and forth whether president trump had ordered mcgahn to fire special counsel robert mueller and the long and short of it, halle, is that it ultimately prompted mcgahn to remind the president, this is something you actually did ask me to do, the fire robert mueller. the "the new york times" says, the president said he remembers that z-irchly. that's one instance. the second instance a little bit easier to explain. it has to do with his former chief-of-staff reince priebus and he asked them, how'd they treat you? were they nice? that's what the "the new york times" is reporting. that other headline you mentioned in "the washington post" said mueller is gathering evidence that indicates that a meeting between a trump associate and a russian official prior to the inauguration was, in fact, aimed at setting up a back channel between russia and the united states despite the fact that that meeting had been cast otherwise. the question is, do any of this really raise any legal issues? i know you'll drill in into that ty cobb say lawyer that handles all things russia here giving his stock answer and let me read you wha

halle. >> thank you for coming on the shorts. joining us now robert johnston head of the cyberer security firm. ned price. and our panel for the hour, white house supporter sarah, and robert bloomberg. robert to you first. when you look at what is happening with facebook you're seeing a backlash. what does mark zuckerberg need today and what is he going to do? >> thank halle. i think what mark zuckerberg need to do is be open and transparent. it's no surprise that the russians used facebook as a social medium to reach millions of voters across the united states. i think there needs to be action and the action needs to be both technical and policy driven. so, one facebook needs a good policy on whether or not collecti collecting data or mining data in the way that cambridge analytica did is okay and two, they have to put in some measures for meddling. they have already put in some measures to prevent people from posting political ads that about supposed to on facebook so they can fete rid of the potential influence that is occurred during the 2016 elec

glenn hall is chief editor for dow jones newswires, the attorney general defended himself as john robertsas just saying after the president's tweet storm. is that the appropriate way to go here? >> it's been rare for sessions to rebut the president and generally has been very supportive. in this case he didn't directly take on president trump as much as he said he will continue to act with integrity and his department will continue to act with impartiality for as long as he is on the watch. >> jon: that piece i just referenced suggests that she thinks the attorney general did the right thing. >> that's what the inspector general's are for, to do these kind of internal investigations within authority and impartiality. it's a little bit of a different scenario, justice department lawyers are investigating justice department divisions like the fbi. the inspector general creates a step removed from that internal dynamic. >> jon: also in that piece she suggests it is silly for president trump to call michael horwitz in this case an obama guy. >> he was a george w. bush guy before he was an oba

robert mueller. tell us what we know about this and why the government is not talking about it? >> right, halle, this is politics half way across the world impacting our politics herism as we know cutter's nation were hated earlier in 2017, hutting them off -- cutting them off for medical supplies and food. and president trump endorsed that decision. it was thought to be influenced, led by they're president was able to set up meetings with jared kushner and orrs of the white house. it was believed to be unfairly influenced against the question tarries. that you they didn't go to robert mueller because they didn't want that backlash against them. they visited in january, set up a meeting with the fbi but never went to mueller about the meeting. so, really, they're caught 'this place where they have information but they don't want to go forward with it because they have the two competing interests here. a lot of information has come forward and it's been out in other media support and it's something robert mueller is looking into. >> nick, a spokesperson from jared kushner's lawyer says curbfer w
