mr. comeyi would try to say i hope not. it was certainly an im and prominent role. whether it made a difference in our election, my honest answer is i don't know and i hope not. reporter: arguably after pin, perhaps, no one outside had re influence on what happened. mr. comey: that is the thing i hope is not true. h no o a more difficult than the fbi, but i don't know the answer to the ultimate question. reporter: you describe it as a worry that clinton would look illegitimate or her legitimacy would beuestioned if she won. syou assumed from the pol was going to win. why didn't you have on the noise canceling headphones that said no punditry, no poll no press, i'm the director of the fbi and that is how i make decisions? mr. comey: yep, i tried to live with those noise-canceling notphones on, but i d consider the polls making the decision, but you have to tconsid public institutionst with admition of justice. despite what our mothers tell us about not caring what people say about us, when you l

if, however, the president fired mr. comey because of the russia investigation, because he wanted to influence an ongoing investigation into him and his campaign that comey was overseeing as fbi director, well, that might be obstruction of justice. criminal liability here hinges on intent, evidence of the president's intent in that firing. that's everything. so the 9th comey is fire, the 10th the president tells russians firing him will take off great pressure because of russia, he tells nbc news he's thinking about the russia investigation when he fires the man, all potentially evidence of intent. enough to sink the president on that? doesn't know. b then a few days later on may 16th we learned from this "new york times" report that mr. comey wrote contemporaneous memos documenting his interactions with the president that led up to him being fired. mr. comey had given one of those memos to a friend who shared it with the times, about a famous interaction in the oval office in which mr. comey claimed president trump asked him

mr. comey's book which is beleased next week, and there is no love lost here. president trump famously doesn't read books, so his furious twitter outburst this morning was more likely prompted by oreing his former fbi dire on tv discussing an infamous dossier. mr. comey: the allegation was ha been involved in prostitutes in a hotel in moscow during thei missrse pageant, and the russians had filmed the episodeu and he inted very ikfensively and started talking about "do i looka guy who needs hookers?" ne: mr. comey never got the president, whom he describes in his book as unethical and untethered to the truth. mr. trump isn't holding back, either, tweeting, "james comey is a proven leaker and liar. he is a weak and untruthful slimeball who was a terrible director of the fbi." but firing mr. comey in the middle of an fbi investigation into russian interference in the 2016 ection field allegations -- fueled allegations that the president was attempting to obstruct justice.o it aompted the appointm

he would be far better advised not to disagreements with mr. comey publicly. yes, this will work for him in the short term in the court of public opinion, but could this put himself in potential legal jeopardy? that is the danger i have my eye on. laura: thank you for joining us. ron: great to see you. laura: in other news, an american pastor has gone on trial in turkey, accf helping what ankara describes as terrorist organizations. he was detained in october 2016 for allegedly backing the the attempted coup and kurdish militants. mehe and thecan government say the charges are baseless. former first lady baa bush has declined further medical treatment and will spend her time in comfort care with her family a statement from the office of her husband, george h.w. bush, says the 92-year-old made her decision over the weekend, aer a series of recent hospital visits. mr. and mrs. bush has been married for 73 years. you are watching "bbc world news america."

jane: mr. comey never got on with the president, whom he describes in his book as unethical and untethered to the truth. mr. trump i't holding back, either, tweeting, "james comey is a proven leakernd liar. he is a weak and untruthful slimeball who was a terrible director of the fbi." t firing mr. comey in the middle of an fbi investigation into russian interference in the 2016 election field allegations -- fueled allegations that the president waobattempting to ruct justice. it also prompted the appointment of the special counsel rober p mueller, whossure probe is -- whose russia probe is gathering momentum. mr. comey's book reportedly does atnot reveal much about th, but it gives a scathing account of a president he clearly despises in , sparking immediate rebuttals from the white house. sarah sanders: the american people see through the blatant lies of a self-admted leaker. jane: this is not the first time mr. comey has become the center of attention. following his firing, he appeared before cores

even mr. comey isn't sure. mr. comey: i think the request that we drop the investigation is potentially obstruction of owstice, but i don't he answer to the final questir , because unerican law, obstruction of justice requires a specific kind of intention, and i rn't know what the ot evidence is that would reflect soe president's state of mind. jane: the memos laimed he the president suggested arresting reporters nd stop leaks,e denied allegations he spent time in a moscow hotel room with prostitutes. in a tweet, the president said the memos prove there was no collusion or obstructi the public feud intensified this week as mr. comey sat for several interviews to promote his memoir, and while he revealed little new information, his comments underscored some of the reasons a special counsel was appointed to investigate russian interference in the presidential election. bbrief time ago i was joined alexis simendinger, national correspondent for "t hill." have been waiting for these memos for a very long time now. what

if, however, the president fired mr. comey because of the russia investigation, because he wanted to influence an ongoing fbi investigation into him and his campaign that comey was overseeing as fbi director, well, that might be obstruction of justice. criminal liability here hinges on intent, evidence of the president's intent in that firing. that's everything. so the 9th comey aspired, the 101 10th, the 11th he tells us that he's thinking about russia when he fired him. then one week after comey was fired, we learned on may 16th that mr. comey had written contemporaneous memos documenting his interactions with the president, interactions that led up to him being fired. he had given at least one of those memos to a friend who shared it with the "times," a memo about an interaction in the oval office in which mr. comey claims president trump asked him to drop the russian investigation into his security adviser michael flynn. he also created similar members including some that are classified about every phone call and meeting h

that's really gutter and the fact that mr. comey admitted to you that he allowed polling and politics to influence his decision is much why rod rosenstein, the deputy attorney general, in a scathing memo on may 9th and others, other former attorneys general had called for mr. comey to step aside because they felt like he can no longer hold up the values of the fbi. he admitted to you he purposely leaked information to a friend so that it would get into the media and trigger a special counsel. this guy swung an election. he thought the wrong person would win. his people in his household wanted the other person to win and now at the end of your interview, george, he gave a free political commercial telling people to go out there and vote against the president and his interests. i think he struggled to answer basic questions and he looked a little shaky. he also -- i really was very struck that when he was meeting with the president, it's three very limited meetings with the president of the united states, i thought to myself, you wait

one is that mr. comeyas been very spare with the truth and that when you read through these it's clear that the context changes a lot of his concern. so for instance, mr. comey was very concerned that trump had demanded his loyalty. he was very concerned that trump asked him to let the issue of general flynn go. when you read through these you find the loyalty discussions were in part related to mr. mccabe, the fact that mr. trump was very rough on him during the election season. he was worried there might be bad blood there. and the flynn one also making his case for why he didn't think that general flynn had done anything wrong. that changes things. >> paul: what's your second point. you said that was one thing we learned. what's the other point? >> the second thing is you've got to ask here what was the basis for a special council, because there's not a lot there, even in all of these long memos. >> paul: jason. >> my take is that we're not learning a lot here, either from the book or the memos. he test

mr. comey's memos? right, well, arthel, i think the significance of the comey memos first and foremost have corroboration of some disputed facts between trump and comey about their meeting, most notably whether trump did, in fact, pressure comey to drop the michael flynn investigation and whether trump demand quote, unquote, loyalty from comey in the context of a conversation about whether he would keep his job. i think that's the big significance. i know that some are saying that comey memos show that perhaps he was bias, but i don't really think it's surprising that comey would contemporaneously document conversations with president trump, at the time he knew there was ongoing investigation to trump campaigns with contacts with russian and brief him on the very topic, it's natural that he would document it as a law enforcement official what he said about that particularly because it was somewhat sensitive information and relatively soon in the chronology when trump starts pressing him for loyalty, the

in an interview on american television, mr comey recalled advising the president not to order an investigationlleged sexual behaviour on a business trip to moscow. when he started talking about, "i may order you to investigate that", isaid, "sir, that's up to you. but you want to be careful about that, because it might create a narrative that we are investigating you personally. and second, it's very difficult to prove something didn't happen." welljust hours after the first extracts of mr comey‘s forthcoming memoir were published, president trump launched a tirade of abusive tweets, calling mr comey a leaker and a liar. in the tweets he said mr comey "lea ked classified information, for which he should be prosecuted. he lied to congress under oath. he is a weak and an untruthful slime ball who was, as time has proven, a terrible director of the fbi." president trump finishes with: "it was my great honor to fire james comey!" the bbc‘s anthony zurcher is covering this story from washington. i spoke to him about this memoir, not yet published, that has already hit a nerve with the president. ye

deputy attorney general rosenstein who is the person that actually made the decision to terminate mr. comey made the correct decision. maria: we will leave it there mr. chairman thanks very much for joining us this morning. >> thank you maria. maria: we appreciate it, more on the james comey book, with house judiciary committee member john ratcliffe of texas will join me next to discuss the new report from the department of justice detailing its reasons behind the firing of former fbi director andrew mccabe and how this plays into the internal justice department investigation on the bureau's actions leading up to the 2016 elect that and what should we expect coming up from the rest of this ig report. we'll be right back, stay with us. it's easy to think that all money managers are pretty much the same. but while some push high commission investment products, fisher investments avoids them. some advisers have hidden and layered fees. fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are structured

he fired mr comey in may last year, citing the fbi's behaviour in investigating hillary clinton and itsible trump campaign collusion with russia to tilt the 2016 presidential election. in the interview with abc mr comey said donald trump was incapable of holding presidential office because of his constant lies, and his views on race and women. here's a taste of what he had to say. maybe, although if he did not know he was doing anything improper, why would he the attorney general and the vice president of the united states, and the leaders of the intelligence community? why am i alone if he does not know the nature of the request? it is possible that any moment another person would have said, sir, you cannot ask me that, it isa said, sir, you cannot ask me that, it is a criminal investigation, that is obstruction ofjustice. was he obstructing justice? there is certainly some evidence of it. we'll have more clips of that interview later and analysis from washington. in other news, the arab league has joined calls for an international investigation into the use of chemical weapons in syri

clearly the ig believed mr. comey that comey did not give mr. mccabe the ability to go talk to the press. now as it relates to mr. comey you've got the added problem now that the memos that he wrote the seven memos that he decided to write on president trump never wrote memos on any of the other meetings that he had with the other president or the ag or anyone else prior to this, but he kept seven memos four of those were classified. he decided to lander them to a friend who then leaked them to the new york times. if those memos contain classified information, he purposely did that, he purposely leaked them in order to get a special counsel started after he was fired, he leaked pieces of these so we need to figure out exactly what is it that he leak ed. who did he give these memos to and was it just the friend that leaked them to the new york times or were there others? i believe there were others. i think that these comey memos were actually given to several people. it contained classified information, the irony is the very thing that mr. comey

he tweeted this morning about mr. comey. here it is. slippery james comey, the worst fbi director in history was not fired because of the phony russia investigation where, by the way, there was no collusion except by the dems.

brennan, mr. comey. after that was done, comey hung back with the president-elect and talked a little bit about the dossier and we're looking into this. and makes it sound like some big briefing when it was a hang back as far as we know. steve: kellyanne. >> yes. steve: according to the book at that hang back, mr. comey confirmed what your boss has said all along. he says we are not investigating you. >> yes, correct. steve: donald trump. this also a brand new clip from abc. they've got the big 2020 special on comey on saturday. here they are talking about. brian: sunday. steve: talking about mrs. trump. >> he says something that distracted me because he said if there is even 1% chance my wife thinks that's true, that's terrible. i'm a flawed human being, but literally zero chance that my wife would think that was true, so what kind of marriage, what kind of man thinks there is only a 99% chance you didn't do that? steve: so he is getting into that kind of stuff, too. >> psycho analyst. he is giving advi

mr. comey stepped in and protected her.illary clinton is too stupid to understand that he protected her from being indicted. not once, but twice. can you imagine? we could have had a candidate for federal office indicted. she clearly violated the espionage act, not once, bute repeatedly. mr. comey says you need specific intent in a statute that talks about gross negligence. we had specific intent. she specifically intended to have a server that was off-line, that didn't have the security necessary, she knew she would who classified information, and she knew she would -- mr. comey was a special pleader for hillary clinton and this is why the democrats hated him until the second after donald trump fired him and then they could make their claim about russian collusion, obstruction of justice, and try to impeach hima >> sean: mark, thank you so much. the great one, you can seeea 10:00 eastern every sunday night. congrats on the success of the show, by the way. we love having you here at fox. let me read something quick from cha

elections with his new book mr comey gets his revenge. a higher loyalty as james comey scathing reckoning with his former boss a man he accuses of acting like a mafia don but being driven solely by his ego with no moral compass and no regard for the truth russia's alleged meddling in the us elections for example apparently didn't bother him or two in the end it was only all about him. conversation to my surprise moved into p.r. conversation about how the trump team would position this no one to my recollection asked so what. what's coming next from the russians in the book comey alleges trump turned sour after his investigations into russian interference and us elections came too close for comfort there are salacious details of trump's alleged sexual escapades and a supposed videotape of trump with prostitutes in a moscow her tell trump has hope to use the f.b.i. director to his own advantage as he may want me to investigated to prove that it didn't happen and then he says. something that distracted me because he said you know there's eve

mr. comey he was a good guy, and asked ife would let the investigation go. was that otruction of justice? even mr. comeysn't sure. mr. comey: i think the request that we drop the investialtion is poten obstruction of justice, but i don't know the answer to the final question, because under american law, obstruction of justice requiresf a specific kinntention, and i don't know what the other evidence is that would reflecte esident's state of mind. jane: the memos also claimed he theed president sugge arresting reporters to stop leaks, and he denied allegations he spent time in a moscow hotels esom with tutes. in a tweet, the ent said the memos prove there was no collusion or obstruction. the public feud intensified this week as mr. comey sat for several interviews to promote himemoir, and while he revealedittle new information, his comments underscored some of the reasons a speciacounsel was appointed to investigate russian interference in the presidential election. a brief time ago i was joined

mr comey never got on with the president who he describes in his book as "unethical and untethered top is not holding back either, tweeting: but firing mr comey in the middle of an fbi investigation into russian interference in the 2016 election fuelled allegations that the president was attempting to obstruct justice. it also prompted the appointment of the special counsel robert mueller, whose investigation is gathering momentum. mr comey‘s book does not reportedly reveal much about that but it does give a scathing account of a president he clearly despises, prompting a response from the white house. the american people see through the blatant lies of a self—admitted leaker. this is not the first time mr comey, dubbed "a showboat" by the president, was the centre of attention. he appeared before congress in a televised hearing that attract —— that attracted nearly 20 million viewers. his book to be released on tuesday is already a bestseller. earlier, i spoke to the political commentator eric ham about tensions between president trump and james comey, and why things had become so st

mr. comeynks so. ainsley: might not have liked it or unethical in his opinion. brian: even the small things make you wonder about the big things. little things when i got fired the first person that called me was general kelly. he was so upset, too. i said general the president needs good people around him. general kelly's account was different. i called up and said sorry best of luck in the future. loretta lynch came out last week or this week we see it and had to go out and get "on the record i never said to the whole thing about don't call it an investigation. call it a matter. i never said to james comey, he never octobered when i brought up the whole investigation and had a public tone for it when comey said i did stand up. i was befuddled when she said don't call it an investigation. call it a matter. when he saw the tarmac meeting he quickly called a press conference he does regret using some verbiage. for the most part anybody he was around could see any reason to go through with an inv

mr. comey's right.ay it once again, sometimes the president hinders rather than helps his cause with some of his tweets. it makes it harder for me and others to go about and talk about the policy and talk about the things that matter. having said that, i used to defend mr. comey. i was one of his strongest defenders for five years, but i have extraordinary concerns with his behavior over the last year. i can tell you, for example, that what he said recently in the media, most notably in his interview the other evening is in direct contradiction to what he's told us in some cases before the committee. >> on what? >> i can't say that right now. at some point you're going to know that there's, again, not ambiguity, direct contradictions and that's not the only case i have concerns like that. there are many others. i think mr. comey right now is trying to sell books. he's being very effective at publicizing that. once again, i don't know the president's tweets help the narrative or help the conversations so

mr. comey about manafort who the government admitted in open court and paul manafort has been under investigation by the fbi as far back as 2014. the fbi knew that when manafort unexpectedly became chairman of the campaign of donald trump in 2016. >> is there some duty to warn or any sort of -- is there some action that the fbi should take. you are not asked to do background checks for people on political campaigns but when you know of what you know of these folks and ongoing investigations involve with these people seriously matter. >> should something be said. >> in general, it depends on what the facts are that started the investigation and what you learned. the goal is to disrupt the adversary's action. sometimes they'll do a criminal case and locking up the person that's with foreign power, hey, you are hooked up with them, knock it off. sometimes it is a laying in the weeds trying to develop source of information to get close to them. a lot of different techniques. the goal is to defeat t

this is not the first time mr comey was the centre of attention.ss in a televised hearing that attract nearly 20 million viewers. his book to be released on tuesday is already a bestseller. i spoke to the political commentator eric ham about tensions between president trump and james comey, and why things had become so strained. we have already seen this president actually go through so many fits and doubts with so many different people, and so i think this isjust one more battle in a very large, long—running war since the president took the oath of office more than a year ago. and i think this is going to bea year ago. and i think this is going to be a battle that will continue to ta ke to be a battle that will continue to take place, i think if we begin to see some type of pushback or any type of catastrophic attacks to the president, i think we will see it as we get closer and closer to the mid—term elections. but make no mistake about it, robert mueller, the special counsel on the russia probe, has had conversations with james comey, and i do b

mr. comey's motivation but i think it was unwarranted, it was a mistake. >> i am so disappointed in comey. he has left the country down. for partisan purposes. i'm calling him the new j. edgar hoover because i believe it. >> do you believe jim comey should resign, senator reid? >> of course. yes. >> sean: they hated him. now the media is back in love with james comey and the montage is just another piece of evidence proving that facts do not matter to the people and left, only ideology. the media blitz. "new york post" reporting one of the so-called major nuggets in his new book is the donald trump allegedly asked the former fbi director to investigate this infamous, completely untrue, unverified ritz-carlton moscow in a bad story by michael steele, the foreign national guy that was paid to get russian propaganda to manipulate the american voters. why would a sitting president want to go to an fbi director. i hope you can dispel it. if, in fact, he thought it was true. the president is saying that's not true. can you find out that it's not true. can you report that it's not true? wouldn't

clearly -- >> setting mr. comey against mr. mccabe again.id: a guy so inept not to know all of this stuff he certainly deserved to be fired, which is exactly what happened to him. let's talk about leaks let's get a little bit of exchange on leaks from the interview. go ahead. >> did you leak other things through mr. richmond? >> only reason i'm smiling i don't consider what i did with mr. richmond a leak. david: doesn't consider a leak with a laugh. >> depends what the word is means, what is a leak. what he leaked was a document he wrote on a fbi computer and shared it with a professor with specific understanding it was leaked to the press with the "new york times" and it was. it is hard, i think this is not helping him his book tour. david: no. >> because he is saying impossible things, things that are so bad, so hard to believe they're kind of laughable. david: it is also the case that a lot of the media is not saying certain things. "the hill" came out with a very interesting piece that the russian woman who took a meeting with donald tru

mr. comey, i would stop giving interviews if i were mr. comey at this point.he ig is investigating him, and we already know -- >> sean: we have to go quick. >> the prosecutors are waiting. comey and mccabe faced significant criminal liability. >> it is comey and he knows he's in trouble because he hired the two people he leaked government documents to so that he could invoke the attorney-client privilege and clam up. it was a machiavelli and move. he makes j. edgar hoover look like a boy scout. >> attorney-client privilege doesn't seem that to be the thing people are respecting. >> sean: apparently. >> lisa page and peter strzok as well and others, even loretta lynch. bruce ohr. there's going to be a lot of names in the upcoming reports and a lot of people that i think will be lawyering up. >> sean: all right, amazing work. everything that we have been telling everyone for a year, interesting now even other networks are finally picking up on it. not completely annulled by a long stretch but thank you all. great work. can't wait for that book, gregg jarrett. wh

mr. comey is right in the top and right with rob rosenstein himself. i don't know why we don't have enough fire. i introduced an amendment saying defund mr. mueller's investigation. these things are have to stop because they disrupt the public. and the impeachment if mr. trump fires mueller doesn't make sense to me. >> lou: your reaction to district court judges who decide they can rise above the constitution and tell the president of what to do and immigration policy and national security. and your thoughts? >> yeah. i read that opinion from judge batees itself. this is judicial activism and you find their pictures in the dictionary and this has to stop as well. and there is things we should do and limiting their jushgs dirz and some of these folks need to be removed. and setting aside. without constitutional authority. what the president of the united states clearly has power and authority to do and what they did in this one, you have 90 days to come back and tell us why and give us better reasons why you want to rescind daca. that is ludikrus. he is

mr. comeynd his book tour. host: ok. what is striking you most about the book tour? for askingnk you that question. i am 63 years old, which means i was born when eisenhower was the president. when i think of yesteryear, i think of those two things. there used to be a television show called the fbi, which i saw as a kid, and i do not recall any episodes where the head of abouti wrote a book revealing things about the president. fbimember there was an director, j edgar hoover, i think he knew a lot of things. i do not recall him ever writing or doing a book tour, revealing all of the whatever conversations he had with the president. a legal scholar, but i imagine that you have to have confidentiality in dealing with the president of the united states. the second point is something i personally do not understand. mr. comey has stated that mr. donald trump, our president, mr. trump, asked mr. comey for his loyalty. mr. comey seems to be upset by that, and my interpretation is that he says his loya

. >> well, mr. comey and he was willing to break the rules and maybe the law to get him. there's nothing that trump did that mr. comey was willing to credit in terms of truthfulness or concern about reputation and when it came to hillary clinton, though, he bent over backwards, everything was innocent, there was no reason to prosecute her, when you read the interview which includes material not aired by abc, he said he knew the clinton investigation, the clinton e-mail issue was never going to be prosecuted. this is before he did any investigation. forget about writing the memo in may before he interviewed her, this was before the investigation even got started, so you had someone who bent over backwards to protect hillary clinton and really had it in for donald trump assuming he lied, even without meeting him, he couldn't be trusted, taking notes on him and bringing in this shady dossier not telling the truth about origin, frankly he should have been told about it earlier, as soon as they found out that

mr. comey last night, he was sent to be unhappy about the allegations of russian interference. mr. comey is scathing about the president on a professional and personal level, deribing him as a man who twists facts to serve his purpose. donald trump's response has been characteristically blunt and delivered in the form of a tweet that james comey is a proven leader and liar. everyone in washington thought he would be fired for the terrible job he did until he was back -- in fact fired. he leaked classified information, elijah cummings under. he is a week and untruthful slimeball who was a terrible director of the the a's and it continues in similar vein. now the washington post reporter has been raining james comey's book ahead of publication on tuesday. he joins us now, welcome to dw. does donald trump have much to be worried about? >> it comes down to a he said, he said. when you see is probably a little bit more tribalism. if you're inclined to believe the president, you will probably believe

some of that applies to mr. comey.on the conservative side but a lot of people who have had dealings with mr. comey find him very sanctimonyous and holier than thou. he looks around washington and people don't measure up to his standard of morality and i don't think it's very appealing. >> bill: there is a lot of reaction on this from former f.b.i. officials. a lot of reaction from the hill. trey gowdy was on with martha last night and characterized it the following way based on what he has heard from the book and interviews. >> i think what's most perilous for jim comey is he has written a book about morality, ethics and truth and has engaged in more relativism than any book author i've seen in a long time. he said president trump lied and therefore unfit for office. he is proud of the fact his wife and daughter supported the other candidate who also has trouble with the truth. >> bill: that was something revealed in the interview. >> it's not good for former f.b.i. directors to go on colbert to reveal all the stuff a

neither mr. comeyr the inspector general is infallible and in this case neither of them has it right. meantime two congressional sources tell fox news the seven comey memos that memorialize his communications with president trump could be delivered to capitol hill within the next few hours. the justice department was under an obligation, if you will, to deliver those memos and we understanding that the house judiciary committee chairman bob goodlatte just this afternoon was drafting a subpoena to make that happen, neil. and as you mentioned, in the last few minutes, that bloomberg report of the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein told the president during a private meeting last week, rosenstein apparently raising the subject himself, that he was not a target in the special counsel investigation. that would be the second leak in about the last two months confirming that information, neil. >> neil: all right, catherine herridge, thank you very much. >> you're welcome. >> neil: i want to get a lead on
