is he interested in joseph schmitz? >> we don't know if he's interviewed by mueller and we asked him and went to his home and prior in the week he did not comment. now one could theorize that -- other witnesses have been asked about schmitz because he was an adviser to the president and present in the meeting in march 2016. but we do know that mueller has been interested in what you were describing, don, which is efforts to get hands on information damaging to hillary clinton, which a lot of campaigns do. but even if that information had a questionable providence, whether it was coming from russia as we saw in the trump tower meeting with the russians or the dark web in this case whether it was illegally obtained. that is the question. so we know robert mueller is interested and whether he interviewed joseph schmitz about this we don't know. >> thank you. appreciate it. >>> when we come back, more on what a conversation between robert mueller and the president could look like. and the president and his chief of staff di

schmitz was a policy, foreign policy adviser, to the campaign.able with then-candidate trump in march, 2016. >> now he met with officials at the fbi, state department, and the intelligence community about a trusted source that discovered the emails. officials briefly interviewed schmitz, but the emails were never verified. additionally, a cybersecurity expert who saw the material on the dark web told cnn that they appeared to be fake. cnn tried to contact schmitz with questions, but he declined to comment. and here to discuss all of this, political reporter and co-author of "playbook," daniel lit man. and contributor and writer for "the new yorker," adam intiss. fired chief strategist steve bannon said that members of the trump campaign kept getting approached by outsiders suggesting ways to get the emails. this reporting would support the testimony. this also seems to show that this campaign was just relentless in trying to get any kind of information they could from anywhere they could. >> yeah. obviously the emails were the holy grail. people

sources describe schmitz as relentless but they believe the tae -- the material was take. jick -- jim sciutto will be here with that. >> and praising scott pruitt even though he is under fire for renting a cut rate condo from energy lobbyists but the president said pruitt, is quote, a good man. which might be the kiss of death in this administration. ask rex tillerson, hr. mcmaster, steve bannon, michael flynn, anybody on the outs. and he hits vladimir putin where he lives with undeniably tough sanctions against a group of oligarchs with ties to the russian president. so how will putin respond? we'll figure that out. plus the dow tumbling 572 points on fear of a bruising trade war with china. and the president said this -- >> i'm not saying there won't be a little pain. but we're going to have a much stronger country when we're finished. >> a lot to discuss. i want to start with cnn senior white house correspondent dan brown and legal analyst laura coats, and analyst michael zeldin who is robert mueller's special assistant at the justice department. a lot to get to. good e

>> that's right, and keep in mind schmitz was no coffee boy, right? he advised the campaign for a number of months. he was actually considered for secretary of the navy in the trump administration. he, we are told by sources, was relentless in his pursuit here, and he really believed that he had the real deal, clinton's e-mails. so much so that he took them to three major agencies. the fbi, the state department, took them to the television community's inspector general. then he went to the house intelligence committee with these, his attention being to get them verified. he didn't want to lose security clearance in and possibly to disseminate them. that's the issue here because it appears to fit in with a broader effort in the campaign to get these e-mails regardless of where they were coming from. >> when you talk about him that he was obviously no mere coffee boy and he was under consideration for secretary of the navy, this was an about things like security clearance. but when you taublg about his obsession, this does speak to the kind of people tr

joseph schmitz had a role in finding the deleted e-mails. jim screwo has details. >> my colleague jenna mcloughlin are told by many sources that a it was pushed to review the material from the dark web that he thought were hillary clinton's deleted e-mails. his push just the latest example of trump advisers who were mixed up in efforts to find dirt on clinton, including potential stolen e-mails during the presidential campaign. cnn has learned that a trump campaign adviser played a key role in an effort to find hillary clinton's 30,000 deleted e-mails on the dark web. >> wow. >> reporter: and reveal any damaging information contained within them. >> it's not easy being a whistle-blower. >> reporter: joseph schmitz was a foreign policy adviser to the campaign, seen here seated at a table with then candidate trump in march of 2016. meeting with officials at the fbi, state department and the intelligence community inspector general, he told them a sort he called patriot discovered what he believed were the deleted e-mails on the dark web. he th

it's ramping up very quickly. >> we got schmitz and who knew who vander swan was. no one did. >> i had never heard of papadopoulos before he pled. >> yeah, interesting. i was thinking about paul manafort. 305 years in prison. what do you say to that? i give up. i mean, that is- that is unfathomable. michael, look, manafort's attempt to have the civil and criminal charges dismissed were pretty quickly thrown out. on what grounds did he try to challenge the deputy ag? >> what he tried to say was that mueller didn't have the mandate to investigate those charges that related to ukraine private business dealings and the failure to register as a foreign agent or failed to pay taxes on those monies. so he filed a motion to dismiss the indictment against him on the grounds that mueller was acting outside of his mandate. mueller responded to that with an opposition to the motion to dismiss. and in that motion as appendix b or c -- i forget -- he attached a letter that rosenstein wrote to him in -- on august 2nd. remember mueller is appointed may 17th. in that letter rosenst

schmitz then took his information to the house intelligence committee. this is the latest in trump's advisers mixed up in trying to find dirt on clinton. steve bannon said in february the trump staff were repeatedly contacted by people for ways to get the e-mails. a trump official said cnn does not comment on matters of interest to the special counsel or committees. the material was not verified. "i'm pretty sure they were posted on the dark web equivalent of reddit," he said. i should mention schmidt was one of trump's first five campaign foreign policy advisers, this in the spring of 2016. he counselled trump through the november election, this according to his professional biography and after trump's victory, he considered smichmid as a possible secretary of the navy. but he was certainly no coffee boy. he had a role in the campaign. >> and he had impressive credentials going into the campaign. how were they able to determine all of this from the so-called dark web was fake? >> when schmitz brought knowledge of this to the inspector general and the of

let me start with you, michael schmitz, on the phone, if i can. nbc news can confirm it now but i know that tom spoke it first. what more do we know? >> just getting a better idea of what federal authorities were looking for when they went into michael cohen's residences and office yesterday. they were looking for documents related to payments that were given to women that had reached these agreements for michael cohen. they were looking for stuff related to the national inquirer. and this was part of this court approved warrant that they had been given by a judge in new york to go into michael cohen's office. extraordinary thing for agents, for fbi agent in this case, to be going into a lawyer of the president's office, very highly unusual. >> we know one of the women was stormy daniels, the adult film star. who's the other women? >> the other woman was another woman that had reached a deal with the president, a former playboy model who had reached a deal with the president who had spoken publicly about this. they were looking for documents about

joseph schmitz. he was not a coffee boy in the campaign. he was a foreign policy adviser in that famous photo with the president when he introduced his foreign policy team, sitting next to george papadopoulos as you can see there. he obtained what he believed were hillary clinton's missing 30,000 e-mails or deleted 30,000 e-mails obtained from the dark web and took them so seriously that he then took them to multiple federal agencies. he's a former department of defense official himself. he went to the state department. he went to the fbi. he went to the inspector general of the intelligence community and said, these e-mails need to be reviewed. they need to be declassified, apparently with the intention of then disseminating those e-mails. when he didn't get what he wanted from them, he then went to the house intelligence committee and shared them there. he was interviewed by the fbi, by the intelligence community, but they did not take this very seriously. they in fact, we're told by multiple sources, anderson, my colleague jenna mclaughl
