mr. simpson? mr. simpson, will you take our questions?ney said he was taking the fifth because he testified in front of other committees and he felt this was really a circus and not a serious investigation. separately, we've heard from two republicans who have been in the deposition behind me this morning on the rod rosenstein issue. they both said that they were unhappy. one used the word that it was unacceptable, the terms that had been agreed to next week. this will be at this point a closed door under oath transcribed interview, but it's going to be in a classified setting in a secured facility. it's going to take some time for that record to be declassified and made public. harris. melissa. >> melissa: that's okay. great reporting. for more on all of this, let's bring in the former deputy assistant attorney general under president george w. bush. what's your reaction to what you just heard from catherine? >> i think it shows that there was fair amount of potential corruption in the justice department. as a former official, it scares

mr. simpson?> prior to the session this morning, simpson's legal team issued a statement to reporters saying that by forcing him to appear this morning, even though the committee knew he would take the fifth, they said it's another example about how this is really political exercise designed to help the president and not a serious inquiry. it was not accepted by mark meadows who spoke to reporters on the day in. >> the day of reckoning is upon us. he is losing his voice suddenly. if he claims the fifth it shows that potentially a crime was committed. then the question becomes what crime did he commit where he is trying to protect himself? >> what we know through our reporting, there is a conflict between glenn simpson's earlier testimony to another house panel about his contacts with justice department official bruce ohr. that matters because he was used by simpson and christopher steele as the back channel to get the dossier to the f.b.i. before and after the election, bill. >> bill: thank you, c

mr. simpson, why are you taking the fifth? mr. simpson, are you facing legal or criminal exposure? mr. son, why is there a discrepancy between your earlier testimony and that of justice department official bruce ohr? >> republicans called out committee republicans for forcing him to testify on capitol hill today when they knew he would not answer their questions about the dossier's sources and his contact. >> this committee would make senator joseph mccarthy proud. like senator mccarthy, this committee is largely conducting its business through secret, confidential interviews and depositions, binding witnesses, and their councils, to silence while the members walk outside to all of you, the media, and the public, and selectively leak from those interviews to tell you what they want you to hear. >> bruce ohr was on capitol hill in august for a similar deposition about how he passed the dnc and clinton-funded dos here, but withheld to the fbi in 2016. on twitter, the president questioned why bruce ohr is still working at the justice department. after the deposition, republicans said they

mr. simpson took the fifth and his testimony may tend to incriminate them. this is just one more we'll look into all of these matters. after the election we'll proceed with a report of our findings. that's true if republicans or democrats are in the majority. the new chairman can continue that work be in january. you also have a senate judiciary committee. you have an inspector general. you have warrant abuse allegations. >> this is a good point. what's your plan be you will be in the room on wednesday and jerry your colleagues are on the judiciary committee have a completely different agenda. in two and half weeks time the chairman of this committee. >> we don't know what the intentions might be. they would be the chairman of the over site and we'll continue this investigation. >> you think your interim report after the midterms will be enough to educate the public in terms of what happened here. will the president declassify the democrats you have been asking for in terms of declassifying it for the american people? >> we urge the president to do that. it'

mr. simpson, will you take our questions? was any part of the dossier ever verified? >> house republicans also have called for nellie ohr, that's bruce ohr's wife, to testify on friday. and she worked for fusion gps but now, she could be a no-show. so why don't you show up to something like this? is there an inherent idea that you don't have to answer questions but the american public has the right to know? >> i don't know what's going on in that story. in the 2016 election ever die? >> not if you lost. >> they are not stumped stopping and, that's what glenn simpson has said. devon nunez did the same thing where he threatened to hold him in there and he came voluntarily. and glenn simpson's lawyer said he had been nakedly partisan and was all over tv. >> a lot of people ignore people and hallways. >> answer them in front of anyone. >> i've been known to share too much. i certainly don't want to answer those questions in the hallway but i think if you get what simpson's wally mike lawyer has said, he is as forthcoming as he can be at this point and i would love to know

mr. simpson has early testified before three committees including the house committee, the house intelligence committee for more than 25 hours. this has nothing to do with stiff arming congress. this has to do with, this is not on the up and up. chairman is just doing president trumps business for him yet again. this is one big smoke street. in terms of his legal analysis, i don't know if he is any more velour than i am. the letter that was sent to him to congressman goodlatte stated two different cases that stem from the mccarthy hearings where someone had their conviction overturned because they were allowed to invoke the fifth. if not answering questions is a design of guilt, poise donald trump guilty. 264 days ago he said he would love to talk to bob mueller, here we are. he is hiding under a rock. >> shannon: if you are the president you have legal teams around you. >> i'm not holding my breath. >> shannon: he is going to answer some questions. we are following that. he is not quite to my getting a lot of attention out there on the campaign trail. senator cory gardner is heading up the g

mr. simpson on the way in if anything in the dossier had been substantiated. can you address that? four individuals named in the dossier have either pled guilty to criminal charges or have been indicted and convicted of criminal charges. i'll finish the answer to your question. >> go ahead. >> the central thesis to the first memo mr. steele wrote said that the russians were helping president trump win the presidency, and give him information to win the presidency. the u.s. intelligence community has since found that that was the case. >> wouldn't you agree there's a difference between the central thesis and the detailed allegations that are laid out in the dossier? >> i would in that the big picture should be the most important point. if you want to quibble with one detail here and there, you're losing the big picture. catherine, the russians tried to elect donald trump president. it's been proven. and you're quibbling about whether this little detail on page 127 was correct or not? it's absurd. we've got to stop this. the big picture is that a foreign, hostile power was trying to

mr. simpson has already voluntarily testify for over 25 hours before three congressional committees.ose committees did not have complete information about the anti-trump dossier. and its political routes financed by the dnc and clinton campaigns. depositions are also scheduled the fbi's former top lawyer james a baker. he revealed earlier this month to rational investigators that the russia case was handled in a "abnormal fashion," as well as a russia researcher nellie ohr worked for simpson's company fusion gps. documents show her husband justice department official bruce ohr became the unofficial back channel for the dossier to the fbi. in simpson's earlier testimony conflicts with the emails about their contacts. republican chairman of the panel is considering a subpoena for the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein to secure his testimony under oath about whether he seriously discussed regarding the president in may 2017 and removing him from office. one committee member said there is no other option. >> one rod rosenstein doesn't come voluntarily and the ordinary course of an i

simpson is pleading the fifth amendment to avoid testifying before congress. congressman devin nunes represents california, and he is the chairman of the house intelligence committee. he joins us tonight. mrman, thank you very much for coming on. before i ask about glenn simpson and why you think he might not be testifying to your committee, i want to get an update on the documents that the rest of us were supposed to see, most specifically the fisa warrant that allowed the spying that the obama administration did on carter page. are we ever going to find out the justification for that? >> years of your life not getting back, many americans including myself, i think that's a great opening. we are very frustrated that we haven't been able to get these documents out. the president ordered them and then you had rod rosenstein who got in the middle of it. i would be fine if rosenstein got in the middle of it, if he had a real reason but every time he said he had a reason to block this information, it ends up being false. now you have rod rosenstein who won't even testify before congress. so are we going to see this information? i guess we are waiting, the president put the ig in charge of it,

mr. strzok was up to, about what bruce ohr and glenn simpson was up to it's all designed to protect thisueller special counsel which is illicitly targeting, in my view were president trump. >> reporter: they could have subpoena power and start their own investigations that could drag through the presidential election. but voters seem to have different views. likely voters in the 2018 congressional elections. russia, the probe, by pegs counsel robert mueller is not even in the top four. healthcare is number one among voters. the mueller probe is last on that list at 30% of likely voters. it's well behind. some border security, even climate change. trish: it's amazing the mueller probe is lower than climate change. corey, you were on that campaign, you were running that campaign. did you collude with any russians? >> it's amazing. i have said this so many times. we didn't collude with any russians. but anybody who tried to impact the outcome of this election in an illegal way should go to jail for the rest of their lives. but what i'm concerned about more than that is the role rod rosenste
