fractionalizing the truth and twisting the facts that's something else. but i don't think that was done. >> since he defended senator tester yesterday he has heard nothing negative about that from the white house. he said that with doctor jackson no longer in the running to be va secretary his committee and investigation is now over. >> gary tucker thanks. time to hand it over to don lemon. "cnn tonight" starts now. see you tomorrow. >>> this is "cnn tonight" thyme don lemon. another night of multiple big stories and we're following all of them for you in breaking news. president trump's lawyers are preparing for a show down with robert muel

manu, they said they did and then didn't. what happened? did they wimp out? me they just ran out of time because the president talked extensively and only allowed time for two questions. one was about immigration. another about projecting unity in messaging heading into the election year. republicans didn't get a chance to ask him these questions about the mccain aide and about the concerns over this chinese firm. now after this meet, we had a chance to ask these senators why they decided not to press this subject with trump. >> u why you choose and what -- i don't recall. >> did you talk about trade? >> i can't remember whether we discussed this issue. i don't think we did. >> no, we just had a couple of questions. >> he just covered a whole range of subjects. it was there for well over an hour. and we you know, i was on focused on the egg and others were on e inning thing is. just a litany of things we covered. that was one we didn't get to. >> and instead, this was a very jovial meeting. he would campaign everywhere. also made several jokes talk uing about

. >> manu raju is live with us. did she clarify that at all? >> reporter: she came back to me afterwards and tried to say that, well, that russia tried to sow discord on both sides. and i said do you believe that russia tried to help donald trump win the presidency and she would not answer directly. >> what we have seen the russians do is attempt to manipulate public confidence on both sides, right? we've seen them encourage people to go to a protest on one side, we've seen them simultaneously go to the same protest on the other side. so i think what they are trying to do in my opinion and i defer to the intel community is to disrupt our own understanding of what is happening. it is an integrity issue of who is saying what and why. and how that may or may not affect an american's behavior in what they believe. >> but it did say that putin tried to -- orchestrated a cyber campaign with the intention of helping donald trump. do you have any disagreement with that? >> i do believe that russia did and will continue to try to manipulate america's pe

manu, you're hearing about new details what mark meadows and jim jordan are asking rosenstein for. >>hat's right. we are learning that private meeting last month, meadows and jim jordan asked rosenstein to provide a key document, an august memo that detailed the scope of the mueller investigation. that memo was turned over earlier this year, but it was heavily redacted and the details of what mueller was allowed to investigate are not known to the public. both meadows and jordan demanded that they get access to that document that's something that rod rosenstein resisted in that private meeting according to jordan. we're learning now that the justice department said no to that request officially. that comes as both meadows and jordan, other house republicans are demanding scores of documents, thousands and thousands of documents that they believe may show some impropriety in how the fbi handled the clinton e-mail investigation and the russia investigation. so far, the justice department has turned over documents, but not to the satisfaction of these republicans and certainly not to the

let's get out to manu. >> reporter: the big headline is the disagreement that the senate intelligenceith the house intelligence committee. they both investigated what happened in 2016. the intelligence community concluded that there was a cyber campaign orchestrated by vladamir putin to help president trump become president trump. now, the house intelligence committee republicans said they disputed the analytical trade craft behind that assessment, saying there was no real way to verify that putin was trying to help trump become president. the senate chairman just put out a statement, saying "we see no reason to dispute the conclusions of that january 2017 assessment," much different than what the house republicans have been saying. john, i've been talking to republicans on this committee, including senator john corn b, who told me that assessment from 2017 was well done. so you're seeing a difference in the approach here. expect a report about what they concluded about how that assessment came together in a matter of days, john. >> manu, appreciate that. let's bring into the room, th

"horribleed the deal and one-sided." >> at the point when the united states had maximum leverage, this disastrous deal gave this it is a regime of great terror, many billions of dollars, some of it in actual cash. a great embarrassment to me as a citizen and to all citizens of the united states. i ordered the iranian atomic energy organization to be ready for action if needed so that if necessary, we can begin our industrial enrichment without any limitations. until implementation of this decision, we will wait for some weeks and hold talks with friends and all

let's go to our correspondent manu raju.wmakers are scrambling to figure out who gets to go to this highly classified briefing. >> and tension is rising on capitol hill about this briefing. just earlier today, one democrat who sits on the house intelligence committee actually approached the house intelligence chairman devin nunes and told him, he wants democrats to also attend the meeting and devin nunes replied, according to racastro, i'm not going to play that game. not answering whether or not democrats should bea -- be allowed to come to the briefing. the person to come to the briefing with senior administration officials is trey gowdy, the congressman from south carolina. i asked him on multiple occasions whether democrats will attend and he said it is up to devin nunes and something that devin nunes is not saying whether or not democrats should be allowed to come. now at the same time, several republicans are demanding that they should also take part in this meeting, including chuck grassley, the judiciary chairman and
