but if congressman pompeo -- if director pompeo now can cast aside his partisanness, i think he has theacity to be an excellent cia director. >> finally, ned, what do you say to your former cia colleagues, your friends who are still serving in the agency, should they stay or should they go? >> this was not meant to be a recommendation to any of my now former colleagues. this was the personal decision that i came to and came to very reluctantly. i.e. certainly understand those who are staying in place, and frankly i certainly hope there are good people who remain, who will not only offer their best advice and expertise to this administration, but will, when present appropriate be a check on power in an appropriate way. i am certainly not encouraging them to take one course or another. this is a decision i thought was best for me. this was the way i thought i could most effectively serve the american people which is what i initially signed up to do. >> ned price joining us. ned, thanks very much, former cia analyst, for the national security council. thanks for joining us. >>> and coming

>> reporter: pompeo denied the withholding of information. director said in a statement, adding: but sources tell cbs news there is a chill in the flow of intelligence to the white house. it is in part a consequence of critical comments from the president about the intelligence community. there is also anxiety that sensitive information about russian meddling in the 2016 election could be mishandled. another problem for the white house-- no national security adviser to replace michael flynn, who was forced to resign earlier this week. retired vice admiral robert harward, turned down the post when the white house rejected harward's request to hire his own staff. one candidate for the position is former c.i.a. director david petraeus. at a security conference in munich, petraeus told the "wall street journal" flynn's replacement must have: also in munich, john mccain, chairman of also in munich, john mccain, chairman of the senate armed services committee, said the white house is losing control. >> i think that the flynn issue, obviously, is so

director pompeo. did you directly contact director pompeo to knock down "the new york times" story on the russian connection? sean: let me walk through the entire timeline. it's important. as i mentioned maybe a week ago "the new york times" published a story what they called contact between members of the trump campaign and russian officials. the f.b.i., deputy director was at a meeting at the white house with a meet -- in a meeting. he said the report in "the new york times" was, quote, b.s. for viewers at home i think you can figure out what that means. i'll leave it alone. the chief of staff said thank you for sharing that with me. can we let other people know that's not accurate. they went back and forth to see what was appropriate. finally came to the conclusion that they did not want to get in the process of knocking down every story they had issues with. they then -- we then were informed that other people had come to the same conclusions, including that time chairman devin nunes said i have b

i mean, i personally know mike pompeo. i hope he does have the president's ear. i will say that it's only -- we are a month into -- not even. what is it? two weeks? into the president's first term. and i think he has the right to settle in and get counsel from the people he has chosen to put around him. and there are some people who have -- think that someone like a rex tillerson or a mattis or mike pompeo, they are voices that the president has chosen to put around him. let's hope that he actually listens to them. because what we are seeing now are members of his administration, his cabinet, very close advisers, who are saying -- speaking from one set of documents, right, so to speak, talking about russia as the problem that it is and putin, certainly, as the authoritarian figure that he is. yet you have the commander in chief saying something completely different. that's troubling. hopefully at some point he'll listen to those he put around him. >> the president's argument is he wants a better relationship with russia, with putin, because he believes the russia

so the fact that mike pompeo has come here is a sign of the importance of turkey in resolving the syrialitia as an extension of its own kurdish militant group in turkey, the pkk, which it classifies asa turkey, the pkk, which it classifies as a terrorist group. they will discuss the safe zones that waldrom seems to have supported in recent daysin seems to have supported in recent days in syria and for turkey, this government will be pushing mike pompeo on the turkish official accused of orchestrating a failed coup d'etat in turkey last year, although he denies involvement. this morning romania's constitutional court starts to consider whether the government's decree last week to soften anti—corruption laws was lawful. although the decree itself was withdrawn following huge protests, the governing social democrats want parliament to enact similar measures. our correspondent nick thorpe is in the capital bucharest. this row over corruption just rumbles on and on. you can see in the pictures from last night, astonishingly cold, —3 but it felt like —10 with a strong wind blowing in the squa

mike pompeo and others elsewhere such as dan coats. they have to be honest with the american people and focus on catching terrible tourists, not on surveying americans in terms of their telephonic metadata and enter comet communications. >> i think it's healthy that trump has foregone the daily intelligence briefs, because the idea that the president wakes u, his first concern is what's happening in manila, what's happening in seoul, what's happening in the south china satisfy? the first thing he needs to be concerned about is what's happening in the united states that's who he was elected to represent. if these other elements come ino play, if they're actually engagd in aggression against the united states, but the idea that his mind should be preoccupied with everything other than the american people, their need for jobs, their need for education, the need to make the justice system as fair as possible. it's ridiculous. the president is not looking at the presidential daily briefs, isn't that terrible? >> terrible? are you kidding. t

reporter: white house press secretary sean spicer would not confirm or deny that cia director mike pompeodefend the campaign. >> i'm not going to discuss what we did internally. >> reporter: nunes argued the probe is probably a dead end anyway. many folks is that there's nothing there. >> reporter: is he right that there's no evidence? >> well, first of all, we have not obtained any of the evidence yet. >> reporter: adam schiff is the top democrat on the house intelligence committee. >> we can't draw any conclusions, nor should we. we shouldn't be prejudging where the facts lead. >>> if father of the u.s. navy s.e.a.l. in a commando raid ordered by president trump is demanding an investigation. he said his son died "in a stupid mission." jan crawford has that. >> his family was there. incredible family, loved him so much, so devastated. >> reporter: president trump earlier this month described meeting the family of navy s.e.a.l. ryan owens when his body was returned to the u.s. but owens' father bill declined commander-in-chief. in an interview with the "miami herald," he said, "i told th

> reporter: there is a report this morning that you reached out directly to the cia director mike pompeo. did you directly contact him and ask them to knock down "the new york times" story on the russian connection? >> press secretary spicer: if i may, let me walk through the entire timeline. i think it is important. as i mentioned a week ago, the near times published a story about what they called contacts between members of the trump campaign and russian officials. the fbi deputy director was in a meeting here at the white house that morning. after the meeting concluded, he asked the chief of staff to stay back a second to tell him that the report in the near times was "b.s." for viewers at home, they can figure out what that means. i will leave it at that. at that time, the chief of staff said thank you for sharing that with me, can we let other people know that this story is not accurate? throughout the day, they went back and forth to see what they thought was appropriate, finally came to the conclusion that they did not want to get in the process of knocking down every story that t

officials in turkey say c-i-a director mike pompeo will visit the country tomorrow to discuss security issues. according to turkish sources the visit was decided during a phone call late last night between president trump and turkey's president. turkey's relations with the u-s have been strained over the extradition of a cleric here in the u-s who turkey accuses of trying to orchestrate a failed military coup this past summer. turkey has also been angered by u.s. support to syrian kurdish militia fighting islamic state forces so far u-s officials have not confirmed the trip. right now -- a live look at the senate floor- are pulling a second straight all-nighter to protest another one of trump's picks. this time- it's over attorney general nominee, senator jeff sessions. the vote to confirm sessions is scheduled for today. the president tweeted late last night- saying it's a "disgrace" that his full cabinet isn't in place yet. senator eliz abeth warren is now barred from speaking on the floor for the remainder of the debate on jeff sessions' nomination. warren earned a rare rebuke by th

the meeting with pompeo was described as friendly. whether the friendliness between the white house and israel lasts, remains to be seen. the son-in-law is playing a key role in shaping the administration's middle east peace process. mr. trump has publicly support the kushner's efforts. >> if you can't produce peace in the middle east, nobody can. >> reporter: peace in the middle east has been an elusive goal for u.s. presidents despite many attempts over 40 years. craig boswell, cbs news, the white house. >> meanwhile, the trump administration is facing new allegations about connections to russian officials. intelligence sources tell the "new york times" that in the year before the election, trump campaign officials and other associates had repeated contact with russian counterparts. these developments come on the heels of the resignation by national security adviser michael flynn. >> the level of trust between the president and general flynn had eroded to the point where he felt he had to make a change. >> the president unleashed a

for the director of national intelligence, dan coats, may soon be in place with cia director mike pompeo and fbi director comey. >> they are in position, so i hope will be able to straighten it out. >> this comes as the senate minority leader went to the floor to pressure white house cooperation with congressional investigators. >> there's real concern that some in the administration may try to cover up its ties to russia. these records are likely to be the subject of executive branch as well as congressional investigations. they must be preserved. >> republican chairman of the senate intelligence committee rejected democrat calls for the attorney general jeff sessions to recuse himself. >> i'm not sure why you would ask an attorney general not to perform their job. i don't remember anybody asking for loretta lynch to recuse herself after she spent time on an airplane with bill clinton. stick with a former director of national intelligence james clapper issued a statement calling for a robust investigation that will me feet disparaging or disruptive of the intelligence community. most ai

president, vice president, secretary mattis, chief of staff priebus, general flynn and cia director pompeo where the operation was laid out in great extend. the indication at that time was to go ahead on friday the 26th. it was not a necessary step and also reaffirmed their support for that. on january 26 the president signed the memo authorizing the action. so it was a very -- not only was it a very thought out process by this administration, it started back on november 7 in terms of clearly well before that. it was moved forward on november 7. this was a very, very well thought out and executed effort. >> where was the president the night of the raid? how did he learn about chief owens death? >> he was updated on both the raid and the death of chief owens as well as other individuals who were injured. he was kept aprized of the situation. i think i would go back to what i said yesterday. it's hard to ever call something a complete success when you have a loss of life or people injured. i think when you look at the totality of what was gained to prevent the future loss of life here in ame

as you know, mike pompeo is now taking control of the cia. james comey at fbi. dan coats is waiting to be approved. he is a senator and highly respected one. and he's still waiting to be approved. but our new people are going in. and just while you're at it because you mentioned this, "the wall street journal" did a story today that was almost as disgraceful as the failing "new york times'" story yesterday. and it talked about -- you saw front page. so director of national intelligence just put out acting, a statement. any suggestion that the united states intelligence community -- this was just given to us, is withholding information and not providing the best possible intelligence to the president and his national security team is not true. so they took this front page story out of "the wall street journal" and they just wrote the story. but it's not true. and i'll tell you something. e i'll be honest because i sort of enjoy this back and forth. but i haven't seen more dishonest media than the political media. i thought the financial media was much better. but

whitehouse faced the music after backlash for voting cia director -- voting in cia director mike pompeo, across the country, progressives are borrowing the tea party tactics or maybe just borrowing them back. this playbook is back in vogue with a technological twist as groups find new ways to connect in the resistance against president trump. democrats want the same defiance in their politicians, but could it polarize and weaken the party? brendan was a key operative. founding partner at the political consultings firm stein houser strategies and he joins us now. thank you so much for being here. talk to me, do you think that there's a big difference between the tea party movement and the activists then and what you're seeing forming now on the left? >> well, certainly there's a huge id logical difference between the left and the right. and what they're fighting for and what they're fighting against, but there are some tactical similarities in terms of mass protests and rallies to gavelize opposition and then to direct that opposition toward legislative contact to try and get legislators

>> i don't think that would be the case for someone like director pompeo. whether that's the case for kind of people in the midlevels of bureaucracy, i don't know the answer. the intelligence folks denied the story, but it is possible that that's the case. what i would say, those folks are there serving a certain function. if they feel they don't want to provide this to the president because they have certain views, that's fine. the appropriate thing for them to do is resign, not to go outside proper procedures and with hold things. >> melissa: really quickly before we go, tell me definitively, do we need to find out exactly who leaked this information? do those people need to be punished and removed from service? >> yes. and the intel committee is investigating and we on the oversight committee are trying to get that information as well. so it is important. we do need to get the facts on that immediately. >> melissa: sir, thank you for coming on. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> melissa: donald trump launches a blistering attack on the press for over an
