rubio: he was rough on mccabe? >> he was rough -- by his own account, he said he was rough on mccabe and mrs. mccabe on the campaign trail. how's he going to be? and i assured the president, andy is a total pro, no issue at all. you've got to know the people of the fbi. they are not -- sen. rubio: so then the president turns to you and says, remember, i never brought up the mccabe thing. because you said he was a good guy. did you perceive that to be a statement that "i took care of you"? "i didn't do something because you told me he was a good guy"? so now, you know, "i'm asking you potentially for something in return"? is that how you perceived it? >> i wasn't sure what to make of it, honestly. that's possible, but it -- it was so out of context that i didn't have a clear view of what it was. sen. rubio: now on a number of occasions here, you bring up -- let's talk now about the general russia investigation, ok? in page 6 of your testimony, you say, the first thing you say is he asked what we could do to quote-un

you can see andrew mccabe, jean casarez, juliette kayyem and ryan young.ut before we go to this panel, i want you to take a listen to the update that local officials just gave within the last hour first of all, we do know that the city of new orleans was impacted by a terrorist attack. >> that's all. still under investigation. you'll hear more after me. however, i have been in direct contact with the white house, with governor landry, and, of course, a unified command who is present here. what i'm asking at this time are prayers for those who have lost their lives in the city of new orleans due to this tragedy, in addition to that, i'm asking the public to stay clear of eight blocks around bourbon street. stay clear from bourbon street, eight blocks around very active, and again a unified command is in place right now. i'm going to ask chief kirkpatrick to give you an update. you're then going to hear from our agent in charge relative to the fbi. so at this time, chief kirkpatrick, thank you. >> all right. good morning, everyone. so i'm going to give you a

director mccabe was fired by jeff sessions who noted mccabe lacked candor including had par taken unauthorized disclosure to the news media. other violations after a wide reaching investigation into deputy director mccabe's conduct. a myriad of d.o.j. and f.b.i. personnel have been fired, demoted or resign resigned clog. mccabe, chief of staff general council james baker, struck, page and f.b.i. special agent campbell and d.o.j. senior official orr, the assistant director. the d.o.j. failed to timely kphraeu with several document requests by congress providing members of congress with heavily redacted versions of some but not all the documents and offering members limited in person viewing is an inadequate response it repeated requests after months of delay. as i prepare it introduce my colleagues i would like to point out that while many in the media and american public have been trying to bring down the president without etched that he concluded with russia to win looks there's a ton of real misconduct that those same people have been attempting to completely sweep under the rug. i believe i

andrew mccabe let me bring you in here.do you think how important do you think it is that this report see the light of day, the january 6th piece? and do you think the fact that we're still not going to see she is blocking the section of the report related to the classified documents? case matters. >> i think i think yes, to both. in a way, casey, i think it's important. any time we have a special counsel who's been employed to look into a significant matter of national interest, that person is required to submit a report to the attorney general. and attorney generals have almost always turned those reports over to the public. i think following that tradition, this is certainly a both cases are matters of extreme public interest. and i think the report about the d.c. case should be turned over without any sort of delay, which would be immediately after midnight tonight. i think that's what we can expect. i understand the trump team is is saying that there's not much new here. and it is true that we've seen probably a lot. y

i believe we still have andrew mccabe and jean casarez.andrew, you know, we were talking about what this may or may not have been earlier in the morning, the local officials there clearly saying that this was an intentional act. >> yeah, danny. that's right. it was it was a i thought a bit surprising to see the police chief come out that strongly. she was unequivocal that this was an intentional act. she mentioned that, um, the perpetrator drove around their barricades in order to get to the crowd that he was apparently seeking, you know, trying to run over. um, so it's interesting. and then you had the, uh, representative from the fbi, the assistant special agent in charge say that they did not believe it was a terrorist attack. or or maybe they weren't ready to conclude that at this point. and it's i think it's important to note that there are distinctions there. you could have an intentional act that is criminal in nature by someone who's trying to hurt someone else, or a group of other people that is not connected to some sort of a ter

andrew mccabe, let me start with you. what are the next steps right now for the fbi and your former deputy director of the fbi, as they try to determine who the individuals placing these improvised explosive devices in the area are? >> absolutely, wolf. >> that is priority one for the fbi right now to identify and locate those individuals who they have captured in the surveillance video, placing the ied devices, which, which two, at least two of which have been rendered safe and therefore are probably providing the bureau with some evidence that they can use to compare to the device and the other evidence that's been recovered from the truck. and so they may have a solid forensic connection between the ieds, which would only confirm their suspicion that those three men and one woman are related to or working in concert with the driver of the truck. so that's the biggest potential threat. the bureau is probably focused on right now. and they are doing all the things that we have seen in these sorts of situations in the pas

andrew mccabe, evan perez, thanks so much. up next, the new orleans attacker is a u.s. citizen and an army veteran. so why are incoming trump administration officials trying to pin the blame on biden immigration policies? that's next. >> kobe believed in himself at the youngest possible age. >> it's one of the most remarkable stories in sports history. >> i want to be remembered as just a basketball player. >> kobe premieres january 25th on cnn. >> it's time to feed the dogs real food in the right amount. >> a healthy weight can help dogs live a longer, happier life. the farmer's dog makes weight management easy with fresh food. pre-portioned for your dog's needs. it's an idea whose time has come. >> this is the story of the one. the one knows the unexpected can put everything on the line, but with a teammate like ranger, she's confident that she will always win the day. call, click or just stop by granger for the ones who get it done. >> hey, honey. uh, looks like my to do list grew. >> paint the bathroom. give baxter a bath, get life insurance i have a few minutes. i

joined by andy mccabe.urprised to learn he visited new orleans twice and used meta smart glasses to videotape things without being noticed. >> yeah. absolutely. we got a lot of information out of that press conference yesterday. the details about his prior trips to new orleans in the months proceeding the attack with the additional detail of this reservation of the vehicle that he wanted to use for the attack six weeks before it occurred really opened up a different side of this attacker. it really shows him to be much more deeply engaged in a long- term operational planning cycle. initially the reports that he had driven to new orleans, essentially the evening before the attack, seemed to make it seem like a matter of haste or an emotional response to something. but that is not the case here. this guy really planned this thing out with -- with a meticulous and highly organized way. and i should say he employed some techniques here that seemed to go beyond his experience in the military. the composition of

andrew mccabe's wife was running for state senate at the time october 26 received $675,000 in donations from the democratic party and the leadership pac control to call on a longtime associate and by specter general noted october 27 of 2016 director calmly required deputy director from the conference call regarding the e-mails to avoid a conflict of interest and the questionable donations. further investigation into whether the director the release of these are politically motivated purposes is warranted. throughout the obama administration failed to fully investigate serious concerns surrounding president clinton and foundation of the iranian war. hillary clinton's tenure of family foundation by chairman made julian looking hundred $83000 in contributions to the clinton foundation. ... including whether federal departments and agencies such as a department of state and the fbi was looking into possible corruption before the deal is approved. the investigation conducted by the office of inspector general noted multiple with corrupt owners shut down august 2016. asserted on the fbi by se

and as you were talking with andy mccabe a minute ago, one of the other questions does have to do with the hour. if you live in new orleans for a long time and you wander the quarter at all sorts of weird hours, there is a point at which there is a transition happening in the quarter all the time, because there are so many hotels and restaurants and bars all along, bourbon that have to have service trucks that get to them. so there is a point at which you do start seeing an opening for some sort of vehicular traffic to prepare for the next day. but but right now, the question that i most want to hear an answer to is, what was going on with this bollard program? had they, in fact been removed from this end? because it certainly looks from the city's plans as if they would have been. >> yeah. and we have video right now. you see that little orange and white little flimsy barrier that anyone you know could, could drive through if you really had the intent. as this driver claimed to have, they were replacing them because they obviously wanted it to be a better, more robust system that coul

. >> with us now, cnn's senior law enforcement analyst, former fbi deputy director andrew mccabe. so the similarities are these both were using electric vehicles rented from this rideshare slash user to user rental outfit, turo military backgrounds. both drivers explosives on both trucks. andy. possible. it's just a coincidence. what do you see there? >> still possible that that's just a coincidence. but honestly, john, you have, uh, attacks occurring. uh, vehicle borne attacks occurring on the same day in different cities. that alone gets you a very intensive investigation to determine whether or not there's any connectivity between those two actors. and that could be anything from, you know, interacting and planning and preparing together to execute those attacks. or it could be something as simple as a infrequent contact over social media that just brought them together as like minded people. if there is any connection between the two of them, i'm i am confident that our law enforcement and intelligence folks will uncover that, but they've got to look hard for it. >> we heard f

joining me right now, cnn senior law enforcement analyst andrew mccabe. andrew, it was an incredible press conference, was it not? i mean, there was a lot of detail there about timeline, about forensic evidence still declaring that he appeared to be working alone, but then also saying they do want to fbi, atf, they want to reach out to people that may have interacted with him because he did travel quite a bit prior to this attack. so in your view, you know what is going to be the priority in trying to carry out this investigation. at the same time? better secure the city, especially since so many people will be descending on the city ahead of mardi gras and the super bowl. >> yeah. so let's give the fbi a lot of credit for really teeing up a very substantive, revealing press conference, which both raises new concerns about the state of terrorism in this country. but also, i think should should provide some comfort to the people of new orleans that, you know, we have good people on this. so for me, fred, the most significant thing that we learned in the pr

cnn senior law enforcement act list, former fbi director andrew mccabe got up early for us this morningappreciate you coming on. investigators also found he traveled to egypt and canada. would they be looking into who he met in those places to see ifif there are further links to isis? >> definitely. sara, i can tell you that 100%. in fact, of all the things we learned in the press conference questioned, to me, this was by far the most significant. the reason is, this is the only lead, investigative lead that we are aware of right now that could really bring the government, particularly law enforcement and intelligence communities, closer to preventing other attacks. if this attacker, jabbar, met with individuals who are in any way related to his attack in new orleans, in helping him think about it, helping him plan it, helping him pick a target, providing him any sort of training, financial support, whatever that might be, this is the opportunity for the government to identify a potential terrorist node that could lead them to identifying other operatives who have attacks planned here i

classified material from the fbi , gave it to a friend who leaked it to the media and then you have andrew mccabeused of leaking material to the media. this is a pattern within the department of justice. and it does show this culture that makes the department of justice the most hardened silo for the incoming trump administration. i think that is why the president wanted someone without any connections to the department of justice. because he wants to change the culture. >> it's important to change, think you professor. >> thank you. >> coups, coverups and pardons. coming to grips with joe biden's legacyen m. y is another option. it works fast, and most have migraine pain relief within two hours. you can treat it anytime, anywhere. tell your doctor all medicines you take. don't take... ...with strong cyp3a4 inhibitors. get help right away for allergic reactions like trouble breathing or face, tongue, or throat swelling, which may occur hours to days after use. common side effects include nausea and sleepiness. migraine pain relief starts with you. learn how abbvie could help you save on ubrelvy.

with us now, former fbi deputy director andrew mccabe, we have former assistant secretary of homeland security juliette kayyem and former boston police commissioner ed davis with us. andy, you have president biden confirming tonight. officials are investigating whether there's a link between these two attacks. so we've talked about some of the similarities. what are the things you're looking at that could point in that direction? >> well, so far, brianna, we have two, um, not necessarily relevant similarities. >> right. we know they both went to the same rental car agency, essentially this online service that facilitates private citizens leasing their own or renting their own cars to people. they both use that same service. um, and we we know that they are both they both have military backgrounds. but again, these are things that could easily have been coincidence. that's not to say that these two events are related. um, they wouldn't be investigating that very question if they thought it was something that wasn't, wasn't possible. and if it turns out and again, this is a big if becau

and with us now we have cnn senior law enforcement analyst and former fbi deputy director andrew mccabe. andrew, you're hearing the reporting there. we're waiting for more information. we expect that we'll learn more at this briefing that is coming up here in the next hour. what are you expecting to find out? >> well, i mean, i think it's possible we'll learn the identity of this, of this attacker. um, and and, you know, honestly, brianna, there's so many things, so many questions that we have for the law enforcement community at this point. but i think, um, evan is absolutely right. they are really racing now to be able to do to take as many steps as they can before that identity of the subject gets out, because that gives them it gives law enforcement a little bit more freedom to move, to do some things covertly, to show up at people's houses who they want to talk to without those folks expecting them to be there, things like that that can give them just a little bit of an edge in an interview or an interaction that might lead to important information. um, it's highly likely that this

you had andrew mccabe, who was accused of leaking material to the media. this is a pattern within the department of justice, and it does show this culture that makes the department of justice the most hardened silo for the incoming trump administration. i think that's why the president wanted someone without any connections to the department of justice, because he wants to change that culture. >> it's important to change. professor turley, thank you very much. >> thanks, kayleigh. >> well, coos, cover ups and pardons dems come to grips with joe biden's legacy. >> israel, the birthplace of our faiths. for christians and jews. that christmas morning, wise men brought gifts from outside the holy land. >> but in this year of war, this holy land and her people are living in fear. >> and many of the elderly are alone and suffering like the wise men or wise women. would you open your heart and give a special holiday food box to someone here in israel this christmas hanukkah season? >> right now, the hardships in israel are felt by everyone. people like hannah, wh

andy mccabe called it, quote, a massive piece of the institutions work so massive it's distracting themm noticing cooler bombs and assassins. but the shadow government hasn't learned a thing. they're whining that trump should have been put in prison before the election. >> you have extensive new reporting tonight on whether we'd even be here in this context, if attorney general merrick garland had charged trump earlier for his actions on january 6th. what are you hearing from your sources inside the doj? >> one of the things you hear from people who are involved in the investigation, we talked to about a dozen people. one of the things that they said was, you know, we could have probably brought this case a lot earlier. i'll read you just a part of one thing they said. one person we talked to, they wasted time. they were not strategic. and they said in the end, they ended up helping trump with the primary and dividing the country. >> this should all end pretty soon. jan 20th, two weeks away. if the vetting doesn't get these out, doj's should. let's bring in michael shellenberger. he's t

and it struck mccabe, overpaid. they became famous and we were looking at the text messages , e-mails, and the insurance policies. it was so by a spring and then it summed up to be a very partisan investigation. but they missed one thing. by the time the mueller investigation was completed and they gain control of the house which is the time the mueller investigation. this was not the same robert mueller. he had put around him some very partisan people that, at the day, many of us knew and the collusion was not there are really democrats couldn't take a that. for me that is the concerning part. even to this day, one things that we talk about, this is the fisa court, secret court and what is supposed to be. they were using and manipulating the data for political narrative, that is not what we are about in america. rep. buck: during the mueller investigation, there was -- information that came out. i'm not gonna suggest it was leaks from within the investigation. anytime you serve a subpoenam someone's going to talk a
