collins, thank you. >>> we have breaking news into news4, "the new york times" has brand-new reporting that president trump asked fbi director james comey to shut down the federal investigation into michael flynn. the request came during a meeting in the oval office back in february, the day after flynn resigned. according to a memo t tonight the white house is denying that report and says the president has never asked comey or anyone else to end any investigation. >>> also tonight, the president's under fire for disclosing classified information to russia. you may remember on the campaign trail, donald trump took frequent aim at hillary clinton's handling of classified information. take a look. >> some bad things came out today. you know, those classified -- you know the word classified -- >> this was not just extreme carelessness with classified material, which is still totally disqualifying, this is calculated, deliberate, premeditated misconduct. >> the secretary of state was extremely careless and negligent in handling our classified secrets. we can't have someone in the oval office who doesn't understand the meaning ofhe word confidential or classified. >> that was candidate trump.

michael flynn. what will it lead to? that's going to come down to politics. with the bottom line is david axelrod. how do you see it, my friend? >> well, look. i think that you heard suzanne collinsing. the republicans are beginning to stake out much more independent positions on this because obviously it took a quantum leap in terms of the white house with this comey memo. and one of the things that whoever leeked that probably understood is that it would necessitate congress subpoenaing all of his memos and calling him to testify, which is going to be the most explosive appearance that we have seen in maybe since the water-gate era. so i think the pressure is going to build here, chris, which is the behavior of the president. if this memo is true, you know, and you put that together with the other story that was breaking even as this memo emerged, and that is the meeting with the russians and what he divulged there and you get the picture of a president who has no control, who is reckless, who has no sense of where the boundaries are and it is consistent with a guy who spent his life flouting rules, flouting norms, pushing the law to the limit, we hoped that would change when h
