i spoke with pamela just moments ago about this. one of the key figures in comey's current investigation is former national security adviser michael flynn. >> right. >> you have new reporting on him. what can you tell us? >> well, i wrote a column today about the vetting process of michael flynn. and i will tell you what i learned. one is that at a meeting general flynn had with members of the transition committee as well as jared kushner and ivanka trump, he was asked which three jobs he would like and he said secretary of state, secretary of defense and national security adviser. the problem with that, don, is that he wasn't on the transition's list for any of those jobs. including national security adviser. but then the transition got fired, if you'll recall, chris christie and the rest of the transition got fired and who becomes the first big presidential appointment? general flynn to become national security adviser. and i was told that by people who were involved in the transition, that he had never even had a cursory vet beyo

thank you, pamela brown. i appreciate that. i want to bring in now john dean, john dean is the former white house counsel for president richard nixon and he's also the author of "conservatives without conscience." good evening to you, mr. dean. thank you so much for joining us. what did you think of the hearing today? >> well, you know, there was more detail we received. we knew about the meeting. we knew at the warning had come in earlier and this is just further evidence this white house is not inclined to really deal with this issue. what they keep doing is just stalling, stonewalling, if you will. the tweets are not responsive. that's why everyone thinks there's something there, is the way he's responding to it and dealing with it. >> how could he clear it up so quickly? >> well, he could say, listen, anybody on my staff who's even hinted at being involved in this will testify in front of any form, any grand jury, talk to any fbi agent, all documents will be made available, if there are any documents. explain what happened

. >> reporter: both pamela brown and i have been talking to u.s. officials who have been briefed on the investigation, they have been told by people on the scene, that there was an explosion that occurred outside the venue, that possibly caused a stampede, a sort of rush of people out of the arena that may have caused some of these injuries. officials, it's very preliminary, and they're just starting to get some of the briefings, but it does appear there was an explosion, as of right now they're looking at maybe terrorism, but nobody has said what caused this, but they do believe this was an explosion that caused people to run out of the arena which probably caused some of the fatal injuries. >> so it's not clear when you say the explosion outside of the arena, there had been one eyewitness who said that possibly something near the box office, but it's not clear if it actually was in the out if rim of the arena or out on the street, you're not exactly sure? >> that's exactly right, anderson, so it could have been on the outer perimeter, because you

let's get to cnn's justice correspondent pamela brown. pamela, i understand you have some new information you have to report to us this evening. bring us up-to-date, please. >> the new question is how much this revelation of former director comey's memo had to do with his decision. and we're told through a person familiar that former director comeyal didn't share his memos with top doj officials, including rod rosenstein. and until last night he had not seen those memose. and it's unclear how those memos factored into his decision to announce that bob mueller would be taking the reigns of the russian probe. we can also tell you as of last friday he was telling people close to him he did not think it was necessary to appoint a special counsel unless the fbi regz vuz in peril. and there was the fbi investigation yesterday. so it certainly raises the question how much that factored into his decision. >>> so he never read comey's memos before deciding for a special counsel? >> we can tell you before last night, he had not read these memos. fo
