let's get to cnn's evan perez, also michael isikoff, the chief investigative correspondent for yahoo news and tara palmieri. a lot to get to. evan, i'm going to start with you. good evening to all of you. tonight we have an escalating triesis between attorney general jeff sessions and president trump. what do you know? >> well, don, we were told there's been a series of heated conversations between the attorney general jeff sessions and the president. a lot of this stems from the fact that back in february, the attorney general decided that it was time for him to recuse himself from the russia investigation, including the fact that he hadn't disclosed some meetings with the russian ambassador, sergey kislyak if you remember. the president was sort of surprised -- definitely surprised that the attorney general had recused himself and he sort of blames that fact for the fact that now the investigation has grown and has become a bigger crisis for the white house. now, we're told, though, that justice department officials are frustrated themselves. they think that the frustration goes bot

michael flynn. but what we have learned from sources that told me, our colleagues, dana bash and evan perez, that these -- the coates and rogers in classified settings told the senate intelligence committee, told, excuse me, members of bob mueller's team, that president trump, in fact, did ask them to do that. to actually publicly say that there was no collusion between his campaign, trump's campaign, and the russians. and also, don, the president wanted him to -- them to actually clear his name in a lot of ways and say that he -- that the president, himself, was not under investigation. the president was frustrated, we are told, according to coates and rogers telling that the word that he was being told privately was not getting out publicly. now, both coates and rogers found the request, we are told, uncomfortable, that's how they relayed it to the investigators, but they do not feel that he ordered them to do anything but ultimately, don, this is going to be up to bob mueller's team and investigators on capitol hill to decide whether or not the president was trying to act in any way -- >> not how th
