mark warner: this is clearly a problem area. stephen: senator mark warner of virginia is ranking member on the select committee on intelligence. he believes we've exposed a loophole that is a risk to national security. mark: many of these shell companies, we don't have any ability to pierce that veil. we need that information not just in terms of the f-1 visa program, but candidly against potential terrorist financing, crime, other national security threats as well. stephen: which brings us back to john fong yang's home in mountain view. remember he promised to talk to us while we were standing in a parking lot at his other workplace. stephen: why did you have f-1 visa workers? where do you want to meet? stephen: yong would not answer or even give us a time or place to meet.mpl? did they pay you? john: no, no, no; sorry, i think you're too aggressive. stephen:te, got in his car and drove away, and we never heard from him again. stephen: we also reached out to the people listed as company officials and all those other businesses

we heard frorom senator mark warner on the senate intelligence committee.e is saying that the prpresidet has seselected a person who does not have enough intelligence experience. this has been reiterated by many critics particularly within the democrats. also, they have said he has been handed this position guess he is a staunch trump loyalist and he has been very vocal for his conservative views. for that reason, it is not a good appointment because he is not going to be neutral in his new position as -- the white house has come out saying that richard grenell will take a nonpartisan approach. brent: we also understand that richard grenell is going to be the acting head of national intelligence. does that mean he is going to be there temporarily or is this a permanent move? >> in fact, he even said it himself. he tweeted earlier saying he was the acting intelligence director and the president trump would announce the nominee for the job soon. essentially, it was not richard grgrenell. it has also been reported that republicans wanted to nominate someone wh

at the same time at all mark warner was in paris attending the opening of the international agricultural show where he was meeting with industry representatives a group of yellow vest activists turned up at the event and began heckling the president accusing him of being a dictator. it was. eric drew a one of the social movements most prominent figures was among the protesters he tried to approach mark on the floor he was forcibly removed by security and subsequently taken into police custody. i wanted to express my dissatisfaction to emanuel macro and we've been trying to talk to him for months but it's difficult he only talks to people who are happy with him not the other way round and here we are people who are unhappy with his 5 year term and we are not even able to approach him. the president later promised to meet with representatives of the yellow vests after many months of refusing to do so r.t. france spoke to one of the group's coordinators about the incident. well this is yet another manifestation of the authoritarianism of this government i mean eric dreher like any normal ci

it's very interesting to hear from particularly democrats in fact one in particular that senator mark warner he's the top democrat on the senate intelligence committee and he said the president a selected an individual with any intelligence experience to serve as the leader of the nation's intelligence community in an acting capacity and now also critics of this appointment have said that it's been handed to ambassador grinnell because he's a staunch trump loyalist who has been particularly vocal in his calls for a conservative empowerment and for reasons. you know it's very clear that he's not going to be very unusual in his position as the acting intelligence chief which is another reason for a lot of this criticism. but the white house has said the colonel will actually take a non partisan approach brant. public holiday leo's on the story in washington probably think you. well here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world roger stone the longtime advisor and ally of u.s. president donald trump has been sentenced to 40 months in prison for 7 counts of lyin

reason for this is down to his apparent lack of relevant experience we heard from a top senator mark warner he's on the senate intelligence committee and he was saying that you know the president a selected person who just simply doesn't have enough intelligence experience and this is something that's been reiterated by many critics particularly within the democrats also they've said that he's being handed this position essentially because he's a staunch trump loyalist and he's also been very vocal for his conservative views and for that reason it's not a good appointment because you know he's not going to be neutral in his new position as the acting intelligence committee now the white house is in fact come out saying that grenell in fact will take a non partisan approach we understand the ridge good know is going to be the acting head of national intelligence so does that mean he's going to be there just on a temporary basis or is this a problem that we know. well well in fact he even said it himself he tweeted actually earlier saying that he was the acting intelligence director and that

going to mean, that means in a state that so values, i think of the great work of my good friend mark warnereginning and calling it out on the intelligence side , that means, that means actually renegotiating ourselves back into international agreements . we got the new start treaty with russia that point, right away in a new president's term. renegotiating our self back into the iranian agreements when this president has made us so much less safe. it means standing up and actually, when you're going to make threats, there's that old saying in foreign policy, keep your promises and keep your threats. this president does neither. as i noted in the debate he goes off and thinks he can have a hastily called summit with kim jong-il and things with no deliverable and no allies on our side, he's going to produce something. course hedoesn't, there's no launching missiles . so the office, i have this council on foreign relations you should watch about the five cars , the one personwho saw it . that is, that is renewing our leadership around the world. that is preparing our alliances and instead of s

>> well, as senator mark warner, vice chairman of the senate intelligence committee, who would be themmittee for a confirmation hearing as he tweeted, what's changed? you know the point being that nothing has changed since last july, i don't know that he's accrued any more qualifications, and there certainly was bipartisan blowback from the hill when his name was first floated last summer. >> director it was only last week that the president named ric grenell to be his -- this is going to bolster ratcliffe's nomination. what does it say about both of these guys? >> well, that's kind of a low bar for somebody being more appealing, you know, less provocative. and to me they're both kind of in the same category, they're both highly partisan politicians, and not particularly -- and don't have any particular professional qualifications that i think would make them suited to be director of national intelligence. so, you know, in that sense it doesn't make a whole lot of difference. i do think -- i'm speculating here, there may be some complication with what the federal vacancy act because a

on the senate intelligence committee, senator mark warner says credit agencies must be held to a higherard. >> so my theory, if we don't have some level of civil penalty, they can bake this into the cost of doing business. their stock got hit briefly but it is basically fully recovered. we're a couple years after the fact. they paid no financial penalty. reporter: his argument is, there wasn't enough pain for the company so think could do it again. in fact equifax settled with the ftc. it was announced last summer for $575 million. most of that for credit monitoring. in fact, judge just four weeks ago approved that settlement. now the appeal process starts. so equifax is actually not paid a dime of any fines so far. they are offering though that credit monitoring. the four individuals by the way, they are not known, their whereabouts. they could possibly never be brought to trial. back to you. liz: edward lawrence, thank you for your reporting. okay, secretary of state mike pompeo warning the nation's governors on the dangers of china. that china is now monitoring all 50 governors and a

he, too, had been ambassador to germany, a small coincidence but there are critics of mark warner whol doesn't have the right mix of experience in the intelligence world to take on a job of this magnitude. yes, he worked at the u.n. been a part of the diplomatic corps but not the intelligence operative or management experience that they say is needed. that did not stop the president who will be making this position effective immediately and grenell tweeted today he does expect the president will be choosing someone for a longer term period because these acting roles are time limited. katy? >> nbc's kelly o'donnell, thank you very much. >>> one more thing when we come back live from las vegas at the strip. during wayfair's mattress markdowns event save up to 65% off top mattress brands. now through february 24th. score extra savings on mattresses from tempurpedic, serta, beautyrest and sealy, starting at just $399! kick back and relax while we do all the heavy lifting. because every single mattress ships free! you don't want to snooze on these deals. shop now through february 24th. onl

i know that mark warner shares the concerns that i have at least as it pertains to the information that i thought should properly be shared with the rest of the senate. but i can't speak for senator burr. >> chairman adam schiff who led the house managers in the impeachment inquiry and has deserved a little r & r at this point. thank you for everything that you have done in addition to your day job over these last weeks and months. thank you for helping us understand it along the way. we really appreciate it. >> all right. we've got a lot more to get to. we just got in some new numbers from iowa and steve kornacki will walk us through that. will walk us through that. saturdays happen. pain happens. aleve it. aleve is proven stronger and longer on pain than tylenol. when pain happens, aleve it. all day strong. and my lack of impulse control,, is about to become your problem. ahh no, come on. i saw you eating poop earlier. my focus is on the road, and that's saving me cash with drivewise. a nation divided by an angry, out of control president. a white house beset by lies, chaos and corrup

that is senator mark warner from virginia wrapping up his ten minute speech.ins is on the floor, the senate, we will bring you there live in a moment. ben cardin out of maryland live on the hill. thank you for being here, senator. thank you for your time. you have a good sense already for how tomorrow is going to turn out, what do democrats accomplish through this process? >> well, bill, the house of representatives has sole power on impeachment. i believe they thought they had no option but to pursue impeachment charges against the president, that that is a constitutional responsibility. i don't think it was political. i think they felt that it was something they had to do under the constitution. they felt passionately about it. and as i listen to the house managers present their case, it was coming from a passionate belief that the president's conduct was clearly across the line that they establish the facts, and many senators on both sides of the aisle agree that the president's conduct was wrong, and that abuse of power is a fundamental principle in which

jeff, the democratic senator -- the vice chairman of the senate intelligence committee, mark warner,liff. he tweeted the last time in nomination was unsuccessfully put forward, serious bipartisan questions were raised about representative radcliff's equ equalifications. >> there will be democratic opposition. i think what's changed is that donald trump was acquitted in the senate and he's decided that all he cares about is loyalty, not competence, not experience, not qualifications. radcliff was rejected in a bipartisan way because -- largely because he lied during his campaign. none of that has changed. but, you know, he -- the president has a very, you know, malleable republican majority in the senate and they do what he says and i suspect they'll do what he says here. >> what does the decision for the president to nominate radcliff for a second time tell you. >> radcliff is wildly unqualified for this position. he has next to zero background in national security or intel issues. he tried to puff himself up and say when he was a federal prosecutor he had been involved in prosecutio

. >> so mark warner, of course, the ranking democrat on the senate intelligence committee, you know,s about this appointment. i wond ir if it's telling that the republican chairman of the committee, richard burr, spokes person for him, had no comment on this, sam. >> it's quite telling but i think it's something we likely should have assumed. republican members of congress have stayed silent whenever the president has made a poor personnel pick. part of the reason that grenell will be an acting dni and not a nominated dni is because our reporting shows that many republican members of congress likely would not have agreed with his nomination if he had to go forward with a confirmation. but the truth is that, at this point, we have to consider that from trump's perspective, inexperience is a virtue when it comes with his cabinet picks. as a dni, you are responsible for upholding the ethics of the intelligence community, including speaking truth to power. and we know that something that president trump does not like from his cabinet officials or from members of congress or anyone else.

mark warner, the top democrat on the senate intel panel, says the president has elected an individualhout any intelligence experience to serve as the leader of the intelligence community. this is the second acting director the president has named to that role since the resignation of dan coats. apparently in an effort to sidestep the senate's constitutional authority to advise and consent on such critical national security positions." bottom line, they think the president is putting in somebody favorable to him but is going to be unaccountable. >> wait a minute, we've seen what happens in the senate with the confirmation process pay look at what they did to judge kavanaugh. why should trump, who knows he will have trouble getting people confirmed and are going to have people rake through the coals for no reason whatsoever than partisan political reasons in an election year, i think trump is doing the right thing. he's confirmed by the senate to be the ambassador to germany. as far as experience, horsefeathers! that is just ridiculous. ric grenell is one of the most experienced foreign
