mr. simpson's testimony based on the hours of questioning from staff. the committee can release the transcript if it so chooses. but after spending a entire day answering questions and zero testimony from any other witness, calling mr. simpson to a hearing serves no investigative purpose other than to try to find out the identity of clients and sources which are protected as a matter of privileges, and in the case of sources, protected in the matters of safety. we appreciate the opportunity to review the transcript and will do so. they end of the day, that transcript is the committee's, it's not ours. okay. do you see what's about to happen here? the reason this is such a big deal is because again nothing in the dossier has been overtly disproved. and if it really is a rode map to the veg, that's a very serious rode map to somewhere for the white house. the two main claims in the dossier was russia was cultivating trump for years that could oe blaj him to do russia's bidding. the other part, it alleges overt knowing conclusion between trump and russia a

mr. simpson's testimony at this point. they have got all of his information.ecause they were working with his partner christopher steele for many months the former british author, but the public doesn't have that information. who knows -- in ten hours of testimony what other allegations mr. simpson laid out and evidence to substantiate the allegations that have not been made public in the dossier. for this document to become public will have a significant influence on how the whole investigation is viewed. >> let me ask you a quick last question. when the dossier itself went public in january, the president of the united states was justifiably irate and it set off a day's long war of words between the president, the white house and the media outlets that published it and even the ones that simply mentioned its existence. it came into the news because jim comey had stayed behind in the first briefing simply to tell the president of its existence and probably what you're talking about that the fbi had it in their hands and they have investigating it -- they were

mr. simpson's lawyer is claiming "the investigation into mr. n as a desperate attempt by the trump campaign and its allies to smear fusion gps because of its reported connection to the trump dossier." what did they say? chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge has more on the testimony live from washington. >> the statement from simpson's lawyer did not address the key question raised by fox news after the senate committee confirmed the assistant and his legal team provided thousands worth of documents to congressional investigators. the statement from the senate judiciary committee reads in part "fusion's initial of documents consisted of headlines from publicly available news reports and more than 7500 pages of blank paper." fusion eventually provided a copy of the same unverified dossier that has been publicly available since january, and a privilege log that raises more questions than answers. last month, the senate committee issued a subpoena for some sin to testify publicly and at the same time, they found simpson at the aspen s

mr. simpson of stonewalling for giving the committee thousands of blank pages to answer to subpoena.y shaffer, a senior fellow with the london center for policy. it's looking like this whole thing was a russian setup. >> i think it was in some aspects. it's no mystery about hot so-called republican customer was who first started gps down this path and it was taken over by the democrats at some point. david: but what senator grassley is trying to find out, he subpoenaed elements of what fusion gps had. what he's trying to find out is whether or not the russians supplied fusion gps with this information rather than mr. steel the retired british agent. >> this is one of those points. apparently mr. steel is well respected. why would someone who is well respected put their entire career and reputation on the line by accepting something from a third party in this case, the russians. two other things on this. to me everything so far seems to have been completely false. there is no evidence any of the information in the dossier was real. and john mccain has now been indicated, he gave this

mr. simpson manipulated the media to spea smear you, and how do you know about that. >> yes, so, glen simpson was calling a number of journalists, pitching a story. the story he was pitching was that sergei had not been murdered he died of natural causes. and sergei was not a whistle-blower, he was a criminal. reporter: former russia ambassador to washington was asked about november 2016 trump tower meeting with former national security advisor mike flynn and the president's son-in-law. >> discuss opening secret channels at kremlin with jared kushner. >> i said many things, did not discuss substance of our discussions, out of respect to our partners. reporterpartners. >> wonderful reporting thank you. david: we're coming right back with much more, stay with us. >> president trump slamming obstructtionist democrats as a danger to national security. >> they be obstruct, you are putting all of america's safety at risk. david: we take with up with the dean, ed rollin grs and secretary of state tillerson accusing russia of armying the taliban. >> russia is supplying weres to taliban, that is a vio

mr. simpson testified today before the senate judiciary committee. he sat for over nine hours of questions before the judiciary committee staff. he answered dozen if not hundreds of questions. >> so what is clear to me based on that is, whatever is happening, whatever they're finding out, it is playing some kind of central role. >> it is clearly one of the first documents that came out that people gravitated toward to say there is something tangible. something real here that shows the nefls between trump and russia. it has certainly been around for quite some time. what he said to congress, that's a very interesting question. >> all right. thank you for your time tonight. >> thank you. >>> ahead, a ceo who condemned president trump after this charlottesville tirade now faces hateful messages. he is here to respond. >>> last night's speech by president trump marked triumph by the generals whose position was don't leave and add troops. one of the ways national security adviser h.r. mcmaster tried on persuade trump to recommit was by convincing him that

mr. simpson manipulated the media to smear you? >> the story he was pitching was that magitsky wasn't murdered. >> the russian ambassador to washington was asked about a 2016 meeting with mike flynn and the president's son-in-law. >> did you discuss opening secret channels at the kremlin with jared kushner? >> many things we do not discus discuss. >> kushner told congress there were no secret back channels. >> bret: thank you. interior secretary ryan zinke under investigation by the department's inspector general after reports he tried to pressure alaska's republican senators to vote for a bill to repeal and replace obamacare. much of the focus on the no vote of republican senator lisa murkowski. immigration enforcement along the border is one of the many uses of unmanned aerial vehicles. the government stepping up the effort to test and evaluate drones. that's where jonathan serrie is. >> small drones like this are expected to play an increasing role with the department of homeland security. >> we are going to make our borders saf

mr. simpson.e is a former "wall street journal" reporter who has, for years, been investigating russian corruption and russian politicians. he formed a private investigative firm and was hired in september 2015 by a never-trump republican, we don't know who, to investigate donald trump. and in a form of opposition research. he quickly began focusing on ties between trump and russia. he ended up working with former intelligence officer christopher they turned some of this information over to the fbi, but nothing appeared to be happening until james comey got a coopy from john mccain after the election. that seemed to spark a further fbi investigation. the fbi talked to christopher steele about working for them. that never happened, but it's clear the fbi was taking the dossier very seriously. but it's only 35 pages. glen simpson knows more than what's contained in the 35 pages published by buzzfeed. so it's interesting what democrats may be asking simp oy now on the record behind closed doors in th

mr. simpson and learning more about fusion gps and what the logistical system of collecting that is as important is salacious. i would love to see manafort's testimony, donald trump jr.'s testimony. >> me, too. >> they made private deals to keep those closed but the more transparency, the better. legislators are looking at 2018 and saying here is one way to create space between ourselves and president trump. >> let's hear a bit of what chuck grassley had to say. >> we have not given up the possibility that we would have trump junior and simpson and manaforte. it depends what comes out of the transcripts. that's something that we'll wait. >> if the president is watching he will go off on the fact that chuck grassley is even talking about don junior and paul manafort. he has lit a fire to anyone touching this thing saying you should protect me. >> here is the problem. we talked about this earlier in the show. a lot of political capital going after mitch mcconnell, specifically after jeff flake. this gets into a lot of republican senator's hides right now, promoting kelly ward, borderline crackpot

mr. simpson as well.nd there is a fine line that has to be balanced which is between interfering with an investigation of the special counsel and the public right to know. and, of course, as a member of the public, i want to know and i would like to know soon enough that it can be public before the 2018 elections. i think that's very important. i think they need to cooperate with mr. mueller so that they don't do anything, for example, you don't want them releasing information that is not already public and that could give a clue to someone else who's being investigated that might change how they answer questions. so you want to be careful of that and work with the special prosecutor. >> yeah, in criminal process, they frequently sequester witnesses so one witness can't know what another witness has said even during trials so that it won't enable them to adjust their testimony. that could be at work here. jill wine-banks, thank you very much for joining us tonight. really appreciate it. >> thank you. >>>
