showing me round is mike pompeo, who's just marked a year as its head.ous time around the world, and in washington. he's not shy about the cia's mission, saying he's unleashed the agency to take more risks. we're the world's finest espionage service. i'm incredibly proud of that. we're going to go out there and do our damnedest to steal secrets on behalf of the american people. in the room where america's most secret operations are planned, i asked him about russia and claims it interfered in america's last election, as well in europe. do you see signs that russian activity is lessening, in terms of subversion in europe and the united states? i haven't seen significant decrease in their activity. do you have concerns that they might try and interfere in the us midterms, which are coming up? of course. i have every expectation that they will continue to try and do that. but i'm confident that america will be able to have a free and fair election. we will push back in a way that is sufficiently robust, that the impact they have on our election won't be gre

mike pompeo has had a good year. megan: mike pompeo is the director of the cia and those names have been mentioned as a potential successor to rex tillerson. our secretary of state has not had a good year and we will talk about his departure has cooled, there is a widespread feeling that his relationship with the president is not long-term. so mike pompeo has emerged as a personal favorite from the president. this means a lot to the president, who you get access to. his circle is very small and mike pompeo has become one of them. julia: how has he managed to cultivate that relationship with the president? one story that comes out is the daily briefings. how normal is it for the cia director to meet the president on a daily basis? megan: it's more than that. how do they break down the information? a lot of pictures, a lot of graphics. there are two things about pompeo. one is that he's ideological. he's been forthright in defending the president about collusion with russia. this is a guy who is a west point graduate,

what do you think about what mike pompeo had to say there? are the north koreans nervous?i think they are a bit nervous, actually, without a doubt the united states has ramped up the pressure on the north korean regime. but let's also bear in mind that traditionally in the new year the north korean regime makes traditional overtures to the south. very little actually comes out of these grand gestures coming from north korea. they are really used overall for propaganda purposes. we should be under no illusions with regard to this latest statement from kim jong-un. he is a dictator who can't be trusted. and we have to significantly further increase the pressure on the north korean regime, especially through applying sanctions against pyongyang. >> jon: they might be used for propaganda purposes but also buying time. while these talks are underway, the north korean nuclear scientists and ballistic scientists no doubt are working more than ever on trying to get a deliverable nuclear weapon. >> that's absolutely right, jon. beyond a shadow of a doubt the north korean regime is

i think there's two things about mike pompeo. is ideological. he's been out in defending the about nt in charges whether there's potential collusion with russia during the election, whether it's his stance on iran, the middle east, syria, north korea. this is a guy who is a west oint graduate, harvard law graduate. this is someone who wears the coat of arms, as i call it, that those kind t likes of people. he likes people with a military background. >> cover story, the domestic cover story. subject whichking i think we simply either don't know about or talk about. in some at's going on of the late night shifts in meat processing factories in the united states. since i have been editor of the magazine we've fought hard o expose the sort of horrors that are under exposed labor orce sometimes illegal immigrants, sometimes white working class have been marginalized. support their to families on $8 an hour, $12. his story goes into this third shift. it shows the life and death on the lines of this third shift, risking ple are everything for an averag

mike pompeo released an additional 470,000 documents recovered in that rate. among many others, 255 page handwritten journal of jihad describing how he was much more engaged in all these terrorist groups. my question to you first is why do you think the statement was made that that was it, 571 documents? >> i wouldn't care to speculate. i will leave it to the previous administration to explain why they released what they released. i put them out because i'm doing my best to be as transparent as i can wherever we find an opportunity to do so in a way that doesn't present risks to american flags or to keep america secure. we reviewed these documents, we felt there might be some learning that could take place if they were released and the risk to american security interests was very low. we did what good government people do and released these documents and let people -- we had done our work and i can't say much about what we found but you can read the public press and what fathers have found. >> during the reelection campaign, president obama said al qaeda was o

head of russia's equivalent of the cia was visiting washington last week and met with the head, mike pompeo. a spoke with a number of officials and they would not confirm pompeo's schedule, but the director of the cia meets with russian counter parts because they have information to share. they pointed me to previous comments. i will also say this because it's notable the head of the cia is currently under sanction by u.s. law. here is a response on the record from the spokesperson for the office of the director of national intelligence. while we do not discuss the schedules, rest assured interaction with foreign intelligence agencies would have been conducted in accordance with the agencies, basically making the point if the head of the cia wanted to meet with the head of a russian intelligence service under sanction, they would get all the necessary approvals while acknowledging the law is in place. it's a nondenial comment you hear in washington. at the same time, they made the case of why it would be useful for the head of the cia to meet. >> interesting, indeed. thank you very, very mu

mike pompeo was out talking about this, pushing for this. a lot of people in the president's administration were representing the president's position on this that he wanted it to pass. his tweet was coninterest dictly. how do people need to trust -- not us, reporter -- stakeholders, people representing the president's position actually are? sarah: i think that the premise of your question is completely ridiculous and shows the lack of knowledge that you have on this process. i tried several times. i'll do it a 10th time here. look, the president supports the 702. but he has some very strong concerns about the fisa program more generally. again, this is why he put out a memo last week outlining such and why the d.n.i. director put out a new policy this morning. i'm not sure what the confusion is there. [inaudible] reporter: the president's tweet this morning was in your view not at all confusing and not at all contradictory. do you think that's an accurate statement? sarah: it wasn't confusing for me. i'm sorry it was for you. reporter: a lo

nbc news is reporting mueller also questioned cia director mike pompeo, dan coates and mike rogers. the president was asked if he's concerned at all about what attorney general jeff sessions told the special counsel. watch. >> no i'm not at all. i'm not concerned. >> not at all concerned. judge? >> the president has been saying since day one that he knows of no inappropriate communication collusion or agreements between the trump campaign and russian government. he's being consistent in that respect. let me give a little background here. the special counsel cannot compel you to an interview. he can ask you for an interview and you can say yes or no. if you say no, he can compel, even the president, to testify against your will before a grand jury. in front of the grand jury, you can refuse to answer by invoking the fifth amendment. there will be political fallout to that. but no legal fallout. should the president submit to this interview before bob mueller. the standard answer is no. never, not ever. because bob mueller and his investigators know far more about the case. even if th

then mike pompeo joins us. >> let's start with the book, the author, michael wolf reports that almost everybody on the president's team, in his cabinet, question whether the president has weather the president has the mental and emotional fitness to be the commander-in-chief. >> they say he is a moron, an idiot. this man does not read, does not listen. >> he's like the pinball, just shooting off the side. >> a cia director, you give the president his daily intelligence brief almost every morning. what you see? >> the statements are absurd. your fantasy. eyes with the president yesterday, with the most every day. we talk about some serious matters facing america and the world. the president is engaged. he understands the complexity. he asked difficult questions of our team so he can make an informed policy decisions. i watch and take information that the intelligent link committee delivers and put that into policies for america. these conversations are frankly beneath the conversation. >> these are the conversation. >> only because you made it so. >> chris: while because michael wolf h

they would not confirm on the record whether the cia director mike pompeo met with him, but they made the case for why cia director would do that thing. they said listen we exchange information all the time. and to the point of sanctions they made the point up on screen from a spokesman saying, rest assured that any interaction with foreign intelligence agencies would have been conducted in ha cord hans with u.s. law and in consultation with appropriate departments and agencies, in effect saying we can meet with someone under sanctions, we would let the appropriate departments know. we do that to exchange things. remarkable timing. >> thank you. and outfront senator rif. i appreciate your time tonight. >> thank you. >> obviously you heard jim not denying a report that russian sanctioned came to the united states and reportedly met with mike pompeo. did you know of any such meeting? >> no, i didn't. and i'm sure i'll in the immediate future. but look we have a lot of things that we disagree with russia on. thus we put the sanctions on. having said that, there are a number of things we

as mike pompeo said, it's about counterproliferation. 75% of the presidential daily brief, his daily intelligence brief, comes from this program, by some accounts. so this is a crucial program. there's a debate going on about whether the fbi should have warrants on u.s. person information that's collected here. but so people understand, this is surveillance of foreigns are and it's over seen by a secret court on a general warrant because most of the world uses american internet pipes. a lot of this information courses through the united states. but it's mostly about foreigners. and donald trump allowed himself to be confused by the same guy, andrew napolitano who sparked the fake tweet about trump tower being wiretapped. was completely wrong and that's where we are today. >> he's confused but he's also obsessed. the tweet also, and we shouldn't skim over this. the tweet also had language in there about the dossier which continues to be an obsession for donald trump. and the continued use and insertion of the dossier to smear the fbi. now it seems that his personal obsession with the

cia director mike pompeo today discussed intelligence and national security issues. also spoke about global threats that the u.s. faces and what president trump expects from the cia. this is one hour. >> good morning everybody. i am the senior vice president for foreign and defense policy studies at aei, and it is an honor for us to welcome the director of the central intelligence agency, mike pompeo, who i think for the first time is in his current role. i am going to read your bio. this is something i don't always do. i have sat down and look through the directors bio and i was enormously impressed. so i am going to read it and embarrass you. sworn in as the director of the cia in january of 2017, mr. pompeo was a congressman on the committee on intelligence and the committee on energy and commerce prior to that. he served on the benghazi committee, but he wasn't in business for himself, he was the head of his own company and was a graduate, number one in his -- and along the iron curtain, when we had an hiring, although we are on our way back. he graduated from ha

mike pompeo made a couple eyebrow raising comments about the president's position to north korea. listen to what he said. >> great. >> do you have concerns they may try to interfere in the u.s. midterms which are coming up? >> of course, i have every expectation they will continue to try to do that but i'm confident america will be able to have a free and fair election, that we'll push back in a way that is sufficiently robust. >> sometimes that happens on live tv. that was mike pompeo talking about russia instead and interfering with the elections, but let me ask you that since we're here. are you confident that the midterms will be free of russian interference? >> i think the russians are going to try to interfere with the elections just as they had in the past one and in elections years ago. so what we have to do is make sure the investigations are rapidly completed in a bipartisan thorough and transparent manner so the american people can have all the information they need about how russia is proceeding, about how russia tries to do that and giving the american people the tool

so we are going to work against the russians or any others who threaten that very outcome. >> mike pompeo saying that russia has meddled in tlaelaed . it's not an opinion shared throughout the trump administration. elise, when you spoke to the secretary of state this week, he wasn't as convinced as pompeo that russia is going to try to influence the midterms later this year? >> reporter: i thought the cia director's comments were interesting and similar to the ones he said in aspen at a conference in july. he kind of almost didn't dismiss it but kind of said this is what russians always do without specifically presenting any evidence and just making it like they're one of other actors trying to do it. i asked secretary of state tillerson specifically if he was concerned about meddling in the 2018 election. take a listen to what he told me. >> do you think they're going to try to meddle in 2018? >> i don't know. i hope they don't. >> do you have evidence they are? >> we have none yet. we do know that russia has involved themselves in other elections in europe and elsewhere. it is a message

mike pompeo. it may be no coincidence. conservative media is full of talk about a secret society inside the fbi. there's no evidence, no proof it exists, but the idea presumably is it would have been after the president in a nefarious way. where do they get that idea? >> cnn's legal commentator, ken cuccinelli good to have all of you on. president trump giving a wide ranging interview. here's what he had to say and then we'll talk. >> i'm looking forward to it, actually. >> you want to. >> just so you understand, there's been no collusion whatsoever. there's no obstruction whatsoever, and i'm looking forward to it, i do worry, when i look at all of the things that you people don't report about, with what's happening, if you take a look at, you know, the five months worth of missing text texts, that's a lot of missing texts. as i said yesterday, that's prime time. you look at in a and see what's going on, you do look at certain texts where they talk about insurance policies or insurance. where they say the kinds of things t

now, people are claiming some very responsible people in responsible positions, director mike pompeos one of them, that he's fine. but i think i do agree with the author of the book that not to wonder, not to question these things and kind of look the other way is -- is dangerous and irresponsible. >> so you know you mentioned mike pompeo, but do you think that wolff's assertion that 100% of the people around him, even his own family are concerned about him, do you think that's accurate? >> i don't know. i think he is convinced that -- michael wolff is convinced that's the case. so i think a lot of the book i think is where he's drawn inferences from what he was able to observe, vignettes that he watched, and he's drawn this conclusion that everybody around him feels that way. well, now we're hearing that maybe not so much. but even so as i say, even if the book is only half right, it's still disturbing. and just the fact that the discussion of this is consuming the airways, the media is in itself disturbing. >> what are you hearing, director, from your sources in other countries abo

president and a growing roster of interviews that mueller's office conducted last year including mike pompeo and dan coats and mike rogers. james comey was interviewed last december. >> the president wants to see this ends and see them finally come to the same conclusion that most everyone in america has that there is nothing to this. >> ever time we have told it's a nothing burger another tentacle comes out and i actually do think the average american, even the trump voter wants to know exactly what happened. >> no word from the white house if the president will agree to an inperson interview at this point. channel 6 "action news." >> thank you. back here at home a philadelphia man is identified as the victim of a deadly skiing accident in the poconos. it happened at blue mountain ski resort on sunday. officials say that 55-year-old gregory was lying on the snow on a black diamond trail and another skier came down the hill and accidentally ran into him. the coroner says he died of blunt force trauma and they are trying to figure out why the victim was lying on the ground in the first place

here is what mike pompeo had to say with the british broadcaster bbc. >> the russians have a long historyse information campaigns. that part of it is not new. that technology that enables it is now cheap and plentiful and the capability of transferring information around the world is simpler than it was in world war ii or decades ago. this threat will not go away. the russians have been at this a long time. i expect them to be at it. >> reporter: as you can see, christine, a lot of friction and distrust with the u.s. and russia. you know one of the things that president trump has been saying over the past couple weeks and months, basically since he came into office, he wants better relations with russia. judging by what we're seeing today, it seems it is not going in that direction, christine. >> thank you, fred pleitgen for us if mosct -- in moscow. >>> a russian military jet performed an unsafe intercept of the u.s. plane over the black sea. the american pilots say the jet came within five feet of their aircraft. intercept forced the navy plane to end the mission prematurely. this is th

the cnn learns that mike pompeo talked to the special counsel's team in the russia probe. and robert mueller will soon interview steve bannon. loyalty test. the white house isn't denying reports that the president tried to ask the top fbi official who he voted for. was it a loyalty test or a getting aquainted time? >> and starting all over again on immigration. can they reach a deal? and growing storm costly the special counsel look into the reported hush money payment to porn star stormy daniels following her alleged sexual relationship with donald trump? i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." >>> robert mueller's team has interviewed mike pompeo and will soon interview the chief strategist steve bannon about the firings of michael flynn and fbi director james comey as the russia investigation closes in on the oval office. our correspondents and specialists are standing by with full coverage. >>> this took place last year. the focus. questions were told by one source it is on the president's conversations with him to make a public statement that the president w
