one is that roger stone is a clown. i think you're interview reveals him to be a clown who has zero credibility. he's spent most of his time to convince people about a crack pot, his denial of this is completely i fe completely irrelevant to the case. an emerging members of the trump campaign had contact with russians or russian agents, julian assange and wikileaks is acting on behalf of them. roger stone not knowing that is a foolish, his denial is ig northe -- ignorant. the u.s. intelligence community. you note that roger stone put quotation marks around the intelligence community much like around the president of the united states. but various agencies run by patriots, nothing like this has ever happened in the history of the united states of america, so the kiechbd clown show of roger stone should not be allowed to distract us from what is a very, very serious set of allegations investigated by the whole range of u.s. intelligence sources in a very serious way. >> the other piece of it is is that the other individua

trump adviser carter page, former trump campaign manager paul manafort, michael flynn and, yes, roger stone. so today i sat down for an interview with stone, a principal in the story, and i started by asking him to characterize his relationship with the president. >> friend. friend of trump. f.o.t. and supporter in the most recent presidential campaign. >> do you call him? do you have his phone number? have you been talking since he's become the president? >> we speak from time to time but i consider those conversations to be privileged and i'm not prepared to disclose the content. you know, i have great affection for donald trump and his family. we've been friends for 40 years. i wanted him to run for president in 2012, as early as 2000. >> and you sort of started in a formal role in the campaign and quickly left the formal role and became an informal adviser and had contact with him throughout the campaign. >> that is correct. >> so i wanted to talk to you today because your name appears in this "new york times" story and i should be very clear about how it appears. you are not named as o

roger stone has been at donald trump's side. i remember him escorting trump onto a convention floor several conventions ago when he was going to run for president and we thought it was a joke. the question about paul manafort, who was engaged in helping prose, you mentioned soviet. it's funny i had that same instinct to call them soviets. prorussian ukraines. there's entanglement. one of the things that helped trump is the different skeins of this raise so many questions that it's hard to focus on any one strain and say that's what we have to question. the question i think really comes down to the senate republicans who have looked at trump as their instrument for getting a lot of good things done and have tended to overlook a lot of things. are they beginning to see this as a series of questions institutionally that have to be answered. >> he told cnn he didn't know if any laws were broken but serious questions were raised by the times report this morning. and here's senator mccain. >> we know that the russians attempted to aff

york times has reported that president trump's close page,rs, including carter paul matter for, roger stone, general michael flynn have been under investigation by the federal bureau of investigation for their ties to the russian better -- federation. where russian deputy foreign interfax a russian media outlet, on september 10, " there were contacts" with donald trump's 2016 campaign. he has been reported that the members of president trump's inner circle were in contact with the senior russian officials throughout the 2016 campaign. whereas, according to the 2016 candidate filing with the theral election commission, president has 564 financial positions in companies located in the united states and around the world. advice of guess the ethics attorneys, and the office of government ethics, the dieident has refused to fesses ownership stakes in his businesses. where as the director of the nonpartisan office of government plans said the president's to despair his business holdings by family members is meaningless and does not meet the standards that every president in the fat -- past four d

roger stone used to be a business partner with charlie black. why do they all know each other is my question to start with? >> you know, chris, i spent a fair amount of time writing political satire and when you list things like that and add about 90 others, i can't answer that question. certainly roger stone has been at donald trump's side, i remember him escorting trump onto a convention floor several conventions ago when he was going to run for president, we all thought that was a joke. >> yeah. >> the question about paul manafort, who was engaged in helping pros, you mentioned soviet, it's funny that i had that same instinct to call them sovi soviets, not ukrainiaukrainians. indeed, one of the things that has helped trump is the different skeins of this are so entangled and raise so many questions it's very hard to focus on any one strain and say that's what we have to know. the question i think really comes down to are the senate republicans who have looked at trump as their instrument to get a lot of things done, are they beginning to see

roger stone wasn't part of the campaign. >> juan: roger stone was very much a part at one point but he's clearly an associate of donald trump. i think right now the big problem for trump is come i listen to you, seems like calm down. but i'm going to tell you something, i see republicans right now, mitch mcconnell the senate majority leader saying we're going to have a deep, real investigation by a senate that's led a majority by republicans into what happens with the russians in the campaign. you see roy blunt of missouri. in addition, people say john mccain, lindsey graham but now there's a good group of republicans who are saying something is wrong here and we're not going to get our she was messed up by what trump is up to. before andrew mccarthy had a great piece today. he says if you release the tape of the phone conversation, it ends it. if the phone conversation shows flynn talked about sanctions, then it was good that flynn got fired. if you listen to the phone call and you find out that there is nothing there, then you realize there's nothing there. >> kimberly: whether it is a

i don't think we should take roger stone's word for anything today.e should have the senate intelligence committee to do their review. it's a threat not only to our democracy, but we've got elections coming up in key countries that are allies are ours, france, germany. if we take it lightly, imagine what they'll do in france and germany to tip the global power in their favor. >> i want to play what former national security adviser steven hadley said this morning. listen. >> reporter: there's an ongoing fbi investigation. that will gather fact about what went on. i think calls for a 9/11 are way too premature. >> as you heard there, there are some questions about what shape this investigation should take. how do folks over on the hill sort this out? what should they do? >> it is a stress test of american institutions to get to the bottom of this. do they look sincere, that they want all the information out? rand paul made a very disturbing statement the other day saying in essence republicans shouldn't investigate republicans fan that would be a terrib

i spoke to roger stone this morning, and he told me that that "new york times" story is categoricallyse, and that unlike flynn, he has not heard from the fbi. even with those denials to that part of the story, however, there is certainly a bipartisan push for more answers. we can tell you tonight the leaders of the judiciary committee, this is from both parties, the letter you're looking at, pressing the fbi for what they want now, actual transcripts of flynn's calls with russia. and flynn is only a piece of a much broader puzzle. some republicans calling for a congressional probe. >> obviously, these allegations which patiently are credible because they're carried by the most credible media. it needs to be investigated. >> the president is better served by congress looking at this, looking at it quickly as possible, but taking all the time necessary. >> i think now coming before us and testifying if that can be done would be a very appropriate thing for to have happen. >> congress certainly has an oversight rule here. but if there are potential crimes, which by the way is the only le
